What's the meaning behind everyone's avatar?

I like that bird quite a bit as well. It definitely caught my eye and is unique.



Love those names. Zandrian and Nekiisha. Very cool. Loving these comments. It's nice to learn a bit more about everyone.



Use to watch Twin Peaks back in the day. What a series! Lynch is a genius. Kyle McLachlan is one of my favorite actors. So glad he is still active today. Heard they are going to revive it maybe?



Loved the first movie (saw the Swedish version) and I've been meaning to read the books. I was wondering about the character recently and if she might be an aspie.



Love their names! Pixel and Ruby sound like great dogs. I had to google Rally-O but it sounds like a lot of fun. I have two dogs as well. I might try to find something like that around here for them.



Like the avatar a lot. That is Pokemon-related correct?

There is an actual species of sea bird called "the blue footed booby". And I always assumed that that is what that bird in your avatar is.

A third series is currently in production and will be aired in 2017.

Mine is a picture of, well, Misery, the character I got my name from. She is from a game called Cave Story, found on PC originally and I think on the 3DS and whatever now as well. I use the name because I found that her personality in-game very closely matches mine IRL, so it was fitting. Though I've also been told, OFTEN, by people who DONT know who she is, that it's fitting as well. Possibly because I tend to be a bit "dark" and negative by nature. I've been using the name and avatar for a long time now, pretty much everywhere.

Eventually I'd like to do a cosplay of her, but getting stuff for that is such a pain...

Mine is from the game 'the long dark'. It's a homestead in the wilderness. Represents where I want to live sometimes. Feels like I can escape it all.

Mine is a graphical illustration of the cognitive bias known as the Dunning-Kruger effect, derived from the original article by Justin Kruger and David Dunning:

... and my signature more or less follows the same train of thought...

My avatar is me about 2009. I don't look too much different now....a little grayer, and little chubbier.

Mine is some artwork I made on photoshop. I love to combine different images into one thing.

Mine is a picture of Zelo - my bias from the Kpop group B.A.P. It's my favourite picture of him as he is wearing glassed that have a moustache attached to it. I thought it looked adorable!

And a bias in kpop basically just means that a specific member is your favourite. My signature also contains a quote from my second bias in B.A.P. called Bang Yong Guk, he basically succinctly summarises the sentiments I hold in regards to the education system and how a degree somehow bumps up your worth a human being.

I thought that was a picture of you until you displayed your gender.

Edit: oh dear It didn't display my reply.

I remember when I first joined the forums and everyone kept referring to me as 'him' or 'he' and I was left rather bewildered and confused, until it dawned on me that people thought that was me in the avatar - haha, I wish that I was that cute! XD

My wife started calling me "Godzilla" after I destroyed the DVD player by knocking it off the shelf with my butt

I can do some catastrophic acts of clumsiness, often in a sort of chain reaction with one thing wiping out another thing (I trip over the lamp cord, the lamp knocks a jar of pennies off a cabinet, pennies fly everywhere, I drop my drink while trying to catch the lamp, etc.) It looks a bit like Godzilla demolishing Tokyo if I'm in rare form

As a result, the furniture and my clothes have a very much "lived in" look, and at times, the apartment looks like it has been ransacked by hyperactive, demented Cossacks.

I like the avatar a lot. I watched some examples of Cave Story on YouTube. I used to play a lot of similar games when I was younger. Miss those days. Might have to start gaming again.

Cosplay looks fun but, you're right, I bet it's quite a bit of work.



This cabin looks incredible. I do have a dream to own a 2nd home up in the mountains one day. Your avatar reminds of that goal.



This was really interesting to read about. I've got my fingers crossed I'm in the "highly skilled" group:)



Kraftie, your picture is awesome. It's always good to see you when I sign on to WP. Your kindness to other WP members is one of the things that makes this place so great.



Love your avatar, DevilKisses. Very creative. It's one of the first avatars I remember seeing when I joined WP.



Read up on B.A.P. and Zelo. I'll have to check out some of their music.

I too must admit that I thought that was your actual picture for the longest time:)

I really like the story behind your avatar. I, too, am clumsy. My wife will not let me change light bulbs anymore because I've broken two of the mercury filled bulbs in our house.

My avatar is from that episode of Arthur about aspergers. I thought it was soo weird. that I had to have it as my avatar. I think it best expresses my weird imagination very well.

I had no idea there was an episode of Arthur about AS. My daughter's watch this show sometimes. Got to find this now.
