Today is the day that means something only to me.
I've had an awful time of it since July, so forgive a lack of story this year, there's just been no spark in me. But, yes, tonight's outcome - which, he's a gator - is mine.
I requested that he grow on the anniversary of Steve Irwin's death as a nod to a root of what has made me today. Animals and conservation - if it isn't obvious - has been incredibly important to me, and he's part of what helped that grow.
I chose an alligator for a couple of reasons. I saw a bunch in Texas, and thought it'd be a neat experiment to make one for CS. I also watched a video of Robert Irwin feeding the gators, and he mentioned that his dad described them as "frogs with teeth" so long as they're well-fed. His eyes are a stark red, not because of any hint of evil, but that's quite literally the color that they glow in the dark. He also has a little bit of "swamp stink", which... In my story, he protects the bogs from contamination or development. That's his camouflage, but it gets perceived the wrong way.
He also... Doesn't really have a name this year. I wasn't creative enough to come up with one, I'm sorry. Maybe you guys can name him?
