hmmm  
Okay, I'm making use of the lightheadedness I'm still suffering from to make some icons for [livejournal.com profile] icons100 - I'm focusing on Xander ones right now although I did get accepted for River ones as well - yay!

Anyway. The themes. One of the themes is 'embrace' and I automatically zoned in on the end of Grave - the hug at the top of the Bluff. Only problem with that is that the way the scene is framed it's very much centred on Willow rather than Xander. What d'you think, he's clearly an integral part of the scene but if I use a picture from it will it be a Xander icon or a Willow one?

And if it's too heavily on the Willow side of the issue, have you got any suggestions for another scene to use?



Four icons, four completely different styles. And I can't decide which fits the theme best. The Becoming II option, again he has his back to the camera for the entire shot so I chose not to use that one.

I like them all personally, although the Primeval one is a little on the dark side (as in colouring) but still, I do like it.

Not sure about the scene being too Willow-centric, but here are a few other suggestions:

The PuffyXander/Buffy hug, Xander/Cordelia hug in Becoming P2, Xander hugging Buffy and Willow in Flooded? and Normal Again, the VampXander/Cordelia/VampWillow sandwich in The Wish, and the Buffy/Xander hug in Seeing Red are good "embracing" scenes.

Oooo - thanks for those! I've used the Seeing Red scene in one and it turned out pretty well. I may just go with that one!

Those came out nice. I love the Seeing Red one.

Thanks! I'm really pleased with how that one came out as well!

What about the end of season two when him and Buffy are in the hospital and he hugs her to stop the police seeing her?

I always like the hug scene in the elevator shaft in the middle of S4's 'Primeval.' Xander's pretty much in the center of a Buffy-Willow sandwich in that one and his reaction is center stage.

I'd actually forgotten all about that one! And dammit you've just made my dilemma a trilemma (yes, I'm making up words again!)

There's also the Xander/Willow hug at the end of The Pack. You know, "Nobody messes with my Willow."

There's also a bunch of hugs in The Body, including, though it's not technically an embrace, the bit where Xander's kissing Willow's forehead.

dammit! Now by trilemma has grown into a quadlemma. (I really have to stop making up words like that)

thanks!

Oh come on. Made up words are fun!

I like them all. Perhaps you could offer all of them as a variation of the theme?

[identity profile] whiskyinmind.livejournal.com on May 25th, 2005 10:42 am (UTC)
*grin* Thanks! I'm keeping the alternates back for the moment in case I can get them to fit one of the other themes, or maybe just offer them as part of the 50 themeless ones.

That's definitely a good idea.
