sidenote: i refer to the faun 'type in the plural rather than singular ("my fauns").
would you call a singular tree a forest? of course not. likewise, you'd never see a lone faun.
it's hard to describe the consciousness of the fauns. it's alien to a human mind.
do you know about aspen trees? most of them grow in clonal colonies, meaning that all the individual trees come from the same roots. that's the closest comparison i can think of to the fauns.
all this to say, it feels incorrect to refer to my faun 'type in the singular. it's just not how my fauns work.
Kinda nonhuman because mental illness, kinda nonhuman because not being properly socialized as a kid, kinda nonhuman because queer, kinda nonhuman because angry at humanity, kinda nonhuman because longing for the unconditional love of a pet and it’s master, and kinda nonhuman because secret sixth thing.
More on our bonnethead sharks! These sharks are in the same family as hammerheads but they are much much smaller. Our largest female is about as big as they get, around 3ft long. They are the only known species of omnivorous shark.
my fictionkintype is psychological in nature, so it's a bit funny to me that i talk about it in metaphysical terms.
in reality, i shaped the identity of [sleepyhead]. but i think about it as a past life that helped to shape me. i may not have that holy courage, but the soul lives on in me.
