Been sitting with this for a bit, still not entirely sure how to respond. I do want to thank you for sharing something so highly personal.

This is the first time I've really run into the archetrope concept, much less seen a specific example laid out in depth.

It does make me wonder what common ground might be found between this and someone who identifies as a minotaur in a more traditional otherkin sense. For example, someone who believes they have memories of having lived as a minotaur. Perhaps it would depend, in part, on whether they felt a connection to being a minotaur, or to the Minotaur—Asterion himself?

I'm curious how you see the relationship between archetrope identity and other forms of nonhuman identification.
