Damn You Nouns!
« on: October 28, 2013, 07:38:49 PM »
I've been stumped by some fluff I'm writing for a species whose hook is their fight to resist losing their humanity and becoming soulless emotionless machines.

But they aren't remotely human.  So what term do I use for "humanity" for other species...

Sanity?

Civility?

Sapience?

Comprehension?

Behavior?

Soul?

Essence?

Eijiness?

Heart?
Everything is edible. Just that there are things only edible once per lifetime.
It's a god-eat-god world.

Procrastination is the thief of time; Year after year it steals, till all are fled,
And to the mercies of a moment leaves; The vast concerns of an eternal scene.

Sentience as they know it?

Sense of self?
I'm what's staring back from the abyss.
How come you guys never wave?

Please send me a PM if you give me kudos. I'm interested in what I'm doing right.

Personality

Individuality?

Tonality?

Somehow I like the idea of flipping this idea around. They celebrate there loss of personality by giving those bits of self as gifts to family/friends at certain anniversary dates.

For my 13th name-date I give to you all my lust.
