1. Reply to this post with "Pluto Planet Power", 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.

I'm Ghost
Around this time about two years ago, Bodyline released a bunch of little one dollar pins. This was by far the most memorable of them, with it's wonderful engrish slogan and weirdly shaped ghost thing. I never got one of them myself, but the ghosty spirit can live on in my icon. I've always found something rather endearing about the little thing. It looks friendly and accepting of its ghostness, at least.
Sailor Mercury
Mercury was always my favorite as a kid, as the quiet bookworm with largely defensive powers. And "Sine Aqua Illusion" was the first attack she got that had the serious possibility to really lay the smack down on some monsters. (Though "Mercury Aqua Rhapsody" was nothing to sneeze at, either.) I really love this icon, it's one of my favorites in my current Sailormoon set.
CHotSUAttMoT
...Which stands for "The Complete History of the Soviet Union Arranged to the Melody of Tetris." (There's also a pony version now.) "I am the man who arranges the blocks that are made the men in Kazakhstan." A very silly little video detailing the history of Russia in the 20th century using a Tetris game as a analogy for "the more things change, the more they stay the same." I'm not even sure what the exact uses for this icon are, but I couldn't pass up making an icon of the Tetris blocks falling from the sky.
Mob of Russian peasants
Another icon from "The Complete History of the Soviet Union." "But the workers will rise! We will not compromise!" This one I actually do use, because what can be angrier than a mob of repressed Russian peasants? (Also, Russian peasants are just awesome.) It's another rather silly icon. I rather like the sledgehammers.
Sense
Ok, so I played Castlevania: Symphony of the Night for the very first time about a year ago, as one of my favorite LPers played it and that's sort of my method of discovering which great games I missed growing up. Now, for those unfamiliar with the game there is a courtyard featuring some candles floating in mid-air, which I guess is to add atmosphere but the first time I saw it it struck me as really strange to have candles floating in mid air. They're not even near the ground where people would be, they're about 15 feet up in the air. So this was weird but the not the weirdest thing in the game thus far, so I keep playing and get to the same area in the upside-down castle (which is the game's idea of a second quest, but it's literally just the first castle flipped upside down with no scenery changes whatsoever and harder enemies.). In the second castle I get to the courtyard yet again and the candles are still there. Except they're now burning upside-down. And it now makes even less sense. So I took a screenshot and made this icon.
