New Icon!

Made by me, which you can tell because it's kind of crappy.

But, I had to post it; Jade and Anise are part of my favorite after-battle dialogue in Tales of the Abyss, and here the two of them are looking particularly smug (and they are, indeed, playing dirty, which makes it more perfect).

I've posted the dialogue before, but I'm going to again:

Luke: Our weapons are status...
Jade: ...scheming...
Anise (with relish): ...playing dirty.

I had...forgotten, and it's hard to believe.

And just this brings a tear to my eye, remembering how beautiful these books were. I'll have to track all four of them down again.

"I Name you Echthroi. I Name you Meg.
I Name you Calvin.
I Name you Mr. Jenkins.
I Name you Proginoskes.
I fill you with Naming.
Be!
Be, butterfly and behemoth,
be galaxy and grasshopper,
star and sparrow,
you matter,
you are,
be!
Be caterpillar and comet,
Be porcupine and planet,
sea sand and solar system,
sing with us,
dance with us,
rejoice with us,
for the glory of creation,
seagulls and seraphim
angle worms and angel host,
chrysanthemum and cherubim.
(O cherubim.)
Be!
Sing for the glory
of the living and the loving
the flaming of creation
sing with us
dance with us
be with us.
Be!"
- Madeleine L'Engle, A Wind in the Door
