If you know tabletop, you’ve got the general idea, a group goes on a collaborative story-telling adventure while pretending to be different characters. There is… capslock.Īre you ready for the main course, sir/ma’am?ġ00 MATCHING ICONS OR ELSE: ROLEPLAY ICON USE. An icon rant community moderator locks their community.
The application process for one of the elite icon-making communities.

Harry and Ginny - THEY BROKKED UP!) and the icon in full animated glory: So, if there is anyone out there who missed it, please allow me to refresh your memory. And that’s before we bring in the commissions!įor your entree, a rant about the use of tiny fonts in icons: and a sarcastic gif icon about one of the popular hypersaturation techniques: Both served from the early 2010s barrel.Ī multi-page rant about how a Harry Potter ship icon is misleading, that skims the fact the icon itself is using Harriet Tubman as a background image (a preview: What bugs me about such avatars is that they give the impression that certain people missed that little bitty break-up scene at the end of HBP. There were communities for hating on the elite communities. There were elite icon maker communities you had to apply to enter. There were flame wars and anonymous hate posts. “But did anyone care about this, seriously? There wasn’t actual drama about this sort of thing-” Oh they cared. Everyone had an opinion, a style, a look. There was a time 45x45 pixels was the ‘in’ thing. Take that anime and crank up those values!
Hypersaturation was the key to the early look. Depending on the community, you might be the height of fashion or rocking white after Labour Day with your use of borders. Finally, borders became gauche, and you would let your icon hang borderless. For a while, only a pariah would go without a delicate one pixel border around your icon. (Side-note: I’m not censoring out names here because all accounts are dead, and most of them died 15-20 years ago.Ī brief overview of some icon trends over the years: Īround 2004, many icons included tiny, intentionally unreadable text. And yes, I found some old drama with images for you youngins to experience. Unfrost your 90s tips, take off that black lace choker and join me in the early 2000 internet culture. That’s right, I’m here to talk about LIVEJOURNAL ICON DRAMA. You wouldn’t do that, would you? Have an unaesthetic, imperfectly balanced icon? Of course not! Everyone would judge you if you had 3 uneven pixels! No one here would ever be some sort of … 98x97 pixel peasant. Back to the days of dial-up and ADSL, before Tumblrs and Tweets and Tik-Toks, when most of fandom was congregated in one location and your precious online self-representation came in the form of 3 little images, sized 100x100 if you knew what was good for you. I added MORE JUICY DRAMA SCREENCAPS so if you read it before, you can search for “NEW:” and check out the new drama such as ‘Harriet Tubman animated icon defending Harry Potter shipping’ and ‘an icon commissioner doesn’t fulfill an order for five months, with public mudslinging from both sides.’ ) Leave a comment and I'll make one for you.Note: This was originally on scuffles. Also, if you can't find an icon in your language, you should visit more often. If I made any mistakes (spelling or otherwise), please leave a comment and I will fix the icons in question as soon as possible. I had to consult my good friend, The Internet, for many of the greetings included here. ( Have you been naughty or nice this year? Collapse ) Your comments and suggestions are always welcome and much appreciated. I hope you'll like the icons and Happy Holidays everyone!Ĭredits for various graphics resources and tutorials are located here. I chose 27 languages based on the number of visitors. Since my journal gets visited by people from all over the world, I thought it would be fun to make some "holiday greetings" icons in different languages.

Not as many as I wanted, but I simply don't have enough free time at the moment to make more. I didn't want my fandoms to feel completely left out of the winter/holiday fun so I also included a few Twilight and Veronica Mars icons. :-)īehind the lj-cut you will find 66 icons. But it sure feels like it's already here with all the holiday icons that I've made in the last couple of weeks. So, guess what? Christmas has come early this year. The cold winter evenings are perfect for making icons. Sanya4It's been exactly one week since the first snow of this season had fallen over here.
