Cool bird :D It reminds me a bit of the game people play where they find animals in clouds. Very nice colours and looks quite soft and puffy _ I bet it would feel cool to poke it. I am not sure how the peacock would feel about that though.
Technically, a peacock is a bird, I know, but a creature nonetheless.
According to Wikipedia, peafowl find themselves in the family Phasianidae (along with the more plain-looking, but ostensibly tastier chickens and turkeys), of the order Galliformes, of the class Aves (birds!), of the phylum Chordata, of the kingdom Animalia.
So, you may rest assured that a peacock is, in fact, an animal.
The scientific classification of a cloud-peacock hybrid, on the other hand, is up in the air.
I'm sorry you're feeling unwell, but I'm glad you're still finding the energy to create. It's important not to lose yourself in stuff like that. We're all living beings and even in the best case we'll all one day perish of one thing or another; it's best just to live while we're alive. Yadda yadda feel-good vibes... does anyone who says this stuff ever actually deal with existential dread? It's terrifying. I'm laughing at how much of an idiot I sound like. Regardless, it is objectively true that worrying is fruitless, so I guess try to stop or something?
And that's the problem I have with saying things like that. It's either everything will be fine (talking from ass), or just stop worrying. It reminds me of I'll pray for you. Empty sayings which serve to relieve the speaker of an empathetic burden, but leave the actually affected individual to sit there and say.... "ok? Uh, thanks."
Do take care of yourself, m, and feel better soon. I look forward to the next creature, which maybe this time will be a combination of animal number seven and thing number eleven...?
