I think Toony asked her to use it before Applesause started using her current one. I don't remember if you had one before the current one though.
He asked me to use it more than 3/4 a year ago, as far as I remember--i.e. the summer of 2010 at the latest. Yes, he did ask me to use it before Applesauce started to use her avatar; in fact, he asked me to use it half a year before she joined the forums.
But you know what? I don't give a fuck. It doesn't really matter who did what first. I tried to fulfill a request and seem to have offended people, and the offense matters more than any claim to an image of an apple.
I've changed it to frikadeller, so let's move on, shall we?
Applesauce had hers first. Because applesauce does everything first.
Cute story, bro! On the other hand, it is possible to suck up to a favored poster without employing it as an "argument" in a clash over historicity. I know it's hard to take that extra step and PM someone with your IM handle and a request to chat, but I'm sure that if you make a wish, you can in fact keep your sap out of other people's disputes.
Direct compliments > white-knighting against someone who made a mistake. Keep it in mind.
Lordy, this is why I usually keep out of fandoms and stick to something neutral like food pictures (here) or mathematicians (elsewhere). At least you guys aren't as bad as the Hetalia crowd, which is basically 300% ship wars and porn, and -200% actual quality. Plus .000000000001% mathfic.
And as far as the rest of this bullshit goes: I don't really give a rat's plague-bearing ass if you write me into fanfic, fanart, shipping walls, or Bay12 relationship triangles. But don't treat me as though I weren't here, and don't pit me against other people. I already pick enough arguments myself without anyone else's help, and I'd rather mediate my own problems than be meddled with by other people's good intentions.
