What is the story behind your avatar?

Though I wasn’t initially, these days, I’ve been keeping all the screenshots I take in the course of “Guess the Episode” in one place, sorted by episode. As you can tell, I definitely took a decent number of Liz shots!

Maybe we could have a thread for people’s favourite dr who screenshots (silly and serious). Possibly separate ones for classic and new who

I kind of already do with the “Guess the Serial” posts. I take a fair number of screenshots that I know aren’t going to be in the main game, because I’m going to put them in the bonuses section.

My picture on the site actually has a pretty good story behind it. It is of a Twelfth Doctor action figure riding on the back of a plastic dragon, and the picture was taken by my sister. The action figure was sent to her so she could create a new sonic for him, as he lost his in a move. (He still doesn’t have one, but he has a spoon he sometimes holds, which might be better) I asked her to send me some pictures of him doing interesting things while he was away. Photo used with her permission. I think that the photo does a good job of capturing the awesomeness of the Doctor.

Current profile picture for archival purposes:

A (very idealised) depiction of myself dressed as my favourite Doctor! The art was done by the lovely SeaBunnyPoppy who can be found on both Twitter and Bluesky, highly recommend checking him out though don’t expect anything in the way of Doctor Who from him unless you end up comissioning him to do so.

The reason I chose this avatar is that I think Fifth Doctor is one of the most underrated Doctors. I know many people don’t like stories with him, but then a Fifth Doctor story hits, it just hits you (Kinda, Snakedance, Five Doctors, Awakening, Castrovalva, Earthshock, Resurrection of the Daleks, The Caves of Androzani, Arc of Infinity is also severely underrated)

I am not an ‘avatar’ person and usually either keep one profile picture for all the platforms I’m using, or not at all (for example, my Letterboxd profile does not have any photo). I might change it, but not regularly (maybe in a year or two). But I do want to maybe update it sometime in the future so it includes the pride flag for romantic asexuals, as I feel this particular group of aces is severy underepresented, espicially within media

I don’t hate the Fifth Doctor but things definitely started to feel downhill once Nyssa left.

Season 19 is one of my favourite seasons. 20 and 21… well…

Things started to go downhill when the Doctor unraveled his scarf…

Changed to a new one today, just to confuse everyone.

Yeah I fancied a change, and I didn’t think it was appropriate to use my Katy Manning ones. :wink:

Help! I’m confused! :face_with_spiral_eyes:

First all the newcomers after shauny’s promo scheme, then everybody putting on Christmas decorations, then everybody taking down Christmas decorations, now back to people randomly changing pfp… I can’t remember so many people with so many faces! How do Time Lords manage that?!

That’s one reason I’m pretty consistent with my avatars. It may be a different avatar, but it’s still recognisably me between my different ones, normally…

That looks… scary.

You’re the scary mod now.

Reminder to self: be extremely nice when @ItsR0b0tNinja is online!

(I do like it, though).

I tend to use different avatars between platforms, but my current one is one of my favourites.

About… oh, ten years ago? When I first got into Doctor Who as a teen fangirl, I made myself a very self-indulgent OC (naturally, that was the way of things). She has been on many adventures and undergone many changes since, and has remained a very dear character to me. She spawned many of my usernames and my primary online alias (which, obviously, I am still using today!)

And now that I’m an adult with money, I commission artists and friends to draw her. Alex Aphey is by far one of my favourite DW fanartists, so this was a real treat to myself. Full art below!

Oh and if anyone has questions, I am ALWAYS happy to chat about her :maple_leaf:

I love your drawing! It’s so simple, yet do detailed and somehow very relaxing!
