Ages ago, while I was compiling a batch of uploads for the site, I wrote the title of a post that, to my mind, read with the same cadence and rhythm as a Tamarian allegory. I wouldn't consider myself a Trekkie, even though I have admiration for the series (Lower Decks is the best, RIP Lower Decks), but it's one of the few bits of lore I've been exposed to and that I found especially fascinating.

"Kiburi, Under Her Whims" activated my neurons and got me thinking; could I make my own Tamarian allegories? That might be a fun exercise, and I'd love to see if y'all could come up with any yourselves - even from your own or other people's art.

Here's a few examples I cooked up myself:

• "Kiburi, Under Her Whims," Completely lost to and absolutely smitten under someone else's influence. (To be fair, I think there's a few of these in my portfolio. 💝)
• "Chocolate, Drowned in Colour," Overwhelmed by ideas and opportunity to create, to the point of paralysis and discomfort.
• "Ruby, With Eggs Abound," Being thrust into a new and intensely pleasurable situation, possibly without your prior knowledge or intent.
• "Soul, its subjects at ease," Being so completely in control of a situation, with perfect trust and confidence backing you up.

I know this probably is the equivalent of trying to force a meme, but I just thought it was interesting enough to do something with, and share it for a giggle. x3
