btvsats20in20 ROUND 15: Out of Mind, Out of Sight (BtVS S1.11)

Jan 01, 2016 13:15

So we made it to the flip side - Happy 2016, my friends! May it be better than 2015. (I say that every year. It never is better, but I always hope anyway.)

This was my "last hurrah" of 2015 (Good-bye old year, I won't miss you. At all.) and my first hurrah of 2016, for btvsats20in20 Round 15.
Plus a special treat for the Giles/Angel shippers in the house! ( ( Read more... )

Really? I can see it just fine. Try refreshing your browser and then let me know if it's still a problem.

ETA: I just edited and re-added the icon, so it should work now. But here is the icon itself:

Working now :-)

Great!

Wish I could see the Cat 5 icon, but other than that, these are AMAZING! I especially adore Pastel, Surprise, Cat 1, Cat 2, Cat 3, and AC 5. Genius work!

Also, check this out, and this, followed by this.

You're welcome.

I just re-edited and re-added the icon sweetie so it should work now, let me know.

Thank you so much for compliments, I'm just stunned by your words Gabrielle! What a lovely way to start the new year.

I knew you were going to like AC5. I had you in mind when I made that one. :D

velvetwhip January 1 2016, 20:27:00 UTC

Okay, add Cat 5 to my favorites! Bravissima!!!!!

Thank you, thank you! *bows* The category set turned out to be a lot more challenging than I anticipated.

snogged January 1 2016, 19:46:07 UTC

You did a super job on your 20in20 and your Giles/Angel icons. :)

My favorites from your 20in20 are: Red+White, Pastel, Light Texture, Peaceful, Cat 1, Cat 3, and AC 3.

red_satin_doll January 1 2016, 20:00:50 UTC

Thank you m'lady!

You're the second person to single out Pastel, I'm surprised (and pleased) because I wasn't sure I liked it. I wasn't sure about Peaceful either so I'm glad you like. (i wanted to do more Willow icons in this set but this ep isn't the best for the Willow visuals. Probably because Cordy takes a bigger role.)

Happy new year! Did you stay up for it last night?

snogged January 1 2016, 21:15:16 UTC

We did stay awake. We hung out with our neighbors last night. They taught us how to play Euchre and I learned that drinking an entire bottle of chocolate cherry wine is a poor practice.

red_satin_doll January 1 2016, 21:31:55 UTC

EWW, that sounds awful to start with, never mind an entire bottle. (This from a gal whose favorite beer is Sam Smith double chocolate stout, so what would I know?) But Euchre sounds fun - I never learned how to play it either, is it difficult?

great work

red_satin_doll January 1 2016, 21:37:50 UTC

Thank you hon!

These are great! Your doing so many S1 icons these days!

My favorites are Red and White, Pastel (I love "soft" icons), Surprise, Provided Texture, Hair (PORN, yayyyy!) and Light Texture. I also like the silver and gold series because baby!SMG has a pretty face and shiny icons are perfect for her. In CAT5 she looks like the lovechild of Katniss and Cordelia though?? Or maybe it's the flu talking. Also AC4 is very cool.

I don't get the Angel/Giles, although I'm always here for boys screwing each other senseless. LOL. I think that Giles/Spike has a lot more of canon-y stuff going on, with Spike chained in the bathtub and them being British and stuff. But Angel and Giles would be interesting in a painful way.

Thsnk you hon!

Credit to snogged for encouraging me to do an S1 claim many moons ago. I've decided to do as many S1 episodes as possible, maybe all of them, because they have such great visuals and it's an underrated season IMHO. I always feel a little torn about it - on the one hand, heartwarming because cute, cute adorable bitty Buffy, Willow and xander, before all the trauma and tragedy; on the other, heartbreaking because I know what's to come.

I knew you'd like the soft, light ones. There are always certain people I have in mind when I make my sets and you're one of them. :D
I was going to do a different character per icon for the Category set but - bitty Buffy. I got carried away (how could I not?)

In CAT5 she looks like the lovechild of Katniss and Cordelia though??

*squints* I think it's the flu talking. *lol* The image of her may be slightly distorted because the site I got my caps from (I think screen capped.net; definitely not Blood Queen for that one.)

But Angel and Giles would be interesting in a painful way.I almost ( ... )
