Icon Squee Meme

[eliyes]

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 squee. Whoo!

I poked kiffie, and she put on her bitchinest hat and asked about these:



1. K'Ehleyr, smug
Icon by so_out_of_icons.

*dreamy sigh* Isn't she pretty?

I had actually forgotten that I had this icon listed under "smug". XD She does look a bit smug, but I never use it for that, really. Suzie Plaxton, who played the lovely (snarky, clever, passionate, wry) K'Ehleyr also played one of my fave TNG Vulcans, Dr. Selar, of whom I have no icons because her wig was kind of unfortunate, Lady Q on Voyager, and has apparently also played an Andorian in *gagspithiss*Enterprise.

Which is why I use this icon in a lot of my posts about Andorians, actually. But mostly I just use K'Ehleyr when I'm talking about TNG awesomeness, or wish to gaze upon her pretty face. ;3



2. Riker plays with dolls
Icon by stargater.

I found this scene hilarious, and it's really a great example of what made me come around to liking Will Riker: SILLINESS. I mean, he's holding a doll of his captain up to his mouth and wiggling it to make it "talk" as he imitates the man's voice and accent in reply to something Picard said. He also tried to leave the room with the doll. XD I really loved him in that moment, it's so playful!

This replaced a previous icon that declared that Jonathan Frakes (the actor who plays Riker) is secretly a muppet, because in retrospect, that's not actually a secret.

I primarily use this for posts/comments where I am being silly, playful, amused, or talking about toys.



3. into the fire
Icon by sirenicons. Birth of the pimpernel in the musical. "Never hold back your step for a moment!"

For those of you who don't know about the Scarlet Pimpernel musical, "Into the Fire" is the name of the song that the lyrics quoted in both the icon and my desc of it (reproduced above).

I love the Scarlet Pimpernel. I love that song.

This is my icon for being a hero, for being bold, for (mainly) talking about those things, and about Percy. :3



4. team shep, watching you
Icon by yo_nikolai.

I wanted an icon featuring Team Sheppard, because they're awesome, and I wanted an icon about how Rodney loves John, because he so does. This icon does double duty!



5. Boostle
Icon by amarin_rose. :D

The Blue & Gold team, and the first guys for whom I ever posted explicit sexin's on the interwebs! I nearly deleted this icon yesterday, actually -- I've just had it for so long, I kind of want to replace it with something a bit less grainy or something, but few of my other Booster & Beetle icons are this kind of happy.

I use this to talk about Booster Gold and Blue Beetle, apart or together. Lately mostly commenting on fanart of them, I notice.



So! Comment and I'll probably poke you for 5 of your icons! If you only have six icons, I will feel really mean about excluding one, but I'll do it anyway. MEEEEEAN!

LOL Riker. XD

K'Ehleyr! She's awesome. I really like Lady Q, too. Also, Enterprise!Andorians are cool.

LOL Riker indeed. XD

K'Ehleyr is so awesome that I can't figure out how her son came out so lame-o. *sigh*

....It occurs to me that I should have waited to se eif you replied to this instead of asking aobut that Spock & Data icon in another thread. Whups! XD

1. Cape
2. Commodore
3. Elizabeth
4. Lucy
5. Ten and Donna

You will notice that all of the icons I have selected her ehave something in common.

Would that something in common be that they all feature the back of someone's head? XD

*goes to make post*

Yes! Why are so many of your icons of people facing away? It runs counter to all of my theatre-programming!
