A larger bunch for once, thanks to Marishna's screencaps. Now you too, just like paperwhites and I have been doing, can play the intriguing game of "what's wrong with his face?" (I kid. It's pretty obviously the mouth.) Includes a whopping 46 icons with glasses from 2x05 "Adam", because PBs with glasses are in such short supply that people will cast any and every white male with glasses as James Potter. If anyone does that with Gorman I will laugh and laugh, but do what you want.



( you lie so lonely, listening to the silence of the graves )

Yeah, I am doing A Thing with mucking with colours. How could I do Feist and not do Emily? I couldn't, that's how. "Doctor Blind" is also the unofficial theme song of practically everything paperwhites and I are doing lately. I serendipitously found it in the Zunior easter-egg mix, although I have no excuse for not having heard it well before then. (In my pathetic defense, I had Metric confused with Controller.Controller, concerning whom my feelings are "meh.") Anyhow, Emily is hot, the end.



( My baby's got the lonesome lows, don't quite go away overnight. Doctor Blind, just prescribe the blue ones. )

Because the 11th anniversary of his death is on the 29th, and also because my icon-hunting mojo failed me when I looked for icon sets in the RP-iconiverse. The brushed-and-filtered-to-hell ones from LJ sources do not suit.



( The habits of a lifetime will lay you low into your grave, and when you're gone you take the whole world with you )

Yeah, tiny set even by my standards. But I was making these for myself so I thought I might as well post them. There are not enough icons of willowy Scandinavian dorks.



( oh you're so silent, Jens--well maybe I am, maybe I am )

Request by Chels, Swedish actress Lena Olin. Who has been in a lot of bad movies like Queen of the Damned, but she is still a hot Lady of a Certain Age.



( I ain't gonna argue with a dame like that )

I thought I'd already posted these, but evidently not. Everyone in the world has iconned Rachel McAdams but I like her in Slings & Arrows particularly. So there.



( gliding through the snowdrifts in a miniskirt )

I love her face and her voice and pretty much everything about her. Everybody should watch this video which is hypnotic, goofy, and very feminist all at once. If you have already seen it, watch it again. It's good for you.



( Can you hear, can you hear me now? I'm man-sized )

Joel Plaskett is a pretty dude, and in person he's even prettier than these photos suggest. Wholesome happy-guy pretty, big charming smile. Photographers, however, seem to all think he should do Blue Steel(tm) when they take his picture, and poor naive Joel just does it for them.



( I'd rather be deadly than dead any day )

Spanning from Wet Hot American Summer to the Veronica Mars guest spot. I included the ones from The Château because Paul is adorably schlubby there and there aren't enough PBs with glasses available, but there wasn't much I could do with the screencaps--the film is just shot way low-rent, and it looks bad even on the DVD. Not that I don't love it ("par ce que il est noir et adopté").



( lovers don't walk, lovers run, will you look what love has done? )

Another small batch, but she's so pretty that I feel no guilt. I know C has already decided on an Emily Dickinson PB but I'm just sayin Joanna Newsom could be good for that sort of distant unearthly character.



( I know you're a blonde sometimes, I know you fade )

I don't know why there aren't more icons of him, but there don't seem to be. (Correct me if I'm wrong, I'd love more.) I was all set to give up on using him for a PB, but I found screencaps so all was well.



( people get what they deserve, time is round and space is curved )

Geoffrey Tennant is basically Gregory House only with theatre instead of medicine. And with hallucinations instead of a bum leg. Think about it. Anyhow, icons of Fraser in his red serge are of even more limited RPG utility than Brutus icons, but everyone can use a wild-eyed dishevelled madman in their game.



( baby, it might sound dodgy now, but baby, let me assure you, it sounds great when you're dead )

"Claire. Claire Claire Claire. Claire with the hair." Grdevich plays a ridiculous bitch in Slings and Arrows but I have a crush on her hair and facial expressions so she got iconned. IS SHE NOT ADORABLE Y/Y. I could have gone on and done her appearances from the rest of the season but I got tired of capping. I may update this post in the future, though.



( sometimes I wish I was a pretty girl, so I could mmmmmph myself in the shower )

Tobias Menzies makes a lot of snarky faces. And he has big crooked teeth, which always makes me feel empowered as an orthodontically-challenged person. I'm sure the utility of these will be limited, but my rallying cry is "so what".



( when I hear the word 'security', I reach for my shotgun )

The notorious Keri Russell, self-hating corkscrew head. Fresh and innocent as a particularly incorruptible daisy, at least until the second season when she got tired of it. Then she made friends with a straightening iron and no one has cared about her since. Play to your strengths, Keri.



( time will destroy you like a Mexican god )

Sean, Sean, Sean. Cute guy, from the right angles. Got the Harry Potter cred. And yet finding icons of him is a task and a half. Many of these were made from low-quality caps of Cashback, a short film in which Sean has approximately three expressions. I did my best with them and will add more in the future.



( In the blitz they never closed, though they blew up half the roads... )

I have been using Chris Marquette for over a year now (!) for my baby, and the dude does not have enough icons. Some of these are better than others; many are completely unsuitable for my purposes (my character would never in a million years have green hair or an eyebrow ring, more's the pity) so I'm putting them up here.

I'm aware that a number of people use Chris for Neville Longbottom, which I personally cannot condone, but do what you want.

Yes, there are two #87s. No I am not going back to change all the numbers.



( there's a justice in this world, and I know just what she's called... )
