Describe your Avatar

Also, despite what some people say, Ibuki Mioda is the best character from the Danganronpa series.

Spoiler: And to those who believe otherwise, Ibuki has a message for you

I'll admit Ibuki's pretty fun as well, probably second, or third to Byakuya,[footnote]

Spoiler

the original one anyway

[/footnote] but everything about Gundham, particularly the role he plays in the story, is just impossible to beat and I defy you to explain otherwise.

It's not particularly the main story in which Ibuki shines, but it's after you beat the game and get to do the alternate story where

Spoiler

Monomi beats Monokuma and you get to spend time with the others. In Ibuki's case, the first few times you're doing things with her, it seems like it's just random stuff that she comes up with. However, at the end of it, you realize it's not what you're doing, but how you express yourself when doing things and how Ibuki is just naturally herself when she's doing things and encourages Hajime to do the same and put forth all of himself when he does what he does. Very moving, IMHO.

As for the main story, Gundham is 2nd for me and, especially with how they wrote the story, does even hold a candle to the person that became my 2nd best female character of all time, and the most moving character in Danganronpa 2...

Avatar store, special order by a user who doesn't do the avatar making thing anymore.

So yeah, Team Rocket getting zapped by my favourite Pokemon.

Passing on the greatest forensic sketch of all time to the younger generation.

Mine is an artist's rendition of that time I suplexed Yahweh in 07.

Spoiler: He disappeared from the 'Pist before putting the finishing touches on it

Azreal the cat/Azreal from Batman mashup. Looked pretty cool, snagged it off a random search.

It was made by Cracked columnist Christina H.

My character feature Bigby Wolf and Boy Blue in one of the latest covers of the comic Fables. The story in that issue is a stand alone emotional story that follows in a lot of things that has happened up to that point:

Spoiler

To put it shortly, Bigby is death and Boy Blue (who is also dead) visits him in the other world (the vision of the other world for them depends on the character, so Bibgy's version is a forest full of prey). The motive of his visit is to allow him to see his dead son and give him some closure.

To get more to the point, I will just say the story touched me, and I read it in a moment in my life I needed something like it.

 

[Evonisia]

I change my avatar quite often. Right now it's a frame I took from the music video for "Die Young" by Kesha. I'm a big fan, and all the news about her recently just put me in the mood to do it.

Then I'll change it to something else two months from now.

EDIT: Eyep, I've changed it in two days rather than two months. My current avatar is from the music video for "Heartbeat Song" by Kelly Clarkson. Partially because the song was my favourite hit last year, but also because I quite like the (admittedly shitty) lighting and colours they added to her bits.

 

[MrFalconfly]

Well, I'm a petrolhead, so naturally I picked a semi-obscure car logo.

The blue RS, is the logo for Ford's European Performance branch, called TeamRS (which is older than both the American SVT, and Australian FPV, so in my mind it's the original Fast Ford).

 

[Tsun Tzu]

Mine changes quite a lot because...because I'm all mercurial and mysterious like that, man.

At the time of this post, however-

It's the happy, fun, not at all evil incarnation of the horrible memory of a doomed relationship, ie. girl from the critically acclaimed ME!ME!ME! AMV produced by Studio Khara.

Mainly her butt. And mask. But mainly the butt.

I keep coming back to this one because it's pretty dynamic and combines a few of my favorite things; butts, anime, and creepy/cool aesthetics.

 

[Fappy]

I can't actually see any avatars. All I can see is this stupid thing:

Guess who pressed the red button. It'll stay that way for 24 hours, then go back to normal.

Haha, no dude, it's been like that for months. I ended up turning off avatars completely to make it go away. (Which is actually not as bad as it sounds, because having no avatars displayed improves site load times quite nicely.)

Actually, who was the person who originally said it "only lasts for 24 hours"? Because that person is a liar.

Message ThyNameIsMud, he can remove it.

OT: It's currently Anna from the Fire Emblem series. I always liked her design. I change my avatar fairly frequently 'cause why not? People often say they miss the one I used back when I was posting a lot more frequently, but I've more or less retired Mao. I'm in a different place in my life now, so it'd be kind of weird stepping back to that time... if that makes sense.

 

[Seraj33]

My profile pic is from a super short snippet of this music video. (2:30 roughly)

Spoiler

I love the song and I like the possitive attitude the profile picture conveys.

 

[Kotaro]

Zendrick, a character of mine. Anthropomorphic bat, because bats are awesome.
No, I didn't draw it. I hired this lovely artist.

Spoiler: A full-body reference image, if anyone cares.

 

[EyeReaper]

Mine's just a little game of jump rope. No more, no less. from the most ordinary anime ever.

 

[Silvanus]

New avatar is Sister Jude, played by Jessica Lange, from American Horror Story: Asylum.

I always pick someone angry or frustrated, looking right-wards (so they're looking at the thread). Had to flip my last three avatars, but not Jude.

 

[Mr.Mattress]

My avatar is the supposed prototype of Papyrus the Skeleton [http://undertale.wikia.com/wiki/Papyrus] from Undertale, at least that's what its creator, Toby Fox, thinks.

 

[Battenberg]

My avatar is of battenberg (as in the cake). I made it in paint in maybe a minute and now use it all over the internet.

Crazy story right? Netflix actually bought the rights to make a series about it just the other day.

 

[Saelune]

Mines a bunny...cause I'm a furry...who similar to bunnies assumes everything is out to eat me.

Though how I got it, a long time ago, on a anime based social site, someone just...sent me three pictures, the one I use, a colored full body, and a doodle. I didn't ask them to, or even talk to them before hand. They just wanted to, and did, and gave them to me, and I then used them as my profile pics in various places. I HATE that I cant find where I saved them anymore, or the originals, since I love them. I like how this one is all artsy and kinda depressing...even though its a picture of a anthrobunny.

 

[the December King]

The original (yet evolving) idea behind my user name, the December King, was that I had twelve entities dedicated to the months, born from our own acknowledgement of the passage of time, and they were locked in battle with the four Harbingers of Change, or the seasons, in an eternal war.

I was going to make the December King a giant poisonous snake with a crown. I haven't added the crown, but I thought he looked pretty cool as is.

EDIT: I just realized that there was more to this than just asking for an avatar description, but I think it's rather appropriate that this unfolded as it did- I reacted to a post initially, I then re-read, and more thoroughly processed it, and then I elaborated.

Sums up my posting style as well, I reckon!

I like to present as open-minded and able to see past all kinds of biases and preconceptions.

I suspect, though it's hard to know without asking, that I come across as naive with some definite hang-ups.

What I'm really trying to do is slowly broaden what I inherently accept.

 

[BloatedGuppy]

It's clearly a puffer fish. I like his gormless happy face, and the contrast it makes with my embittered, snarly posting style. I also enjoy the pointless dissonance created by a poster named "BloatedGUPPY" using a puffer fish for an avatar, instead of just a guppy. Blame Google Image Search for returning insufficiently bloated looking guppies when the account was created.

Snip

Unlike SOME PEOPLE, I also prize perpetuity in avatar usage. Tradition is important! Without consistency, there is chaos!

 

[Something Amyss]

Where does your profile pic originate from ?

The Moon hologram. It is one of our reptiloid overladies in a holographic disguise, eating one of her native dishes.

Any particular reason you are fond of that pic to help represent your forum personality.

Well, I am an ambassador for the lizard people, so it seemed fitting. It's not so much my personality as my vocation.

And what is ultimately the most recognizable aspect of your forum posts.

That would actually be my snark.

But seriously, it's Anita Sarkeesian eating popcorn and laughing, because the image of Anita Sarkeesian eating popcorn and laughing amused me.

Because I'm lookin' at you, kid...

And demanding our lunch money, it seems. Please don't hurt me.

People kept assuming I was male because of the default avatar, so I decided I needed something else. I like Dragon Quest and slimes are cute, so, yeah.

Probably not helping with the gender confusing, though.

Yeah, now I just assume you're a slime.

...do slimes have a gender?

Haha, no dude, it's been like that for months. I ended up turning off avatars completely to make it go away. (Which is actually not as bad as it sounds, because having no avatars displayed improves site load times quite nicely.)

It's intended to last 24 hours. If nobody's suggested it, try clearing your cache. Seems to work.
