for Quote Me On That at lands-of-magic

I am responsible for this challenge (mostly, because I told MC that we needed a revist because I wanted to make the first image in this set.) You are welcome.

Long story short.. I absolutely love Red vs Blue and Sweet Jesus, so many lines just immediately make me think of Star Trek ~~and I needed to cut myself off at 10 because I could do this all day...~~

73 crime fandom icons ; two headers

a cross-posting of entries for crimechallenge

Honestly, I'm not sure how these icons never got crossposted here. Like.. AT ALL. I also remember nothing of making these.

and two headers made for the community as an early challenge

I will assume the caps came from the usual spots linked in the other icon posts for each show. I'll give this post a proper edit another day. Or I won't..

some cleanup

I got a wild hair to finally start cleaning up the Photobucket mess and have come across some icons that were made for a challenge, but never were posted.

I've also found that at some point (ie probably when the hard drive crashed) and have a large collection of icons that have simply disappeared. The files are all still there, but they are just blank.

Of 39 Disney icons made for

classic_disneys, only these three have survived:

I also found these five, made for

25 Michael J Caboose icons

for Character Study at lands-of-magic

Caboose may have started as comic relief.. but let me tell you.. after 18 seasons of RvB... he's the only one who ever made me cry. Like UGLY CRY. Twice. Just thinking about why he made me cry makes me tear up, it was that intense.

My boy is usually the verbal punching bag for the other characters.. but the times where they do take him seriously, it's a beautiful thing. And, bless him.. he rarely clocks the negative. Mostly because he either doesn't understand or doesn't care.

He is fiercely loyal (especially-yet-kinda-stalkery to Church) to his teammates and neighbors (aka the Reds); doesn't like books without pictures; and once loaded his rifle with crayons instead of bullets. .. which is pretty impressive, what with his rather high kill count.

Most importantly: Tucker did it.

50 Beckett Mariner icons

Somehow, having multiple fandoms featuring characters who fall somewhere on the spectrum of the alphabet army, I couldn't think of a damn one.. Thankfully,

25 Raj icons

for No Shave November at lands-of-magic

First person I thought of for this challenge was SRK. He's said in interviews that he doesn't like the beard, but lordy, it likes him. ;) Dilwale was my first Bollywood film, and I am forever grateful it was the random one I picked, because this has been a rabbit hole that I have no problem being stuck in for the rest of time. (*all icons are of Raj, because Kaali was clean-shaven)

Also, gonna be 100% transparent here: I barely fiddled with the lighting on these caps and just cropped. Minimum effort because it's last-minute and I just don't have the energy to look at any filters. Besides, the lighting of this film is pretty damn perfect, as-is. ((of course, seeing them the next morning, on the work computer, they appear MUCH darker than on the home monitor.. HRMM))

- Laethriel is my main World of Warcraft Night Elf Hunter ; she's also my D&D character (who's a Drow Hunter). I didn't feel like logging in for a screencap or trying to manip a picture of Zoe Saldana..
- One song is very specifically for D&D -

luxuria_oceanus will know who it's meant for ; otherwise most tracks are general traversing/fighting in Azeroth and whatever world D&D is in.
