extremely scientific poll for everyone: what animal do you relate to/think you embody the most and why? it can be exactly as deep or exactly as stupid as you want it to be.

extra poll for people who know me (hi, i'm magnus): am i more of a dog (best boy) or a bear (strong boy)

these are serious questions and they're extremely important to the future, choose wisely

You're one of those dogs that looks like a bear, the uh, very big ones. A Newfoundland, perhaps

I am... a turtle. Because of the shell. And the wrinkles.

[armcollector]

you're more than your wrinkles luce!!!!!!

but that is a really good diagnosis of my animal self, i'm definitely taking notes for my fursona
actually have you seen tibetan mastiffs? they're HUGE and they're like sun bears basically


the boys are back in town

[scholiast]

I don't know what a fursona is. This isn't a question, just a fact, and I don't need to be educated. But yes, that's essentially you. They're even yelling like you do

And the turtle thing was a joke, but they're actually quite wise, right? I think I'd make a good turtle actually

or an owl maybe??? What say you

I'm not certain, really. I've never really given it much thought. I've always been rather fond of snakes.

And you most certainly a dog, but not a slobbering mabari. A stalwart hunting hound.

[armcollector]

snakes are like limbless dogs
i agree with this wholeheartedly. you are basically a slippery dog.
a really colorful one.

also i am PRETTY good at slobbering, but i'm also really good at hunting so i'll accept this.
i don't know what a mabari is though!! is that some kind of alien dog i've never heard of?

[tevinteraltus]

How is a snake like a limbless dog? I'm genuinely curious. Though by your assessment, I'm also exceedingly venomous, and I rather like that.

I don't seem to recall any slobber, but I'll thank you to spare me the details.

And yes, it's an "alien dog you've never heard of" but you really aren't missing much. Ask Cullen about them. He's Ferelden. They're inseparable from their canines.

Hi Magnus, I'm Doreen. And it's definitely squirrels. Which comes from being part-squirrel and being able to talk to squirrels.

[armcollector]

holy shit i wish i was part squirrel right now
are you serious or are you taking me for a ride because i absolutely need to befriend someone who's part squirrel and speaks squirrel

[partiallysquirrelblood]

I am absolutely serious. I don't joke about squirrels, dude.

I mean, I'm not known as the ice tiger of Russia for nothing. Fierce, determined and driven. Lots of teeth and claws; I won't take shit from anyone. Ever.

[ And yet Otabek still teases him that he's a kitten. ]

[armcollector]

pretty intense.
tigers also? have those big paws
my dream is to touch a tiger paw and live

[bespredel]

I mean-

[ Here, he switches to video. Filling the screen with the face of an adolescent white tiger, lanky and not as filled out as he will be (eventually. Maybe.) ]

The bit about touching a tiger paw could probably be arranged. [ He gives the closest version to a grin as he can manage as a, you know, tiger. Before letting his form shift back to his usual, becoming a shit eating teenager as the fur bleeds away into his skin once more. ]

Honey badger!!

Kinda obvious from the username huh.

[armcollector]

what specifically draws you to honey badgers?
is it because they're small and cute or is it the carnage potential with those claws

[honeybadgerer]

both. it's definitely both.

I believe that being a dog would be better than being a bear. Dogs are loyal and smart companions.

And as for Dorian's explanation for mabari, it is far from acceptable. Mabari are dogs that were bred originally by his countrymen to assist mages. They're noble, intelligent, fierce, loyal and kind. And stubborn. They are extremely important to the people of Ferelden, it's true, because the Maker's Prophet had one while She was alive and fighting for her cause. Therefore, I would probably be a Mabari and I'm sure that my extremely Tevene friend would agree.

[armcollector]

oh shit i guess you're cullen
hi, i'm magnus!

dogs are the favorite but i have a special kinship with bears
i trained under a bear once. bears are great.

but yeah those dogs sound awesome. i wonder if there are any here
my dream to pet an alien dog... i mean it's already been fulfilled i guess but i still want to do it again

1/2

[happiertimes]

Yes, that would be my personal name. I hear that you are friends with both Dorian and Iona. I suppose it is beyond time that I make your acquaintance as well.

Training with bears and you've lived to tell the tale.... I see that you've never seen a bear from my country. They are..... difficult.

No, there are no Mabari here, much to my disappointment. Should one appear, I will make sure to introduce you to it.

[illusionistic]

I would say a snake, but that is too easy, considering I am one, no? Perhaps a lion then...they are supposedly strong, powerful, and assertive, yes?

[ It fits him, even if he's unsure about the lack of scaly bits. ]

[armcollector]

all these people who are part time animals are cheating at my poll!!!
maybe you can be a chimera, they are like lions with snakes for tails
i mean you'd also have to deal with the goat body but goats are pretty good too?

[devilstongue]

Everyone I know would say peacock. I'm kind of into it.

[armcollector]

peacocks are cool
super pretty looking, very into the self love thing
i dig it!
is that what you relate to about peacocks, or is it anything else?

I'm always compared to a bear at home. I suppose it's how I sleep.

A serpent.
