iconography

thezI like user icons. They are fun to look at. However, I feel I must note that user icons with the user's face on them (for some examples, scroll down) freak me the fuck out. I'm not sure why. I mean, just look at the linked example. Is it just me? Does anyone else look at those and go "...ngyah!"?
They DO become less disturbing with time, which is why I can read my friends page without going "ngyah!" every two minutes. Something about having seen the person's face in real life also makes it less disturbing to see it as an icon.
I don't know why this is. My brain is very mysterious to me.
Now, I will celebrate PEZ ICONS I made by linking all six of them here (and that's not even including the default icon, props to![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)

Pez icons make me particularly happy.

(I submit that Londo should have his own Pez dispenser, as should Vir and Cartagia.)

All hail the demon cat!
(It is always a good thing to be on the good side of a demon cat.)

ALL their faces look like plastic.
(And I WOULD cosplay if I knew how to make costumes, or had someone to make them FOR ME, but I do not! Thus, no Pez Lady, no nothing!)
