My Avatar, My Self
My Avatar, My Self: Identity in Video Role-Playing Games | Zach Waggoner
56 posts
With videogames now one of the world's most popular diversions, the virtual world has increasing psychological influence on real-world players. This book examines the relationships between virtual and non-virtual identity in visual role-playing games. Utilizing James Gee's theoretical constructs of real-world identity, virtual-world identity, and projective identity, this research shows dynamic, varying and complex relationships between the virtual avatar and the player's sense of self and makes recommendations of terminology for future identity researchers.

This picture is taken by my sister in June. I wanted one special picture for my book blog. And sister found this idea me sitting on the floor with books around me. I use this picture in all my social media (FB, IG, GR...). I love it.❤❤😍

My #avatar is a picture of the beautiful and strong Frida Khalo, because I have a crush on nonconformists women 💪🖤 My #litsyhandle is just some random name that I saw on a fashion magazine, and adapted a little bit!

Let me jump on this #litsyavatar post. My daughter, lover of all books, and I. Parents, what is your favorite book to read to your child? Any suggestions?

AshleyHoss820 Lovely, the both of you!! My favorite book to read to my kids was The Monster at the End of this Book because you get to do Grover‘s funny voice! 😊 6y
JaclynW Great picture! One of my daughter's favorite books to read together is 6y
JaclynW @AshleyHoss820 I second this book! It's always a favorite! 6y

JGadz11 I don‘t have any children, but I am a middle school teacher. They love when I read Scaredy Squirrel, and also the Pigeon series (Mo Willems). Scaredy is a little more nuanced, maybe for a little older - but the Pigeon is fun to add voices and emotions to! 6y

Kaye I can‘t remember what all I read my kids. They are now almost into their 40s. Long time ago in a galaxy far away. When I took care of my grandson, he loved all Dr Seuss, the Froggie books, the one with the boy named David, but his favorite was The Spooky Old Tree. 👻 6y
minkyb Note: My children are adults now but I remember reading Jamberry, Ten in the Bed, When I‘m sleepy, Magic Treehouse, Cam Jansen, Junie B. Jonas, Andrew Clements, Katherine Paterson...I could go on forever. 6y

#LitsyAvatar @Chelleo This is the custom avatar that Lemoness from Habitica made for me when I became a mod. I was, and am, so proud to play such a part in such a lovely website. 💙

Sorry the quality is terrible... Can't find the original file.

Chelleo What‘s Habatica? So cool to have a truly unique avatar! 6y
shanaqui @Chelleo It really is! Habitica is a site and app that gamifies good habits, like brushing your teeth or not buying too many books.. It has a really nice social community and I think it was actually someone I knew from Habitica who got me onto Litsy! 6y

The story of #mylitsyavatar and my #profilepic is pretty simple. I love pirates. It started when Errol Flynn and his swashbuckling ways enchanted me when I was a wee lass of 4 or 5 (See also Robin Hood). And my name is Jennifer. Then there‘s the song “Pirate Jenny” from Threepenny Opera. I use the name whenever I can. The pic is from a pirate birthday party of the daughter of some friends a few years ago. I‘m not Aunt Jen to her; I‘m Pirate Jenny

My #LitsyAvatar is of Corey & I at his annual Christmas party! We don‘t take much time for just us, he works a lot & now that I am a SAHM I‘m constantly taking both of our busy girls here & there. So this was a rare but fun night where we got to have time alone (although with his co-workers). But still, it was fun for this recent SAHM to have a reason to dress up & throw a lil make-up on & fix my hair! & my handle is my name plus my lucky number😏

SassyBookworm P.S. fun fact about my name is that I‘m named after both of my great-grandmothers Chrysta comes from my dads grandmother Chrystal & my middle name Marie comes from my mothers grandmother Jewell Marie. 6y

#LitsyAvatar

My Litsy Avatar is a year old picture of myself in Prince George, BC. I went out there for a wedding and here I am a little bit pissed off due to a storm which delayed my flight by 24 hrs. No biggie because the other lady staying at the AirBnB was amazing and I kinda wanted to steal her dog because he was the most cutest thing. Just kidding!

My #LitsyAvatar is one of my favorite photos, not because of how it looks, but because I remember vividly how I felt. My daughter was a micro-preemie, and she was just a couple weeks old here. She was born 16 weeks early, and was fighting for her life, so the rare opportunities I was able to hold her were pretty much the only times my heart felt whole. ❤️ #profilepic

My #LitsyAvatar is just a selfie. I took it in August of 2016 when I had pink and purple hair (my hair is brown, and purple, and turquoise now) and I added a Prisma filter to make it look like a painting. I suppose I should update it, but tbh I just don‘t feel like it. It was current when I joined Litsy. 🤷🏻‍♀️

I like to walk and read. The stairwell at work has an area behind it that I do laps in on breaks. I liked my hair this day so I snapped a pic. Even though it shows a scar patch near my eye - I had to wear it for 3 months after getting Shingles in Sept- I still like it. I do not like many pics of myself. #litsyavatar
My handle is obvious but on other sites I use Trishanna which is a mash up of my first and middle names, Patricia Ann. #litsyhandle

My #LitsyAvatar is a photo of me from my first full day in London on a week's trip there with my boyfriend after I graduated from library school in May. My mom paid for my manicure for graduation and I got lemon yellow nails to match my hood. Eric had never been to London whereas I spent a semester abroad, so we spent that first day just "Londoning."

Chrissyreadit @saresmoore thanks! Homeschooling is hard, and having a supportive group is what helps me most. Some days I wonder if traditional school would be easier. Are your kids grown? 6y
saresmoore They are 7 & 9. We switched to public school in August, per their request. I had zero support, but I‘ve recently moved to a place that has great homeschool community and I‘m tempted to give it another go. The kiddos are bored and totally unchallenged in school, but they like all the friends. It is certainly easier, but I wouldn‘t say it‘s better. 6y
Chrissyreadit @saresmoore good luck no matter what direction you go in! There is never a perfect solution, in my opinion, just the one we can do our best in. 6y

My #LitsyHandle AlobelThee started out with Aloe as the popular drink I often bought. There was a #QueerBooks Annabel song by Goldfrapp that had me thinking of an androgynous name, also with Poe's poem Annabel Lee in mind. Aloe adds a great spiritual side of healing the soul, with a unique sense of knowing myself. ✨

My #LitsyAvatar was taken last winter, with a variety of photo filters for the snowy style. I'll try for a new one near the summer.

This is a bigger version of my #litsyavatar
I can‘t say it was chosen after a lot of consideration, I just had a quick look on the Book of Face for some photos I was tagged in and saw his one that I remembered I‘d liked.
This was in Shangri-La at Glastonbury Festival a few years ago. I‘m in typical festival attire, pigtails and a straw cowboy hat! I liked the way the people walking past had blurred and the sign above; “We wanted to be the sky”🎵

My avatar has become my trademark all over the Internet. It is the header on my Blog, on Facebook, on Litsy, on Twitter, on Instagram, etc.

The story behind my avatar is that when I visited Portree, Scotland, and took a photo of these lovely pastel-colored homes in the adorable village, I had to make it my own and so I did. :)

Mitch Down the bottom, near the blue pub. We spent a wonderful week on Skye, walking and eating cake! 6y
SilversReviews @Mitch Fun...we were only there a few days. It was quite cold, but the atmosphere made up for the weather. :) 6y
Mitch Absolutely- we had rather wet, damp weather and loved it even more because of it! 6y
SilversReviews @Mitch Truly authentic. :) 6y

Here's a close up of my #LitsyAvatar - it's from a couple of years ago, one of those rare occasions where I took a selfie at one in the morning and it turned out decent! 😂Lol so I used this as my profile pic on Facebook for awhile and used it for other things. Probably time to change it soon! This and the #LitsyHandle prompt are cool ideas @Chelleo ! Great way to learn more about everyone here. 🤗

Chelleo 😍👍🏾pretty 6y

This is my avatar pic... actually an old pic of me and my son from a year and a half ago. It was my Goodreads profile pic so again out of laziness I just picked when I joined here! @Chelleo @Chelleo

My #litsyavatar is just a favourite picture of mine. My #litsyhandle has a better story though. When we were little kids my dad used to recite the poem Jabberwocky to us, while running about and trying to catch us. My sister and I now both have the poem memorized ourselves and I often run through it when I‘m feeling anxious or scared.

Gezemice That‘s really cool. 6y
SilversReviews Love the story of your name. 6y
Laura317 Your dad sounds awesome! 6y
Jabberwocky @Gezemice @SilversReviews @laura317 Thank you! He really is 💖 (edited) 6y
Chelleo That is a great story! I remember learning the poem in school but only the word jabberwocky stick with me. 6y

So, my avatar is a cat wading through deep snow. This is really just because a) I love cats and b) I love snow. I grew up in NW Nebraska and the snow was often so deep you couldn‘t see your car, let alone your pets. I don‘t get that in Kansas and I really miss it. But because this is an opportunity to get to know each other, I‘ve included a pic of me from a couple weeks ago. I was showing off a new haircut. #ProfilePic #LitsyAvatar

Cathythoughts Love the cat in the snow ❤️& love the hair style (edited) 6y

This #LitsyAvatar was taken last winter. I was going through a tough time (my husband and son had moved back to Utah, but I chose to stay in Texas to finish the school year with my students). That day I was wearing my new Hogwarts Alumni shirt (for college-shirt day at school), and my hair was behaving and I felt good about myself, so I decided to take a selfie. It's a fave pic of mine, so it's currently my pic on a most of my social media...

Melissa_J It‘s a lovely picture 😊 6y

My #litsyavatar was taken the week after Thanksgiving in Central Park. My hubby and I spent 6 days in NYC as part of our vacation. It's now one of our most favorite trips.
@Chelleo These are fun!
I don't really have much of a story behind my #litsyhandle. I can't remember when I came up with it but I have had it from way back when I had a sewing blog. It's my Twitter handle too but I'm not on Twitter much.
