Just another icon journal. This one is for Lionchilde (aka <span class='ljuser ljuser-name_so_out_of_ideas' lj:user='so_out_of_ideas' style='white-space:nowrap'><a href='http://so-out-of-ideas.livejournal.com/profile'><img src='http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif?v=88.8' alt='[info]' width='16' height='16' style='vertical-align: bottom; border: 0; padding-right: 1px;'/></a><a href='http://so-out-of-ideas.livejournal.com/'><b>so_out_of_ideas</b></a></span>.) I make a lot of icons in big batches, and my personal journal has gotten difficult to maintain even with tagging and memories, so I bit the bullet and made a community for my graphics. If you like what you see, stop by my personal journal. <br /><br />Membership is open, feel free to join, but it is not necessary to view posts.<br /><br /><font size="-1"><div><br /><p><b>Credits:</b><br />Layout by <lj user="koryou"></p><br /><p>Image and resource credits can be found <a href="http://so-out-of-ideas.livejournal.com/tag/resources"> here</a> on my personal journal because that's where it's been forever.</p><br /></div></font><br /><br /><center><table width="900" cellpadding="5" cellspacing="1" bgcolor="#efefef"><tr><td width="300" bgcolor="#F2E8E8" align="center" valign="top"><font color="#800080" family="Tahoma" size="1">The Stuff</font></td><td width="300" bgcolor="#F2E8E8" align="center" valign="top"><font color="#800080" family="Tahoma" size="1">The Girl</font></td><td width="300" bgcolor="#F2E8E8" align="center" valign="top"><font color="#800080" family="Tahoma" size="1">The Heroes</font></td></tr><tr><td width="300" bgcolor="#ffffff" align="justify" valign="top"><font color="#666666" family="Tahoma" size="1">If you're here, it's probably for the stuff. <br /><br /><br /><br /><b>Icons and Graphics</b><br />Because I tend to make lots of icons, my journal was becoming cluttered.

She lived in a medium sized yellow house in a magical place called Lindenhurst, with her mother, her aunt and uncles, and her Grandma and Grandpa. Her favorite stories were always about heroes and princes. In fact, it was said that the little girl's Grandpa was a prince--at least, that's what she called him. Grandma had a book in her room with the most wonderful story of all. Although the little girl was too young to read it by herself, she loved to sit for hours and look at the beautiful pictures in the book. Since Grandma and Grandpa knew the story so well, the little girl knew it too.<br /><br /> The hero of this wonderful story was a prince who traveled a long way to save his friends from a wicked king in a far away country. For a long time, the prince disguised himself, and not even his closest friends knew who he really was. Then the day came when the prince was to do battle with the wicked king--and this is where the story gets strange. The good prince didn't take a sword into battle. In fact, he didn't even own one. Instead, he won the fight by giving up his life to save his friends--and he did <i>give</i> his life. No had the power to take it from him, but he laid it down, and then he took it up again.<br /><br /> Now, the little girl loved a good sword fight. She knew that if he had wanted to, the good prince could have wiped the floor with the wicked king. That was the way it was with heroes, but of all the many heroes that the little girl knew and loved, she would always love the good prince best, because he showed her that it was only with love that the wicked king could really be vanquished.<br /><br /> One day, the little girl's mother got married and she had to leave her Grandma and Grandpa behind. She moved away from Lindenhurst to a dark forest where there were lots of scary things that howled in the night, and she forgot about princes and heroes for a while. The little girl was growing up. Then she met a Lion, who breathed on her and brought her back to life. He reminded her of the stories she loved, and especially of the good prince.<br /><br /> In fact, he told her that the good prince was not a fairy tale at all. So, the girl packed her things, took some empty scrolls and went in search of the good prince. She traveled all over the kingdom, and sat at the feet of many teachers. Some were wise and honest; some were swindlers, and some were as wicked as the terrible old king. <br /><br /> The girl learned many things on her journey. She met new heroes, whom she came to love, and she even met some villains that she loved just as much. The scrolls that she brought with her were soon full of her own stories--some about the heroes she met, and some about the heroes she could see only in her imagination. In all her travels, though, she never met the good prince, and she began to think that the Lion had only been a lion after all.<br /><br /> One day a man appeared dressed all in black and riding a shiny metal horse. He appeared to be kind and beautiful, and the girl fell in love. Soon, though, she discovered that things were not what they seemed. This hero was not a hero at all. Finally, the girl ran away and hid under a bridge in a little house with seven women and some noisy kids. There, she also found a book which told the story of the good prince. It wasn't like her Grandma's book. It was tattered and cracked and there were no beautiful pictures, but the girl didn't need them anymore, because she was old enough to read the story and understand.<br /><br /> She discovered that the good prince had been there all along--silently watching her journey and waiting for the girl to turn around. She thought that he would make all her sorrows go away and let her leave the little house under the bridge, but he didn't. He told her that she would have to stay and walk the road that she had chosen, because it was too late to go back the way they had come. He promised that he would stay with her and show her where to walk now, just as he had for his friends in the book. And he did.<br /><br />This Is Not The End.<br /></font></td><br /><td width="300" bgcolor="#ffffff" align="center" valign="top"><font color="#666666" family="Tahoma" size="1"><font><br /><br /><img src="http://img412.imageshack.us/img412/2607/image45cs4.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://img264.imageshack.us/img264/7265/image45zg7.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://img510.imageshack.us/img510/4196/image45sk7.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://img511.imageshack.us/img511/9449/image39ko7.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://img523.imageshack.us/img523/867/image45ol5.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://img508.imageshack.us/img508/7315/image45gy6.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://img258.imageshack.us/img258/5333/image45bn3.jpg"><br /><br />This is in no way a complete representation of my fandoms.
