I'm thinking of getting a Steely Dan set...
And to make this a discussion-
What do you think about peoples' sigs and who they are to you?
Do you prefer when people change their sets periodically, all the time, or never?
Does it confuse you when they swithch?
Do you even pay attention?
Thanks!

Awww, Margar. I love your sig/avy set! I remember you saying on several occasions that it was a badge of honor for you that you've had those ever since you first started here and haven't changed them since. And I forever associate that lovable spazzed out Zora with you! And even though your sig might look a bit crude and amateurish, I've come to associate it with you so much that its very crudeness has taken on a charm all to its own that I love. Some high-powered, fancy schmancy sig just wouldn't look right! And as someone else here has said, your sig
is a many-splendored thing.
(That, and also I don't know anything about Steely Dan and tend to find band sets too generic for my liking--but that's just me.
)
Nevertheless, I learned long ago that the (Zelda) Universe doesn't revolve around me, and you shouldn't let my preferences or that of anyone else sway you. It would certainly take some getting used to, but don't let people's opinions hold you back. If you want an avy change, go for it!
Oh, and don't be like me. On another forum I'm on (The Hylia), I tried jettisoning poor Marvin in favor of another avy. The outcry against this change was so great that in not even a month's time I found myself resurrecting the Paranoid Android. Which reminds me, what would people do here if I ever tried to replace my Marvatar?

My avy doesn't have a mouth either.
(But I guess he is pretty danged emotional still.

You know I love you, but I can see how this can be taken the wrong way.

But in your defense, Poultry, I can even more easily see how
