      Yeah! There's phytanthrope/plantkin for people who feel they're plants, and objects usually just fall under objectkin!

      Darahagh, the oak phytanthrope, in our system has been revamping his personal essay about his experiences. He's not done yet but its already over 14,000 words long. Good grief dude.

      Phytanthropy is really interesting to me- how did you figure out you're a phytanthrope, if I may ask? I know a lot of therianthropes and otherkin figure it out from feelings and instincts, but does that apply to phytanthropy?
