A CREATURE EMERGES
After seven long weeks bunkering down, driving our fellow bubble buddies mad and washing dishes, none of us will ever be the same. Now, the time has come to re-enter society as the creature you have become. So, what’s your after-iso spirit animal?
Blooming butterfly
Spent the last few weeks bettering yourself? GoOd FoR yOu. Just like a caterpillar spinning a chrysalis, you went into this with one intention: to come out the other end transformed. But as you emerge with new abs and glowing skin, don’t be surprised if your friends keep their distance. Tagging them in fitness challenges on Insta failed to inspire. But you’re a butterfly now, so who needs ‘em?
Rioting monkey
Just like a lawless monkey in the streets of Thailand, you just couldn’t handle the impacts of quarantine. You’ve been demanding we get back to normalcy since day seven, angry with the Government’s strict approach. No one is more ready to roll up their sleeves and get back to business than you. But if we do have to go back a level, don’t you dare go complaining to Cindy.
Cautious deer
Like the gentle deer exploring empty cities, you’re re-entering society with extreme caution. A super germophobe, you never left the house without a mask, gloves and the look of panic in your eyes. It may take a while to adjust to life post lockdown. But even if you’re still holding your breath in supermarkets for years to come, it will all be worth it. Great work oh clean one.
Hibernating bear
Packed on a few extra kilos? Ignored the fitness challenges you were tagged in? Enjoyed the socially acceptable sleep-in every day? Sounds like you’re coming out of hibernation. Never again can you utter the words “if only I had time”. You had all the time in the world and spent it bingeing Netflix. And you know what? There’s no need to feel guilty, you were just doing your bit.
Venetian fish
Life on lockdown gave Mother Earth a serious breather. When the canals of Venice cleared and the fish began to flourish, the internet was rife with claims that “this is how life should be”. Like the fish of Venice, you’re not quite ready to go back to normal. Whether that’s because you’re a super greenie, or just extremely introverted, you’d happily sit tight for another few weeks if you had to.
Clingy Kiwi
Be honest. Did you stick to the rules, through and through? Did your solitary bubble become a bubble bath? Shame on you, you naughty bird. Just like this kiwi, social distancing proved too much. You broke your bubble any chance you could. So as excited as you are to get back to normalcy, you can hardly complain. The rest of us made real sacrifices here. You’re just lucky you’re so cute.
Apocalyptic seagull
After feeding on the scraps of humans for years, the seagulls of Rome took to preying on rats to survive. Like them, you knew you had to adapt. And quickly. The world was in chaos and you weren’t going down without a fight. Weeks later, you emerge from your bunker armed with weapons, toilet paper and conspiracy theories. Everything is suspicious now. You may never trust again.
