Iconses!
It's the Icons Meme - bookwormsarahpicked out five of my icons and asked me to talk about them:
This lovely thing is my default icon. It was the first icon I picked when I got a paid account and could afford more. I like it because it has trees and birds and is more than a little trippy and implausible looking, with lovely, warm, comforting colours. I use it for pleasant things in general, and for when I can't think of anything more appropriate.
I use this one for memes, or when people are behaving in a particularly sheep-like manner. It is taken, of course, from the Borg in Star Trek.
Like a lot of people who spend time online, I found myself in need of a zombie icon. Unfortunately, I don't find traditional zombies particularly pleasing visually, so I was very happy when fungus_filescreated a series of zombie marsupial icons from old pictures, of which the zombie-roo is one. This is the icon I use when I'm feeling particularly zombie-like, or when reporting exceptionally brainless behaviour.
This is from the Korean Carrot Song. I don't speak a word of Korean, but I became fascinated by this strange song and its animation last year, and had quite a lot of fun speculating what it might actually be about. The kindly aeramamade me several icons from it, including this amimated one, which I use for posts of unusal festivity. My Very, Very Good News icon.
This one's from the wonderful mina_de_malfois series - a story of a rather flawed BNF in an imaginary fandom slowly stumbling towards something approaching common sense. If for any reason you haven't read mina_de_malfois yet, you really should - it's brilliantly funny, especially the first season, and is full of wonderful little quotes like this. When I use it, it's usually the icon equivalent of a facepalm.
If you want me to do this for your icons, leave me a comment!
