i really cannot stand when someone plays a character or uses for their pb an actor in a particular film/series that gets plenty of screentime

and then makes icons which are clearly pictures of the actors from social events

sure fine you play draco malfoy/castiel/blaine congrats, please explain to me why that means you need icons of tom felton/misha collins/darren criss laughing at a convention table or on stage with a water bottle or posing for a picture with their date.

i can't even explain why it annoys me so deeply. more than blankfaced models or icons that aren't 100x100 and have song lyrics slapped over them.

'gets plenty of screentime'

this is why I'm having trouble finding a PB for an OC. I don't want a well known person, cause it feels wrong to me for whatever reason.

Thank you anon. I hate it when people use well known people for PBs. I was in a game where three OCs used the same popular anime character as a PB and photoshopped them with different hair, skin, and eye colors. It was awful and I'm so glad that someone out there is actually trying to avoid using well known characters even though its harder.

I try to limit myself from using popular characters but it can be pretty hard... Like, I could honestly picture Yuri from Tales of Vesperia fitting perfectly for my OC. But, after a night of thought, decided against it and found another, non-popular character to use. They look a little similar to Yuri so...it was a win/win for me :)
