(no subject)
Icon meme, because I obviously haven't slacked enough on the pile of stupid school crap I've yet to do.
Default icon:
- A good summary of a large portion of my content, I feel.
Oldest Icon:
- The first one is the icon I've had the longest (keyword: pacifist, because it amuses me), which I don't use much anymore but used to use for SG-1 related snark, and the second one is probably the one made the longest time ago, which I also don't use much, but come on! Mr. T!
Newest Icon:
- As God is my witness, I will find some way to use this in a sarcastic 'shipping-related post. The only question is: which fandom?
Happiest Icon:
- I just can't decide.
Saddest Icon:
- I don't really have any entirely sad icons, because my strategy for coping with sadness is now mostly "lalalala I don't have to think about this la!" But it's pretty difficult to make a Sirius/Remus icon all that happy.
Angriest Icon:
- The former is the one I'd use for generic anger, while the latter is for my endlessly resentful political commentary. (The woman in the icon is Paris Hilton, which I'm not sure is as clear as I'd like, but searching for pictures of her was kinda painful.)
Cutest Icon:
- Another one that's kind of a tie.
Sexiest Icon:
- Bobby/Darien and Laura/Lee icons that I need to find more occasions to use.
Funniest icon: Um, hell. This one's *hard.*
- The first one for funniest image, and the second for funniest text (you've just got to love 'Prince of Space').
Favorite 'ship icon:
- Largely because it's just the one I find *prettiest.* I'm not sure I could duplicate that effect if I really tried. The comic book-style J/D one's a close second.
Favorite quote icon:
- ...well, half of it's a real quote! And the second bubble's just the natural reaction to the quote, so I'm sure it counts.
Favorite textless icon:
- It sums up the essence of Gaz and of a good part of my personality pretty efficiently.
Favorite over-all icon:
- This is a mean question, and I'll probably change my mind in about 5 minutes, but it's got the pretty and the character love and the adored song lyric, and I'm just in a BSG mood this week anyway.
How many icons do you have total? 81
If you could buy space for more, would you? Almost definitely, even though lord knows I don't really need them.
Do your icons make a statement about you? Yeah, probably. That statement would be something like "nerdy media whore with a weird sense of humor and an embarrassing tendency to having a 'ship in everything," though I'm at least willing to mock myself about the latter, I guess.
What fandom do you have the most icons of? SG-1, by a pretty large margin.
The second most? If you count random references in keywords, probably Simpsons.
What 'ship do you have the most icons of? Jack/Daniel, of which I have four direct ones, another one with a reference, yet another that's really Jack/Sam with Sam taking on Daniel's appearance, and an OT3 one that includes them. *shame* Laura/Lee, Sam/Teal'c and Sam/Daniel are all tied at two.
Are your icons mostly made by other users? Nope, currently just 4 are.
Do you make icons? Quite excessively so. I just consider it a good excuse to stare at pretty pictures for a while, really.
Are they any good? I suppose so? In a month or two I'll probably think the ones I made recently are hideous, though, 'cause that tends to be the pattern.
Animated icons? I have 3 right now, all but one of which were made by others. I like them so long as they're not too distracting or difficult to make out, so motion at about the regular video frame rate and well-timed text icons are about all I'm interested in.
Also, if you're a fan of the sci-fi cheese like I am, I definitely recommend catching episodes of the '70s Battlestar Galactica series during the day on the Sci-Fi channel. Most of the time it's merely meh-inducing, but that frigging robot bear or whatever it is makes for the WTF, as do some of the plots. Yesterday's episode included an episode where the crew on a random planet came across a wrecked ship with a single survivor, and it turned out that man was...dun dun DUN...Satan in disguise! No, literally. He was being pursued by angels, who were in *spaceships.* It was entirely excellent. Apollo managed to get in a very unlikely-seeming speech about the guy being the Prince of Lies!, which besides being pretty OTT, kind of makes my head hurt trying to figure out how a guy whose people worship the Greco-Roman pantheon could possibly have figured that out. Of course, this was a show that had its Baltar dressed in green velvet pantaloons, so it's probably got to be one of those things I should try not to think about.
