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

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.

[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

[armcollector]

it's got a little puppy snout and it curls up around you for cuddles. dog.
and yeah i figured you'd get a kick out of being venomous but also you're pretty colorful in general

i mean i am also inseparable from canines so i feel like me and cullen already have a lot in common
also all dogs are good dogs dorian. all of them.

[armcollector]

hang on. i still need to educate you
a fursona is a humanoid animal persona that is frequently, but not always, totally a sex thing
you're welcome
i'm going back to yelling on mountaintops now

i mean merle is the owl of the group. i always thought of him as more of an alpaca though honestly
i do like turtle for you for real though. the shell thing is good, and tortoises give a feel of being really solid

[tevinteraltus]

And yet are capable of killing you while you sleep. Thoroughly adorable.
And rather apt.

[ He might actually mean that. ]

And yes, I am, and always perfectly coordinated.

Splendid.

[ That's all he needs is the guy he still has feelings for to start hanging out with the guy he never told about him. ]

Magnus, their entire country smells of dog. Cold and dog. That is Ferelden.

[armcollector]

not all of them!!!
some of them are pets who love their humans very much
which is also? just like dogs. dogs who can kill people also exist. QED.

dogs have a variety of smells. some are pleasant. have you ever smelled a freshly slept dog?

[tevinteraltus]

You're ruining their image. While that may be widely accepted, no one need speak on it.

[ And if we're still following the same analogy of my resembling a snake... ]

...I have not. I wager it's an acquired taste, and one for which I am not in the market.

[partiallysquirrelblood]

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

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. ]

Honey badger!!

Kinda obvious from the username huh.

[scholiast]

Thank you, Magnus. Once I figure out how to block people from messaging me on this thing you will be the first person that I block

Oh, true. That's fine though, because I think I like the turtle more
You don't have to leave out the fact that they're wrinkly. Contrary to popular thought I actually like having wrinkles, it's
Actually kind of nice to look more like my age. You know? It's hard to tell people you're secretly one-hundred and sixty when you look like a twenty-year-old, you have to go through the whole thing

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]

i speak the hard truths!!! snakes are limbless puppies!!!

it smells like some kind of arcane cheesy chip. like a forbidden snack. anyway its possible to bathe your dog so they dont smell bad
although they'll smell bad for a hot second because wet dogs have that certain something to them

[armcollector]

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

[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

[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

[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

[armcollector]

you would never block me. you love me.

i guess so...
i just like having my youthful vigor, it helps with the rushing in business
but yeah it does get kind of weird being like. hey i'm 132! no i'm not lying!
but humans don't really even get that old anyway

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.

2/2, after a moment

[happiertimes]

You've met an alien dog?

[honeybadgerer]

both. it's definitely both.
