Its certainly unique, so you at least have that going for you. Stock tumblr gifs are great and all, but it doesn't scream me, you know?
 
Looks like we'll need the wheelbarrow to get you away from the buffet!
 
I swear, making a signature made of just 2 images where the one is supposed to be on the very left and the other on the very right and they're supposed to be on the same vertical level is definitely harder than it sounds like

Are they supposed to be looking at one another or is there another photo in between them that they are both staring at? Has a nice pattern to it. Definitely one of the best signatures I've seen around so far.

Nah, it's just simply that Banette and Echnatoll (I forgot it's English name, that is its German one) are two of my absolutely favorite pokemon :3
 
Speaking of signatures and themes, I prolly watch mine more than what's healthy.
 
My signature is a boring advertisement. Isn't that common?

As for pets, I have a giant 19-year-old blind kitty cat named Puffers. He likes to nudge his head against me when he wants petting. :3
 
I'm just too lazy to make a signature nowadays. Valentines Day is coming, so Imma look for some ideas or recycle a theme :D
 
I have the same CSS style for my sig for a while now and i kinda want a new one, though im awful at CSS haha
 
I reuse the same css over and over again as well. I'm crap at it but I'm trying to learn.
 
I learn new stuff now and then by experimenting :3 wouldn't say I'm good with css yet though.
 
It's Cofagrigus. Banette is the same I believe.

Yes it is, a lot of pokemon have completely different names in German than they have in English (e.g. Probopass -> Voluminas, Snover -> Shnebedeck, Dusknoir -> Zwirrfinst), and some remain like they are in English (pretty much all legendary ones but also a ton of normal ones), or with slight changes (Gardevoir -> Guardevoir or Mewtwo -> Mewtu)

All of these names in different languages confuses me. ;; For a minute there I thought Voluminas was Volcarona... xD
 
Who decided cofagrigus was a good name for a Pokemon anyway?!
 
My best guess where Cofagrigus comes from would be something like from the words coffin + egregious + sarcophagus maybe
 
Lol I just wish they'd have put more thought into it, that's all.

In my opinion our name with the most thought behind is probably the one of Snover; in German it's called Shnebedeck, and if you seperate the two words in it, "Schnee" and "bedeckt", these two mean as much as snow-covered
In the case of Cofagrigus, our name (Echnatoll) probably just comes from the Egyptian pharaoh Echnaton and it seems like it was phrased to sound like "Echt? Na toll" which means as much as "Really? Oh great"
