All right, it's share time. Here's some "get to know you" questions. Feel free to answer any or all. Then ask each other new ones you come up with.

1. Who is one person you admire from your world? Historical figure, celebrity, friend or relative - anyone. And why?

2. What's a fond childhood memory you have?

3. What's your hidden talent? The thing you're good at that others might not be aware of.

4. What animal would you be, and why?

Have fun!

Okay but which animal was your favorite to be?

[shiftedshape]

It's hard to beat being able to fly, so magpie is up there.
But I've probably spent more time as a snake.
They're quite good at getting into hard-to-reach places.

[dealwiththe]

Flying is really fun. I didn't have my wings for several years and sometimes I wonder how I did without.

So you like sneaking almost as much as you like flying. Fascinating. I don't see myself as very snake-like, despite the whole "serpent in the Garden" thing.

[shiftedshape]

So that was just a story, then?
And honestly, the two things are very similar, if your end goal is getting places you couldn't otherwise.

[dealwiththe]

Oh, there was a garden, and I was definitely in it. I've just never been a literal snake. The writers of that story let the metaphors get away from them.

Flying is a lot of things - sometimes it's just fun.

[shiftedshape]

That's a shame. Being a snake is quite freeing.

So long as you don't start falling, yes. Or crashing.

[dealwiththe]

I've rarely felt particularly constrained as myself, but I fully support whatever others find freeing.

But I definitely have fallen. So to speak. A learning experience, if nothing else.

Cw: indirect reference to suicide

[Loki can't possibly relate less to complete security in one's identity, but he sure can envy it.]

As have I.
It's much easier when you have wings to try and right yourself.

[Assuming you have the desire to.]

[dealwiththe]

Depends on your relationship to the wings.

[shiftedshape]

And to falling.
