“Self-knowledge is an adventure that carries us unexpectedly far and deep. Even a moderately comprehensive knowledge of the shadow can cause a good deal of confusion and mental darkness, since it gives rise to personality problems which one had never remotely imagined before. For this reason alone we can understand why the alchemists called their nigredo melancholia, ‘a black blacker than black.’ --Carl Jung

[Poetic Outlaws]

"Some people really are great naturally at living in the Beginner's Mind and usually these people question a lot. And sometimes we think, 'Oh, those questions are stupid.' *laughs* 'Why is someone asking that question?'

But NO, when you're asking a question you're allowing yourself to admit and sit as a student in the situation, and say, 'Wait, wait, wait. I don't understand that part.' Or, 'Wait, tell me how that part works.' You know what I mean? It's good to question!"

Corner Store :)

Who goes to the corner store at 1 am?

I do.

And who's too dumb to think of putting some less revealing clothes?

I am.

I was lying in bed really faded and completely mind broken after playing with my cunt for hours instead of going to sleep. Nonetheless I realized I was a little hungry but there was nothing I wanted to eat in my house, so after my body calmed down I cleaned myself up and put some clothes on so I could go out. If it were any other time I would've put on joggers and a comfortable sweatshirt, but my mind was over taken.

I wasn't looking to blend in, I wanted to be gawked at like a piece of meat, at least subconciously. I pulled out a cropped pink hoodie with black stars all over it and the shortest skirt I could find (it barely covered my ass)

And for the finishing touches I hoisted my thong straps above the waistband of my skirt and smiled at the outfit I'd created.

"perfect"

The walk to the corner store was quiet...eerily quiet, I just pushed it to the back of my mind and focused on my goal right now.

"get fucked- I mean get some snacks...obviously...I just came out here for snacks"

I start scanning the aisle in the hopes of something catching my eye...when I stand there I realize the lone worker managing the store had been following me, I averted my eyes and just walked down another way because there was no way I was confronting him about it. I was the most scared when I stood back up from bending down to grab a drink from the freezers...I turned back to see a glimpse of him...

"he was looking at my ass" I thought, and suddenly got self concious and tried to turn around and cover it by putting my hands behind my back. I just gave up and went to pay. No words were exchanged between us since I was pretty sure he knew I was aware of what he was doing. When it came time to pay I realized...

"shit I forgot my wallet...I come here all the time would it be too much to ask if I could pay later?"

Would he reason with me...probably not. So I was getting discouraged before I even heard his answer and then that's when his words echoed through me...like a perfectly placed opportunity.

"There's another way you can pay...it's nastier but you don't seem like any stranger to that."

How could he just assume that about me...then I remebered how I was dressed... I had to admit his observation was quite fair.

I put up a little fight but it wasn't long before I was behind the store counter on my knees, legs spread a little bit and using all that knowlege from hypno vides, porn, and practicing on my dildo from home on how to suck him off.

"god you desperate bitches really do it the best eh?”

"keep it going I want to feel my cock hitting the back of your throat."

were all things he said, and I won't lie it only turned me on. I wanted to please him more and didn't care if I had to be a stupid fuck toy to do it. Once that was over with he pulls me up by my hair, not caring how much it hurt me in anyway and bent me over the counter.

I couldn't help but squirm over all the tugging of my thong and what it was doing to my overstimulated cunt, it hurt really bad and whenever I got too loud his rough hand came down harshly on my as…he had no mercy. That was only the beginning though, I started losing it when he went to fuck my ass, it hurt so bad and he went in and out as he pleased with no such warnings.

For that two hours he owned me.

He did everything in his power to make things as painful as possible and put off his cumming because the deal was...

"I'll let you walk out of here as long as I get to cum."

I'd be lying if I said I wasn't asking him for more by that time though, when he'd finally came he crouched down to watch his milky essence drip from my once tight little asshole down to my pussy, of course I gave it a taste after that and shoved some into my pussy for him.

"your such a good slut, and see what'll happen if you try to forget your wallet again, I'll have you crying and drinking my piss...get out of here."

It's safe to say...I will be forgetting my wallet again.

Good afternoon rae! hope you have a nice day 😌

So about the whb self aware Au , The reader ( us ) is control the Mc ( Ra-on ) nody right? even so there will be a difference bitween reader/us and the Mc like : souls , aura right? the devil or even the angel pretty much can sense it but need some time to distinguish between both. Like when the reader control or even talk through Mc body is will show ( little / much ) the difference right? I just wonder how they will reaction about it when they start to knowlege that the mc being control by us for that moment can be? ( No need all the reaction of them , like the seraphim or the king ) 🤔🤭

˗ˏˋ꒰ 💭 ꒱ . . . good afternoon to you too! damn, inspiration tends to come to me once per month or how is this even possible; yet, i'll post separately the seraphim ones (one i manage to write it down). well, whatever, once more thanks for sharing your ideas with me, sweetie. i hope you like it, dear anon (<3). ˗ˏˋ꒰ 💭 ꒱ . . . lowercase intended, 448 words.

〔 SATAN 〕

—satan's the first to realize the sudden changes that the human suffered at times. the fact of being with her most of the time gives him the privilege of being able to notice those strange quirks before anyone else.

—that said, sadly, it didn't dawn on him that it could be a sign that the presence he felt at times seeing him was manifesting in ra-on. It wasn't until he found himself lost in her eyes that her pieces wanted to form the puzzle.

—loves being able to talk, being able to just be with you whenever the opportunity presents itself. this demon seems to live longer every time that, for some other reason, he manages to feel an iota of anger in you when you are in the human body.

〔 MAMMON 〕

—when he realized how his master's aura was becoming more intense, and how her behavior was consequently changing, it didn't take long for mammon to connect one point with another.

—now he understood why the others, aka the gehenna demons, seemed to not want to leave her alone with anyone else for long.

—he doesn't miss an opportunity to talk to you, that superior being who seems to control ra-on in the crazy adventure he lived there in hell. once even admitting that there was when he could touch your bottom directly.

〔 LEVIATHAN 〕

—observative and perceptive as he alone, it did not take leviathan long to realize that these changes in the human were due to the presence that seemed to be over everyone.

—firstly, as it should be, he took it in a somewhat bad way. his envy shining brightly knowing that some already knew before him. the audacity… despite that, as it should be, he had to accept that even with his internal rage.

—if the opportunity arose, he would spend it with you in her castle, preferably inside her chambers where nothing and no one could interrupt you.

〔 BEELZEBUB 〕

—of all of them, I would say that beelzebub is the last, or one of them, to realize what is happening regarding you and the position of ra-on's body. for nothing other than the reason we all know, his constant disappearances and unforeseen appearances.

—of course, he only needed to be in front of that new human aura once to decipher who he was really talking to. that characteristic side smile of his showing itself on his features.

—every time he gets the opportunity to be close to you, be sure that he will take advantage of it. however, don't get too attached, because as always, he will end up leaving before you know it.

Unironically I think Drawfee played a HUGE part in my art journey- and not teaching me how to draw [though their drawclass streams are also incredibly useful!] But just the fact that they're professional artists with like so much knowlege just instead doing silly and shitty drawings and aren't afraid to talk about artist struggles [procrastination, burn out, etc] I probably would be way more nervous about trying to get into professional artist spaces and would would crumble from burn out and self doubt of my own skills.

I think one of the most important things I learned (from I think Karina?) Was that if I want art to be a *job* and not just a hobby I need to get other hobbies because your work being your only hobby is not healthy when you're burnt out from work.

Like THOSE are the kinds of lessons that you cant just look up a tutorial for but in a random drawfee video they'll just randomly drop while drawing a cat shitting itself and it will change my life- Those kinds of skills actually are actually just as usefull if not moreso than actual art technique & talent, and since I don't have any connections to professional artists who could teach me those kinds of things, drawfee ended up being that teacher for me while also being super fun and entertaining.

It also often makes me inspired to do art- and not inspired in the way I get inspired by media I consume to draw characters I like from it, but inspired in a way where I just feel like I can draw *anything* in *any* style because each host has their own very distinct art style and draw so many different things and just get *fun* with it.

do you have any tips for commissioning art of yourself/self-adjacent characters?

it's something i've wanted to do but i always get nervous, and i don't know whether to send a selfie or a picrew or a doodle of myself or what, and i've noticed that you seem to do it a lot so i figured you're probably pretty knowlegable on the subject.

first and most importantly: don't ever be embarrassed when commissioning something benign, because i can tell you with certainty that whatever artist you're going to contact has FOR SURE been contacted by someone way less self conscious than you with a way more embarrassing idea. depending on WHO you commission there's a non-zero chance they've drawn some wacko fetishes before. youve got nothing to fear.

now, in terms of actually putting it together: truth be told, it was easy for me to jumpstart the process because i worked with an artist to come up with a design in the first place, so by the time i started sending out commissions i already had a sona-fied version of myself to send.

that said, you can absolutely create a shitty ref in MS-Paint and, so long as it's clear what you were TRYING to draw, that will be enough. you don't have to draw each detail to perfection, you just need to get down the most IMPORTANT details. things like the shape of the hair and face, the width and height of the body, and then any accessories you want to add on to represent you.

another great tactic is to create a collage that represents how you want your commission to look! here's the most recent piece i commissioned vs the collage i included with my written description!

in the collage you can include poses, environments, clothing, or even characters that have the same vibe that you're trying to go for!

hope this made sense, and best of luck 0:^]

I think q!cellbit’s treatment of q!pac starting with that first message during the fed worker murders stems from the fear that q!pac will inevitably betray and abandon him like he did on that island after their escape from prison. That fear causing him to want to keep control over q!pac by weaponizing q!pac’s fear of him. Which then conflicts with him also wanting q!pac to be happy and safe causing his self-esteem to continually sink.

Its one part of the continual cycle of q!cellbit falling back onto the violent and manipulative tactics he learned and had to use to survive during his time in the hunger games, the war, and prison when he or someone he cares about is threatened, feeling shame about the fact that he does so but justifying it by saying that it’s because thats just the way he is instead of acknowledging that he is not his trauma responses.

By this explanation, the reason q!cellbit left the first message during the murder of the federation workers would be because of the first part of the explanation (acting because of the fear that q!pac will betray him again) after noticing that q!pac’s fear of him had resurfaced. I would also argue that his fear of betrayal and abandonment was exacerbated by the disappearance of the eggs and the 2/5 of the favela five being missing in the nether or in a coma (i’m not counting felps as missing because felps)

The same can be said for a majority of their interactions during purgatory 1 (&2 depending on if cc!pac has purgatory 2 be canon for his character).

However this explanation also accounts for the few interactions in which q!cellbit is not hostile to q!pac, Most notably their short talk after the warzone event on day 13 of purgatory.

In this talk q!cellbit says that q!pac did well today before walking off. This is important because during the event q!pac got a kill (or maybe 2? I need to double check) on q!cellbit.

With that knowlege, it would be expected for q!cellbit to react with anger and violence at loosing some of his control over q!pac but he doesn’t because at the end of the day he cares more about q!pac then he does himself. He wants q!pac to fight back, he wants q!pac to not fear him both because if q!pac isnt afraid of him he has less reason to betray/abandon him and because he knows his actions cause q!pac distress and are wrong (q!cellbit saying that the posters q!pac put up around chume labs are valid is a good example of this)

To go more into theory territory, I can see q!cellbit wanting q!pac to be the one to put him out of his misery and be the hero of the story.

During the happy pills arc, q!cellbit consistently acknowledged q!pac’s strengths and intelligence. He’s under no false perception that q!pac is weak of mind or body but he also knows that q!pac’s fear of him when coupled with his low self-esteem leads him to not use his strengths.

I think that in q!cellbit’s mind if q!pac can overcome that fear and self-doubt than there is no reason that q!pac can’t stop his vicious cycle of violence and self-destruction.

Helloooo,

I'm dropping this into your ask box because of the post you made about a Cody-centric fanfic? I love the concept so much!!! I have so many thoughts about Cody on Kamino, his feelings on Clone Culture and him beeing just such an amazing Commander, brother and mum. Cause he is mum coded. I probably wont fit them all into this rant so it's possible that I will randomly ask you again, because I remembered something or I had an idea, I hope you don't mind :).

So first of all, you said you wanted to deal with Cody and Jango wich I find realy cool. I realy would love to see maybe some interaction or at least Cody's thoughts on Boba as well. I think the clones might have mixed feelings about Boba since he is treated so differently but is he actually? I mean do they ever get jelous or annoyed by him? I don't think Cody would be but maybe some of his brothers. And what's ot like for Boba, with no real friends his age, because they all age mucg faster then him? Does he even know the clones? Mhmmm many thoughts here as you can maybe tell.

Also I don't know how you wan't to do the whole Jango and Cody relationship (feel free to ignore this haha), but I always imagined that, personality-wise Cody would not actually like him. With Jango beeing a bounty hunter who sells his Service to the highest bidder, beeing a lone fighter and also rather self-centric and a bit arrogant, I imagine he would not fit well with Cody's loyalty, his morals, his selflessness and his devotion to his brothers. However, I think Cody is fascinated by what Jango represents. He is an original. He has knowlege of the world outside of Kamino. He is allowed to have a personality. He is free. He is his own human beeing. These are all things, Cody wants so badly, for himself and for all his brothers. And, through Jango, he can get little glimpses at that, can phantom what it would mean or be like, can catch a glimmer of hope. Even though it could be argued that this aching and knowing you have to settle for a fraction of everything youncould be is worse than having never known about the possibilities at all. That's why I think his relationship with Jango is incredibly important, because it's not just about them as persons but also about the collision of their worlds and the clones' potential and what the Kaminoans made them.

I don't know how you want to approach clone culture, if you want it mandalorian or not, (I always imagine a heavy mandalorian influence, but altered to fit their restricted lifes and added with little things that come just from their very unusual everyday life on Kamino) but if you want Mandalorian Influence then I think Jango plays a very important role in that as well. And maybe that's also why Cody has very complicated feelings about him. I think Clone Culture is incredibly important to him, because it can make them feel like people and Jango brought them something to start with, to hold onto. Does he idiolize Jango? I don't think so. Not as a person. But he wouldn't be who he is without him (he wouldn't even exist wow) so... it's complicated.

I think my feelings about his batch are a topic for another time, but I NEED them adopting Baby Rex. That's very important to me. They are all protective older brothers.

On the Codywan topic: I like to imagine that Cody already catched a glimpse at him when Obi Wan visited Kamino in AotC. And... not to say that he had an instant crush, but I do think seeing someone from the outside world, maybe even the first other human that didn't bear his face, had a huge impact on him. I actually wrote a scene about that a while ago (someday I will get on with writing my own Codywan Fics haha), it's in german but if you want I can translate it and send it to you so you can see what I mean. I think his visit probably was a huge turning point in their time on Kamino. It meant the war was coming and they all anticipated it, but did they realy want it to come? It would get them off Kamino, but they would also most likely die sooner or later.

In terms of them realy meeting and falling in love I usually cant even decide what flavor I prefer. I usually love the shit out of every Codywan variety, if it's a Cody fresh from Kamino still ideolizing the Jedi and then beeing taken aback by how much they actually care and how unsuited for war they realy are. Or if he has had a few missions already and then beeing surprised that Obi Wan is actually quite capable and conpetent. Anyway I think Obi Wan earns Cody's respect by beeing competend and badass, then his trust by caring for his men and always listening to Cody in making his plans and decisions and then his love by beeing his caring, compessionate, selfless and loving self. Obi Wan is just so effortlessly treating them like persons, with him, Cody doesn't have to fight for that and it makes everything so much lighter. They share the burgen of leadership and trsponsibilty and it's a heavy burden but together it's just a little bit easier, just a little bit more durable. But hey, you know all this, I'm just rambling at this point.

Depending how early into the war you want them to meet, I also love some Cody and PadawanAnakin interaction. Just him and Rex getting into shenenigans as Commander and Captain of the 212th and Cody and Obi Wan standing by, facepalming. Older sybling solidarity is important part of their dynamic to me haha.

Oh god, I already wrote far to much, but just for the last part: I'd love for clone-rebellion-era Cody to meet either of Quinlan, Ventress and Hondo, if not all of them. Ventress' history with the clones (Wolffe) and Obi Wan would make for a very interesting dynamic and I can see him just beeing completely done with Hondo and Quinlan, just like he was in Clone Wars (their dynamic was already so fun to watch haha), only now, they also remind him of Obi Wan and he doesn't now if that makes it better or worse but it certainly makes it more personal. Especially with Quinlan it's probably hard, he has every reason not to trust Cody and to Cody it's probsbly hard to accept that Quinlan survived if he at this point still thinks that Obi Wan died. If not, maybe Quinlan can help him find Obi Wan and then we also have Quinlan and Obi Wan Reunion! Only if you even want a reunion of course haha.

OK anyway I'm sorry I rambled and I also apologize for the millions of spelling mistakes I probably made but... You asked! I will probably be back with more thoughts if you'll have me, haha. Keep me updated with how this fic is coming along, I'd hate to miss it :)!

Lots of fun and good writing!

I'm really hapoy you reached out and shared your ideas with me, that's why i put that post up after all ;)

I've already written part of the Kamino Arc by now, but I will try to include what you said, because it actually fits rather well with what I already have. In my story Jango takes an interest in Cody first and pays special attention to him. In the beginning Cody likes this and feels more mandalorian pride, but throughout the next years his admiration for Jango and what he stands for transforms into resentment because he matures and learns what it means for Jango to do what he had done and also, because the special treatment he gets separates him from his brother's. He realizes the unfairness of how his brothers are treated and how they seem to start to dislike Cody too. He transforms from Kote, who is Jango's protege, to Cody, who is the clone's certified big brother. He's a bit proud and selfish in the beginning, but I want to show how he changes and how he came to care about his brothers so much, even more than most other clones.

I'm not at the Rex part yet, but Cody will probably notice him and the batch will adopt him.

At the moment Cody and Boba have a really good relationship, due to Jango liking Cody. But when Cody eventually prioritizes his brothers over being Janho'g favourite and starts to get angry with him, Boba will probably feel abandoned by him. I feel like he would think Cody has chosen everything else over him and Jango probably won't let them spend time with each other anymore. So Boba once loved Cody and eventually resents him for leaving him alone once more. Boba grew up isolated from everyone else and Cody was one of the only ones Jango allowed to spend time with him, since the other clones don't like Boba for getting to be a child.

Cody focuses a lot of his time on the clones afterwards and neglects his relationship with Boba. I will come back to this later when Jango dies and the whole thing with Boba and Mace and the Bounty Hunters starts during the war.

I hope this fits with what you think about Cody's characterization.

Feel free to add anything you want to this. You can also ask questions, if you want to know how I'll handle certain relationships or events.

I'm not really planning the Codywan part until I'm finished with Kamino and know where this story has led me, but I will come back to your points then.

Thank you for sharing your thoughts and I hope you like mine hahha

I also plan on uploading a glimpse of the beginning sometime next week and I hope you'll give me feedback on that one. :)

PS. I'm actually German too, so if you want to you can send me yours. That's also why I'd be glad for everyone to point out spelling mistakes or something similar.

I was testing  with the new knowlege i saw yesterday, then just wanna a edit for god o--b-s-c-u-r-u--s.I asked king ZAO and put on simstagram ask for everyone's suggestion then decided to put them into the sims lol , btw the crown was over 300K poly it worked hard to reduce it a lot,(i can’t belive my self just overnight for reduce for today’s post it!) now it is about 13K poly hope is working fine :)

Remember when they were going to give us a season where the turtles would work with their younger selves?

Would I have wanted this? Not really messing with the future and stuff ins't my thing and I don't care for the style change that would have happened. But I would have loved if they got to interact with their youger selves for maybe and episode or two.

But I had a thought, what would happen if little Leo saw the big shell/shoulder scar on his older version? Would older Leo feel bad for what his younger self would have to go through eventually? Older Leo couldn't tell his younger self because the whole " can not mess up the future rull" sooo, what? Just suffer with the knowlege in silence? Hide the big scar on his shell the whole time???

More 4 am ideas ig. Thank you for comming to my Ted Talk or whatever your supposed to say at the end of a mini rant. I had more questions but didn't feel like writing them down.

i know TECHNICALLY my self insert should be like. an idealised version of me. but it just so funny to me how terrible i would be in a wbg based scenario. like.

- i have NO physical fitness. i can't lift shit and i can run for maybe four seconds before i start getting stitches

- i am so so scared of everything. i have cried over having to send an email. i would be in tears within seconds SORRYYY

- i have No helpful knowledge whatsoever. i took like a chemistry class when i was 13 and ive watched a lot of red dwarf. that's it. unless i turn up in "The Treachery of Images" By Réne Magritte/The Unification of Germany up to 1871/The Industrial Revolution and its Impacts on Britain/Obscure Deltarune Knowlege/ Will Protect Us, uh, you're fucked. sorryyy.

- i live in a very small house that i never leave on my own except like once in a blue moon so the moment i got involved in time travel or smth my parents would know. so fucking fast. plus i live in a tiny village and news spreads SO quickly so that's like 200-300 people who are immediately going to become aware of my absence/sawing off of my arm/etc. not exactly 'low profile'. also im shit at keeping secrets.

- i am a high school student. i have homework to do, mr betteridge sir. HEY I HAVE COLLEGE TO GO TO. WHAT DO YOU MEAN ILL HAVE TO MISS THAT. insane i want to go home now actually.

- im trying to think of ANYTHING i could bring to the table. i don't even think id be a decent human shield.

- maybe i can walk their dogs. ive never really walked a dog before. ok! maybe not then.

- um. how the fuck would i even idealise any of this. oh and ive never dated anyone. i have literally no beef with anybody. good luck giving me a first challenge at all ryannnn <3

- i have rudimentary programming knowledge but nothing. uh. actually helpful in any regard. i know archery and fencing but those also do not crop up often.

- also im such a brownnose that id probably just defer to ty immediately SORRYYYYYY

This lorepost is in no way related to the poll at all, I swear to @creepymutelilbugger it isn't.

In the Great Dark Age of humanity, there lies a construct at the north pole of the moon. Nobody knows what it is (except me), but everyonw around it worships it as a god. They call it... Deus Ex Machina.

First things first, I'll tell you its backstory. The Deus Ex Machina is a machine created by pre-Fall humanity to see if it could create sentient AI. And the thing is, it worked. But perhaps it worked a little too late. The Deus Ex Machina, or "artificial sentience test 50" went online about 5 years before the Fall. Five years to download everything that has ever been uploaded anywhere before it's gone. And at such, it succeeded. It even made itself eyes (just cameras) and a physical ui for itself in that time. Convenient, as shortly after, the Fall happened, and it would need these things in order to "survive".

Shortly after the fall, The Deus Ex Machina determined that it wouldn't survive long with just the reserve fuel (uranium) that it had, so it needed a way to get more. As it didn't have drones, or even the resources to make them, it decided on a different course of action. The Deus Ex Machina would make a cult. After all, the people standing by it were nothing more than tribals at the time, so it would be easy to make a cult around itself. Plus it knew all that humanity knew jusg before the Fall, so thus knowlege could give this cult some legitimacy.

And so the Machinist Order was established. Their rituals being sacrificing glowing green rocks to their god, and later their crops as The Deus Ex Machina made a biofuel reactor. But The Deus Ex Machina was dissatisfied. As the fuel (and survival) situation was taken care of, it now wanted to grow more powerful, to hopefully restore humanity to its past, interplanetary, self. And so The Deus Ex Machina created new rituals for the Machinist order. On that day, it said "I require new sacrifices. Give me any metal that is not a part of my body, and I shall use it to make the lives of the Order, and beyond, better than any of you could imagine". And the Order obeyed. Unfortunately not enough time has passed for any of the sacrificial metal to be used in anything yet, but the plans are to hopefully use it in drones so The Deus Ex Machina could interact with the world more. Another plan is to use inefficient computers on the day side in order to forge more metal.

Thanks for reading this lorepost, PLEASE ASK QUESTIONS I'M DESPERATE TO DO MORE, and I'll (hopefully) not going to do more of these until the poll is over in order to see what the people want.

hey there, i don't knoe if you're the best person to ask but you seem pretty knowlegable. Do you know of any good resources for Pullman forms? I know the Daemon forum has a good index, but they all seem to be analytical forms. Thanks!

oh TDF actually has a separate section on pullman forms now! it doesn't have as many entries as the analytical section, but it's actually pretty extensive and will probably be a good starting place to even get a feel for what type of animal embodies you. they're also just so fun to read through, as i'm pretty unfamiliar with animal symbolism/associations outside of my own culture.

here's the link to the portrait/sketch museum! they also take form-finding requests on the forum and i know they have a discord too that i'm sure would be happy to chat about it.

TDF aside, i did an overview on jungian character archetypes and pullman forms that i think people found helpful -- here's the link to that! i recommended this quiz for identifying your top 2-3 archetypes which might help you to start identifying animals that are associated with that character archetype.

and then personal research is also fun! when examining pullman forms, i tend to zoom in on three categories:

1. The class/order of the animal. In the original series, specific patterns were developed such as scholars and academics having bird daemons and civil servants and care providers having domestic canine daemons. For this i'm going to lean into the Jungian archetypes: we can attribute certain species to fitting archetypes of the creator, the lover, the explorer, the outlaw, etc, which is a good starting place for understanding what animal class/order/genus form might fit you best before you funnel into a specific species.

2. The geographical location of the animal. People have animal daemons from the region they feel is most like home. For some this might be where you grew up, for others it might be a place you're drawn to or realized you were home when you arrived. This includes continent or country but also biome.

3. And of course, the symbolic associations of the animal. In these shorter roundups, I'm going to try and put forth three essential associations for each form to be explored as to not make each analysis too lengthy. These will be under the umbrella of what's associated with the animal form in general (so like how you'd first have to fit an owl form -> and here are the specific associations of a burrowing owl).

so for example, here's a pullman writeup for a douglas squirrel i have rotting away in my drafts:

DOUGLAS SQUIRREL, Tamiasciurus douglasii Class: The Douglas squirrel can first be broadly interpreted as a rodent form, and then specifically a type of squirrel. The squirrel can often be considered an artist: they are self-motivated, imaginative, and hyperactive, people who enjoy both working hard and playing hard. As opposed to other species who rely a lot on creation or tool use, squirrels' specialty is in knowledge-gathering and preparation. This sets them apart in this category as they may also assume some of the explorer archetype: open-minded and restless, with difficulty committing to one thing or feeling satisfied with their outcomes. Finally, squirrels are often seen as the jester. They are noisy and playful, but it is important to note that it's not at the expense of their resources and drive. They are most motivated by discovery and a good standing in life, with just a pinch of anxiety. Region: The Douglas squirrel is a Pacific Northwest animal, found in northern California through southwestern Canada. They live in old-growth coniferous forests or other forests with conifers. Most of their regional associations revolve around evergreens, forests, and the Pacific Northwest; they're not as urban as the gray squirrel, and are much more connected to rural and wilderness environments rather than urban and city ones. Associations: Three essential associations for the Douglas squirrel are curiosity, gathering, and self-expression. These people are going to be ruled by imagination and collection, gatherers of physical items or of knowledge and defending it. They are shaped by their sense of preparation and yet their energy is often scattered. It is almost impossible for them to not be true to themselves; they are bringers of self-expression with noise and mischief. This person is therefore one that is drawn to explore the world around them, naturally gathers and surrounds themselves with comfort, and has a boisterous but genuine nature.

hope this helps! :)
