I know that the whole message of this story is "oh no they lost their humanity so sad :(", but the behavior of the energy beings is described with more detail than I've seen in other sci-fi works and it gives me species euphoria.
I would even say that it is one of the greatest works of xenofiction ever written
I'm definitely not a hiveminded alien because of my desperate desire for connection and understanding. That's totally just a coincidence haha *smiles in a way that implies that I could break down at any second*
And being a cat doesn't mean I don't like being smothered with affection from time to time
hot take but I think nearly 90% of therian identities are at least somewhat subconsciously (or consciously) affected by emotional states and how the heart feels through the logical filter of the mind (like.. wanting unconditional love is clearly a canine thing, wanting respect and space is a feline thing, wanting to be feared and yet soft is like some big cat thing.. etc.. no? The stereotypes still are ever so present)
but idk man
I kind of get you TBH. Is it a light entity thing to experience periodic bouts of ecstasy for no reason? Is it a neurodivergence thing? No idea!
Still scared of loud sounds, though
status update :D I’m developing.. symptoms.
Losing a sense of self, reality, and also traversing through delusions of both god-like nature and also sheer paranoia. Currently, chilling. Like previous times. Fireworks and cars don’t scare me. Seeing people and people seeing me is tainted with an odd feeling and seeing solitude as both a sweet escape but also more crowded than being around people - because at least there, I’m distracted enough for the mask to turn to reality, but then, whoop- dee-doop, I’m alone and it’s either “good god I fucking LOVE EXISTENING do you guys see this WHY CANT YOU SEE THE BEAUTY OF THE WORLD!? I’m shedding tears in gratitude at this gift” or “haha what if I acted like a ghoul and was strange and pretended to stalk someone wait what the fuck I’m actually stalking them aaahh oh god this is too confusing what am I doing IS THAT A MAN IN THE SHADOWS????!!!” And to be fair it currently isn’t posing any problems but. Haha!
A random guy touched my nyan cat hat while I was wearing it today 😐 some people really think the world is their petting zoo

You asked for it, there it is: the dead bug jar
These are the best photos you're gonna get because I know that most of them will crumble if I take them out of the jar
Most of them were found either during nature walks or in my room (The blue and white butterfly was on the steps to a metro station for some reason???). The unfortunate little cicada that is sleeping with the fishes is actually from yesterday, which is a bummer because it was still alive a couple days before. Oh well!
How it feels being somethin otherworldly in this body
So many aspects of my identity are used as insults it's funny, I am literally a gay autistic pussy
I'm your only friend i'm not your only friend but i'm a little glowing friend but really i'm not actually your friend but i am (the painting in my cover photo is "Visitors From the Past" by Andrew Stewart)
