LOL I LOVE THE KEYWORD FOR THAT ICON.

idk it looks like an old chair in a field to me. WHAT DOES THAT MEAN?

Looks to me like just a random empty chair/bench in the middle of a field/green space. They're more common than you think -- usually in the spring and fall my college puts out Adirondack chairs all over campus, just randomly (though they didn't do it this spring -- wonder why), for people to use whenever.

And it's black and white, so it's probably from a picture that's meant to be ~artistic~. (Not that I don't think it doesn't look good...)

I... that's a chair, right? In a field? I'M CONFUSED.

help help ellie oh my fucking god i'm going to go insane she won't leave me alone i can't fucking handle this. D: D: D: D: D: and this is rly embarrassing to put in this comment, but you're not on aim and D:

At first, I thought it was a slab of metal, but now I'm seeing a chair. Maybe it's some hobo's living room.

... heeeeeeee, i find this amusing, as i actually, uh, made that one. it really is just a chair. or, well, it's from this picture, if that helps the context at all. har har.

also, i don't really care whether or not i'm credited for the chair one, but i'm sort of epically fond of this icon, it was my first colbewart one and it is special and for a while it was unshareable etc etc, so if you could credit me there, that'd be great? :)

it looks a bit like a stalker picture with all the blurry leafy things in the foreground. maybe they are stalking an invisible old person in a rocking chair.

also, current music! love! walka, walka, walka, walk. yeah. we still cool, we still cool, we still cool~

IT'S A FUCKING LAWNCHAIR YOU FUCKING FUCKFACE

Okay so let's analyse this shit.

The darkened cloud in the background in front of the chair almost don't look like clouds at all, but more like a human figure. A shadow? A ghost? It's a memory, but the way the figure is broken in the middle suggests that it's a false memory that was never real to begin with. It's ficticious, something made up entirely by the very person looking at the chair. It wouldn't be them sitting in the chair, it would be someone else. His lover, or someone he wishes was his lover.

Looking at it as thought the chair represents a person:
It's a rocking chair in the middle of a grassy field. Rocking chairs are supposed to represent comfort, yet it's in a place it shouldn't be. It doesn't belong outside, and yet it's comfortable there. It shows that a person can be comfortable with not fitting in with the norm. If it's where they feel they belong, they belong there.
At the same time, the angle of the photo makes it seem as though the chair is sliding down a hill. Downwards into unhappiness? Oblivion? The rocking chair might actually be not as comfortable as originally thought. And the fact that it's where it doesn't belong is making it unhappy. It's in black and white, suggesting a melancholy and drab lifestyle. The bleak weather and clouds in the background only add to this.

Shit, Ellie, your icon is made of emo.

it's clearly phallic.

you have penis envy.
