Subject: A Big Confession


Okay I'm not sure how to go about this, but I'd super appreciate it if everyone read this??? Because I have a super huge confession to make and it's important to me. And it'd probably explain a lot about how I've been acting since I'm pretty sure I've weirded a lot out of you out.

Guess the best way to start is with the backstory. So like a super long time ago, my ancestor Sun Yee lived in this village during war time, and all the men went off to fight. But that left the village kinda defenseless, y'know? She wanted to protect her daughters so she prayed to the gods for help. So the gods gave her the ability to turn into a gigantic red panda so she could fight off any invaders and protect her home. Because she really loved red pandas.

Now I know that sounds SUPER MADE UP but I promise it's real because that ability got passed down through the generations - which leads to me. Whenever I get super emotional about anything (happy, sad, angry, you name it) I turn into the Panda. Sometimes just a small trigger will set off parts of the Panda, like ears and tail - so if you've seen me try to head my head or my butt, uh, yeah, that's why. Now some of you may be asking why I've been hiding this because we've got literal animals and demons walking and talking around this world like it's no biggie.

IT IS A SUPER BIGGIE IN MY WORLD. Like, no one thinks gods and magic actually exist??? I sure didn't! No one told me about this "blessing" until it happened to me like a few weeks before I came here! And I freaked out and nearly destroyed my home and temple! I'm already a huge target for bullying at my school, this would be infinity times worse! There is this ritual to seal up the Panda but this place grabbed me before we could do it!

But this world is different. Yeah, obviously. But like... everyone's so nice? And understanding? Plus while the idea of a giant Red Panda sounds super silly, that form of mine is actually really strong, so it could help fight monsters here and stuff. So... I'm not going to try and hide it anymore. As long as I'm here, I'm going to try and embrace it a little more. So, I guess, that's everything.

Wait no one last thing - If my mom ever comes here please don't tell her about any of this! Okay now I'm done.

is this even news at this point

we're trapped in a shared dream world that keeps crossing wires with fairy tales

in august i got turned into a scarecrow, straw stuffing and all, and a pack of flying monkeys threw my actual ass into a tree and one of my arms into a field fifty feet away

a friend has a talking cat that turned into a bus and one time a helicopter and as far as i can tell mine is nowhere near the weirdest experience here

nobody cares

and?

the concept of what's 'normal' is a lie made up by people whose only personality trait is willingness to conform to societal expectation

Nobody whose opinion is worth noting is going to give a shit about your capacity to magically turn into a possum, a fox, a bumblebee, a potted cactus, whatever.

Probably you'd go up in a lot of peoples' estimation, actually.

Shocking, I know, but I am sometimes capable of good ideas.

What I am is complicated. Life isn't a visual novel, and people don't usually fit into neat little boxes.
