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.

They're all beautiful icons, but I really adore the winning one. (Hmm, maybe I'll snag it, if that's OK with you -- I realise that I don't have a Tara icon yet!)

Don't have a Tara icon? Heaven forfend! By all means snag it, I would be delighted! Thank you for the compliment!

[double_dutchess]

Thank YOU for letting me use it! (And for making such a beautiful icon in the first place, of course.)

Well that's what they're here for, to be used and appreciated! (It does make my ego very happy, you know the feeling.) I'm always gratified when my icons strike a chord with other people and it's not just, you know, me amuing myself. Not that there's anything wrong with that!

That icon might end up being one of my favorites for the year.
