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.

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.
