So... Does anyone want to bother the tell me what the deal is with these 'snowmen' things? They don't look like regular people at all. Or any animal I've ever seen for that matter. Or... anything. They don't like anything, but for some reason they're springing up everywhere. They're creepy, dammit.

They're not creepy. They're awesome.

[returninghope.livejournal.com]

Awesome? How so? They're just a bunch of snowballs piled on top of another with sticks jutting out. It's like someone buried a bush and put a face on it.

[boomchucka.livejournal.com]

Imagination. Use it!

[returninghope.livejournal.com]

... Their eyes look creepy and soulless. It's hard to imagine something great about that.

[boomchucka.livejournal.com]

They're a winter tradition!

[falenandawn]

... they're actually kind of fun to make.

[returninghope.livejournal.com]

It figures you would think so. What's so fun about making your fingers numb?

[falenandawn]

You don't like playing in the snow at all? [What.

Snow is so hard to come by in Falena unless you're in the north. Of course he likes it.]

[returninghope.livejournal.com]

That's not what I said. Snow is fine. I actually prefer the winter months over those of the summer. I just don't get theses things. What are they supposed to mean?

[falenandawn]

I don't think they mean anything in particular.....

I have seen people make sculptures out of snow that aren't snowmen, though. You could probably make anything really.

[seiriald]

... Snowmen are everywhere? [Have a blind girl who only has a vague idea of what the heck you're talking about, Zan'nen.]

[returninghope.livejournal.com]

Well... Not... Everywhere, exactly. Most places... A lot of...

There's a few okay? And I don't get the point.

[seiriald]

Well... It didn't snow where I lived as a really little kid a lot, so I don't know. [What is childhood.]

[returninghope.livejournal.com]

It didn't snow? So.. you've never had a snowball fight? [What. Snowball fights are a necessity.]

[seiriald]

... Gold was having one in the plaza a while back. [Meaning he and his little compañero very rudely threw a few at her.]

[folklorist]

They're a typical tradition for this time of year! Snowmen. They're rather fun to make actually! [ Helios is such a child. He likes making snow dragons though. Or snow mythica. ]

[returninghope.livejournal.com]

[Snow dragons? Now snow dragons are cool. Snow people not so much.]

So you've made a few too?

[folklorist]

Of course! I don't know if anyone hasn't back in my world. Ah, well, besides those who hardly get snowfall. [ And Helios sounds quite sad about that. How dreadful it must be. Then again some people didn't like it. ]

You can really make anything you like. Snowmen, snow animals it's just a bit fun during the season. My world even has competitions for it sometimes.

They're not that creepy.

Re: [Voice]

[returninghope.livejournal.com]

Yes they are. They have creepy, soulless rock eyes. How is that not creepy?

[Voice]

[lost-pig-boy.livejournal.com]

How's that any different from button eyes on a bear. Those are cute, aren't they? Same difference.

[Voice]

[returninghope.livejournal.com]

Bears at least look like something. These things? They don't.

[menial]

['Creepy? Only if you think of them as the hollowed-out husks of what used to be warmth and water, the source of all life... Or something.']

I think they're really just for fun.

[ voice ]

[repudiate]

Oh, yeah, snowmen sure are creepy. I'm sure they're actually trying to plot to take over the world or something like that.

[ all the deadpan and sarcasm all over this reply. ]

[godbent]

Creepy, really?
