Hey guys, I've been thinking a lot about symbolism lately, and in particular, I've been thinking about all the different kinds of bugs in the world. I was wondering - is there a particular insect that you guys would associate with Quad and/or Zephyr? (Kind of like how Pega's deer are associated with dragonflies)

I'd list a few of my personal favorite insects, but I don't want you guys to think it should be limited to that. Also please post a picture of the insect you think would be associated.

Here's Quad and Zephyr's pics in case you need them:

Quad -



Suggestions:

Moonsorro, Squeegie, Pegasicorn, and Celticmystress say a daddy longlegs


Fledermaus, Fenqua, and Snowrift say a stag beetle


Zerg says a Goliath Beetle


Laruna says a Scarab or a rhinoceros beetle




Zephyr -



Squeegie says a Cecropia Moth


Celticmystress, Fenqua, and Snowrift say a Luna Moth


Zerg says a Katydid


Laruna says a Firefly/Lightning Bug


I appreciate any ideas

LOOKING INSIDE

[=10]Taliene Phoebus is best known as a motherly and calm deer. She enjoys company, but often is reluctant to seek it out for fear of rejection. One might describe her as insecure, forever afraid that she is being lied to, or merely tolerated.
She is a selfish creature. For all her patience, her tolerance, and her understanding, Taliene will cling to emotions and other people until she is forced to let go. She wishes to be happy. That is not to say that she does not want others to be happy - but she would rather feel joy for herself.
Admittedly, the doe has become a rather bitter creature. Once naive and trusting, she has developed into an almost paranoid creature.

I woke knowing this day would... not be a good day...
I wandered, hither about...
...so alone...




I found Miss Cirrus, laying in a bright patch of goldenrod... Slumbering so peacefully, warmed by the sun...



I wondered if I could approach her, a friend... but... I was afraid... Why?... Afraid of a friend?...
...ridiculous...it hadn't been like this before... before I saw the- nevermind...
Yes, I was alone.

I ran about madly, trying to shake off this good-for-nothing feeling, but alas...



...tears ran down my face...



Good-for-nothing. Yes, I.

See how I am alone. See how no familiar faces greet me, warm me, comfort me... make me smile, make me laugh...

Smiling, laughing?... It all seems so far away, now... All that's left are dusty memories...

Memories... Memories! Smiles, nuzzles! Dancing and leaping, frolicking in the grass! Bright lights, happy sounds, soft voices, gentle touches!...
...fading...



I wandered aimlessly... no destination, no purpose...
...a hermit... a waif, a flicker of mist...
There was no Riptail today, sitting by his tree...



I found a sleeping stag, laden with candles, in the long grass...



Seeking something, anything, I approached. Perhaps I could lay quietly beside the stag, and have what warmth he could give...
He shuddered and woke. I fled.

Ellah's doe-day! I'm not sure exactly when it'll happen but it's almost here!

She will be wearing the set Lacey gave her when she left. The brown pelt with gold stipes, real deer mask, and noh antlers.

Yay! xD

EDIT 8th August: Okay, editing this because I don't want to overflow my blog.
There I am again. I was having a stressing time the last weeks so I just didn't have the chance to tell anyone.
But seems I'm kinda back now. My birthday was on the 14th July. I don't think anyone noticed. I already got that wonderful sketch by Misako and she says she's working on the coloring, so much thanks to her! <33
So, I missed you guys and I hope I will be able to handle things well so I can finally make my new deersie (who has to be a grown-up now as far as I know!) "official" and stuff.
See you around!

Old:

...God, I'm making too many "Sorry for my abscence" posts. >8/ Sorry guys.
Anyway, there's a lot of things happening to me IRL... Which is making me not being able to be on a PC very often. My family is going through a hard phase at the moment... It's very personal but... Ah no worries, let's just say it doesn't let me come often. I'm so sorry!

But hey, I've decided to join the game Impressive Title too. :3 I've seen many of you who are against this game, but also some who like it and even came from there! But I swear I'd never leave or even be less online in TEF because of that. x]
Just the next time will be very stressing for me, but I apologize...

But today looks good for me, I'll be on later in TEF and IT.
And yes, I'm still having big plans for the story for my Shawnee deer. ;D

See you around!

De(a)r CJ, you are now a fawn.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I woke up again today and was ready to play in the forest. I began by running to the two mystic rocks. I gave them my respect, and began to glow. I still don't understand life and this place yet, but these special rocks are always there for me. I feel safe there, like I'm doing something right.

I then started to run. Aside from the rocks, running is another thing I know I am doing right. At least, I think it's right. It feels good to run, and the faster the scenery around me changes, the happier I feel. To me, this is becoming even more fun than dancing, and dancing was the first thing I truely enjoyed.

I met some other fawn by the pond today. I greeted them carefully. The deer I met the other day did nothing, I felt so wrong. I hoped this group would interact with me. I quietly sniffed each one, and gave them a bow of respect. They only stood still and looked at me with quiet blinking eyes.

Perhaps I was being too careful today? I made a noise to call to them, but still there was no reply. I even danced in front of them, hoping they would join in. Still nothing.

I noticed that some of the fawn were laying down to nap. If it was a quiet time, I would join them. I found a nearby spot in the sun to rest. But even after sleep, they still had no response. I felt unwelcome, so I left them to their... standing.

I started to run again, but was distracted by a circle of mushrooms in a ray of sunshine. It seemed almost like a stage. I felt called to dance there, and so I did. I danced until I noticed a squirrel with a halo similar to mine.

I sniffed the squirrel. I looked curiously at it, hoping for an explination, but it was as unresponsive as the fawn. I suddenly found the situation silly, and rolled on the forest floor in laughter.
