This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.
Be warned:
- Anon is often crazy.
- Anon is often depressed.
- Anon frequently shares thoughts that are immature, offensive, or incomprehensible.
If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Well kinda except a lot of birds do this and we don't find it scary, we find it cute and funny
There's an entire poem dedicated to a Crow saying 'nevermore', and there's an old cartoon trope of crows saying foreboding things prior to tragedies.
Our love and interest in talking birds has always been also accompanied by unease, especially at what they say.
Well yes but to be a pedant - poes bird is a Raven - both are corvids, but Corvus brachyrhynchos is a different species to Corvus cryptoleucus or Corvus corax.
and Poe's protagonist is only scared because the coincidence of him praying over his dead love and raven answering him with an ominous word. However, the Simpsons tried to make this a horror thing, but before I saw that episode I always thought it was more about despair than fear: "my soul shall be lifted nevermore" because of his mourning over his lost lady
