entirely ruined her disposition with books

Totally random icons. I really super hated the Queen's Gambit and Discotrek ones when I made them because they were so so so so so hard to color. But I'm feeling a bit better about them now.

01-15. The Queen's Gambit (Beth)
16-25. Star Trek Discovery (S3 Michael)
26-27. Fiddler on the Roof (the sisters)
28-36. It's Okay Not to Be Okay
37-45. Portrait of a Lady on Fire
46-48. Anya Taylor-Joy

1. Comment to this entry with something silly and I will pick 3 of your icons/userpics.
2. Make an entry in your own journal (or just reply if you prefer) and talk about the icons I picked!

Mine were chosen by thisbluespirit:



I made this one! I wanted an Evie icon that showed her working in the library (there are lots of her reading, but not so many of her working in the library) so that I could use it for anything related to my own library career. I'm still not 100% convinced that the text placement works, but I have such a hard time with text in icons! They're so tiny! You don't want to cover things up! Also so many of my favorite fonts look so bad in tiny form!




Isn't this beautiful? Obviously I needed an icon of The Hour since it's top-five favorite show material. I could have gone with Bel or Freddy because I love them as much as Lix, but this particular shot of her with the film is just so great.




Another one I made! I wanted a cat icon! But it's so hard to pick between the billions of cute cat pictures online. As one of my major icon-collection themes is books, I liked this particular stock picture for combining the kitten and books. I played a lot with the coloring on this one, and I'm pretty happy with how it turned out. I like vivid colors, in case you can't tell. Many people prefer icons that are more muted, but give me vividness or give me death!

You don't have to say something silly--just let me know if you want me to pick you some icons!

It's an absolutely gorgeous day outside (warm! actually actively warm!) and I got a good walk. Here are some icons, and now I need to go work on coursework.

1-44. Little Women (1994)
45. Northanger Abbey (2007)
46-63. Picnic at Hanging Rock (2018)
64-78. Picnic at Hanging Rock (1975)
79-98. A Room with a View (1985)
99. To Walk Invisible

Did I waste my entire day scouring the internet for any Emma (2020) images I could find and then downloading a ton of Emma (2009) screencaps and making icons? Of course I did. Hopefully now that I've got this out of my system, I will be able to concentrate tomorrow on coursework. At least until the Emma (2020) DVD comes out and I have to make a zillion more icons with better images.

1-39. Emma (2020)
40-63. Emma (2009)

I thought I'd post them here in case anyone wants to use them. And if you're a mutual subscriber and you have any icons you want made, I will give it a try. I can't promise anything great--my skills are limited and SO much depends on the quality of the original picture. If it's a fandom I'm not familiar with, please provide some images you'd like to see in icon form. I also make no promises on return time.

THEY'VE FINALLY PUT THE ICONS IN THE DROP-DOWN ON NON-PAID ACCOUNTS IN ALPHABETICAL ORDER INSTEAD OF BY UPLOAD DATE. MY LIFE HAS JUST GOTTEN BETTER!

1. Reply to this post with "THE WEATHER'S DEFINITELY TURNED; I'VE ALWAYS LOVED THE AUTUMN," and I
will pick five of your icons.
2. Make a post (including the meme info) and talk about the icons I chose.
3. Other people can then comment to you and make their own posts.
4. This will create a never-ending cycle of icon glee.

Mine are from crackers4jenn.


Keywords: [btvs] yeah it hurts
Only scene I consistently watch in "Hell's Bells" because all the rest of them just make me too depressed/angry? YES INDEED. This scene is perfect. Mostly because it shows that Buffy and Spike can be gentle with each other when they need to be and also because BUFFY SMILES. Big, full smile. At Spike. Gah. I picked this icon in particular because I just love the cropping and what it says about these two--he's there, willing to follow her wherever. OH KIDS.



Keywords: [vm] be cool, sodapop
OMG BEST CROPPING. The way the icon doesn't seem to end when it's against a white background? So cool. And of course this scene is so great. It really establishes the sense of humor of the show (making fun of its own drama with the line about how Wallace feels like he's a scene from The Outsiders). And of course Wallace is the greatest BFF ever.



Keywords: [misc] lies i tell myself
Simon Amstell speaks to me on a spiritual level. This is a line from Grandma's House (said to himself while looking in the mirror) and it pretty much sums up what I have to tell myself before I leave the house every morning or before I interact with any other person. I was feeling particularly cynical the day I uploaded it, hence the keywords.



Keywords: [misc] joss is boss
I've actually been meaning to get rid of this one? It's a holdover from the days when I didn't question Joss Whedon so much. I still think the sentiment is a good one, even though I have LOADS of problems with his approach to gender and feminism. And it's red. I like red.



Keywords: [b] madonna
Lucrezia is the BEST EVER. I fell completely in love with her last season of The Borgias (COME BACK TO ME, SHOW!). I love this icon in particular not only because she looks so beautiful, but also because with the sun shining down and her looking so gentle and lovely, it creates a nice contrast for the steel she's discovering she has just beneath the surface. I love that tension between her really being young and pretty and (relatively) innocent and her figuring out that she has power. It's why I'm so invested in her story. Plus: pretty!
