starladyI am so excited for this three-day weekend, you have no idea.
Five icons picked bylotesse.
This is a panel from the last chapter of the first volume of Arakawa Hiromu's magisterial manga Fullmetal Alchemist (though I think it might be flipped in orientation). It's one of my absolute favorite single panels in the manga, because Roy is saying that the Fullmetal Alchemist is on the train they've been discussing and it's a brilliant prelude to awesome things happening. I ♥ Arakawa and her brilliant pacing so much, seriously. The icon has a line from The Beatles' "Revolution," which has always been one of my favorite of their songs: "You say you want a revolution/Well you know, we all want to change the world." Revolutions are complex phenomena, but this icon generally takes a positive view of them.
This icon is from Star Trek: The Animated Series, which may be the most blatantly feminist Star Trek in some ways. It helps that the animation is terrible and the female characters look angry all the time. Anyway, the show is short and hilarious and quasi-canonical, and the female crewmembers get to kick lots of ass, including Uhura, in this icon. She's angry and fabulous and kicking ass! Uhura forever!
This is an older icon, showing four nikuman (that's what they're called in Japanese, the Mandarin is escaping me at the moment), one of whom is the white Mokona of CLAMP's manga universe. I generally use it for CLAMP stuff. And now I want a nikuman. I'm so sad I didn't get to Kobe to have nikuman in Chinatown this past summer, you don't even know.
This is an icon of the Japanese cover of Garth Nix' novel Sabriel, which is one of the first works of fantasy I read that made a huge impression on me and that is still one of my favorite books. The central, unanswerable question of the novel is "Does the walker choose the path, or the path the walker?", the first part of which is written at the bottom left of the icon. I love the Old Kingdom Chronicles, and their awesome female protagonists, so much.
This icon is fairly popular in Narnia fandom; I started using it because of my aforementioned love for The Beatles song in question after my obsession with Narnia flared up earlier this year. I generally use this one just for Narnia things; I loved the Prince Caspian movie, and the fact that the Pevensies are in fact working for a revolution in Narnia, at least in some senses. Be careful what you wish for.
