What determines what your profile picture will be?
Not the most exciting question we know, however we always look forward to what it will be next, great ones include the Firefly Captain and star of the Rookie Nathan Fillion better known as Captain Malcolm Reynolds :( greatly missed and of course Marty McFly, 'I think he took his wallet' and now a bunny, or a chinchilla, guinea pig something cute. Stay safe and you should do this every now and then, as should other Hive'ers.
Well it is always Mal Reynolds in my heart, but I will give you a story of the transition.
I started Steem on July 1st, 2017. I didn't actually do anything until July 22nd. On the 26th I set my profile image to Mal Reynolds from Firefly (my favorite show).
Shortly after someone made me this cover image that I used since then.
That was 99% of my Steem history until the meeting with Justin Sun and Roy kept calling me different names, Marty being one of them. Being the jokester I am, I changed my profile image and cover image to go with the Marty McFly theme from Back to the Future. At this point my Steem life was dying, and Hive was being born.
When I came to Hive, I went with a Punisher theme, I wanted something different and was just one of the first things I thought of. Mainly because I like black and it looked cool, I planned on changing it later to something more interesting and have a custom profile image. It wasn't the great cover image, but I was just trying to get something up other than the Marty McFly theme.
I was approached by someone shortly after saying my profile was too aggressive for someone who does anti-spam and abuse fighting, and I should do something less so. Being the wiseass I am, I just picked the cutest bunny I could pick and something that looked like a rainbow for the cover image that didn't get stretched to look awful.
Hope that helps, it was a wild ride.
Well great taste in sci fi, one of my favourite t's is Mal with I shoot First, your humour knows no bounds. Reading that made the profile saga become clear and made me laugh too, I also did wonder where the bunny came from, mystery solved - what a wild ride indeed.
I await the next potentially crazy profile pic, thank you
