    I could bullshit that the smoking chimp is a comment on human nature or whatever, but the truth is: someone sent me this pic, pointing out that he holds his cig the same way that I do when I’m drinking in a photo. And that was right when I was looking for online avatars, since I didn’t want to use devils any more (too “edgy teenager”).

    More than a decade later, here I am, still with smoking chimp avatars.

        It is, but I only use it for online identities that I don’t mind associating. Plus the username is a bigger concern in this regard.

        Also, often I use other smoking chimp pics, although this one started it out for me.

    I was looking for something kinda cool, that was completely nondescript and anonymous.

    An AI generated image community had a thread that boiled down to “just use your username as the prompt.” And Captain Redmond Aggravated, Airline Transport Pirate was the result.

    It’s Shin Megami Tensei/Persona’s take on Scathach, the Irish mythological figure.

    I wanted something from a video game series I liked that also had enby and pagan vibes.

    I took a screenshot of this youtube video because I thought it looked cool.

    I have a few other versions on some platforms:

    • one was that image cut to the shape of the logo of the dyno bot (by that bot’s /dynoavatar command)
    • at some point I tried to redesign the shape but it sucked
    • I later put a very barely visible trans flag over the dyno one (lost that image sadly)
    • shortly after that I redesigned the shape to some kind of thing with 2 circles (one severely cut) as a reference to my new name (lost that one too but it was better than the other redesign)
    • and did the barely visible trans flag thing with that one too (also lost that one but it’s still my discord profile picture).

      As fellow lemm.ee user I can understand your pain. I also want to upload a banner that I make.

        Wait, this is instance-specific? Darn. Though I don’t want to sign up again just to have my Picture Day selfie as my avatar. Sorry Timmy Turner’s dad :(

    I’d like to have a bighorn sheep fursona in the future so I went looking for goat/sheep related images to use as my PFP. Eventually I came across this one which looked good in black and white/grayscale and it’s kind of edgy so I decided to use it.
