awesome yet creepy

[kindkit]

I feel compelled to show you all my new desktop wallpaper:




MYCROFT FTW!

I love this picture but I'm also kind of unnerved by it. Because, well, it's not as though it would be out of character for Mycroft to figure out a way to surveil people through their computer screens . . .

ETA: And the wallpaper/pattern behind Mycroft is a Rorschach test for paranoiacs. So far I've seen giant vampire bats and demon faces.

In the background I see a pretty cow face with a flower on her head!

[kindkit]

Hmm, I think that's what I'm seeing as the demon face.

Your brain is probably a nicer place than mine.

[lilacsigil]

Or I see a lot more cows than you do!

[surexit]

AUGH.

[kindkit]

The wallpaper, or Mycroft, or both?

[surexit]

MYCROFT AUGH I WOULD NEVER SWITCH MY COMPUTER ON.

*laughs* I love Mycroft (obviously), but he is creepy.

I see it as a slightly sinister duck. I do not know what this says about me.

[kindkit]

It says your brain is nicer than mine?

Somebody on LJ linked me to the website of the company that makes the wallpaper, and they call it "Devil Damask." I feel vindicated, or at least non-hallucinate-y.

Or more obsessed with waterfowl. Who knows? *g*

It is very sinister wallpaper, though.

Actually, I have now managed to see the demon. But I must admit it looks more like a bird with a cartoon donkey's head to me than anything else (though of course if I were to actually see a bird with a donkey's head, it would be more disturbing than seeing a demon, since I at least know how one would theoretically deal with a demon, whereas the other is quite outside my sphere...)

a bird with a cartoon donkey's head

Which is probably being bred at Baskerville even now . . .
