The edges of Steph's smile are sharp as a rose's thorns. Built to cause damage, they cut down deep through Cass's ribcage.

I am happy now, they say. They don't lie, but the turn of the shoulders tells Cass that the feeling is aimed towards her.

I'm fucking tired of always coming second for everyone in my life, Steph had said. I'm not second now, her loud laugh screams. Look how easy it was to give that to me.

It's too late for us. I don't forgive you. Cass feels those words as if they were carved into her skin.

Separated these from the Arcee & Carly batch because, um, it seemed kind of silly to do a post where more than two-thirds of the icons were from the same image.

( 10 icons )

This week, I spent probably too much time making probably too many icons of the same image. These are the ones I ended up thinking were good enough to post.

The icons

[1-5]

[6-10]

[11-15]

[16-20]

[21-25]

Textures: bombay101, bourniio, colette, elwyn, jeanna-davis, kaelien, lookslikerain, shiruji, unreported, vitriolicism, youcallitwinter

Okay. I really, really like the cover to Transformers Skybound #10—Carly and Arcee stargazing together while Carly is sitting on the roof of her van. It's a pretty image, and I really love vengeful human teenager Carly and her quasi-familial relationships with giant robots from outer space.

It turns out it is really hard to icon that image. A simple wide crop (#1) works, but you lose the details and especially the expressions. A close crop is tough because getting both characters will also get awkward parts of Carly's car (#2 was the best I got in terms of a close crop).

So I thought of circular crops! (#11-15, #24) Which did work better... but I have very few circular frame textures, and some of those had a pretty small "frame". (One also has part of the circle spilling off of the icon, which was useful for hiding inconvenient lone headlights and things like that—#11—pity I didn't like the flame border that much.)

So I used those few (some with significant color manipulation, and with different circle crops because I wasn't sure how much to prioritize getting Arcee's hand in the frame—I do like the neon effect I ended up with in #12-13), and then it occurred to me I could make my own frames by just resizing circles of different colors, and set those on other backgrounds. More flexible! (#15-20, #24-25). For a most of these I just used a plain circle crop, but in a few I used the circle as a flat colored background, or a transparent one (#20 is my favorite of these).

Then it occurred to me that I didn't actually need to keep the whole background–I could just cut the characters out! This led to #5 and #10, where Carly is "sitting" on the frame. Then I wanted the starry sky back so I did some with the background in frames, and then I started playing with text (#6-10, #22-23). I like how some of these turned out a lot! Some of them do basically use the text as unreadable texture, though.

(Around here I forgot my original objective and made icon #3, which is actually a narrower version of the wide crop, using a recolored texture as a border.)

Then it occurred to me I could crop two separate circles, one for each character, and get some flexibility that way. Thus #16-20 and #25.

... And then I realized I'd done a solo icon of Arcee and not one of Carly, so I did #21 to make things even.

Anyway, I'm planning on inflicting it on

ic_animated for the Screencap Pool round, to see if anyone else has ideas about what to do with it.

Somehow, it's March already.

Last month's writing goals are here.

So how'd I do?

Didn't manage to post February's icons before the month was up, so here's some catch-up.

Mostly Percy, with some of Leeds and Cecelia and one Cameron.

1-5 were made for

ic_animated's Crayola round—can't resist the color yellow.

Another week has come and gone. How did February fly by so fast? Anyway, I'm looking forward to some warmer weather soon.

One of my goals this year is to crosspost all my fics to dreamwidth (and, while I'm at it, edit and polish the old ones). During February I did that with the ones I posted in 2026, and in March I will continue with previous years.

The fics can be found via the tags: a general fanfic tag, one more tag separating them by fandom, and another by year. But I also wanted to post a separate master list as a second sticky post, ordering them by fandom. It'll be updated as I go along and continue to crosspost.

carnal idolatry. Kyle Reese/Sarah Connor. 300 words, M. Kyle would think he must be dreaming —except for how he's never felt so present in his body, so keenly aware of the nerve endings in each of his fingertips. So exultant, and at once, fearful. Canon-compliant.

This week: Baku blows up the dream moon; the cadets have a Dealing with Trauma episode; and Cassian makes a daring escape which was very fun to watch.

Title quote comes from Zeztz this time because it's the perfect Kamen Rider quote.

This was a treat I wrote for Seasons of Drabbles! Season 2 really has me enamoured with this dynamic and I couldn't resist the prompt.

"You and I should go to the Rivers Casino," Santos told her, blasé as ever. "Bet you're really good at counting cards."

"I am," she bragged. Snippy, she added, "But I'm not twenty-one yet, remember?"

"Right…" Santos drawled, in that supremely annoying way of hers, stretching the vocals beyond their limit. "Tell me, you ever played strip poker?"

Victoria was so fucking tired of Santos making fun of her youth and inexperience. It often made her mouth ran away from her, and this time was no different.

"No. But you'd have no chance against me."

Santos grinned, her eyebrows raised in reluctant appreciation.

"Alright, Crash. Friday night, after shift. You're on."

She walked away with a pep to her step. Victoria glared at her back until she turned a corner, out of view.

Whitaker, who silently listened to their back and forth wearing the face of a man who felt it'd be too awkward and rude to complain about his own excution, told her "Don't worry! I'll… make myself scarce that night."

That was kind of him, but unnecessary. She swore that in this particular battle of their cold war, it would not be Victoria who'd up naked and penniless.

This week's

thefridayfive questions and answers:

1. What made you happy this week?

My birthday was on Wednesday, and I have celebrated all week with lots of good food 😁

2. What made you sad?

Getting older means that it's a bad idea to eat cookie cake for breakfast.

3. What made you angry?

NC State's men's basketball team played like trash on Tuesday 👎

4. What are you looking forward to in the next week?

Hopefully I will finally have the time to continue watching Gingaman!! And also a few more episodes of Ultra Q!

5. What are you not looking forward to?

I have a county commissioners' meeting to go to Monday night that looks to be super long and boring. And Tuesday is primary election day in North Carolina, so I'm stringing for AP that evening. It'll probably be a long night. (But, on the bright side, after Monday and Tuesday, the rest of the week should hopefully be smooth sailing.)
