Icons!

[snickfic]

Now that we are here on DW again, you might want to bulk up your collection of icons, particularly for the cosmic MCU. ;) I've collected a bunch of people who have posted some cosmic MCU icons, and I'm putting it here for your perusal. Be sure to credit the maker when you upload! It's also nice to comment on their post letting them know what you took and thanking them for their efforts. :)

If icons were hosted on photobucket, they now have a watermark when linked elsewhere, which is annoying! You don't want an icon with a watermark on it. Here are some steps you can try to get at a copy you actually want. Say you're on this page and you want that first icon (which happens to be a Stargate Atlantis icon). Right-click on the icon and select "View Image."

Great, now you're here, and you can still see the watermark. Not helpful! However, notice the actual address:
https://p.dreamwidth.org/9b439c34e9fa/1322237-85627/img.photobucket.com/albums/v506/a_gal_icons/SG%20Atlantis/SGA/a_gal_icons151130_Sprinkle.jpg

Delete everything before "img.photobucket.com" and then stick on "o" in front of "image," so your address is now this:
oimg.photobucket.com/albums/v506/a_gal_icons/SG%20Atlantis/SGA/a_gal_icons151130_Sprinkle.jpg

Voila! You should now have an icon with no watermark, which you can save by pressing ctrl+s or by right-clicking on the image and selecting "save as." This is an annoying series of steps, but still much better than not being able to download your icon. (FYI I figured this out by playing with my browser's built-in element inspector.)

Oh my godddd I've just saved loads of icons which I thought just had a nice little text stamp thing on them and I just realised that it's actually the photobucket logo! FML why am I so blind lmao, thanks for this workaround it's gonna be a lifesaver!!

Oh no! I hope the fix is helpful for you.

I just discovered shithouse (multifandom including Marvel and DC, has a number of cosmic MCU sets) and in addition to ICONSES, they have hilarious descriptions/cut text/etc, e.g. this Ragnarok batch.

Oh, awesome! I will add them to the list.
