Iconic Meme

I got this from [livejournal.com profile] cereta

Go to my icons, and pick one. I'll tell you (a) what the icon is/means/etc, and (b) one thing I love about the person (or other entity) in that icon. I shall then pick one of your icons for the same.

When I wrote a lot of LOTR fic I wrote a fair bit of interspecies, usually featuring Boromir or Faramir being climbed by one or both of the gentlehobbits in the icon I'm using for this comment. (This is because, among other reasons, because Sean Bean's Boromir was so noble and conflicted and human and beautiful that I wanted to give him as many orgasms as possible. I get that way about characters I love.) So I wanted an icon of Boromir being leapt on by hobbits, and that one came with a hilarious Simpsons quotation. Bonus!

As for your lovely icons: I was going to ask about Steph, but then I saw you had a Twi'lek! So, please tell me about the lass of "Aishie Sez - Wall Time (Kotor -OC)"

If you have not yet played Knights of the Old Republic, you must! But I will write this comment presuming you haven't.

Basically it's this game by the lovlies at Bioware who set it 4,000 years before the movies, so they had all this range to play with and the Jedi Order and all the different things you can fiddle around with.

I think it's my most loyal fandom, even though it's not too loyal back (tarts).

Anyway, a long long time ago in a galaxy here, I and a bunch of authors in the fandom started this kind of RP which sort of evolved into it's own collabrative giant writing piece.

And now in it's (hopefully drama free) final development at [livejournal.com profile] thedrunkside (you can stare at the pretty, but I doubt even if you did play the game you'd know crap about what's going on).

Anyway, the Twi'lek. Basically I made up some OCs that I always like doing that developed their own life. She is one of them. And since I APPARENTLY have a nasty habit of killing off my female characters (too many comic books for me, I think) - this is one that's stuck around. She's a pink Twi'lek, because those are my favorite. And she's pretty much a very strong, determined kind of person who doesn't have an exceptional amount of Force talent, but uses her training to really put herself involved to advance in as many areas as she can. And she likes to wear white.

What I like about that icon is that I did the manip all by myself (it's Rachel McAdams) and that Aishie is very easily an older-sister type to any of the boys hanging around if they fit the right mold. She's very Jedi in a lot of ways, but still manages to be kind of a cocktease without realizing it.

And good god, here I was thinking it was good you didn't pick Steph, because I might ramble.

Apparently IMPOSSIBLE TO NOT DO for me.

OK, this is *wonderful*. I love the fictional universes people come up with, and I did find KotOR interesting when I was reading the comment.

! OMG, flee from me before I beg you to manip Inara Serra as a Minoan lady. Because that's an *awesome* manip.
