    Can I has Hentai avatars as long as it's only the expression and not the tits? Rapedfaces and OMGAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAaa faces are funny to imagine saying things.

    "You're a blue female unicorn who looks cartoonish?"

    No, I was referring to the blushing and licking thing.     I would *like* to be a blue unicorn though...

    A fan is a fan, no matter how disturbing their fanfictions.

    Sucks that you think that way though.

    I am the only good fan of anything, ever.

    ...which is what a lot of fans seem to think.

    Because you never know what you might see.
    I do this.  I tend to read cute or funny avatars (Fawriel, Rottweiler, Anonym, Snowbull) as good-natured, and dark or sinister-looking avatars (Nomic, Lord Necronus, Tongpu, Judecca) as cynical, for instance.  Intellectual-looking avatars (C Trombley, kashchei) tend to make a person seem studious.  Badasses (Kino, Juan) make them seem confident.  And so on.

    Logos tend to create quite a neutral effect, since I find them a bit lifeless.  Album covers are different; they can range from seeming cynical to confident and personable depending on the artwork.

    I do this for my own avatars as well.  Spike, Luke, Clyde etc. made me feel quite childish, while there's something oddly confidence-boosting about being the Doctor, Amy Pond, Terezi or James Lester.  Daiyousei, Rainbow Dash and the Apple Blossom fairies made me feel calm and cheerful, while the Anti-Spiral, Shoshanna Dreyfus, The Power to Believe and Guy Fawkes made me feel more cynical.  I think it actually affects the content of my posts.

    Also, yes, it is jarring when I see something like Fluttershy say something snarky or a grim-faced marine say something cheery.

    You can change. You can.
    ^All he said. Everything. Even the Terezi part. Because Bobby and me are one and the same.

    ^^ All BobbyG said, though actually for some reason when I was first starting out when I saw your Doctor Who avatars I read your posts as though you were a Doctor Who Fangirl.

    Actually, I think At this point i've gotten to understand certain frequent posters enough that their particular personas transcend how I see them in their Avatars. Like Rottweiler. No matter what the avatar I think.... how I understand Rott speaking through diffeent mouths.
