What would this do?
I know the micro::bit block looks like this:

and it can have an image in it.
But, you can see through hacked blocks, that it actually converts the image to 0's and 1's.

I don't see how it could report an image, like said in this quote:

Your profile picture, reported as an image (costumes and backdrops are also images)

This would need a whole new block type though as there's no block that has an output of an image.

Even if it could report an image, what would it be used for. The only thing I can see is something like this:

draw (profile picture :: sensing) :: pen

which wouldn't work with some, such as GIFS. Also, it wouldn't work with costumes because they are already made, and you can't edit them through the code.

Reporter blocks can only hold LETTERS and NUMBERS. They cannot hold pictures. HOWEVER, it may be possible to have a block:

Add & Switch Costume to [user's v] profile picture

Semi-Support, leaning towards no support for this exact block. I like the concept, though.

That seems like a very weird block, and it would break the long established rule that Scratch projects cannot alter their own source code. I think that's a bad idea.

That wouldn't ever work, ever. A block to set profile pictures? Scratch would be chaos! People like griffpatch would constantly be weird, wacky, inappropriate images.

ik thats prob not how it works but i have no idea how. somebody explain this to me

I don't disagree with you, just did not quite understand what block was being proposed here and I tried to guess (epic fail).

Since this has more posts, I think it should be merged.

Everything on a computer is letters and numbers.

The two topics implement this feature in different ways though - the suggestion you linked suggests to be able to switch the costume of a sprite or the backdrop to be the user's profile picture, while this suggestion is asking for

which is really weird

Sorry, if we can't have blocks that return lists or functions (which isn't necessarily a bad thing), I see no reason why we should have a block that returns an image. Plus..

((profile picture :: sensing) + (username)) // what the heck does this do?

Or we can change the block type like this

set profile picture to [...]

so r u saying ur allowing projects to change the players profile pic

What would that do?
