In all fairness yhwx, Tobar gave you exactly what you asked for. If you are going to have opinions you shouldn’t have been so open-ended in your request.

Hey Tobar, can you write me a novel? It can be about whatever you want, but you have to write it for free and then only after you’ve written it will I decide if I’ll actually read it or not.

Bad analogy. Reading a novel is a very different activity than changing an avatar. I viewed the avatar and decided that I didn’t like it. In your situation, I would try to read the book and decide if I liked it or not.

Ok Warbler.

The details in an analogy matter. They can change what you mean entirely, since analogies are these fickle, fragile things.

The equivalent to your analogy would be if I didn’t look at his avatar at all. Obviously, that would be disrespectful. But somehow, I’m obliged to like the avatar and use it. Tell me, if Tobar wrote that novel for you and you didn’t like it, would you still approve it?

I’m also not ruling out the possibility of me coming back to the table and working on another that would satisfy me. You don’t get it right the first time. That’s the creative process.

YOU MAY HAVE MISSED THIS BUT YOU DIDN’T HIRE AN ARCHITECT.

We can still apply principles used at larger scales to situations at smaller scales. This is a creative process with iteration, just as building a building would be.

Continuing down this road only proves your Warblerness.

Says who? You? Or Tobar?

Hint - it’s just you.

Here’s an analogy. You asked for some food said make me whatever you want. Then you saw the food and were like no.

That’s rude. It isn’t considered a creative process between the eater and the cook.

What was weird was that you said you had one exception - no Pokemon - which made it seem like anything else would be fair game.

Wait, so how I’ve been picturing him this whole time is correct?

I thought Picasso’s “Coffee Pot” as my avatar would be fit my username, but I don’t think it really works well as an avatar, if that makes sense.

Anyway, just give me whatever avatar you think would work, Doc.

Yeah. Don’t do that. You have a lot to live for.

Yeah. Don’t do that. You have a lot to live for. So much that I had to post it twice.

I am also looking for an appointment with the Doctor. The Doctor has free reign over what the subject matter of the avatar is to be.

No Pokémon, however. I generally don’t like that game and did not know that my current avatar included a character from that game.

Vetoed.

Sounds reasonable.

I would like a new avatar. Use my current Brendon Small (Home Movies) Character, but incorporate The Last Jedi. I was thinking something from Crait, but i am open to whatever.
