I wonder if their families would recognize them if they encountered the T's in T mode? sort of the same way that we have to doubletake should we happen to spot them out IRL, outside of T mode?
my own shape-shifter gave me just a glimpse of her whole self this week. In retrospect, it seemed a sort of unspoken compliment to me, as if to say, you can handle this, but can I?
good thing it was at the very very end of the hour, I hope we don't do that again too soon. |
Lol, I'm glad she seems human. There I go, pressing my own insecurities onto others!
There is an unrealness (new word) to their demeanor, though, which stems from the things you talked about - not judging or penalizing and the like.
I think you can handle what your T offered. I wonder if it was something you anticipated or wanted. I can feel very mixed about my T offering her whole self to me. In theory, I want to know all of the parts of her. But in practice, it can be disconcerting. I've tried to force myself to view her as a whole person, with the hopes that I'd stop idealizing her so much. I'm not sure how well that's worked.
