Biography

1/8, ONLY G1, ONLY NON-EXALTED

First hatched egg I ever sent out into the world :D

13/01/2022: Welcome home buddy. I’ve been watching you float all over the place ever since I sold you

. I can finally call you Gulliver and I’m super happy you weren’t exalted ;v; ~~I used part of the Tolkien quote in his broadcast cos LOTR is a good book series and the movies are pretty great too.~~ I'm also stoked that everyone kept the messages I sent you out with! You will stay a Fae in remembrance~

Traveller wrote:

you have seen fields of green, tulips and rivers
wind under your wings, it has carried you
freedom you taste on your tongue, it is sweet

you have heard the ocean, its gentle giants
small creatures that cling to your scales, curious
but crave for more than the waters of the world

you have touched the stars, sang with the moon
on a blustery night with candles that stay alit
the books are burning, knowledge is not enough

you have smelled petrichor and the parched earth
noon showers and the scorching swelter, bliss
questions, torched by flames of crusaders

four years. but it is home you miss; you are tired
sink into the comfort of nature, wrap yourself tight
familiar faces, a joy that warms your chilly night.

Gulliver! By resonantiem

Gulliver's Travels, or Travels into Several Remote Nations of the World. In Four Parts. By Lemuel Gulliver, First a Surgeon, and then a Captain of Several Ships is a 1726 prose satire by the Irish writer and clergyman Jonathan Swift, satirising both human nature and the "travellers' tales" literary subgenre. It is Swift's best known full-length work, and a classic of English literature. Swift claimed that he wrote Gulliver's Travels "to vex the world rather than divert it". The book was an immediate success. The English dramatist John Gay remarked "It is universally read, from the cabinet council to the nursery." In 2015, Robert McCrum released his selection list of 100 best novels of all time in which Gulliver's Travels is listed as "a satirical masterpiece". Gulliver's Travels has been the recipient of several designations: from Menippean satire to a children's story, from proto-science fiction to a forerunner of the modern novel.

Published seven years after Daniel Defoe's successful Robinson Crusoe, Gulliver's Travels may be read as a systematic rebuttal of Defoe's optimistic account of human capability. In The Unthinkable Swift: The Spontaneous Philosophy of a Church of England Man, Warren Montag argues that Swift was concerned to refute the notion that the individual precedes society, as Defoe's work seems to suggest. Swift regarded such thought as a dangerous endorsement of Thomas Hobbes' radical political philosophy and for this reason Gulliver repeatedly encounters established societies rather than desolate islands. The captain who invites Gulliver to serve as a surgeon aboard his ship on the disastrous third voyage is named Robinson.

A possible reason for the book's classic status is that it can be seen as many things to many people. Broadly, the book has three themes:
- A satirical view of the state of European government, and of petty differences between religions
- An inquiry into whether people are inherently corrupt or whether they become corrupted
- A restatement of the older "ancients versus moderns" controversy previously addressed by Swift in The Battle of the Books
