(Some things are not great right now, but I don't want to deal with those things. So there.)

So rather than an extended rant about that, I thought I'd post these icons! Most of the pics came from here or here; I only cropped and resized, for the most part. Graphics are up for grabs, always; no need to credit me with these, since I did so little to them.


      

     

Icons are up for grabs to anyone who likes them, always. Credit and/or comments are shiny (though mostly I can't remember where I got the photos).



First, eight rainbow icons. Happy birthday, cranky__crocus !

 

     

     

Second, some questionably-Photoshopped Pierce fandom icons I promised people on Glake like two weeks ago. Better late than never, yes? (I apologize for two things: my limited success at splicing multiple photos together, and my inability to see anybody but Leelee Sobieski as Kel.)


( Fal/Zahir, Kel/Jon, Kel/Roald, Kel/Lalasa, Sabine/Raoul )

Anybody know of a free program for making/editing animated gifs? Limited-time-free-trials would also be fine. What's not fine is the Bannershop "free trial" the sticks a whole new frame with a hideous stripe across the middle 30% of the icon at the end. "Watermark," my ass.

(Icon, such as it is, is by me and is up for grabs to anyone with the capacity to remove that last frame.)

ETA: GIMP did the trick! Yay! Thanks opalgirl28 !

Further ETA: green_maia , I don't know your feelings on animated gifs, but if they don't drive you mad, you're welcome to snag this one. I'm working on some other Hamlet icons, too.

There's some discourse, right now, about identifying with characters: how does identifying, or not identifying, with a character influence your relationship with the story that character appears in? Is identifying with a character a good thing, or a bad thing, or neither?

( I never thought much about this before... )

( And this is a good place to talk about my icon. )

Oh yes, I have a graphics program now! Woooot!

So, I offer you a bunch o' Buffy icons with song lyrics. Feel free to download & use these if you like 'em. The first one was green_maia 's idea, quite a long while ago. There's another one that goes along with a little fic I wrote for still_grrr a couple of week ago. The rest are pretty random... MP3 player + Buffy fanaticism + graphics program = these icons.

Oh, and the screen caps are all from www.screencap-paradise.com/ because they're awesome.

Also, I'm totally addicted to making these now. So if you want an icon (or several), let me know! Give me a song lyric and a scene/character/pairing, and I'll deliver.

Icons under the cut, if it works right. Yes, they're a little bigger than actually icons right now, because I have the space for it. If (ok, when) I start running out of space, I'll scale them down.( icons!! )
