There used to be a smurf like any other. He had friends, hobbies, things he liked and disliked, ... then, he was bitten by the Bzz Fly, starting what one could call a zombie apocalypse. The day was saved, everyone went back to normal, except that one smurf, who remained forever changed. Everyone moved on, and he was finally given a name, fitting of this new personality.

That is how the story went for Grouchy Smurf. Not that he cares. It's been like this for a long time now, and nothing will ever change it.

 That's it, until the morning that Grouchy finds much smurfier than usual.

lost in the dark (he's got a heavy heart) | Chapter 5

Summary:

The problem with Pearl, Grian thinks, is that he never truly knows what she's thinking.

Not to say he doesn't know her, and can't make an educated guess, it's just— Pearl has always kept her cards close to her chest. Despite how long they've known each other, neither of them have ever been keen on sharing secrets; instead, they'd mutually, silently, opted to respect what was left unsaid and live only in shared moments without asking.

They'd almost broken this unspoken rule the day Pearl joined Hermitcraft. Almost— at the last second Pearl had swallowed her fear, her anger, the unmoored grief still swimming inside her, and haltingly told him never to disappear on her like that again. Punched his shoulder. Looked like she was about to cry. Grian had given her a hug and a half-hearted smile in return, told her I'll do my best, and they'd never spoken about it again.

Grian remembers those words like a thorn in his heart. Another lie, another broken promise; he's full of them these days.

Omen sighs heavily, putting a hand over his face and rubbing his sockets. "I see..." It seems I owe him an apology as well then. The nightmare straightens his coat a bit and huffs. "I'm sure you may have been able to tell, but Malice is.... Sensitive when it comes to those he cares for." That was an understatement of course. Malice could be considered near inconsolable when he was upset. The only option now was to let him work through his anger until he tires himself out.

How unfortunate to lose that au early... it still had potential, but I suppose I can overlook his outburst this time.

"Well, regardless, I'm sure you'll wish to apologize later. I'll make sure to have him see you when he has calmed down." Omen looks down at Evris, his expression softening. "...Trust is hard for some of us... I'm certain Malice understands that you had not intended to... hurt him."

"........."

[Annnnd I can see that did absolutely nothing to console him......... shit.]

"Or... We can try- A different approach to this..."

"Does that sound good to you?"

"I'm sure what I can offer is some calm solace for you for the-"

"I need to see him O-omen, ...I need to see.... T-to see he's ok."

This is not intended to start arguments of any kind. I am merely expression my personal frustration.

I'm glad everyone is having a good time with this "catgirl hacks the TSA" thing. You do realize therianthropy will never be taken seriously now, and any progress we've made toward making otherkinity "acceptable" to the human public is obliterated. Therianthropy will forever be a meme or a joke because of this. Hell, one of the most popular posts about this calls otherkin furries and a lot of non-kin people were already confused about the difference. This is damage that can't be undone.

I'm just tired of my identity, the core of who I am, being treated like a quirky joke, and this did not help. I don't see how so many of us seem to be okay with this.

Anon, I think you need to stop. Look in a mirror and say this out loud. Realize how fundamentally fucking ridiculous and selfish you sound.

You are blaming a single cat therian for having gone and done what is fundamentally an incredibly important deed for revealing flaws and inherent bigotry in how the United States approaches anti-terrorism tactics in flights post-9/11, and for being publicly a therian while having done it. Are you holding all therians to this same standard, I wonder? Is any therian who is publicly alterhuman and does something to gain positive renown Problem Therian #1 to you? Should we all just hide our animality in our lives outside of Tumblr for your comfort and security? If we ever do something good, do we automatically neeed to start dedicating serious resources to being a Good Therian Role-modelTM?

If you feel that therianthropy is being misunderstood en masse, how about you get off your lazy tail and actually do something to assist the problem that you're so confidently whining about? You can spend the energy here telling us how much therianthropy will "never be taken seriously now," and you're bemoaning human acceptance. You're sitting here complaining about Maia, but what have you done in recent memory about this? You're desperately wanting for human respect here, but I don't exactly see you flaunting your resume of times you've rolled over, showed your belly, and played the part of a respectability politics beg. I don't see you making websites, creating videos, writing essays, or anything else, either. You've got energy to send us this ask, but not to show your face behind it or say the things that you've done yourself to actually help this issue that you boldly claim that Maia has created. That's some tucked tail. Show up or shut up, as the kids say.

Also, I hate to break it to you, but there's been a well-known, popularly referenced meme specifically mocking otherkin and therians since 2013. A meme that was specifically fabricated from a documentary on nonhuman identities with the intent to mock them, if what interviews say are true. If Naia Okami's "On All Levels Except Physical, I Am A Wolf" meme didn't tank the community even after her doing alterhuman-focused interviews that referenced it for almost ten years after the fact, I think we'll be fine with this. Hell, what we're talking about here isn't even negative attention, and it's not even attention directly focused on us as a community, it's just adjacent! Maybe I have a thicker pelt than you, but this is seriously nothing comparatively to some of the things that have happened and been connected to the therian community in the past.

Anon, I don't know why on Earth you thought sending this in wouldn't spur an argument considering what you're saying is frankly insulting on multiple levels: to anyone who's actually done groundwork in the therian community, to plenty of us who were there during periods of time where media was being connected to the community in actually harmful and negligent ways (Wolfie Blackheart, Naia, etc.), to people who are openly a therian online and in their day-to-day life but don't make it a priority to try and be the therian's therian or anything ridiculous like that, to anyone who is "okay with this" as you put it. You're claiming that a therian who's done a genuinely good deed has wronged the community by virtue of her just being a public therian. How do you not realize the plethora of shitty implications in what you're saying here?

MY BABY MY BABY MY BABYYYYY

So at some point in Agent 98-27-3901's life, he got on the wrong side of Better Living Industries' city mandates. He did something terrible, perhaps treasonous, and they magnanimously allowed him another shot at life. They wiped his memories, gave him a gun, and sent him out to do some good with the blank slate they allotted him. Regular meetings with a psychiatrist are meant to ensure that he won't relapse, and that he only recalls certain memories under controlled circumstances - because some of those memories might be of use to his employers.

The problem is, it's been four years now, and he doesn't think he's getting any better. That's fine, though. Things could be worse. All he has to do is keep his head down and he can carve out a tolerable existence for himself.

How hard could that be?
