Your avatar and the story behind it

    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.

    Because he's one of my most treasured heroes. <3
     
    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...
     
    Old ui is my bananacat character thats made by the lovely ech no matter how trash he says he is (it started out as a meme now its this)

    New ui its a pie
    Gp hasnt realized it yet
    Thats the story the end
     
    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".
     
    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.
     
    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.
