ICON MEME

From [livejournal.com profile] chesauroshin! It's been like a year and a half since I did this one last, so.

* reply to this post with the word MEME and I will pick six of your icons.
* make a post (including this info) and talk about the icons I chose.
* other people can then comment to you and make their own posts.
* this will create a never ending cycle of icon glee.



1.

If for some reason SOMETHING TERRIBLE HAPPENED, like the apocalypse or something, and I was only allowed to keep one LJ icon, this would probably be the one. Three boys looking out onto the horizon. This one image works on so many levels. FRIENDSHIP! DESTINY! BEING A KHR FAN! For these reasons, it's always been one of my faves. |D

The pic comes from this fanvid on Youtube, incidentally. It is adorable and you should all go watch it now.


2.

OH, NUTS. YOU MAKE ME LOL SO. There really isn't much to say about this one, except that it's Nuts and it's adorable and hilarious and quite apt at summing up my feelings on many a fangirling occasion.


3.

LITTLE CHROME. |D [livejournal.com profile] smilypie made this after I flailed over this image in the last chapter, because she is AN AMAZING PERSON WHO IS MADE OF EPIC. ♥ What I like about Chrome in this icon is that she is tiny. This is probably because she eats about two sticks of pocky a week. THAT'S NOT HEALTHY, CHROME, but it does make her adorable, and I have secret hopes that one day there will be a Helm's Deep-style battle in the KHR manga for some reason, and someone will be standing next to her looking out over the walls of the fortress and be all like, "Would you like me to get you a box?" and I will laaaaaaugh, and Chrome will probably blush but then later on she will kick ass and everyone will be like, "WHOA, SHE'S SMALL BUT EVEN SO SHE COULD PROBABLY KILL US!" and they'll all sit back and watch in shock, and for once she won't get kidnapped and/or rescued by Mukuro because it's my fantasy battle and and I said so.

Wow, you know what wasn't short? That previous sentence. Yeesh.


4.

And thus, Yamamoto Takeshi was disowned. "SORRY, DAD, IT'LL NEVER HAPPEN AGAIN, I SWEAR."


5.

This was made by [livejournal.com profile] melissa_42 in response to this post, and is one of the more amazing things I've seen in my lifetime. [livejournal.com profile] cleartempest and I discussed what events would actually be involved in the Dick Olympics, and concluded that it would be a montage of puppy kicking, stealing candy from babies, talking during movies, and so on. Some athletes train and suffer for years to be able to compete on an international level, but for others, like Byakuran, it just comes naturally.

It should be noted that even if Byakuran never ever appears in the manga again, I pretty much don't plan to delete this icon ever.


6.

Of the approximately ten million facial expressions Gokudera has, this one is probably my favorite. Real, legitimate smugness-that's-not-just-an-overcompensation-for-secret-vulnerabilities was until recently a rare thing to see on him, so I always consider it a treat when we do. Not the least because IT MAKES HIM INCREDIBLY HOT.

This icon also has my very favorite keywords, shamelessly lifted from my favorite Pokey the Penguin strip. Of course, that's only one of the potential captions that can go with that face. There are any number of others, ranging from the traditional, "I am indeed the dashing right hand man of the Vongola Tenth," to the more R-rated options, most of which are variations on the phrase, "Shut up and fuck me."

...I really love this icon.


Anyway, now that that meme is done with, I think this is a good opportunity for me to wish [livejournal.com profile] part_b a very happy birthday, and to also pass along considerably less timely but no less heartfelt birthday wishes to [livejournal.com profile] circles9, [livejournal.com profile] smilypie, and [livejournal.com profile] morgrix as well. ♥ One day I'll stop failing at life. XD

I found the full version and it is everything the short part was x1000000 and makes me love everything about Reborn even more :')

I want Chrome to do more awesome things SO BAD, OMG.

I also love that Gokudera actually has real confidence now sometimes. Maybe he'll even win a fight in this arc? Loling at the keywords, btw.

YAY YOU FOUND IT. *edits link in post!* Hooray for adorable Daily Life bike-riding antics. |D

Me too. Too bad it doesn't look like it'll be happening any time soon (especially given the spoilers for the latest chapter). :|

And yeah, it seems like he's been a new person ever since the Future Arc. Hopefully this thing with the Shimon family won't end up screwing with that confidence too badly. I WOULD NOT OBJECT TO THAT.

[personal profile] way2dawn 2010-07-14 08:52 pm (UTC)(link)

And there's another one that I just found to the other duet, too :')

I haven't read the spoilers. Does something terrible happen?

It's really kind of wonderful to see him slowly but surely turn into someone who'd be a good right-hand-man :)HE'S OVERDUE, DAMMIT.

[identity profile] makeste.livejournal.com 2010-07-14 09:21 pm (UTC)(link)
adsfklsj SO CUTE. *_*

Indeed, although given the trend in the recent chapters, that alone probably isn't much of a surprise. But I'll shut up now so I don't ruin anything. XD

It really is. It seems like every other chapter he's done something to make me grin like an idiot lately. HE IS COMING ALONG NICELY. And yeah, seriously.

[identity profile] tsunayoshi.livejournal.com 2010-07-14 08:25 pm (UTC)(link)
Dick Olympics cannot stop laughing asdklfasdkjfgfdjisk plz never stop being amazing. XD

ALSO: MEME?

[identity profile] makeste.livejournal.com 2010-07-14 08:50 pm (UTC)(link)
The really interesting thing about the Dick Olympics is the medals. They are not worksafe. XD

AND ONE MEME, COMIN' ATCHA:

I WOULD BE DISAPPOINTED IF THEY WEREN'T

*w*/ roger that

[identity profile] kat8cha.livejournal.com 2010-07-14 08:51 pm (UTC)(link)
lol, dick olympics

IDK. AIZEN'S STILL IN THE RUNNING BY MY ACCOUNT.

MEME MEME ME ME ME ME

[identity profile] makeste.livejournal.com 2010-07-14 09:11 pm (UTC)(link)
AIZEN MAY BE A DICK, BUT HE DON'T GOT NO PRINCESS WINGS. Those have to count for something.

daslfkjasldk why do you have so many icons omg. THIS WAS HARD, BUT HERE:











[identity profile] kat8cha.livejournal.com 2010-07-15 01:18 am (UTC)(link)
I HAVE SO MANY ICONS BECAUSE I PAID FOR THEM.

...also, yes, I suppose princess wings count for something...

AND the rock pants.

[identity profile] makeste.livejournal.com 2010-07-15 01:34 am (UTC)(link)
IT WAS A RHETORICAL QUESTION

AND THE FIREWORKS

All Aizen has is like. A dress.

[identity profile] kat8cha.livejournal.com 2010-07-15 01:35 am (UTC)(link)
:D Gimp suit. Don't forget the gimp suit.

[identity profile] makeste.livejournal.com 2010-07-15 01:46 am (UTC)(link)
Maybe if he had six belts with that gimp suit I'd be impressed. :|

[identity profile] kat8cha.livejournal.com 2010-07-15 01:55 am (UTC)(link)
My Shouichi muse just said 'Byakuran juts does that to make undressing him more complicated' and then spazzed out at me.

[identity profile] makeste.livejournal.com 2010-07-15 01:59 am (UTC)(link)
D:

...actually, that might make it more awkward than anything else. "Do hurry up, Shou-chan~" "I'M TRYING BYAKURAN-SAN THERE ARE A LOT OF BELTS OKAY, GOD."

[identity profile] morgrix.livejournal.com 2010-07-14 09:05 pm (UTC)(link)
I love your first and second choice as well. Nuts is SOOO cute and lolable in this icon! *_*

And thanks for the birthday wishes and don't worry. Even my father forgot. The phone rang in the morning and my sister told me: "Patricia, it's your birthday and the phone is probabily for you, go and pick it up". So, it was my father, and I was like "Hiiiiiiiiiiiiii dad" XD. So he told me: "Hi dear! Is everything ok? I wanted to talk to your sister about something she wants, is she at home?" "..." "Sure, I'll call her" ;__;

[identity profile] morgrix.livejournal.com 2010-07-14 09:07 pm (UTC)(link)
probabily =????
"probably"

#english fail

[identity profile] makeste.livejournal.com 2010-07-14 09:17 pm (UTC)(link)
S-sob. MAJOR PARENTAL FAIL. My dad is like that too. :| I hope you had a good day in spite of that. *HUG* ♥

Poor Nuts. So adorable that everyone just laughs at his pain. XD

[identity profile] smilypie.livejournal.com 2010-07-14 09:47 pm (UTC)(link)
LOL NUTS. <3

Lolol, I'm just happy you like it |D
You know...I can picture Chrome taking a stick of pocky like, "Hmm, I guess I should eat something now...," and chewing it slowly and this image makes me amused and very sad inside at the same time. And is it bad that I feel like your fantasy battle can possibly happen because KHR is....KHR? Except, apparently females don't do anything in KHR anymore unless it means fan service sjkghdsjgfsd

For Byakuran, the Dick Olympics is a walk in the park, of course!
It should be noted that even if Byakuran never ever appears in the manga again, I pretty much don't plan to delete this icon ever.
YES, PLEASE, KEEP HIS LEGACY ALIIIIVE.

Thanks for the birthday wish 8D and MEME PLEASE!<3

[identity profile] makeste.livejournal.com 2010-07-15 01:25 am (UTC)(link)
FAITO, NUTS.

Sometimes I wonder how Chrome stays alive. The Kokuyo boys really need to feed her a goddamn sandwich. :( Maybe if her boobs got bigger she'd be able to kick ass suddenly. THE ADELHEID METHOD.

Byakuran doesn't even have to try to win at the Dick Olympics. He's just in the zone there.

AND ALL RIGHT, LET'S DO THIS MEME THING:











[identity profile] smilypie.livejournal.com 2010-07-15 01:37 am (UTC)(link)
\O/!

Seriously, the child needs a meal. Or I guess since she can have illusion-made organs she can ~*imagine*~ her stomach full? D8>
Or if she got a pantie-shot or 10. And...picturing Chrome with Adelheid-size boobs is scary. I suddenly realize that the one thing that didn't make Adelheid's cheat size too awkward was her height.

Wooo, this is gonna be fun 8D HOW DID I KNOW YOU'D PICK THAT LAST ONE?

[identity profile] makeste.livejournal.com 2010-07-15 01:44 am (UTC)(link)
IS THAT WHAT SHE'S DOING? IMAGINING HERSELF FOOD? OH GOD WHY DOES THAT ACTUALLY MAKE SENSE, CHROME WHY SO SNEAKY. :O True. And the recent chapters are kind of pushing the limits even for Adelheid. Still, Chrome ought to experiment; if she can illusion the food she can ILLUSION THE BREASTS.

IT CALLED TO ME FOR SOME REASON

[identity profile] smilypie.livejournal.com 2010-07-15 03:41 am (UTC)(link)
The power of illusions man, the power of illusions.
Sob when did this series get sexist;; And FFFF Chrome breast-growth experimenting, why does that sound like it would make a hilarious/creepy/disturbing/adorable fic??

I WONDER WHY

[identity profile] jesheslove.livejournal.com 2010-07-15 12:13 am (UTC)(link)
OHGOD THE DICK OLYMPICS XD I miss Byakuran so much, even is he IS a dick.

Also, MEME~♪

[identity profile] makeste.livejournal.com 2010-07-15 01:27 am (UTC)(link)
HE WAS A CLASSY DICK.

MEEEEME:











[identity profile] jesheslove.livejournal.com 2010-07-15 01:51 am (UTC)(link)
Yosh (^w^)b

Out of curiosity, who gets the silver and bronze medals?

[identity profile] makeste.livejournal.com 2010-07-15 01:55 am (UTC)(link)
AIZEN GETS THE SILVER APPARENTLY, and I have to say, I'm pretty sure the bronze goes to that charming gentleman in your icon there. CONGRATULATIONS, MR. SPADE.
Edited 2010-07-15 04:36 (UTC)

MEME

[identity profile] reana-camellia.livejournal.com 2010-07-15 01:39 am (UTC)(link)
#6 -> fskjdjflkasf Amano's art can kill somebody *____*
*dies from massive nosebleed*
To be honest Gokudera is not my favourite character, but that cover art pushed him very high into my list now why so shallow xD

#3 -> only Amano can make someone so adorable only by showing half of the head.

i love #1 and #2 too! It must be the color. xD

Re: MEME

[identity profile] makeste.livejournal.com 2010-07-15 01:52 am (UTC)(link)
IT WOULD BE A GOOD DEATH. And yeah, that image does wonders for his PR. XD

It is the cutest half of a head ever.

HERE IS YOUR MEME SELECTION FOR THIS EVENING:











Re: MEME

[identity profile] reana-camellia.livejournal.com 2010-07-15 02:25 am (UTC)(link)
Kishimoto can make fangirl screams only by showing ONE eye (and occasionally a sharingan) all the time *cough*Kakashi*cough*. It must be his personality xD

When the cover first came out, some dudes in MH forum loves the cover too: "I dislike Gokudera but wow that cover is gorgeous." <- something like that, i don't remember. Hahah even the boys want Gokudera xD

[identity profile] amcw177.livejournal.com 2010-07-15 09:28 am (UTC)(link)
#6 HELL YES.

And, yeah, I'm counting on this arc to give Chrome some proper heroine scenes where she can be awesome and stuff without help from anyone. That illusion!Yama has gotten my hopes up in that regard.

Meme me, plz? :D

[identity profile] makeste.livejournal.com 2010-07-15 06:41 pm (UTC)(link)
Adelheid's kickassness is a promising sign too. Maybe Amano's finally realized she's been giving the ladies the short end of the stick for too long.

Oh man, you have so many awesome icons; it was really hard to pick.











[identity profile] poisontea.livejournal.com 2010-07-15 05:03 pm (UTC)(link)
GOLD MEDAL BYAKURAN may be my favorite icon ever. S- So beautiful. ;w;

AND YES I REALLY HOPE FOR CHROME TO HAVE ACTUAL MOMENTS OF FLAT-OUT BADASSERY SOON. Please Amano let this wish come true!

Meme me, please! :D

[identity profile] makeste.livejournal.com 2010-07-15 06:50 pm (UTC)(link)
He looks so proud standing up there, listening to the Byakuran National Anthem. ;_;

*FINGERS CROSSED*

And here you go:













I love all your icons so much. *_*

[identity profile] felinaofl2.livejournal.com 2010-07-18 05:57 pm (UTC)(link)
*snickers* I love the double entendre of the Dick Olympics. Oh Byakuran, you were the biggest jerkass and greatest explosion of gay that I've met.

I can has meme? :)

[identity profile] makeste.livejournal.com 2010-08-06 03:34 am (UTC)(link)
Sob, I'm so sorry for taking TWO WEEKS to reply to this orz. *failfailfail*

Anyway, if you're still up for the meme:













...I really like Prussia okay. XD
