Motherfucker, do you have any idea how much fucking WORK it would be to move all of my literally thousands of icons to another site and then go back and update all the links on over 100 posts - to say nothing of the icons I posted to challenge comms, my picspams, the gifs I've used all over the internet, mood themes, my custom LJ layout, etc.?

I am not paying fucking $400/year just to save it, though, so brb, mourning all the fucking hours spent on graphics no one will ever see again.

Current Mood: irate

[phone rings; it's my mother]
Me: Hi.
Mom: Oh, hi. I didn't even hear the phone ring.
Me: That's because you called me.
Mom: I did?
Me: Yep.
Mom: I thought you texted me.
Me: I did.
Mom: I was trying to get back to that screen. I didn't mean to call you. WHOOPS.

Anyway, snagging a meme from

fluffyfrolicker and

rosaxx50 because I have been SERIOUSLY REMISS in my icon-making lately. Haha, remember how I used to participate in all these comms and challenges and then I just posted my FIRST ICON POST in like 4 months yesterday? Yeah, we should fix that.

So! Pick a number + fandom/character/ship, whichever suits your fancy ♥ and I will make icons. If you want to give me specific caps, that''s okay, too.

1. Faceless
2. Looking Down
3. Bruised & Battered
4. Up Close & Personal
5. Scenerygasm
6. Full Body Shots
7. Colors Abound
8. Silhouette
9. My Emotions
10. The Space
11. Light
12. Tickles My Pickle (whatever. who knows what might happen)

Current Mood: excited

...is now open for nominations. Just saying...

Current Mood: hopeful

Meme snagged from

rosaxx50:

Give me a top five topic that is fandom-related, personal, random, whatever, and I'll list my top 5 for whatever you listed in a new entry, and will explain my choices. Top five of right now or top five of all time! For example, top 5 books, top 5 otps, top 5 colors, anything!

On another subject, can anyone recommend good icon challenge comms, preferably here at DW? I made my first venture into competitive icon-making with

iconthat and I'm quite enjoying having specific icon goals.

Current Mood: working

1. Reply to this post with "DO NOT MOONWALK AWAY FROM ME!" and I will pick six 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.

Snagged from

maharet83: Pick one or more of my icons, and I will tell you three things I love about whoever or whatever is represented in them, or the icon itself. If you like, I'll do the same for you, although that's not required.

With all the icons I've been making, I figured it was time to make a resources post. This post will be updated as I gather more goodies.

On another post,

ruuger mentioned being unable to find old

bendybendy/

bendy1 icons now that those journals have been deleted. Being a Bendy fan myself, I happen to have a TON saved on my computer. I uploaded them to a photobucket album in case anyone else has a need for snarky and silly JM icons. I have some Torchwood, some text-only JM quotes, and a bunch of JM at cons and in other roles.

(Of course, if you use any of them, please credit her and not me!)

Because y'all know how much I luuuurve my icons! Snagged from

eilowyn:

Go to my icon page, pick out a couple icons you've never seen me use, that catch your eye, that remind you of me, that you demand an explanation for. Link 'em (right click+copy url), post 'em, and let me tell you all about 'em. It'll be fun! I promise!

Current Mood: lazy

Because I NEVER get tired of icon funtimes!

The what icon do you associate with me? meme!

1. Do not look at the comments.
2. Take a look at my userpics.
3. Post a comment with the icon of mine you associate with me. Leave commentary if desired.
4. Repost with your default icon and profit.

IF YOU COULD BUY SPACE FOR MORE, WOULD YOU: Probably, lol. My thirst for icons is insatiable.
DO YOUR ICONS MAKE A STATEMENT: Um, that I am obsessed with icons?
WHAT FANDOM DO YOU HAVE THE MOST ICONS OF: BtVS/AtS, which I couldn't really separate because I'm not entirely sure which icons came from which show, lol.
AND THE SECOND MOST: Veronica Mars.
WHAT SHIP DO YOU HAVE THE MOST ICONS OF: Weirdly, Spike/Dawn.
ARE YOUR ICONS MADE MOSTLY BY OTHER PEOPLE: All of them.
DO YOU MAKE ICONS: I am quoting

penny_lane_42: The day I learn to make icons is the day I never get anything accomplished ever again.
ARE THEY ANY GOOD: Oh, I doubt it.
ANIMATED ICONS ARE: Sometimes fun.

DO THE MEME.

I'm sure probably everyone has seen it by now, but I wanted to put in a plug for

deird1's vid The Dance. Quite possibly one of the best visual summaries of the show ever.

Also, a random observation: I have 430 icons saved on my computer. Of those, 73 are angry/annoyed/sad/WTF or otherwise negative icons. In comparison, 44 are happy/smiley/positive icons. What does this say about me?

Current Mood: contemplative

I'm insatiable, people. I swear, I'm going to end up buying another icon package before the year is out.

Anyway, I've been going over my epic icon collection, and I've decided I need the following:

1. a *facepalm* or "oops" or some other icon to indicate embarrassment
2. Spike on his laptop with a caption that says "reading Spuffy porn"

Anyone who can point me in the direction of such icons gets a cookie!

(Also, have been working on something EPIC with Emmie today. Should be posted tomorrow.)

Current Mood: tired

I mean, sure, I have the "whatever" and the "don't care" and Toby looking apathetic, but expressing myself through teeny pictures is a delicate art, and specificity is important. Can't just be throwing icons out there willy-nilly, right? So if you have any good "meh" icons, point me toward 'em - any of my many fandoms will do.

ETA: I HAZ ONE!!!!

So why the need for "meh"? Well, I've been watching more movies! This batch is better than the last one, but still nothing that wowed me.
