Explain your Avatar

Mine's simple, I'm a fan of the band, a lot of their lyrics would strike a chord (!) with many of the topics discussed on ATS (Aliens, conspiracies, TPTB, space travel etc) and I think it's one of the best album cover designs I've ever seen!

"President Snow says he's sending us a message? Well, I have one for him. You can torture us and bomb us and burn our districts to the ground, but do you see that?" One of the cameras follows as I point to the planes burning on the roof of the warehouse across from us. The Capitol seal on a wing glows clearly through the flames. "Fire is catching! [...] And if we burn, you burn with us!"

Katniss Everdeen, pp. 99-100 The Hunger Games Trilogy - Mockingjay


Very interesting posts!

Nice veve. I've been doing some reading about voodoo lately.

Out of curiosity, it considered OK to display the veves outside of their ritual context? (avatars, tatoos, etc.)

Speaks for itself I think. Nice idea btw.

Well you really started this thread off with a bang.

I'm a grumpy old man.

I can see that! figuratively and literally!

I come from beauty, wisdom, feeling and knowledge...looking at a world destructing itself!

No deep meaning behind mine. I'm just a fan of pretty looking skies.

Mine came because I became fascinated with Genesis and how he viewed himself and the world. He thought of himself as a monster spawned from shinra. While his involvement in FF7 crisis core made sephiroth lose his way and became an ultimate villain, genesis chose the darkside in order to actually save the world from what it was becoming through extreme action, which makes him a villain/hero. Also I became fascinated with a poem he kept reciting which in a way is metaphysical.

LOVELESS ( POEM )

Loveless - Prologue

When the war of the beasts brings about the world's end
The goddess descends from the sky

Wings of light and dark spread afar
She guides us to bliss, her gift everlasting

Loveless - Act I

Infinite in mystery is the gift of the goddess
We seek it thus, and take it to the sky
Ripples form on the water's surface
The wandering soul knows no rest

Loveless - Act II

There is no hate, only joy
For you are beloved by the goddess
Hero of the dawn, Healer of worlds

Dreams of the morrow hath the shattered soul
Pride is lost
Wings stripped away, the end is nigh

Loveless - Act III

My friend, do you fly away now?
To a world that abhors you and I?
All that awaits you is a somber morrow
No matter where the winds may blow

My friend, your desire
Is the bringer of life, the gift of the goddess

Even if the morrow is barren of promises
Nothing shall forestall my return

Loveless - Act IV

My friend, the fates are cruel
There are no dreams, no honor remains
The arrow has left the bow of the goddess

My soul, corrupted by vengeance
Hath endured torment, to find the end of the journey
In my own salvation
And your eternal slumber

Legend shall speak
Of sacrifice at world's end
The wind sails over the water's surface
Quietly, but surely

Loveless - Act V -Made by Genesis-

Even if the morrow is barren of promises
Nothing shall forestall my return
To become the dew that quenches the land
To spare the sands, the seas, the skies
I offer thee this silent sacrifice

Also this awesome scene :p

The City of Lost Children [Moview review: Amazon.com]
"...Rising from the harbor is an enigmatic castle where lives the evil scientist Krank, who has lost the ability to dream and robs the nocturnal visions of the children he kidnaps, but receives only mad nightmares from the lonely cherubs."

Like Krank, I live in a world of mad nightmares. I'm here trying to make them make sense....

Considering everyone's avatar changes, this thread is kind of pointless. Not to mention someone already suggested the rating system of the avatar game a while back here www.abovetopsecret.com...]

My Avatar as of this post is a picture I came across that was taken in a particular way. Simply, a child looking through tubes that cipher light unto the world, in its entirety, a quite photographic opportunity.
