kraitI'm shamelessly ganking this meme from sylvaine, who posted it here.
In a post about icons and icon usage on DW,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.

He just wasn't on the correct continent to provide driving instructions for this icon. :D The common krait is found in India, the sea kraits in S/SE Asia. I do have an icon featuring the common krait, i.e. Rikki-Tikki-Tavi's nemesis; see icon!
Much as I love Kipling, my default is a sea krait because I really, really, really love blue animals. :D
