anyone else feel like a fraud drawing sleeping people because you know in your heart that you almost NEVER sleep in the position that looks most aesthetically pleasing?

How many language do you know? Er, are any speak or read only, and which ones are both?

I know Russian, English and Japanese on a comfortable enough level to be able to communicate in them in everyday life regardless of circumstance - written, spoken, etc.

I took some German in high school and university, and I can understand most of it, although I no longer have the ability to speak it reliably. 

Someday, I want to properly take ASL classes, instead of learning it on and off in my spare time. 

Someday....

Did you learn English or Japanese first?

I learned Russian first.

Horses are TERRIFYING

they ARE, THANK YOU

Wouldn't YOU be afraid standing next to a couch with anxiety that couldn't quite decide whether to take off at 30mph or kick you in the face?

There used to be an old tumblr post floating around that basically talked about how wonderful and comforting it is to hear someone use your name in conversation, and how it makes you feel so seen...

And although I respect that everyone has their own opinion, I cannot describe in words how viscerally I disagree and how much I experience the opposite.

 Someone uses my name to get my attention? Fine, fair play. But if we are talking one on one and you keep using my name in conversation? I need to be 4028320 feet away from you, because that ain’t necessary, and to me it is, in fact, a form of mental terrorism.

Do you feel comfortable sharing why you're afraid of rabbits if it's not just some phobia you don't have a reason for? Don't have to if you're not comfortable with it!

Oh, it's not a phobia or anything that serious. I just dislike their mouths. The way their teeth are... formatted.... troubles me. I like teeth in my animals, yes, but I like it when they all have a fair chance of piercing through my shoddy human skin all at once at a nice even distribution instead of going through a single spot in a single piercing stab.

Also, rabbits are not animals I can understand easily. I can't read their body language intuitively, unlike with dogs or cats, and I never quite know how to act in order not to spook them.

Do you like viscachas?

I'm actually low-key terrified of all rabbits and although I know the Viscachas are not actually rabbits I still think upon meeting one I would side eye it and keep myself at a safe distance.
