working on the shading to a piece featuring one of my catfolk characters, and i was like, "oh, i can just feel my own face to get an idea of where the light falls and the shadows are!" before i realized i have the wrong head shape on 😔
did anyone get like phantom shifts (or any at all) when they where younger and didn't know what they were or really question them until you learned about being nonhuman/alter human? a LOT in my childhood makes sense now learning I'm not a human
unhinged thirty days of otherkin challenge, day 25: alone in a forest with no provisions, how long does your kintype survive?
that's exactly where the fauns belong, baby! let's assume you mean a different forest, though. you'd have to transplant the trees somehow - we're tied to the trees - but let's say it's possible.
there'd be transplant shock, so the fauns would likely go into dormancy for a bit. the only provisions needed are good soil, sunlight, and water. easy peasy. after that, it's business as usual!
sleepyhead would be fine. they were raised in (by?) the forest, it's no stranger to them. after a moment to get their bearings, they'd soldier on.
Psychological therian not as in "this one circumstance from my childhood made me this one species" but as in "millions of tiny things over the course of my entire life from birth to well into adulthood added up to create a nonhuman identity that likely continues to evolve as my psyche changes, some of which I can identify but many of which will get lost as memories of unremarkable life events seemingly unrelated to my nonhumanity"
i can be trusted on a nature walk i promise. i promise i will stay on the trail and will not run off into the forest never to be seen again i promise
