Icon mememememe!

[byslantedlight]

From jojosimco...

Audience participation is optional but the mememememe is as follows:

1. Reply to this post saying "ME! ME! ME!", 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 squee.

She chose these five of my icons...

And I'm leaving them as a strip because they're so pretty... I like my icons... *g*

The first one is one I don't use nearly often enough, and do I do rather love it - it's Don DeMarco, from Ladder of Swords, playing the fiddle at dusk, and there are four of my favourite things, right there... I adore that time of day, when the stars are just coming out, and everything is magical - or perhaps because it could be magical, it's a time in between the world of day and the world of night, where everything might become possible... And Don DeMarco is my second-favourite MS character - I love that he's so real and unheroic, which is what makes him utterly a hero... And hee - I even made that icon myself... *g*

The second one was made by our empty_mirrors, and is just Doyle looking ve-ery pretty... Something about his eyes, and the light and the shadows made me think straight away of all the references to Doyle as looking like a "fallen angel", so that's what I call this one in my userpics! It's from Wild Justice, of course, when the lads are doing Kate Ross' tests on "Herbie", so I use it as my computer-y icon, pretty much as a good excuse to use it... Though I really shouldn't need one... *g*

The third icon... I like the light on it, and I like Doyle being think-y, and the idea of Doyle in bed (cos Bodie's clearly just out of shot on the other side, so it's a lovely plot-bunny icon too... *g* I picked it up from a post on the_safehouse, from before I was in Pros, made by imbeiaiel...

The fourth icon is of course from my wee holiday to Torchwood. I found it in my random search for TW icons, made by fivealive, and I adore the colours and dusty tones of it - they're bright but also mutedAnd of course I also love the idea of Jack falling asleep on Ianto like that, although of course this was from a photo taken of JB and GDL at a con, so it's just got a whole added dimension to it right there... *g*

And finally - the fifth icon, which is one of my oldest ones, made by enednoviel long ago when she was in Pros, and adapted by hambelandjemima into my snowy icon. Again it's the colours I love, and the light - and of course that the lads are looking at the same thing, totally in accord, working together... The light on it reminds me of my favourite days, when I first got to England - that misty autumn/winter light, that sort of softens the whole country, and seems... gentle, somehow. And I most associate that with getting the ferry from IOM to Heysham when I was a student, which was escape - so again, it's all about the promise of wonderful things to come - possibilities and the magic of one day...

don't worry, I'm not mememememeing you back again :) Just to say that I enjoyed choosing your icons because ... pretty! That first one I don't remember you using at all, but I really love it even though I don't know the character. It's because I *know* it's MS of course, and I love the sillhouette/music image. Notice I chose all moooody icons. Hmmm *g*

[byslantedlight.livejournal.com]

I love the moody icons you chose - you have such good taste... *g*

And you've not seen Ladder of Swords?! We must remedy that immeeeeejitly! There shall be a sending of dvds (unless you've already got it, but just haven't bothered... *g*)

Plus also, you could mememememememe me back again, and then I could ask you to talk about these five icons... you know, if you wanna... *g*



Just sayin'... *g*

Wasn't going to do this meme because I have a meagre 35 icons, although that's going to change when I renew my account. *eg*

But if you'd care to choose 5 of my small collection, that will give me something Pros-y to past about!

[byslantedlight.livejournal.com]

Yeay! *runs to do*

*g*

[byslantedlight.livejournal.com]

Okay, how about these ones?

[ailcia.livejournal.com]

I LOVE that fallen angel icon, I think it's just gorgeous. And imbeiaiel is on my flist and has been for years: a very classy lady who knows her slash! :D

If you'd like to aid me in today's procrastination, that'd be alright... :P

[byslantedlight.livejournal.com]

Fallen Angel face Doyle is gorgeous, innit! And yeay imbeiaiel - she did lovely Pros icons!

Yeay! Will you talk about these ones, please? (And I know I'm possibly cheating by having a Pros one at each end, but I want to hear you talk about Pros especially! *g*)



Yeeay procrastination! (But only because I know you're working really heard reeeeeeeeally... And wearing a warm vest and carrying a woolly hanky. Or summat. *g*)

[ailcia.livejournal.com]

I will indeed! Good bunch of choices, there! Thanks, love!

I am working stupendously hard, I really am. You should see the pile of books I have beside me: I reckon the tower will soon falter and collapse all over me. And I'm actually wearing TWO blankets at the minute because it is ONCE AGAIN snowing and freezing cold in Glasgow - students and pensioners are always the first ones to feel it and the last ones to warm up again! Why oh why did I move to this icy, icy city? :P

[byslantedlight.livejournal.com]

Awww - because it was either there or Somewhere Else, and that would have been total muck? Make sure you wrap up in a hot water bottle or ten though... It's just grey miserable misery here... wish it would snow and be freezing cold or summat.. or else rain proper rain... Or else show us some blue sky (bit like knickers, really... I was stopped by the police once for "showing a white light" cos one of my rear car lights had been broken - I didn't know that was such a very bad thing - I felt like I'd been flashing ankle or summat...)

Anyway, where was I? Yeay icons! Yeah disserations! Go Alice!

That was interesting! I have always loved your window/snowy window icon so it was nice to have you talking about it. You can pick five of mine - as long as you don't pick all five from my Pros ones!! ;)

[byslantedlight.livejournal.com]

It is absolutely cheating to ask me not to choose five Pros icons, but I shall humour you...



There - how about those, then!

[moth2fic.livejournal.com]

Thank you! One problem with my Pros icons is that they are mostly chosen in order to have different Pros icons and not for 'special' resaons other than the sort of comments where I use them, if that makes sense - but I shall try to talk about the ones you picked!! (And the others, of course).
