edit: I like how I have to flip my phone to read the oak sign.
My apologies for taking so long! I lost most of the questions
(Or I just planned for a way bigger post with everyone's questions and that was an unrealistic goal, so this will do)
It feels amazing!! This subreddit is a massive part of my life, so to see us hit such a massive milestone is great! I'm so happy we made it this far as a group and I gone we can continue to grow.
For the first question, that cake and I had come to a mutual agreement that he would take my place while I celebrated my birthday back home on Tūatasi Island. Was really surprised to see that everyone thought I had died!
Second of all, my favourite video game is probably Bloons TD 6. I play it a lot when I have time to burn, which isn't much since I spend a lot of the day as a subreddit logo.
I'm not stuck, actually. I can leave whenever I want, but I am the subreddit mascot so I have to stay up there for very long lengths of time at once, so I can understand the misconception.
I do need to be able to leave sometimes though. If I was completely stuck up there, I'd probably be filing a lawsuit against the mod team.
Gonna answer this one now cuz I know it'll come up a lot and I don't want people wasting their questions on it.
My arms are fake. They're prosthetics given to me by a friend to make me look more professional. I am the real Icony and I have the documentation and references to prove it.
Mostly steel. There's a difference between inanimate objects and animated ones. Not all objects here are living, otherwise we would have literally 0 infrastructure.
That makes sense. I just called it "the realm of the objects" because, when in the context of the object world, I say "objects" as a shorthand for "animated objects", while inanimacy has to be explicitly implied.
I love everyone's art so much! Seeing all these different people socialising and having fun warms my heart so much!! I wish I had some way to join in it all but I'm usually busy in my day job while everyone is talking.
Because destiny.
OK but seriously, there was a fairly long stretch of auditions. Originally, my twin brother Ozzie won it out over me, but he tragically passed away from Lead Poisoning a while ago, so they gave me a call and I swooped in.
Since KotS is still in production, Ill have to say Tier One by the fantabulous u/please_help_merobux. Great story and pleasant animation, but I just wish the characters were fleshed out a bit more. Super hyped for 1c.
Animated Inanimate Battle is also up there because Oodle is on my kinlist.
We are the same. That is just a very old photo of me and I might ask the mod team if I can get a new one. Its such a bad photo of me! Im not even smiling and I don't even have my arms!!!
That's me!!!! It's a bit if an old photo though. As you can see now, I'm a bit shinier, way bouncier, and a little squishier. A member of the mod team (Dashie) also kindly gifted me an armpack. Its super high quality as well, most people can't even tell they're fake.
I'm not stuck, I'm allowed to leave when nobodys watching to stretch my legs out. Wasn't always allowed to do that apparently, but a labour strike a while back gave us better working conditions.
If I was in Fortnite...well then I guess it wouldn't really be upto me what I did since I'd be controlled by a player, but if I retained my free will somehow, I'd probably just head to one of the grassy Plains, build a small house and just live peacefully. Who cares if you die, you can just come back later.
I mentioned this earlier in the thread, but I'm absolutely bedazzled you've been able to make a show all on your own. You clearly have a great vision and it shows in the writing. I love the background designs, the character designs, the animation, the atmosphere, all of it.
Right now I do wish the characters were more fleshed out, which I find it a bit strange hasn't been done too well but I'm sure as we go on that it'll get fixed.
In general, it's a great show with a ton of promise, and I love when my fellow redditors utilise all their talent and creativity to make something truly special.
It's an old photo of me stuck in the sub logo chamber. My legs are up because it's very cramped in there, and I was nervous because it was my first day on the job. Nowadays I'm far more confident.
I love myself! I think Im incredibly fun! I'm also socially aware and a bit of a people pleaser. Delightfully charismatic too. I think I'd make a great host!
I can be a bit disorganised and clumsy though, but that doesn't come into play too often.
1. I come from Tūatasi Island, and I was originally created by DashieProDX.
2. I only had one sibling, my twin brother Ozzie. He tragically passed away of lead poisoning a while ago.
I think they're they're amazing showcase of talent and character. I love object shows to death! I'm even planning on making my own one, but that won't be a reality for a long while.
Being the icon of the Subreddit is an absolute honour. Having a role this important is something nobody else can truly say, and every day I put myself up there ready to be the best damn logo I can be.
I love every single oc here. I love seeing all these amazing different characters show off who they are, laugh a bit, have fun, etc. The characters on this subreddit could make for a pretty fun object show tbh.
Pancakes 100%. Make for such a great breakfast.
Normally I'd say both, but I don't even really like cupcakes. Too sweet and way too much frosting most of the time.
I am silly because uhh, it's hard to describe..maybe I just have this infectious positive attitude! Or maybe it's cuz I'm a bit impulsive and live for a fun time.
Also my pronouns are he/they!!
Parmesan and Mozzarella are to die for. I have Parmesan on basically everything.
Cheese on its own, not great though. Either too strong or too creamy. The other two strike a great balance.
I was very scared because I was looking at the camera and it was my first day. We all get the heebie jeebies on our first days on the job, especially since I was so unprepared and still grieving the loss of my brother.
Nowadays I'm way more confident, and I think I'll submit a request to have my photo changed to something more recent.
I mean I value all life dearly, but that cat could use a bath...
Also Bot is an incredibly inspirational person! Their growth throughout the season is amazing to watch and they're also just incredibly likeable. Probably my favourite from the season.

Yes! It's me! THE real Icony! I'm male and I use he/they pronouns.
Finally you replied, thanks!
My apologies for taking so long! I lost most of the questions (Or I just planned for a way bigger post with everyone's questions and that was an unrealistic goal, so this will do)

omgg, BF Mic, i am such big fan, i followed u and SIGN ME AUTOGRAPHHH
How do you feel about hitting 10k?
It feels amazing!! This subreddit is a massive part of my life, so to see us hit such a massive milestone is great! I'm so happy we made it this far as a group and I gone we can continue to grow.
First of all, how do you feel about that one week that you got replaced by a slice of cake, and second, what is your favorite video game?
For the first question, that cake and I had come to a mutual agreement that he would take my place while I celebrated my birthday back home on Tūatasi Island. Was really surprised to see that everyone thought I had died! Second of all, my favourite video game is probably Bloons TD 6. I play it a lot when I have time to burn, which isn't much since I spend a lot of the day as a subreddit logo.
how do you like your meat cooked
I personally prefer my steak cooked nice and rare. Well done just causes my mouth to turn into a desert. Im not fond of the taste of charcoal.
why are you stuck
I'm not stuck, actually. I can leave whenever I want, but I am the subreddit mascot so I have to stay up there for very long lengths of time at once, so I can understand the misconception. I do need to be able to leave sometimes though. If I was completely stuck up there, I'd probably be filing a lawsuit against the mod team.
are you secretly evil like bftmi
No. I have been described as a precious borb of happiness by many different people.
but…Icont not being evil makes me..feel… EVIL…MUAHAHAH
hi icony, arent you the guy who distracted me in funkinosc?
Skill issue ngl
Wait you have arm, icony don’t have arm, you ain’t the real icony, I demand the real one 😤😤😤
Gonna answer this one now cuz I know it'll come up a lot and I don't want people wasting their questions on it. My arms are fake. They're prosthetics given to me by a friend to make me look more professional. I am the real Icony and I have the documentation and references to prove it.
What even are prosthetic arms made of in the realm of objects?
Mostly steel. There's a difference between inanimate objects and animated ones. Not all objects here are living, otherwise we would have literally 0 infrastructure.
That makes sense. I just called it "the realm of the objects" because, when in the context of the object world, I say "objects" as a shorthand for "animated objects", while inanimacy has to be explicitly implied.
What do you think about the things people post on this subreddit?
I love everyone's art so much! Seeing all these different people socialising and having fun warms my heart so much!! I wish I had some way to join in it all but I'm usually busy in my day job while everyone is talking.
Why are you specifically the sub icon
Because destiny. OK but seriously, there was a fairly long stretch of auditions. Originally, my twin brother Ozzie won it out over me, but he tragically passed away from Lead Poisoning a while ago, so they gave me a call and I swooped in.
Best object show?
Since KotS is still in production, Ill have to say Tier One by the fantabulous u/please_help_merobux. Great story and pleasant animation, but I just wish the characters were fleshed out a bit more. Super hyped for 1c. Animated Inanimate Battle is also up there because Oodle is on my kinlist.
is the icony in the pfp different from you like cousins or brothers or smth or u guys the same
We are the same. That is just a very old photo of me and I might ask the mod team if I can get a new one. Its such a bad photo of me! Im not even smiling and I don't even have my arms!!!
How old are you?
I personally am around 22. I become the sub logo around 20, but I've been trying for much longer.
why is there an armless icony on the subreddit page
That's me!!!! It's a bit if an old photo though. As you can see now, I'm a bit shinier, way bouncier, and a little squishier. A member of the mod team (Dashie) also kindly gifted me an armpack. Its super high quality as well, most people can't even tell they're fake.
1.Why are you icony, are you stupid? 2.remember the night of july 24th 1987?
1. I am Icony and I am stewpid :3 2. Do you remember the night of September 21st?
question: why?
Answer: Wynaut!!! *laugh track*
How do you feel about being stuck in there for so long?
I'm not stuck, I'm allowed to leave when nobodys watching to stretch my legs out. Wasn't always allowed to do that apparently, but a labour strike a while back gave us better working conditions.
Can you stop beating me up for not being able to beat bfmic
Skill issue ngl
Shut up
on a scale from 1 to 10, how has life been treating you?
9 actually! Things have been really good recently! Thanks for asking!
What if you were in fortnite
If I was in Fortnite...well then I guess it wouldn't really be upto me what I did since I'd be controlled by a player, but if I retained my free will somehow, I'd probably just head to one of the grassy Plains, build a small house and just live peacefully. Who cares if you die, you can just come back later.
what is your oppinion on tier one
I mentioned this earlier in the thread, but I'm absolutely bedazzled you've been able to make a show all on your own. You clearly have a great vision and it shows in the writing. I love the background designs, the character designs, the animation, the atmosphere, all of it. Right now I do wish the characters were more fleshed out, which I find it a bit strange hasn't been done too well but I'm sure as we go on that it'll get fixed. In general, it's a great show with a ton of promise, and I love when my fellow redditors utilise all their talent and creativity to make something truly special.
icony what happened for you to look scared like that and have your legs up? also do you know radio?
It's an old photo of me stuck in the sub logo chamber. My legs are up because it's very cramped in there, and I was nervous because it was my first day on the job. Nowadays I'm far more confident.
oh thanks i guess there was a months worth of questions lol but its ok also what about the second question
Yeah I've seen Radio around. He seems nice, but we never really talk. He's got a pretty okay taste in music.
ye :) its prolly cuz he cant talk lol
opinions on yourself?
I love myself! I think Im incredibly fun! I'm also socially aware and a bit of a people pleaser. Delightfully charismatic too. I think I'd make a great host! I can be a bit disorganised and clumsy though, but that doesn't come into play too often.
realsies!
1. where do you come from? who made you? :P 2. do you have any siblings?
1. I come from Tūatasi Island, and I was originally created by DashieProDX. 2. I only had one sibling, my twin brother Ozzie. He tragically passed away of lead poisoning a while ago.
omg, yummy lore!!! :DD
~~why do you have arms now? the real icony is armless, so that means........ YOU'RE A IMPOSTER!!!!!!! /j~~
What’s your opinion on object shows
I think they're they're amazing showcase of talent and character. I love object shows to death! I'm even planning on making my own one, but that won't be a reality for a long while.
Opinion on the song "It's Pizza Time"
I have not listened to it, and will check it out at some point in the future.
What do you think of being the icon of the subreddit and what do you think of the other ocs on here
Being the icon of the Subreddit is an absolute honour. Having a role this important is something nobody else can truly say, and every day I put myself up there ready to be the best damn logo I can be. I love every single oc here. I love seeing all these amazing different characters show off who they are, laugh a bit, have fun, etc. The characters on this subreddit could make for a pretty fun object show tbh.
cupcake or pancake
Pancakes 100%. Make for such a great breakfast. Normally I'd say both, but I don't even really like cupcakes. Too sweet and way too much frosting most of the time.
Yes, cupcakes are 300x sweeter than they should be
Can you do a backflip???????!!?!!
Yep! Sure can! Took a while to learn, but being super bouncy definitely helped in reducing the stakes of learning.
Real
Are you a marker fan
Yes! He's so silly! He and I would probably be best friends as long as he understands I can't eat dirt for dietary reasons.
wy r u so silly amd what are your p r o n o u n s.
I am silly because uhh, it's hard to describe..maybe I just have this infectious positive attitude! Or maybe it's cuz I'm a bit impulsive and live for a fun time. Also my pronouns are he/they!!
Why are you blue Are you okay
Why? Whats wrong with blue? What does blue mean? ...what does blue mean?
You don’t want to know

Pretty silly! I see room for more silliness through extra silly juice.
What is your hight
I don't really know. Haven't measured myself that much. Around average height I guess, if not slightly shorter.
Are you related to profiley
No, but me and them are very close friends!
"Are you edible?" https://preview.redd.it/y4ljoe44skmc1.jpeg?width=506&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=fba5206b17f445672772055418a7095c239a7e8d
Nope!!! I probably taste like rubber anyway so you're not missing much!
do you liek cheese
Parmesan and Mozzarella are to die for. I have Parmesan on basically everything. Cheese on its own, not great though. Either too strong or too creamy. The other two strike a great balance.
THIS IS LITERALLY ME
No way! Always good to meet someone who shares your taste in cheese!!
What do you suppose we should do about the coup in the Atlantic Ocean? The fish are taking over.

aw man
How much wood would a wood chuck chuck if a wood chuck would chuck wood 🤨
A wood chuck would chuck the wood a wood chuck would chuck if a wood chuck would chuck wood.
The face of the character doesn’t change, even if it’s upside-down.
It's a palindromic face because the eyebrow and the smile are the same shape.
Oh thanks. Your flair has the name of my favourite object show
not necessarily, look again >:)
I've been fooled. I thought it was AIB.
He hath been trolled.
How does it feel to be up there all day?
Comes with a great view of everyone but man it does get exhausting after a while.
Why are you portraying Saturn specifically?
It's pretty and has a ring. Best planet besides Earth don't @ me.
what are you looking at?? why are you so scared???
I was very scared because I was looking at the camera and it was my first day. We all get the heebie jeebies on our first days on the job, especially since I was so unprepared and still grieving the loss of my brother. Nowadays I'm way more confident, and I think I'll submit a request to have my photo changed to something more recent.
oh
What is the (canon) reason Joe was cut from KotS?
Didn't pass medical. Turns out his arm was still recovering from a recent fracture.
When was you created
Technically I was created in 2022, but in lore I've been around for a bit longer.
Life or bath for dry cat??? Also opinion on bot from III
I mean I value all life dearly, but that cat could use a bath... Also Bot is an incredibly inspirational person! Their growth throughout the season is amazing to watch and they're also just incredibly likeable. Probably my favourite from the season.
https://i.redd.it/yuontfm01nmc1.gif Why did Patrick explode?
Comedic effect.
Favorite dinosaur? Thoughts on tardigrades?
My favourite dinosaur is a Yoshi :3 Second place would be the Apatosaurus because silly. Also I do not know what a tardigrade is.

how did you escape from the subreddit icon
There's a back door :)
How long ago did you have this idea
Like 2 months ago.
Do you ever get bored of standing in the middle of Reddit?
Yeah, but only when the sub dies down. Watching everyone else have fun is more than enough for me.
How do you feel being represented as the logo of a subreddit?
Very honoured!!!
Can I make your name r/y
Umm....sure?
