just got home from drinking with a bunch of furries we didn't know; what a fun time! one of them said something unexpected, something that made euphoria shoot through our entire nervous system: "you give like, elven vibes!"
this threw us completely off guard while also making us incredibly giddy. now, we aren't an elf in any way, but the fact somebody saw us for the first time and immediately recognized there was something nonhuman about us... that was simply magical. there's a great difficulty in finding another word to describe it.
this is only slightly related i suppose, but we've been considering a LoZ:TP Link 'type of some kind for the past couple days. we couldn't help but think of it when this person called us elven; we don't identify with that label at all, but we see the similarities. the pointy ears, the air of magic around each species, the mythical lore of each as well; it makes sense we thought of Link when given this compliment.
our Link feels more like a Kokiri, despite Kokiri Forest not appearing in Twilight Princess. there's also some other small canon divergent things in our "memory" (one of the main reasons we're unsure of the specific 'type is our memories. kardiatype feels closest, but Link could also be a developing alter. we're still figuring it out): we remember having some pretty gnarly top surgery scars before the events of Twilight Princess, and we remember Princess Zelda giving us the Master Sword instead of getting it through a dungeon. so far though, that's all we can really remember that's different enough that it's worth noting.
we've had exomemories before due to our plurality due to introjects & even nonhuman members with no source having them, but this feels... very different. not entirely different, but very much so. it's hard to put to words, really. i guess that's the alcohol.
well, it's late & we've been rambling for some time now. it's bed time. stay hydrated & get good sleep, you deserve it.
