dira | icon meme!

1. Reply to this post, 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 squee.

brooklinegirl chose these for me:

Keyword: Ben Sherman & John Cooper - mouth

I use my icons mainly as fandom-signifiers instead of to indicate moods or other topics in my posts, so this is my lonely SOUTHLAND YAY SOUTHLAND icon. I wanted one that had both Sherman & Cooper in it, and that indicated something about their interaction in a sort of interesting way so the obvious choice was ... Ben staring at John's mouth. I mean. Obviously.

Keyword: McClane - Have a few laughs

It's JOHN MCCLANE. And, although you cannot see them, HIS LITTLE FEET. Is there any more iconic image of McClane than this one? ♥♥♥

Keyword: CM - Tre Sorelle

Which is to say, from Criminal Minds, Prentiss and Garcia with JJ, who is going into labor. The keyword 'Tre Sorelle' is a reference to

heresluck's awesome awesome Farscape vid by the same name (it means, three sisters) which is essentially Farscape with all the guys edited out, focusing on Aeryn, Chiana, and Zhaan. Sadly the vid seems not to be online, but it is on the 2006 VividCon DVD set. I chose this icon as a happymaking glimpse of the relationships among the women on Criminal Minds.

Keyword: Darien - d'oh

DARIEN FAWKES. I meant to use this as a general *facepalm* icon but I tend to fail at using icons that way, so I have rarely used it at all. I keep it mostly because I love Darien and Invisible Man and also because: guh. Look at him.

Keyword: Charlie & Ted - Family!!

The keyword is a bit elliptical, since this is actually Charlie (carrying Rachel!) & Ted, FAMILY!!!♥!!!HEARTS!11! I keep putting off watching the last few episodes of Life ever since I found out there wouldn't be any more, and one reason is that I want to imagine Charlie and Rachel and Ted more or less like this, dysfunctional but united, forever and ever.

Keyword: Pete - Quiet

I love Pete Wentz to TINY PIECES but oh man he is never still and never quiet, so I pounced on this icon for that incongruity. I just adore the way he seems, momentarily, self-contained and silent. Also that is some rad hair.

You have a Criminal Minds and a Life icon! This makes me incredibly happy. :D :D :D I have also not watched the last few episodes of Life, for pretty much the same reason, but first season remains one of my favorite things ever, and I would totally watch a show about Charlie, Ted, and Rachel as a dysfunctional family unit.

I love my quirky law enforcement shows! Although I am like ... half the season behind, on CM. It's all just sitting on my TiVo, waiting....

And LIFE, SO GOOD WHY DID IT END WHY WHY WHY. I even wrote fic about their dysfunctional family unit!

I just got into it, and mainlined all five seasons in about two weeks, so I'm all caught up. Fifth season is pretty good, although I'd recommend skipping the one that's just a poorly disguised pilot for the spinoff. Have you seen "100"?

I remember! I read your fic, it was awesome. *g*
