btw, there's a huge and very old dragon that lives in Puget Sound :)
@starkatt The fault-line one or the water one?
@indi the water one I think :)
@starkatt *nodnods* The surest I am about very big spirits-of-land are watersheds and faultlines. Both feel very serpentine to me.
@literorrery I could try and introduce you to the watershed-serpent for our branch of Thornton Creek. I've talked to them several times.
@indi @literorrery *curious earperk on all this*
@literorrery @indi @starkatt o.=.o!!!!!
@starkatt @indi @literorrery Now that I think about it... I'm like 90% sure there's a dragon somewhere in Mt. Rainier national park.
@mawr @starkatt @indi @literorrery Ohhhh, Rainier (which used to be called Tacoma) has all /sorts/ of interesting myths around it.
Maybe not as many as Mt Shasta in CA, but quite a few.
@starkatt Ooooh now I'm very curious; what book?
@indi "a key, an egg, an unfortunate remark"
It's about a elderly pacifist Seattle witch who gets into trouble.
@starkatt Oh yes thank you! That's been on my list to read for a while, I... really should. ^.^
@starkatt I feel like I should also tag on here for folks who are not familiar with my general situation (and in re @LottieVixen@dev.glitch.social response):
My desires for surgery definitely didn't come from a transfeminine place, because I'm not, so I can't really discuss it in terms of gender experience (at least not in a way I expect to make sense to most folks) :) So, other folks' mileage may definitely vary a lot.
I read this in a novel and it was so immediately and obviously correct.
