Is there a connection between your tumblr url and icon?

yes, they're a direct depiction / description of each other

they're thematically very similar*

they're thematically related*

yes, but not a connection anyone else would likely get

no, only inasmuch as they're both things I chose

it's complicated

[*] "Thematically very similar" would be like, your url is a quote about a character and your icon is an image of that character; "thematically related" would be like where the url references a character and the icon depicts a different character from the same fandom, for example.

(To avoid skewing the results, I'd request that, while the poll is active, that you not put this on a blog specifically about chronic pain; "your personal blog, where you happen to talk about chronic pain" is fine.)

"This reads like fanfiction (it feels like it was written by a preteen, and most of such things posted publicly are fanfic)" vs "This reads like fanfiction (it has a focus on character and relationships, like the style of a lot of modern fanfic)" vs "This reads like fanfiction (it keeps referencing people and events with the assumption that the audience is already familiar with them, like how fanfic doesn’t need to rehash the source material)"
