A Few Alterations
I'm currently having intense internet issues and when/if there will be a solution is nebulous. Ergo, I'm on hiatus for what I can only hope is a little while but may very well end up being indefinite.
During this hiatus, and in preparation for the new laptop I hope to get soon, I've been poking at organizing my folder of things to icon. I've removed quite a few planned sets - and will likely remove more as I continue organizing - but haven't bothered to add new sets I intend to make yet.
I'm sick of dealing with the lighting on shows and movies that don't know what lightbulbs or natural colouring are, so I'm also intending to be more selective about how many icons I make from such material in the future. It's become a chore, and I don't like that, so it's time to change my "use every viable cap possible" outlook into "icon my fave expressions, and maybe everything that's well-lit." I'll almost certainly keep over-iconning photo sources, YouTube videos, etc. because those are nowhere near as frustrating to work with as things like Riverdale. And I'll still be generous about how many I icon from suggested sets, because I know for a fact at least one person other than myself is interested in each of those sets and it's therefore not a wasted effort. (Sorry it's been eternity on some of those, btw.) And, obviously, I'm still going to icon things from every cap set I've specifically requested be made for me. (Shoutout to Anya, you're fucking epic.)
Finally, I've removed a majority of the character-based tags because it's just one more extraneous step in getting icon sets posted and I don't see much use for them anymore. Animated characters will retain their tags because there are no actor names to look up instead, but otherwise the giant cluster of character tags for live action icons is going away. It was mostly just annoying me, anyway, by causing extra scrolling to reach the people tags.
