This should totally be a meme.
Sep. 24th, 2010 03:43 amIf I were some sort of fantastical creature, based on my actual habits and the rhythms of my life, I think I would have to be undead. That would adequately symbolize my lack of connection to people and places in any sort of social emotional or professional context. If I had to be undead, I'd want to be a litch, that's sort of like a wizard, only it lives forever, right? But I'm sure no wizard or immortal. Those things don't have any sort of parallel I can draw in my life. I think I'd be the sort of ghastly corpse buried in an old poorly kept graveyard that incautious villagers could summon with some simple ritual like looking in a mirror and chanting my name and have me appear before them. I'd probably be bound to do whatever task they wanted, in some freakish and ghoulish way, all the while complaining about being raised and asking to be returned to the comfort with my grave (which isn't really that great) until they realize that everything they ask me to do is turned fowl by my unnatural presence. Maybe I could only be summoned for a night, finally moping off to my grave again when the sun came up. If you were a sort of creature from fantasy or folklore in a way that paralleled your life the way I think this sort of monster parallels being an agoraphobic what would you be? For all the furries I know I don't get the impression that I know a lot of people who would be dragons or wolves or those typical fierce and majestic creatures if they were judged this way.
