icon meme + erm, why 2/5 of former guns n' roses members must fail me? *sigh*

[janie_tangerine]

First thing, icon meme from isis2015!

1) Reply to this post and I will pick five of your icons. (stating that you want to play so I know)
2) Make a post (including this 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.





^ That's my FNL ship. From the beginning until the ends of time. Jason -> my favorite character, Tim -> love him nonetheless, that quote -> best thing ever on that show and I had to use that. I'm also quite happy of how it came out. God, I need to catch up with FNL.



Heeee, that's my Michael/Walt icon. And I regret not knowing who made it because I really want to give credit for it, but I needed to use that. I find it just so incredibly amusing, especially since having seen Finding Nemo at least three or four times the joke just makes me crack every time I look at this.



Erm, that's my Kate icon. While I don't really like her, I realized at one point that I needed a Kate icon (especially when I wrote her a couple of times) and this one is just so pretty. I really love the composition, the coloring and how soft it looks. And the text. If I need a Kate icon, I'll choose one I like, right?



Oh, this one. I absolutely like the concept, it's so original, and the composition is great. Also, works good for Boone/Charlie any time I want to write it, since they're both dead and alive in this. And I do have such a soft spot for that pairing, I wish I wrote it more.



Castiel! Well, I'm really digging the character right now, and happens that this icon is sooo pretty. And it has four Castiels on it and that's a major pro on choosing it ;)





Okay, I'll cut this very short, but God. WTF are (sadly former) Guns n' Roses doing? :// Apart from Duff and Slash (and I do hope they find a new singer fast for Velvet Revolver, though I'm really sad it ended how it did. I loved VR. And I still like Scott Weiland btw), God. Okay, Izzy is all good and fine except that the latest record was kinda meh (I mean, take two years but do a proper one with songs with proper lyrics. But I'm digressing), but...

Looks like Chinese Democracy is out! And there's an entire song on I guess the official site, I heard it and it sucks. There isn't a good thing about it. It SUCKS. If the whole record is like that, I'll just wonder what's happened to Axl's song writing if it took him seventeen years to release such crap. And no, I never really liked the guy and never thought he represented GNR and everything (hey, fuck, I listen to GNR because I like the other four, not him) so that doesn't help the thing, but God. I'm so not buying it.

And then today I read my FL and I find out that Steven Adler is on a VH1 program to try to do rehab rightly...? Dear Steve, I really do like you and I always thought you shouldn't have been fired and you had an incredible amount of bad luck, but if you couldn't do it in eighteen years, I doubt you'll make it on a TV program. What a waste.

I'm SO bored. Gimme some icons, haha.

That Nemo/Michael icon is simply priceless! :D

I don't have that many icons (stupid plus account), but I can never resist a meme! Gimme!

Your Finding Nemo Michael icon NEVER fails to make me smile. It's too awesome, seriously. If we ever find who it was that made it, they need to be worshipped endlessly.

And I don't actually have that many icons, but if you wanted to pick five I'd totally have fun rambling about them.

Sadly I know nothing about Guns n' Roses so I can't comment on that section of your post at all. :/

The Nemo icon is one of my favourites. I think it was made by the FSM. Great quote on the FNL one. I got a Kate icon for the same reason you did. The Charlie/Boone is also very nice. I liked all the ones in that luau series.

Sorry to hear about the GNR angst.

Speaking of icons… If you ever make anymore Pushing Daisies ones, would you be able to make me a pigby/digby one? There is a scene in the latest episode where they meet. If you're up for it I could find you a screen cap. If not - no worries!

Slash and Duff spent a long time doing most of the publicity for VR, so I reckon they're probably enjoying having lower profiles at the moment! I hope they work things out with VR. There'll be a singer out there for them, and I never much liked Scott Weiland at all (all of Axl's ego, none of Axl's talent) so I'm actually quite glad they're rid of him. Plus we have Slash's solo album to look forward to...

As for Izzy...he's always been his own man.

GN'R...have you not heard the leaks from June? I'd say Chinese Democracy is one of the weaker songs, and the new version is just a bit too layered and oversaturated, if that's the word. The leak was a bit rawer, though it still took ages to grow on me. But it's a straight up rock song. I really want the album to do well as I love Axl, he's one of the best rock vocalists there's been, and I think the songs are brilliant, but I worry that the average person isn't going to 'get' them, or is just going to bitch about Slash no longer being in the band. If you don't like Axl himself I'm not sure how much you'd take to it, but you can't deny the other guys in the band are very talented and they're trying their own things, not just living in the '80s and trying to emulate Slash. At least you can say each song is unique!

I feel bad for Steven Adler too. He's a real mess and although, logistically, firing him was a good idea, I can only imagine how it must have affected him personally. He's still bitter about it. He did an interview a year or so ago and didn't come across too well. Drugs have ruined him.

I'm going to spend an hour laughing my ass off at your Nemo icon. Best. Icon. Ever. LOLOLOLOLOLOL. The Charlie/Boone one is outstanding. Wow. I adore it.

Ooh, I'll play the icon meme. :)

And out of morbid curiousity, I went and listened to the song. And AUGH. What IS that?!
