Having a daemon is so fun sometimes. Splash and I have been going through a period of pseudo-inactivity and not talking/projecting a whole bunch, but last night he was heckling my choice of tupperware to put the leftover brussels sprouts in (i picked a tall thin one) and he decided to express this by just chanting “TUBE OF SPROUTS! SPROUT TUBE! TUBE FULL OF SPROUTS!” on repeat and I just love that about him hhsdjkfh

Can you believe some people don't have daemons. They're just out there rawdogging consciousness.

I only have two sorta settled forms at the moment.

For analytic we’re settled as a Darwin’s fox, and Ash and I are super happy with that! It really feels good and we like it a lot. But it isn’t 100% accurate to my personality, and I haven’t done an RA before. So I guess that could change?

Then for Pullman/Symbolic (I’m not entirely sure of the difference) we recently settled as a Northern Mockingbird! Really happy about that too! It fits basically perfectly.

Ash likes to switch back and forth between these forms and we’re happy with them!

He also still likes to try other forms for fun or for comfort.

With so many different form finding systems, it totally makes sense that some folks would have a different "settled" form in each type and that has me curious.

Personally I really only engage with analytic form finding and struggle with them. Although I do have a few forms I like that are somewhere in a personal comfort-symbolic nebulous area. (Some sort of coyote/wolfdog/coywolf vibe idk)

For those who feel like sharing, I'm interested in hearing about your multiple forms. Are they similar? Are they different? Do you have a preference to any specific system/type (Analytic, Symbolic, Pullman, Aspirational, Comfort, etc etc etc. )

Ash and I had a great Easter today! We had an egg hunt with our family, which was a lot of fun! Ash was a little Darwin’s fox running around in the yard and picking up colorful Easter eggs.

Then we had a nice dinner, took a nap, and finished up some schoolwork before the deadline.

Ash’s voice always seems to be the clearest/he’s the most talkative when I’m really happy or when I’m hurting, which makes sense!

Anyway, we had a very happy Easter and hope everyone else did too! 💖

Ash and I had a great day today! We slept in, then went to the Easter night service at church with our family. Then we went to a fun restaurant by the water and I got a veggie burger and pretzel sticks~ Now I’m working on school, and Ash is a little kestrel on my desk next to me! He’s been a kestrel all day, perched on the back of the seat in front of me at church and sitting on the table at dinner. c:

Went out and got some things done today! Ash has been a violet-backed starling. It was fun to have him perched next to me, or flying through the aisles of the grocery store! While we were cooking dinner, he used his beak to grab some mini bow tie pasta out of the pot. c:

Winding down and about to go to bed~ Ash is hanging out as a peacock right now, after we were thinking about them on our walk. He was a Darwin’s fox all of earlier today. c:

Ash has really been digging the Darwin’s fox form! I definitely feel comfortable with this form~ He also turned into a brown boobook earlier!
