calliopes_pen | The Icon Meme

Reply to this post with "PORGS!" and I will pick three of your icons for you to talk about in your own journal, and then keep the meme going by making this offer on your post.

Also, feel free to ask about any others of mine, even while I’m getting to yours. Or shout "icon" or "purple prose" if "porgs" is too odd.

And because I wasn’t paying attention at a particular moment and happened to see it twice, I called out “Porgs!” at the same person twice. So here are six as a result, as I answer

misbegotten.

This one was made by Roniabirk, and I believe it was one of the first icons I ever uploaded over on Livejournal. It is Numfar, played by Joss Whedon himself, doing the Dance of Joy over in an episode of Angel.

This was made by Day_dream_girl1. It’s merely the Tenth Doctor, admiring Donna. I rarely use this one anymore.

Ah, yes. “Save me from the purple prose!” was made by

sallymn. This icon was almost the default icon for

hidden_passages, but I decided “It was a dark and stormy story” (also made by

sallymn) fit the tone better. That’s one of my favorites. I had no idea what the image was from, so I went back to the post I saved it from and followed the link to Women Running From Houses. I never could find out which one it was.

And the other three:

“It’s not proper mad science until it wears goggles.” That would be Egon from one of the issues of the Ghostbusters comics. Camwyn made it.

This would be Peter Wingfield as Methos. There was a time when he actually did seem to fit the role of the Doctor, though. Beeej made it. The episode of Highlander: The Series where that originates might be The Modern Prometheus, but I’m not certain.

Betterthanlegos made this one. It’s just Meggan and Nightcrawler from the original Excalibur comic book, having what appears to be either a cup of coffee or a cup of hot chocolate.

The Methos one (which, thank you, sent me on a weird youtube trip where i found some fun things) could be TMP, but the colors don't look right. The only other episode I know of in a similar timeframe is 'Indiscretions' and his jacket is black in that one. I suppose it could possibly be from either of the horseshit movies no one ever talks about (Endgame and The Source), but I have less than zero desire to look up either of them to check.

This, however, is where I ended up on Youtube, and god i love these actors: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AXrvxBvr1Cs

From what I recall of Endgame, the flashbacks were mostly to Duncan's years, and Methos was barely there. I could be mistaken, but I don't think (I only watched it once, and never want to watch it again, either) he had any flashbacks in The Source.

I really don't know which episode it could have been, then. I briefly wondered if it was from the series Queen of Swords, but the hair isn't right I realized following a Google search. It feels more like a Highlander icon.

It looks like it's QoS based on this gif ->

- the polka dots on his vest seem to match.

I think I've seen Endgame twice and The Source only once - I can't bring myself to get anywhere near either again. Far too disappointing.
