icon meme!
1. Reply to this post, 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 glee.


[info]laylah picked mine.

Keywords: "xkcd - rule social.b.99.1"
An xkcd icon! I made a bunch of these at some point. I don't use them nearly enough. xkcd is in general hard to translate to icons because of the amount of text involved. I still really want an icon of this one for whatever reason, but I can't get the last two panels to translate to icon format.

I use this icon exceedingly rarely, because while I spend a lot of time debating what to do with friends, I rarely feel outgoing enough to say "well we could default to sexual experimentation," even jokingly. >_>


Keywords: "chane - koe" (Comment: "with bonus pretentious Japanese")
This is one of the few icons I have made for myself that I actually think is pretty. Unfortunately it also contains random pretentious Japanese so I rarely use it. >_>

The Japanese reads "koe ga kikoeru" or "[I] hear a voice," which is appropriate enough for Chane. I blame the Saiyuki anime for the fact that I like the way that phrase sounds a lot.


Keywords: "I am sure this symbolizes... something"
Ha ha I love this icon. A grenade and a feather/quill! Probably it's supposed to be... a more extreme form of "the pen is mightier than the sword" I guess? But mostly I use this icon for... symbolism taken beyond reasonable limits? Like... on the creation side throwing in random imagery to be ~symbolic~ and ~deep~, on the analysis side moving far into the "making shit up" arena.

Of course it is an icon, so usually I am using it to make fun of myself for these things. Occasionally I will also use it on posts if I can't come up with an appropriate icon to use, because clearly it is symbolic of something deep and meaningful relating to the content of the post. I like self-mockery, you guys.


Keywords: "chainsaw"
Giriko is so hot.

...do I have to say something other than that? Okayfine. This is one of my newest icons, picked up a few days ago when I was looking for new Soul Eater icons. Giriko is a crazy evil golem-engineer chainsaw who fights by himself without a wielder. He shows up at the beginning of the second big arc, just when you thought Soul Eater couldn't get much cooler. (Arachne also falls into this category.)


Keywords: "hakuryu"
So like four years ago when I was first on LJ I was into Saiyuki! And I made some really terrible icons, nearly all of which didn't survive the journal moves/hard drive crashes between then and now. I think I also had a terribly colored version of this icon, or possibly just a version with colored text on it, that I ended up dropping for the plain manga version.

Somehow I kept this one icon around. It is Hakuryu/Jeep, their tiny dragon that transforms into a jeep, and he's really cute. :< ...However, I do not think in those four years I have ever actually used this icon.

...oh wow, yeah, that "kayak" strip is awesome. I. I sort of love his optimistic strips. They're just sort of...breathlessly hopeful. :3

and yeah. unf unf Giriko. ♥ he needs to do more stuff.

a-also you sort of can't get rid of that icon, can you? even if you don't use it. he'd make tiny sad dragon face! :<

Yeah. The-world-is-so-cool comics are really great, and I love that one in particular. Possibly an animated icon would be the solution, but I don't know how to make those. ^^;

and yes, yes he does. Probably he will, too, as they've... deferred actual conflict with him to the future? ^^; Hopefully he'll fight Justin some more. :3 *is easy*

tiny sad dragon face noooo

Oh oh ! I want to play!

I seriously need to get caught up with Soul Eater sometime. I'm on like chapter 15 or something in the manga (still haven't watched the anime and likely won't anytime soon).

:D

Soul Eater is pretty damn cool. The stuff starting around chapter 15 is particularly awesome, I think. But it's all awesome. (...As long as you're not watching the anime past 40 or so, so you should be good there.)
