Round 28: theiconthrone - Something for the fans

I'm a fan of HPI, and of my cat. :D

Reasons I love HPI: because Morgane can't resist a puzzle, because Karadec is soft-spoken and sensitive, and of course because of the romance.
Reasons I love cats: because they're cute, because they're curious and often hilarious, and because their fur is so soft.

6 things I love

The current round at

retro_icontest was about things we love. It was originally meant for entertainment-type things, but the challenge explicitly included stock, and my muse decided to use that opportunity for a change. So, the things I love: HPI, my current favorite show and obsession, and... my cat. :D

Reasons I love HPI: because Morgane can't resist a puzzle, because Karadec is soft-spoken and sensitive, and of course because of the romance.
Reasons I love cats: because they're cute, because they're curious and often hilarious, and because their fur is so soft.

I'm happy to receive all kind of comments, including concrit! All icons shareable. Credit for brushes and textures I use can be found here in my resource post.

The Hazards of Love Vol. 2 by Stan Stanley

The Hazards of Love Vol. 2, written and illustrated by Stan Stanley, was as amazing as the first book! Amparo is stuck in Bright World. Iolanthe investigates from the living world, with the help of butch medium Al.

I love the weird, Addams Family-like worldbuilding and the colourful art. This tome expands on various secondary characters and the plot thickens with their help.

There's a Latinx non-binary protagonist (they/them), as well as many POC and/or queer characters. For more LGBT Quick Reads, check out my rec list.

20 icons of Mehdi Nebbou for celebrity20in20

I haven't participated in this comm in ages, but round 15 at

celebrity20in20 featured my own texture pack, one I always found really hard to use, so I thought it would just be fair if I tried my hand at it now. I usually find 20in20s stressful, and tend to make filler icons just so I can complete the set, but this time it went relatively easily and I am happy with most of these. (The texture pack was still really hard to use. :D)

Teasers:

( 20 icons of Mehdi Nebbou )

The splatter textures to be used are here: https://icon-resources.dreamwidth.org/3602.html

Concrit welcome! Comments adored! Credit appreciated! Take and use as many icons as you like. If you want to know whose textures and brushes I use, apart from the horribly hard to use ones I make myself ;), take a look at my resource post.

TV Tuesday: New Visitors

Laptop-TV combo with DVDs on top and smartphone on the desk

Do you recall favorite guest stars that outshone the main cast, or perhaps were such a perfect choice that they became part of the main cast later on? And if so, do we see less of this now that entire seasons are finished before they’re ever shown to an audience?
