Couple of Wolfwood/Vash icons

[effervescible]

Yeah, you read that right.  You yaoi folk are a bad influence on me.  ;)  (Plus Cash's cover of Hurt just works for this pairing, I admit it.)  Was going to be more, but I desperately hate optimizing animated icons for lj.

I'm back! Sorry about MSN being open whilst I was away. My computer has a tendency to go into sleep mode and then wake up at random times, so my apologies.


AND OMG I LURVE YOU! We yaoi folk aren't bad, just...well, kinky as hell. I love these both, I can't decide which one I like better. *takes both*

I love you. Love, love, love you.

Johnny Cash V/W icons? Love. *scrambles off to find Man Comes Around*

How so?

LJ icons can only be 40k in size at the most. For a still icon that's plenty of space, but it's really not much for animated. In the case of these icons, I had to drop the amount of frames I wanted in the transition AND lower the quality of the picture, and it's a noticeable difference if you see the original. I could've just had only one or two frames in the transition, but it'd be jerky and icky. So in summary: bleah, animated icons with transitions are hard!

I might make some more still Cash icons, because that song just works.

We got ya! Temporarily, you are a yaoi fan!

Well, I have always said that even though I do not see the Gayness of Vash and Wolfwood, those two make a HELL of a lot more sense than the other yaoi pairings in the series that involve either of them. So if we're playing Death is Not an Option, than yeah, I choose W/V.

Your words? They hurt. 'Death is Not an Option' -- bwa ha ha!

Now if only Meryl was added into the mix...

Those can actually both be read as gen, too-- about their broken friendship. But still! V/W icons! Love!

[jaina.livejournal.com]

Since I'm not a yaoi person, I could be wrong, but I don't think the yaoi relationship would be nearly as interesting without the friendship, broken and unbroken, to back it up. These two have layers, yo, and that makes them interesting.

[jaina.livejournal.com]

OT3!

[mistressrenet.livejournal.com]

I think I speak for most yaoi fans-- at least the sane ones-- when I say the hotsex is merely the chocolate buttercream frosting on the rich layer cake that is the Vash/Wolfwood relationship.

[jaina.livejournal.com]

I think it says something about my level of perviness that I read that and immediately thought "chocolate buttercream frosting as lube? Intersting."

[mistressrenet.livejournal.com]

Indeed it does. We'll get you in the end, missy. You'll see.

[jaina.livejournal.com]

I hate to break it to you, but since there's nothing inherently thrilling about boysex to me (I just don't fit in anywhere!) my appreciation of slash/yaoi depends solely on the characters, and as much as I love Wolfwood and Vash, they just don't do it for me in that way. If we switched over to a different fandom we might have a pairing in common.

And totally randomly, your icon looks like Vash is smothering Wolfwood and Wolfwood's begging us for help. XD

[mistressrenet.livejournal.com]

Actually, that kind of fits the doujin it's from. And no, I was just teasing-- I've just heard so many people over the years go 'I'm never gonna like that stuff' who then totally do. (But they're usually far more wanky adamant than you!)

[jaina.livejournal.com]

*sn* Fun doujin. That reminds me, I have a W/V one I need to sell--I should give you guys first crack at it.

And as far as slash goes, well, tell me you like Remy/Bobby from X-Men and we're good to go. :D

[mistressrenet.livejournal.com]

Yeah, you totally should.

Remy/anyone makes me good to go. Woot!

You too, huh? Pervert.

[rashaka.livejournal.com]

You did not just take my all-time favorite NIN and make it into W/V icons. You did NOT.

::huddles and cries::

::cries more because the second icon is actually really really good and that makes it worse::

ahem.

[rashaka.livejournal.com]

::sniffle::

Okay then. I'm done. I will be harassing you for even more OTF after this though. Just to make sure you still have your priorities right. :)

[jaina.livejournal.com]

Of course I didn't! I took the way better Johnny Cash version and made it into icons!

Re: ahem.

Silly girl, my heart and loins forever belong to our OTP/F.

So lovely! Wish I was a Wolfwood/Vash fan just to properly drool over these icons, but alas am not. Still, love them anyway. And, JC's "Hurt" fits the bill for it, yep.
