Empire Ants

Made by request/suggestion of bikinicops, who has been ridiculously patient with my chronic procrastination.


( You know, I never would've thought that my love of churros would've led me this close to the gates of Hell. )

One more set after this, and the Flávia Charallo icon spam shall be complete.


( You wear your heart so fearless, it's like it doesn't beat. )

I considered spacing these out, but tbh I just wanna get them posted and give myself a false sense of accomplishment.


( The river goes where the water flows, but no one knows when the Batcave closed. )

Also includes some random aesthetic type (socks, light bulb, coffee, etc.) and adorable pet icons from her Instagram account. And what's presumably a Harley Quinn cosplay but lowkey makes me think of VtM: Bloodlines.


( Should I save the world right now or should I save it in an hour? )

Have I watched The Fosters yet? No. Will I watch it someday? Maybe. Did I spend fifteen minutes tracking down a clip wherein Jesus spoke a quoteworthy line for the lj-cut? Yes. Yes, I did. What even is my life?

Here we go: Jake T. Austin as Jesus Adams Foster in The Fosters 2.04: Say Something. (I thought it was spelled Jesús, but the wiki pages and most websites say otherwise, so... yeah.)


( If Brandon wants to use this as a studio, Brandon should clean it himself. )

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 love that this role has the same elegance and visible personality as Veronica Lodge, but without the absolute atrocity that is Riverdale's lighting. I do think I over-corrected for blue and gold tones in some, but by time I realized I'd already saved these, so... Oops? I still like how most of them look.

Part one of two featuring Camila Mendes as Shelby Pace in The Perfect Date. Images used to make these come from capping.


( So, in the fall, I'll be going to Columbia, where I'll major in applied economics in management with a concentration in finance. And, of course, I'll intern at my father's hedge fund over the summers. )

Half the time as I was making these, I thought I was working on more Noah Centineo icons. There's a reason my bff and I pb them as brothers. But no, this is in fact Matthew Daddario in a peculiarly titled movie which I've never actually seen: Naomi and Ely's No Kiss List.

Screencaps by twatty.


( Have you ever noticed that Gabriel's left eye is greener than his right? )

It's finally finished! Infinite thanks and appreciation to truebornstark for being so patient while I worked on these. ♥ This marks the final set from Riverdale 3.04: The Midnight Club, and thus the third large iconning project I've finished. It features Camila Mendes as Hermione Gomez (young Hermione Lodge) and includes the LARP costume she wore during the episode.


( The Catholic school girl went against her mother's wishes and began a lifetime of compromises. )

This is just a quick set of Dylan Sprouse because I wanted a few more for a character. Some of these feature his no-longer-identical twin, Cole, and a few come from his role as Lucas Ward in Dismissed.


( I used to be very scared of silence because I felt it was my responsibility to keep people occupied. )
