Dark Cities

[timepiececlock]

I'll admit, a part of me is laughing at the power outtage on the north east coast yesterday. The little devil on my shoulder is jumping up and down dancing and singing "Ha ha! How do YOU like it, huh?! Laugh at us Californians for our power problems, huh? huh? Look at you, a whole freaking multi-state, multi-national outage! ha ha!"

Then the angel on my other shoulder slaps her wrist and shoves cake in her mouth to get her to shut up. She still grins a bit, though.

Go ahead!

Well, I actually was looking at it, and ended up editing it and sort of creating my own version. Do you know who first made it so I can give them credit for the images used?

::bangs head::

No, I don't. It was offered about two months ago; and I have so many icons (it's really scary) that I only note the maker when they specifically say they want credit. Now I wish I had noted it anyway, since so many people have commented on it.

So sorry.

[rashaka.livejournal.com]

Ah, ok. Anyway, here's my version.

[bathsweaver.livejournal.com]

Oh, that's lovely.

I don't suppose it's sharable, is it? ;p

Love it.

[rashaka.livejournal.com]

Probably best not to, since it's altered. Besides, you have a pretty one!

[bathsweaver.livejournal.com]

*g*

Yeah--thought not! :p

Awesome job though, and know that the sharing request as the highest complement I could ever pay anyone for their icons.

Well, alright, you you convinced me! You can use it. But be discreet and judicious about sharing it with others-- idea idea that some vengeful iconmaker makes her way back to me to beat up on me for stealing her icon kinda freaks me out. :) Sincerely, thank you for the compliment.

[bathsweaver.livejournal.com]

Oh!

But...I didn't mean...

Thank you, very much for allowing me to share it. And of course I'm going to, because it's wonderful. But I didn't mean for what I said earlier to be a means of pressuring you into lending it to me. You said you'd rather not share, and that was fine with me; I completely understood that you might prefer to keep it for yourself.

I don't nag people, I didn't mean to sound like I was nagging you, and that was what I had intended to convey along with my admiration (with a respectful helping of envy) of the finished icon.

So, here's what I'm trying to say: Thank you so, so much. I'm taking you up on your offer because I can't turn it down, and don't want to; but in deferment to your original wishes, I'm only going to use it very, very infrequently. And if someone else admires it, of course I'll credit you, and of course I won't offer it for sharing. I wouldn't have even if you had said 'yes' the first time. You edited it; and if I hadn't already had the base gif that you used, you probably would have made something very similar from the stills that wisteria_ posted a day or two ago.

So--erm--THANKS!!!

I know you weren't trying to pressure me, and I didn't do it because I felt "pressured." I'm just a softie who likes to share anyway. In all likihood I would have emailed you a few days from now anyway saying I changed my mind. I think I was trying to be more "noble by deffering credit" than I actually am at heart. Plus, internet ettiquette is always confusing. So, I share with you. I'm going to use it, cause I like it. You're going to use it, because you like it. We are both happy. :)

Thanks--I was worried about that (as you probably could tell!).

So, WEEE! We're sharing an icon together! Now it's time for you, my dear, to get started on that post-Chosen Anya fic you were tantalizing us all with in you more recent post.

;p
