Avatar Themes

LW · 2013-01-27 16:27:23

It sounds like some Heapers were interested in doing avatar themes here from time to time. This is a thread for that to avoid having that talk get lost in the trash heap. If there is actually an old thread on this that I missed, feel free to point that out though.

So, I guess this thread is pretty much for brainstorming, proposing, and discussing avatar themes and such. The current theme is pink.

Sredni Vashtar · 2013-01-27 16:34:49

Sometimes I use snippets from my pen sketches, like I'm doing right now. Other times, it's album art. I have also used a concept sketch of Lain from serial experiment: lain.

So I dunno. Pink?

Tachyon · 2013-01-27 16:43:10

Pink.

Sredni Vashtar · 2013-01-27 16:51:22

Done.

Anonus · 2013-01-27 17:22:34

Moved to General.

Also already in the pink theme

Salix Babylonika · 2013-01-27 17:36:16

Lain's hair is technically pink here.

I win.

Tre · 2013-01-27 17:36:17

Viani · 2013-01-27 19:00:25

dusty pink

Justice4243 · 2013-01-27 19:15:03

Alright, let's do this.

Tachyon · 2013-01-27 19:20:02

Peachy.

Bunny · 2013-01-27 19:32:15

Pink!

Hexartes · 2013-01-27 19:54:12

I wonder what kind of pink avatar I could use?

Hmmmm....

Bunny · 2013-01-27 20:06:30

You need something pink

your name is an organization 13 reference

ergo

Hexartes · 2013-01-27 20:08:54

Good idea!

I was going to use the Great Fairy Mask, what with the Majora's Mask thing I've had going on for a while, but considering KH is where I got my name I really should have a KH avatar.

ProfessorGator · 2013-01-27 20:11:48

There's an episode of the Pokémon anime devoted to an island with berries that turn Pokémon pink. So have some happy pink Nidoran.

Viani · 2013-01-27 20:25:08

Pink Nidoran are best Nidoran

Wait what kind of Nidoran? F or M?

Odradek · 2013-01-27 20:27:05

Pink Giorno Giovanna

Tachyon · 2013-01-27 20:29:48

^^ Looks like a female on the left, a male on the right.

ProfessorGator · 2013-01-27 21:11:35

a8 is correct.

Hexartes · 2013-01-27 21:12:20

So, how about next week we do guilty pleasures?

thenamelesssamurai · 2013-01-27 23:32:46

The only thing I could think of that had any pink that related to my interests was Fuu, so here you go.

Section42L · 2013-01-29 03:14:10

Here's the first album released by They Might Be Giants from 1986, popularly known as "The Pink Album". Yes, this is how I decide to make my first post on this forum. No, I don't see any problem with that.

Salix Babylonika · 2013-01-29 03:23:31

Awesome sauce. Thanks.

Hexartes · 2013-01-29 18:08:03

So, uh, any consensus on what the next theme will be?

Misery · 2013-01-29 18:09:26

animals

Justice4243 · 2013-02-01 14:53:56

I like animals, but am currently an Avatar of Vishnu...or rather have him as an Avatar...

but we should keep that theme in mind.

Tre · 2013-02-01 23:35:33

Well, if we're doing aminals then I already qualify with this one.

I probably will end up changing it to a different Mordecai tho.

Vriska · 2013-02-02 11:38:08

If we do animals I will pro8a8ly go with a spider. ::::D

Salix Babylonika · 2013-02-02 13:16:59

let's all be Touhoes.

Mr. Darcy · 2013-02-02 14:12:59

Some of us don't know what Touhoes are.

Obā-san · 2013-02-02 14:18:39

they are lolis with things in their hair that shoot things a whole bunch

Salix Babylonika · 2013-02-02 14:19:39

Naney said:

This is fairly accurate.

Mr. Darcy · 2013-02-02 14:21:59

Sexualized little girls with weapons in their hair. Got it.

Obā-san · 2013-02-02 14:25:11

Gilda said:
with weapons in their hair

that would make it a lot more interesting

Anonus · 2013-02-02 17:09:17

I don't think the Touhou girls are sexualized, not in canon anyway

The term "loli" has some rather unsavory connotations...

Salix Babylonika · 2013-02-02 17:46:26

Gilda said:
Sexualized

There's actually pretty much not even the vaguest hint of sex in the games at all.

Fanon is a different matter. As fanon often is.

This. They aren't sexualized, it's just not possible to use that word without sounding like a pedophile.

Mr. Darcy · 2013-02-02 19:41:15

^ Yes, this. For anything nonsexual, that word only obfuscates, in an icky way.

OK, "The word "Loli" isn't sexualized, it's just not possible to use that word without sounding like a pedophile." Needs to be printed on t-shirts and bumper stickers.

OFF TO ZAZZLE!

One-Winged Eagle · 2013-02-03 00:01:44

I suggest an avatar theme based around the Silk Road.

Would save me the trouble of changing it.

Bunny · 2013-02-03 00:02:49

I'm staying with the pink theme until we decide on something

Salix Babylonika · 2013-02-03 03:25:41

most Touhoes aren't actually "little" girls at all.

Zun just has very little talent for drawing pictures of people, so they all end up looking like little girls.

Yukari's canon depiction for instance, is supposed to be closer to this (from Scarlet Weather Rhapsody, which had art by an outside company)

than this (from one of Zun's own games)

Imipolex G · 2013-02-04 01:23:00

Yukari always has big...assets...in the pictures I see. Of course that's fan art for ya

I think we should have a musical theme

Viani · 2013-02-04 01:37:48

Does anyone on this forum still believe touhous are little girls anyway? I thought that ignorance was erased in the late IJBM1.
