So, I'm without an avatar pic at the moment. Anyone care to help me choose from two possibilities?
Some here may be familiar with the Japanese folktale of the red and blue oni, but if not, here's a quick extract from Wikipedia:

(The last paragraph under the heading "Stories")
So, which should I have as my next Kyon avatar? The red oni or the blue oni?
Some here may be familiar with the Japanese folktale of the red and blue oni, but if not, here's a quick extract from Wikipedia:
"Red Oni Who Cried" is a story of two oni, one red, the other blue. The red one wants to befriend humankind, but they are afraid of it, making the red oni cry. Knowing what the red oni wants, the blue oni devises a plan to make himself the villain by attacking the houses of the humans and allowing the red oni to save the humans from the blue oni, making the red oni a hero to the humans' eyes. After the humans see the red oni protect them from the blue oni, they determine that the red one is a good oni whom they would like to be friends with, which is what the red one wanted. Seeing this exchange, the blue oni decides to leave so as not to cause any misunderstanding with the humans. When the red oni decides to go home to his friend the blue oni, he notices that the blue oni is gone and realizes what the blue oni has done for him and cries from being touched by the blue oni's thoughtfulness and wonderful friendship.
