On a good day I’m up around 5 AM, but I often find myself up even earlier than that. I joined my first Lemmy instance during one of these bouts of insomnia, prompting my username.
My avatar is from a worldbuilding project I work on.
Hollow is a song title by an EDM artist named Dabin and has themes about loneliness, emptiness, and inner turmoil. Also depression makes me feel hollow. V is the first letter of my first name.
Here’s the song: https://youtu.be/K-AD0iMs_ak
I like cats and that it looks like a stylised way of writing Cam, which is a cool little geared mechanism.
Reference to a bad* movie that I think everyone forgot. Except for me… Making sure that movie won’t be forgotten. (Well, I think its bad)
Never bothered with an avatar.
It’s my actual name, I got it for my birthday.
Bizzle is my legal name
Fo shizzle my Bizzle
I don’t have an avatar because I can’t figure out how to change it. Looked it up plenty and always come away empty handed.
On the web, click on your username in the upper right and then click on settings. Under Avatar you can browse your local file system for a suitable file.
Every time I see your avatar, OP, I think of Audacity 😅
Mine’s just… Something I came up with. It came to me in a dream I guess.
You’re not the first person to point that out. It reminds me of the Burger King logo personally. I did a little bit of research into color theory when designing it. I wanted blue and gold to be part of the color scheme and the red in the arch came up as a complementary color vs the other two.
As a child in the local library, I always passed the large print section and there was always this one book there: The Spitting Image. It had a furious-looking gargoyle on the cover and it used to scare me at first, but over time it seemed goofier and goofier. And since as an adult I have to fight the urge to be goofy when I should be serious, I felt like it was suitable.
Keys on a qwerty keyboard. Just so that it’s different here from everywhere else.
The only reason I have a username and not an avatar is because I was forced to pick a username but not an avatar when registering.
Just being honest and upfront, no reason to question otherwise.
I’m autistic, have adhd, am neither right or left handed, and am a sociopath.
I didn’t choose the weird life, the weird life chose me, I just accepted it.
World of Warcraft forums night-shift.
M is the first letter in my real name and 137 is my favorite/lucky number. I made my avatar about a decade ago, inspired by synthwave music and style (specifically after seeing waveshaper play live).
Dkp for the loot system and I have always liked punk music
My avatar is my orc rogue standing over Orgrimmar at sunset. It was when I first got my Thunderfury, so I wanted a cool picture with the badass sword.
Metastasio was an Italian poet and librettist who lived in the 1700’s. Being someone who creates poetry and music, I wanted a name to reflect that but with a modern flair, so I swapped “meta-“ for “giga-.”
Also, as “metastasis” translates roughly to “changing states,” “gigastasio” can be taken to mean “billions of states,” which is an apt description for how my mind works.
My pic is just some random pic I took. It’s my kid’s shark stuffie. His name is Chocolate Milk.
