1. Reply to this post with "UNICORNS", 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 create a never-ending cycle of icon glee.

Icons selected by lovely aadarshinah


1.
I love this icon :D I think my favorite thing is the little heart on his cheek, but this icon basically shows my love for Rodney, who's my favorite ♥

2.
McShep is my OTP, and this is an amazing scene between the two. Especially poignant because of John's line, "Just face it Rodney - you're stuck with me." Stuck forever :P

3.
I wanted an SGA icon that wasn't based on my ship(s), and this was the one I chose. The colors are gorgeous and we see a nice, distant view of Atlantis. So much pretty!

4.
I named this one, "Here comes trouble." John and Rodney are nothing if not troublemakers :D I like to think they prank each other on Atlantis - the idea that they have fun together by pranking others and even each other, makes me smile. (Though poor Elizabeth). And they definitely cause trouble offworld (poor Ronon and Teyla lol). I just adore how they're peeking over the edges of the icon XD

5.
This is my icon for when I'm excited XD The original fanart this came from was adorable; look at little Rodney with his flaily arms and his foaming mouth! So cute \o/

ah, I'm lovely. *blushes* I still can't decide if #1 or #2 is my fav of your icons, but I def agree with your reasoning on both.

[popkin16]

You really are.

I think I like the second one better, but that's only because my love for McShep just barely surpasses my love for Rodney alone.

I'm glad you agree with my reasoning :P

*nods sagely* The ship is greater than the sum of it's parts.

[popkin16]

Yes! Exactly so! :D

Yes! I have wisdom and loveliness! All I need now is a British accent and my life will be complete. :)

[popkin16]

LOL If you had all that and a British accent you could RULE THE WORLD, I think.

Um, unicorns? :-)

Because how can I resist talking about ICONS!! I have such icon love!

I've always loved your default icon and you're 'foaming at the mouth one'. When I see those, I know it's *you*. :-)

Your Atlantis one is gorgeous though...

*pick me pick me*

[popkin16]

XD I was just thinking about changing my icons up, to be honest. I'm limited to 15, so I tend to change them out to provide a little variety.

IT WAS SO HARD TO CHOOSE. I try to pick a variety of icons, not just the McShep ones, but there were a couple McShep ones I would have loved to hear you say a line or two about :P

And I shall be a benevolent ruler... at first.

[sgamadison.livejournal.com]

You are always welcome to select 'bonus' icons. *coughsnotthatIwanttotalkaboutmyiconsoranything*

:-)

The limited to 15 thing was one of the main reasons I got a paid account on LJ--then I was gifted with additional user pics and I went nuts.

Having to pick and chose which ones to delete and keep *kills* me. I try to leave one slot open at all times, just so I can tell myself I have more space if needed. :-)

[popkin16]

The bonus icons I wanted to hear you talk about were the Pentapus ones (mostly). Why you chose those particular ones and so on :P But if you feel up to it: Cute John and Rodney / Rodney's doughnut / RunTeam / Sexy

Variety? What variety?

I have no monies or I'd buy more icon space :P But I don't worry about it too much, because 15 is a fairly decent number.

Ooo, such a smart idea! Leaving one slot open is brilliant :P I do a complete sweep and re-choose 15 new icons when I feel it's time for a change. I collect icons, see, so I have thousands of them.

[sgamadison.livejournal.com]

The changing part is the problem for me, because I have this ridiculous habit of trying to chose an icon as close as possible to the commenter's icon. :-) So if I change, that goes to the default icon--whioh matters to no one but me! *facepalm*

*rubs hands together in anticipation* Not that I should be playing right now. I have to go to work, but I will be thinking about this all day, a lovely distraction to the horror that is usually a Monday at work. Thank you!

UNICORNS!

But I'll ask you to pick from my icons on Dreamwidth, since I've only got this one left on LJ.

[popkin16]

I don't know if you mean your juniperfan account or your junniperberry account. So this is a mix of both?

Sorry if this is inconvenient!

[sparklyfanta.livejournal.com]

Nah, it's fine.

Here, have a meme post!

*dramatic music plays*

Remind me to stay on your good side, O Benevolent One.

[popkin16]

Oh, that's an interesting habit. I try not to use the same icon in a row, lol. And if I use a Sheppard one, I try to pick a Rodney one next.

You're welcome! Thanks for participating ♥

[aadarshinah.livejournal.com]

That's okay. I'm not the kind of person who'd want be be in charge anyway. I think I'd rather prefer being the power in the shadows behind the throne. Or the Minister of War. That could be fun too.

[sgamadison.livejournal.com]

I admit, it's a strange habit, one that is probably going to be defeated by your current icon here...

*studies icon list and taps lower lip thoughtfully before choosing*

[popkin16]

Now I'm going to be paying more attention to the icons that you reply with!

[popkin16]

I'm not really one for leading either, tbh. Minister of War sounds pretty cool!

[sgamadison.livejournal.com]

*grins*

Okay--but you've just given me an excuse to go icon shopping! :-)

[popkin16]

I regret nothing!

[honeybearbee.livejournal.com]

:D I have a perm account and I love icons, so before that I always paid for more. I HAVE A LOT OF ICONS IN MY FOLDERS. >.>

I will do this! :D
