1. Reply to this post with the word PIRATES (or NINJAS) and I will pick six of your icons.
2. Make a post (including this 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.
These are the icons![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
arabia n asked me about (she asked me about fifteen of my icons because.... I told her she could).
Because I needed a fail icon.
This is my default 'writing' icon. I love how classic it feels - writing long hand in a cafe with a cup of coffee holding down the pages. *sigh*
This icon got be into Legend of the Seeker. I am not exaggerating. Back when I was falling out of love with Naruto, I had the keywords 'fight like a girl' which I'd used a lot for various Sakura icons. I came across this, which as you can all see, is badass and feminine and contains epic hair. So I asked what show it was for and then watched the first episode to make sure that the character depicted was awesome enough for me to use an icon of her. (Guess what? She totally was.)
The keywords for this ('my body's saying 'let's go' - which are lyrics from 'Genie in a Bottle') was originall used for a Puck/Rachel icon, until I met Jesse and realized that I greatly, greatly preferred him to Puck in the role of 'Rachel's love interest. I really like the unique cropping in this and how it's one of the icons were Jesse seemed really, really into Rachel, which is how I like that relationship.
Oh, Katherine, Katherine, Katherine. She and her unrepentant evil (please stay unrepentant!) is one of the things that elevate TVD from 'boilerplate vampire show' to 'fantastic vampire show.' I really like her smile and the cropping but I do wish this icon were less pale.
Because 9/Rose will never stop being epic.
This was the first TVD icon I uploaded. I love how shadowed Damon's face is, the blood on his lips, and how he almost looks remorseful. It really sums up his character for me, both as a type and in specifics.
You know how some characters have a ton of great icons for them? Or the perfect icon falls into your lap? Not so, for Adelle deWitt. I searched for a good icon for her, and finally found this excellent one. It's from the first episode of Dollhouse that really hooked me, and I love how tall and proud Adelle is standing, and how we can admire her excellent pencil skirt.
In which Elena has a headache and Damon is concerned. I like how the iconmaker reversed the heights there faces were in the original clip, and has them facing a different direction. Another great example of an icon mirroring character arcs.
I wanted a Jessica icon that showed her yellow dress, but the coloring of this was too perfect not to use. I love how she's glowing and how innocent she looks. It's a nice glimpse of early baby!vamp Jessica.
Interesting cropping + unique coloring + Ian Somerland = icon that will be uploaded. I'm not a big fan of green, but even so...
I needed a girl with a gun icon, and who better than Dani Reese, with looking professional and cool as a cucumber.
Parker is my favorite character on Leverage and I like how this is clearly a thief in the middle of thieving. Her body language just says it all - how good she is, the danger she's in, etc. Plus, the long shot of the floor really gives a sense of her isolation.
I uploaded this icon because it was pretty and I needed more Firefly icons.
All the Jeff/Annie scenes of Debate 109 are excessively iconned (understandably). I picked this one because I really liked this moment (spoilers! it's right when Annie kisses Jeff and right before Jeff drops a paraplegic on the floor to devote his full attention to kissing Annie) and I think you can see the impromptu nature of the kiss in how Jeff's neck is angled. While 'man is evil' is a more striking text, I think 'off book' fit into the image better.

You can't be surprised about that, can you?
