I've been having much too much fun with my icons. At first I felt very protective and parental and didn't want to let any of them go, but now that I have lots of them, I don't mind so much ... and it's very warm and fuzzy to see them show up in other folks' posts.

Samples:

Samurai Deeper Kyo
1 2 3
4 5 6
 
7 8  
Saiyuki
9 10 11
 
12 13  
Bleach
14 15 16
17 18 19
19 20 21
Fruits Basket
22 23 24
25 26 27
Blade of the Immortal
 
28 29  

Some Notes:

9. Lyrics adapted from those of a traditional British folk tune.

10. With apologies to certain boutique popular with Gen Y.

12. Inspired by the Young Lady, who said that Gojyo's going-adventuring wardrobe in the first books made her think of what happens when you let preschoolers dress themselves.

27. Yes, I know, everyone makes an icon out of this picture. But there's so little good Furuba art online. Let me know if you have a pipeline to some more! (And besides, I messed with his mouth a little to make it look more like the manga Hatori.) Lyrics from The Who, of course, in "Tommy."

28. Ummm ... there may be a generation gap issue here. The reference is to Dr. Suess' immortal work On Beyond Zebra.

29. Lyrics from folksinger Carrie Newcomer (song: "It's Not OK")

If there's another one I use regularly that you'd like to have, you can always ask ... (the ones I still feel the most protective about are the Yukimura ones I use regularly), and I love making them by request too.

ETA: And I meant to put all the disclaimers: no hotlinking to my poor Earthlink account, please credit, etc. etc.

Of course I am... why would you ever believe anything else? *runs off with number 11*

and we also leave out the fact that you like those doujinshi too. And who knows, I might get my hands on a Saiyuki-doujinshi one day^^

I'm in love *drools* over your icons! I saw a few on another users profile and I had to come see your pretties! I am so glad to see that you share them! Squee!

I'm taking 10 and 11. You have a few in your user pics that I wondered how you felt like sharing.
In particular I love the two Sanzo "idiot" icons... "Everywhere I go it's idiots as far as the eye can see" and "Losing faith in humanity one idiot at a time." Then there's three others that I adore. I think they might be part of a series... It seems like you have one for each of the Saiyuki boys. Goku- "The cutest kittens have the sharpest claws." Hakkai-" =Intelligence the ultimate aphrodisiac Gojyo- "sex is only dirty if it's done right."

I'm such an icon whore. I love to collect them and bring the perfect one out to match each story I read. And I always credit.

Thanks for sharing your icons and please let me know if any of the others are snatchable. :)

*Claps hands* Yipee! (Insert other appropriate celebratory noises here!) :D

I knew that those icons had to be in a series. There's was just a feel/texture/look --something about them that gave off that vibe. It's good to know I was right. :) I figured that one of the two "idiot" icons was part of that series I just wasn't sure which one. Each of those in the set just seems like the perfect character portrait. It summed them up with just the right phrase and a great pic. I'm so glad you're going to share them because when I saw them I was like OMG those are so perfect I have to go show..... everyone!

I assume SDK= Samurai Deeper Kyo? I saw the anime a few months back and fell in love! I haven't read the manga yet, but intend to soon.... Probably even sooner now that you've reminded me! ;P I hate it when an anime series ends before the Manga does. And SDK was just so perfect. I've got the DVDs on my Amazon wish list.

I'm going to have to go check out nancybuttons now!

*chuckles* It seems like a requirement that the first few volumes of any "good" manga have to suck! My sister and I got a subscription to Netflix just for anime series. SDK was one of the first few we watched. And damn the character voices were sexy. And there is a section on each disc of out takes/ "bloopers" that are hysterical. I couldn't understand why the stopped the series so soon.

38 volumes!!! I'll definitely have to go read this now. You've got me intrigued. Hopefully I can find SDK volume downloads. I don't think my budget could handle that many manga volumes at once. And yes, I'm fanatical once I start reading I have to read it all NOW! LOL!

Well I managed to find V1-14 at Mangatemple.com and hana-mi has 21+, so That's a start! If you like the snarky sayings at nancybuttons check out www.despair.com.

Argh! I've managed to find up through half of vol 17.... I made myself stop at the end of 16 until I find more SDK. Must find those last 4 volumes before I can pick up again at vol 21! Going crazy here. I need my SDK fix now! One more day of searching before resorting to Amazon and overnighting them!

This is all your fault!!!! ;P

Argh! I can't believe how hard it was to find copies of the manga to buy. Can you believe they didn't have half of them on Amazon.com?! I finally managed to get my hands on volumes 17-25 through a combo of Amazon and barnesandnoble.com.Of course Volume 17 was the last to arrive.... isn't that the way things always turn out? Having all the other volumes and not 17 was torture. But now I'm happy! I'm off to go read some SDK. Hehehehe.

ps can you point me in the direction of some good SDK fan fics?

Long time no talk on the SDK front. Well I've finally made it to Vol 28... I now own about half the series. It's really getting good from this point, but there's no more to buy! I haven't been able to find any scans for 29+ Do you have any ideas if such exist? I've seen some translations, but not scans to go with.

From: [identity profile] tangerine-haze.livejournal.com
Thank you! Vol 29 is definitely a pivotal chapter. I'm glad you had a link for it. :)

I think you said something about 33 Volumes so far. I've read some comments that say spoiler for the end of SDK, etc. I was just wondering is SDK finished in Japan or is it still ongoing?

From: [identity profile] tangerine-haze.livejournal.com
Ok I'm a dork. I just scrolled up in our conversation and saw you said the series went to 38 Volumes. *head desk* I'm a moron! LOL!

Hey! Just sneaking over from [livejournal.com profile] redbrunja's journal ^_^
I just couldn't resist the Ikkaku icon - he is so much win.

(Do you mind if I friend you? No worries if you'd rather I don't ^_^)

It's so awesome!

Hooray! Sounds spectacular.
I'm a 20 year old femslash-writing she-geek. I mean, I write het sometimes... ish.... and maybe someday I will build myself up to slash. (Inevitably, in fact, since I already promised a friend to write a pairing for her.)

Actually, my geekery is taking over at the moment: I got a friend into an RP, and she app-ed Yumichika, and now there is a tug-o'-war about if I should app Rukia or Ikkaku....

I am going to app Ikkaku because of that icon. Seriously. I was torn, and now I am not. ^_^

From: [identity profile] bamboozle.livejournal.com
Oh, "app" just means like... writing and submitting an application for a character so you can play them.

Yeah. I mean, I totally can see Yumichika as either asexual because no one is pretty enough, or with Ikkaku. They are, even if they are just friend, platonically in-love. If... that makes any kind of sense.
(I totally just started shipping Rangiku/Nanao, and it completely blindsided me)
