Because icon memes are fun

[yubsie]

1. Reply to this post, and I will pick six 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.



For thepodsquad



I love this icon a ridiculous amount. That would be Bill Adama from Battlestar Galactica. I play him in glaxcinprison, which is one of those fun multifandom RPs. He had a thread with Simon and River Tam (Firefly). After he introduced himself, River asked whether it was like a bill you pay or a duck bill. River then spent the next several comments contemplating whether Bill looked like a duck. In the end, she concluded that he was definitely not a duck. And I concluded that it needed to go on an icon. :p



This is Ianto from Torchwood. Ianto is wonderful. Ianto found Gwen a new dress when she woke up nine months pregnant on her wedding day. Ianto is magic. Ianto said that what he loves about his job is that by day you fight the worst scum of the universe and by night you're the wedding fairy. I love Ianto. I wanted Ianto to come plan my wedding for me. That was the only time Ianto disappointed me.



This would be the Fourth Doctor from Doctor Who. He said that and I knew I needed an icon. Because it is wonderful. I think Four is probably my favourite.



This is my parents' kitty Wes. Wes likes chaos. A lot. :p



This was made for me in one of those "Comment and I will make icons of your interests" memes. Because world domination is FUN!



It was bad enough in the dub that Darien was in high school while Serena was in middle school. In the original Japanese, Mamoru was in COLLEGE while Usagi is... still in junior high. And as Book informed us, there is a special Hell reserved for child molesters and people who talk in the theatre. Mamoru is going there. :p


And now for yacoba

One of her requests was for my Duck Bill Woo Oo! icon, so already explained. :p



Another one from one of those interests memes. The term procrastinatables originated between me and Tess, not surprisingly. It refers to shiny things for use in procrastination. :p



It's Luke and Leia having smoochy time. Daddy!Vader is DISTURBED. Understandably, really. :p



My glasses often cause interesting times in theatre. When my high school did Fiddler on the Roof, the teacher didn't really want any of us wearing glasses. However, since I have astigmatism, contacts weren't really an option. So I basically said that either I could wear my glasses or I could be Rahul the shoemaker's daughter who "Can hardly see, she's almost blind!" and considering that she's just a punchline, I didn't think that was necessary. So naturally when G&G did Wizard of Oz and the director said he'd rather not have glasses on the Winkies, we started making jokes about Rahul the nearsighted Winkie. Wouldn't you? :p



This was part of a set of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows reaction icons. It was actually taken from my post, where I said that the epilogue wasn't THAT bad, especially if you compare it to the Digimon 02 epilogue. In which there was a mullet and an unexplained astronaut. :p



Bip is quite possibly the greatest non-manga sound effect OF ALL TIME. Dream was whining about his emo life, because he is a TEXTBOOK whiny protaganist. Eventually Death got fed up and threw a loaf of bread at him and called him "The stupidest most self-centred appallingest EXCUSE for an anthropomorphic personification on THIS or any OTHER plane of existance. An infantile, ADOLESCENT specimen." The bread went "Bip!" when it hit him on the head. Whiny protaganists are MUCH less annoying when people BIP them. :p

Ooooh! A meme! ^__^

[yubsie]

Aren't memes FUN? :p

[superbus.livejournal.com]

Actually, it seems like I did this meme recently, so I'll answer here:

- I had done a review - for my OLD website - for a Big Bird game on the NES that was surprisingly quality. I liked the animation of Bert jumping rope when you won his game, so I asked someone to make an icon for it! Sadly, I don't think this one will be with us much longer... :'(

- I use this image for "feminine" issues, or sometimes, in an ironic sense. I figure not much is more feminine than Tenderheart Bear, so I asked zionga to make an icon. Thinking back, I think someone from My Little Pony or maybe Strawberry Shortcake would be a better choice; more the latter, because it seems the lesbian community has "claimed" Shortcake.

This is one of those those icons I use at times when something is funny, but self-depreciating; for that, I use the Duck Hunt Dog, who I hated SO FUCKING MUCH that I actually went and found a ROM of the arcade version of Duck Hunt SPECIFICALLY to shoot him (there's a bonus round, where you shoot things as they come out, but you're not supposed to shoot the dog. The lost score was worth it. Every point). It's a shitty icon - like almost any icon I made personally - but it does it's job.

- I'm sorry, I just find the idea of Jesus Christ bouncing up and down on a pogo stick while "Go Jesus! It's your birthday" is sung/rhymed to the tune of 50 Cent's "In 'Da Club", so I asked for an animated gif of Jesus bouncing up and down on a pogo stick with those words on it; two friends tried, and this one's the better one. I kept both for awhile to not insult the other person, but after she stabbed me in the back, I had no problem removing it.

- I got this icon from some website; it's the same site I got my "Genie GUH" icon, which is Genie's mouth dropping. Basically, I use this icon in a "women are goofy" sense.

- I initially stole this from svz_insanity, partly to make fun of her because she was having period-induced rage about something or another. Aren't I sensitive? :D I still use this icon in an ironic sense, and the keyword for the icon is "MASSIVE BLEEDING FROM-- Wait, Penises don't bleed! :D"

I think I'll get bipped for that. XD

[gabri-jade.livejournal.com]

I'll play. :D And I love that explanation about bipping. That quote is maybe the greatest thing EVER.

And I'm sorry that I always ask you things when I comment on your LJ, Yubs, but:

Ianto found Gwen a new dress when she woke up nine months pregnant on her wedding day.

She just woke up in that state? o.O

And did you want that red dino? He hatched, and while he still has a couple of days, I'm not fond of dinos and will probably release him if you don't want him, but he's yours if you do.

[yubsie]

Bipping is the greatest thing ever. :p

And yes, she just woke up in that state. There were aliens involved. :p

I'm all for a red dino!



And, because I'm sure the meaning can't be that you're a cylon...

[gabri-jade.livejournal.com]

That would be soooo disturbing, to wake up at nine months pregnant. Like, I might have nightmares about that. o.O But I have to admit that I am deeply admiring of anyone who could find a wedding dress so quickly under those circumstances. :D Also, I like Ianto's name. For no real reason. I just do. :p

Not a cylon as far as I know, but I make no guarantees. :D

[2raggedclaws.livejournal.com]

Ok, hit me.

[yubsie]

Whee! I'm, uh, noticing a bit of a theme to your icons. :p

[2raggedclaws.livejournal.com]

Erm, this first one isn't mine. Want to pick another one before I comment? And, yeah ... 30 spots only, so yes, a theme. It's probably not permanent.

[yubsie]

Oops, that was apparently copy/paste fail on my part. Apparently the last one from the post hung around the buffer, it should have been:

:p

[honu-girl.livejournal.com]

You have such great icons! Pick some of mine, and I'll pick some more of yours to create an unending circle of iconage!
