Icon meme thingie

And because I really, really want to know (so curious, me!), please tell me your favorite and least favorite of my userpics, and why. Just comment with it, and I'll return the favor. It's great fun to see what people do and do not like!

I really, really like your new user icon, because Chun Hyang is way cool ^^ and the icon is very pretty. I also adore WTF Howl icon ^^

My least favourite is the Potterpuff icon, merely because I'm seeing Potterpuff icons EVERYFUCKINGWHERE and it's annoying me. Someday I'll grow out of my annoyance of anything that is overly popular, I swear.

I'll probably get rid of the PotterPuff icon soon, as I'm starting to feel weird when I find people commenting in the same post I commented, with the same exact PP Luna icon. I have to read the username to figure out which one is mine, and that's annoying.

Yes, I hate using an icon when someone else is. I've been even known to wait until the maker of the icon themselves droped it before tackling over an icon greedily :3

Heh, interesting strategy XD I think this is why I don't use other people's icons in this journal. And when I do use somebody else's in [livejournal.com profile] retrograde_moon, it's an oldie that a few people grabbed.

With the Touya/Yukito icon, I actually chose to use the textless one since it was the one people would be less likely to grab. That should say a lot.

And I stopped using my Ravenclaw plushie icon when half my house was using it as well. Ironically, as soon as I delete it, I saw nobody else using it XDDD;

Maybe they stopped using it in general for the same reason ? Those icons did seem to be extremely popular. Rightfuly so, they're utterly adorable.

Yeah, that's the whole irony XD

I should use it again, but I'm really liking my new Ravenclaw icon, even though is so generic.

veamos, el que mas me gusta es ese que pone 'that's awesome' es muy gracioso, y en segundo y tercer lugar el the Touya y Yukito y el de Clow y Yuuko ^___^

Ése es Ling Yao, del manga de FMA ^_^ No recuerdo ahora si lo seguías en manga o no...

De los de Touya/Yuki, hice varias combinaciones de texto con la misma base XDDD Los tengo en mi icon journal, por si te da curiosidad.

Es que el tío es de otro país XD Es un príncipe del Imperio Xing que llega a Amestris con sus guardaespaldas para buscar el modo de alcanzar la inmortalidad. Suena muy serio, pero te juro que el chico está pirado XDDD De hecho, a todos los de Xing que salen en el manga les falta un tornillo. Hay incluso, aparte del grupo de Ling, una niña alquimista que viaja con un panda miniatura XD

Se supone que el país está después del desierto, pasando Ishbal, en el este. Así que todos son en plan asiático/árabe. Obviamete, no sale Xing en la serie de TV ni en la peli, es cosa del manga.

En serio que deberías leer el manga. Es mucho mejor en trama que el anime ^__^

hay algun sitio donde este todo? es que me pillas que no tengo ni idea, lo poco que he leido ha sido algun torent de frozen-layer que me he bajado por curiosidad, pero para nada desde el principio. Creo que molan los de Xing-a XDDD

Lo malo es que está en galería online y no en zips ~_~ Pero si llegas a ponerte al día, en la comu de FMA ponen scanlations de los capítulos nuevos apenas salen cada mes. Entonces habrá menos problemas para leerlo.

Hmmm... it's really difficult because I like a lot of the things you like, but if I have to choose just one it'd be the "magnolia scent" one. I like the picture and the colours, and I like the crack theories behind it...

My least favourite is the one with the penguin for the immature reason that penguins remind of my president. :/

Can I ask why do penguins remind you of your president? O_o

[identity profile] laurus-nobilis.livejournal.com 2005-08-07 04:13 pm (UTC)(link)
It's a stupid joke our journalists made up when he was elected, and it stuck. He's from one of the southern provinces (Santa Cruz) and there are lots of penguins there, so he got that nickname.

Apparently they thought it made him more approachable or something. I think it makes it sound as if we're governed by a Batman villain. >_<

And now they put penguins everywhere so every time I see one my gut reaction is "Political subliminal message! Gaah!!!"

That sucks o_o One of my favorite animals, involved with politics.

I like to think of the Venezuelan president as a really dumb monkey. El eslabón perdido o algo así (no supe decirlo en inglés)

My favorite is the Sheik / Nocturne, because I've have no idea where is from, but it's the prettiest. The least favorite is the potterpuffs one, not because it's ugly, but because it's common.

She's (yeah, it's a she, even though she looks like a bishounen) a Legend of Zelda character, from the Ocarina of Time videogame. Although that image is from the Super Smash Bros. Melee opening sequence, but still.

(no hace falta que "devuelvas" el meme, con sólo tres icons de cuenta gratuita y ninguno de ellos siendo míos... no merece la pena ^^u).

Mi favorito es el Touya/Yuki porque me encanta la combinación de colores, la imagen es adorable y es sencillo pero precioso. Aunque el de Ishida con la mariposita también podría ser, por la misma razón de sencillo pero efectivo (y porque esa escena es demasiado memorable XD).

El que menos, coincido con muchos en el de PotterPuff... por la parte -Puff más que nada, mi mente no concibe un tema que me gusta y otro que casi aborrezco por culpa de mi hermana pequeña juntos.

A mí tampoco me gustan mucho las Powerpuff Girls (o los cartoons de Cartoon Network, si vamos a eso), pero las frases que usa la fanartista en los icons son graciosas ^^; Pero como medio Livejournal los tiene, ya me están botando la piedra.

Sí, usar scans de manga es divertido XD La de T/Y fue divertida porque usé una gradiente que tuviera colores que le pegaran a ambos personajes. A Ishida-kun es que le va muy bien los tonos azules. Y así, no sé, intento buscar colores que le vayan a los personajes. Por ejemplo, todos los icons de manga de Hawkeye que hago son azul marino, mientras que los de Ling Yao son de tonos rojizos o naranja. El que te hice de Izumi fue marrón para que pegara con el oso.

2,6, & 3 are my favorites, and the Luna would probably be my least fav, partly because it's not one of yours so it lacks your personality, and partly because I picture LL with paler hair. {shrugs} And I wish the HP icons in that style were square.

Yeah, I'm not sure what kind of color "dirty blonde" is, but I thought it was reaaaaally light, not like the feathers of a little chick.
