i think it's interesting how people's avi's reflect who they are and who they want to be. i know a big part of it is who yu want to be (what with the magical items and swords and beakons of blinding light and forever dark) but i guess what is interesting is what this says about us.
many choose to go with a darker themed avi. (i actually chose the 'beakon of light' avi) but i wonder if this means that you would actually rather be this symbol of darkness than who you really are. would you really want to be evil? if that's what it represents? but i know that in some cases (even in my own) having an avi gives youa chance to be creative and be someting you know you'll never be.
i just purchased some gothic veils because i love the lolita style and for a few weeks i got into the 'dark avi' thing. it was cool and ina way i sorta took on an alternate personality. i'm now back to the light side and i found that i missed it, because i realize that that's really where i wanted to be. i've always loved symbols of light and goodness and i've always tried to exert a pureness in my attitude and i know (from my own reflections) that my avi reflects what i want to be. pure and powerful. i know that this wont happen though.
i've actually thought it out and i realized that if i had this power i so covet, i would become corrupt. it would be small at first, but i just know it would consume me. it's kinda scary to think that and to acknowledge that it's true. but then again it's the basis of human nature, isn't it? i always daydream about having this power and being completly elfless with it. but the more i thought about it, the more i saw it would never be like that. so i guess it is a matter of personal decision, in wether choosing this light or darkness, i choose the light, but i have a feeling it's not where i'd end up. and then again...maybe they're just avatars.
