Ganked from rydra_wong

She gave me three that I actually made recently, in the wake of the tumblr debacles.



I cropped this from a photoshoot about Varanasi, it's the dangling feet of someone painted blue to play Krishna; probably a bahurupi. It's my krishna icon, used mostly for posts about the god, epics, Hindu mythology, etc. My favourite god, master manipulator in my favourite epic, so I... well I don't actually talk about my religion a whole bunch on dw, but I do write Mahabharata fic, so it seemed apt in my last round of icon-making.




This is Peter O'Toole from--i think--Lord Jim. He's my face-claim for Ralph Lanyon, one of the romantic leads of The Charioteer, a merchant-navy sailor and RNVR officer who canonically has the nervous tic of touching his collar for reassurance. He's neurotic and disabled and queer and fucked-up; I love him more than I can easily explain.




So a few years ago there was a Buzzfeed article about men with mehndi looking stunning, by the always awesome Imaan Sheikh. I immediately incorporated the look into my personal headcanon of traditional West and South Asian masculinity, which was and is very different from Western, especially Anglo constructs of the same, and absolutely incorporates cosmetics and jewellery, not as a rebellious or punk or genderfluid thing, but as part of normative masc. presentation.

 SO is now on dw as bee_muse because she can't log in to her filia_noctis account which was empty anyhow and has started on the snowflake_challenge. Her first entry is here.

Also! I enjoy some of the things the Troy show does, especially about material culture, but uh.
I'm not really watching for the plot.

  

As always, these icons are gakkable, credit is nice, hotlinking is bad.

Photos mine.


( Skies )

i particularly love Shumon's 'wtf is wrong with that boy' expression.

and, aw, charlie hadn't quite accepted that mikhail was dead. tch.

Because I'm going to fail and don't care. Anyway, credit is nice, hotlinking is not, take whatever you want.
A leetl Jeremey Irons, a leetl Sir Ian McKellen, a leetl Gregory Peck, a leetl Cary Grant, and a hel lotts Katherine Hepburn, because the woman's hot like burning, okay. (and, yes, I know you know why I posted these together, shush.)

yes, shtoopeed pun, I know, ne'er mind. Also, I have a test tomorrow. Woe is me.

As always, you're free to take, I like credit and hotlinking is frowned upon.




      

      

     

     

     

I'm supposedly writing a paper on science, religion and politics in literature, having chosen to work on Phillipa Gregory's The Other Boleyn Girl. The abstract was (and pay close attention to that word) due on Friday. I have written it, but I detest what I've written, and am not in the mood to re-write it.

So, to assuage my guilt, and pretend that I'm doing related work, I've been iconning. As usual. *sigh* I need therapy.








In other, utterly unrelated news, I've finally started work on the GGP. Two parts down, thirteen to go. This week seems promising. :(
