The small avatar always made me think @gargron was looking up with a big, cartoonish smile, but it turns out that's the nose and the actual mouth is lower and makes him look pensive and now I don't understand what's going on here anymore...

@thomnottom @gargron I always thought the same thing! I still see it that way when I see the smaller version in the timeline. Only on the rare occasion that I click his profile and see the bigger version do I remember what it *actually* is.

@ink_slinger @thomnottom @Gargron dang it I used to see it that way and then I started seeing it the right way and I forgot but now you reminded me and I can't stop seeing it this way now!

@joeld @gargron @ink_slinger It's now like one of those optical illusions where I only see it as the opposite of how I want to see it.

in case you ever wondered what the full-size version of @Gargron 's avatar looks like

@thomnottom Aww hell. Now I see it for what it is, and I'm more sad for the discovery.
