We're on set 6 already, so even if we're really gonna go for a full 10 sets, we're over halfway there already and personally I'm still having a lot of fun with this project, hopefully you (the watchers and other participants) are as well :) Huge thanks to all the lovely people who voted or commented last round, too - the character poll was very close and for the first time more than 3 characters moved on, because of a tie, so this should be another interesting round of voting! Three of these characters have moved on from at least two consecutive polls now, let's see if that happens again or if some new blood makes it past one or more of them. As always, you can find info on what this is, and our previous posts, in this tag.
The icons

Episode discussion
We also watched one episode of each of the shows these characters are from; if anyone is interested in our opinions or discussing the episodes/shows, you can read our thoughts behind the spoiler cut, and tell us your own thoughts in the comments - we'd love to discuss these fandoms :) This was just a bit of extra fun though, and we didn't have to icon that specific episode.
js (1.09 The Dreamscape): Another suspenseful episode! I'm loving all the weird science, and in this episode the highlight was definitely Olivia going back to the tank and exploring John's memories. The moment when he sees her in the restaurant was a shocker and I'm very curious to learn HOW. My other favorite moment was right at the end of the episode when Walter has to say no to Olivia, who wants to go back again. It's a very heartwarming moment to see Walter put Olivia's safety first, even before his science, scenes like this definitely keep him from being a caricature and make him more human.
thyla (1.05 Power Hungry): Lol, this was fun; halfway into the episode I started to wonder why I didn't remember anything about Peter's torture and no wonder, I had skipped episode 4 by accident. I have to go back to it after this one. Fringe hasn't become my favorite series yet but there's something addictive about it. Walter was funny again and the mysteries progressed further. We'll see how long John haunts Olivia and how 'real' it is.
MCU
js (The Avengers: Age of Ultron): Oh well, this definitely wasn't the best MCU movie I've watched for this project. Which is weird because the premise sounded interesting, I'm very much into AI and AI taking over was a pretty cool idea for a plot, however somethinbg about the execution was lacking cause as a whole the plot was pretty boring and I don't actually remember much about it? I did like the twins a lot, as well as everything about Tony's stubborn ways, how he insists on continuing his questionable experiments. And idk, even though I'm usually pretty bleh about basically perfect heroes like Steve, I've sorta grown to love him a lot. He's such an old guy sometimes and I find that super endearing! But wtf happened to Natasha? I didn't like her scenes in this movie very much and usually she's so great :/
The 100
js (1.02 Earth Skills): This show had a fantastic pilot but this second episode was considerably more dull. There was too much screen time for Octavia and the random guy's random romance, idk. I liked Finn more in this episode than the pilot but I definitely don't want a Finn-Clarke-Wells triangle, I hope that's not where we're heading, so Bellamy pls shut up about it. The best thing about the episode was the introduction of Raven, I liked this character a lot from the start and I'm very interested in the storyline of her and Abigail trying to fly to the Earth. Other than that, not much stood out in this episode, but I already ordered s1 before seeing this ep so I guess I'm gonna watch it at some point.
thyla (3.05 Hakeldama): The episode had a suspenseful atmosphere. The group has clearly divided into factions and many are looking for their place. The new chancelor Pike caused a lot of disagreements, but many also supported him. He's much tougher and he wages war. I haven't much liked Bellamy and the way his character has developed. He clearly supports Pike and slaughtered innoents. I'm afraid of what's going to happen to him and if he'll die. Clarke's trying to keep peace but hasn't been successful yet. I'm also surprised that Clarke has forgiven Lexa. I liked that the episode featured Murphy again, after him being absent in a few episodes. His relationship with the girl had developed but I didn't mind, the girl seems like a pretty interesting character.
The Walking Dead
thyla (6.09 No Way Out): This was an exciting episode. I had to be afraid of who's going to die, or if anyone is. Even the main characters don't seem to be safe in this show. I was surprised that the group Sasha, Abraham and Daryl met died so soon. I thought they'd cause some trouble in the future and would be featured more, but Daryl got them killed :D The mood at Rick's camp was suspenseful as well. Zombies had overtaken the entire place and the characters had to fight their way out. It was cool how everyone finally faced their fears and participated in the fight and beat the zombies together. Rick also saw the good side of the Alexandria group and I think he'll respect them more in the future.
Teen Wolf
js (5.19 The Beast of Beacon Hills): Fast-paced episode, a lot happened, and no wonder, there's so much to wrap up before the season ends. I'm so ready for the dread doctors plot, the Theo's pack plot and the beast plot to be over, but I hope Malia vs mom plot and Kira's powers getting out of control plot carry on to the next season so that they can get proper time to develop. Why are there so many plots going on at the same time anyway? I feel like this is a trend in current tv, too damn much has to happen all the time, so the pacing feels too fast. I'm SHOCKED about Mason being the Beast o.O this season has put a lot of decent effort into making him a relevant character but Liam is still the only relatively new character I've grown sort of attached to. Mason is the second least expendable of them, but I still can't say I care too much. I feel like there are way too many characters in this show, which makes it harder to really get attached to anyone in particular, especially the newest additions. Anyway, I totally predicted that we'd see the french madman again. I think the season finale will be interesting, but this definitely has been the worst season and I want to move on to something more interesting. I'm pretty sad about the fact that while Lydia has gotten a lot of screentime this season, she didn't actually get to do much and her character is so different and depressing now. She's still my fave, because of reasons, but I really miss s2!
thyla (5.19 The Beast of Beacon Hills): I was very sad that Mason is the Beast! I like the character, he's sympathetic and nice. I hope he'll return back to being Mason. But I liked that at least two of the dread doctors were killed! Their plot has been good but now I've started to get a bit bored and I hope they won't be in the next season. A new enemy would be welcome. The episode also had too much stydia, which I don't like. Lydia's character in general has become worse, this season she just waited to be rescued, I hope there's more in store for her next season. I also find the Kira and Scott relationship boring, a new relationship for Scott would be welcome, or no relationship at all. But I liked the way the episode progressed the plot, e.g. finding out about the Beast and the dead dread doctors. The 5th season wasn't my favorite but I'm looking forward to the finale. Lots of questions are still open.
Hotarubi no Mori e
js: Oh, this shortish movie was pretty freaking good! I loved the wistful atmosphere, and this was an A+ execution of the starcrossed lovers trope. I loved the bittersweet ending scene especially, how they finally got to embrace for a moment ;__; but basically everything about this movie was beautiful. I loved the peaceful pacing, and the mysterious spirits and their weird fest, and I really liked both Gin and Hotaru as characters. All in all, lovely atmospheric movie, a very complete story, gave me lots of feels for sure.
thyla: This little movie wasn't to my usual taste, it was a bit too boring and didn't make an impact, there wasn't much happening in it. Their friendship was beautiful though and Gin was freed because of it. It was nice to get to admire all the beautiful scenery :D
Supernatural
js (10.1 Black): The 10th season had a very interesting opening which is promising, since this show has been on for so freaking long and lost a lot of steam along the way that it's not an easy task to keep it interesting. But yeah, I really liked this episode, especially the fact that this is basically a Sam-Dean-Crowley triangle drama now? :p I love Sam's desperation and dedication to save Dean, but Dean's a mess and Crowley is always entertaining, I'm glad he seems to have a big role this season again. Castiel is basically super boring at this point, he was my favorite character at some point but only very briefly, now I feel like they're just dragging him along, his storyline is nowhere near as interesting as Dean and Sam's and the angel he hangs out with is duller than dust. But this was a strong season opener in general, I'm interested in seeing how this plays out.
thyla (10.11 There's No Place Like Home): This was a funny episode! The season has been pretty serious, so a small break from that was nice. The mark has taken over Dean a lot and the brothers have tried to get rid of it throughout the season. But in this episode my favorite thing was Dean turning young :D It was fun to watch young Dean even though I prefer the guys being adults :D The episode also made it clear how much Dean wants to get rid of the mark; he even considered staying young to make it disappear. I was surprised at how much I liked the character of Tina, she was quite funny and brave. She had to stay young but didn't seem to mind too much. I found it funny when Dean listed the downsides of puberty :p and I liked the end of the episode with Dean playing 'Shake it off' and Sam looking at him in horror :D
Inception
js: WHOA what a wonderful mindfuck of a movie. This was pretty freaking spectacular, the entire concept was ingenious and I loved how many dream levels were entered here. The story happened on so many different levels simultaneously yet it wasn't too hard to follow. There were some visually spectacular scenes, with the weeeeird dream architecture building, and the hotel without gravity! Cobb and Mal's story was pretty heartbreaking, and those characters had a lot of depth to them. I was actually very surprised that the movie didn't end with Cobb staying in the dream with Mal's projection, it was satisfying to see him move on. The other characters didn't get almost any character moments or depth but this was definitely a plot-centric movie anyway and the plot was so tight and captivating as it is that maybe it was the best this way. All in all this was pretty epic and easily in the best 10 movies I've watched, I'm so happy I found it this way :)
Parade's End
js (1 Episode One): Thematically or genrewise this is not to my usual taste (not a fan of period drama or things that revolve around relationship drama, unfaithfulness etc). But it was an alright watch, actually, I quite liked all of the characters, especially Tietjens himself but also Sylvia cause she's so terrible and that's pretty fun to watch. I don't have much to say about this episode, I did like it as a whole, especially the way Christopher met Valentine. The period-specific stuff about women's rights could be interesting, but depending on how it's handled it also easily could be preachy and I hope it doesn't get into that territory. Basically I just loved that the main character seemed pretty conservative and aristocratic but not a total jerk, which would have been an awful trope/caricature. I hope he won't be ~changed by the power of love~ or anything like that :p
thyla (1 Episode One): It was nice to see Benedict Cumberbatch in this, he's a great actor! This was a period piece, which I like watching. The plot didn't impress me much, I don't feel like watching it outside of this project. Sylvia was a completely awful character, I didn't like her at all! I was just laughing about how the men kept falling for her : D the character was well acted since she managed to annoy me so much which was probably the purpose. The episode focused too much on relationships and romance. I quite liked the characters of Tietjens and Wannop. Their relationship was beautiful. I really liked Tietjens' softer side and how he displayed it in relation to his (possible?) son, despite it being looked down on at the time. There were some good things in the show but it didn't really make an impact.
Feel free to snag any you like but please credit the correct maker. If someone wants to copy this idea for their own character voting project, we don't mind at all. If you would like to join our project instead, there's still room for more as long as you're easy to contact, have time for this, let me do the randomizing and are fine with iconing any fandoms and characters :>

shameless666: First of all the clear, vibrant, well contrasted coloring on Olivia is perfection! Your Daryl icon is striking, the darkness, negative space and the harsh lines really make an impact and give off a vibe that I imagine fits the horror show really well. The Lydia icon is all kinds of awesome, gorgeous text work especially with great font, size and placement choices, loving the huge 'die' and how it's placed behind her. (also lol our Lydia icons fit so well together thematically, I hadn't even seen yours when I made mine!). Love the vibrant colors and textured negative space on Gin and Arthur, and I'm super impressed weith the composition on Tietjens, especially the way you aligned the text with his HAT. That's so weird and clever!
thyla87: My favorite from your set is definitely the Dean icon, the composition is spectacular! I adore the full body crop and the texture use and there's a really appealing symmetry to the icon, and everything fits great together, I love that you made it black and white to make it more cohesive. I also really like the animated effects on Steve and Daryl, and the vibrant colors on Tietjens look fantastic. I really like the coloring on all the Olivia icons, though my favorite of them is actually the first alt, the composition and brightness are great. And finally, the Gin icon looks fantastic, I love the full body silhouette against all the extra vibrant texture splashes!
Amazing icons!!
(p.s. #VOTELYDIA)

and lol yeah, they fit with each other, but that wasn't very hard considering, that these two lines were the only ones she had this season :D she's still hella pretty tough and it's always a pleasure to icon her (#voteLydia, yay!). I wasn't sure about the composition on Tietjens, but I kinda messed up the cutting out and I was too lazy to try another cap, so silhouette it is :D

Thank you guys!! ♥♥♥ I will take my favorite!!
And LOL; I also wanna say; VOTE DARYL!!! :D:D
And haha, omg. So many hearts in there :D

TWD is so freaking hard to color, I try, believe me, I try .. but then ended up with b&w :D so I'm glad you like the Daryl icon :D And also I'm glad everyone likes the Lydia icon, it was one of my favourites as well, yay! :D

- Olivia - the coloring in this is awesome and I love the color combination - cyan & yellow is always a win! The composition is also great and I love the decorative text use!
- Daryl - the blending and the dark coloring in this is great and although I haven't watched the show for a long time, I know a lot of people ship Rick & Daryl, so that icon is right on point :D
- Gin - the blocking in this icon is perfect and I really like the b&w + yellow combination.
Overall great coloring on the whole set, I love the color explosion on the Arthur icon and the crops of Lydia and Dean icons!
On the episodes thoughts:
The 100 - as I've said multiple times, the first 4-5 episodes of the season are nothing to be excited about. I really didn't like Octavia at the beginning as well, she was represented as those mean girls from the movies, very shallow and only caring about herself, but imo she's the character, that has developed the most through the seasons and she'll grow on you (assuming you keep watching the show). And I can't agree more on Raven, I loved her character from the first minute and that never changed, she's still one of my favourite characters on the show. There are multiple love triangles in the first season, but they're mostly resolved in a few episodes and the story doesn't revolve around them much, so they will be over before you know it :D
Teen Wolf - omg the dread doctors plot was awful from the begginning to the end and they and Theo need to go asap, they have long overstayed their welcome. btw with all these plots, I feel like that everything moves too slow idk, probably because I'm not interested in any of the plots and I can't wait for them to be over. I've kinda suspected that Mason will end up being the beast, because they haven't really introduced a new character who's not already some creature and it would have been weird if they went with some character, which we haven't really met. I also never really grow attached to the new characters as well (I like Cory though, but ..) and I never really understood why they completely forgot that we already had a great lgbt character (does anyone remember Danny?), they don't even mention him, it's like he never existed on the show. But of course they can bring back characters no one cares about or actually hates for that matter (*cough* Gerard *cough* Deucalion *cough*). At this point I just hope the next season will be the last of the show, so they can put me out of the misery watching this mess the show has become (because I can't do it myself, I still love most of the main characters) /end rant
Supernatural - this was basically the last episode of the show I watched lol It had it's moments, but I was too tired of the show to keep watching, Crowley was the only reason I finished the 9th season, but one person can't carry a show (well, if CW decides to make a spin-off about Crowley as the king of hell, I'll definitely watch it). And although I love the brother's bond, everything got too repetative (one of them dies, the other tries to save him). I might continue it at some point, but at the moment it's not really a must watch :D Let me know if the season is getting interesting :D
to be continued ...
no subject
- Dean - you're so so good on far crops! I really love this icon, the texture use is great as are the b&w tones!
- Christopher - the coloring in this icon is great and as I said about Tommy's Olivia icon, the cyan & yellow combination is always a win (I was obsessed with it a while ago and it was basically all that I was doing lol :D)
- Gin - great composition, I love the silhouette against the colorful background (and yay for us both making silhouettes icons this round :D)
The 100 - the season started great, but I HATE what the writers are doing to the characters, they're basically ruining everything they build the last two seasons. Pike definitely needs to die asap, but it's unlikely to happen before the season finale (just a speculation on my part). I doubt they will kill Bellamy either (at least this season), I'm expecting he will be the one to kill Pike and that will start his redemption arc (those arcs are my least favourites, so I'm not really excited about it). I'm afraid at least one of Abby and Kane will die this season and I don't want that, love them both. Lincoln will be probably gone until the end of the season, but at this point I won't really care tbh, he's barely had any screentime this season (hell, Octavia's horse had more screentime than him).
Can't wait for the next round!
And joining Tommy's pimping #voteLydia and of course #voteClarke as well :D
no subject
The 100 : I know, right!! I really like Bellamy, especially how he developed on the second season and now they are ruining the character :( It's not right. I really scare that he will die. I haven't seen last 2 episodes yet, I have to watch them soon! Did you like Murphy? I think that he is awesome! :D
And by the way; I started to watch shameless! Which version have you watched? I started watching U.S. I am now on season 3 and it is awesome! :D LOL. ;) Who is your favorite? :p
no subject
And yeah, they ruined them, it's like he's completely different character this season :( But with so many deaths this season, I actually think he can make it, but you never know with this show :D I haven't last the last one either, too busy with other things and tbh this season kinda dissapointed me, so it's not on top of my watchlist either :D I can't decide about Murphy yet, I need to see more of him. This season they have been focusing too much on the new characters and basically ignored all of my faves besides Clarke. I hope that will change in the second half of the season.
And yay for starting Shameless. It was my favourite show when I re-joined LJ, but I think everyone has figured that by now :D I watch the US version too, although I'm 3-4 episodes behind this season (too many shows and no time whatsoever). My favourites are Ian, Micky and Lip. But I love Mandy and all the Gallaghers too. What are yours so far? :)
no subject
Yeah, I thought that you might look at Shameless, some reason ;D My favorites are also Ian, Micky, Lip and Fiona is also great =) And I also really like Kevin, he is vey sympathetic :)
I really, really hate Karen! I am so happy that Mandy drove over her :D LOL, I am so mean xD So, you are now season 6? Or season 7.. ?
no subject
I hated Karen too, Mandy was the best! :D I'm on season 6, season 7 will start next year :)
no subject
Cyan+yellow is one of my top color combos everrr. I just love it. But I didn't think the Olivia icon was particularly successful, so I'm surprised so many have listed it as a fave :O lol I totally made that DarylxRick icon cause I knew thyla ships it and I had no other preference since it's waaaayyyy too gory-sounding for me to even give it a try!
Ohh, I'm glad to hear the 100 picks up and that it's not too much about the triangles. Basically yes to everything you said about tw. The pacing feels super fast (chaotic) yet super slow at the same time cause there's a lot going on yet everything develops too slowly, and we've seen some of the scenes a hundred times already in the out of order clips so it feels like 'ugh haven't we been here already? let's move along now'. (I love nonlinear storytelling when done well, see: LOST or DW's timey-wimey episodes, but this TW season was a mess and the weird ordering of the scenes made it even worse). I think they should have done a similar split that s3 had, that the plot switches for a new one in 3b.
Ah, Danny. I wasn't super invested in him but he had potential (I'm sure they could use a computer genius sometimes to hack into systems and stuff!), but yeah, if they're gonna bring characters back whyyyy Gerard or Deucalion while actually awesome characters like Peter or even Derek are nowhere to be seen :/ I wouldn't mind next season being the last eihter, I think 6 seasons is a good run, and that shows are better off ending in a reasonable time than going on forever and ever like SPN. About which, yay for our shared Crowley appreciation! I totally hear you on the repetitiveness, the winchesters are always saving each other from this or that and having issues with each other but I don't mind, I quite enjoy watching their overly dramatic issues and interdependency even though they never learn from their mistakes and would probably be better off far from each others influence :p I'll let you know if it develops to a direction you might find more interesting!
(p.s. HOUSE BRIGHT FTW, RIGHT???)
no subject
The flashforwards/flashbacks in TW ended up so messy, I completely forgot what happened when. And I remember being so excited when they showed that badass Lydia fighting the Eichen House security, it was great to watch .. but then she ended up spending half of the season in a bed, without doing anything? That was a huge letdown for me. And I don't mind non-linear storytelling either, but on TW they had no idea what they were doing, I don't think they had planned everything, before they showed the first flashforward :D
Danny, Peter, Derek, Cora had also a lot of pottential .. the writers just need to learn to write, we don't need 1000 new characters every season and no development for our main characters. I can rant all day, but I'm gonna stop now :D Crowley is DA BOMB, every time he's on screen it makes me laugh, every show needs a character like that :D But it's looking like Dean will continue to the next round, so I might check 10x02 next time :D
and yay, House Bright, I wasn't sure which one to pick, but I thought this one represents my icons best, so I went with it :D I can't wait for challenges to start, I wasn't around for theiconquest, but I've been lurking around the community after that and I was like "why is this not active anymore? it looks like so much fun!" :D
no subject
I'm not usually against huge casts because yeah, LOST had a massive cast and new characters were added all the time, but somehow it worked cause the general pacing of the actual plot was slower, so it took its time to give each character some depth, usually with flashbacks. TW on the other hand is much more rushed and plot-centric so the characters feel like plot devices and we don't really learn that much about the new ones and if something interesting emerges (like Liam's anger issues - I actually liked him better that way, now he's so basic :c ) it's quickly forgotten and the character is dulled down. But this might be a minority opinion cause TW has a lot of fans who want characters to be perfectly likeable, while here I am still thinking Peter Hale is the best :D annd I actually love Malia, so, not a typical fan.
I'm sad you missed theiconquest! It was really something. I participated, but not as much as I would have liked to, the lack of deadlines made it hard for me to get anything done in any decent time lol. But this won't be a problem at the new comm. I'm super excited and hope I'll have enough time to enter some of the challenges as well as keep up with this project, enter 20muses occasionally and write my thesis... but anyway I mostly joined for the social aspect, I'd love to chat with my teammates sometimes and get to know other iconers better :)
no subject
I hate perfectly likable characters, I much prefer to have a love/hate relationship with them, like you said - Peter for example. Theo had potential at the beginning, but they dragged that storyline so much and now I'm so over him :D And I like Malia too, even from the start, but I remember her getting a lot of hate in the beginning, idk if that's still the case (I don't really use tumblr).
Well, I wasn't here at that time, I got here right after it was dead, so yeah, I missed it :D My plans so far are basically the same - keep up with this project, try to make some icons for theconthrone, enter 20muses now and then (but if the themes are so great every time, idk how I will keep up with everything), and manage to run dailyinspired for a full year (that's my original plan, but there's always potential to go beyond that) and participate in the mmc activities .. lol that's a lot of things :D

Wow, I love how you manage to balance the colors on Olivia. So cool. The Steve icon as well, and I love the text on it! The composition and coloring of the Arthur icon is amazing.
Love the two blue ones next to each other - Steve (the lack of red here is so unusual!) and Clarke with its awesome depth and text. I really like your Lydia as well. I adore the minimalism of your Christopher icon and how well the text fits the top hat.
I really love the colored Olivia (and wow, that second alt is great!), and the animation is used to great effect in both Steve and Daryl.
Great job guys, I'm always looking forward to your posts.
no subject
I think I abused the color blue this time, 4/10 turned out blue, and other 3 were also gonna end up blue, before I realized I had to stop :D and yay for liking Clarke and Lydia's icons, these are my two favourites as well! =)

So here is my very late reply.
First of all, Olivia and Steve are still going strong!
All of the icons are great, especially the Arthur ones. Favorites:
Every time the discussion at the end of the post makes me realize how little I remember from Fringe. I should really re-watch it. I own the whole show on DVD after all.
It’s ridiculous what Age of Ultron did to Natasha! It’s like all of The Winter Soldier didn’t happen, at least we still have traces of Steve and Natasha’s friendship left.
Ultron could have been such an amazing villain, but fell flat. The first trailer made the movie look so creepy and epic. In the end it was a bad copy of the first Avengers movie. I was so disappointed after the first viewing since there was so much potential with the AI, the twins and even Strucker’s whole program. I watched it three times by now and it actually gets better each time, but I can honestly understand that people don’t even want to watch it more than once. If Steve advances to the next round, you’ll need to watch Civil War ;)
Yes, someone else is not a big fan of Castiel! I still watch that show every week and can barely talk about anything beyond S5. I prefer the filler/MotW episodes over the story arc ones now anyway.
Inception is such an amazing movie. I finally re-watched it last year and was completely enraptured again <3

I'm glad you chose the Lydia icon, it was one of my favourites as well! :)

Ugh, so good to hear I'm not alone with being weirded out by AoU!Natasha. And yep, so much wasted potential. I'm actually gonna watch Civil War anyway and definitely waiting for it, I think it's gonna be epic :)
Omg yeah Cas is such a weirdly popular character for someone whose scenes are mostly really flat. I think he was fascinating during his first few seasons but then just... got old. And the s9-10 storylines were some of his worst, though he did get a bit better by the end of s10.

I think for a lot of people it's shipping him with Dean. They see subtext in every scene they share and I'm sitting here thinking "What? Where you getting that from???"
He was a great addition at the beginning, but after two or three seasons I really had enough of him. I have to say that even though I like Crowley, he's also been on the show for a little too long by now.
