Yes.

Yes, I envision everyone to look like whoever is in their avatar as dumb as that sounds. In ATRLand I'm Korean

That means in ATRLand I'm a white brunette female in her 20s

It's not the be all and end all but I think it matters quite a bit.

Yes

Not really. Most avis aren't who they are (unlike mine's because it actually is me…)

Does your avatar/icon matter to you? Yes. I love it.

Does someone's icon effect how you see them? No. I don't care who ur fave is.

And does it effect the things you say? No. I say what I want and let people say what they want.

For instance: I change my icon ALL the time on Tumblr. I think it effects how people see me and interpret me. So i'm always trying to make a good icon so people will think likely of me. Girl. Don't think of what other people might say or think about you. It's just a forum/

look at mine

People seem to like my avatar.

This is me. Most people think i'm a female, but i usually use female avatars.

I guess so.

And i love my tumblr icon. I don't think i'll ever change it

It's not about what they think of ME directly, it's more of whether or not they like my blog and what not. I don't know, it's hard to explain.

i try to not be persuaded by one's icon, and mine is just me lol
