Red-Tailed Hawks are practically my area's signature. Look up into the sky and there's a good chance you'll see one, often close to my house. (They've even landed on one of the trees in my backyard, and we live in a suburban area!) Granted, we're one of the few urban areas that has a ton of patches of forest.

All I get is cardinals, a crap ton of squirrels, eagles, bats, and very rarely an owl.

That ain't anything to gloss over, son. Though Alaska has my personal favorite.

So... random trivia question. This One is worth... let's say a googol brownie points since it is a hard one.

Name five phobias I have given my characters over the course of my time on the site, along with who had said phobia.

I once saw a beaver crossing the street near my house... in the middle of a Chicago suburb. And no, I have absolutely no idea where the hell it came from or where the hell it was going.

I very occasionally see salmon when they migrate. Other than that, swans are probably the most interesting things in the English/Welsh borderlands.

I can't do specific names of phobias, but... Jessica was afraid of her reflection, Alexia was afraid of roaches, Morrigan was afraid of her...buzzer...?

Her... buzzer?

...oh, her intercom buzzer! Nah, she just hated it because it always startled her. But you got the other two right.

Phobias are hard to show without it feeling forced, but I actually include them in nearly every season to somebody. Alexia had one more fear besides roaches, Sunny had a phobia (one that she still has even after 25 years), Mikhail has a fear (even if he is now Gem's character, I gave him the phobia), and season three Ayame had two big phobias that factored heavily into her character development.

Aaaand I'm stupid.

(Rest in peace Taqukaq)
Smart enough to win a googol brownie points!

I also would have accepted Ayame's agraphobia (fear of sexual abuse), and a fear I sadly had very little chance to show off, Alexia's automatonophobia (fear of manikins, wax figures, dummies, and other inanimate objects that mimic life).

Your lucky she has never met Ezra, he would abuse the shit out of that XD
My sister actually has a version of that fear, pediophobia, or the fear of dolls, specifically China dolls. And I have a fear of clowns. So together... we're both afraid of China clowns.

(Not really, but you know what I mean)

And Morrigan has a phobia that someone she meets might be a fan of Darkstalkers.
