    My profile pictures Mew wanting to be Mewtwo with some poke balls, a poke flute and a toy Clefairy flying around because she is telekinetic. What is there not to like?

    My picture was taken at a Kentucky Derby themed charity auction.
    I wore matching, long, red gloves and felt fabulous.
    I used it as my profile picture because it reminds me of that fab feeling. :)

    The avatar is my rabbit Alvin. He had jumped up on my desk and knocked a glass of tea over (he was a tea junkie), then jumped into the mess, during which tea dripped down from the desk onto his head. I tossed him outside while I dealt with the mess, then go out to clean him up and I'm met with this attitude. He did it again not long after, but with a glass of pepsi, that wasn't so much fun because he didn't like the taste.

    ... Did he laugh at any point? I think we all want to know.

    I just saw your full picture and explanation, @Xoic Those characters look so cool! They're like moomin humans mixed with a wood creature vibe. It's a shame you never finished it, I would've liked to see such beautifully crafted characters in action.

    As for sticking to the topic at hand, my avatar doesn't need an explanation so ... meh.

    He did indeed. Always laughing at me as he caused chaos.

    Here's my Stopmo tests & practice playlist on YouTube. Just a few short videos, but at least they got to live briefly.

    And here are my blog posts about building the puppets. And part 2.

    Someone took it while I was looking away. I thought it looked nice, so I gave it a vintage look.

    It’s a still from my favourite Jim Jarmusch film, Stranger Than Paradise.

    Who's the actor with the big nose in the foregeound? One of those character actors from the 80s that shows up in great random movies and then kind of disappeared.

    I sort of miss the chickens. Yeah, I was just trying to join in with some fun not really knowing the situation. I guess I still don't really know what happened there, but it was probably best to shed my feathers and grow a tail.

    Richard Edson. He reminds me of a young Robert De Niro in this film.

    Uh, well, there's this RPG construction engine on hamster republic for 8 bit and 16 bit RPG games (or any other type of game if you know how to program it). My favorite gamemaker on there is Wily Electrix (Andi Hagen). I took a screenshot of one of his intro screens so I could use it as an "album cover" for the music he created for free download. It was just the first thing that came to mind for an avatar.

    Also, I ramble, so there is that.

    This is Police Constable Pineapple sitting in a wooden police station in the bath. I chose her as my avatar as we both like sunflower seeds and sleep.

    *Edit - Sept 12th 2020*

    The best of hamsters with the cutest of noses died :( Although it may seem more fitting in her honour and memory to keep her as my avatar, I need some Jeff Goldblum, because.... Jeff Goldblum.

    This is a picture I took with my 120mm Roliflex long ago. The dog sadly passed on about ten years ago. Then the camera was stolen. The original print of this photo is enormous and beautiful. It's one of my favorite ever, and I still miss that dog. I also miss photography. I should take it up again.

    My recently-deceased wild rabbit buddy; she's not really imitating the killer rabbit from Monty Python, more simply lying low watching me and awaiting a Ritz cracker.

    I run a lot of Dungeons & Dragons games, and have written tutorials and done podcasts on the subject (long lost to time now) but this fella is Cogent Sturmendrang the ageing rocker Dragonborn Bard! I use him as an example when I'm explaining rules, and I like to doodle little moments that happen in my games in that style, so yeah.

    They say sarcasm is the lowest form of wit. That title should now go to memes as far as I’m concerned!

    Totally not a weeb.

    Nope.

    I'm an aesthetic appreciator.

    Did somebody say sarcasm and low wit? It's almost as if I walked directly into it.
