Explaining my header/site icon

Hello nerds, geeks, and dorks. Elle here. After redoing my header and site icon, I thought it would be fun to explain all of the things I drew. So, without further ado, what the heck my header means!

So, the first things that catch my eye whenever I look at it are the wildcat symbols I originally had them just rainbow, but you couldn’t see the colors very well, so I dunked the inside black. The reason I put them on there is HSM has always been one of my favorite DCOMs, and HSMTMTS is one of my main fandoms at the moment.

Next is at the very center. My logo! A succulent, because I love them, rainbow glasses, because I have them in real life, music notes/headphones, because I’m constantly listening to music, a Hufflepuff scarf, my Hogwarts house, and the pansexual flag!

On either side of the text is a trident, a reference to Percy Jackson, another one of my main fandoms.

Now on to the really fun stuff. I really love the bookshelves. They have a ton of references and items that are special to me. Plus the books make a rainbow if you put them side by side. Let’s start on the left one!

First, there’s an inkwell. Inkwells are used to represent writing in tons of media, so I thought it would be cool to have one in here. Then I put a picture of a sunflower because they’re my favorite flower. Next is a tiny, really hard to draw, Hamilton poster thingy and my bucket of pencils. Then an owl, because I was obsessed with them for a while, and a plant because I love plants!

On to the right. Up first is the Bureau of Balance symbol. Then a flyer for the Hunters of Artemis, a Mickey Mouse love is love sign that I really wish I owned, another plant, and my jar of wands from Harry Potter themed birthday parties. Last, but not least, there are two musical quotes: Awesome! Wow! And: I’d rather be me!

And that’s the reason behind everything on my header. So, on to the site icon!

Just my logo from above, but without the headphones! (The pan flag’s colors are out of order…)

I hope you guys enjoy. Leave a comment below, I’d love to talk to you! Remember, look to the stars. Aim. Ignite!
