This Is Interesting. I'm Cis And I've Definitely Imagined Myself In Multiple Ways. Like I See Myself

This is interesting. I'm cis and I've definitely imagined myself in multiple ways. Like I see myself as who I am. Sometimes I see myself in a more openly queer way (cause rn I'm in the closet to most people irl). Sometimes I see myself in a specific persona of "Bubo" (it's a nickname my bf calls me irl), which while close to myself, feels slightly different. And I've just viewed myself as a concept. What does it mean to be [insert my name here]?

When you picture yourself in your mind, do you imagine yourself precisely how you look in real life, or do you see something else (an alter ego, a person who looks differently, another being, etc.)? When you're visualizing from the first person's pov, whose hands are you seeing? If you have aphantasia, consider "seeing" as a metaphor for the way you think of the concept of yourself.

The main options (we put them here due to the character limit):

🪞: I only imagine myself the way I look like irl.

🪆: I imagine someone/something that represents me.

✨️: I imagine myself in multiple ways: the way I am, as another being, as an abstract concept, you name it.

Happy Hall Between! Minerva is a cat and Bubo decided to go as Riven! (shhhh don't tell Aunor about her costume. Plus Ikora already knows about Bubo's costume and doesn't care Bubo is a wish dragon. Ikora knows the difference between actual wish dragon magic and guardians having fun).

I love how this piece turned out! It's dumb and fun and it gives such Festival of Shenanigans the Lost vibes!

It is really sad hearing about the layoffs over at Bungie. Good luck to all of the amazing people who were let go and have made Destiny a great game over all these years! Hopefully you find new work quickly.
