I don’t want to derail the topic, I gotta add something Wayhaven related… oh!
Do you think F would be confused by movies with animals that want to become human? Like Princess and the Frog.

F: But they’re already humans?
Everyone: [groans]
God. Imagine F is just trolling everyone. They know exactly the differences between humans and animals, they just like to see everyone squirm. It’s why F and M are such good friends.

It would be in character, but Seraphinite said that they don’t know the difference…just like…she said they only knew English…

Gotta imagine they are oddly okay with it. Sometimes your body doesn’t match your soul and you gotta go on a quest.

…are you…implying…that Sera’s trolling us? Because I would love her anyway.
[gasp] That’s true.
If anything, F is probably like,
F: Ooooh, so when can I go on an adventure in the Lousiana bayou??
Tina: Aren’t you from there?
A: [sweats nervously]

I think F thinks that different animals are just… different types of Earthlings.
Like, vampires, werewolves, fae, demons are all different types of Echolians. Cows, humans, cats, dogs, birds are all different types of Earthlings. You wouldn’t treat a vampire and a demon differently so why would F treat a cat different than a human?

Look, I live with an author. I see their thought process. They can and will troll you. They can’t help it.
N, our resident research expert, could jump in with: “They’re from the uplands.”

It was supposed to just be an off-hand joke, but they never quite were able to stop going.
If you've ever read the reddit potato story you can probably just skip this
Editing part of this.
Let me tell you that I have made a bad mistake this evening.
My bestfriend (who let me tell you is only my 2nd bestfriend of all time) said I am “invited to dinner” with them and their team. I was very aghast, nervous, and bashful to be invited to such a situation. But I knew it must be done.
I met them nicely, I should tell you, and it started off in a good way. The idea slapped my mind that I should do a comic bit, to make a good impression and become known to them as a person who is amusing.
When I saw that one of the team members were human I got the idea that it would be very good if I pretended I did not know what a human was. That would be funny.
Well let me tell you: backfired on my face. I’ll tell you how.
So first when the human shook my hand, I acted very interesting. I showed an expression on my face so as to seem that I was confused, astounded but in a restrained way, curious, and interested. They did notice, and seemed confused, but did not remark. So I asked “This looks very interesting. What is this?”
They stared at me and the Commander said “It’s a human.” And I was saying “Oh, interesting, a …what is it again?”
And she was like “A human.”
And I was like “A ‘human’, oh interesting. Never heard of a human, looks pretty good.”
And then they didn’t see I was clowning, but thought I really did not know what is a human. So I knew I would be very shamed, humiliated, depressed, and disgusted if I admitted to making a bad joke, so what I did was to act as if it was not a joke but I committed to the act of pretending I didn’t know what a human is.
They asked me, VERY incredulous, did I really not know what a humanis? That I never heard of a human in all my time at the agency. I went with it and told them, yes, I did not ever even hear of a human. Not only had I never seen a human, I had never heard the word human.
This went on for a bit and my bestfriend was acting very confused and embarrassed by my “fucked up antics”, and then the more insistent I was about not knowing what a human is was when them team members starting thinking I DID know what a human was.
Well let me tell you I had to commit 100% at this point. When I would not admit to knowing what a human was, N especially began to get annoyed. At one point they said something like “Enough is enough. You’re messing with us. Admit it.” And I said “Agent, before today I never heard of a human. I still don’t know what a human is, other than some kind of animal. I don’t know what to tell you.”
Well let me tell you they got very annoyed. I decided to take a sniff of the human, and when I did I made a high pitched noise and said “Smell’s very strange!”
That is when the Commander started yelling at me, and N kept saying “What are you doing?” and M went to some other room.
