Quick updates
- I've been reading a lot of essays and long-form writings by some community members, notably essays written by the Dragonheart Collective and bloodmuffins. I didn't realize how fulfilling it would be to read about people discussing their nonhuman identities and experiences in such a genuine, introspective, and serious manner, but I'm loving it a lot! Next up on my reading list includes who-is-page's essays as well as bloddmuffins' thesis.
- Writing is something I kind of struggle with! I have a lot of big ideas that I understand conceptually, but actually articulating them to another person is a whole other ballpark. In the near future, I would really like to write about some things I think about regularly, such as transgenderism as religion, gender and alterhumanity, and so on, but it might take some time. I used all my current writing juice on my three introductory posts, so it'll probably be more than like, two days before I'm able to get some more long-form writing posted.
- I'm questioning another fictotype, lmao. I think I might be a Mantis from Hollow Knight, more specifically a Mantis Lord. The way I generally tend to handle questioning kintypes is by slapping them onto my kin list, leaving it for a while, and if it sticks, it sticks. This might look suspiciously KFF'y, but it's how I've been handling my identity since returning to the community and it's what works for me.
