itsbuttery asked me about the three icons under the cut.
This is of Asumu, from Kamen Rider Hibiki, episode 8 (according to my notes). He's on the train, going somewhere (he's actually just met Akira, he doesn't know that yet), and like quite a few commuters, he's decided to read something - I'm guessing a manga. To me, that seemed like a perfect set-up for an icon reminiscent of the old "READ" posters, and so I went with it. And since that was when I was going through my "must put Japanese characters into everything" phase, the characters on the left read "Yomu", which is the verb "to read" in Japanese. (I had yet to meet the -te form, which would have matched the English.)

sentai_icons. The lady in question is Nanami, one of the Hurricangers (specifically, Hurricane Blue) - her PR counterpart is Tori of PRNS. The plot revolved around Furabijo (counterpart: Marah) creating a monster/robot so perfect that she's kicked out of the bad guys. She ends up on earth, forms a singing duo with Nanami by accident, they become friends. Then, towards the end of the episode, she betrays Nanami and rejoins the bad guys. In this shot, Nanami is furious at Furabijo and appears to fight her in a kimono with a knife and one heck of an impassioned speech. Basically, in a lot of senses, "Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned" - even, in this case, by another woman.
(For the PR fen on my FL, the very basic plot idea and the monster were adapted into "All About Beevil".)
I have to admit, I was playing with blanking out backgrounds when I made this one. The picture is from my last trip to Sundsvall, Sweden. In the summer months, they have this public art project where neighborhood businesses and organizations get to make/paint their own art - in this case, on a general dragon frame. (They call it the Drakparaden.) This was one of last year's entries, one of the fancier entries. I chose to use a green color to blank out the background, and added text on it. (The dragons I took pictures of are on Webshots, here and here.)
