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?

I always look forward to seeing awesome female characters but rarely are they given the chance , screen space or screen time to justify their narratives

Fortunately this has been steadily improving year after year. My top two shows right now feature several female characters, that get proper focus and development, and they both have female leads. In Star Trek Discovery, Michael Burnham is a very interesting character, strong but emotionally available and compassionate, and with relationships to other women. The first season spent a lot of time setting up the main plot and executing it, but the second season has given us a lot more team and character bonding, which has deepened my appreciation for the tertiary ladies for sure. Killing Eve has two main characters, both female, one young and one middle aged, as well as an older female agent. The show is so well written! The women are allowed to be complex, goofy, flawed, brilliant, competent, messy. Such a gem <3

If you're looking for a drama, you can't go wrong with The Americans. Elizabeth is a deeply fascinating character, and there are several other female characters on the show as well. Would also highly recommend Sharp Objects.

Noted . OMG ! Thank you so much for the recommendations. Well I've a huge to watch list of movies and tv shows and they are ever growing because new things keep adding to it and real life preoccupations ensure that I get to barely scratch the surface of the list. I've been hearing about Sharp objects for a while from all SNS quarters , and as it is was curious . It has a huge fan group in LJ as well.
