    For me it was a mix of my sense of humor and a physical trait people always notice about me.

    Mine is based out of my personality. In real life I'm so much like Fluttershy that it's strange. Therefore, I use her as a portrayal of the real me (especially because she is female) without having to use an image of myself. :slight_smile:

    I like doctor who and I try everyday not to let others make me feel down or depressed. Matt Smith's portrayal of the doctor is an awesome one and his acting reminds me of what I feel/act like when I'm in a good mood and feeling confident! He's basically what I want to be everyday. :grin:

    A friend of mine got really into photographs of dogs wearing glasses after seeing this picture:

    [​IMG]

    That got me looking for them too, and I found my current avatar in a photoset of similar photos. The golden retriever one had a look that just resonated with me. Like it's wise, but not disconnected from the world because of it. :slight_smile:

    I dunno- My avatar's a Toy Story character and for some odd reason just liked the guy.
     
  9. Both my avatar and username come from an album by Frank Ocean, an amazing r&b artist whom recently came out.

    I'm fascinated by fractals, identified as bisexual, and wanted something abstract, so searched for "pink, blue, and purple fractal". Ended up finding one that was more purple with a black background, but it worked, and I've kept up until now.

    I think the version of the Scarecrow in Arkham Asylum is pretty awesome. So therefore he is my avatar in an artsy sort of way, because I like making artsy things that people aren't quite sure what they are at first glance.

    Wanna see me? Buy a telescope.
    Mine is a colored open eye, that represents me as who I truly am. All my profiles that I haven't come out on have a black and white closed eye.

    It was made for me by a friend of the site. : )

    Edit: I can't find the picture and I don't believe many of you were around when I had my own avatar that I actually chose, but it was of Lelouch Lamperouge with glasses, because.....Well, nothing is more fabulous. ; )

    I like grumpy cat. So when I saw this pic of grumpy cat, I thought that it would be perfect. The mention of rainbows was what made it more perfect here.

    Trivial Pursuit is one of my favorite games, I'm fairly decent at it, and people think my enjoyment of trivia, statistics, and random facts is quirky. So be it!

    I like Akihiko, especially in Persona 4 Arena. He's quite attractive in that game :grin:

    I haven't played Persona 3 - which is the game that he originated from and my avatar shows how he looks from that game - so I might want to pick it up some time.
