Dive Deep into Creativity: Discover, Share, Inspire
another thing to be wary of are the chameleons of change - the ‘Many Hobbyists’ (often with ADHD) who can be found in all of the above locations - a true cosmopolitan species.
while generally friendly and receptive to guidance from native species they can easily become hostile. This is a survival strategy; they are fully aware that they are encroaching on ecological niches - and that the native fauna is far more suitable to survive in such habitats than they are. Rather than risk being chased out of the store (an unlikely scenario but an engrained survival instinct - residual from the past where these specimen were often alone in large areas and had no pack to rely on) they will instead lash out first and insist they know everything.
With their clever use of the internet and community spaces they are capable of slowing gathering a pack and are perfectly capable of integrating themselves into other ecosystems. Craft Ladies are the preferred target of a symbiotic relationship. The Many Hobbyists can venture further with greater ease, and bring back new techniques and materials. In exchange, the Craft Ladies offer guidance, expertise and protection.
Craft Ladies are uniquely suited to such a task as their overall social and calm nature makes them ideal to soothe a frightened Many Hobbyists, afraid of being seen as the weakest member of the pack.
in larger Craft Lady gathering, many packs will often introduce their resident Many Hobbyist to each other - a rare and delightful experience that would be difficult to naturally occur due to the scarcity and isolation of Many Hobbyists in physical spaces.
