we've never related to the sentiment of the host being seen as "more real" because or host isnt. like. seen at all. even when we tell people about it. our current host is just as "weird" as the rest of us and ever since our first host, they all have been. i dont know where im going with this. i just see it spread around so much, "the host is always treated as the real one" when that just isnt true for us. he's ignored more than anyone else actually. because he isnt what people think our host "should" be (fictive, nothing like the body, not the 'original'). i just wonder how both in and out of the community, the idea of what a "host" is has transformed into so much more than what the role entails in itself.
