anon asked: ⋆⁺‧₊☽ What's it like, bein' human??? It seems really interesting!! ☾₊‧⁺⋆ fun question ;PPP i mean i guess you can only really tell what you are from an outside pov for comparison, no? but sure. i'll bite, cause i doooo in fact have a lot a thoughts about it. bein human is very soft. literally fathoms a shit you can't do. you can't walk away from death. wounds take weeks on the mend instead a days. you can't shake off hurt. your body flags an folds sometimes to survive instead a just fight or flight. it's scary, but it works really well! you can't be the strongest. you get real good at bending. you can't adapt to it all, despite what even other humans might say. your whole system kinda bucks when life gets too much, tosses out all the plates you're spinnin, puts you in timeout. you can't be alone. you'll die if you do that! most a the time the relationships you have with people ain't even gonna be passionate or friends or even colleagues, they're just gonna be these little stranger stitches sewn into the days, an those're probably the people that'll keep you tied to this life. you CAN be angry at people but usually you CAN'T do it in a way that's straightforward. you get cruel, you get creative about it. social convention says no blood sports amongst friends (see under: can't be alone or you die), so instead you toss your friend's favorite jacket in the trash an pretend you don't know where it went cause you don't want them to be mad back at you. you lie a lot. there's a lot a softness in the hope too. that's what happens when your brain runs on amy amygdala i guess, big ol tangled soup that makes you hope for the weirdest shit. like oh i hope my neighbor got his new job so he quits bummin me for five bucks every time i get home. oh i hope i make it. oh i hope i don't make it cause that'll show dad. i hope people think about me. god i hope i'm not still the kinda guy that thinks about people thinkin about him (i am, i am that guy, i am THE guy, glad to have your thoughts about me keepin me warm at night <3). you are in a species that give a trillion undeserved second chances whether they wanna admit it or not. you get to try again more often than you probably should. you wouldn't survive any other way really. i could write a book about it. i HAVE written an album about it, you should go buy it. thanks for the ask <3
