The rhetorical situation here is so unclear, it is worth investigating:

Ethos: our only hope of attaching ethos outside of the vast and multitudinous variable meta-identity of the demographic who might be posting on /adv/ is the pic-potentially-related. Yours is from an anime I don't recognize, with a somewhat gender-ambiguous face, though it seems to me to read as primarily female. The expression of this face is determined, with a vaguely quixotic gaze that denotes self-confidence and optimism. S/he appears to have taken a bite of some pastry (is it a donut?), which, while mitigating her smirk as one of visceral olfactory pleasure as well as pluck and fortitude, also hearkens to the sense of girding up of one's loins, so to speak, for whatever impending conflict is looming in the horizon toward which h/er eyes are trained in the distance. The orange necklines suggests perhaps a jumpsuit apparel, bringing forth the possibility of their being in uniform, thus giving rise to (para/pan/future-militaristic organizations to which this character may belong, and which may add a literal sense to the conflict foreshadowed by h/er countenance.

Pathos: The diction of the statement "postgin in adv" concedes what must be an intentional misspelling of "posting" given reasonable standards of re-read time for the three-word-long post and the increased likelihood of catching such an error with repeated pre-post rereads, which for most who have attained the necessary literacy for posting on this forum in the first place, is an automatic function of the writing process.

Fuck; I forgot Logos:

This one's tough. What the fuck is the "message" of "postgin in adv"? Again, I feel like the misspelling is a move to establish ethos, and is an ironic act of authorial agency, but that's sort of not the logos. There is supposed to be a basic, logical message being communicated on a denotative level that "everyone" is supposed to get. Is it just an implied existential statement: "[I am] posting in adv?" I mean, paired with the failure to include slashes in /adv/, it almost becomes impossible to believe that the persona of the author isn't being established as an ironic metacritic of the entire medium of messageboards. I'm so curious how anyone could discern a baseline logos for this rhetorical message.

Could it also be "this picture portrays how I feel when posting on /adv/"...?

>>18726934
Yes - that's an excellent point!

But what is the expression? Is it like a "*this* time, it's gonna work!" thing?
