Icon Meme

Comment on this post. I will choose seven userpics from your profile and you will explain what they mean and why you are using them. Post this along with your answers in your own journal so others can play along.

threerings chose seven of my icons.

1.

This is a reference to a Discworld book, Night Watch. It was made by most_suspicious. If you haven't read the book, I would highly recommend it (I'd recommend the whole Discworld series, actually -- it has several subseries (each with a different vibe) plus some standalones, so there's something for everyone). Anyway, it's a reference to a revolutionary-type thing that happens in the book.

2.

This icon was born because people were dissing on Smallville's Lois Lane, calling her a bimbo and implying that because she has nice breasts, she has no brains. This was irritating to many people, so clari_clyde made icons.

3.

An icon that I made for myself back during my Star Wars period. It's my general icon for Imperial-period SW or for het-related incesty vibes. Plus, I think it's pretty.

4.

A Doctor Who icon by nicole9514 that I picked up because I wanted an icon that had Rose with both versions of her Doctor. Mostly, I think it's all kinds of adorable and use it when I'm talking about the adorableness of D/R or I'm feeling giggly and close to someone on my flist.

5.

Created by xanphibian and picked up when I went looking for Heroes icons. I really wanted to grab a Claire/Peter icon and I adored the way this one looks -- the line between them and how they're looking at each other through it, because they do have this connection (it's biological. *giggles*). I came into the show knowing that Claire and Peter were related and also knowing that many people shipped them before their family connection was known (and many of those people continued to ship them). Their relationship struck me as very 'white knight' and shippy, even knowing the family connection and I've spent most of their screentime being highly amused (and making reference to what Peter says about his relationship with Nathan in the pilot -- they have a connection. it's biological. Because it truly cracks me up).

6.

A Doctor Who icon created by ivydoor. Because the fifth doctor is made of awesome. Also used when I'm making a point that I'm particularly pleased with or if I'm talking about Old School Doctor Who and my Susan & First Doctor icon isn't appropriate.

7.

I made this icon after watching the movie Maurice and reading up on the author of the original book and seeing what else he'd written. I use this when I'm reaching out to someone or trying to find common ground with them or I'm sharing something personal but not painful enough for my 'scars' icon.
