1. Comment to this entry saying 'Ooo Shiny!' and I will pick 3 of your icons/userpics.
2. Make an entry in your own journal (or just reply if you prefer) and talk about the icons I picked!

First, three selected by [personal profile] teigh_corvus:

This one is a quote from Dracula (1968). Seward has had enough of all of Van Helsing’s supernatural discussions. I’ll quote myself, because I remembered that someone else selected this one in the past:

This is a wonderful line that Seward shouted at Van Helsing in Dracula (1968) during everything that goes down with Lucy being bitten by Dracula, and Seward didn’t want to hear Van Helsing. Well, not until later, when a particular illustration looked just like Dracula, and then it was Van Helsing denying it could be possible. The icon was made by [personal profile] thisbluespirit.

This is a really old one, from back when I was still new to the Doctor Who fandom, and only using Livejournal. Jack and Rose, dancing in front of Big Ben in the middle of a London air raid. I meant to delete it long ago, but never had. Made by atellix.

Again, this is something from Dracula (1968). One of the illustrations presented from one of Van Helsing’s books. Seward realizes that Dracula is their vampire from it, while Van Helsing at first doesn’t think so, unwisely thinking Seward is just jealous of Dracula at first. The icon was made by [personal profile] thisbluespirit.

Three selected by [personal profile] musyc:

While I’m not a fan of Winnie the Pooh or any of his friends, I did like this particular Yuletide focused icon. I just never find a need to use it, probably due to having numerous Yuletide focused ones. Made by [personal profile] chomiji.

This icon is a quote from the Dracula novel, from when Jonathan Harker is in the castle, and has only just met the Count. The exact quote is this: “I am all in a sea of wonders. I doubt; I fear; I think strange things, which I dare not confess to my own soul. God keep me, if only for the sake of those dear to me!” He thinks it after being told that his bedroom is ready, and that he can sleep late if he likes.

This is distressing to Jonathan, it seems (and comes right after he’s made nauseous from the Count’s breath, so that and the wolves howling got to him). The icon was made by [personal profile] thisbluespirit.

This is the cover of one of many gothic novels. I have no idea which particular novel it would originate from. It was made by [personal profile] sallymn, and honestly feels like a good fit for [community profile] hidden_passages.

I’ll be answering all of those questions for the Fifteen Characters Meme tomorrow. Feel free to toss a few more into the fray before I get to them if you like!
