For some reason, this looks to me like a changed welsh flag


If only Linkara was red...
If only the dragon was eating popcorn....
Well, the dragon is reaching for something. And has its mouth open. I'm fairly sure there is popcorn just off-panel.

That settles it. Linkara is a dragon. Makes me wonder why he keeps shouting "I AM A MAN!"

Trying to lie to us, so we don't suspect him. But he was finally uncovered.

EDIT: And dragons are known to be magical. Finally explains where the magic gun comes from.

So he didn't purchase that? This conspiracy goes deep. All the way to Vincent E.L.!~

It's a doodle of me from the time I suplex'd Yahweh in July of '07.

My current avatar I choose because it has my number one waifu killing her nemesis in the harem she is in. I most likely would have changed it if I hadn't become a mod. The whole smite feel it has going seems to fit well with being a mod.

This is my avatar. I made it to be ME online way back in my digital media class in high school.

Mine is She Who Must Not Be Named Eating Popcorn. Why? Because it amuses me.

In the future, I might change to Linkara Eating Popcorn, if I can be bothered to crop the image:


Although this reaction GIF is also calling my name:


So indecision will probably keep me with this for about 7 years. There is precedent there.

Holy crap. I never looked close at your avatar. I thought it was the guy from Despicable Me.

So...how long have you been stuck like that?

And yes, it is a catgirl.
Really hard to notice those are ears at Escapist Avatar Size.
I also have an avatar of popcorn eating.

It's a snippet from a much larger image.


As you may have guessed, being part of the varied and somewhat creepy world of the "Furries" I have my own character. And I used to use him as an avatar. However, privacy concerns and incidents by people who... Shall we say don't like differing opinions? Have forced me to use something more... Anonymous.

Either way, it's a nice picture.

It's an ape with a funny face that made me laugh.

Sometimes my mind works in really simple ways...

That picture is...hypnotic.

Can't...look...away.
That's part of the reason I had it made into an avatar. XD

It's from the concept art (found here [http://colinfix.blogspot.com.br/2007_11_01_archive.html]) of Unferth for the 2007 Beowulf film/animation.

I chose it because I actually do wear my facial hair like that.

Well, minus the jewellery.

Fear the might of the Moogle Black Mage!

And he became my avatar because:
1. Black Mages are awesome.
2. Moogles are awesome - liked them since Secret of Mana all those years ago.
3. FF Tactics A2 is still one of my favourite games of all time.
4. I too suffer from being short and charitably described as being cute.

It's a picture of the main character from a webcomic called Last Res0rt, which is a pretty good webcomic if you like cyberpunk and don't mind furry characters.

(sigh. Badge hunting sucks sometimes)
So you know what everyone looks like to me right now. XD
If you don't... Well...
Have I got a button for you! *ahem*
What, this button?


I thought it was to call room service. I just never really needed anything. Hmm, I am actually a bit thirsty now. I'll give it a go.
Damnit! I pushed the button by mistake!

Now all the Avatars (including mine) are Beiber!

So this is what Hell is like...

It's the Tenth Doctor as a long-haired chihuahua wearing a pinstriped collar, red tie and spectacles. I downloaded Christie Cox's Dogtor Who pictures when she appeared in an Escapist article many months ago and David Tennant has been my favourite Doctor, so I chose that picture. My avatar's name comes from combining his catchphrase "Allons-y" with "Howl".
