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.

i've had a creeping feeling that my faun kintype is actually a theriomythic type, and looking into faun art on this here webbed site i think i've confirmed it.

depictions of fauns (modern depictions, anyhow) always project a level of sapience that doesn't line up with my noemata. my fauns are not humans with goat legs - they're a different animal entirely.

tool use is more on par with corvids than humans. language is simple. we mimic humans the same way humans mimic cats, with no knowledge of deeper meaning. we don't wear clothes.

so! i'm recategorizing the fauns as theriomythic type, rather than kintype.

HERE IT IS!!!!
