Aaah!So late to post this for Round 20 at icons10in20 where we had to icon things that made us happy in 2020 or choose themes from older challenges and create icons. I chose the Joys of 2020 so here they are! Hover for fandom. Some explanations are under the icons if anybody is interested!XD

01. 02. 03. 04. 05. 06.
07. 08. 09. 10. 11. 12.
Explanations:
1.The Untamed is the show of this year for me,I ended up finding a very active fandom,very lovely friends who ship what I ship and stayed out of the drama filled zones. Win win!

2.I practiced a lot of baking,making cakes,designing them and I'm so happy with the progress that I ended up making this year!
I mean I went from sloppy flowers to...not sloppy ones!



3.Spending time just sitting,chatting and having tea with my parents happened so naturally,the lockdown days were lonely but also peaceful.

4.BTS songs are usually great but nothing too special for me.However, Dynamite came out at a time when I was just so freakin sad about everything,felt so down that I ended up going MIA from my social media with real friends. This song was so cheerful,so hopeful and it just did something to me that lifted my spirits up a lot. :)

5.Soooo,I never got around to properly watching the Kung Fu panda movies but my neighbour's children were watching it and I ended up watching it with them and I can highly recommend it even if you're like nearly 30 yrs old,lol.

6.I finally watched The Dragon Prince!I love the characters more than anything to be honest but Claudia,haha,she has my heart!

7.This anime is just such a feel good anime,so light,so cute, not complex,I'd recommend it if you need a little unwinding with a cup of tea/coffee and a slice of cake!

8.Aaaah Crash Landing on you.How everyone talked about it!And for good reasons. The drama! The love, the couples and the realistic but happy in a way ending-just loved it!!

9.I finally watched all 3 Rush Hour movies properly because I wanted to introduce my neighbours' kids to some good old,action,police,comedy movies and I can say, they have good taste in movies now,lol!

10.Super M is one Kpop band that has my heart.I love these boys and the way they're working hard,bringing out one amazing song after another!

11.I got to draw a lot of fanarts this year,some for the drawesome community and quite a bit for The Untamed and Mo dao Zu shi.

12.This Chinese show-awww.Modern-day author finds herself waking up in her story that wasn't working out so well and hilarity+drama ensues! So much drama,it was a bit long (24 epsiodes!) but very cute and satisfying!

omg all that cake and decor

[classysleuth]

Wow! Your flowers at the beginning were amazing and your later ones are gorgeous! I'm so hungry now.

I really like 2. The borders are cute and fun. I really like the layout of the image. 3 is so cute! The colors for number really pop. I love your design for that one. Its so cool looking. 6 has a great crop of Claudia and the color suits her perfectly. 7 is another super cute one. The hearts are adorable and I like how the background fades. The art for 11 is beautiful. I like how you can see the individual raindrops.

Great colourful icons and amazing cake.

The panda icon was the first one that caught my eye 05 - the deep colours and action. And then the very pretty anime one 07.
No 01 I love because I know the figures and love them. Wangxian forever!
No 11 is a lovely drawing of a sad moment.
No 09 I love the cutout and the skyline. Very neat! ;D

PS. Are you opening a cake shop soon? Super designs and yummy too.
I'll be shopping there as soon as we can go out again. XX

Love the icon set! Your lighting and colors are fantastic! And I'm thrilled you watched The Dragon Prince! XD

The Untamed looks like a lot of fun, but I'm not sure if I can handle another large fandom. Happy to see it has inspired so much in you though.

Your baking looks remarkable. I love the colors you choose. You have a good eye for that.

Crash Landing on You was such a good one. It makes my heart ache and feel warm at the same time.

Beautiful icons as well. Thank you for sharing the reasons behind them all.

Interesting post and great icons, I especially adore #9 and #12!

[luminousdaze]

Great icons, my faves are #4-5 & #9 and your confections look pretty, especially the dark red & gold set of cupcakes! 😋

[tinny]

Your cakes are just the most awesome things! That's some cool skills you have! <3

I love your summary of the set! I love reading background infos for other people's icons. Rush Hour! \o/

I especially like 4, 5, 9, and 11.


p.s.: is there an active Untamed fandom on dw? I'm not into it, but my friend solo complained that she doesn't have anyone to squee about the show with.

Dynamite is such a perfect example of a happy pop song. Totally agreed it's what I needed this year!
