So I realised today that of all the comics I read, GC is the one I look forward to the most every update. It's really great that it won that poll, I hope it gives Tom a lot more readers and publicity. I would love to buy myself an avatar but I just can't decide, there are so many amazing panels to choose from. Ysengrin is my favourite character in the story right now so I'd love one of him being his grumpy self. I also love Kat and her many wacky faces.

If nothing else it's vindication that people on the internet can have good taste. Go Tom!

Guys if you deliberately try to invoke the avatar fairies the spell will be broken and noone will get free avatars.

JT Jag posted:Somewhere, Lowtax is looking at the cashflow and wondering if people are buying a bunch of new Homestuck avatars because that was the last time he got this much booze money in such a short period of time. No, I think there was another, more recent, time period when a lot of avatars got bought all at once. I got my Volume 1 in the mail last week, and I immediately sat down and read through all the early strips again. It's fascinating to watch the art style change and mature.

As far as I know, mods need to request avatar changes from admins, who can upload images like separately from the avatar purchase page. These avatars are arriving a bit too quickly for it to be a mod, also I think giving custom titles out like this would be frowned upon by the admins.

Wrist Watch posted:I don't know about that but somebody posted before that one of the faeries is someone with a Gunnerkrigg Court avatar, so that narrows it down to pretty much everyone hth Best part is that the longer this goes on, the more potential people it could be. Chibi Rey is one of my favorites.

So, my Police Quest 2 LP is over and I finally got around to buying a new avatar. Giving it a test run. I'm betting the avatar fairy is multiple people as well. Whoever it is, though, you are awesome. Just saying.

I have seen people in other threads asking about them, though, which seems to have led some of them here, so hopefully they're having the desired effect.

Y'know, I'm beginning to think I'm too much of an abrasive rear end in a top hat for a Shadow 2 av. Considering switching to something with GKC visuals and MSPA text or vice-versa. Something likequote:
except not that one because someone else already took a technopipe avatar  Anyone have any other suggestions along those lines?

Oh hey more avatars:        I think I want to use either this one: this one maybe? or this one: It's hard, Coyote is such a charming fellow. As for text I'm thinking "Maybe one day I will tell you my great secret!" or "Coyote is no liar" Thoughts?

Alright, so I'm thinking it's about time to get myself a new avatar. I really like the Court symbol, but I can't decide between  or something like  Thoughts? (Text would have to be something along the lines of "It grew from the seed of Bismuth", obviously.)

If I got a Coyote moon av (which I wouldn't anymore, after my Paranatural av), I'd have to make the title "they say the moon smells just like a cherry bomb."
