Last Icon Musings
Okay, so I've got 14 out of 15 icons set up, and I realized that perhaps that last icon should be referencing my Healer tendancies?
But then I figure, I don't have a Freyr icon that isn't shared with AF and Stag... Do I want one?
I don't have an icon that specifically addresses my Seasonal stuff, which I'd considered getting.
And... um... the more I ponder, the more I keep thinking about this image by Stephanie Law (who else?). Stag represents Life, and Fertility, and Freyr, and AF, and of course Stag himself, Blue Roses represent Death, and the painful aspects of realizing love, and a bunch of other stuff, to me - and amusingly enough, both reference Heather Alexander, in my mind.
I've even made an icon of it. But it seems like A) that's not enough and B) it doesn't resolve very well on that scale. So... I don't know.
Yes, I know, it's just a digital image I can replace any time. That's not the point. These are symbols of Self to me. They're called "icons" and "avatars" for a reason, after all. I care what they represent, and pondering them is another way of pondering the proportions of what makes me what and who I am, what I care about, etc.
On a related Meme Note: Making this was kinda fun:
