What is the story behind your avatar?

I wish it was so, but no. I’m too lazy for that and I made my picture in like five minutes :laughing:

Well that explains where the idiom “It’s all Chinese to me” comes from lol

Well it’s Capaldi because Capaldi. Used to use a shot of him from The Doctor Falls, but then I found this picture of him holding a microphone at a con with his middle finger extended and it just spoke to me. The source photo has a blue background, but I’ve edited the colors a couple times as my name color on the big Doctor Who Discord changed (from blue to green to purple).

Oh take a guess. (Though I am thinking I need a new layout.)

For me it was this picture

Had this as my avatar for a very long time till my friend draw some stick figure of me to mess with me but I kinda love it and adopted it (I used to carry a Kindle Paperwhite 4 all the time in high school. The character is Japanese Kanji 屑 (くず), he called me that because I’d walk pass his desk and knock four times and stuff like that, just to remind him of all the creative ways the Doctor got tortured in the tv episodes and look at his face going from :neutral_face: to :weary:)

This is going to sound more dramatic than it is, but I keep all of my social media pretty locked down as there are a couple of people in my past that I don’t want to be in my present or future. But you can’t lock down avatars/ profile pictures, so they are either photos of my pets or a close up of me from a chibi style drawing of Lee and I that we got at a ComicCom event.
But, for this forum, it’s highly unlikely they’ll join and I’m not posting info or pics of what I’m doing or where I am. So I wanted to be me, and I wanted the photos to reflect the Doctor Who theme. So the main (circle) one is me at BBC TV Centre when Lee and I were in the audience of The Last Leg. Most of it is cropped out, but I’ve got a TARDIS behind me and I’m wearing a fourth Doctor scarf, that was a present from Lee. The other (oblong) photo is Lee and I at Time Fracture.

I mean… come on.

Look at it.

It’s the perfect image.

That face. That pose. Tom Baker. Perfection.

I previously used the poster for The Thing across all my accounts as it is my favourite movie but I recently discovered this absolutely marvelous image, fell in love with it and now refuse to remove it from any of my accounts.

Mine is me meeting Russell The Davies.
Pretty self explanatory, I should think.

That’s something a lot of us will never do! Seeing your avatar makes me very happy and a little bit jealous!

Mine is just me!

I change it every now and then, but have trouble finding pictures I like. I don’t really take selfies, and so most of my pictures are with other people!

It used to be one of me on a boat but then I changed it when I was testing avatars and didn’t change it back!

I have a new one from my recent trip I may change it to later!

I have so few pictures of myself that I am happy with. Most of them are pre-COVID and when drunk in a nightclub toilet.
