Discussion Explain your profile picture

[33K1LLM3]

Just going to put it like this, why did you all pick the profile picture you chose? Tell me?

I chose mine because it was at the top of my downloaded pictures and when I clicked on it I loved the look of it, it was relatable and suited the site. That's my explanation.

​

it just resonates with me

 

[FoxSauce]

Foxes I like foxes

 

[avalokitesvara]

It's a photo from a performance piece by the Viennese Actionist artist Rudolph Schwarzkogler. That's how I feel, that's what being human feels like to me. Numb and half-dead and alone and in a state of total despair and collapse and dehumanised and faceless and identityless. Just a huddled form eking out survival in the barrenness of time.

Preikestolen (Norway).

20 years ago I've read about an internet-appointed double suicide that occurred there and I loved the idea.

Mine is El Indio who is the villain character in one of my fav films called For A Few Dollars More. There are parts in the film where he has this "ringing" in his ears and he smokes marijuana to dull the "pain" and so that resonated with me and my "numbing agents" (weed, junk food etc)

It's from the bizzare movie ichi the killer. This guy is a masochist like me

 

[Ch4in3dcr0w]

I just like the looks of the pfp i generally change them alot and they dont hold alot of value to me. Pretty sure i just found it and downloaded it from pinterest

It's from the movie the Big Blue at the end where the guy has to choose to either cling to life or let go.

Earlier in the movie he tells this story about how to meet a mermaid setting up the ending:

"You go down to the bottom of the sea, where the water isn't even blue anymore, where the sky is only a memory, and you float there, in the silence. And you stay there, and you decide that you'll die for them. Only then do they start coming out. They come and greet you, and they judge the love you have for them. If it's sincere, if it's pure, they'll be with you, and take you away forever."

It's Mathilda from movie leon the professional. I'm trying to not spoil the movie yet still explaining the profile picture. Mathilda is neglected and had to grow up way too early which shows in her behaviour. Driven by rage, revenge and the hope that the latter will finally give her peace. She yearns for love which is symbolised in the moment from my profile picture in which she "transforms" her style into the one of Leon which is a thing in many relationships wether in an purely emotional or spiritual level, way of thinking or like in this case the choice of clothing / style - a way that merges two seperate people into one. There're many things in there that resonate with me, so yeah.. that's basically why I picked this as my profile picture

My profile picture and the general profile aesthetic is of the Stranger Basil from Omori. Basil is one of the most characters I relate to due to his fear of abandonment and intense feelings of guilt which I suffer with too. Chosen the Stranger version of him specifically just cus of him being more disturbing looking.

I am thinking of changing it to Ashley Graves from The Coffin of Andy and Leyley tho as of my most recent big autistic hyper-fixation. She also suffers an intense fear of abandonment and want to go back to being a child which I feel too.

The Fall of Satan shows a suffering soul
Gustave Dore is one of the worlds most famous illustrators
this work is the portryal of Satan for the poem Paradise Lost
this illustration depicts Lucifers sufferings due to exile from heaven
self-doubt and feeling of alienation
you can see the expression of severe pain on his face and the suffering that is so strong that fainted Lucifer has to lean on the rock to avoid falling

 

[bankai]

It's guts from Berserk.Very similar to my own life. Well. I mean, I have to fight my demons too. Guts can barely sleep. His character is plagued by demons all the time. Even when he's sleeping.

That's what each day feels like to me. I don't sleep 8 hours a day or even 6 hours a day. Maybe four to five hours if I'm lucky.But I keep getting up in between those hours and falling asleep again.

Bit silly, I know. But it was quite inspirational to me.

 

[NearlyIrrelevantCake]

I have a whole folder of dumb animanga profile pics that I used on my blog back in the day. I just dug through the folder for something I thought looked nice.

 

[TBONTB]

Totally explains me. I like minimal effort

 

[psp3000]

I like tools and tinkering with things and fixing things and figuring out how things work

and I thought it would be a unique picture/no one else would have it (Jet Girl from Tank Girl, specifically one of the comic scenes from the movie)



If I didn't have this profile picture I would go back to my original profile picture which was a piano black PlayStation Portable 3000 with a white background or one of the women on the cover of Down and Dirty Duck

 

[ImnotCTB]

Always makes my mood low so it doesn't have to fall higher. p=mv, v=√(2gh). Less height=less velocity=less momentum=less damage

I'm a dumbass, I forgot this formula KE=(1/2)(mv^2),

 

[goatmonster :3]

the pfp i'm using right now is the secret NITW icon you can get in Emily Is Away 2.

 

[Bowerbird]

I love birds. My main interest. I always loved birds. I have more in common with birds than most other people.

Bird in my pfp is an adult male satin bowerbird, popularised by the lemme smash meme.

 

[Unbearable Mr. Bear]

It's mama bear! And she's so glad you noticed her!

 

[SomewhereAlongThe]

It's my path down to suicide. I chose nice scenery for this, despite life on my way to my death being bleak and stressful, because it's the only peace I've ever felt; walking down that path to my death.

 

[Britney Spears]

I adore Daenerys Targaryen and Britney Spears. When I joined Sasu, I was Dany for a while, when I had some strength left and was a warrior. Time and my situation deteriorated me, and I changed my entire profile to Britney Spears because I identify with them. I adore them both, but now I'm Britney since she went through a lot of hardship at my age, and it's more realistic.
I'm a mix of both. But all I have left of Daenerys is strength

I call this photo, Hell on Earth. I took it as part of a series one evening looking out over the pacific ocean. This is how it looked at the time, there is no retouching or modifying it.

 

[noname223]

I am a noname. And nonames have no faces.

 

[ASilentHope]

There's an abandoned town about an hour from me. In the middle of this field There's this really old oak tree. Took a few pictures there. Something drew me to it.

 

[lukewarmlemon4de]

its my melody and its pink and cute

 

[Angst Filled Fuck Up]

Apparently it's quite simply the greatest image in the history of the internet. This isn't me saying this, many people have told me so. I can't imagine why randoms on a forum would kiss my ass, so I feel like it's just easiest for me to believe them.

 

[cat_enjoyer22]

Funny cat

[OvercastingClouds]

It's Tamama from Sgt. Frog! Chose it on the whim because I saw it in my gallery but also because Tamama is adorable!
