Meme: Default Icon

I'm shamelessly ganking this meme from [personal profile] sylvaine, who posted it here.



In a post about icons and icon usage on DW, [personal profile] melannen commented,

(That is also something I've noted with icons: people tend to be really bad at realizing what other people see when they look at them, sometimes because you need to know the fandom, sometimes you just need to know context that was cropped out of the shot. There used to be a meme that went around every so often that was like "explain your friends' default icon" and there were always surprises!

So there you go: Comment with your interpretation of my default icon! What am I saying about myself that I might not know? (No cheating by looking at the description!)

Then feel free to post it in your own journal to see how people interpret yours.

I guess it's cheating that I remember the origin story of your icon *g* mostly I tend to just see "stripy wiggly snake" and know "ah yes, it's krait". Upon current closer inspection I also see the background seems to be a body of water of some description, and there's also plants. And I remember that it's a krait because that's you. But mostly on a day-to-day basis it's just "wiggly snake"!
