Explain Your Avatar

[Chesterton]

Years in the making, mine is a custom-created design done by myself in collaboration with noted French artist, um, what's-his-name. Well he's noted by a lot of people but I didn't note him. It symbolizes the eternal mystery of existence and man's unending quest for answers - for knowledge, wisdom, and meaning. Or it symbolizes that I'm lazy and don't care.

As to Miss Ella not being "creative", I have her beat by a mile, mine means nothing. I chose it only to take the place of absolutely nothing, or no avatar at all..

Actually, that was one of it's original purposes, to take place of nothing.

You avatar looks like the old test pattern on broadcast TV.

"Keep Calm and..." is a pretty common meme. In Lutheranism we are reminded to always remember our baptism, and the confession, baptizatus sum ("I am baptized"), is to be for us our confidence that we are Christ's and Christ is ours by the gift and promise of God which is ours in Him which we have received in the waters of Holy Baptism.

Mine's a Sims 4 version of myself.

Actually, I just changed mine. I made it here: Avatar Maker - Create Your Own Avatar Online

When I first joined CF I used a cloud in the form of a question mark to indicate my curiosity. After a while lurking and seeing what views are espoused by rather too many users here I decided flying pigs was a more apposite avatar.

Oh, I thought it was Samuel Clemens. My bad.

I grew up in a city that's on the Atlantic coast of the US. I love the ocean. It's one of my best metaphors for the Divine, and it's one of the places where I most feel God's presence. The ocean is immense, bigger than I can really think about. It does what it will, independent of what we want; it takes land from the shore and then gives it back somewhere else. It's always in motion. It is unspeakably beautiful.

The picture is one I took, of the shoreline near my childhood house.

Plovers are little birds that run back and forth on the sand, chasing the waves in and out.

[The Barbarian]

Years ago, I was on this board, talking to a very aggressive atheist who told me that I did not understand how "barbaric" Christianity is. I replied, "just call me the barbarian, then."

The other people on the board thought it was funny, and before long, that's what everyone (except the bumptious atheist) called me. I decided to keep it.

mine is something cute that has my nickname on it,they used to have books with little miss and mr characters
in the 80s that I loved.

 

[TLK Valentine]

An artistic mash-up of Mickey Mouse and Wolverine, because as incongruous as they may seem, there are traits form both characters that we would all do well to have.

I've always wondered if your rotation is intentional or if you can't figure out how to correct it?

Almost forgot, mine's the character 'Ray Purchase' from the comedy program 'Toast'. I just like his 70's stylings, especially the white suit and 'tache.

I used to have myself standing on my head, but decided that was going too far.

He was born that way.

You should see him eat!

It's also led to a serious drinking problem...

(well, maybe not "serious"...)
