I will when I have a better space for pondering.Now analyse me
Your avi is of a sleepy curiosity and I wish I knew who this character was because it is your affinity with it that is more meaningful to you than the expression on its face.Now analyse me
Do you mean the avi expresses sleepy curiosity, or makes you sleepily curious?
ohhhh this is neat
but how much of our analysis are coloured by pre-existing knowledge?

The fact that your avatar is unfinished suggests you view yourself as a work in progress--you have a goal in terms of who you want to be or what you want to do that isn't yet achieved.
You also admire or valorize ordinary, hard-working people, and want to be able to find happiness in a regular life.
As someone who somewhat knows who that character is, you really want to figure yourself out. The fact that she blinks means you also want to connect with people here, almost like you're trying to remind them that you're a person.
Hi Krypton, I was wondering. Was this for me or for @Ren?
Oh!For you.
How did you... are you psychic? That was amazing.
Neither of these posts were of how I actually determined my avatar but surprisingly, both analyses fit my psyche.
BTW, can we defend our own avatars?
Psychoanalysis is all about the unconscious, so the posts shouldn't be expected to describe your conscious choice in picking that avatar.
The avatar was derived from a state of my self that I, at one point, feared would be permanent. In that state, I was weak but determined to embrace my fragility regardless. This liberated me and paradoxically transformed me into someone powerful. She propels and I wanted to immortalize that. She is partial because she is only half of me but she's immortal because it is she who drives me forward.
The whole picture had been from this:
These are my two selves, but ultimately the weaker one of them is the one I find to be strongest.
Hahaha! It's nice to meet you formally, too.I also know you a little bit.
Probably a fair bit. We could anonymize it by having a single user post images sent to them by everyone and having people psychoanalyze the images.
Also, I'm gonna guess from your avatar that you fantasize about historical eras a fair bit (from the filter) and also from the fact that it's probably a picture of you that like a bit of realism in your fantasy. Oftentimes the real photo means someone's trying to be authentic but I don't get that vibe here. Not that you're fake or anything, but like...that's not the image you were shooting for.
Maybe you also view yourself as being a little bit apart from everyone else? "On the outside looking in", as the song goes. The filter is a little ghostly.
