Icon post

[tygati]

Wow. So, it's been a long time since I've done icons. But I was bored out of my mind and M said I should watch Barbie Fairytopia for inspiration. *grin* I made it about ten minutes through the movie before I started taking screencaps. ^^;; Mermadia is next.

As I was cropping and editing my screencaps, I realized I had a bunch of other ones I'd taken off and on and never posted. So, I'm posing them all now. Aren't you lucky? ^.~

If you like any of them and would like specific words, lemmie know. Some of those Barbie ones practically scream for captions. (Like that one I'm dubbing 'Interspecies Love') ^^;

Dude... Those Princess Bride ones are awesome...

Have you read the book? It's really good.

[tygati.livejournal.com]

Heh. The script pretty much lent itself to icon-making? ^^;

*laugh* Of course I have! ... er... back in high school.. >.> which was... longer ago than I really want to think about... x.x

[maderr.livejournal.com]

You're a dork.

[tygati.livejournal.com]

... duh? ^^

[aqua-eyes.livejournal.com]

Princess Bride icons for the win!

[graphitesmudges.livejournal.com]

The Princess Bride ones ^^ are so damned funny. My stomach hurts from giggling.

[mechante-fille.livejournal.com]

Eieeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!! I had to break out of vacation to comment on the awesome!!! I have to go delete half of my icons now... or buy more, but that isn't happening.

*smooches* You rock, Kitty!!! xxxooo

[tygati.livejournal.com]

*LAUGH* Um, sorry? *grin* It's really funny when I can post stuff and go "Hmm, this is totally a mechante_fille post." ^^; I mean really, who else but you can properly appreciate some of the zany stuff I like? ^.~

YAY FOR PRINCESS BRIDE ICONS XD!!!!! I was just watching it this morning, hahahaha!

Where is the first misc. one from??? It looks so familiar but I can't place it D: I blame all the cold medicine I've been taking.

[tygati.livejournal.com]

*lol* That's Howl from Howl's Moving Castle. ^.~

[aetheraestus.livejournal.com]

One of my favorite movies ever ^_______^ I thought it might be, but I wasn't sure.

[kiyoshi-chan.livejournal.com]

Is the second misc one from The Darkness? :D

[tygati.livejournal.com]

Yup. ^_^ Jackie from The Darkness. *.* He's so yummy...

[kiyoshi-chan.livejournal.com]

He IS! Also such a womanizer, lolz. :P

[tygati.livejournal.com]

*snicker* And is it bad that the moment I got to the spot where they're all "You can't have sex in case you get someone pregnant" my brain kinda blinked and went "Huh, that's no big deal. He can just go get a boyfriend!" ^^;;;

[kiyoshi-chan.livejournal.com]

HAHAHAHAHAHA, I LOVE YOU SO MUCH.

But there doesn't seem to really be any appropriate guys in his life?

[tygati.livejournal.com]

Well really now. ^^; The guys in prison don't seem to have any problem with fulfilling their needs that way, so why should Jackie? Especially if he's as horny as they always indicate. ^^;;

Hrm. This is true. >.> Well, we could always invent one for him. *grin* Maybe the son of a rival mob gang? Oooh, conflict. ^.~

[kiyoshi-chan.livejournal.com]

Eeeeeeeeeee! That would be SO HOT.

Or, ooo, ooo, a cop? Are there any hot cops from the Witchblade universe or The Darkness universe? As far as I remember, those two series crossover SO WELL.

[tygati.livejournal.com]

I... don't really know. I've been having a hell of a time finding issues. *sulk* And Witchblade isn't really as interesting cause they concentrate so much on the mostly-naked women and... bleah. x.x Of course, the audience is pubescent straight boys, so... x.x Meh. I sulk. But I'm sure we could gleefully invent a cop or something for him. ^__^ Hee.

9.9 Wonder if there's any The Darkness slash out there... >.>

[kiyoshi-chan.livejournal.com]

I haven't read The Darkness in a LONG time. ^^;;;;; *laugh* I like Michael Turner's art, so...

YAY! Mwahahahaha. XD *cheers madly*

But who would he be slashed with? His adopted dad?

[tygati.livejournal.com]

Mmm, yes. I think it was Fathom that got me started, and then I digressed, and... ^^;

x.x Ugh. No. Besides, isn't his adopted dad dead? 9.9 I think I remember that anyway...

[kiyoshi-chan.livejournal.com]

Yeah, Fathom is really pretty. *_* I don't really get the story though. :P

Oh, I forget. :x

[tygati.livejournal.com]

I'm not real sure what the story's doing either. It's all about the art. ;)

[rotewolken.livejournal.com]

:O! Old school ninja turtles movie! Lampshade! <3 I loves you right now.

[tygati.livejournal.com]

Old school is the best school. ;)

[formerlydf.livejournal.com]

Um. Inspired by that merman icon because...well, I have no real excuse, other than that it was fun and my muses refused to stop bugging me. So, we have interspecies preslash. Little Mermaid, of course, not Mermaidia, because I haven't seen that, but hey, they both have half-human guys covered in scales from the waist down. It's all good.

"They're never going to last, you know."

Finn looked down, surprised — not because there was a seaweed-draped mermaid talking to him (this was, after all, an interspecies wedding) but because of the comment. "Why?" he asked, watching Ariel and Eric stare into each other's eyes lovingly, completely ignoring whatever the priest was saying. "They seem pretty in love to me."

The mermaid raised an eyebrow. "They've known each other for about two weeks and she couldn't even talk for more than half that time."

"You're too cynical." Finn slipped off his dress shoes, sat on the ground and rolled up the legs of his pants. He was sitting in the back and was only a minor, unimportant cousin, anyway; no one was going to care if he dipped his feet in the water.

The mermaid — merman? whatever — hoisted himself up a bit more, resting his elbows on the deep-water dock that had been built specifically for the occasion. "You don't know Ariel. She was always daydreaming about the land. She just wants what she can't have."

"Except she's got it now," Finn pointed out. "And humans can get really boring sometimes."

"Are you boring?" the merman asked, grinning.

Finn snickered. "I'm not touching that one."

"I don't think you're boring." The merman leaned in closer and murmured, "But I wouldn't mind you touching me."

A little startled, and not sure he had even heard correctly, Finn decided to play it safe. "Well, you know me even less than Ariel and Eric know each other. I mean, I don't even know your name. I'm Finn, by the way."

"Roane," the merman told him, still leaning a little too close. It turned every word into a caress, and Finn shivered despite the warmth of the day and the hot breath on his neck. But suddenly —too suddenly, Finn found himself thinking, absurdly disappointed —he pulled away and slipped back down into the water, laughing quietly. "Bet you it lasts three weeks."

Finn considered. "How stubborn is Ariel?" he wondered.

"Stubborn enough to go to a wicked witch to get a spell when everyone told her to stop daydreaming about humans."

"Seven weeks. Or until the make-up sex stops being worth it."

Roane raised an eyebrow. "You're a cynic, too."

Finn shrugged. "Eric might be grateful that she saved his life, but he hates not getting his own way. He's a prince, after all."

"And Ariel a princess."

Finn nodded and absently swung his feet in the water, watching as Roane swam away and then back, tail flashing in the sun.

"Well," Roane continued when he returned, "not all of us merpeople are quite as stubborn as Ariel." He moved closer again. "Some of us are very flexible."

Finn's mouth was suddenly very, very dry.

"And some of us—" Roane shifted, his mouth somehow ending up right where Finn's neck met his shoulder "—know shapeshifting spells that don't require selling your voice to an evil witch. Really, she could have just asked."

He moved back, and Finn could breathe again. "Really?" he asked, trying to sound casual. "That sounds interesting. Um. From a scholarly point of view."

"Mmm." Roane nodded. "There's a very convenient cove near the castle. Very private. Meet me there say, tomorrow at eight?"

"Yeah. Yes. Definitely."

"Good." Roane turned towards the front of the dock again. "Oh, look. They're saying the 'I do's. I've got to go join the family." He gave Finn a parting grin and swam off.

Finn watched Ariel and Eric kiss passionately, spurred on by a very excited audience, and smiled. Eric had a honeymoon with a newly-human, singing redhead; he had a date with a cynical, seaweed-draped merman.

He knew who the luckier man was.

*LMAO* That? Was awesome. ^____^ *snickers madly at the potshots toward Eric & Ariel* ^___________^ Heeeeee...

The merman in the icon is Prince Nalu, btw, and frequent source of my ire because he's totally flirting with Barbie/Elina in the first movie, then in the second one they're 'just good friends' and he totally digs this other chick. :P Bah. Bah I say.

[formerlydf.livejournal.com]

*grins* Why thank you. I really couldn't resist. It was supposed to be longer, but I figured that hey, if the muses are giving me something, I might as well not complain. I may add more eventually.

*scoffs* Psh. "Just good friends." Riiight. Everyone knows that's what people say when they don't want to admit that they're into someone...

[hsavinien.livejournal.com]

Hee. I like it.
