Firstly, my avatar originates from the 2016 Golden Globe Awards. It's Lady Gaga's head and hair, with Katy Perry's facial features: combined. I used to have a series of Lady Gaga gifs as my avatar that would coordinate with the time of the year. Eventually, I decided to stick to one JPG to use as my overall image on ATRL. In decent time, it has become a reaction JPG in various threads one notably being ATRL Scattergories, in which my avatar was constantly used for about 25 pages

Much like my avatar on ATRL, my persona or 'brand' would be considered two-faced - in the best way possible.
On one hand, I am serious and a truth teller; but I also can be playful and goofy. One of the main reasons I switched my avatar is to further incorporate a certain brand to myself. Having one, concrete JPG allows me to keep an image and immediately makes me recognizable. With the Gaga & Katy combined avatar, there are two faces being represented, which tends to go along with who I am on ATRL.

Examples of being serious and truth telling:

My Avi is from Brandy's 2015 Today Show performance for her sold out Broadway Stint for Chicago. For me, it symbolizes Brandy's comeback to the Mainstream. It represents her being happy, living life and being the kween that she is! When I saw this performance, I knew Brandy was in a new place in life and it just made me happy. Since then she's gotten a TV Show & a hit, but that's beside the point. Many seem to think that this gif is synonymous with my posts/posting style, and I would have to agree!

Unpredictable

Being on ATRL for the last 2 years, I've managed to construct the image of being.... unpredictable. With me, you never know what it is that you will get with my posts. Whether I'm
Being a rude bitch, Calling it like it is, being the Comedic relief to even Clocking for Brandy, You never know what you'll actually get from me in my posts. Will I be rude? Aggressive? Happy? Nice? Funny? Loveable? Who knows? I don't even know! I'd like to consider myself a miscellaneous Wildcard. & So would the mods, hence my 4 Bans.

This image is simply me. I've had this Avi for about 2 seasons now.
If I'm not mistaken, it was Cupid, who stated this could be my trademark, and I feel like it's grown to be.
It's very simplistic with rounded corners of the queen speaking to the girls.
This avi fits into my brands of Frankness and Candor because of it's simplicity, and
you can tell she's swiftly ending her statement with the nod that she does in the end.

A play on my original brand, Candor.
Frankness is defined as the quality of being open and honest.
And that's what I'm going to be, 100% of the time. I'm very to the point, and strong-willed.
I'm not going to make anything long, because I don't have to.
I have the skill of getting my points across swiftly and in the least amount of words.

.... btw the graphics are supposed to give off a sorority sister kind of vibe

I chose this avatar (shoutout to dwuw for making it for me ) for a few reasons. Firstly, i'm notorious for ugly avatars so I thought i'd shock everyone by wearing one that was a little less ugly. Secondly, I wanted to hide how basic I am and what better way to do that than by pretending to be a fan of anime? And thirdly, I'm tired of seeing avatars that are just a few frames of a pop girls music video, I find them bland and cliche, and those two words are words that can never be used to describe me
As for my branding, I'd say I present myself on ATRL as a lovable mess. My aim with every post is to make people say "OMG I can't believe he did that". Sometimes I get second-hand embarrassment from the things I post on here but i'm sure other members find it very difficult not to fall in love with me and my messiness

AVATAR


*Made by Wonderlust*

My avatar is pretty iconic, I think, at this point. I have kept it in the same since a couple months after I joined, and I do messyfun variations on it. My avatar has layers to it, because it makes me look like I'm an Anne stan. Every day more and more users are realizing that Anne is in fact pointing to Mariah Carey in the background (cue half of the people reading this going "OH MY GOD I DIDN'T EVEN NOTICE THAT").

I even made this not so ICONIC thread about my avatar. You can learn where it came from, and why it is such a funny avi.


BRAND


*Made by Satan*

I have a very witchy aesthetic, which goes along perfectly with my name. I'll post about casting spells, magic, and voodoo as a fun way to spice up my posts. More importantly, though, is that I think I come across as very genuine person. I don't try to be messy, overly quirky, bitchy, a delusional stan (even though I can be sometimes), a troll, etc. I just post how I would talk in real life. I don't take this forum too seriously, either, and I just like to have fun and enjoy connecting with the people on here, and I believe that comes across in my posts.

Facetious

A memoir of Buddha! ha brand.

I like to think of myself as a facetious user. Someone who likes to poke fun at others, not take everything too seriously, and someone who doesn't take this site so seriously. Yeah, yeah, I know you girls are gonna bring up the whole Melvin situation, but I wasn't being serious at ALL (if you hadn't caught on hihi.) This is really my overall persona and how I have branded myself on atrl. Nobody likes the serious girls, absolutely nobody. If you take yourself too seriously then you're probably doing something wrong outside of atrl (no shade.) Honestly, hardly anyone knows who I stan for because of the fact that I don't take everything on this site so seriously. Yes, the rumors are TRUE, I stan for Legend godga. Branding is very important to me. It's what sets me apart from everyone else, i'm not just your average member who posts about charts and ****, i'm someone who yeah, loves music, but never takes stanning seriously at all. So in total, I don't care what others think of me. What I post is not meant to be mean, or taken literally half of the time. Love me x

Some examples include:

Uno

Dos

Tres
And a little tidbit, this was after someone DARED to compare me to Ibe****INGMe

The AVATAR

Yes, YES, he lives! YES! King Ralph YES!



I have had this avatar for a long ass time. It low key gave me a new lease on my atrl life. Some of yall already know the story, but when I came back from my unfair ban, I decided to say **** you to the stanning world and just do whatever I felt like. So I changed my avatar to Ralph. It caught on very quickly and became widely known throughout the forum. I mean being nominated for best avatar twice now at the ATRL awards, and ranking on the most influential~ list alone kinda proves how much #impact Ralph has had on the forum.

You know, i've always had this notion; your avatar can make or break you on atrl. That was kind of the idea behind picking Ralph as my avatar. I've always been someone who strives to be different, out of the box, etc. On a pop forum full of thousands of gays with avatars as their faves, why the hell would I just want to blend in like that? That's not me. When people look at my posts, I want them to notice the full package; What i'm saying, and my avatar.
