I've Had A Creeping Feeling That My Faun Kintype Is Actually A Theriomythic Type, And Looking Into Faun

crag wyvern. extremely intelligent and has a very friendly disposition, but most people think of it as ugly and ominous

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
