Smiley request: firefly

[Sauron]

Come on, liv.

:signpls: :praying:

[livius drusus]

I'm working on it! That's why those bastards JoeP and godfry have been putting the word in colons, 'cause they know it drives me batshit and I break my back to find something that'll fit that smileytext.

:shakefist:

[Beth]

http://www.beaniemotion.com/GlowAnima.gif Best that I could find, thus far.

[livius drusus]

Um... That's kinda scary, Beth. Also, its ass doesn't light up.

[wei yau]

MOTHRA!

[Sauron]

Liv, you don't need to actually do the firefly insect itself. Just the visual effect.

Do a square black box, with a half-dozen slowly illuminating lights that blink on, then off, in a random pattern. But the lights are so small that you don't even draw the firefly.

Oh, and add the sound of crickets to it.


No, the Dark Lord isn't demanding or anything. :D

[wei yau]

No, the Dark Lord isn't demanding or anything. :D

Saruman at the Palantir:

"I do your bidding, Dark Lord."

"Er...come again?"

"Dark Lord, I must be getting some interference from Denethor's Palantir. Would you mind stating that again?"

"Oh. I see."

"Yes, yes, I'm sure it can be done. I'll have the Orc pit masters get started on that right away."

"Yes, I understand completely. Yellow twinkly lights emitting from the nether orifices of the Uruk-Hai. Absolutely."

"Right, right, of course...not Elvish lights at all. Suitably Orcish lights."

"Well, I'm gonna have to go if you want this done right away. Aside from the matter of the Orcs themselves, I'll have the blacksmiths cut holes in the armor. Can't have the twinkly lights of Mordor covered, now can we?"

"Okay, okay...I gotta go. What? Yes, I love you, too."

It's a cute idea. I have no idea if an animated gif will support sound -- I strongly suspect not -- but the rest of it seems quite doable.

Still, I've done my part already. We now have a :firefly:. Perhaps another smiley-inclined poster will take on the burden of satisfying the Dark Lord.

(ummmm...not to be an ingrate or anything, but shouldn't it be against a dark, or darkening, background?)

I don't usually make colored backgrounds for smilies just because they seem... I dunno... wrong. I'll see what I can do.

[ceptimus]

What we need is a [bgcolor] tag to alter the background color of a whole post. Or maybe if there was a way of enabling the [table] tag, complete with its color options...

[Crumb]

Or maybe if there was a way of enabling the [table] tag, complete with its color options...

This is a very cool idea.

Does /you agree?

[JoeP]

Wait, where are my standards?

There's one missing. The left side apex. Fill the gap. Dear God, Joe, fill the gap.

[JoeP]

They're fireflies. They flit about at random. They understand the concept of symmetry but they abhor it.
:firefly:

[livius drusus]

/me softly weeps.

[JoeP]

I trust you won't hold the fireflies' nature against them. Or me. They love you and they celebrate your different perspectives.

They are minions of the dark lord, En Tro P.
