yeah, it was the same for me. its all so dumb, most people in the position that i was in before i got the job ive got now just end up dead in a ditch somewhere. and no matter how hard i work, obviously i know that wouldnt have ever meant anything if i didnt majorly luck out on top of that
I was able to attain my position because I understand the importance of power and how to cultivate it - but I only received the basic chance to leverage any power at all because I happen to have been born blond.
It never stops feeling like a joke that that's what made the difference.
man what the hell kind of fucked up situation did you find yourself in that hair color meant life or death?? i mean i know in some parts of the world they still throw out babies with the wrong hair or eyes, but, like. yikes
....... well. i mean. it was life or death when my eyes started glowing too, but that was also stupid, and nobody ever complained they were yellow. so whatever

cw for implied child abuse, he won't say more than this tho
Ah, no. I'd have lived whether or not my hair was the color that it is - but it was blond hair that lifted me from the gutter, for whatever that was worth.
My adoptive father has strong aesthetic preferences - and I made sure to be the most capable blond boy around.
Your eyes glow?
Re: cw for implied child abuse, he won't say more than this tho
no offense but that guy sounds like a piece of shit
uh. yeah, they glow kinda like embers, ever since a while ago. its cause im not totally human, like i said before, but i dont know what the other thing that i am is at this point
im still trying to figure it out, so i can start getting the stupid side effects under control. the story goes that my mom had a one night stand with some out-of-town-er passing through, and even if she knew anything about him, nobody was exactly in the mood to ask after she messed around with a stranger and got knocked up unmarried. and since she died the same night i was born, im shit out of luck
im pretty confident though that whoever my dad is, this is from his side of the family tree. my relatives that i know of have all been normal and in a little village like where im from everybody talks, and some not-evil wizard i know that felt like being helpful was able to confirm that its not because of anything ive done in a past life. so its gotta be his fault, wherever he is

Were you born half-human, as a result of mixed relations? Or is this something that happened to you later in life?

I hope your eyes lead you to him eventually, so you can give him a piece of your mind if nothing else.
