In honor of the magnificent finale of Adventure Time, which I'll have to write something about -- be it in our old AT thread, a whole new post, or my eventual series review -- I've finally changed my avatar from Kyoko to a nifty little piece of Marceline fan art. The vampire queen has been my consistent favorite on the show for nine years, and in the emotional state I'm in, I can't think of anyone better.

I kind of forgot to change my Christmas avatar for a while. Since it's Halloween time, I figured I might as well change to a Halloween-themed avatar (and probably won't change it until it's time for Krampus to come back).

Since the anime for Part 5 of JoJo's Bizarre Adventure just started I've decided to go with Death 13 from Part 3. Sure, a stand from Part 5 would probably be more appropriate, but a scythe-wielding Freddy Kruger clown is better suited for the Halloween theme.

My avatar is a halloween crab, in celebration of All Souls' Day.

I can't figure out where the original came from, so I'm not linking it, but here it is.

It's an edgy but not inaccurate Sans from Undertale, in honor of the release of the first episode of DeltaRune / Undertale 2. I couldn't find a better 125x125 icon and I'm too lazy to bother shrinking down larger images myself.

The Marceline avatar will likely come back eventually, especially since I still haven't had time to write my Adventure Time series review.

I'm no longer the white version of James Hardin, and I love blue heelers. I saw this picture on Twitter earlier and I love it.

JamishT was a heck of a guy,
With a devilish twinkle in his eye.
With his hand-picked flowers,
And his feel-good powers,
He made all the girls blush and sigh.

Goddamn you, JamishT. I saw another picture of that guy somewhere else literally yesterday, and thought, "Hey, it's that guy from that other guy's avatar", and spent ages learning about him on Wikipedia. Apparently, he's quite good at basketball, and is even good enough that he is unlikely to have actually been a real picture of you. I, er, don't follow basketball very closely.

I came across a gif of "The Hunter" (Bloodborne protag), "The Chosen Undead" (Dark Souls 1 protag), and "The Bearer of the Curse" (Dark Souls 2 protag) doing the "torture dance" (from JoJo's Bizarre Adventure Part 5). And since I'm currently killing my way through Bloodborne and watching JoJo's part 5 (not at the same time since I need to read the subtitles on JoJo's and I'm not THAT good at Bloodborne to be able to play without paying attention), I made it my avatar.

And now I can't help but imagine a Gothic church choir version of Prince's "Pussy Control" (the song that's supposed to be playing during the torture dance scene) playing in the background.

I don't follow basketball either, but someone here (I think it was iMURDAu) compared my beard to his. Like you, I have learned a lot more about him because of the avatar, and if I'd have to choose a favorite basketball player, it would be him. This GQ interview/article made him even more cool to me.

Good Lord. I don't think I've ever read a GQ article in my life before. Look at the prices of those clothes! I mean, $30 for socks! One pair! What a madman!

I like James Harden but he's got the disease of Me vs. All 5 of Them.

Pass the ball to the open guy already you're driving me crazy!

He'll be a hall of famer one day. His path to a championship is a minefield in the Western Conference tho. Eeesh.

Oh yeah it was me who noticed the beard similarities. In case you didn't notice. :D

New name, new avatar. Originally started using this one elsewhere because I wanted a female rodent character.

This name may be a stupid joke about an obscure card game, but may as well embrace the rat.

My latest avatar is Tara Bryck from the new yuri OELVN Heart of the Woods. She's a smol hyper transbiab bean and a cinnamon roll, just like myself.
