Explain Your Newest Avatar

Eclair from Kiddy Grade. This might be her third (maybe?) costume.

This is Jyushimatsu from the anime Osomatsu-San. This picture of him comes from a scene in

"Jyushimatsu and Concepts" when he closes his mouth (Because he wonders if he won't be Jyushimatsu anymore if he closes his mouth. Ichimatsu tells him he's still Jyushimatsu, though.)

A disturbing amalgamation of all the souls in Kirby. Marx’s wings, Star Dream’s body, Drawcia’s face, Sectonia’s... thing below her head, and Magolor’s hands.

Several pictures of Ran Yakumo from Touhou.

Spark Doomer is disappointed in you.

Sagume Kishin from Touhou. Anything she talks about will automatically be the opposite of what she says it is. For example, if she said the sky was blue, it would immediately be a different color.

One of the weasel mooks from Disney's The Prince And The Pauper. I just love how Disney designs weasels.

This is Bruno, one of my main characters in We Are All Space Mercenaries. He's a shape-changing blob alien species called a Catotian from a pair of moons, specifically a salamander-like sub-species called an Elcatotian from the brighter sunnier moon called "El-81".

Danny DeVito in the movie Big Fish (He plays a circus ringmaster). I saw the film recently and thought the character would make a good avatar for some reason.

So, uh, this is a self-portrait I just did a few minutes ago.

Awful Bebad, the Big Bad of a short-lived 80's cartoon called Little Clowns of Happytown. I don't know much about this show, but this guy has a catchy villain song. And he's voiced by Charlie Adler, which is pretty cool.

...I'm probably never gonna use this avatar, to be totally honest. :P

I took a pony break last week, and now I'm back. Starlight and Trixie are visiting the then-newly reformed Changeling Kingdom, and are coming up with a plan to reform Thorax's brother Pharynx.

My newest avatar is Yukiko Amagi from Persona 4. She is the wealthy daughter of the Amagi family, who run a big inn in Inaba.

Well, the orange haired trench-coat wearing lady as of the time of posting is my OC, Ammy Highwind. Please don't kill me.

Surtr, a Norse Destroyer Deity and the bringer Of Ragnarök. He kills Frey in the final battle before going on to destroy the world. He wields a flaming sword called Laevateinn, which translates to “damage twig”. Before Ragnarök, he dwells in Múspell, one of the nine worlds and the world of fire.

Rainbow Dash about to hug Scootaloo while hiding in a cave away from the Fly-ders during their camping trip.

Just a collage of a character and a musician.

The left one is Cozy Glow. One of the newer characters of the show, this young filly debuted in Friendship Is Magic Season 8's "Marks for Effort". However, something is not quite right with Cozy Glow, something that the brony fandom quickly took notice. After her debut, her mysterious true motives left the fans wondering; a perfect ground for some Wild Mass Guessing. (MASSIVE SPOILER ALERT!) The Season 8 finale, which was aired early in Denmark and Australia, reveals her true nature: She, in fact, has been working with Lord Tirek all this time. And this Cute and Psycho Enfant Terrible filly almost succeeded with draining Equestria's magic. Her reason? She knows that The Power of Friendship is the most powerful of all, but fails to understand it completely and was instead seeking the "power" aspect of it. Her master plan was to usurp Twilight, and inevitably Celestia and Luna, as the self-proclaimed "Empress of Friendship".

The one on the right is Robert Gregory "Rob" Bourdon, the drummer for the famous band Linkin Park. He had been a co-founder of the band when it was first named "Xero" in 1996, alongside Mike Shinoda and Brad Delson, staying with the band ever since. For some trivia, he started to gain inspiration for playing drums when he was 10, after attending an Aerosmith concert with his mom, who happened to knew the band's drummer Joey Kramer. Being born at January 20, 1979, he's the youngest member of the band. Rob's pretty known for a good live performance. He even does some pretty good drum solos!

It's Freddy Krueger Day right now, so I found a group picture of Freddy Krueger, Jason Voorhees, Leatherface, and Micheal Myers and made it an avatar. Had to do some cropping and resizing to fit the 2 GB limit, which wasn't easy. Here's the original picture.◊

I never ended up finishing my themed avatars of the dragons allying themselves with Ruby in my Dragons idea (not the ITT), so here we are. Sakaki here is a dragon with Shock and Awe powers. Personality-wise...well, "Genki Girl stuck in the 1990s" would probably be a accurate description of it. She allied herself with Ruby under the pretense that Ruby would find Sakaki a place where Sakaki would feel like she would belong, as Sakaki is kind of a square nowadays with few real friends.

Rockhoof, another Pillar of Equestria, this time of Strength. In his legend, he saved his village from a volcanic eruption by digging a canal to redirect the lava flow away from it. His hard work and dedication granted him his Super-Strength to accomplish such a feat, and he uses his shovel as his Weapon Of Choice.

This here is Bradford Phillip Delson, the lead guitarist of Linkin Park. A high school friend of bandmate Mike Shinoda, the two, along with Rob Bourdon, were the co-founders of the band in 1996. It was his involvement with the band allows them to find the key connections they need to rise to their fame, since Brad had been connected with bassist Dave Farrell and A&R representative Jeff Blue, who would introduce the band to Chester Bennington (Chester hailed from Phoenix, Arizona, while the others are mostly Californians). Thus, after graduating from UCLA, Brad decided to forgo his a chance to study at law school to pursue a career with Linkin Park, a choice he wasn't upset with.

Brad is known to be not much of a show-off. This is why he never came forward playing guitar solos in the first two albums. Minutes to Midnight onwards began to see him doing some guitar solos, something that is also done live to even songs like "Faint" and its live extended outro.

This is a character I have named Test Chan. I first made her when I was trying to get a new art style for myself, and I... just sort of kept the character around.

This is Edelgard, from the upcoming Fire Emblem game, Three Houses. What better way to mourn its absence from the recent Direct? Clearly, this is the greatest tragedy of our time.

I would've changed my avvie to her right now, but due to a bug that prevents me from changing the forum gingerbread as well, I'll just explain who she is for now.

Smolder's the tomboyish dragon of the Young Six, the most athletic of them, and also the Class Clown. "What Lies Beneath" reveals that she has a girly side, since she had to conquer her fear of admitting that she like cute things like tea parties in order to pass the test of the Tree of Harmony.

An edit I made of one of Yuri's character portraits.

Applejack and Fluttershy reconciling after the vampire fruit bat incident. They got into an argument on whether or not to rid the farm off the bats, and an attempt to get the bats to stop eating backfired when Twilight's spell collided with Fluttershy's Stare, causing her to transform into a vampire pony. After numerous attempts to catch Flutterbat failed, the Mane Six eventually tricked her into using the Stare on herself, allowing Twilight to use a counter-spell to turn her back to normal. However, Fluttershy still has a little fang after the incident.

If you don't know who this is, you must be living under a house. But I digress. The name's Professor Albus Percival Wulfric Brian Dumbledore, former Transfiguration teacher and Headmaster of Hogwarts. Or at least, he was. This avatar is a promotional picture of Dumbledore (played by Michael Gambon) for Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince.

Poli'ahu, one of the dragons from the recently released gacha game, Dragalia Lost. She's among my favorite dragons.
