the fauns check it out, no hesitation or caution! <3

sleepyhead puts a hand on the hilt of their sword, and waits a moment to see if the source comes into view. no use getting yourself into trouble if you can avoid it, and boy, does sleepyhead want to avoid it.

Timm Ulrichs, “Wolf im Schafspelz – Schaf im Wolfspelz: Ein Verwandlungskunststück (Wolf in Sheep’s Clothing - Sheep in Wolf’s Clothing: A conversation piece)” (2005/10): Ulrichs demonstrates a sharp wit with this smart arrangement of objects. Here he presents a literal translation of the Biblical idiom of the “wolf in sheep’s clothing” and pits across its opposite, the inverted metaphor “sheep in wolf’s clothing.” It’s interesting to witness how simply changing the exterior of each stuffed animal seems to change the physiology and the expressiveness of the animal. In this case, the skeletal interior seems to preserve the animal’s inner “essence,” since the sheep in wolf’s clothing looks like a docile wolf, while the wolf in sheep’s clothing looks like a predator sheep.

pov: you’re a small woodland creature sitting on a moss-covered rock, listening to the stream without a worry in the world

when it comes to my tail, i really only feel the base of it. i know what the rest of it looks like, but i don't feel it.

at least i don't have to worry about getting it caught on/between anything, i suppose!

Shoutout to adults in the kin community, whether you also identified as kin from a younger age or not. So often this identity is seen as a phase or something only younger people identify as, but there are those of us out here in our 20s, 30s, 40s, and older living our lives and existing out in the world.

To those of us who grew into it, to those of us that grew with it, I see you and love you.
