DON'T SEE YOU AS HUMAN shipping meme

When you think about it, things like “humanity” and “personhood” are really just points of view. So what if your body or your abilities don't exactly match up to the Homo Sapiens norm? That doesn't defy your sentiency nor your agency. Does your body, similar or not so similar to humans, negate your thoughts? Your will? Your feelings?

...your feelings for someone else?

Ah, that might be the catch. The person is a friend, a teammate, or even someone admired from far away. You're conflicted over them. You may even love them. The problem is, of course, not that they don't see you in that way in return. Well, part of it might be, but the biggest part as they don't even see you as human enough to consider in a romantic way. They could be friendly, kind, indifferent, or, worst of all, treat you like a pet. Perhaps they know about you having a different form, if you do have one, perhaps not. The pain comes from the fact that you don't even register.

What will you do? Pretend you feel nothing at all? Try to get them to notice you? Stop being foolish? Just because you're not human doesn't mean you don't have a heart to break. Choose carefully.

[Rune warriors (or Rune slaves as some say) are clumped together with a notion of being inhuman, immortal troublemakers. Most mortals of today see the Rune warriors as nothing but tools of war, created and used by the hated Circle Mages and blame them at least partially for the Convocation War that split the world into sparse islands around the chaotic sea of the primals.]

[Being seen as just a android is one of Hayden's biggest fears.]

[ Bonus points if the object of her attraction thinks she's incapable of said attraction. I love turning to turn notions of "innocent" characters on their heads. ]

[ hi! would you be interested in something between these two? I'd be totally down for AU-ing Kimber into an ambitious witch who's forged a contract with Cole for various perks. orrrrr she could be one of Belthazor's witchly followers who is madly in love with him, though her feelings are unrequited. because Phoebe. ]

((May I direct you to Belthazor's entry on the Charmed wikia. While Belthazor can be summoned, he's a upper-level demon, a soldier of fortune, having killed a great deal of witches, innocents and demons. Binding him would be no easy task unless she also got a hold of his father's soul. Cole however would be a lot more approachable. He's nowadays a demon outcast, being hunted by his own. I'd say that may be a easier way of working them together.))

[ ooc: Well, you wouldn't be wrong. He's not human, and dark elves, as a rule are pretty unpleasant, and never trustworthy. Any prejudice he would experience wouldn't come as a surprise. He does, however, unlike many of his kin, have the capability to care for the people around him. ] ]
