Guys! Guys!! I need your help!
So, ages ago, I made this icon:
Alicia and I decided that Mohinder and Maya hooking up would be kind of fun. We decided that on October 30 2007. I looked in the chatlogs. The main appeal to us was that they would be making fun of Sylar and generally bond over Sylar-related things.
But it occurs to me that the icon can be misunderstood, and that would bother me. So, advice!
I do not want the icon to be read as “Sylar disapproves of Maya/Mohinder, and so do I and so should you!”
I want it to be read as: “Maya and Mohinder are bonding and Sylar feels left out. This serves him right, haha. Let’s all point and laugh at him!”
My problem may be that I do not take Sylar as seriously as some people do. I don’t worship the ground he walks on. I don’t root for him. Now, I don’t want to dumb the icon down, and it is supposed to be textless, that’s the point. And I think it works, it just doesn’t work for… dumb and biased people. People who kid themselves into thinking they can relate to Sylar more than they can relate to Mo or Maya.
