Why did you pick your avatar?

Post Reply New Topic

Because I have this shirt and it's f*****g awesome.

Edward Cullen can bite my shiny metal ass.

Because Richard, chief warlock of the brothers or darkness, lord of the thirteen hells, master of the bones, emperor of the black, lord of the undead, mayor of a little village up the coast, and lord of the dance, is a really cool character.

I picked mine,
from my nose,
she is the complete,
opposite of me.

Current one?
Still obsessed with Kingdom Hearts.
Still obsessed with Namine and Nobodies.
Current avatar: Namine's expression seems a bit blank. I often have the same blank expression. There you go.

This is the best topic ever!

I am always changing mine because I'm slave to seasonal and topical influences - and I am very visual - I love to read and write, but I love looking at pictures and symbols even more!

ANYWAY, she's a gravemarker in the Pere LaChaise Cemetary in Paris. A visitor put the flowers in her hands.

I chose her not because I want to be dead - but because I am feeling kind of stone-like and kind of eternal and serene lately. Maybe because its Spring and spring always reminds me of the cycles and rhythms of the universe and that its all eternal.

I chose mine because it describes my personality perfectly

Catweazle=special interest

I chose mine because I recently re-watched Kanon-2006, I quite like the pranks and such that this character does and I think it looks nice.

Because I'm proud

Because this type of bearing enhances my life.

cause i clicked the little blue dog-like thing at teh bottem of teh page and looked through them. This one made me laugh. I also like animated avatars so.

Because Mr Flibble is very cross

I'm obsessed with London and I love vintage vehicles.

Though my avatars are constantly changing, the one I have with me thoughtfully stroking my chin with a puzzling smile looked kind of great.

i changed mine today. the new faceless RULES

i have an avatar which is the B-9 robot from the series "lost in space".
i never had a role model except for that robot. i watched lost in space from about 4 till 8 years old (when ever it was on), and i identified with the robot.
he never had any empathy with the humans he was lost in space with (except in dumb episodes written by guest writers).
his brain was a computer, and he was programmed as an environmentally analytical aid to the humans.
nevertheless, in many episodes, despite his unconcern for the emotional flavour of the scene, he solves problems that rescue the humans from disaster.
they kind of thank him, but no one truly thinks of him as a living being.

even though in my mind the robot was clearly the "hero" of some episodes, those episodes inevitably finished with the humans all looking "knowingly" at each other and the robot was not even in the shot (he was probably parked in his "bay").

he never got his name mentioned in any credits that rolled at the end of shows.

i felt like i idolized the robots powerful abilities of analysis and also physical strength (in some episodes he went haywire and no human could attempt to challenge him except if they removed his power pack).

i just liked that no one else i knew that watched "lost in space" saw what i saw in the robot, and i felt like i was similar to the robot at those ages between 4 and 8.

i do not change my avatar on a forum ever.
i lose track of who people are when they decide they will change their avatar.
