If You'd Consider a Hat... · 12:07am Dec 7th, 2012
Dear Loyal Watchers, Interested Visitors, and Confused Passersby:
I don't usually do this type of thing.
I don't like trying to use what little "fandom capital" I have on personal projects and irrelevancies. None of you come here to be told what I think you should do or to hear my wishes.
Still, I have this little idea, and I can't help but feel that it's something that is a good idea... on one level or another.
Would please consider putting a Santa hat on your avatar?
Yeah, like that one.
That's all I'm asking for.
A Google Images search for "Santa Hat" comes back with literally hundreds of transparent .gifs that would be so easy to apply with even the most rudimentary image manipulation software. Seriously, it is easy. I'm just about the laziest person you know, and I did it in maybe fifteen minutes using "Preview", the most pedantic of all image software. Using an avatar that already has one on is cool too!
But why?
There is no reason. There is no greater purpose. We're not out to fight the homeless, prevent whales, save cancer, or preserve forest fires (those may have gotten slightly mixed up). I'm not trying to raise awareness about this, that, and the other thing (of this other thing that I talked about that one time). I know we don't all do the Santa thing, but the hat itself pre-dates Moore's poem, so it's really just a winter hat, if that sways your opinion.
I just want to see a wide swath of red and white greeting me as we grow closer and closer to Christmas. I just want something of the fun that was present in this fandom to show up again. I just want Knighty to sit down to his computer, open the site, and have the most merry "WTF?" of his life go across his features as he checks every news post just to discover a tide of holiday-flavored bonnets smiling back at him. That's all... just for fun. Just a big old in-joke between us and our 40,000 friends here on FIMFiction. Nothing more.
Please consider doing so. Please consider reposting this to your blog when you do.
Also, do it or I'll come caroling to your house.
You don't want that.
Happy Holidays,
and Stay Awesome,
-T.D.
Borat approves
And so do I
well, for me christmas is just another day, except sometimes for a small get together..
..but why not?
Ooh, I now want to see my avatar with santa hats...
Bleh. I dislike Christmas. I decline.
Nyah.
Presto ^^
Already did
.
Yeah, I suppose I can get behind this.
Drawing new avatar now... I hate doing copy pasta to something I drew, so new avatar from scratch!
Only for you.
(It is hard to put a hat on a circle, and I am truly lazy...)
Not sure how I could .-.
Should I?
Eh, what the heck, I've got nothing better to do.
Edit: It won't fit...
I would have to choose a new avatar...
TIME TO GET STARTED ON THAT RIGHT AWAY!
Hehe... yeah...
Does part of a hat count?
Done and done.
Sounds neat. Will do.
also, If you take a plane, and come to my home, identify yourself as khan, and start to sing carols, I will
invite you in, and give you something cold to drink... yesterday there was 32º in the shadow...
At first I wasn't going to, as I didn't think I'd get one for my avatar, but I found one!!
And on the subject of hats......
Sorry, couldn't help myself!!
Also, good luck trying to come caroling where I live. I highly doubt the armed guards would let you pass
just "because someone didn't put a red and white hat on their avatar. On a My Little Pony fiction website".
A noble idea indeed, been looking for a new profile picture anyway
Best pony in a santa hat coming up!
Edited: And done! She put up a fight though...and is not happy with it.

I had to find TWO!
How's this?
No, because I'm a jerk.
I'll take my chances, and trust that you'll never find me.

I like your avatar so I made you one with a hat, I hope you like it!

And done! Take that, you hatless fiends!
I'm far too lazy to do this.
Would one of you kind fellows mind doing it for me?
581557 Thank you, it actually looks pretty good.
Great, now I have to find a way to make it back up to you.
No more favors until you post more stories.
Eh, why the hell not.
Okay.

Sad Flutters with a Santa hat? Y'know, why not?
Dear Lord it looks terrible. But you shouldn't look a gift horse in the mouth. *winknudgewinkthatsabadpunwink*

Save that as soon as possible, please. It's hosted on my personal, and very bandwidth restricted website.
im going to, too!! just when I have some time though...

Thank you, there is really no need to make up for it.

I just couldn't find the "right" hat, but I think this one does rather well.

edit: Made the hat a bit more fitting to the "mood" of the picture
581641
Dammit, yours looks better.
581627>>581641
Thank you very much to the both of you. I think I'm gonna go with Splitframe's, though. I did, however, save both of them to my archive.
Cheers!

Thank you, but it's so sweet of you to make one as well.
I literally hat a lucky pick just as I wanted to close the tab,
I thought I'd never find a hat that fits this picture.
The things I do for you, T.D...
But then I stuck a Pinkie Pie in there.
Because why not?
Too lazy

Four minutes, thirty-seven seconds. Longest part was waiting for the damn commercials on Photobucket to end...
...
Ohhh, why not!

Really needed the laugh this gave me tonight. Onward to find a hat!

Who says ya' would?
Done.
Will do! ....this is seriously the best idea ever you know. I want to see everyone with a Santa hat avatar now.
Edit took longer than I thought... but I went all out
