Pimping, icons

[brigdh]

You know, I was going to try to round up links to all the Saiyuki Week posts so far, but damn, there's a lot of them. I give up; you people are too talkative.

Instead, I point out that the new stagesoflove challenge has started! You've got till the end of the week to sign up. There's a lot of new variations on the challenge this round; I really like the Five Senses one.

Also, please join summerflinging. They need more people. Or summer_flinging, if you'd rather do a live-action fandom.

How about a meme, from shoriyu?

1. Which icon do you associate most with me?
2. Which icon is your favorite?
3. Which icon would you like to see me use more often?
4. One that you don't get/needs more explanation/you have no idea why the hell I have it.
5. Can you make two of my icons converse?
6. When you comment, use your favorite icon and tell me why you love it!

1. Hmm, you've taken down the Tsuzuki/Hisoka icon I associate most with you. In lieu of that:

3. Because it's been that sort of year:



4. ... your icons are pretty self-explanatory really.

5.



6. I love this icon because, well, it's sexy and beautiful and just this side of hopeful -- and says a lot without needing words.

I tend to feel bad about whining, Oh all these challenges look like so much fun -- I wish... But, no, I can't! I must resist! Because then I feel like some conflicted woman in a 19th-century melodrama, hiding my face in a handkerchief and throwing my arm out to push temptation away. And, really, who wants to feel like that? Plus, it's like I'm asking people to try and convince me but I'm not. I just feel like the kid who gets the flu on a snow day and has to sit there in front of a window, watching. Or some similar image of wistful, frustrated longing.

1) Man, it's hard to pick:

6) Because I relate so much, it's scary.

I love your icon, by the way!

...dude, awesome. And you found a bunch I hadn't seen!

[wordsofastory.livejournal.com]

Thank you! Now I'm all curious as to which Tsuzuki/Hisoka icon it was that you remembered.

I like that icon of yours, too. The colors are gorgeous.

Hee. I imagine 19th-century melodramas would be far more interesting if they did involve fanfic challenges. Instead of smelling salts and the threat of scandal, you could have wank and the threat of ending up on fandom wank, and flames written neatly on unique stationary and sent like visiting cards.

Anyway though, you still get to read all the stories written for the challenges! So it's not like you're left out completely.

You and Yasmin both picked my dancing icon! I hadn't realized I used it so much; I wonder why it seems so strongly associated with me.

I like that icon of yours, too. I always have to watch it a couple times to catch all the text.

:D I have a post where I ask people to drop me notes of ones I havne't got, so that's where a bunch of them came from. XD

Also! This one:

WTF?!

Thank you!

Hee. That's Aaron, from Shakespeare's Titus Adronicus, as seen in the movie version starring Anthony Hopkins from a few years ago. I didn't like a lot of the choices the director made, but I've loved the character of Aaron ever since I first read the play. He's just So. Evil. And a really intelligent, malicious, self-aware sort of evil that's terribly fun to watch.

Late in the play, he finds out that he has a kid, and betrays all the alliances he'd made so he can protect the child. He's still evil, but it's sort of sweet.
