Long time no post. Sorry! I'm still alive though. Yep, so I haven't posted in over a year and THIS is what I chose to post.

"How can you think of food at a time like this? This is the darkest hour in the history of MacDonald Hall! Our world is crumbling around us!"

Such is the characteristic speech of Bruno Walton. The Bruno & Boots/MacDonald Hall series by Gordon Korman is, quite possibly, my favorite books of all time ever and ever. They are sadly out of print but if you can somehow get your hands on one, or an ebook, you should try them.

examples:


( It caused a stampede in the hall and I was almost trampled! )

New love.

28 icons of The Big Bang Theory, most of them are text icons. But I hope to have more time for icons of screencaps later!

Examples:

So this is ridiculously old, but I realized I never posted this. A Jason Bateman wallpaper and 7 icons cropped from it. yup.

Samples:

Back when I was in middle school, my best friends and I (who I still kept in touch with) thought that Josh Hartnettt was THE COOLEST THING IN THE WORLD. He definitely was one of my first celebrity crushes ever. When my friends and I (and probably a multitude of other prepubescent girls around the world) were crushing on him, I found this magazine article he was in, "21 Hottest Stars Under 21." Now I'm about to graduate college, and Josh is nearing 30. But guess what. Even though he may not have had what I'd call an illustrious movie career, what with Pearl Harbor, and 40 Days and 40 Nights... he's still great.

LOYALTY, MAN.


20 Josh Hartnett icons

Examples:
04. 16. 20.

Another Y the Last Man manip, not because I thought this was actually a good idea, but mostly just because I felt compelled to make it. Not that that statement made much sense, either.



( full size and references )

yeah anyway.

Because I can't be bothered making a separate journal for other kinds of fanworks, I've long abandoned this being just an icon journal. This is kind of a place for me to dump fan-related creative works type things, so here are a bunch of posters that I made out of manips, to post to fanposters.

I've decided that nothing would make me happier than seeing Zachary Levi (of "Chuck") play Yorick, of Y: The Last Man.

Okay, so... enjoy my first attempt at fan posters. *shrug again*

21 Arrested Development & 10 Jason Bateman icons. A few of the Arrested Development ones are variations. AND YAY, MORE JASON BATEMAN! :D

Examples:
08. 15. 31.

( Te amo hermano! )

Jason Bateman. BATEY. I'm not sure I can really convey how much I love him. I'll just... let you guys look at the wallpaper then.

So, here's a wallpaper and 10 icons (all cropped from the wallpaper) of Jason Bateman.

Oh, and eelrak, I totally used that one picture cause you said it was amazing. :D



Icon examples:
03. 08.

( Wallpaper downloads and icons... HERMANO. )

Icons from all over the place in the issues of New X-Men (formerly New X-Men: Academy X, but yeah, for the sake of keeping everything straight - the non-Grant Morrison stuff.) Hehe, I love these series!

24 New X-Men icons

Examples:
07. 19. 21.

Interest icons for my friends who answered my ridiculous Jarrod Washburn poll:

solookup, hazy_crazy, screaming_blur, babykalina, helplessdancer, milesof_martyrs, bullpenbrat22, eelrak, useyourlove, bilateralism, 07six10, khover

( 16 interest icons )

Shia LaBeouf & Ricky Ullman icons, how I love them in their Dodgers gear! I am still an Angels fan, don't get me wrong! But I am probably one of very, very few southern California residents who actually cares about baseball and doesn't feel shame in supporting both teams... The Angels have my heart (I feel a fair bit of guilt posting these icons), but I also love the Dodgers.

And so, I have a bunch of icons of my favorite little Disney Channel "lonely Jews on Christmas" in Dodgers gear... though not all of the icons are of Dodgers stuff!

26 icons total, some of them are variations.

Examples:
07. 09. 14.

( Shia & Ricky & Dodgers )

INTEREST ICONS

For hermzie, hazy_crazy, starstillwonder, walkwiththedead, peeandsee, bilateralism

I first read this book years ago, and I still love it. 20 quote icons from The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald.

Examples:
03. 07. 15.

( 20 GREAT GATSBY ICONS )

This is a fanmix for Twilight and New Moon, mostly centered around Bella and Edward, but with a little bit of Jacob thrown in too. I used Gaspard Ulliel for Edward and Emily Browning for Bella... because just because.

This show has changed my life. It has changed my life, I tell you.

I don't know this icon set makes it painfully obvious or just slightly obvious who my favorite character is, but yeah, you can go ahead and take a stab at it :D It should be a easy guess.

24 South Park icons, 8 of which are quote icons.

Examples:
08. 13. 24.

( Come on down to South Park )

EDIT: #21 had a typo, and I corrected it! Thanks for pointing it out.

Finally caught up on the new show Traveler! So, here are 12 Traveler icons, mostly Aaron Stanford because he is cute and short. These icons are in no order whatsoever and are up to the current episode (6).

A note, before I move on any further: this icon batch is dedicated to hazy_crazy for fueling the craziness of the "customer testimonial." Awesome!

Examples:
02. 06. 10.

( 12 Traveler icons, plus a surprise testimonial from a satisfied customer )

Fifteen 24 icons. Took me forever to finally post these. Some of these are really old. They go up to the most recent season 6, so, I guess they might be spoilery.

Examples:
01. 04. 14.

( CLICK THE CUT DAMN IT THERE ISN'T TIME!!!!!!!!!!! )

I made some icons that will not be received by a wide audience. In other words, icons no one wants.

12 icons of Kelly Jones from Stereophonics. It's not even the whole band. Sorry. :( Yup. Just Kelly. *snort* I've said it before, but I must reiterate: that's a woman's name. *snicker* Kelly. Amazing voice, great hair, awful teeth. Pretty, albeit very short... I just realized something. He's like... David Eckstein/Chone Figgins-sized. O___o

Examples:
02. 03. 09.

( It is a woman's name, isn't it? )

I made my first, and most likely last, fanvid: Heroes meets South Park. Peter Petrelli attempts to stop Sylar's most nefarious scheme yet.

No copyright infringement intended. Everything used belongs to their respective creators and any resemblances you may find to actual people, living or dead, shows you have strange friends.

Spoilers: Contains scenes from the latest Heroes episodes, so be warned if you're particular about spoilers! No audio though, so if you don't care, or if you've seen all the episodes, please check this out for me!



Notes: This came from a post I made in my journal awhile back, here (which I haven't unlocked yet so don't worry if you can't see it).

This is my very first fanvid, and I wasn't exactly going for perfection. I just wanted to amuse myself, so yes, I know that it's all choppy and whatnot. Oh well. Hopefully, it made someone laugh, and that was pretty much all I was going for.
