OOC meme-age

[dirk_gently]

Yoinked from Hips, altered/stolen idea from Crane.

1. One icon that makes you automatically think of me.
2. One icon that you think should really be used more often.
3. One icon that you don't get/needs more explanation/you have no idea why I have it.
4. Comment using an icon of yours that you love, and tell me why you picked that one too.
5. What should I make a new icon of?

1. It's a nice one.
2. He can complain about how you're gonna turn him into a kitty.
3. Heh.
4. Bwhahahahaha. Fangirls are new for him.

2. Only if he can figure out how to type with paws. };D *laughs maniacally*
4. They are, and he's thrilled, but it's still a little wierd to him. Now if Hips would run up and hug him the way Mel does he'd be thrilled, because, well, cleavage. Plus she's closer to his age.
I don't count as a fangirl because I don't do the squealy girly thing, right? I'm an angry dyke. Grrr.

Yeah, I really need to go back and bold the linework on the dirkitty icons.

2. It's OOC! And he could, like, type one letter at a time.
4. Heee. Mel will want to pet him and hug him when he's a kitty. And Mel has... tiny boobs. Which will probably get bigger, because EVERYBODY in my/her family that's female has huge honkers. She also works for Hellsing, which is an anime/manga, and all the girls gots hooters, too.

Also, you can be one, even if you don't squee.

I like them as they are. *shrug*

2. Yeah, I have way too many thoughts about stuff to do when he's a cat. How sad is that, when I've barely played him as he is.
4. Well Mel is jailbait age, so he doesn't think of her that way. And...ergh. Yeah. Dirk would probably find my boobage pretty sad. Curse you and your boobage genes. Anime girls are also anorexic, which gets obnoxious. I've only seen the first couple eps of Hellsing.

I've really never considered myself one, partly because as near as I can tell, the fangirling involves wanting your Mary Sue to be with the character. I don't mean that in a judgemental way, I came into the world of online-dom by way of fanfic writers, and I have seen some damn good Mary Sues that really don't deeserve that title. My interest always lies directly in playing the character. Mebbe I'm just too butch for my own good or something. Or maybe I misunderstand fangirl motives.

I feel like this whole last batch of icons lost a lot when they got sized down. The originals were drawn bigger, so the linework shrunk too much along with the rest of the pictures.
But, yanno, I'm picky about my own art.

2. He would have to eat catnip. Definetly.
4. The boobs aren't fun, man. If you ever get hit in the chest, it HURTS and if you go on a bumpy road and your bra doesn't fit right they bounce, which hurts, too.

One of the things I like about Hellsing is that the girls are pretty without being anorexic. Seras has meat on her bones without being fat, and Integra is badass.

As for the fangirly stuff- well, that's a good bit of it, but not all. Mostly it involves glomping, and squeeing. And there's nothing wrong with being a butch.

You're your own worst critic. GET DIRK TURNED INTO... DIRKITY.
