This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?

3) No spam

Please do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.

Just remember to tag posts with either a content warning or a [NSFW] tag. Overtly sexual posts are not allowed, please direct them to either [email protected] or [email protected]. NSFW comments should be restricted to posts tagged [NSFW].

5) This is not a support community.

It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions. If you have any questions regarding the site itself or would like to report a community, please direct them to Lemmy.world Support or email [email protected]. For other questions check our partnered communities list, or use the search function.

I feel like the one I would choose Xolotl. I am someone with has made few friends but who stands up for them all and who has been durable in doing so, and to this end have found myself opposing newly appointed leadership almost to the death.

Ilmarinen.

People occasionally describe someone as "being in their element" - my element is wind, absolutely.

I was originally thinking of going with Zephyrus or Boreas but, much like all Greek Gods, they're both far too rapey for my liking.

Cassandra from Greek mythology. Successful/artistic but also regrettably stigmatized/unlucky supposedly due to my past and the people I'm exposed to every day.

The Greek god Hermes.
