Empire Ants

I've brought you my parabatai's bias, and now I bring you mine. These all come from my folders labeled as pink hair, purple hair, and blonde hair; a couple of slightly brunette-looking ones sneaked in, but we're calling them blonde now.


( Fix on~ )

Am I back yet? I don't know. Did I get bored and make some K-pop icons? Yes.


( The cat butler~ =^.^= )

I haven't seen the show, but I adore this guy's face so I knew these caps had to be iconned. This is the second half of a set too large for IJ's post sizes.

Thanks to eggplants for the caps~ ♥


( You’re free to dream whatever you want. )

My parabatai's bias for an ever so slightly belated birthday gift~ 💖 I love you, bb, and here's to another decade-plus of being besties!


( Trust yourself and just do it. If it's not very perfect, that's okay. It's meaningful that you try already. )

Love the song, love the video, hate working with the video's colour grading. 😭 Actually, tbh, I hate working with any colour grading these days. So much effort for such a small payoff... But here's an attempt at making myself get back in the swing of things.

Major thanks go to samanyana for capping this for me. 💖


( Behind the growing whisper, an instinct I can’t hide wakes me up. )

Blonde and orange hair in this set. Black, brown, and red/pink to come in the future.


( What others think is not important at all; we're perfect just the way we are. )

He's adorkable and I'm here for it. 💙


( Shooting stars are just astronaut poops. )

Look. It might not be obvious because my icon quality is tanking lately along with my mental energy levels, but Peniel is a major inspiration for me so these sets are kind of a labour of love. Also, I have a major weakness for nail art, so the last 41 of these are literally just closeups of his various manicures.


( If you set a deadline for a certain goal, like a life goal, and it's like 'Oh I'm gonna have a house by 30 and be married and whatever,' it's like you're setting yourself up for failure. )

I have such a fondness for split-dyed hair, in case you haven't noticed.


( Pizza is confusing 'cause it's like a circle, but then you cut it into triangles, and then it comes in a box. )

Made to enable my parabatai. 💙 Also features a few icons - two of which are animated - with Lee Minhyuk (Huta). They lowkey highkey pass as being siblings.


( When you were born, everyone was smiling and happy. That's how important you are, and how much you can bring happiness to others. If you disappear, everyone would live in sadness. )
