I'll Slash Anything (kinda).

[sevendials]

Everybody's doing it, I'll do it too.

Basically, once upon a day off some time back, I once again had writer's block. Instead of staring at my monitor doing MSTs, I had a certifiably stupid notion for which I should have been shot on general principle brilliant idea. This idea was that, as everyone else seemed to make icons for their OTPs, I'd do it too, because my OTP was easily as good as all the ones I'd seen knocking about the place and din't seem to have any icon-love at all.

Never mind that I didn't know quite what OTP stood for. I did know, however, that it was Youji and Ken and that, what the hell, I wanted to make icons anyway, they looked damned cute together and it wasn't like I had anything better to do, so why on Earth not?

Okay, I edited the images. The first one is really edited. Youji and Ken are together in the original images I took them from, but in both cases one half of the pairing came out looking a little crazy, so I just went for the decent pictures and brought them together. And I edited out a load of speech bubbles and drew half Ken's shirt. In the second two the guys were already next to one another - I just brought them a little bit closer. Well, I had to, she said, clinging to holier-than-thou jusifications in a desperate attempt to camoflage her true dark slash fanatic's intentions. I only have a 100 x 100 canvas to play with, I can't be doing with empty space...

It's totally incidental that I happen to think Youji and Ken look damned cute together. And anyway Kyoko Tsuchiya agrees with me going by a lot of her artwork, she has them stand rather too close to one another a lot and OMGTHERELUVISSEWCANON!!!1!111!1!one!!

*stuffs Inner Slash Fangirl in a closet* Ignore her, she's a loony. Um... Icons!

Why do I have so many similar images, only with different text underneath? Because I like it like that. Because I thought of far too many captions and didn't have enough patience to sit there making OTP icon images all afternoon. But mainly it was because I wanted to.

If anyone out there is crazy enough to want to take any of these icons (or, in fact, any of my icons, all of which were made by my own fair hands which is why they're none of them all that great) and use them, feel free. I won't be beating a path to lj_abuse with pitchforks and firebrands as a result, complaining that someone has 'stolen' my 'art'. I mean, god damn, they're only icons. They're little 100 x 100 glyphs which took me little enough effort to make, and they're not even animated.

Besides, I'd be kinda pleased if this wasn't just my OTP, yaknow?

No problem - take as many as you like. I'm only using a couple of them at the moment so I've got absolutely no problem with you using a few of them. Glad to hear you like them, by the way. I was thinking of posting them to yoken, but the comm's so dead that it seems a bit of a weird thing to do. Maybe I should try and revitalize it with the sheer force of my fangirlishness?

I've thought Youji and Ken looked, acted and were hot together for a long time - it's just a shame so few other Western fans see this. I'm a weirdo in a room full of Ran x Ken fans. Which just means I have to shout louder to be heard, so all hail noisy fangirls of unconventional pairings.... Oh, and you wouldn't happen to remember whereabouts I could find this dump ice down your underpants fic, do you? I'm feeling the sudden need for Weiss porn. ^^

Yes I remember... the series of fics are named after Pat Benetar songs.

Here is the link:

The first fic in the series is called
Shadows of the night.

I hope you enjoy it....I know I did.
Hugs

That's funny - well, maybe more like coincidental. I have the strangest feeling that I ran into that arc's author in marysues the other day. The individual in question admitted to writing "a whole arc once based around Pat Benatar songs, but that was a joke that got out of hand."

Curious.

Actually, for a change, I do know! Wow, makes me feel organized. I snagged the timetable off Firstclass before the site went down (perhaps because I went on placement two weeks ago and started thinking college-like thoughts long before anyone who didn't have to go back and pretend to be diligent on a colorectal ward did). Kind of a relief to see I have it, actually, because I thought I'd just looked at it and decided that I'd saved it later. Anyway, here's Monday's timetable (and apologies in advance if it comes out scrambled)...

10:00 - 13:00 Formative 3-hour MCQ KG-lec A
14:00 - 16:00 Orthopedic Emergencies KG-lec A

Two things. If you think I give a shit about revising for a 3-hour formative MCQ you're whistling Dixie, London South Bank, I've only got four days off after my make-up time finishes and I intend to cherish them from the very depths of my heart and soul which means I will not be spending them buried in Marieb, thank you. Second, I think the room code means the ground floor of the Kewyworth Center, lecture theater A.

[devida.livejournal.com]

thank you. really. originally i thought that South Bank didn't give a shit about us, but now i have no doubt, they really do not give a shit about us!
this is crazy. how are they supposed to get in contact with people?
and by the way, i'm whistling dixie too. not because i'm refusing to flick through Marieb [even though i will briefly, at some point] but due to the Dukes of Hazzard film and the whole hurricane business my state needs a lot of love right now.
i think i even have a confederate flag somewhere. i mean, who said T-girls can't be southern? You can take the girl out of Louisiana after all but...
