Procrastination is My Drug of Choice: Buffy and Veronika Decides to Die Icons

[red_satin_doll]

This is what I do when I have at least three meta and two fics unfinished on my harddrive, whilst my lovely beta lanoyee waits patiently so she can actually beta. (Beta is both a noun and a verb, right?) I don't have Photoshop, only the simply editing suite on Photobucket to play with, so no claims to art here. (If you're looking for art, try terragram_icons ; they just posted a fun set of buffyverse quote icons. Or comlodge's award-winning icons. Or...anyone who is not me.)

Sample Icons:  

Anyhoo...The first two are from Veronika Decides to Die (a movie I don't recommend due to what I consider it's unethical and misguided "solution" to depression: "Veronika just needs to care about someone else and she'll feel all better! And lying to her about her health condition and manipulating two mentally ill people in order to cure them is TOTALLY worth the risk!" Sorry, NO. But damn, it's got some pretty visuals.) The rest are of my girl Buffy Summers, of course, or Buffy and Dawn.

You know the drill: Comments and feedback are always welcome; proper credit is a must. All for the taking, just let me know.
(ETA: Speaking of proper credit *ahem*, original screencaps and promo images for Veronika sourced from smg-online.org and LadyMason.com .)

Oh, perfect banner. Sitting comfortably, lost in an angst of should I, would I, why the hell won't she? Perfect!

*HAPPY DANCE* From an artist such as yourself that is QUITE the compliment, hon, thank you!

We are built to care otherwise we'd bash our little parasites in the head first time they screamed, I'm sure,

Children, spouses, both, either? ;)

Children, spouses, both, either?

Was thinking of children but definitely spouses. I remember in those first exhausting, confusing days of life with a new born in the house, complaining to the hubby that I couldn't take care of two children and his instant reply - 'I was here first!'

Yes, definitely both!

and his instant reply - 'I was here first!'

?!?!?! Tell me he was joking. Please.

Men are their own special little beings. :D

In their own minds, definitely.

Which of course is not fair to my male friends IRL and here in fandom who are genuinely nice, kind, awesome individuals. Of whom, sadly, there seem to be not enough.

Lol. I don't think they consciously think this. I don't think they think about it at all. They just 'are'. Lol. There do seem to be a lot of less than desirable ones about thought mind that can be said for both sexes really.
