Iconic Decision

[chomiji]

I've long wanted an "I can kill you with my brain!" icon, but couldn't find artwork I really wanted to use. Predictably, I recently found 2 pieces:

Bereznoff or Zakuro? Zakuro or Bereznoff?

Zakuro is a much better piece of art and far more of a character, but there's something beautifully loopy about using Bereznoff for this purpose ... .

(For those not familiar with Ouran High School Host Club ... Bereznoff looks like a hand puppet because that's exactly what he is! He's not quite as weird and spooky as the sock puppet in Kurosagi Corpse Delivery Service, but he's not quite the innocent toy one would think, either ... .)

"I can kill you with my brain" always makes me think of River. For whom emeraldsedai has a good icon.

Umm ... River who? Not sure I recognize the reference there.

River Tam? Firefly?

"Also ... I can kill you with my brain."

See, I am Ms. Deficient in Television ... I manage not to watch even things I would like. It's rather sad. So I know what Firefly is but I have never seen it ... . telophase has an icon with picture of the character Abe no Seimei from the movie Onmyoji with that caption, so I'd picked it up from there ... now I feel pretty silly!

Not at all! I don't know who the guy in the icon is either. :-)

Firefly is seriously wonderful. Everytime we rewatch we're amazed to find that, yes, it really was that good and no, we weren't imagining it. It also has loads of parallels with Saiyuki, IMO.

100% worth it. So slashable!
