so I'm putting out the lantern; find your own way back home

1. Reply to this post, and I will pick five of your icons.
2. Make a post (including the meme info) and talk about the icons I chose.
3. Other people can then comment to you and make their own posts.
4. This will create a never-ending cycle of icon glee.

1.)   MONOCLE SHARINGAAAAAAAAAN~  Taken from Episode 23 of the Naruto Abridged Series, from probably the funniest flashback sequence I've ever seen.  This is one of the few icons that I made myself that actually looks half-decent.  I'm thinking about changing it out soon, though, before it loses its funny.

2.)   from heygraphics : This cracked me up when I saw it.  They're not even high-fiving!  Orochimaru's just being all, "Sasuke-kuuuuun, I know you're playing with your friends, but we have to leave now," and Sasuke's like, "UGH FINE SMELL YOU GEEKS LATER" and they poof out.  Bonus points for turning a scene that's very dramatic and stuff into an icon that is hilarious.  I love heygraphics ' icons because they are always very vibrant and colorful.

3.)   from goosygirl_icons : I saved this to my computer the day I found it because it is the funniest thing on earth.  I keep hearing the old Sesame Street song in my head when I see it, you know (which I think is the point), but seriously, just.  THAT FACE.  On ITACHI.  I remember getting to that point in the manga and LITERALLY (NOT MAKING THIS UP) FALLING OFF MY CHAIR IN A FIT OF HYSTERICS.  Because it was such a tense and dramatic moment, and then Itachi's like "LOL IMMA VILLAIN GUYS" and just ffffffffffffff.  A special note: goosygirl_icons  produces some of my favorite icons to use, not just because I like the way frakalakalaka  colors, but also because she names the files so wonderfully.  I went to save this, and the default save file name was "hintnottheoneontheleft".  I mean, seriously.

4.)  from tekla : This is a very good "DO NOT WANT" type icon because of the black background and bright colors.  Oh, and also the face he is making.  It's even funnier when you know what he happened to be making the face at, as tafkae  told me when I made a rant post about the Viz volumes censoring the Yaoi no Jutsu and she got to see the face in context.  tekla 's icons are super-good; I highly recommend them, especially for RP.

5.)   Not sure who this is from; I have it credited as aelionafey, but LJ informs me there is no such being: This is my AHAHAHAHAHA icon, of Haruhi from the crossdressing episode.  I think it hardly needs a description.  Fun Trivia: This is one of the oldest icons I have laying around on my computer, which is why I don't have a working credit for it.  From a certain point onwards, I became very careful about saving the name of whoever made an icon I stole, in order to properly credit them, but this was saved before then.  So I have no clue.

I agree on frakalaka doing an absolutely fantastic job naming her icons.

[okroginator.livejournal.com]

Totally. Either they're hilarious, or just beautiful.

You want me to tag you?

[redbrunja.livejournal.com]

No, thanks.

The Ouran one is by merrychildicons, I believe. :] That's that user's icon journal, anyway.

[okroginator.livejournal.com]

Yes! THANK YOU!

(on the subject of RP, I sent you a message on your Kairi journal. Do you know what's going on? Because I don't.)

Agreed on heygraphics and tekla, though I will love heygraphics forever for being one of the few people who ACTUALLY MAKES AN APPRECIABLE NUMBER OF RAIMEI ICONS. Srs, RP'ing Raimei has shed light on how little love she gets in fandom. ;;
