What's With Your Avatar?
 
So this is an idea for a thread I had. It seems most of you have interesting-looking avatars. Care to explain the story behind them? What they are? I have a feeling there might be some good ones.
Discuss.
Mine's obviously Haruhi Suzumiya but I'm thinking about changing it. I'll get around to it later maybe.

I made a blog about mine once.

Long story short I stole it from a metaphor.

Wings of Fire 02-05-2013 01:10 AM

Mine is a plushie testicle.

I actually own it.

My avatar is a product of OANST's fucked up mind and a bastardization of two worlDs, which a member kindly and skillfully knocked up. I forgot, unfortunately, who that was but it was a newcomer who did it.

But it represents gay, inter-racial love and could be used to spearhead the gaylovebetweendifferentracesisokay movement.

The logo from Dick & Dom In Da Bungalow. A children's TV show that was on when I was a kid. It used to be my favourite thing ever, making me look forward to the weekends. :)

If you were the right age and live in Britain, you might know it. Kids today don't know what there missing.

The fuck? This whole time I thought it was a teapot.

YOU WERE WRONG

Mine is a meme that somehow found its way into OWF one fateful day and it had infected everything on the forum. Everything. I'm sure MM could fill you in better on what happened.

I went inactive like right after the whole ordeal had finished and when I logged on again roughly 2 years later my avatar was one of the first things that was pointed out and I've just been way too fucking lazy to go find a better one.

Millennium 02-05-2013 02:15 AM

Yeah, I've seen it before somewhere. I don't know where.
Was there a guy called Dripik with the same avatar a while ago or something?
I dunno.

Slog Bait 02-05-2013 02:18 AM

It's a fucking meme so it could have literally been anywhere. T-nex has the eyes and mouth pasted over her face as well.

I think it might be J_dude, but I'm not 100% sure

My avatar presents a plane, because I like planes.

My avatar is Lyra. She's hot.

Varrok 02-05-2013 02:40 AM

Every pony is hot when you burn it with fire

I dunno man, that kind irritates me. I guess it's fine if you think the ponies are hot but keep the shit to yourself man :/

Wings of Fire 02-05-2013 02:50 AM

I'm with Nep. I also freely admit to masturbating to my own avatar.

Nepsotic 02-05-2013 02:56 AM

I also masturbate to WoF's avatar.

Wings of Fire 02-05-2013 03:00 AM

Amigo!

You must be lost, you poor, poor thing. The exit is over that way.

Stop pointing at a pony's butthole! That's rude

Also, my avatar is now a teddy bear

Nate 02-05-2013 03:30 AM

Mine was just one of the default options when I signed up, and I always liked the rock art paintings. I've only ever changed it (temporarily) three times; when a whole bunch of mods impersonated Alcar, when the MLP craze was going around and I converted my shrieking Elum in to a shrieking pony, and when I set it to the same avatar, but as a GIF that flipped occassionally.

'To' or 'with'?

Slog Bait 02-05-2013 03:32 AM

Arrghgh Varrok why would you change your icon to a teddy bear

It looks like shit. The plane was far superior.

Nepsotic 02-05-2013 03:33 AM

Varrok creeped me out for a second there. Planes are creepy. Thanks for changing it, Varrok.

That fucking scared the shit out of me. Trolling bastard.

Dynamithix 02-05-2013 03:42 AM

My avatar is cropped from this fanmade poster for Drive:

I'm going to change it soon though, probably back to my old Kavinsky avatar.

Varrok 02-05-2013 03:49 AM

I'm getting mixed signals. I'm not sure, maybe reverting to the plane avatar is a good idea after all.

Nepsotic 02-05-2013 03:52 AM

No, I hate planes.

Slog Bait 02-05-2013 03:56 AM

Planes are the greatest things shut your fucking face Nep

hedjeroo 02-05-2013 05:14 AM

I think I specifically made my avatar for this forum. Because I wanted something Oddworld without just using a meme.

I think I had a pony before that. I had a pony avatar before pony avatars were cool.

Jordan 02-05-2013 05:26 AM

Mine is a sprite of Lavos' spawn from Chrono Trigger. Nothing special, just a placeholder until I can find something else.

My avatar is a Live Ammo that was cut from Stranger's Wrath quite early on. I don't know what it did. It's mostly called 'porcupine' in filenames, but I did find a single reference to it being called a Pokeypine.


Havoc 02-05-2013 05:43 AM

Mine is a tiger licking your screen. YOUR SCREEN!!

You know, because I like tigers.

'cause I find game crossovers funny, I suppose. *shrug* Shame my photoshop skills are badly lacking, I could've pulled this off better.
