It's Friday! Let's talk about icons! :D

Do you have a favourite "subject" to icon? Like a favourite character, or a favourite show? Are there people/characters/shows/movies/other things that you always come back to and make icons of? And how do you decide on a subject?

You know, I never really noticed that but now that I think about it, I feel like that's true. The bigger the thing, the more do female characters fall into stereotypical boxes ("hot tough chick", "funny and possibly chubby sidekick", "bitchy ex and/or best friend", and so on.) - possibly because those franchises are geared towards making money and that means they're trying to appeal to white men between 18 and 35. :/

Nailed it ! That's exactly the reason , they'll show whatever feeds and strokes the toxic white hetero male population. Variety what variety ?
It can not be a coincidence that most of my fav female characters are either from small fandoms or are side roles of big ones like Bonnie Bennett from TVD or Sansa Stark from GOT.
