mega thread Why did you choose your avatar/profile pic?

[Ashen Pathfinder 16,151]

Well, I wanted a change, so I went from beautiful Luna to Sombra...though I'm not sure if I am satisfied with this one. Maybe when I get home...

[Shift 4,271]

Why wouldn't you have Homucifer as a profile picture?

[CosmicHooves 2,705]

I name is my OC's name.

 

My profile picture is what my OC looks like.

I chose this avatar because I think the March Hare and the Dormouse are (were ?)  both extraordinary leaders and I agree with all the changes they made to the Hatter's domain.

[Fl1cker 107]

Dashie is my favorite pony. And she looks so freaking cool on this picture !

I also use an other avatar on my last.fm account for example : http://www.lastfm.fr/user/flicker08

Because Luna might be my second favorite character and I love this picture.

[LZRD WZRD 1,929]

I chose my avi because I needed a lizard dressed up as a wizard and I didn't feel like making anything

[Titan Rising 2,156]

Its from (possibly) my favorite episode and represents what I love most about this cartoon

[Rainbow S.D. 546]

I chose this avatar because when I first joined, I wanted an avatar that looped great. Then I first thought of Rainbow Dash flying really fast, so I searched on Google. I couldn't find any GIF that is small enough to put on the forums. So I worked on my avatar for an hour making it loop okay, it was a pain. I think it turned out great! 

Here's the avatar if I ever change my avatar. 

[Invincible 2,090]

I drew Pinkie Pie myself because i wanted to stay original and not just rip someone's artwork.

Also, Pinkie pie is the most adorable pony in the universe. Need i add more?

[Hurricane 159]

Because Vitani iz best Disney character!!!

[Felix 1,363]

Because Manewitz is my nerdy, adorkable, love. I just like her a lot, I mean. I guess she could be...my Waifu or something. x3

[Yellow Diamond 7,561]

Because Phil Coulson is really best princess.

 

SPOILERS FOR SEASON 5

[CT-1138 3,180]

Well, I love dinosaurs (as per my username) and I love Rainbow Dash, so i figured the two together would be perfect! I've kept getting messages from people saying my avatar is awesome, so I've kept it.

[Bronychan1214 150]

Derpy plus pixel's. Plus derpy is just adorable in general  .

Because I just happened to see that two of my fellow staffers were sporting avvies of glistening eyed ponies, and I thought I'd join the revolution by opting for this cute AJ.

I have this idea that's reinforced by experience that ultimately, I am on my own and shouldn't count on support. Here you see Zecora in the Everfree Forest, collecting water, being depicted as independent and capable of surviving challenging environments. That's how I think I need to be in this world not to get abused and destroyed by people who want to bleed me dry for their narrow self-interest and then toss me to the nearest recycle bin as soon as there's nothing but a hollow shell.

[Twilight The Creator 298]

Well because best pony, dur

[Lemon 32]

Profile name: I go by lemon nearly everywhere. I love lemon flavored desserts and I like adding lemons to spice any dish

 

Avatar: Well my name is lemon....I'm on a pony forum..so why not draw up a quick lemon pony?

[Woohoo 32,565]

Because I like ponies wearing socks.

[AppleLover 146]

Because Apple Jack is best pony and Princess Lunais best Princess in mine eyes!

[TheDarkMysteryMan 670]

I mean come on. Look at her. You can see she's clearly disgusted by my username...

[~ Dr. Ocsid ~ 690]

Because I just love Discord and Q.

[Krampus 197]

One, Discord is awesome and two, the size restrictions on this size are shit, so I can't upload a better picture.

[Fantasma Phantasm 673]

I Wuv my Dear Celestia! Simple as that! That is why my avi is Celly!

[Flutter's lover <3 8,204]

As much as people loved my last avatar of Flutters licking Ice Cream...I needed a change.

 

So I went with this adorable .gif of Flutters.  

 

Had to crop it and stuff. Here's the original.
