Icon meme

[jejo763]

Comment on this post with "ICON ME." I will choose 5 of your icons. Repost the icons to your journal with an explanation of what these icons mean to you.

So, jovialien was kind enough to pick five of my icons. I shall try to explain to you all why I like these...





This first one is made by cowboyhd and I absolutely LOVE IT! I stumbled upon it some time ago when I was looking more icons and fell in love. I think it's bloody marvelous! I think everyone should have an icon of mainframe humping!Ianto. This one always cheers me up and I giggle hysterically everytime I use it.



This icon (which is made by graphicalrum, btw) is based on the utterly hilarious Skippy’s List: The 213 things Skippy is no longer allowed to do in the U.S. Army. I thought it was amazing that someone had the patience or imagination of making these HP famdom based so of course I had to choose some of them for myself. And yeah, there have been occasions where this icon has been more than appropriate. Good times.



This one was one of my first TW related icons. I still like this one very much (made by saatistry). It's such a beautiful pic. Yeah, can't say much more about this other than I utterly adore it.



When I was a newbie in LJ I didn't know where you could get those amazing icons that you could see others using, so I made the first ten or so icons myself. This is one of those. And it really shows. I used this (and still use, but less so) when I was confused and my feelings were all over the place. I think it portrays that pretty well. Hmmm, I should actually use this one more...



Okay, so there is this little geek inside me trying to hide from the world as I'm not smart enough to be called geek/nerd. That is probably one of the reason why I love The Big Bang Theory so much. Because I can relate to the characters. I love Sheldon (whose quote this is), but my favourite has to be Raj. I just want to squeeze him and love him and... You get the point. I can't convey how much I love that show and I can't believe I don't have more TBBT icons. Off to search more. Oh, and the icon is by virtuosities.

Oh, this meme is lovely. You have such great explanations... I won't, but nonetheless:

ICON ME

Plz thanks. :)

[jejo763]

Thanks!

Okay, here you go:

ICON ME?

Your explanations are really cool, and I'm stealing mainframe!humping Ianto...

[jejo763]

Thanks! And oh god! Just five? You have like millions of icons... And steal away. *grin*

Okay, here we go:

oooooh...okay:

1) is Simon Amstell, during his brief stint of hosting a British panel show called Never Mind The Buzzcocks. The show is hilarious and I've got HEAPS of quote icons from it, and really, I couldn't pass up this one of Simon in a bunny suit. I just love the look on his face! It's by nomorewolfie

2) GUH. Captain John Hart, forced onto his knees. I loved his character on Torchwood, he was such a nasty, cheeky, violent, sexy beast! I've forgotten who made it, but I'm sure it's in the comment on my icons page.

3) I made this one with the LJ icon creator, because I couldn't find a Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy icon with this quote on it. I keep meaning to put it into a graphics editor and neaten it up, but I've never quite got around to it.

4) Ah, Noel Fielding, of the Mighty Boosh fame (although he was also a team captain on Never Mind The Buzzcocks for a while). I have no words for how much I adore Noel, and I think I made this icon with astarloa in mind (I eventually custonised it for her, but I kept the blank, obviously).

5) I made this one as well :) - this one is based on a quote from The Big Bang Theory, adapted because I have a peculiar fondness for 'this icon...' icons (I think I've got two others, one quoted Dr Who and the other, one of mine again, quoting the Violent Femmes).

Thanks for letting me play! \o/

I so love that quote from TBBT. I have few icons myself from that show. It's amazing how many one-liners they can produce per episode...

And I really had troubles choosing just five. Fifty would have been more realistic, because now I had to leave out all of the THard icons... A great pity!

LOL!

My explanations for the Tom Hardy icons would have much less interesting, let alone coherent. And this whole thing has reminded me that I have icon spaces free! MUST FIX THIS!

Edited because I just cannot type today, it seems.

I love this one! I've already posted this to my LJ somewhat recently so "icon me!" and I'll respond here if that's ok =)

[jejo763]

Sure, that's okay. I'm always interested in why people choose certain icons and use them.

Here are yours:

[kilodalton]

I like this one because I have a love/hate relationship with Ten. He was awesome - and I think David Tennant is one of the most talented actors around - but OMG he was such an arrogant, hypocritical schmuck at times.


Cuddly knit baby!Daleks. As soon as I saw this icon, I couldn't resist it. I don't use it that often, but it's cute!


This was part of a Gwen Cooper set I did for doctorwho20in20. I was really new to making icons at the time, so I don't like how most of the set turned out, but I really liked this one.


I have really few Mickey icons, and I just thought this one was funny. I've never used it though =X


This is the very first Eleven icon I had. I didn't make it, but I like how sweet and genuine his smile looks here.

[jejo763]

I agree about Ten and am so jealous of your Dalek icon and would probably steal it, but I think I wouldn't have much use for it. It's still awesome, though.
