mcr: a kiss before she goes
1. Reply to this post with 'Icons!', 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 - allegedly - create a never-ending cycle of icon glee.


Renne picked:


So I talk about them here.


Right, so, the end of Sailor Moon Stars anime is brutal. I don't really know if it's more brutal than the manga or not, given that my favorite character from that storyline is Sailor (Heavy? Are we still using Heavy?) Metal Papillon. And my favorite scene is Kakyuu's death. ...why did this turn into a paragraph about how I am weirdly morbid? ANYWAY. WE WERE TALKING ABOUT THE ANIME. It's basically the closest thing to torture porn that you can, in good conscience, air on a Saturday morning. It doesn't come quite as close to the manga in the "rock falls, everybody dies" department, but that just gives us more time to beat the absolute shit out of the Starlights. I like my Starlights beaten shitless. ...I'm being told this is weird.


...ahahaha and now for something COMPLETELY DIFFERENT. Mister Rogers, okay. Mister Rogers is my childhood. I watched a lot of really classic TV as a kid - Sesame Street when it was still relatively Elmo-free, early Nicktoons - but I loved Mister Rogers most of all. He went to cool places and talked to cool people, and he was willing to try all sorts of things that white adult males might not necessarily want to be trying on television. He talked to kids, not at them. He wanted them to learn and build confidence, and he wrote all of those really endearing songs. If you need any more reason to love Mister Rogers, find the clip of him testifying to Congress about spending for public television on Youtube. Tell me you don't love him after that clip.


Gabe Saporta wishes he had boobies. That is my best guess as to what's going on here. Somewhere in my mind, I have an AU about Gabriela Cobra, the fierce-ass drag queen, and her new friend Willow Beckett, a MTF-to-be. And if you think that's weird, you should talk to [info]saintawesome sometime. So either it's that, or he raided Victoria's bunk, and this was taken five second before she clubbed him to death with her angry fists.


Mikeyway as a persecon from Chobits. Anyone who has ever been friends with [info]lovesongwriter or known her for a period longer than five minutes will be completely surprised to learn that this is her fault. I believe she said something about his off switch being in his ass. ...maybe I said it. ...no, no, definitely Bethy. NEXT.


Queen Adam of the planet Fabulous, commanding his army of gay dronebots, has come to assimilate us into fierceness. I, for one, welcome our new overlord (overlady?) and hir Bob Mackie shoulderpads. By the way, if that sentence made sense to you? Well then hi, there, Em.

Hi to you too :P

Icons! I want to play, because sleeping is for the WEAK.

Why the hell would you be sleeping at 1:30 in the morning, anyway? Do people even do that?

Alright, I will respect your wishes (THIS TIME) and will not pick any crackwhore icons:



Yes, that's right, it's the All Me All the Time* edition.

(* okay, I forgot the Pete one, shut up.)

I like my Starlights beaten shitless.

Oh me too. That's why I devoted an entire gallery of my little nerd website to just those images.

Yes, that is weird.

(And hi, icons! I wanna play!)

Naturally. Where do you think I shamelessly stole that cap from? ;)

(okay, like I could seriously not use this one, too)

Also, did the verdict ever come in on whether we're calling her Heavy Metal Papillon or just Metal Papillon?

I feel like there is a (possibly Ian-related) wank that I missed out on, here...?

Why wouldn't she be Heavy Metal Papillon?

(Granted I haven't seen any actual Sailor Moon manga in years so I don't remember what Takeuchi actually wrote her name as, but still. Fandom didn't just insert "Heavy" in there, did they?)
12th-Jul-2009 09:31 am (UTC)
Yeah, that was an Ian wank. Something about Naoko's materials (including the MC) not using the phrase "Heavy" at all? And it wasn't in the manga (maybe)? I don't remember this shit as well as I used to, old age being what it is...
12th-Jul-2009 09:37 am (UTC)
Google sez...

The musicals use "Heavy," the original manga does not.

So I kind of don't think it matters...?
12th-Jul-2009 09:43 am (UTC)
At the end of the day, it's one of those things that was way more important to me eight years ago. My brain still echoes from Ian's wank about why Demand was the only acceptable name for Demand/Demando/Diamond/everyone's favorite mental rapist.

13th-Jul-2009 12:53 pm (UTC)
