Singers are normally only outwardly aggressive toward other Singers who are on equal footing/same sex with them. I interpret this to mean that I only really feel like I can be RAWR angry at someone who is on the same level of hierarchy as me. And Singers will only meet dogs of the same sex in the wild very rarely - they're thought to travel in opposite sex pairs or alone - so I interpret this that I only feel the need to be this aggressive very rarely.

I wouldn't say I'm ever really aggressive toward someone who was originally on lower footing than me, I can just be bossy (yay more hierarchy) and when it comes to people over me in the hierarchy I just can't bring myself to be aggressive toward them unless they say something so incredibly bullheadedly stupid that they're downgraded to equal footing. P: People who think they're over me but have really been secretly downgraded for being incompetent aren't as fair game as someone who was originally on equal footing with me, but I'm more rebellious in the "Lol whatever not listening to you," sense than in the really angry sense.

Mostly, being a wild/feral/whatever dog, they're passive aggressive more than outwardly aggressive. People seem to think this is even worse than actual aggression half the time, but really, I'd rather someone know I have a problem with something without screaming at them and without having a Deep Emotional Talk. xD

Edit; Oh and the bitches call the shots. ;D Female Singers are more aggressive/assertive than male Singers. *has no idea how he forgets such limited information*

XD Not very. Among others of it's species, there's always a bit of squabble over the normal stuff like pretty much every species, but when there's real danger, they're gone. Hiding or just flat out running away. XD

@Wendigo: Sorry, but what are these patches? I heard them mentioned but I'm confuzzled.
Edit: Never mind, I figured it out. I'm a makin one right now.

Aggression:
Aggression in jackals is a strange, complicated, and mysterious art. I have a difficult time explaining it because a big point with jackals is people think they are being aggressive when they really weren’t. If someone is bothering me or going too far, I’ll make a snide little warning comment. Unfortunately, my warning comments are pretty sharp so people go “OMG YOU’RE ATTACKING ME D:<” when I’m just like “lol I’m not even angry yet.” See, jackals just have such bad reputations that their actions get interpreted all wrong. If someone sees a wolf hanging around a dead buffalo, they will be like “how glorious 8D What a magnificent hunter.” See a jackal hanging around a dead gazelle, they will say “eww a nasty scavenger.” Well, stupid person, that wolf just happened upon the dead buffalo (lol, a single wolf kill a buffalo? please) and the jackal killed the gazelle all by herself. Slap on some sarcasm, cocky ego, and cynicism and my passive-aggression becomes RAWR in everyone’s eyes. As a srsface canine documentary once said, jackals “get by on personality alone."

Real aggression, though, can be a lot of sharp taunts and mean comments, or it can be total and utter murder. Even though they are little things, jackals can take on bears and hyena when it serves them. But they are careful. They keep their distance; they have an escape route; they have back up. Jackal people never let their emotions get the better of them in a fight. They keep their cool and keep their distance, even while delivering harsh blows. Jackals need back up too. They will rarely engage in a fight without supporters, even if those supporters are just the people saying “you go, man” in their heads. XD

If someone rrrreally crosses the line, a jackal will tear the person apart. In general a jackal will be careful about crossing the line themselves. They know how cruel they can be, and besides the bad consequences that being a total bitch can bring on themselves, they don’t want to totally kill the person. This is especially true with people the jackal likes. I am really conflict avoidant when it comes to friends. I mean, I snap at a friend trying to steal my French fries, but I won’t tell them off for lying about a party or something. Too much emotion involved. Anyway, if someone goes way too far with me, I will get angry and terrible. There is a clip on the web of a mated pair just about killing a trespasser on their territory -it’s ugly. Like I said, I can be cruel, and that’s the kind of conflict that screws friendships up.

So when it comes down to it, jackals are just like any canine. The taunts can be turned around into jokes to lessen the tension and keep order. The mean comments can put someone in their place but not destroy them. It’s all about diffusing the real conflict and making things better again, as backwards as it sounds. That’s what canines do. Jackals just do it with an unusual sharp edge. The real bad stuff is saved for trespassers and fools trying to eat your pups.

floating softly in the sky
among out dreams that bid goodbye
moving through transparent space
drifting through the stratosphere
and onward 'til they disappear

Contrary to maybe what some people thought (if they noticed) I didn't fall off the face of the planet. XD In fact, my internet has not been working for 2-4 days (not sure how long) and so I haven't been able to get on until now when I finally found out what the problem was. So hi again! ^^

@Agression question- Well, for domestic cats in general at least (and I think this applies pretty much to all of them) they pretty much use conflict avoidance. They don't want to get involved in fights. However, this does not mean that they don't get mad or the like, considering domestic cats hold grudges for a VERY long time. They will sometimes get in conflicts, in some cases more than others, but still desire to avoid conflicts. (I'm hot, sweaty, and a bit tired, so if this doesn't make sense I don't blame you. XD)

Oh, and I think I'm stable as a Russian Blue thing (Though settling into any form is probably quite a bit away for me). Only two people replied to my RA, both said domestic cat. One only seemed to say "Well, the only thing I really noticed is that Russians stick out slightly while you like to blend in." Well, I did point out that I do stick out a little and personally I think I worded it wrong as I don't try to look like everyone else, I just don't wear clothes that shout "LOOK AT ME!!" The other, who I think was more experienced, said they saw a little bit of unsettledness but did say shorthair domestic cats were along my lines. Hence, I'm still satisfied with Russian Blue, it's been working well as a common form, it fits very, very well and so I'm saying I'm stable. Yay! ^^ (Wow, I babbled a lot didn't I? XD) Of course research is still being done but for now it's Russian Blue.

EDIT: The top of the page. NOOO!! XD

@ Question-
Tollers are unaggressive unless they're not socialized. :3 They're friendly dogs and they sometimes hunted in pairs so they had to get along with other dogs as well. So I'm pretty passive and friendly. I don't like hurting people and I'm really non confrontational.

When defending my friends I can be assertive... And I can get really aggressive when irritated... It takes a lot to irritate me, though. v.v

So mostly nonaggressive.

Four more people until we hit 100 members. I'm excited!

Trying to think of a new question. Maybe a new picture post.

What about posting an image of the most oddest form your daemon has even been projected in?
