personal accounts of archetropy

this is, simply put, my big list o' links to my and other people's archetropy and adjacent content.

• Vyt's #paladiary tag ⁠— vyt, a Paladin, is probably one of the most prolific writers on archetropy out there. pretty much everything you can imagine about archetropy is touched on in here somewhere.
• “What does it feel like to identify as an archetrope?” ⁠— multiple people from the archetroper's guild discord server offer their perspectives.
• moments of moreness ⁠— i and other people experience changes in perception related to archetropy, but maybe we shouldn't call them ‘shifts’.
• The Soldier and the Knight ⁠— Rquell writes on his relationship to these archetypes, and how they're complicated by also being real life jobs ⁠— ones whose narratives are often steeped in propaganda.
• ⩝ ⁠— עכאָ coins a name for an archetype that doesn't have one, and explains what it even is ⁠— vagrant, shapeshifting, adaptive and restless.
• On Questioning An Archetrope ⁠— Rani wonders if dre might be a Paladin.
• Archetrope Chatter ⁠— monsterqueers were literally raised by beasts, and feel deeply touched by similar narratives in fiction.

• Dogs As Narrative, Through The Lens Of Abuse Recovery ⁠— Jude Rook-Machina is definitely a Dog, but only metaphorically. it's a narrative identity, and not a species one.

• My Experience as a White Magician Femme ⁠— Mel's White Magician Femme archetrope is deeply tied to vir Chrisitan faith, and embodied in vir love of all people.
• Constructed Humanity: Why I term myself a human archetrope ⁠— Julian is human in the way that storytelling is human ⁠— not inherently so, but embedded in the messy context of human history and culture.
