was way too hot to play mushroom musume for very long , so instead mostly work on organise obsidian vault for stories . this is ... slow progress and not very fun , but want to hope will become easier to record stories . just sort of wish did this way to start with . >_>
basically , want to record each event - with choices and possibilities - as separate pages from story logs , and then point story logs to those pages with simple blurbs . harder to read through each story cohesively , but easier to actually record during gameplay , and that is important part - and over time , this will result in sort of complete record for possibilities . not really interest in min-max or overanalyse game , want to still enjoy as is , but useful to know which choices carry more or less risk for given character .

anyway ! elati : naturally cultivate into potato , and then gamble to faerie to create looming brown potatoceps . lovely girl .
funnily , elati did also meet girl of dreams , who fellow potato sister nene follow and fall into endless slumber . elati did not follow this far , though , and choose just to sing . also learn how to juggle , meet mr newyear , and discover beauty of snow ! real deal for elati was recluse's debt to witch - have to find and kill lost daughter . fortunately , elati succeed in this , and live to tell tale .

after elati , nelina turn out to be great dusty rose split gill . absolutely adore , and dusty rose is honestly such beautiful palette . nelina make several trips out to abandoned dungeon from dream - come across gnome depot , gift shop , and cavern of art - and as well meet tooth fairy syndicate . by winter , nelina get in touch with these fairies again , and explore mansion . nelina make very good impression with 5 out of 5 successes , and happily begin work for tooth fairy !

crosspost from tumblr . ( original post )

preface : this is specifically in answer to A. prior ask about animal-centric attitudes in physical nonhuman spaces , which is honestly alterhuman-wide also , and B. new physical nonhuman community , which right now have similar animal-centric lean in language and rules , and want to break down problems with this . will clarify that did also show this to admin , just easier to make things as public post due to how kossai write , so hopefully will see some more change . because of this , there is more mention of physical nonhumans , but still broadly applicable .

---

person / people is not just human word . many alterhumans and nonhumans still prefer people over terms like animal . not all alterhumanity is nonhuman in nature , not all nonhumanity is animal in nature , and even fellow animal folk can still have preference to acknowledge personhood .

as well , refusal to say person and comparisons to animals can be very touchy subjects for alterhumans who experience any number of oppressions , especially on basis of race . to broadly refer to others as creatures or beasts , even if intend under alterhuman context , is not neutral action .

on top of that , some physical nonhumans naturally belong to humanoid species . this means words for body parts like hands , feet , and nose might still be preferable , and to insist on use animal terms in place is disrespectful . this is not to persuade anyone else to personally accept these words , but not fair to consider these words " human only " .

to set standard of inclusive language for community space , especially in this case physically nonhuman one ... do not focus on which words human and which ones nonhuman , because there will always be exceptions . instead , would be more inclusive to :

• include words like people in community-wide addresses - such as people and creatures , rather than just creatures . kossai find that addition of folk also can soften implications in these contexts , mileage may vary on this one - creature folk , animal folk , etc .
• focus on fact that there will be range of users with range of species , and that these users may choose to use any range of words and descriptors .
• and set standard to follow lead of these users , whether that means whale , cheetah , vampire , or indeed person . to intentionally refuse to call someone as person should be just as punishable as any other intentional refusal to respect terms of choice .

no need to distinguish any of these as human or nonhuman , as that create confusion , frustration , and feelings of isolation even within community .

know some people talk about hangry feelings - so hungry that just feel irritable and angry - but kossai get more specifically hanal . just really zero in on something that feel in need of organise or fix , but have no energy to actually do so , so instead just temporarily obsess on theory and potential , try to list through pros and cons , basically rubber duck to open air . funny thing is after kossai eat , 90% of time realise that solution was terrible .

anyway so pretty hanal right now .
