The Avatar Book Club turned out to be even less fun than the arts & crafts contest.


Sokka: "Piggy had it coming!"


Zuko: "It doesn't matter what Mustache-Boy says, Ethan Frome is a wretched book. Ironic my ass."


Teo: "Doctor Frankenstein's work was a testament to humanity's genius!"


Katara: "I'm just saying. He locked up his insane wife in the attic, he must be a firebender."


Toph: "What? The prince didn't tame the fox because he was hungry!"


Haru: "Katara, I promise that when I said Pride & Prejudice reminded me of you, I wasn't suggesting you have a superiority complex, okay?"


Aang: "I...I just don't understand. The pigs are so mean to the other animals. This is a mean book!"


You guys got any?

I've been meaning to make a large A:TLAB rec list for a while, and since donna_c_punk is getting into the show, I thought I'd go all the way and make a Fandom Guide. It's as extensive as I could think to make it with regards to links and communities, with some of my personal commentary on the fandom as a whole, and a fic rec list at the end.

*NOTE: If a listed link lacks commentary, it simply means I'm not familiar enough with it.

1. 2. 3.

Three versions of the same icon, two of them with an third image. #1 is the lowest color count and resolution.

( This is the full transcript of the text. )


I am such a perfectionist-Nazi, I spent over three hours editting 6 screencaps, then editing two of them even more to move both characters inward, then making an extremely wordy icon. Aaahhhhhh, procrastination! And my wrist hurts. >( But also Photoshop practice, which helps me for my day job. :)

( So, I thought I'd give you guys the screencaps, original and the altered versions I used. Might be slow for dial-up folk. )

The icons are free to take as are the screencaps, original and edited. Gods knows maybe I'll save someone else the trouble of moving characters around.

Skimmed the post episode 31 FMA discussion on the Adult Swim board, and people were oohing and ahhing over the stuff revealed with Wrath, Greed, Envy, and Sloth all in the same place at the same time. All the stuff about Wrath's history. They kept talking about how exactly a homunculus is made from a failed transmutation.

And that got me thinking about Buffy. Because, you know, a part of me is always in Jossverse at any given moment. And this is what I was thinking about:



EDWARD: I think I figured it out. This homunculous, it's not a homunculous we let out. It's a homunculus that we made.

ALPHONSE: We made a homunculus? Bad us.

EDWARD: Thaumogenesis is when doing a spell actually creates a being. In this case it was like, a side-effect, I guess. Like a price.

WINRY: What?

EDWARD: Think of it like, the world doesn't like you getting something for free, and we asked for this huge gift. Mom. A-and so the Gate said, 'fine, but if you have that, you have to take this too.' And it made the homunculus.

WINRY: Well, technically, that's not a price. That's a gift with purchase.



::tiny giggle fit:: Anya. Love. Always.

Long I have searched for good Princess Tutu icons! And I found them! In ushitora_icons.

EDIT: Ahhh, and there's Scar/Lust icons too.

EDIT2: I die of teh prettay.

Season 7:




I was thinking about making this a Fruits Basket icon. Maybe like so:






Anyone wanna make it for me? In my day of extreme laziness? We could have lots of different versions!

chill_shadow posted some wonderful South Park characterizations of the SC trio in _champloo.

I just had to icon it.

A bunch of new FB icons for you. A couple animated, stills and bases. I will never get bored of making Hatsuharu icons, and Shigure will never not be pretty.

teasers:

_x__x_


( Shigure, Rin - mild dialogue and image spoilers for volumes 10-11ish, deliberately misconstrued on my part to be falsely representative of actual events, cause I'm evil that way )

Hatsuharu and Yuki: ( no spoilers )

Bases for your own adaptation:
( Haru, Rin, Shigure )

I realized I'd never made an icon for Gaara before, and I had one slot left on my 50 icon bracket... I call it the "Gaara sucks at math but that's okay cause he can kill you anyway" icon.

Free for the taking.
