Humble request in relation to an avatar

To properly reflect the current state of the world, can I use the onoz emoticon as my avatar?



I know animated avatars aren’t allowed except for a few select exemptions, but I urge you to take into consideration my long, distinguished history of mostly useless sarcastic posting.

I thank the admins for the time they wasted reading this.


eta: If I don’t get a direct response stating otherwise by tomorrow I’ll assume I’m in the clear and can employ my animated avatar.
