1, 7, 16 for Elafi!

I'll let Elafi answer these questions:

1- First big aspiration (i.e. what did they want to be when they grew up?)

Elafi 🦌: That's a bit of a difficult question. Honestly, I've never really stopped to think about what I want to do. I never went to college, and even if I could, I don't think I’d know what to study. I like plants—Warrick has taught me how to take care of them—and working in a garden doesn’t sound bad at all. But if I had to think of something bigger, like a big dream… I’d like to do something to help chimera children, maybe create a home for them, help them get out of the difficult situations they're in, take care of others the way Warrick has taken care of me. Yes, I think I’d like that.

7- First time they took a risk, or the biggest risk they've ever taken

Elafi 🦌: I guess my life has been full of risks lately. Ever since I had to run away from my old home, it's like my whole world turned upside down. Maybe that’s been the biggest risk so far. I mean, I used to always stay at home, I never went out, and it's not like I really minded—I was with my parents. But now… The good thing is that I have people who make me feel much safer, and for whom I think it's worth taking those risks.

16- First thing they remembered feeling ashamed of

Elafi 🦌: Ashamed... Let me think... Maybe... Well, when I was really little, I remember asking my parents why I looked different from the other kids. They told me that I was just born this way and that there was nothing to be ashamed of. But then one day, I was watching a movie on TV—I don’t remember which one—but I do remember a scene where some kids were bullying the protagonist just because of his skin color. And I started wondering, Would other kids make fun of me too? Just because I have hooves, because my ears are different, or because I have a tail? I remember suddenly feeling really bad and anxious. It was like, for the first time, I realized that others might see me as a... freak. I felt horrible, I cried a lot. My parents later explained things to me, and that helped calm me down a bit. Now, it’s something I’ve learned to live with. In fact, I’m proud of who I am, and I wouldn’t change it.

idk how to explain to people that the reason i haven't been online much is because the school i go to has barely any signal and the home i live in currently also doesn't really have any good signal and there is/was a typhoon passing through the country so it made the signal problem worse, so the only time i could get signal was when i went out on the weekends, but there's been a shit ton of smog in my area recently, either from the abnormally active volcano nearby or from the horrible pollution, both of which render the air quality unhealthy, meaning i get sick more easily because i'm either inhaling sulfur dioxide from the ashfall OR i'm inhaling sulfur dioxide from the pollution, meaning i'm stuck inside my house with horrible signal for most of the day

and the typhoon that is/was passing through the country means that it's also been raining quite a bit recently, and rain + sulfur dioxide = acid rain, meaning i REALLY can't go outside, meaning no signal for me. ever.

also, even when i Can go outside, it's usually just to run errands. obviously it's not advised to go outside if it's not necessary, so i only ever go out when i need to do my groceries or something like that, which means the only time i can get signal is also the one and only time in the entire week when all i do for 2 hours is cross a bunch of streets, run down supermarket aisles, try not to let my wallet get stolen, and then walk back home. none of which are activities that i can do while also diverting part of my attention to scrolling or messaging on my phone

so yk like if i could explain all that in like 1 or 2 sentences that would be great. it's just that if i say "the whole goddamn country (including me) is in a crisis rn srry" and it hasn't reached world news yet, it almost sounds like a non-issue (or just a straight-up lie) if i use it as an excuse

I find it so funny, in light of TikTok’s imminent American demise, that even now they aren’t considering moving to tumblr. The last two social media refugee crises (Twitter -> X and whatever happened with Reddit) prompted a wave of wide-eyed new baffled tumblr users to flood this app and yet last I heard all of the tiktokers are flooding en-masse a Chinese social media app. That is entirely in Mandarin. Instead of moving to tumblr.
