Oh definately. I think their avatar reflects one of the deepest universal addictions and desires of Downers. Considering that reputation is Downer soylent green.

I think I have an inferiority complex or something...

Gwathagor · 04-09-2008, 08:22 AM

Ha!

A Little Green · 04-09-2008, 10:08 AM

Agan's new Lion King avvie is just lovely.

(That's actually one of my favourite films ever so...)

Thanks, I love it too.

And that's one of also my favourite films, and I adore lions, and am completely in love with Scar (ah! That voice!). My teeth and ambitions are bared! Be prepared! Grrrrr.

Nah, you're just exposing a quite frank fact about when Downers accquire new rep boxes, they scream out with a sort of Hestonesque confidence.
Well okay, maybe, but who doesn't?

Exactly, when I saw the movie for the first time (later finding out that it's quasi-Hamlet, which makes it even better...) my young mind couldn't wholly accept that Scar was considered 'evil'. He seemed too deep, assumed, but balanced that puts all other Disney 'villians' in great shame. Otherwise, he'd make a great werewolf, and fits really well as an avatar.

Esty's new/old avvie with the incredulous stare matches horribly well with her signature - I love the tone of it all.

Legate of Amon Lanc · 04-11-2008, 02:16 PM

But I noticed Mith is back at one of her other avvies - I must say, although I liked the wolf, I like this one even more. And it brings back the memories of the times around my first WW game, which was when Mith took her first avvie at all.

Mithalwen · 04-11-2008, 02:24 PM

I am feeling a little more human these days

but it was a technical difficulty. I do like my woluf still ... she may return someday

But thanks... and I think this is my original.... my pre-raphaelite self instead of the lupine one.

Morai · 04-12-2008, 01:06 PM

If it hasn't been done yet, first of all, shame on you people; second of all: I hereby nominate Mr. Underhill's amazing avvie. It's the epitome of all that is awesome.

Aganzir · 04-13-2008, 11:03 AM

Mith, I was actually already missing your avatar.

Nice to see it's back.

Groin Redbeard · 04-13-2008, 12:31 PM

Eönwë , I'm glad to see that you have finally gotten an avvie, although I have a little trouble trying to make out the words on it. Does it say: The old one will never die?

Legate of Amon Lanc · 04-13-2008, 12:52 PM

I was actually amusing myself by imagining that it says "The Old Ones will never die" (who reads, understand

) although I was not certain whether it says that or not - as Groin said, it's not clear to decipher the text on the background.

Oh, "Old Ones" is a term used by the writer H.P.Lovecraft. Well, anyway, could you explain what is your avvie saying, then, or, what do the words mean?

Eönwë · 04-14-2008, 04:37 PM

It's a mystery.

Gwathagor · 04-14-2008, 08:41 PM

What is LMP's avatar?

McCaber · 04-14-2008, 09:26 PM

I got the same thought as Legate when reading Eönwë's avatar. Iä R'lyeh.

Ok, well mines changed now. It (According to the font) translates as "þa ealdan næfre adeadaaþ" meaning "The old/Ancient [ones] never die/fade" in old English

Hookbill the Goomba · 04-22-2008, 04:50 AM

It's nice to see Lommy returning to Pengish ways.

However, it's not quite as nice to see THE Ka using such a disturbing avatar.

Seriously, though, I do like it.

I agree, it is quite disturbing, but I like it and think it is interesting.
And I was just wondering, is it connected to a "ka" in the Ancient Egyptian sense?

Ermmm, maybe. Though, there are a few other mythologies who have 'ka's in them. One might say it's a fylgjur as well.

Though, this is from a movie poster of Inferno, by Dante Argento.

Its one of a triology based on Thomas Quincey's Levana and Our Ladies of Sorrow. Inferno being about Mater Tenebrarum. Though, I just like Thomas Quincey, because he's a crazy man.

I just saw Sally's avatar, definitely the best at the moment.

Aganzir · 04-26-2008, 11:35 AM

I quite like Volo's new avatar. It's stylish and very Volo-ish (I wonder why that might be

).

Tehe. I got it from someone on a Doctor Who LJ comm. I had a really awesome animated one, but it wouldn't let me upload it.

Gwathagor · 04-26-2008, 01:02 PM

I think ALG's avatar with the frog shadow on the leaf is terrific. I hope she doesn't decide to change it.

Nice avatar, sally. Thanks for writing "Doctor Who" and not "Dr. Who." You can tell a true fan because they will spell his name proper-like.

Oddwen's is...interesting, is the best word I can find to describe it. At first glance I thought Andy Warhol (it was all in the hair), but I quickly realized that could not possibly be the case.

Oddwen · 04-27-2008, 10:07 AM

It's Liam Kyle Sullivan, of Kelly and Cunningham Muffins fame.

Hookbill the Goomba · 04-27-2008, 01:34 PM

Formy certainly has one of the best Avatars.

Although, when the phantom changes his avatar, we'll know it's gone too far.

Consider it a strange sort of moral support in this surely stressful time--and a sign that the once biennially urge to change my avatar has hit.

I cannot begin to tell you how many times my brother made me watch that... First it was an email, then it was, "Oh you have to watch this, you'll love the Palestinian-Israeli Conflict and Asbestos Muffins!".

Though, your avvie did make me second guess and then laugh a bit every time I saw it. I was just curious if anyone else knew about it... >_>

I like Volo's. That is a beautiful cocker-spaniel!
(sorry if I missed on the breed, I should be smacked if I did after working with dogs all day...

).
I love it when they are a honey-golden colour, they always shine and *sparkle* after a bath and brushing.

I love Valesse's creation, but seeing Formendacil's avatar under his name is...a bit...unsettling.

Kuruharan · 05-21-2008, 09:21 AM

I like Formendacil's avatar.

I also like THE Ka's avatar...always has an interesting and eye-catching one.
