Im in my picture album



                            

Around the Network

Well, I often do, thus it's weird when someone changes avatar

And people have said that I look somewhat similar to my avatar (comparing to the pic in my album), so if you base yourself on that, maybe you aren't that far off

When I read the posts of someone, I imagine his/her avatar saying those words. Heck, it's the same when I read my own posts. But I don't think that's a bad thing.

In that sense: So not the drama.

I can't say I've ever done that, but I do usually associate people with certain avatars.

... I must sound awesome to many of you.



I'm not Yuuko anymore... Now I'm some random gothic lolita anime character i dont even know... Oh and I changed her eye colour to be like mine. Heck if people associate avatar with people then better this one look a little like me!



Why yes, I do get that feeling, OP.

I base my current opinion of someone largely on the impression I get from their profile pic... By the way, what does mine say about me?

Fucking awesome



I hope mine say that I like Mario.

I don't think of appearances, but I do tend to judge a persons character by their av sometimes. For instance.

The Anime Avatar: Finding normal cartoons to be not nerdy enough, you've wrapped yourself in cartoons of a country whose language you don't speak. There is probably a strange odor coming from your basement room.

"Bad Ass" dude with a gun: You think that Bad Ass dudes with big guns are tough and therefore Cool. Your basement room might not smell, but no one will ever know, because no one wants to hang out with that skinny little geek who is always making the angry face and talking about how tough he is.

The Internet Meme Av: You have become so obsessed with the internet and so displaced from the real world that you no longer understand that "Fail", "For the horde" babies and ORLY owls are not actually funny. You're posting here because the internet has taken precedence over the real world for you. There may not be an odor coming from your basement room yet, which is good, because when there is... It's probably because you died in your chair in front of your computer and no one thought to come down and check on you.

This may be an unfair way of looking at things, but that's just kind of the vibe I get when I see those avs.

Good to know that I'm not the only one who is horribly judgemental when it comes to something as silly as an avatar.

I do think you can glean a fair amount of information from a person's avatar, though.

avatar is a good way to recognize members, i can hardly remember members without avatars, i never base the looks of the members on their avatars unless the avatar is their picture, and yes i am a badass monkey in a suit holding a gun.
