the Bull | Challenge Post
the Bull.
round ends: 11:59pm 21st May (UTC)
Quality - Negative: inwardly reflective, introvert.
Element - Earth: stability, practicality, fertility.
Mode - Fixed: the element in its most intense form - associated with stability and strength.
Body part - Genetalia. Direction - North
Traditional definitions - Bestial - the signs symbolised by four-footed animals. These can lack in social graces and sometimes indicate coarseness and a poor appreciation for 'niceties' and polite manners. They can also be a little inarticulate, caring more about making their point, than the elegance of the style in which it is made.

notes on this round:
due to the ~stars this round will be shorter than standard (as we are beginning late). if you are unable to complete your entry there will be a post once the round closes where you can share what you had completed. we are still very much ironing things out, so consider this round a bit of a dry run. feedback is very much welcome & a chance to give detailed feedback will be coming up after the Bull is done.
please, enjoy your self & ask any questions that spring to mind: as we've heard from countless teachers - there are no stupid questions :P
