So anyway I have no idea if anyone is even still here, but if you are I have a question!<br /><br />Is there anyone who's read the Mahabharata about? Or who hasn't but wouldn't mind reading a piece of drivel I can't get out of my head? :D?<br /><br /><img src="https://www.dreamwidth.org/tools/commentcount?user=alias&ditemid=51987" width="30" height="12" alt="comment count unavailable" style="vertical-align: middle;"/> commentstag:dreamwidth.org,2009-04-15:69709:51739This is a post2011-10-05T20:43:52Z2011-10-05T20:46:19Zpublic2How long has it been since I posted anything? Anyway, <span style='white-space: nowrap;'><a href='https://torachan.dreamwidth.org/profile'><img src='https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png' alt='[personal profile] ' width='17' height='17' style='vertical-align: text-bottom; border: 0; padding-right: 1px;' /></a><a href='https://torachan.dreamwidth.org/'><b>torachan</b></a></span> asked me about some of my (DW) icons, so here they are. If anyone else wants to ask me about other icons, go for it.<br /><br /><img src="http://www.dreamwidth.org/userpic/220400/69709"><br />This one's been sitting in my pile for a long time. I don't use it all that much any more, and I can't remember in what context I picked it up, but I love the colours and the way there's a mask painted on her mask.<br /><br /><img src="http://www.dreamwidth.org/userpic/214800/69709"><br />This bit of the anime made me laugh out loud so I was really pleased when I ran into this icon. Basically, Ichigo is an idiot, and I use this icon when I'm being silly or I think someone else is being ridiculous. Also, I think about Rukia's 'Ichigo, you dumbass' face everytime I see it and it makes me happy.<br /><br /><img src="http://www.dreamwidth.org/userpic/47280/69709"><br />Aww, box-robots holding hands. This is my 'being supportive' or 'offering advice' icon. Also, I think it is adorable.<br /><br /><img src="http://www.dreamwidth.org/userpic/47152/69709"><br />Mostly this icon is still in rotation because the colours are pretty. Also, I like the parallel tracks converging in the distance, so it gets used for 'travel' and 'togetherness'-type comments. When I comment at all...<br /><br /><img src="http://www.dreamwidth.org/userpic/571628/69709"><br />Oh, hey, an icon I actually made myself. For a value of made that means 'cropped'... From <a href="http://dawnchapel.com/2010/07/firefox-has-crashed/">this webcomic panel</a>, which was lots of places on the interwebs for a while. It's still ridiculously cute and makes me smile so it's basically going to be in use forever.
