What does your avatar mean?

[kurumi]

Decided to change it today, to the city limit sign of a small town I visited this past weekend. A few people in this thread should get a kick out of it.

Rushville: I hear the residents are full of mean, mean pride.

But its suburbs have no charms to soothe the restless dreams of youth

Mine is some artwork I commissioned from an artist I follow (mentioned in my forum signature) of my main MLP original character, Lunar Signal, holding a WRRS "mini-bell". The art was commissioned with the intent of using it as an avatar on places like Twitter, BlueSky, and forums.

This whole time, I thought the pony was facing away from us, and was wearing a diaper, but had its head turned around to look at us.

Heh. He's wearing a hardhat on his head, fwiw.

They dream in Middletown

I too thought I was staring at pony butt the whole time.

I thought he was holding a portable CD player.

I too thought I was staring at pony butt the whole time.

And the white circle gave me a vague impression of motion, too, so I got the sense the pony was shaking its butt at us.

It might be time to find a new artist...

Part of the problem with the My Little Pony style in general is that the legs just sort of stop without ending in hooves or feet of any kind. This no doubt makes it very easy to animate in the sort of situations that happen in the original show, but it removes context clues that help the viewer parse what is going on the sort of situation shown in the avatar. (I've only seen one episode of My Little Pony so I don't remember—were the ponies regularly shown holding objects with their front legs like that? I seem to remember the show depicted them as strictly quadrupedal.)

I believe mine is pretty self-explanatory.

My new one is Vivian from Paper Mario, one of the more notable trans characters in video games, and my middle name. I got it the other day because I won an art raffle.

I'm just an Excitable Boy.

I think it's easy to see how serious I take my Chicago roots (and especially its sports). At first, I used a Cubs logo until I found out it was duplicating mvak336 (IIRC), so I changed it to the Bears.

I just changed mine back to a TX 288 Toll shield (not actually exactly what the real shields look like, but it's what the AARoads Wiki has) since I am back living in the Brazoria County area outside of Houston, at least for the next couple years. TX 288 forms part of my commute, and it is locally significant to everyone in the area. In a few years, TX 288's toll lanes will be extended once the Grand Parkway is built. I anticipate keeping this avatar until I move out of the area someday.

Changed my avatar to C-177 in South Suburban Denver, as I lived near that road over the summer. Now that I'm back in the Ozarks, I'll say that my previous avatar was AR 43, a road that serves as the gateway to the Upper Buffalo National River.

Route 128 is the closest numbered highway to me. Also 95 but 128 has more cultural significance in Massachusetts.

Edit: maybe I'll get it to show up again lol

Edit: the original image is somehow not valid and is too big to be uploaded so I guess it's gone

Thank you so much!

No problem! It is just the shield found on Wikimedia Commons, after all.
