Another icon meme post

wychwood asked this time!



"Is this A-Tuin-related or just generally turtles? Tell me more about your turtle-related feelings?"

Yep, this is a reference to A'tuin from Discworld. It's turtles all the way down :) I don't have strong turtle feelings in general, but I think they're cute! Also the original photo is of a turtle threesome which amuses me.



"I'm not sure I knew you'd been in SGA fandom - what did/does it mean for you, what did you like, etc?"

I was only sort of in SGA fandom, it was more that back in the day almost everyone else I knew was into it, so I read a lot of fic and drew a lot of art for prompts. This is adapted from one such example. I had mixed feelings about the show (and only watched a season or so) but really liked the idea of Atlantis itself, and it's "alien city skyline in the middle of the sea against a huge sky" aesthetic.



"Feel free to tell me what you like about the flying rats, and them in particular"

I really liked the comic, Digger, and remember thinking the little flying rats were cute, but it was less about the canon context and more the aesthetic.

At the time I made this icon I hadn't had a livejournal for long and really wanted a default icon that felt like me, but couldn't decide on one. Then I saw the panel this image came from and went "THAT. I AM GOING TO BE REPRESENTED BY THAT LITTLE MOUSE". And for a long time, I was, and I still have a lot of affection for the little mouse. I think that asides from the cuteness and me being a little bit of a furry, I liked the sense that it was tiny, and not very important to the main plot, but trying it's best to help in its tiny way.

If you want me to choose 3 of your icons ask away!

Thank you! :D

Atlantis really genuinely was very beautiful, all those shots of the city from the air, or people standing on balconies gazing out over the spires.
