mythical creatures asks, all the ones you know have wings
Hey! Sorry for the delay in response, I just found your message today. And thank you for the ask: this was a lot of fun to reply to!
Griffin: how many books have you read this year?
I'm not sure. Probably around 10. I was a regular at the local library at the beginning of the year.
Sphinx: do you enjoy riddles and puzzles?
I love puzzles. I love Sudoku puzzles especially, but also jigsaw puzzles. Not big on riddles though.
Chimera: have/would you ever dye your hair? what colour?
I have! A few times. I was blonde for a while. Thinking of dyeing it green or blue in the near future.
Dragon: last thing that made you smile?
A buddie fanfiction on AO3, called The Ducking Of Evan Buckley by browney3dgirl6. It's adorable.
Phoenix: do you believe in life after death?
It would be nice. I don't. My mom does, she believes in reincarnation, but I'm a hardcore atheist. I believe after-death is just like before-birth: nothingness. It's kind of a scary thought, but it is what I believe. I'm genuinely jealous of believers, too. Faith seems comforting. But I can't force myself to believe something I don't.
Faerie: is keeping your personal space organised a priority for you?
Yes, absolutely. Even when it looks like a mess, everything has its place.
Harpy: do you enjoy playing sports?
I played football in high school for like a week. It was a fun way to get the energy and aggression out. The team didn't go forward cause we didn't have enough players and I never tried again.
Pegasus: ever had a recurring dream?
Oh, a bunch. I have this recurring nightmare where i'm back in high school but as myself - like as an adult. I have a recurring nightmare that i'm back at my aunt's house, and another where she finds me and is in my house. Those usually end violently. When i was a teenager, at the height of my psychosis, I had recurring dreams where I was visited by Freddie Krueger (who I believed was my father), and my "guardian demon" (I also believed I was the heir to the throne of hell and the antichrist. Psychosis is fun, isn't it?). When I was a kid I had recurring nightmares about being murdered at school.
Again, thank you for this ask!
