icon fads

You notice trends in iconning?

We had ever-popular "my fandom" trend.

We had the never-ending poem sets and song sets trends (which I love.)

I notice the previously recent and much-loved trend of having small type text, but with one emphasized word set in larger, prettier, more colorful font (we'll call it the Pretty Word Emphasis trend), is now being slowing replaced with the Fragmenting trend. Everyone has their icons fragmented by lines or boxes, sometimes even having one section be animated while others aren't.

I wonder how long that will last, and what the next trend will be.

Ooh yeah, and there was the "No Apologies" one too...

I hope the latest trend will be icons featuring cucumbers. Because that'd just be cool.

:g: Well, you can just guess what kind of lewd and naughty captions cucumbers are shaped to inspire. People would love it.
