Yeah, why do you have the avatar you're using right now? Does it suit your personality? Does it just happen to depict your favourite series? Every Avatar has a story and now, it's your turn to tell it. When it comes to my avatar, I found it as one of those free user icons you can find on Steam. I instantly fell in love with it and now I use it everywhere I go. Well, almost as there's places where I can't choose the avatar at all for whatever reasons, battle.net being one such example.

Its Marie Antoinette from the classic film in the days of Old Hollywood. I saw it recently, and liked it, and thought the splendor of the age would fit because Milotics are creatures of exquisite beauty, and Parfum Palace from XY, is one of my favorite environments ever with its golden glorious statues of Milotic, is also inspired by Versailles Palace.

Maybe I am a little winsome like Marie. I do love a good romance and something beautiful, but I hope I am not too much like her since her story does not end well. *gulp*

My name is EmTheGhost, and my avatar is...The Ghost. From Pokemon. And this is a Pokemon forum - yeah.
I've been thinking about changing it something withy more personal meaning, but I dunno, it's starting to feel too iconic at this point...

Back in The Day I used to change my themes very frequently to follow whatever game I was playing/whatever show I was watching/occasionally music - basically whatever I'm interested in at the time. I've been switching it up a lot less frequently these days, but right now it's one of my favourite artists, Billie Eilish, specifically from her music video for "when the party's over".

Without going into lovely cheery detail, I suffered some very intense trauma that left me with PTSD. During my years of therapy, Rapunzel became my "protective figure" and she's been looking after me ever since.

my avatar is one of those default ones. i think they're made by one of the staff members. always liked sophocles because... well, yellow, orange, and sophocles are a good mix. would probably be changing it soon though. looking toward a violet-colored profile.

I got my avatar from a moment in the XY episode Kindergarten Chaos five years ago. I have tried other avatars once or twice, but I always come back to Froakie, because I love how nonplussed he looks.
I also liked it when Ben made those Christmas avatars and your Froakie wore one on each eye

I’ve always adored Spyro (and dragons in general!), so when I discovered this gem, I had to make it my avatar! It’s really hard for me to stick with one theme for long though, since I love to showcase my interests through my avatar.
I forget how emotions dance when they aren't inside of me
I forget how the sun feels when she isn't around me
And my dreams become sweeter when something is missing
I'm in love with the hunt itself
It makes me feel alive

My avatar is "Ela", a Polish operator in Rainbow Six Siege and someone I spend a lot of time playing as. In fact she's my most played operator by far.

Back then the staff did a gym leader/Elite Four collaboration and I chose Nanu because he's one of my favorite characters in Sun/Moon. Around the holidays last year Dakota offered to put Santa hats on our avatars, and I joined in line. At the moment I'm lazy to change it haha.

Hey, I finally changed it!! The new one is my all-time favorite piece of official Pokemon art. <3 I haven't gotten to talk much about it, but Necrozma/The Blinding One and Nebby (in any of their forms) have been my obsessions ever since Ultra Moon...

Korrina is my waifu :P

So using avatars of things other than her feels a bit weird. Well, for now. While my interest stays at its peak, like it has for almost exactly 2 years now xD

Yep, I don't see myself wanting anyone but her....she's kinda like that special, ya know?! o///o;;;


I do not need help for my love affair with a piece of fiction.
If anything, Korrina's all the help I need with this dang autism of mine. *sparkly heart eyes* Life is awesome.

I made it.
I have a certain style that I like to use(diagonal scanlines, solid borders, etc.) and out of the starters I'm leaning towards Scorbunny. Although if the evo's sway me towards another starter, my sig and avy will reflect that haha.

Because I change my avatar every so often, I'm just going to say that it's usually a Pokemon that I'm a huge fan of at the time. :P As of this post, it's Mew, but who knows what it'll be next!

Lion is pure and badass and amazing and I love him. And he is also pink, which fits well with my username.
