No complaints from me!

As for mine...it's very deer to me. *Scruchy deer face @Jeric *

I will say I miss your Gamer Luna avatar. You know, you guys should add a "Throwback Avatar" event on the calendar where people switch to an old avvy for a day. 

 

Anyway, to answer this question legitimately, I came here with an avatar of an exoplanet named Pegasi 2b that is my general avatar in most forums and social media platforms. I enjoyed it because it also worked as a clever FiM joke. 

I swore that I would not permanently change that avatar, but in late 2014 I stumbled upon an image in the Rarity Fan Club and it was the best depiction of how I viewed my favorite character on the show, so I broke from a long standing tradition and used it. IIRC the reaction to me finally embracing a pony avatar was amusing to say the least.

I felt like changing it to my PPG OC, Berry.

[Black Heart 1 11]

For me it's just how I am I act like a cold-hearted person but deep down I'm completely different

[General Solar Magus 469]

Its because I saw the Hercules animated movie recently .

[Nerdy Luigi 2,064]

Luigi in sunglassaes? Why not?

[King of Canterlot 9,588]

Because if Rainbow Dash ever became the leader of Equestria, I think she would turn into a brutal communist-dictator.

To match my name mostly.

I used my already existing oc as my avatar. What else would I use?

[MilkTea 283]

I used my own art of a character from Danganronpa, cause I think she’s supremely cute, plus I already had it handy so why not : P

And if I do ever change my icon, it’ll probably always be my own art. I just like the idea of making my own icons better.

[CheeryFox 23,811]

Because it's Spooktober and I love Lewis Carroll.

[Passion 3,478]

I tend to change avatars on every whim, but not this time. The avatar is here to stay for long as I always was, still am and will forever remain Linkin' Park's soldier.

[MintTiramisu 105]

Because Fluttershy is adorable <3

[Venomous 18,813]

Fleet Foot is best Wonderbolt.

[Angle Alastor 3,805]

i choose her as my avatar becouse she is my persona :3

[Prospekt 10,984]

I chose mine because 1. it's Twi and 2. it's her Nightmare Night costume. Probably going to change it after October.

Spoiler

Also, Starswirl apparently plays a role in the Season 7 finale. But this has nothing to do with that.

 

[PinkiePie97 913]

I really liked the Unikitty sneak peek and I can’t wait for the official premiere.

[Sparklefan1234 161,969]

I chose this picture as my avatar because, Rapunzel is my cartoon crush. 

[Prospekt 10,984]

New avatar now because it's ADORABLE! Book horse being book horse.

[CheeryFox 23,811]

Because it's awesome af and gorgeous! 

[Olly 1,008]

because I am him. We are one.

[Crosswind 629]

Because it represents what I love. Drawn by the awesome @Ezerona

[StrawCherry 1,673]

Because Christmas is right around the corner. Whether it's in a good or bad way, Christmas is Christmas and Starlight is precious.  Excuse me, Snowfall Frost.  

[Gabriel 560]

Because I love the cover arts of corny 80's slasher flicks.
