Though, that's all just my interpretation. I thought it was odd that I just assume people are their avatars until proven otherwise (stranger still because I'm using this avatar right now basically out of laziness.)

I see some people as very much their avatar and then with you it's just like yeah, sedron is that guy who is cool and makes cool stuff and has a Sneasel avatar but I do not see him as a Sneasel.

I seriously wonder if I accidentally made people associate me heavily with Lyra and/or Zinnia :(

curious about this: did any of you get a first or lasting impression of my personality from my avatar? does it have an effect on how you interpret the tone of my posts?

Yeah I'm always amazed at how well you can type with the sock and slipper on your hands

you always seemed like a super cheerful, funny and upbeat person to me. avatar factors in to how I perceive someone but it doesn't affect you negatively if that's what you're worried about!

Do any of yall watch RWBY? Juuuuuuust curious.

i tend to associate people with the image of their avatar, but not the personality of the character in it. so like, yeah, when i imagine "Tavi" I think "green pony" but nothing about Lyra as a character (canon or fanon). so while it'd be jarring if i saw a photo of real-life you, i wouldn't think "oh she doesn't sound/act a thing like Lyra that's weird" if i had a conversation with you in person.

if that makes sense

Your avatar helps your posts seem pretty calm and level-headed. It's weird, but with Jon's expression it's like he's super nonchalant about the weirdness.

that's nice to hear! i honestly originally picked the picture because i loved how sassy Jon looked to me, but because of that i was a bit worried just recently that maybe i come off as rude because of it

but i like that "weird and nonchalant about it" is how it comes off, because that sounds more like who i am, or at least my personal impression of myself

[freakin whatzit]

now i'm wondering how you guys perceive me.

[Whimsical Calamari]

now i'm wondering how you guys perceive me.

personally, you're new enough that i haven't even really had time to internalize an association between you and your avatar, much less form a full opinion of you.

all i can say is that you seem friendlier than the average person, which yeah that's not much to say at all

those eyes are the eyes of one who has stated into the void and had the void stare back

I wonder the same thing tbh

I should probably change my avatar to something I want to represent myself more, but it's the third avatar I've had here and the one I've had for the longest by far. So it's kind of... a brand. It can't be changed, yet it should be.

[TaviTurnip]

I would ask how I've been perceived by others in that fashion, but I think I do so much paragraph-shaped talking that people have opinions of me regardless of my avatar `~`

i tend to associate people with the image of their avatar, but not the personality of the character in it. so like, yeah, when i imagine "Tavi" I think "green pony" but nothing about Lyra as a character (canon or fanon). so while it'd be jarring if i saw a photo of real-life you, i wouldn't think "oh she doesn't sound/act a thing like Lyra that's weird" if i had a conversation with you in person.

I met a long-time online friend at a fighting game tournament last year, he plays Akihiko in Persona and always had Akihiko avatars, and even though I always pictured him as Akihiko and even though I don't even read his text in Aki's voice, it was still weird to find out he looked like a normal human in person instead. It's weird how the "image" can stick even if intellectually you're smart enough not to associate the voice as well, it's an odd disconnect. I don't think you sound like Jon at all, but the image is there nonetheless :P It's just how it goes.

I know it's probably because I haven't been here long enough but I find it really hard to imagine that you might have had a different avatar at some point.

[swirlybomb]

My avatar is extremely literal.

[Megafonzie]

I've been using the same avatar on all kinds of websites for probably like 5 years now. I'm in the same "I will definitely change this if I can think of something better" boat, though. Honestly I'm not even a huge Pokemon person, I just liked how it looked and it stuck. How can one even represent oneself accurately in only 125x125 pixels, though? [fake edit: swirlybomb is represented pretty accurately in 125x125 pixels honestly]

Luckily most of you guys don't know me well enough to associate me with the coolfish (formally magikool) yet.

[GlitchedGhost]

I already know some people don't like me and others probably don't mind me.
But that's basically everyone. You're not going to be liked by everyone. Period.

At this point my bird avatar rotation is so me that it would be weird to change it lmao
I am a literal bird

[Maiku Wotaharu]

Thank goodness I can't be shipped.

[Telamon]

i just want to remind people not to try to ride their daughter's horse.

[TheFinalSentinel]

I changed to a new avatar once.
It was pretty much the same thing though.

[Dizzybelle]

shipping here is way too expensive so i cant afford it

[pholtos]

I just can't bring myself to change avatars.

[Leet]

I just can't bring myself to change avatars.

You have randomized avatars! :p

Now that I think about it, I did try and change my avatar once before to a rotation but the rotation services we used had stopped working. I wonder if there's a way to do so easily again yet.

now i'm wondering how you guys perceive me.

ps pichu c'mere xxxooo

yeah zinnia was extremely annoying in that game but i don't really associate that with you at all

[ohmato]

Sometimes I lie awake at night wondering about the possible ethical ramifications of my choice of avatar

[Lunikyuu]

I feel like I change avatars too much, but everytime I think I've found the one I like best, I either get tired of it or another one comes along that I like better

[july]

I used to be a cat and now I'm a touhou, next month I'll probably be something else
