icon meme!

liseuse and thingswithwings gave me some icons to talk about.

(Cameron from Sarah Connor Chronicles repairing her arm with a screwdriver.)

SCC is one of my very favourite TV shows ever, and Cameron's a big part of why. She's a robot with no desire to become human or do anything apart from being absolutely perfect at what she was built for. Except she isn't that either, she's been reprogrammed a few times and she's faulty and sometimes there's a chance she might decide to kill you. And she's played by Summer Glau. <3 I really like this icon because of the cropping and because it's from one of my favourite of her arcs, where she's trying to repair herself so that she can hold a bird without crushing it by mistake.

This is one of my favourites of the many gorgeous icons eruthros has made for kink_bingo over the years. I really like that you can only see their hands and the way they almost not quite touch.

Sometimes you need a snarky icon or two, you know? One of my favourite River Tam quotes from Firefly.

(Toph from Avatar sitting with a bowl, with her dirty feet propped up on the table.)

One of the many glorious icons glass_icarus made for me in the white_lotus exchange earlier this year. It's so quintessentially Toph - she's relaxed, she doesn't give a crap about what anyone thinks, and also she has awesome feet.

(Abed from Community in a Batman costume, captioned 'BATMAN')

How I love Abed, let me count the ways! Particularly that time he dressed up as Batman, that was fairly amazing. Abed's one of my favourite geek fictional characters because he is simultaneously very sincere about it all and takes it very seriously, whilst also clearly enjoying himself.

Bonus video: a series of outtakes from the episode where Abed is Batman. SO GREAT. (youtube link)

(Roslin from BSG with her eyes closed)

Oh, LAURA. I loved her so much, probably my favourite BSG characters. She was just glorious. I can't quite remember the context of this shot - I think it's from the miniseries, maybe towards the end during Adama's speech? But I love the way she looks like she's centring herself for the next battle, and by god she's going to win. Sigh. She'll always be my president.

(Martha all lit up and pretty from 3x06)

eeee, Martha Jones! There are not words for how much I adore her. The Lazarus Experiment is not one of the best episodes of S3, I don't think, but Martha is completely sensational in it and also she's in evening wear the whole time. It's a definite draw. This icon really shows off just how stunning she looks throughout the episodes. Matched only by her rocking the combat gear at the end of the season, because wow.

(A shot from underneath of a puddlejumper from SGA flying through the sky.)

All of newkidfan's icons are completely gorgeous, and I love this one. The colouring and textures are really beautiful. It's also a very handy generic Stargate icon, for when I was more active in the fandom.

(Gwen and Morgana sharing a glance, captioned "wenches before brethren")

Well, the joke makes me laugh for a start, and also, yeah. It kind of sums up a lot of my feelings about Merlin, both the show and the fandom. Oh, girls, you really deserve a better show.


made by calapine

(Seven of Nine from Star Trek Voyager)

Seven! My very first fictional robot girlfriend. <3333 I love the look on her face here combined with the fact she's holding a phaser, like she's way above this bullshit but will wade in if she has to. I also really dig all of calapine's icons, and the colouring here is lovely.

Let me know if you'd like me to pick some of your icons!

YAY! I admit I mostly just picked icons of gorgeous ladies, because you had SO MANY ICONS of gorgeous ladies, and, um. :D But that was cool!

Also, I feel it's important to note that I have seen that particular set of Community outtakes approx. a billion times, but was happy to pop on my headphones and watch them once more just now, since you embedded them and all. TROY AND ABED.

I feel I've amassed a good collection, yes! It's important to have the right gorgeous lady icon for every occasion. :D

AND I KNOW RIGHT. omg it's so good. The tiny vampire exchange especially is my faaaavourite.

[thingswithwings]

tiny vampire! :D :D :D I'm actually really proud of Danny Pudi for his Wonder Woman/chastity belt line, mostly because the poor guy, while gifted at comedy, is always playing off of Donald Glover, who's a ridiculous genius. So usually he's just reacting to the improv scene, and in that one he gets off a great line of his own.

HI I'VE WATCHED THE OUTTAKES AND SHOW A LOT OF TIMES

[such_heights]

heeee, yes! They're both so awesome.
