Rome in icons: Agrippa, Octavia and Anouncer Guy

[alexandral]

I am having a cold, so half of the day I was laying in bed watching "Master and Margarita" (I have an excuse, right?) and then I fell asleep and had a dream and in my dream I was making icons of "Rome". And also balenoptera said something about icons of Agrippa. And YAY! I thought! I have an excuse here!! And I liked Agrippa very much and I hope that he and Octavia will have a beautiful, star-crossed and purely fictional romance. :D Because I also like Octavia, but she is always in the shadow of Atia and Octavian and never seems to have an opportunity for her own happiness. Knowing who she is going to marry I don't think she will ever have any happiness, but still, can she have a secret romance like balenoptera said? Please?.

Also queenofthorns and I were talking about how great the Anouncer Guy is, so I felt I must make some icons of him as well.

Icons are free to share ,if you like I will make customizations, like text and etc., for you.

Ooh, Agrippa is cute.

I shall endeavor to watch Rome tonight. You and queenofthorns make me regret not watching things right away.

However, the sick may overcome the desire to catch up on TV and I'll sleep instead. Weekends are good for marathoning anyways.

Ganking 14.

Ooh, Agrippa is cute.

That what I thought as well :D - It usually takes some time for me to warm up to the character, but I liked him immediately. WATCH ROME!! It is an excellent episode!!

Yay icons! YAY! I love them, and the coloring is so great. They seem so light and vibrant. I'm of course taking some Agrippa icons. Hee - but I must have one of the announcer as well.

And I love the last one of Octavia. She looks like a goddess.

And looking at these beautiful icons I want to watch the episode one more time. :D

[alexandral.livejournal.com]

EEEE! Thank you so much, dear!!

No wonder Agrippa is so smitten.

Oh, I don't dare, I think. Pullo/Vorenus scenes made me quite upset. I should re-watch the scene with Agrippa (And I have already done so :D)

Well, if it makes you feel better, in RL Octavia wasn't forced to divorce her first husband but was married to him for years, until he died actually. So she wasn't quite so miserable :)

[alexandral.livejournal.com]

EEEE! Thank you so much, dear!! But she still married Mark Antony at the end, didn't she??

what wonderful icons! i love octavia (or rather, i love smirking at all the utter CRAP that happens her) and announcer guy so this made my day.

agrippa...looked like he came straight from the shire.
so. maybe octavian is gathering his forces in the shire...just sayin.. XD

[alexandral.livejournal.com]

I am so glad you liked them!!!

He did, but wasn't incredibly CUTE? I am totally smitten. :D

[jenandhughlove.livejournal.com]

The last one with Octavia is very nice. I understand your "obsession" with icons, it's happened the same for me.

[alexandral.livejournal.com]

EEEEEE! Thank you!

I understand your "obsession" with icons, it's happened the same for me.

The funny thing is that I don't usually succeed in making icons for something I don't particular care for. I tried few times, but it never works. but when I like something, I making icons is my way to express my love for it. :D

[sophieisgod.livejournal.com]

Yay! Your Rome icons always make me feel slightly less impatient for it to be March already!

And Agrippa looks a bit foxy...

[alexandral.livejournal.com]

** wishes that March comes very very quickly **

And Agrippa looks a bit foxy...

I am absolutely smitten, he is SO CUTE!!

[mnemonaut.livejournal.com]

Just wanted to say these icons are gorgeous - very well selected and cropped. I especially like the last one, it looks a Pre-Raphaelite painting.

[alexandral.livejournal.com]

Thank you very much for your lovely comment!!!

[petzipellepingo.livejournal.com]

Oh goody! Announcer Guy icons. Taking those and will credit.

[alexandral.livejournal.com]

I am so glad you like them! I have a special place in my heart for the Announcer Guy. :D

[alexandral.livejournal.com]

Oh, thank you so much, dear! I have finished episodes 14 and 15. HAven't dared to watch episode 16 yet. :(

[the-grynne.livejournal.com]

Just repeating everyone else in the "Yay Agrippa!" I haven't even seen the episode yet and I squeed totally at the sight of his winsome mug.

Also, love your icons.

[alexandral.livejournal.com]

Isn't he just a complete definition of CUTE? And he seems to be a very nice person too. :D

And thank you so much!!

How much do I adore your Rome icons? Agrippa! Octavia! Announcer guy! You are made of awesome, my dear. Get rid of your cold and feel better soon. *Hugs*

Also, I am so snagging all of these and making room for them. Heeeeee. Thank you for sharing your love of icons and Rome with us. (But there is no bearded Brutus! Heh.)

[alexandral.livejournal.com]

EEEE! Thank you so so much, dear! I don't usually get too unwell, but SICK IS NOT NICE!

But there is no bearded Brutus! Heh.

I am so so upset for Brutus, but if there is a need I can make one. Just give me a hint. :D

[jenlev.livejournal.com]

wonderful icons that really capture how beautifully lit the show is. and, hope your cold departs quickly.

ps. cool to dream the action that you can then take with the icons. :)

[alexandral.livejournal.com]

EEEEEE! Thank you so much!! I am already feeling much much better, luckily my cold never lasts long.

[lesbiassparrow.livejournal.com]

Gorgeous icons as always - so gorgeous I can't decide which ones to pick!

[alexandral.livejournal.com]

EEEE! Thank you! ( I am alredy having a crush on Agrippa)

[coldocean.livejournal.com]

EEE! Taking #3. I love Agrippa from history (my current icon) and I love HBO's Agrippa and I love your Agrippa icons! Happiness all around. :)

[alexandral.livejournal.com]

Thank you so much!!! I really liked Agrippa in HBO's Rome (and I think he looks very attractive on your icon too :D)

[queenofthorns.livejournal.com]

EEEE! The Announcer! KoT and I have been imitating his gestures a lot and doing the "crushed" thing he did :P You are so awesome for all of these icons.

And the shot of Octavia really is quite lovely - no wonder Agrippa is smitten. (And he is like a much, much handsomer Sean Astin, I was RIGHT! ::loves::)

(Also, do you know he was from a lesser rank than Octavia, not quite a patrician like her? So all the more "doomed" romance, but like you I hope the poor girl gets to be a little bit happy!)

[alexandral.livejournal.com]

EEEEE! I am so glad you like!!! I was absolutely fascinated by the "crushed" gesture. The announcer guy always makes great gestures, but this one was SPECIAL!!!

Also, do you know he was from a lesser rank than Octavia, not quite a patrician like her? So all the more "doomed" romance, but like you I hope the poor girl gets to be a little bit happy!

EEEEEE! You are making me very very happy!

[wildtiger7.livejournal.com]

Agrippa icons! Very cool! I took #1. Thanks for posting these.

[alexandral.livejournal.com]

Thank you :D I am really smitten by this Agrippa.

[berniesmommy.livejournal.com]

awesome, as usual!

[alexandral.livejournal.com]

I am so glad you like!!!

[jedistardust.livejournal.com]

omg, I love announcer guy and his crazy hand movements lol <3

[alexandral.livejournal.com]

EEEEEE! He is one of the many things that make "Rome" so special for me!!

[jenandhughlove.livejournal.com]

Brutus and Octavia are my favourite! Thank you. :)

[alexandral.livejournal.com]

EEEEE! I like Brutus in this production very much too, he absolutely changed my pre-conceived notions about what he was like.

[mnemo-syne.livejournal.com]

Agrippa reminds me of Emilio Estevez. But cute. Heh. Awwww.

I love scruffy Brutus! Taking 18 and 20, thanks.

[alexandral.livejournal.com]

It is amazing how well a bread can suit a young man. :D Enjoy!!!!!!

[poohmusings.livejournal.com]

EEEEEEEEE! queenofthorns sent me here and LOVE. Snagging a bunch. Thanks!

[alexandral.livejournal.com]

Thank you so much!!!!!!!! I am so glad you have found something you like!!! Enjoy!!

[thepiratequeen.livejournal.com]

I'm taking one or possibly all of the Brutus icons. Cause bearded Brutus does funny things to me. Naked Brutus not so much but on repeat viewings I'm super digging the beard.

[alexandral.livejournal.com]

Oh, Brutus broke my heart in HBO's "Rome". Huge props to Tobias Menzies. But yep, the beard suits him very very much. :D

[kristibisci.livejournal.com]

Agrippa is darling! I want to see much more of him. Do you mind if I take 3, 4 and 17?

[kristibisci.livejournal.com]

Ooh, and one of announcer guy. How could I forget? LOVE him.

[hoosabrat.livejournal.com]

Taking 8. Thanks!

I am so glad you like!!
