pensnest | That icon meme again

It's going around, so if you'd like me to pick three of your icons and ask you to comment on them, please comment with YES PLEASE! and I will do so.

If you'd like to ask about any of my icons, please do.

dine asked about these three.

Snoopy has no words, made by

sallymn
This I acquired as a 'frustrated by not writing' icon. I don't think I've used it, certainly haven't used it very often, although I am currently quite a lot frustrated by my inability to put words in order for fic.

Lady with Irresistible eyelashes made by tmg_icons
It's just so cute! The way she bats her eyelashes just makes me happy. And I use it to reply to posts/comments with Disney icons, if I can. (Or sometimes I use the hippo.)

Rome Modern Major General, made by me
Ah! Well, after watching Rome I really had to make some icons. I made a huge batch ! The visuals are so pretty. Quite a lot of them were 'straight' and/or serious, but I did a few humorous ones, and I just loved the idea of putting a bit of G&S into Marc Antony's mouth. It seems to capture his inflated self-esteem rather well. In fact, pretty much all the Rome icons that I kept for myself are ones with a modern caption. Except for Rome Cock! which is actually a quote from the show and goes with the screencap I used.

Hah! I pressed Random icon once, truly I did!

Okay, these three, please.

vae

Yes please!

also I adore your Marc Antony icon, it's wonderful!

Thank you - I rather love my Mark Antony icon, too.

ephemera

Yes, please!

This is a wonderfully aggressive hug - so is there a story?

Tell me about it!

luscious - tell me more!

Also, this one

is surpassing pretty. No need to say anything, I just felt compelled to mention it.
Edit: I have no idea why that one is not appearing, the code is the same as the others. Sigh.

YES PLEASE!

And I would love to know more about these:

Right! Let me nominate these:

I am very intrigued by your keywords, for so many of your icons!

As for mine, above:

Joey Love In my mind, this is connected with a little Joey snippet that I think I must have written at about the same time that I made the icon. It's a ficlet about the first time he met Briahna, possibly written for fic_requests, I can't remember. It's on this page, if you're interested, titled Never Before.

The second was Socks, our first cat. She's on the back of the sofa, reclining upon a Kaffe Fassett shawl I knitted ages ago (I wonder what happened to it?) and in front of the set of Encyclopaedia Britannicas that we bought in the mid-1980s. I remember my Beast and his dad putting up that set of shelves. I remember thinking that if the house was bombed, that set of shelves would remain on the wall. Anyway, I liked the pic of Socks, and it's nice to have the memory of her again sometimes. Plus 'cat with encyclopaedia' seemed like a great caption!

Ah! Now, this third one is Spangles, pretty much. When I wrote an MTYG story for

nopseud in 2014 it featured a slash fairy godpiglet, who at one point wears sunglasses. To be fair, I imagined the sunglasses rather smaller, but even on the internet there is a limit to the number of photos of cute teacup piglets in sunglasses. Anyway, when I came upon this image, I had to icon it. I have less occasion to use it than I had hoped.

Here!

I love Joey's smile there. And aw, that's a lovely ficlet! Superman for real! *hearteyes*

Socks is a beauty. And I really like how the horizontal regions of the image play against the vertical lines of the encyclopedias and the diagonals of the throw.

And the piglet is a delight!
