icons by julie

One of the best ways to spend a snow day is iconing, especially for more realistically aged 18-year-olds with plain-ish yet pretty faces and glorious hair! SHE IS SO CUTE AS A BUTTON. Someone please make my life by using her for Ginny. tyvm.

There are SOOOOO RIDICULOUSLY MANY here because she's the main character of S1, and these are caps from the whole season (wonderfully provided by cazz, as always).

As Jonas Vasquez in Skam! He's such a cute lil' stoner skater boy, and with such a glorious set of hair (could possssibly be a brother to a Robert Sheehan PB?). I believe the actor is half-Hispanic, which they also retained for his character in the show, which is great. Caps by cazz, as always. Actor is also 19-ish.

Things I can do when sick: icon, since it takes v. little brainpower.

MARLON LANGELAND


( 300 BELOW THE CUT. )

As Sana Bakkoush in Skam, which is the best lil' Norwegian webseries and deserves all the hype it's getting: it's such a down-to-earth, oddly compelling and addictive look into teenaged life that feels so, so real. And Sana is SO FIERCE AND TAKES NO SHIT AND IS THE BEST, and I hope one of the future seasons focuses on her. The actress is about 19 years old and of Tunisian descent.

Caps by the wonderful cazz! I'm going to icon everyone in this show, because I love that they're not actually professional actors; they're just regular high school students that had to film on weekends and such, so they all look so... idk, normal. (Still very attractive people, of course, but it's just less ~*Hollywood*~?)

What do I do when my internet goes down? I icon. Dedicated to walburga, who was dear enough to send me her blu-ray caps! & I may or may not be planning to become the queen of modern-day NCW icons, js.

-- sob another self-interested icon post. I AM THE WORST!!! (But can never get enough of Cronenberg + Viggo, so there's that.)

VIGGO MORTENSEN


( 127 BELOW THE CUT. )

My childhood bff and I have been completely head-over-heels for Viggo ever since we stood outside his hotel in the freezing cold for hours to get his autograph at the Return of the King premiere. Good times. :'] Anyway, Julie the Icon Santa has taken a small selfish detour, because this batch is totally for my own PBing usage. catwo, idk if you have any need of some of these, but if you do -- HAVE AT. ♥

Also, HUGE HONKING SPOILERS for Eastern Promises in this set. This is one of my favourite goddamn movies and I highly recommend y'all watch it. just. lkdajfgløkdfg ughhhhhhhh I adore the driver.

ALSO if he and Mads Mikkelsen don't end up in a movie together in the forseeable future, I will. I don't know. Cry. I HAVE A THING FOR CRAGGY-FACED DANISH MEN APPARENTLY.

STINE STENGADE

Brb jealously guarding my kingdom of Mads icons. I'm PBing him again soon, so stay tuned to receive a deluge of screencap icons while I churn through movies to find ~the perfect look~. This one was pretty close! & though something tells me Valhalla Rising isn't the right look, I might icon it anyway in case people want a half-naked, one-eyed, tattooed Viking warrior. I'M. JUST. SAYING.

good god I love this man

MADS MIKKELSEN


( 240 BELOW THE CUT. )

WHY IS HE SO ATTRACTIVE I CAN'T EVEN.

Mads is just as fierce and indomitable since the last time I iconed him, two years ago. I love his salt-and-pepper hair. The skeletal bone structure. The cheekbones that could cut me like a knife. The wolfish eyes. I love him.
