Does your profile picture hold any meaning?

[TessB]

It's a painting by Waterhouse of the Lady of Shalott who was cursed and trapped in a tower.. I just love the romance and melancholy of the painting and the Tennyson poem and the sentiments reflect how I feel trapped figuratively and literally by my mental illnesses.

 

[WeaselBones]

I just think weasels are the cutest. I mean, it's impossible for me to see a weasel and not get at least a little smile. I'd like to be a weasel.

As for the bones part of my username, well, I guess (and hope) I'll be a pile of bones someday! xD

 

[Imaginos]

A painting of Bodhidharma (known as Daruma in Japan), a famous Buddhist monk who is credited as laying down the foundational principles for Zen Buddhism. Bodhidharma is also known as "The Wall-Gazing Brahmin", which needless to say, is something I greatly relate with, since I've also spent literal years of my life staring at my fair share of walls. Primarily the ones within my room of course, which I'm otherwise always trapped in. In any case, he represents an ideal I wish to strive towards, but I doubt I'll ever get there. Bonus fact, he's also known for creating the groundwork which would later lead to the creation of Shaolin Kung-Fu, so that's cool too.

To me, not really. But I'm seemingly infamous due to my otter. Hehe. Some friends here have said a sea otter would be my spirit animal, so I guess my pic has meaning to them. I love my nicknames anyway.

Joined the forum after binge-watching Naruto. Naruto doesn't have any character that's at all similar to me (would be a mix of Shikamaru's laziness, Shino's social skills, Kakashi's depression, Orochimaru's empathy and the white fang of the leaf's final choice), but since my only reason for wanting to kill myself is skin hunger this image makes a lot of sense.

 

[Hirokami]

Komi is kind of a mood. People say I seem very professional yet I can't communicate for shit unless I'm on medication or drunk as fuck.

 

[signifying nothing]

In the eye of the beholder.

 

[olieolieoxenfree]

Yes, mine is a protest to the child torture chambers the schools have built to "protect" children

 

[Dr Iron Arc]

I changed my profile picture to a personification of the Ghost of Christmas Yet to Come. I feel it's fitting because Christmas 2021 will likely be my very last Christmas ever if things go according to plan. I think this one suits my actual self more anyway.

This was the video in question:

 

[enjoy]

i picked it when i joined and havent changed it since -- same with my username.

 

[262653]

The characters feel very limiting, and I don't know any that would describe me well. I like the silver color. Do you know the difference between gray and silver? Gray is the same gray while silver is many grays. It also feels neutrally charged in many ways.

 

[Jeannine]

Yes, a sketch, which is unfortunately not mine, of a couple sinking during the titanic. wife's all afraid but he seems ready to face the Lord, with heaven's light upon the both of them.

 

[TriggerHappy]

...ever had that feeling when life with its razor sharp teeth and evil glint in its eye and sneering corner of its mouth fuck'n pounces on you and you not very able to deal with it's onslaught...''
my councillor would advise i consider it to be maybe the beautiful inevitability of death / or heroin's hold on my existence or the fact that maybe i shoulda never taught my pet crocodile to fly!!!
oh just give me the whiskey and the shotgun, sally!

 

[moonchild]

I think it does a good job of embodying how I feel most of the time.

 

[waived]

I wanted to change the other one to something a bit less than a real person and happened upon the current one while searching music.

[Mr. Whippy]

my pfps are all a shadow person, every single one of them, it's just how i feel around people

 

[Mendex]

Is from anime called Welcome to the NHK about a drop out hikikomori who meet a girl.
Then this guy tries to stop the suicide attempt of this girl, commiting suicide he first.

 

[BeansOfRequirement]

about a drop out hikikomori who meet a girl.

They really didn't bother at all with realism or immersion, I see.

The girl have stalked the protagonist and the protagonist doesn't give her attention
And want to relationship with his old highschool partner, now a careerist.
>Balzac would be proud of this realism.

 

[BeansOfRequirement]

The girl have stalked the protagonist

I didn't ask. Refrain from making further statements of a similar nature.

[TriggerHappy]

round and round and round :: different states of mind // different rates of mind.
a million different thoughts / plans but none that actually get me anywhere.

i used to have a leaping crocodile about to attack a baby... my animal nature biting [attacking] at my ankles like The Fool tarot.

think it's time for a change... i project them on the house walls digitally (so I get bored with them quickly!)
when i change them i give myself the illusion i am changing / developing.

fu[kit. next time it's a unicorn with a rainbow mane... i'm taking myself way to seriously and i'm drowning in my own arrogant piss-puddle of depth. forgot my water-wings again...

i kinda liked this one; what with Easter around the corner...
(partners megathread maybe?! mwahahahaha...)



- ironic how in reality i'm more like a plush toy; and there are real predators on the prowl...

[lofticries]

It's just a gif I one day saved. Thought it'd be fitting for this forum since we all wish ctb would be this easy.

I love cute yet creepy things.

I remember this anime. The suicide episodes were kind of sad though I was ultimately disappointed at how the series ended...

 

[Celerity]

It's supposed to be "the most beautiful suicide". Not my chosen method, but speed is definitely a factor in mine. Always liked the name Evelyn too. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Evelyn_McHale

 

[restforeternity]

Mines the sky, one day ill grow wings and fly away from this world.

 

[summers]

When it rains, it fucking pours, but I think I like it...
