Same reason not a lot of ours have kangaroos. Though the major ones do. So...I don't know? It might be because not a lot of ours do either. I only got to see my first one (a red wolf) a couple of years ago.

Probably. It probably takes quite a bit of time, effort and money to get wolves down to Australia from America.

Just had to pop in on this intriquing topic. I too, know why Australia's wildlife is so weird. But then I was always a grologu/paleontology geek. Biggest reason-plate tectonics and continental drift. . . .

Now we just need to find someone who doesn't know. Then we all ambush them.  |

Some of the animals in Australia are terrifying. ;-;
But even so, it's got a bunch of really cool landmarks. I've never been there myself, though.

I'll have to listen to it!
In other news, I started working on a humanised version of Return to Dust today. Against my better judgement, but whatever.[/font]

Hey guys. ^^'
I love wolves. It's actually the mascot for the college I'm at.
I found this song that's so gorgeous. Windswept by Crywolf. I love Crywolf. <3
I'm checking out that song, Mint! :'O

Oh my gosh that's an awesome song, Mint! It's a bit too bright and happy considering Curse's darker themes, but it does have some parallels. Plus it fits the humanized version nicely in the lyrics.

But I like bright and happy.  Cool, glad you like it!  I thought the lyrics fit, so that's why I suggested it. It kind of makes me want to do a Curse animation, which I may do someday. But I already have an animation I'm working on, so it will have to wait. |

Hi Shadow! That's so cool! I love how American colleges have mascots and stuff. We don't do that here  So much music to listen to! |

I wish I could do animation so bad! I have so many ideas for Curse animations. ;-; Like music videos/trailers and stuff.
Aw, that's sad, Dingo. You guys would have some really unique mascots over there. xD

We would! It would be awesome! We have these angry-looking lizards called Thorny Devils and it would be the greatest mascot ever.
I wish I could animate. I wanna make a Curse MAP ;-;

Well, if you guys don't mind anime style humans or the style of cats I usually do, then an animation is probably in the future. XD Here's a partially done animation. Which wont get finished as I had to change everything. But you get an idea of the humans I can draw:  (full credit to Arlo Crimson for her OC.) |

Thorny Devils are awesome. Are those the ones that bleed out of their eyes?
Eeek! Curse map! :'O
Whoa, that's awesome Mint! And I love anime styled humans. I watch anime anyways so I'm used to it. x'D
I can sketch decently, but when it comes to digital or animation I am a mess lol

 Behold the gloriously angry lizard! I don't think they can squirt blood out of their eyes, but they are covered in wicked spikes. I love them.
Yes! Curse MAP! I might storyboard one anyway... Have you heard the song 'Meet me in the Woods Tonight' by Lord Huron? Because that really fits Curse well. |

Shadz, I was listening to PVRIS's music, and I found these awesome songs that really fit in with Curse, specifically Shadowface herself. This is going to be kind of a long-ish post, so forgive me if it's lengthy.
Ghosts - I'm the one with the ghosts in my bed,
but they only come alive at night.
Stuck in my sheets an accustomed coffin,
I swear that I'll be fine,
I'll be fine in the daylight.
If I change and I start to fade,
And all the green in my eyes desaturate,
It's my head, not my heart, that's strayed.
I'm sorry I keep pushing you away.
• This song reminds me a bit of Eaglefrost/Shadowface's relationship.
Fire - You're out of line,
Buried yourself alive and expected to be fine.
You can't rewind,
When you're choking on your own dirt, begging for your life.
Your bridges are burning
And all the tables are turning
You started a fire, yeah, you're burning up
Oh, you're burning up
• This one is...pretty self-explanatory, haha. Shadowface could be talking to the cat who cursed her and her matriarchal generations?
Waking Up - Oh, I can't see
The whites are missing from my eyes
I can't breathe
I'm doing everything to bring this body back to life
I'm afraid of shutting down tonight
Yeah, I've got this feeling deep inside
No matter how hard I try
I don't think I will make it through the night
• Shadowface (possibly Shadowpaw here) is dreading herself not being able to hold the weight of her family's sudden deaths on her small shoulders. She can't fully understand her cursed powers and is trying hard to get a grip.
Let Them In - I wanna feel something
That's not the touch of your breath on my neck
I wanna feel something
That's not the weight of your world in my head
And all the walls are caving in
And I feel you entering
I shouldn't give in, but I'll let you win
I'll let you in
• Shadowface is tentative about letting others into her personal life, but she decides to take a chance and let them in - Rushstorm and/or Eaglefrost, to be exact.
Now, I'm just analyzing lyrics and characters, so don't mind me. Just thought that these were kind of cool to discuss. ^^;

Dingoleap Ahh he's so handsome! And those look very similar to the lizard with the bleeding eyes. I will have to look that up. I'm listening to that song right now. It's nice! mintedstar/fur I have watched/am watching: Naruto & Naruto Shippuden Bleach Sword Art Online Say I Love You Yona of the Dawn Snow White with the Red Hair The Ancient Magus's Bride Fate/Zero & Fate/Stay Night Wolf's Rain My Little Monster The Devil is a Part-Timer Blue Exorcist Fullmetal Alchemist & Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood The Knight in the Area Fairy Tail One Punch Man Brave 10 Attack on Titan Psycho Pass Kill La Kill Izetta: The Last Witch God Eater Inu x Boku Secret Service Dragon Crisis ( I think that covers the ones that I actually enjoyed/inspired me. ^^' ) I like fantasy elements with action and romance strung together but most anime's don't have all of it. It's mostly action + drama or romance + drama. Yona of the Dawn/Snow White/Sword Art Online/Brave 10 do have a little bit of everything though. That doesn't mean they are better than the rest though! If you want more info about any of these just ask. :'D

They are very handsome lizards. Depending on where they live, they come in heaps of different colours, to blend in. Sadly, they don't live in my states, but they live just about everywhere else. And then theres frill-necked lizards, which are terrifying. They can run on their back legs and its the weirdest thing ever O.o
It's a good song. Kinda haunting, but good. I storyboarded a MAP for one of my other projects to it, but I think t could fit Curse as well. I must learn to animate. I have so many ideas for MAP's/animations for my characters and stories.

Mᴏᴏɴ - - - No joke, almost all of those PVRIS songs are gonna be in my makeshift Curse soundtrack. I am deeply in love with PVRIS and her sound. It fits Curse so well. I'm the one with the ghosts in my bed,
but they only come alive at night.
Stuck in my sheets an accustomed coffin,
I swear that I'll be fine,
I'll be fine in the daylight. (This first stanza I feel speaks to Shadowface's struggles mentally. Remember that as an apprentice and even as a warrior she has nightmares about her ancestors. Wolfheart also usually visited her at night when she dreamed. Daylight was truly her escape from that torture, but then she has to deal with keeping this all hidden from her loved ones, so in other ways the struggle never ended. I also want to bring up the line: "Stuck in my sheets an accustomed coffin". Not until later does she discover that she very well is destined to die. Every night those thoughts go through her head as we can imagine.)If I change and I start to fade,
And all the green in my eyes desaturate,
It's my head, not my heart, that's strayed.
I'm sorry I keep pushing you away.(This stanza really speaks to Shadowface's fears and regrets. She's afraid of changing into this uncontrollable monster that might just mean her doom. Not for just herself but for others around her too. She regrets pushing people away, but knows in her heart, not her head, that it's for their own good.)For "Fire" by PVRIS, if you read the entirety of the lyrics, it's kind of a generalization of the frustration of the ones who cared most for Shadowface and others of her family. Don't blame your death
On the shit in your head that you claimed ate you like a virus for days on end.
I watched you decay,
Watched you waste away.
Who'd you think you'd fool, baby, digging your own grave?
What you give is what you get.
And in your case that's nothing but guilt and regret.
And all the flames you kept in your brain,
Came out your lips and sent you straight into your own grave.
You were a walking, talking, corpse at best.
And I swear I couldn't wait to get you off my chest,
And when you asked us why
We couldn't look you in your eyes,
It's hard to find life,
In something that's already died.(I also think this relates to how Eaglefrost saw Shadowface for a while, and maybe still thinks of her. His frustration with her stubborn and destructive nature and her repeated refusal to get help. Thus in a way, she's "digging her own grave" in his point of view.)I've never listened to Waking up, but I just did and OMG. The acoustic version is gorgeous. It fits Shadowpaw beautifully. I completely agree with what you said about "Let them In". :'3

Oh my gosh the ones that run on their back legs are so cool!! :'O
I love it, but I can't really feel it for Curse. I don't know why, but it's slightly off.
Let it Burn by Cold Kingdom is another song that has Curse themed lyrics. It's a rock song. :'D
Save yourself now
You've got a mind all of your own
So break these walls down
We've all been waiting for the show
Gotta stay alive
Gotta stay alive
You're running in circles
To find the way out
You're not gonna find it
Until you've let it all burn down
If only you'd tried to make it right
You're not gonna make it
Not gonna make it alive
Where's your pride now?
It's all been said and done before
Erase your self-doubt
Why don't you get up off the floor

They're pretty awesome - and really fast. It's so weird to watch them run! All the reptiles here are so weird, to be honest. Blue Tongued Lizards are also cool. They look normal, and you think its ok, but then they open their mouths and its bright blue.
Hmmm, fair enough. What's been your favourite song so far? What is the Cursed playlist?

Oh, and just to satisfy all of your EaglexShadow feels, here are three songs that I have that conjure up their relationship (the deep hidden one that we all wish was tangible).
"Never Forget You" by Zara Larson (helped me come up with the traditions for marriage in the human version)
"Skulls" by Bastille
"Running Back to You" by For the Foxes
And for you RushxShadow fanatics, here are three more!
"Shrike" by Crywolf
"Windswept" by Crywolf
"Runaway EP" by Lanborg & Crywolf (the entire thing. It will make you cry.)
You guys will see a huge difference between the two. If you guys want to discuss, I would love to hear what you all have to say!

I sometimes visit (read: lurk) in OTD. But I usually end up either being board or it's one of those crazy times and I have to report someone. 
I thought the lyrics fit, so that's why I suggested it.
