North Cascades, WA By Aubrey Laurence

unhinged thirty days of otherkin challenge, days 4 and 5: do you like sticks? do you like leaves?

you can do so much with sticks. you can stack sticks into a pile, create art pieces, break them into pieces to hear that satisfying snap, play swords... the possibilities are endless.

you have to admire the variety of shapes, textures, and colors that leaves come in. the canopy up above casts such lovely dappled shadows on the forest floor and allows only the sweetest rays of sunlight through. effervescent.

and if you find a stick with leaves on? pick that thing up and shake it around. the weight and sound of it is delightful.

re: cat otherhearted type

the matter is not as settled as i wanted to believe orz. i think it's time i accepted it as a para-type instead of trying to stuff it into one label or the other. ✌️

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

not werewolf as in man twisted into a monstrous caricature of canine.

werewolf as in neither canine nor man.

werewolf as in tied to the moon, the eye ever blinking.

werewolf as in solitary despite your nature.

werewolf as in "i love you, but i'm just another animal."
