Why do I have so many icons I no longer like/use?

[tempestuously]

I need something to perk me up before I do what I what was planning so I have this shiny meme. I should warning that my keywords are far more insightful than my comments, which are just mindless fangirlings.

Look at your LJ userpics list. If you have fewer than 50 icons, pick every fifth one. If you have between fifty and seventy-five icons, pick every seventh one. If you have over seventy-five icons, pick every tenth one. If you have fewer than ten, pick all of 'em. List them on your LJ, and tell everyone exactly why you have it, why it's interesting to you, and what significance it has.




KEYWORDS: nayami: fall, somedays are just like this
COMMENTS: I don't remember Rufus being this hot in the game.
Uh...I like Rufus. Or I did. I made this one when I was really into AC and I just liked the design so I kept it to remind me I don't always suck. ^^;;


KEYWORDS: mugetsu: smarter than you, the doctor is in
COMMENTS: glasses make eve look sinister
I love Eve. I especially love how intellectual she looks in this cap with her glasses. I used to use this icon whenever I was making a point, but I rarely do that without snark anymore so...


KEYWORDS: nayami: zuko, right now all is right with the world
COMMENTS: zuko is just too trusting
I don't know why I still have this one other than I'm too lazy to go looking for a better Zuko image. Zuko will always be my favorite Avatar character, and he has such a pretty smile.


KEYWORDS: aeroga: twilight prince
COMMENTS: my heart belongs to me!
The overall feel of this image is just beautiful. It's everything I could want in a Roxas icon. It has good introspective/thinking uses. I can't see myself ever getting rid of it.


KEYWORDS: nayami: surprise buttsecks axel style
COMMENTS: why? because we like you
I...don't...know...It was funny at the time. Now my whole issue with sexualizing KH characters makes me like it even less. I might ditch it.


KEYWORDS: angiechow: dark prince, angiechow: so we fall
COMMENTS: blindfolded!riku is infinitely sexy
Non-spoilerific Riku image with neat design.


KEYWORDS: iyo: everybody loves naruto, iyo: manwich, iyo: the boy is mine
COMMENTS: there's more than enough naruto to go around, boys
Not the best icon in the world but I really wanted something to remind me of the crack that was Sai and Sasuke fighting over Naruto in this chapter. I rarely use it.


KEYWORDS: serika_san: for his princess, serika_san: steadfast
COMMENTS: bring on the night
I wanted a Rue/Mytho icon and this one was the most stylistic. Also one of my favorite moments of the anime. I love Mytho's gay prince get-up.


KEYWORDS: belovedsfighter: cain/riff, belovedsfighter: taste of sin
COMMENTS: cain and riff are doomed
Obligatory Cain/Riff icon since I love them so. I like overlayed color manga icons a lot. You can do a lot with certain colors to add effect.


KEYWORDS: art by rubyd: fakir-duck, art by rubyd: perfect size
COMMENTS: fakir is as confused as you
It's Fakir as a duck!

As of this meme, I've learned that I probably should put icon artists in the comment section rather than in the keyword section for pretty sake. I'm debating if I'll use the same principle for the fanart icons, which require extra credit. I also remembered that for some reason I'm really irritated by the hiding of icon pages on the user info. I don't know why. I like looking at icons so when I can't access them, I get depressed. I guess it's all dependent on your opinion of property and claim.

When I was reading XXXholic 2 the other day, I realized I probably will have to read Tsubasa to get the whole story of XXXholic so I'm wondering whether it's lamer to quickly flip through Tsubasa (while standing up) at the store or to read scanlations since I am not giving Clamp anymore money than XXXholic and the Japanese volumes of Tsubasa (the X character ones) that I buy. This is my ongoing protest. Better yet, someone who needs a gift idea for me, there it is. Tsubasa so I don't have to donate any of my fundage.

I currently really like Rufus XD; Agreed with blindfolded Riku being delicious XD; And that duck...@_@;;;; I think I'm in love XD What you need is a friend who has bought all of Tsubasa so far XDDD I just learned one of my friends has up to volume 10 of Naruto, so I will probably mooch it off her at some point. Guess reading volumes 16, 17, and 25 perked my interest XDDDDD

I've never read Tsubasa, I didn't like it at all from what I saw of the anime. While Tsubasa needs other anime to fall back for its story because it's a crossover series (it's unoriginality kills it for me), xxxHOLiC does not, it stands on its own with very minor happenings crossing with the Tsubasa world. None of which have impacted xxxHOLiC in any way and I've read up to the very latest chapter~ ^_^

There may be a chapter or two that doesn't add up unless you're following Tsubasa (out of 117)... but hey, at least you're in the dark and going "WTH is this about?!" as much as Watanuki! xD

If you actaully wanted to read it, download it, I wouldn't spend money on it.

PS: The last icon! ♥ I saw it and at first I thought "it reminds me of Draco in some disturbing way...", then the next thought was "It's Princess Tutu like~~ ♥" And then I read your comments and was kinda surprised that's what it's actually from! xD
