Amg, you keep swapping names!!!

The Artist Formerly Known As Tymbal ;)

Yes. I only did it once, though, in recent years. I decided to re-embrace the connection I have had to wolves since I was a child. ;)

Watch me back?

Answering the questions cuz I already did the meme and I'm not doing it again!

1. If you could give up one of your most valued talents for anything in the world, what would you give it up for?
Ooooh. Do I get to choose the talent? There's not much I wouldn't do or give up to transform everyone into the shape their soul says they're meant to be (yes, especially me! And you.) I'd probably give up my ability to draw for that. Any other talents? I don't know if anyone'd want 'em. And...I'd kinda be getting a few, or access to a few in the trade-off! I'd be a stickler on the deal, tho!

2. How did you decide on your fursona?
Decide nothing! Figure out what the hell I am, everything!

3. If you had not found furry, what do you think would have happened differently in your life?
I'd probably still poke around the Otherkin community to fill the gap, or maybe just other art comunities. Not much in my habits would change, but I'd definitely feel even more cut adrift and lost then I already do, I'd I'd never have found any of my current friends. I dunno how it would go apart from that. Too many differences to be sure.

4. If you got a tattoo, what would it be of? (If you already have a tattoo or tattoos, then say what they are.)
I have a tattoo! (I really do want more, though) It's my hedgehog self with unicorn horn and tail. OH CHAOS, WHAT COULD THAT REPRESENT? I'm not sure what I want to get for tattoos besides. I've definitely thought of doing something for each of my forms, but I'm not sure. Pretty much, I haven't put much thought into it, since I don't think it'd be a good idea to rock the boat with my parents more than I have to. Hmm...I'm way too nervous over stuff like that. Of course, I also don't wanna be a hobo until after I graduate school, so...

5. Of all the situations that you are comfortable sharing, what is the most difficult situation you have experienced?
Um, does several years solid of being suicidal count? Cuz definitely that.

6. Do you experience "species dysphoria"?
ALL THE FUCKING TIME.

7. Suppose you had a child, and you wanted to name them a particular name very badly, but that name could easily be made fun of by other children. Would you still give your child that name?
Depends on the name, but probably not. The kid's sanity goes way above my preferences. Besides, /my/ favorite name for them can always be a nickname. And hell, I'd probably work out a deal with the kid that we could legally change their name to something they choose when they reach a certain age, like 15, or 18 or something, anyway. I'm kinda weird with names. They're important, but more important they reflect who you are. Eh, probably a Mobian sensibility. Said Sonic the Hedgehog, friend of Knuckles the Echidna, Mighty the Armadillo, Espio the Chameleon, and others. My favorite name's Bean the Dynamite, I'm just not very good friends with him!

8. If you couldn't be your fursona, what animal would you be instead?
*snerk!* You mean if I couldn't be a hedgehog, alicorn, roadrunner, riolu/lucario, eastern dragon, or toon fox, or any other true form I've managed to pick up? (And yes, they're all true forms.) I won't count unicorn or pegasus. Probably a horse/pony or a coyote.

9. If you were a famous musician, would you rather...?
A. Make the most beautiful and catchy music
B. Make the most beautiful and catchy lyrics
A, the music one. I could always hire a poet for good lyrics, but the music's the part I'd really value being able to make. Maybe because as it stands I'd have an easier time writing lyrics, so I don't value skill as much as the one I don't have, but still, the music, definitely.

10. What's the meaning of life? ;)
Fun! Yes, that's actually my serious answer to this! What else would it be? Playing is the only behavior pretty much all species share that's not directly related to staying alive or propagating. If you're expending all that effort to stay alive, and the only thing you're doing besides is playing, having fun, and developing relationships, that's gotta be the reason to be alive! (I may've come to this conclusion in a real bad bout of depression.)

1. If you could give up one of your most valued talents for anything in the world, what would you give it up for?

Ummm... I don't know. Another valued talent that's better and more useful than the first one? >.>'

2. How did you decide on your fursona?

Went with my kintype. XP

3. If you had not found furry, what do you think would have happened differently in your life?

I wouldn't have met all the other awesome furry people. :/

4. If you got a tattoo, what would it be of? (If you already have a tattoo or tattoos, then say what they are.)

I was thinking of getting a cutie mark tattoo... is that weird? >.>'

5. Of all the situations that you are comfortable sharing, what is the most difficult situation you have experienced?

Dealing with panic disorder off medication. That was absolutely horrible. :(

6. Do you experience "species dysphoria"?

A little, here and there. Not to any life altering extents, but it happens on occasion.

7. Suppose you had a child, and you wanted to name them a particular name very badly, but that name could easily be made fun of by other children. Would you still give your child that name?

I'd probably try to find another unique name that wasn't as easy to make fun of. I wouldn't make my child live with something like that, especially since they'd have no say in the matter.

8. If you couldn't be your fursona, what animal would you be instead?

A cat, maybe? Or perhaps an owl.

9. If you were a famous musician, would you rather...?

A. Make the most beautiful and catchy music

B. Make the most beautiful and catchy lyrics

I guess the most beautiful catchy music. You can have good lyrics, but if the music is off, it's gonna be distracting and it'll make it harder for people to like what you make.

10. What's the meaning of life? ;)

Fork.
