Weekend Entertainment

[themightyspazz]

First AHS shift starts in six hours. Wish me luck!

If someone wrote love poetry to or about your character, how would it read? (Either describe or - go ahead - give it a shot and write some poetry. It doesn't have to be good.)

Let's be honest, it's the weekend, nobody wants to write poetry. (Least of all that kind of poetry.)

If you had to characterize your pups as animals, which would you choose? If your pups had to characterize themselves as animals, would their choices be different from yours?

Oh I like this one and am glad I don't have to try and make poetry.

Jessica would be a spider monkey in my head but she'd likely think of herself more as a siamese cat.

Quinlan would be a pitbull cause they are a friendly and caring breed unless mistreated. I don't know Star Wars fauna well enough to venture what he would say, maybe a Krayt dragon since he sees himself as fierce and deadly.

Anton might sarcastically call himself a sheep since he blindly follows the Treaty and Gesar or a sheepdog for his feelings for humans and his role in protecting them, but I think he'd be more of an owl for his keen insight.

more later maybe.

Further thoughts...
Anton isn't an owl. I'd say he's more of a crow or magpie. Very smart, very curious and constantly getting in over his head. Seemingly harmless but very much not.

Mia would choose gorgon, in part because them being her favorite animal comes into play. The kind they have on Lunar that look like big round fish with three eyestalks, a big eye on their body, and each eye is also a mouth. There is some truth to that, as they're resilient and powerful. When I put her through the Critterz! plot, I picked an otter for her and I think it still fits.

Lohengrin probably thinks himself like a dog. Loyal, brave, and, though he might not admit it, a deep well of love. But, due to story motifs and the knowledge of how birds are good at fucking shit up, I tend to think of him as a swan. I might have to change my answer to his, though, as he makes a good case.

oh Lucas ahahahahahahahahahahaohmygoooooood *covers face in hands*

Well, there's the obvious. Amascut is very much like the pet cat that still goes out and kills small critters and brings you the heads, despite how well fed she is. Because she loves you and it's so wrong that you don't know how to hunt and kill your food. Sure, store bought food is yummy, but it is so wrong!

Of course she disagrees. She says she is human, and her name is Sarah Black. Or Keli Raven. Or Sumona. Or Jesmona. It depends on the time of day.

Humans are animals!

I could say that Fairy Fixit is like a moth. But that is more a physiological thing. I think hummingbird suits her better.

She just looks at me and asks, "What is a hummingbird?" She would probably say butterfly, depending on how high her self-esteem is that day.

Evil Chicken... uhhhh...

Autor doesn't think of himself as an animal at all--but would especially avoid cats, since everyone else assigns him as that.

I think of him as a yippy, arrogant little Chihuahua. Autor's able to bite, but it won't do any lasting damage. He'll bark at anyone he thinks won't bite him back, or if he's marginally protected. And while he's irritating and mocking to most, he's fiercely loyal otherwise.

[not_my_sandbox]

Scrolling past this answer my brain substituted 'Chihuahua' with 'Cthulhuahua'

Dammit, brain. Stoppit.

Natasha is a cat, and a Siberian one at that (big, solid, deceptively fluffy and adorable, talkative, bred to survive the cold). And she'd pretty much agree with that! She's a dog-person, but, yeah.

Cat.

I'm going with the animal I picked for Ellen's daemon, because I think she does strike me as a grasshopper mouse. Cute, small, easily underestimated, and then oh dear God what did it do to that scorpion, it just ripped a giant millipede in half, another mouse threatened its babies and the other mouse is now dead and quite possibly in multiple pieces.

Since Ellen does not know mice at all and has only limited exposure to animals I suspect she'd probably just look confused and indicate that maybe she was most like a dog or something.

At some point I decided that Will would be a red fox and I think that still suits him. He chose it for himself during a CubeFall too.

I think Charles would be an owl as he's patient, good at listening but you don't want to mess with him because he's seeing far more than you realize. He'd agree with that but would prefer to be a dog as people are more likely to pet them. I'm not certain of exactly what breed.

Moist is easy, he's a weasel and he doesn't like the question.

William is definitely a breed of dog, one of those herding dogs, still in puppy stage so kind of awkward.

Jane would be a cat, elegant, patient but with sharp claws. A tabby cat, nothing too fancy but still beautiful and commanding. Actually maybe a tortoiseshell who shifts on how you look at her.

Sameth is a tough one since its hard for me to pick something that immediately fits him.

Demeter, hm, its odd with her as she can transform herself into whatever she wants and she's more connected to plants than animals.

Tumnus would I think be a field mouse if he wasn't a Faun, as he's shy but he notices.

The Pirate King would be a loud hawk who swoops in and informs you that you're captured.

Most of mine I honestly go with whatever their daemon is, that's why I pick the daemon for them. Lois certainly (ocelot; generally speaking, despite the nickname 'Mad Dog' and liking dogs, she's too hissy to be anything but feline). Eriond... may need another one, every other God on Gara has an animal of some kind they associate with and I dunno if it should be a horse. (Horse.)

When Tavi is crowned he switches his given name, and the history books add Magnus to it. Gaius Tavarus Magnus - Lord Super-wolverine the Great.

Not kidding.

Given that he affirms the Canim description of him... basically everyone agrees on that.
