Dragons be like “I know a place” and then take you here

This is a clearer version of the previous post:

I don't know who in the community needs to hear this, but don't refer to humans as apes! (No, "monkeys" is not ok either!)

"Humans are taxonomically great apes, so technically--"

This post is not about human taxonomy

"I don't mean it in a racist way!"

Ok but I need you to understand that it still very much is though. Don't say that shit. It happens in this community way too often.

So why is this being brought up? Because it is very, frustratingly common for those who identify as nonhuman to refer to humans as "apes" or "monkeys" in a derogatory manner. For some people, they consider themselves distanced enough from humanity that this suddenly becomes an ok thing to say, and it is not. Even in a non-derogatory sense, that does not erase that it's still, well, quite racist.

"What should I use instead then?"

Human. That's all. You don't need special vocabulary to replace "apes" and "monkeys" with when talking about humans. Just say human.

And "that's racist" is a scary phrase for a lot of people and tends to send them into defense mode, rejecting the possibility of ever saying anything racially insensitive. "It's not racist because I'm not trying to be racist" is not how racism works. You have to catch yourself. Because while we hate to say it, the alterhuman community can be quite racist (and appropriative, but that's a different discussion), and the reason people of color tend to be so uncomfortable in the community and avoid interaction is because whenever we speak up about these issues there is a sudden pushback.

If you are lucky enough to not have seen it then that is fantastic, but it can mean one of two things:

You were lucky

You just weren't able to recognize them

Neither of these things immediately makes you a bad person, but what you need to do in any case is listen and understand that this is a very real thing that many have to deal with regularly.

Being a psychological alterhuman is like "It's not that I was a dragon/any of my other kintypes in the past and yearn to be one again, it's that I am all of them right this minute and yearn to be in the correct body"

(I mean absolutely no disrespect to spiritual alterhumans with this post, yall are totally cool)

How the Slytherin boys would react to you avoiding kisses as a joke

Tom Riddle

Glare at you

Try to kiss you again

Grab the back of your neck forcefully

“Stop avoiding my kisses”

‘It’s just a joke love’ you’d giggle

He’d frown

“Don’t do that again!”

Low-key punish you for it

Mattheo Riddle

Chuckle

Move your head forcing you to kiss him.

“Stop trying to avoid my kisses, you were practically begging my my dick earlier.”

Pull you into his lap

Kisses you all over 🤭

You needed help walking the next day 🧎‍♀️

Draco Malfoy

Groan in annoyance

“Stop joking around darling”

Gets annoyed when you tease him more.

Tackles you in a hug, throws you over his shoulder.

Theodore Nott

“What the fuck was that.”

Try to kiss you again.

“Babe?!”

He would probably take it to heart until you apologise.

You’d explain it was a joke and he would probably pout like a child, until you’d kiss it away.

Blaise Zabini

Pretend as if it didn’t happen

Try to kiss you again

He’d probably take it to heart

“Stop messing with me”

‘It’s a joke sweetheart’

He’d tackle you and pepper your face in kisses.

Lorenzo Berkshire

Would instantly Tense

“What’s wrong sweetheart”

You caved instantly, the pout on his face was so adorable.

Pepper your face in kisses and comfort you.

[whereserpentswalk]

When you were sent to slay a dragon you didn't expect the deadly thing that you bared witness to. You expected a medium sized creature, with a body like a crocodile, instead something much stranger and more ancient was what you were met with. A massive entity, with dozens of snake like heads, on a body bigger then a fortress, with massive wings like an angel, living in a pit that leads all the way down to the lands of the dead.

When you pointed your sword to it it didn't react. It didn't attack you. It just watched. When you stabbed it it didn't notice. Your sword couldn't cut its scales, and your arrows couldn't break its belly. You felt so very small, after having felt so powerful for far too long a time. Its burning eyes were just looking at you, a hundred burning eyes all seeing you as so small.

It could have killed you without effort, but instead of breathing fire it breathed smoke, and put you to a dreamers sleep, until you woke up somewhere deeper and darker within its lair. It kept you safe, for it decided it better that you should live.

The dragon spoke to you softly with its many mouths, and told you that you were not a fool even if you have been fooled. The riches of kings and glory of murder have made you into a creature that is not what humanity evolved to be. It pet you gently with a hand that was larger then your entire body, and told you it would cause you no harm as long as you made no attempt to harm it.

It told you that it sheds its heads and grows them back just as sharks shed teeth and humans shed eyelashes. So you could take one of its many discarded heads back to your king, and win the lords bounty for having 'slain' it, just like all the other poor boys who've tried to make their fortune slaying dragons.

Could my fellow dragons interact with this post? I want to follow all of you

Edit: no, I do not mean this taxonomically. That is not the point of this post.
