This is always a tricky thing to think about wrt Shin bc the only thing I'm certain of is it's small enough to hide in his scarf

i stand by what i said before

RINGNECK PARROT IS VERY GOOD

dffdfg this is now the assign shin a daemon plurk, bc i can see it being equally as much of an IC mystery

wait theres a daemons meme? hell yes omg

IKR it's always fun to think about it

hmm... can u remind me how old shin was when he met and started getting fucked with by midori...

he was seventeen

last year of high school :' )

okay so like, his daemon could have been a late bloomer re: settling and this is great because not only did shin alter himself to try and use midori's face as a shield BUT

B U T

mimicry is a common defense mechanism in the animal kingdom.

:eyes emoji: go on

with this in mind: kingsnake, which resembles the highly venomous coral snake. kingsnakes are actually incredibly harmless, even!

aside from, you know

constriction and stuff

but hey a sneks gotta eat

otherwise the kingsnake is notably curious and intelligent, if not a bit Hungy

thats my verdict.

a snake's gotta eat : D
i love that because it also fits in with the whole motif of the passed-on scarf

both wound around his neck...

marks of what happened

and also fits in with the seeking warmth thing, and shin's daemon being relatively inexpressive also kind of ties into that whole defense thing as well

god i love daemon aus so much

they're so good, phillip pullman was onto something

i'm in the research rabbit hole now

thinks about 3B

thinks about shin's shadow self strangling him
hm

chinhands

it's all coming together amazingly well you're fantastic at this amity

thank you!!! i really, really love this sort of thing ;w;

it shows hot damn
