I haven't made a Gratuitous Icon Post in so long, I had almost forgotten what it stood for!

Now that I've already made a bunch of posts about songvids, I finally got around to making a suitable icon! :-) It's an homage to the older vids that I've been digitizing, hence the stopwatch, VCR, and cascading pile of tapes. Here's to many future uses!

TODS has added a keyword search for "Sherlock" to the TiVo to catch any Holmes-related shows that may pop up. For several weeks in a row it kept bringing up an episode of Phineas and Ferb, which we ignored because we were unfamiliar with the series.

Then one day metherion asks whether we have ever watched this great show called Phineas and Ferb, so we watched an episode with him and learned that it is basically a show about metherion at six years old, if there had been two of him and they had had access to power tools. It really is very amusing. So we went ahead and recorded the Sherlock Holmes episode, in which the boys' older sister Candace uses Holmes' methods to try to find out what her pesky siblings are up to.

There's a very nice tribute to the Sacred Canon, as Candace and her best friend, visiting Candace's British grandparents, are bored because there's nothing to do. The grandmother invites them to read Sherlock Holmes books, which they initially pooh-pooh ("Aren't books what people did before they invented fun?") but reluctantly try ... and stay up all night enthusiastically reading the entire collection!

And now there is an icon.

Thanks to st_crispins for the new Christmas ball icons (she also made me an Azkadellia)!

Go vote, y'all! (You do not have to be a member of the comm to vote.)

I forgot I had another crossover icon - Tin Man with text from Alice in Wonderland:


( a few more strays )

The current theme at tinman_stills is Cain, and there have been some gorgeous icons submitted. They never seem to get enough votes over there, and you don't have to be a member to vote - y'all go!

Whatever the technical issues may be, it looks like, if I decouple the Heisenberg compensators open the icons in Photoshop, save them, and re-upload them, they come out all right.

Case in point - the icon above.

Here's what it looked like before:



Can y'all verify that it looks okay now?
