unhinged thirty days of otherkin challenge, day 20: describe your kintype's skin texture in great detail.
the skin of the faun's face is soft, but not smooth. sun freckles and flecks of dirt lend an uneven texture. the palms of the hands are rougher, the thick skin smudged with dirt and grass stains.
This is what testosterone does to a healthy female body. We are killing our daughters
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.
unhinged thirty days of otherkin challenge, day 3: describe a pie made from three ingredients your kintype would eat, crust included, go
berries and nuts and maybe a bird's egg or a dead mouse tossed haphazardly into the crust. there's probably a sprinkle of dirt in there, a few stray leaves. no bake time needed. eat with your hands. yummy!
Timm Ulrichs, “Wolf im Schafspelz – Schaf im Wolfspelz: Ein Verwandlungskunststück (Wolf in Sheep’s Clothing - Sheep in Wolf’s Clothing: A conversation piece)” (2005/10): Ulrichs demonstrates a sharp wit with this smart arrangement of objects. Here he presents a literal translation of the Biblical idiom of the “wolf in sheep’s clothing” and pits across its opposite, the inverted metaphor “sheep in wolf’s clothing.” It’s interesting to witness how simply changing the exterior of each stuffed animal seems to change the physiology and the expressiveness of the animal. In this case, the skeletal interior seems to preserve the animal’s inner “essence,” since the sheep in wolf’s clothing looks like a docile wolf, while the wolf in sheep’s clothing looks like a predator sheep.
