So... new default icon. I've been going off 'Lick here' for a while now - no real reason, just that it doesn't really look like Jack to me any more (the picture is several years old) and that I feel for me it's very strongly emotionally tied to my early days on LJ, a time when I was very depressed and trying to escape RL by saturating myself with fandom.
I'm better than that now. Not completely recovered by any means but definitely on the way up - and most importantly, definitely more interested in RL than fandom, which can be seen by the fact that most of my posts are now RL-related, whereas when I started on LJ in 2007 they were nearly all fandom-related.
So, time for a new default icon. And I loved this one when I first saw it because it encapsulates everything DW is about for me (I started watching it at about Amelia's age, after all) and also because over the last year or so I have started to finally believe in myself again too. So it's still fandom-related but less fandom-specific and more applicable to RL - my life - too.
ETA: And huge thanks and hugs to my anonymous gifter!
