Empire Ants

This video holds a very special place in my heart, because Hongjoong's cover of Numb helped me overcome the hazy grief emotions I felt every time I listened to my fave Linkin Park songs after we lost Chester. It also cemented my love of Ateez before I was even overly familiar with their discography. I'm a sentimental person, what can I say?

Many thanks to Anya for the caps! Check out her public caps over at samanyana.

Wtf did I just watch? I haven't the foggiest idea. Haven't been following Kollok, so your guess is as good as mine. But I felt like iconning the aesthetic, which lowkey reminds me of early 2000s music videos. So here we are.

From a cursory googling adventure, these videos - Sink, Shock, Succumb, and Swim - appeared to be promos for Kollok 1.09: Mammon, so that's how I saved and labelled them. Then I realized the promos were released a couple weeks after Mammon, so. Uhm. Oops? I guess these are actually promos for 1.11: Forward, featuring a scenario from 1.09. Or... something. Mammon has a stillframe from these promos as its thumbnail on the wiki, hence the confusion. Also, round two of utterly confounding myself: apparently the character Ethan's playing is AJ Greer, though I swear he's called Jay or Jade in these videos by what I hear - possibly JA, according to a wiki page. (Look, I tried, okay?)

These took a lot less time to make than expected! Suggested by truebornstark and made with caps from kissthemgoodbye.net.

I love this show. I found screencaps. You know what that means!


( Witness my bean-chewing! )

Have some more of Jon Whitesell, whose face intrigues me. Most of these come from his Instagram with some at the end from varied sources. There's probably some duplicates in here along with several from his various roles on television.


( Who needs subtlety, right? )

I planned to make some wintery icons, and this batch of Halloween aesthetics happened instead. Oops?

Most icons in this set feature a pink-haired witch (of the Halloween costume variety) whose name is unknown due to the nature of being a stock photography model. As such, I have only appearance-based assumptions to go by when tagging the gender and age for this post. Please pardon any potential inaccuracies, though I highly doubt we'll ever know they exist.


( Contains no broomsticks. )

Ah, yes, the wonderful world of 2000s-era teenage fashion! Considering I can't shake the vague "Adam Lambert mixed with Hot Topic kid who poses for 'stock photography' on deviantART" vibes coming off this aesthetic, I'd say the costume department did a decent job capturing the general look.

These come from Roswell, New Mexico episode 1.06: Smells Like Teen Spirit, the caps for which were made by capseroo. ♥ I'll be doing the rest of the set later, but figured I'd separate the young!Alex icons from everything else. (Tagging note: Tyler's in his early 30s, can easily pass as 20s, and is playing late 10s here. So age tag soup ensues.)


( With the lights out, it's less dangerous. )

I did what I could with the extremely dark and red lighting of this video, but the aesthetic just could not go un-iconned. So, here's Nathan Sharp (aka NateWantsToBattle on YouTube) in his music video for Phantom.

If all goes as planned, I'll be making more of this guy from other music videos and general photos at some point.

This icon set brought to you by nostalgia and... no, that's pretty much all.

Teenage me was so ridiculously in love with Janice's Janis' aesthetic, I must have used her on at least three forum-based RP characters back in the day. So here's to you, my embarrassing past, without whom I'd have never discovered most of the things I know and love about online roleplay today.
