I rememeber having an affinity with snakes when I was younger. I now kind of shudder to think of the wird kinship I felt with them...almost like that of a familliar spirit...but to this day I am obsessed with serpantine(?) imagery. I think this has something to do with a general aethetic preference for the mysterious, fantastical, and slightly dark...a prediliction that pervaded my artistic taste as a child and to a lesser degree to this day. I know, this seems really random and you probably all think I'm on crack, but I was wondering whether or not any INTP's shared a fascination with serpents or at least the darkly mysterious generally.
Affinity with Snakes?

I actually can speak parseltongue. It's more of a curse than a gift, you know, with everybody thinking that I'm a death eater and all.
Depends. What kind of dragon?

Not entirely. I like the idea of dragons, though.

Sharks do fascinate me. Both terrifying and wonderful at the same time.
The ones that most everyone thinks of when they are told to imagine a dragon. Red ones. Which fly and belch fire. (as opposed to the various lizards and other cold blooded crits that have dragon in their name)
Actually, I have this theory that dragons are more than supposed myths, and I was just talking about this with someone the other day.

I remember when i was younger at around age 2 or 3, one of them, i use to play with those small snakes, and really just use my imagination and think. I dont remember what i thought about but i know i use to just study them, also praying mantis. I remember grabbing grasshoppers and putting them in a red ant pile, and watch the ants pile up on it and eat it.
I use to be a weird kid when i was lonely. Some claim I still am lol.

Snakes? Specific snakes, yes, but otherwise don't care for 'em much. But cats, on the other hand...
................:sad:
Yeah, I love cats too.:happy: A lot of people think they're unfriendly, but I seem to have a way of charming them. It's an INTP stereotype, isn't it? Maybe the're attracted to our calmness????
I love snakes 
When I was little I caught one and put it in tank. I then caught a frog and put it in with the snake for it to eat...my mom came over right when the snake had grabbed the frog and had it half way into it's mouth. She loves frogs so she felt bad and pulled the frog out of the snakes mouth while I screamed in the backround "No!!! Don't do that! It's his food!!" lol...it was pretty tramatizing for me :crazy:

I find them truly fascinating on every level and I continuously find myself drawing them. I especially find Dragons interesting, as a young child I drew them every single day. My parents always pushed me to draw something happier but, that's what made me happy.
That's what kept my artistic motivation, and I always feel inspired when I find a picture of them.
