Oh, Tara:My last award for Slayerstillness of 2015

[red_satin_doll]

And for my very last fandom award and icon challenge of 2015 it's only fitting that the marvelous tempertemper made the banner:

My Entries & Alts:

        1 - 5

My original intent was to only use caps amoung the examples Starry provided; it didn't quite end up that way. Nor did I recall planning on making them so consistent color-wise.  I did want to use unsual or rarely used caps as much as possible and I think I succeeded, especially with the two images from Where the Wild Things Are. The girlish pigtails bely the fact that she is someone who possesses a great deal of power and knowledge passed on by her mother and the women of her family. Tara's own power and knowledge are terribly underplayed after S4 and this is something I will never be happy about. Because it ends up being a double-whammy of the show's "issues with powerful women".

   6 - 12

If I could resubmit these, I'd switch out #6 for #5; the rest I'm satisfied with.

Oooh, lovely! Tara's hair is so gorgeous in so many of your icons. The effects are just wonderful! My faves this round are #2, #5, and #9. Congrats on your win!

Thank you dear! I really like #2 a lot (my favorite is prob #1) for the very reason you say. It's weirdly easy to forget that AB was astonishingly pretty as Tara esp in S4 and S5 (before Tough Love). I like to remind folks of that, as well as remind them how powerful she was in her own right. I'm glad you think I succeeded!
