talking about my fictionkintype these days is... well, "difficult" isn't the right word for it, but i'm blanking on a better one.

the fandom aspect is the biggest part. this isn't fandom for me - it's a part of my identity, and i don't want people outside the alt-h community getting misled or twisting it into a roleplay thing. it's difficult to talk about a fictionkintype if you're censoring every other word and name to avoid the fandom.

but also...

that life isn't a happy one. many of the noemata i have for it are of being afraid, sad, or lost. it ends young. it's a tragedy retold as a heroic adventure.

there's a part of me that says i should just move on. this 'type is a part of me, of course, but not a part i need to dwell on.

maybe it's better this way.

unhinged thirty days of otherkin challenge, day 28: how many fingers do you have and why?

not sure about the fauns - either four or five on each hand, with the outermost fingers functioning as thumbs.

sleepyhead has five on each hand, same as humans do.

why? don't worry about it.
