unhinged thirty days of otherkin challenge, day 29: what's a really nice smell?
broken sassafras branch. petrichor. bonfire in the distance. i could go on, plenty of nice smells out there.
tonight i caught a moth and released it outside. for some reason, it got me thinking about my faun self.
would the faun have gently scooped the moth into its hands and marveled at the whisper-light touch of the moth's wings against its palms? would the faun have been careful going down the stairs, mindful of the frightened moth? would the faun have been pleased when, upon opening its hands, the moth stayed perched on its fingers? would the faun have gently blown on the moth's wings to encourage it to fly into the night?
not likely. my fauns aren't cruel, but neither are they gentle. those delicate wings would have been torn and crushed in clumsy hooves, and after a moment of confusion and curiosity, the faun would have moved on, forgetting the moth entirely.
in this life, i watched the moth fly away. i looked up what species it is - a dotted gray. and i remember it.
i'm happy that i'm gentle now.
day 16: tell me about your favorite kind of fabric… like, just in general, unrelated to your kintype(s).
i don't like anything too plush (feels bad under my nails), or anything that collects static like a bitch (obvious reasons). slippery fabrics like silk or satin are nice to touch, but feel a bit too cold right now in december.
i think my answer is in the cotton category. my flannel sheets are so warm and comfy rn, and a good cotton t-shirt is comforting and durable. everyone say "thank you, cotton"...
unhinged thirty days of otherkin challenge, day 21: glossy or matte?
