{ Interview Holmes }
I kind of love that my sleeping schedule is a cryptid while I myself somehow manage to not be – that right there is some arcane bullshit and I approve.
That said – interestingly enough I am not a big fan of cryptids, generally speaking. When I was writing as Robert Small I did do some delving into that community despite it being something I actively avoid ( the Bigfoot and Alien enthusiasts out here drive me mental ) and I did some isolated research into the Dover Demon and Mothman, ultimately choosing to create my own mythos for the former and treat the latter as a running joke.
Beyond that, I have done some extensive writing and research in regard to mer-culture and the like but I generally need to be in a very particular mood to want to do anything mer related. Sea monsters, serpents and of course, the beloved kraken, are deeply important to me though and considering the nature of this blog, I really ought to write more about them.
I suppose if there is any cryptid that holds true significance for me outside of writing, it would probably be hellhounds and the wendigo. While the former is simply something I have done a lot of study in due to my fascination with mythology and demonology, the latter is actually very close to home in the fact I was raised up on the legend. I did delve at one point into research on the wendigo and my findings still chill me today, so it is something I prefer not to look at too closely anymore.
