37. Icons
Title: Opposites
Icon Artist:circadia
Theme: Opposites
Notes: This is nothing like anything else I've ever created, and it's sort of conceptual, I suppose. I tried to showcase just how opposite Ethan's words were to Brian's actions. I hope that makes sense.

Quotes are all Ethan's, from QaF episodes 220-307. Original screencaps from QueerEyes, KWAF, and ReminiscentDesigns

	I think you illustrated, perfectly, that Brian always showed Justin all the things that Ethan said to him. I especially love #4, #6, #3, #7, okay all of them! Can't wait to come back and get them! Thank you! Great work! (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Oh yay! I'm so very glad you like them and that the concept made sense :) Take all you'd like! (Reply to this) (Parent)

	Thank you for sharing your concept...it makes the icons more powerful and eye opening realizing they are all Ethan's quotes. I really like the 4 and 5 and 7. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	That is an incredible idea. :) The quotes definitely fit Brian's feelings more than Ethan's. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Excellent use of the old adage, "show, don't tell." It took Justin a while to realize that Brian really did tell him how much he loved him all along. These are nicely-done...can't wait to find out who made them. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	It took Justin a while to realize that Brian really did tell him how much he loved him all along. Exactly! We all know about how Ethan's all talk, Brian's (mostly) all action and I thought it would be interesting to see just how much the two overlapped. Thank you so much, I'm glad you enjoyed them and got it :) (Reply to this) (Parent)

	Interesting concept that resulted in some wonderful icons. I love the contrast in 4 and5. And 6 is just beautiful (Reply to this) (Thread)

	You are too kind ♥ ♥ ♥ Thank you so much. I'm thinking of continuing this, I was a little pressed for time because of the picspams, so this is what came out, but I'm considering trying to expand this a little more with others...we'll see. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	fun_demented 2009-07-17 07:59 pm UTC (link)
	I particularly like number 6. Using Ethan's empty words for Brian's very real feelings. Genius. Genius. Genius. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Fun, darling, you are just too sweet. Thank you ♥ (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	This one could make me cry if I thought about it too much. ♥ (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Uhh...I would say I'm glad it stirs up emotion for you, but I don't want you to cry! But thank you for all your kind words. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	You know how one might have a favorite fic they like to read? Well, I just saved this in my mems because this is that fic for me. This really was a special. Thank you. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Love the concept, and you've chosen just the right caps to illustrate it. #2 and 3 especially - makes me tear up! (Reply to this) (Thread)

	I love these, especially 4 and 5. I always love the irony that Brian chastises Ethan for turning down the record deal then a few episodes later sells everything for what he believes in. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	circadia 2009-07-21 08:05 am UTC (link)
	Thanks! I really liked putting 4&5 together, too. I thought it was an interesting contrast. Glad you liked them! :) (Reply to this) (Parent)
