[I used to be a stranger 7,993]

Chose mine because the endearing appearance of the interestingly specific non-My Little Pony look of Brianne Drouhard's music video for Parry Gripp's song Space Unicorn.

[Confetti Nova 58]

I guess I'm pretty obsessed with this costumed man in particular. His traits fit a lot of the things I like.

[yayayayayala 1,668]

Dunno if I've already made my point about this, but I haven't the patience to go through 57 pages of topic XD!

As soon as I saw this picture I knew it had to be my avatar. SO CUUUUTE *hnnnnnng*

[sasuke 328]

BECAUSE I'M A FIRETRUCK.

 

(Hehe... I'll change it soon...)

My avatar represents the academic group I'm working for with regards to water contamination! We're not just going to culture bacteria though, because we're going to be extracting DNA to see which organism it belongs to! Did you guys know that millions of people get hit by waterborne diseases in the United States every year? 

[PegasisterJayfeather 397]

Cause Soarin's adorable. And I thought it was pretty snazzy.

[oceandeath 22]

I wanted something cute yet unassuming, and pony-related since this is a pony-related site.

The gif is really something, too.

Who doesn't love Fluttershy and apple juice?

[Bella_Faus 35]

Because....Sweetie belle being her adorable self. 

[Deathstroke 1,564]

My current avatar is of Koshiro and Nanoka from Koi Kaze. I love the artwork of the image and Koshiro and Nanoka are my favorite couple from any form of media. That's why I chose this avatar.

[sasuke 328]

TAILS IS BEST OKAY?!!?!? GOT THAT!?!?!

[Nameless Knight 1,001]

it looks just like my OC's (Times') pet Sabertooth

[honk friend 1,978]

Might have something to do with the fact that it's a picture of Ryuko

And it's an animated .gif

an animated .gif of her dancing adorably

but iunno, those are just guesses.

I chose this pic because [CONTENT REMOVED FOR THE SAKE OF NOT OFFENDING ANYONE] and I thought it would be [CONTENT REMOVED FOR THE SAKE OF NOT OFFENDING ANYONE] while still maintaining originality and [CONTENT REMOVED FOR THE SAKE OF NOT OFFENDING ANYONE] because a mod told me that if I make any more [CONTENT REMOVED FOR THE SAKE OF NOT OFFENDING ANYONE] result in a perma-ban :c

 

so I [CONTENT REMOVED FOR THE SAKE OF NOT OFFENDING ANYONE] on eggshells (so to speak).

 

*forced smile*

 

Also just because [CONTENT REMOVED FOR THE SAKE OF NOT OFFENDING ANYONE] is best pony.     ; D

 

 

*awaiting communal and moderator-assisted chastisement*

[Cosmonaut 76]

I chose mine because Fluttershy is best pony, and Nostalgia Critic is best critic. Enough said. 

[Arylett Charnoa 4,919]

 

I have that picture for when I decide to change my avatar so this post will make sense in the future.

 

Anyway! I chose my current one because I have been massively obsessed with Xenosaga lately. Much more than any other game as I've really gotten immersed with the awesome characters and roleplaying as them. Shion Uzuki is one of my personal favorite characters and the one I relate to the most. She not only resembles me in the first game with glasses and a nerdy girl appearance, but she generally acts similarly. She's very stubborn and determined as I am, though I'm not quite as reckless as she is. One thing I can really relate to is a huge passion for her creations.

 

In this particular picture, I think she looks absolutely adorable, sleek, and shiny with her A.G.W.S. It's a good portrayal, as it makes me feel light-hearted, yet professional and scientific.

it's godzilla he rages if he almost get defeated by mothsus like this some how when he doesn't get hurt he become peaceful it's strange how i get destroyed by red

[Mr. Forest 135]

I switched back to Rapunzel from Tangled because it fits my signature more than the other avatar.  Plus, Rapunzel is my favorite fictional character and I just love seeing her cheerful-self

[Admiral Regulus 2,769]

Because it's cute. Need I say more?

[Guest]

Because Maud and Pinkie are adorable, I adore their relationship and hope to see more of it in Season 5

[RainbowMau 291]

 

There's nothing else to say

[Adachi 772]

Because someone needs a hero to look up to, and who better than Rumble?

[Linds 34]

I've chose my avatar, because it's a part of an commission done for me by FoxinShadow. It's presenting my OC/ponysona, which was created with Fox, who helped me in some details.

[Night Breeze 17]

I chose mine cause its my oc :3
