Being A Fern;

How did it happen?:

In the early months of being nonhuman online, i decided to have a name purely for my nonhumanity so i took the name inferno and shortened it to fern. After a while i grew used to the name fern and started to prefer it to inferno, honestly sometimes i forget that it isnt my proper "human" name, and i developed a connection between me and ferns. At first it was just seeing a fern and going 'hehe thats me lol' and being a nonhuman called fern 'im not a human im fern' started to blend together to become 'im not a human im a fern'. This was just a side thing for a while just a label that didnt have much effect on me but then i got thrown into an episode of identity confusion and the name fern was the only thing that properly stuck. I was now fully a fern.

My experiences:

As im photosensitive ive never really wanted to spend long amounts of time in the sun so one of a plants most noticeable features, photosynthesis, has never appealed to me. That being said ferns do well in low light. I enjoy the slow movement of plants and often just want to sit by a tree and let the wind or rain hit me, i would love to be huddled with other plants at a forest floor. The idea of being a house fern has crossed my mind but it feels so lonely to me especially if im sectioned to a pot by myself, i want to be able to reach out to other plants roots. Trees feel sort of like a guardian to me and i enjoy spending time with them and chatting to them. Some ferns can also be considered weeds as they tend to get into places quickly and are difficult to get rid off, im definitely one of those ferns. I have a habit of getting into places i shouldnt and am fairly stubborn a guy.. what can i say im a weedy little rascal.

What now?:
