Explain Your Avatar and Username

Post Reply New Topic

initially wanted a completely random, totally nonsensical name. potato was the first thing that came to mind and since potatoes are insentient i slapped on sentient to the front. thinking on it now, a part of me was letting my total lack of confidence seep through in using potato of all things, as it is sometimes used to describe things of poor quality, plus members of the "saltybet" community (possibly even twitch, and beyond) use it in reference to a fighter that cant really do a whole lot, or one that has been reduced in power so much that they have lost the glory they once had.

funny enough, there was once mention of this name before this account came into existence. perhaps my being here was willed by someone else.

Well, Kuraudo is Cloud [of FFVII fame] in Japanese, and 7 is one of my favourite numbers. I also like and admire Tifa Lockheart as a character, so I decided to use her as an avatar.

my username is seaweed because i love playing in the ocean waves and just the feeling of the ebb and flow of the water. i also love biological exploration, and deep-sea life is one of my obsessions.
but the feeling of slimy seaweed brushing my feet makes me so uncomfortable that i often avoid the shoreline all-together, which is why i thought it was a fitting name for me on this forum.

my avatar is a microscopic image of seaweed.

Years ago, I labelled my Autism itself 'Ghost'. It's there, but nobody can see it. It isn't always believed in, either. Just like a ghost.

My avatar is Casper, a friendly ghost.

Because I draw..basically.

Draw + er = Drawer (but it reminds people of something else) so because I need my SO which has "y" chromosome, I add "y".
so I got Drawyer.

As for my avatar.. I just googled randomly. I spot her and copied her and I don't know who she is..

Google image search also doesn't really show who she is or where she came from. You just get conflicting results. For example:

http://bleach-rp.wikia.com/wiki/Asuka_Haruko
http://the-naruto-world.wikia.com/wiki/Mallory

Who knows?

Whoa...you're good at googling!!

It's just google image search and clicking the results. The page of full results: (warning: huge f*****g URL)

https://www.google.co.uk/search?tbs=sbi ... M&hl=en-GB

You picked up just "the right word", which is key to googling.. =)

I copy and pasted your avatar URL into google image search and that's what it puts out. Literally takes a second.

Your avatar URL is this:
download/file.php?avatar=108699_1438602982.jpg

Google images:
https://www.google.co.uk/imghp?

Click the camera next to the search button and microphone and put that URL in and it gives you the long URL. It shows each time that image has been uploaded and links to the websites.

You have lots of ability, Iliketrees. I believe you will make your mark, some day.

Hey, I love trees by the way...

And that was really a good tip ! I didn't know that.

My username stems from who I am and the way my friends see me. Been told I fit the tropes of the eccentric sage and the frontline general which makes for a very interesting combination.

My avatar isn't really that special. Was bored one day and made a fancy looking text with the name of the series I write. It's a rather nice screensaver though

Wow, that's incredibly thoughtful.

My name is Ezra, but Ezra had already been taken, so I went with EzraS for Ezra Shea (Shea is my middle name and nickname).
My avatar is me standing on my local beach conducting seagulls.

How do you conduct seagulls?
