queensthiefSo, I really wanted to make an icon with this picture of the Beauteous Depp, to have my own Gen profile picture with him.
Trying to connect it with Gen was proving to need more creativity than I thought...
But then I remembered about Gen's collection by the end of their journey out...so I went and looked some stuff up and came up with a few things. Like any of them? I tried to make them humorous, I'd like to know which ones work. Is this ridiculous? Am I setting a match to kerosene here?
Eugenides, Pyro of acclaim...honestly, this came out of reading the part where he lists all these things. And the darkness of the temple seemed evoked in this picture, anyhow. He was in need of matches, sure. But he seemed to collect them.
This one came after this sentiment...

And incidentally, I like the "You Viper" picture too. It's true that the general picture does remind one of the darkness in the temple, but it also fits well with the viper quote.

Date: 4/12/07 06:43 pm (UTC)His voice seems to fit well with my image of the Magus too. I'm not going to make any riding crop comments that I'll regret though.
I ought to mention - it's sometimes difficult to keep track of who's saying what with anonymous posters - and there are quite a few people who comment here who don't belong to livejournal. It's also a little awkward to answer someone without a name to address them with. Would you mind signing a name of some sort on the bottom of your comments? It just helps to avoid confusion. :)

Date: 4/12/07 11:02 pm (UTC)Okay, children, riding crop jokes are officially a little PG for a public forum, now...
This is, unfortunately, a fairly old picture. I need to redo it with better colors, too, but I wanted to get to the Viper...
