That icon meme again

[pensnest]

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!

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!
