Summer, Day Sixty-Four: Jumpier Seeker found the cottage before me, of course, and came back to let me know. “Not far now. Maybe a mile on this road.” I held out my gloved hand to her. “How does it look?” She landed, ruffling her dark glossy feathers. “Could be worse. The shutters are intact and ...

<giggles> Poor Umbral, undermining their own dignity with excess adorability. Nobody who has skritched their tiny kitten ears will ever see them the same way again.
@kelkyag Umbral: "It's not that I mind being undignified, per se, it's just that the whole thing stops working if I remember I'm not actually a kitten."
@rowyn
Fascinating. Does that apply to other shapes, too? If you think about your form as something you're wearing rather than what you are, you can't operate it as intended?
@kelkyag
Umbral: "No, it's not--"
Umbral: *pained look*
Umbral: "So Cassie and Magnus are petting a cute kitten, and this is very sweet and innocent as long as I think 'I am an adorable kitten.'"
Umbral: "But if I think 'I am a person and two attractive humans are running their hands all over my naked body' the experience becomes dissonant and highly inappropriate."
@kelkyag
Umbral: "(To be clear, it is my thoughts which are inappropriate. They are still innocently petting a kitten.)"

@rowyn
They also know that you're a person.

There's a "fur counts as clothing" argument one could make, but if you're finding the situation inappropriate, changing that situation to one you're (all) comfortable with sounds like a good call.

@kelkyag Umbral: "Once my mind gets onto the wrong track, no argument can wrangle it back onto the right one." x_x
@rowyn
<concerned>
@kelkyag Umbral: "It's fine. I just needed to stop pretending to be a kitten at that point, and so I did."
