Not to Touch the Earth, Not to See the Sun

Finally, real icons.

While I do like the international symbol for transgender, seeing it pop up every time I commented was driving me up the wall.

Now I'm just showing my fandom roots.

I liked the colours of the transgender icon, but the Willow icon you just used to comment is absolutely adorable.

You are a BTVS fan, then, I take it? <Willow3

Just a bit!

I'm going to reupload the TG icon soon, just want to get away from it for awhile.

She's my favourite character from the series. I love her and Tara.

Yeah, I can understand that. I usually use my moth everywhere I go, and got so fed-up with the thing that I dyed it a while ago.

Willow and Tara are my favorite too.

And the fact that I came out as lesbian while obsessing over Buffy during the fifth season may have something to do with it. I identified a lot with Willow.

To be honest, I couldn't get used to Tara at all at first, but I really fell in love with her in later series. I like how real her and Willow's relationship feels in the series.
My second favourite character is probably Spike.

The first full episode I saw of Buffy was "Buffy vs. Dracula." I hadn't seen the earlier seasons until FX (I think) ran the entire series. So, by the time I saw Tara's introduction, I already liked her - but I did feel her character wasn't used well during S4.

Spike's a load of fun. I came >< this close to picking up a "Randy Giles?!?" icon. He may be love's bitch, but he's man enough to admit it - and his whole character arc in Buffy lived up to that sentence. Only a vampire who was love's bitch could try to reclaim his soul.

Could you tell me, in *really* simple (luddite-friendly) terms, how to resize a pic (in GIMP) to make it allowable to upload as a LJ icon?

Hmm, I've never used GIMP.

I did, however, find this page, which shows how to resize images with GIMP. If that's not clear, let me know and I'll try to translate.

LJ icons should no more than 100 pixels x 100 pixels, and no larger than 40 kb.

You can upload .jpg, .gif, and .png.
