PRESENTS FROM FASSY! BEAUTIFUL BUFFY & KATNISS ICONS!

[red_satin_doll]

To celebrate her 10th anniversary as an icon artist, fassy offered to make icons for a certain number of folks, and I was lucky enough to be the last person to make the deadline for requests.  I asked for Buffy and/or Katniss ( two of my favorite fictional ladies).  I loved Catching Fire (the movie) and felt that Katniss was Buffy's spiritual heir

Lovely gifts! :o) Glad you got some pretty ones! What a nice holiday present! :o)

And ha! I totally read the books as they came out...a year between each. And I definitely shipped Peeta and Katniss the whole way. Book Peeta is different than movie Peeta. And I felt like how they fell in love was more gradual and natural and based on changes in their lives and experiences...kind of like but also very different than Spike and Buffy. Plus, being a psychologist and seeing the trauma that Peeta and Katniss go through and how they help each other through the aftermath...made me ship them more. It was interesting to see how people who read the books as they came out hoped for/debated/shipped Gale or Peeta...

I know I won't convince you but had to state my case. ;o)

What a nice holiday present!

Aren't they divine?

I actually do ship Katniss with Peeta over Gale even without reading the books because the fact that they have bonded in "war", in a great trauma that only another victor could understand, (more shades of Buffy and Spike) makes a lot of sense to me even if it's greatly compressed in the books.

Peeta's "insanity" via brainwashing has a very S7 vibe, no?

I think the actors don't really have sexual chemistry onscreen, however - Hutchins and Lawrence are a bit too much brother / sister. (Now Lawrence and Claflin in just one or two scenes in Catching Fire? HOLY SMOKES PEOPLE SOMEBODY GET ME A FIRE EXTINGUISHER. Or the smelling salts.)

I hear you on the chemistry onscreen! In the movies, they rush the romantic moments too much for my tastes... You'd probably enjoy the books! My mom even loved them when I bought them for her...

A double-recommendation. cool! If Mom likes them they must be good :D I'll move them up on my reading list. I don't do enough reading for fun (outside of fanfic)

WOW, much prettyness! I especially like 1, 2 and 3. Pretty colors!

Aren't they lovely? She's done brighter palettes in other icons but the subdued look is right up my alley.

These icons look excellent. :) What a lovely prezzie.

Isn't it though? I'm well and truly pleased with them. I may have to knock out some other user pics to have more in my gallery at once.

Fantastic icons! You scored cool prezzies!

I did indeed! It was totally by chance that I saw her post offering presents and I couldn't resist asking.

I'm so used to making my own icons now that it's a treat to have some made specifically for me. And Fassy is an incredible talent.

Aren't they though? I've got other icons by Fassy in my userpics gallery, she's an incredible artist
