More Yoongi for northangerabbey, because apparently when I make icons I make icons. There is no chill in me.


( It is okay if you don’t have a dream. You just have to be happy. )

Look, I haven't really been making icons lately because it turns out there's only x amount of free time in a day and there's roughly x¹⁰ things I want to complete, but when Ace ran into a need for more dark-haired Yoongi without a gaint face scar I was happy to get back into the swing of things for a night. Because honestly? The internet could always use more Yoongi icons.

For northangerabbey, and everyone else. We don't gatekeep rap gods icons here.


( If you can’t return, go straight through your mistakes and forget them all. )

I planned for my next set to be the long black hair, but I have hundreds of images for that and i wanted to do a set I could finish in one sitting to initiate the Accomplishment Emotions in my brainmeat. Something tells me Ace won't mind, because it still means more Yoongi icons in the world. 😉


( You were born to be real, not to be perfect. )

I am so mad with the quality of most of these, and the general lack of images online. But I guess that's what happens when the most interesting villain gets the least screen time. 😞

Includes 20 animated icons. And lots of blood.


( Aren't you glad I'm home? )

For my parabatai, perkyshadowgirl, who is even more epic than Joong's smirk (and that's pretty damn epic). Happy belated birthday! Sorry I didn't get these done on time, but you get 99 extra because I fail at numbers so... everyone wins? 💕


( There's no one like him~ )

Min Yoongi, aka Suga, aka Agust D. Aka one half of my bias line. You can blame this set on the fact I have a thing for face scars. Most are the vertical eye scar seen in Daechwita, Haegeum, and Amygdala but at the end are a few more generic face wounds from Give It To Me. Also features nine animated icons.

Shoutout to northangerabbey who wants to see more BTS icons. Not sure if this is what you had in mind, but there will be more with more broad usefulness than 'look I have a character with the eye scar' in the future.


( Who's the king, who's the boss? )

A set I meant to make literally years ago, this is my take on bases that were shared with me by someone who has long since left IJ.


( Most of these are monochrome. )

• Im Hyunsik is now listed as Lim Hyunsik, because that's the romanization he appears to be using on recent stuff. The L is silent. (Which is also true of the surname Lee, such as with Lee Changsub and Lee Minhyuk.) Romanization of Korean makes my soul weep. But yeah, I want to be consistent with English-language promotions for his recent stuff. I haven't posted any sets of him yet - just a few icons with him in the background - so this doesn't really impact anything.


• Ethan Nestor-Darling is now listed solely as Ethan Nestor and his youtuber tag is now also Ethan Nestor because he rebranded his channel to simply his name, unhyphenated. So, once again, updating for consistency. RIP to the CrankGameplays era!


• I may be removing the "aesthetic" tags in the near future, but am lacking the spoons to commit to such a decision right now.


• The Planned Sets page needs an overhaul. Whether to update it so that it actually contains icons I care about making now (most of the ones currently listed, I've lost interest/need for) or to turn it into a Google Doc for easier editing, something needs to change about it. Currently uncertain what, but it's in the pipeline.

Look how cute he is!

BTOB are the most adorkable men ever and I strongly recommend checking out their variety content and/or music, mkay.

Happy Holidays!
