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.

Pippin is one of the most distinct characters I've ever met, and I love him. And unlike the fanon conception of him, he can TOO think! As someone many people expect to be unable to think (I'm Black, female, and giggle overmuch) I really wanted that icon as soon as I saw it.

Your icons are wonderful, you know. I had to restrain myself for asking about, among others, Gimli, Bashir, and the bare leg of "Gondor needs no pants". Instead I will ask about a character I've adored for over a decade: "Garak squee"

*nods* re: Pippin. I agree wholeheartedly - he's always been one of my favorite hobbits, for precisely those reasons.

I think I like Garak because he is so complex. That inability to be pinned down is really appealing to a philosopher like me. He is not truly good, but nor is he truly evil. But he is definitely serious, and that *squee* is such a juxtaposition, it was an icon that grabbed my attention almost immediately. (The one I'm using for this post is rather similar in that way, but with a slightly different emotion.)
