Re: Questions you've never asked

What's the point of icons that are basically just cropped screenshots of characters' faces?

I understand if it's a particularly poignant screenshot or a character has a telling expression on their face or something, but otherwise... I don't get it.

Re: Questions you've never asked

Just personally I think it's fun to imagine that character making the person's post.

Re: Questions you've never asked

[(Anonymous)]

Either a) the person looks really good in that picture, b) the expression is cool as you say, c) the person has a minimalist taste when it comes to icons, or d) the person can't figure out how to do anything more complicated than that.

e) its funny

[elaminator]

A lot of mine are this, and all of the above. (If I like a character then I probably want an icon of them, and if I'm going to have an icon of them they're going to look hot. I'm shallow.)

I'm not great at making icons and will use someone else's if I can find what I want. If I can't I do my best.

I for one tend to be option D - I am not good at making stuff like fancy icons so the ones I make for myslef are just cropped and sized.

I have them because I like the character, and on other people I take it as a sign that it's a character they like.

Re: Questions you've never asked

[fingalsanteater]

Because I like that person's face.

SAAAAME

Re: Questions you've never asked

[silvereriena]

I usually do it because it's a character I find attractive. The shallowest reason, but there ya go. Right now pizza is my main squeeze.

+1

My icons move in stages like that. XD

Re: Questions you've never asked

[insanenoodlyguy]

BECAUSE WE ARE LIKING CHARACTERS, DUMB BABY!

I've missed your trolling.

CRY SOME MOARRRRR

I love when noodly-heavy makes an appearence

Re: Questions you've never asked

[silverr]

*shrug* I have a few like that; for me it's "Hey, I like this character, I'm making a post about the fandom they're in, icon choice decision done!"

And sometimes it's like going somewhere and wearing a t-shirt with a logo or character: it's an icebreaker. Conversations may spark because of it, and that can lead to longer chats, which can lead to new friends.

Re: Questions you've never asked

[vethica]

Because the character is hot.

Re: Questions you've never asked

[belladonna_took]

Because I don't care to use my own face and I'm not great at digital art.

I would use a landscape or something pretty, but not much is readable at that size.

So, Armitage it is.

Re: Questions you've never asked

[bigpaw]

Yeah like everyone said, cause you like the character or think they're cool/hot/etc! Zelda's my girl and if having her as my icon makes people associate me with her a little bit, then I'm happy.

Re: Questions you've never asked

[cloud_riven]

My regular screenshot ones are because they're hot.

Re: Questions you've never asked

[mimi-sardinia.livejournal.com]

I use this icon because it's a sim I made and I always found the way Insane sims could get into a fight with themselves and try to choke themselves in The Sims 3. I miss that in S4.

Re: Questions you've never asked

[(Anonymous)]

I do this because I don't have the skills or energy to do anything else, and I like the character.
