If you analyze my current avatar, you'll realize that I actually put symbolic thought into it. XD I won't spoil anything though, so you can figure it out on your own.

Anyway, does anything around Midorea ever make you think that it's a symbol for something? Certain plots, items, or even in roleplays? I remember being told "everything's a symbol" last year in English class, so it's probably a pretty elementary question for some of you, but think about it. :3

(And talk about it, of course! I'm going to bed now.)

Hmm well it looks like you are the earth, well not precisely the earth but of earthly nature.. and you are being burnt down.. soo.. I'm thinking the symbolism is... that humans are destroying nature? Happy?

And I think I would have to think for a very long time about things around midorea before I could come up with things that I think they are symbolising.

Umm.. by the looks of your avi I'd say you're mother nature being destroyed, but the crown a gold items make me think there's more to it...
You're mother nature being destroyed because of the greed of man? o__o;
*is probably reading too much into it lol*

And literllay everything on Midorea is a symbol/allusion. XD Chu helps allot with symbolism for items. <3

I pretty much thought the same when I saw your avatar earlier. Something about nature being destructed and all. Though I'm not fully awake yet, so I could just be imagining things XD

I love the symbolism in Midorea. Not that I necessarily pay attention to it every second I'm on, but it gives more depth to the site, which is good. ^^

Not related but, *pokes Cat's eyes* Jab
You look like some Disney's deer or something XD

In a different vein of thinking, is your av symbolic of Nature's capacity for cruelty?

Oh, wait, wait, I have another one. Perhaps it's symbolic of the sun's role in nature, as it's all fiery doom, but there are leaves and sunflowers as well.

Symbolism is fun.

Hmm...Midorea is filled with lots of symbolic things. That's part of what I like about it. Although, being as I'm part of the newbfarm, I don't think I could make a list of them off the top of my head or anything.

I think that there are a lot of symbols in the world, and on different websites. I don't think that much I have done with my particular avatars on any site, though, have been to symbolic. I just throw things together that match. XD

As to your Avatar....I'm guessing you may have changed it since you posted, because I'm really not certain what it could symbolize at the moment. You look a little wintery. Of course, I may just be unable to see the symbol that you were trying to communicate.

I'll take your word for it, I failed at symbolism 101!

Even with her new avatar i can see symbolism. Like the white is the purity, but the black is covering it with.. say evil? I dunno. Nothing is truly pure. That is what I get from here avi now.

My grandmother is a shrink and says that it's human nature to find symbolism in what they see. So, thinking that way, we can find symbolism in anything.

That doesn't mean, of course, that there isn't any symbolism! Only that depending on who looks and what, you can find different things.

I love your grandmother. Bouncy Heart People call me crazy for finding symbolism in every day life; I call myself deep.

"lol sunset new beginning lol"

I didn't make this avatar with any symbolism in mind, I just wanted something monochrome. These things have a naturally negative connotation though, which makes me sad.
