/ apologies for the intrusive self centred question (but I’m sending it nonetheless, obviously…) /
Do you guys? Picture people as more than their pfp. Does that include me. A few of you have seen my face as idrc who does and doesn’t, but I keep getting told it’s not what people expected. So if you were to, what… would you expect?

It’s so awkward sending asks about oneself. How do you guys do this

if i do not know what someone looks like i just see them as their pfp. i know there is a person behind the screen but my brain just like... defaults? to thinking of them as their pfp.

no, at the end of the day people are people and i can't be bothered to know or imagine what they look like

i Do Sort of picture people as their Pfps but o also Dobt... Idk a lot of the Time i cant Conceptualize that You all are Real people atball and therefore do Not Have an Expectation for physical appearance

I think it’d be really funny if people were picturing me as park seonghwa from ateez if we’re just going off pfp s HEEELP. Usually I see people as their pfps but if I end up seeing what they look like I’m never THAT shocked tbh… I’ve noticed most people think I’d be a lot more masculine and get shocked when they find out I have long hair 😭😭 I get a lot of “I THOUGHT YOUD LOOK LIKE DENJI”s too like Boy I wish but my mother would never let me do that.

i do omly with my wife becahse shes too beautiful than just a pixel. ❤️ and the rest is like. whatever pfp they had for the longest time of me knowing tjem. to me you are aoba yaoi seragaki.

I don't think I could form a good visual image of you apart from your pfp. I'm always somewhat surprised when I hear someone's voice or see their face for the first time, not because it's different from their pfp, but because it basically makes me go, "wait, you have a face???" But when I think of you, I think of your QOTDs and general way of talking about things before I think of your avatar.

I base my whole personality around my pfp if my pfp changes so do I😉. Same applies for other people I just assume you look like your pfp
