Empire Ants

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.

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.

Thanks for capping this music video for me, Anya! 💙 Y'all can check out her public caps over at samanyana.


( Hey, don't stop... )

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. )

Netflix lighting will someday be the death of my sanity. But I emerged this time. So, have a set of icons so massive it had to be split in two, made with caps from eggplants. ♥


( I guess when you’re staring death in the face, that’s what makes you remember and miss someone. )

I love her face. That's it, that's my entire motivation for trawling Google Images and iconning what I found. 🤷‍♀️ Also, I finally hopped on the Mr. Robot train, and wow it's glorious.


( Since when did pretending everything's okay suddenly become the almighty norm? )

Sometimes, I icon things that make me happy for no reason other than I find them aesthetically pleasing.




( I destroyed the universe and all I got was this stupid mug. )

I did not have the mental energy required to fix the colour grading and/or lighting in some of these. 🤷 But I tried to make sure they were all visible on my monitor and I run it at the absolute minimum brightness, so they should be usable.


( Am I forever young or will I simply fade before I'm old? )

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?)


( Even if this is just me on my death bed, dreaming... Why can't I dream my friends? These rocks will do. )

An attempt was made to fix the horrific lighting and colour grading on this episode. It worked really well in some scenes and... alright in others. But I tried, and that counts for something. Right?


( The energy's very faint. It's been dormant a long time, like me. )
