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

[Patty Thundersnow 4,163]

Because I'm a huge fan of the classic Weather Channel weather icons, and it's the time of the year where we see thunderstorms. Seemed like a good choice at the time.

[Lil'Cinnamon 1,587]

I guess the answer is obvious, cause it's me, and my avie is usually a picture of me (pony) wherever I am sooo. Nothing too spectacular reason wise.

Plus I think he did a really good job with the pixelly animation, it's a cute walking me.

It matches up with my username.

[Fritzy 1,691]

It looks really snazzy. 

[The Historian 516]

Because Miria is almost too adorable for words.

[Megas 27,588]

I have an affinity for smug horses of the Rainbow variety

[TBD 17,254]

Because Rohan is my favorite Jojo’s character and he always make the best expression. 

[Sunset Rose 254]

It was a gift from someone who used to be a friend. The way he drew my pony character was my favourite of anyone who's drawn her so I tend to use his artwork a lot when representing or showing her off.

[TheRockARooster 50,890]

I love Mistmane, that’s why. ^^

Because I really love Loona, and relate to her way too much.

I commissioned someone over Discord to make a physical Con Badge for me that I'd pick up at Ciderfest this year, especially so since I wanted some actual artwork of Virdia / my new main OC. Got the badge at the con, loved how cute it looked, and decided to share it with everyone by scanning to my PC and making it my PFP ^w^

tl;dr - I wanted to share art of my OC / not have it be some generic Godzilla derp face anymore.

Just before getting into MLP, I used to be more active in the Metroid fanbase. My screen name was Remnants and my avatar of choice for the longest time was Ridley -- this one specifically:

Those who played Metroid Fusion will recognize this sprite.

This has been the online persona I took on before I got into MLP. A persona I've somewhat returned to.

What makes this current avatar even more special to me is the fact that my girlfriend made it.

[StarChargeR 91]

becouse he is my oc / persona as if i was in equestria world :3

[Splashee 28,563]

Because I decided to join this forum as my OC, and I'm sticking to it.

[Lucky Bolt 35,062]

Because Rainbow Dash in AJ's outfit is life.

[Here No Longer 5,276]

Because Angel Dust being Angel Dust is too good to not use as a profile picture.

[Fritzy 1,691]

It’s Freddy Krueger as a snowman. How could I not use it. 

[Lulaypp 2,555]

I was looking for some intersting shots of Boboiboy Halilintar and paused at the right moment to get this and thought it was a cool shot.

[Pentium100 2,122]

Because I like Twilight.

Why this specific picture? I wanted one that looked like the show and did not have Twilight facing straight towards the "camera"  because pony faces look a bit weird to me from that angle. Then the picture had to be square to avoid letterboxing or pillarboxing.

Before I wanted to use an OC from a fanfic, but could not find a useable picture of her.

[Clawdeen 12,190]

I love pokemon

Marnie is cool. I love her style.

Plus she uses this adorable lil pokemon

I’ll probably try to find a better icon of her to use later on

[applesjck 5,601]

Because I love Applejack! 

[The Kaeya Simp 13,988]

Who doesnt love Angel Dust?!

that is why

[Here No Longer 5,276]

Because I found it looking around and why not use my actual original avatar from my original account?  I guess a random time is as good as any to have a commemoration of my 6 and a half years of time here. Within which I've amassed over 9000 posts now.

[Savy 5,077]

Because I really like Alastor. Shh.

 

[TheRockARooster 50,890]

I’m a huge Godzilla fan, now and forever. ^^
