Can it be? Have we finally arrived at Friday? Is the weekend at hand? This week has felt both very short and very long. Which I am absolutely blaming on the fact that it's the Week of the Killer Quizzes. Because why not?

Are you taking your son to get ice cream on this hot almost-summer day, Sev? I believe he just finished school for the year, so a celebration is in order. Let's get through these quizzes and then you are free to revel in frozen freedom! ::uses parchments as a trumpet:: Doo-doo-do-doooooooo!

The Overgrown Maze you're an enigma. you're verdant, growing with strange and bright things, blossoming in hidden corners and baffling others. people are drawn to you, even when they don't understand you.

Which Element of the Enchanted Garden Are You?

Yeah, I am! ...I mean, maybe not an enigma, but definitely growing with strange and bright things that blossom in hidden corners and sometimes baffle people. Also, mazes feel very homelike to me. The way you're close to nature but still in a space that's cultivated, where you can move around and explore but stay in more or less the same place or find privacy without being far away from others. They're also indicative, to me, of the liminal spaces between one decision, one path, and the next. Which is why I love Hecate, goddess of the crossroads, and why on a goddess application in one of those stamping communities I used to belong to, I chose a maze as my temple/sacred space.

Impressionism radiant and bright is how you see yourself, you like the feeling of the sun shining down on you in a cold morning almost as much as you like being the center of attention, as much as you try to disguise it. you love colour and that shows when it's time to be seen, whether it's through your own self or your work. it's hard for you to keep a consistent style of anything since you're too filled with curiosity and a hunger towards new things. life has taught you not to be afraid of being loud and being seen. you like people, that's a fact. you thrive in groups where everyone speaks their minds and can hold conversations, you like making your opinions known to others, and often try to impose them as you tend to think you're the one who's right. that, however, doesn't stop you from learning and hearing other points of view, but you don't love critiques. you don't mind speaking up in class, probably sitting in one of the first rows, not next to a window as that will make you drift off and start paying too much attention to the details that make up the outside world. you pay details most of your attention, as it's the tiny things that make up the bigger picture, and that is only one of the ways your curiosity shows, always trying to learn why and how things work the way they do. you like an active life and love discovering new places or revisiting your favorite ones, that doesn't make you any less homesick though. there's a big chance you've grown surrounded by nature and feel out of place if you stay away from it for too long.

What Art Style Are You?

There is a lot in this result that's off-base: generally speaking, I have structured my life in order to avoid being the center of attention or even noticed. Back of the room seating, quiet voice, only speaking up when I cannot bear to keep my thoughts to myself. I also find people fascinating more than I "like" them. But some of this feels very true. I do express myself with vivid colors. I do enjoy and thrive in groups where everyone speaks their minds, and while I fight this conviction, I can tend to think my opinion is the most correct. I do enjoy learning and hearing other points-of-view, venturing to new places, and exercising my curiosity in every way I can. I also love nature, and sunlight, and feel disconnected when away from it. I'm more of a big picture person than a details person, but sometimes I appreciate details all the more because I don't always notice them. And, yes, I do see myself as a bright and radiant person. (Can I be a John Singer Sargent's Impressionism, though? I love that guy.)

The Poppy Fairy a dreamer, an idealist; you care intensely about your community, but still feel lonely and isolated more often than not. you are intrinsically artistic and, when words fail to communicate your tangled feelings, you'll turn to your ability to create wondrous things. maybe they can bring you closer to the company of like-minded people you crave.

What Flower Fairy Are You?

Rose Red and I used to pore over our Cecily Mary Barker fairy books, trying to decide which one we wanted to be. (We fought over Heliotrope a lot.) When I was older, I used Harebell—the Bluebell of Scotland!—as part of my email address, but I never really thought about Poppy. It's one of the official flowers for my birth month, and I love to look at it, especially in dense fields of bright, waving color. And then there's this description, which is very true, though since words *are* my means of artistic expression, they never really fail me. Sometimes I just have to write them instead of speak them.
