Harmless fun with a meaning...
I am...beyond happy that I found this community. I've actually seen the TikTok floating around several times, but I just thought it was a joke. I'm really happy that it wasn't.
I've been sort of collecting gnomes for a few years. Have 4 currently (3.5, really. I move one and he'll crumble. Going to have to be creative with patching him.)- I would have so many more, but I have to be a responsible grown up once in a while.
My husband laughed when I said I was joining, but...now I'm officially a spiritual advisor (minister sounds too....formal for my taste). And my pupper- she can't be a registered therapy dog like I was planning due to some lingering PTSD issues from a former neighbor's unleashed terrors dogs, but she is an ESA. And now she, too, is a spiritual advisor. Definitely fitting.
As for me- I am a nontheistic Satanic Gnomean, now. I'm all about the personal sovereignty, as well as the fellowship of all humans. This just...gave me happy brain tingles.
I am also AuDHD, and have symptoms of several other fun genetic conditions. I enjoy "going goblin mode" (that moment when austic overwhelm becomes the need to go get lost in the woods and come home with a pound of mushrooms and some only slightly gnawed on bones...). I'm (apparently) easy to talk to, and even strangers open up to me (maybe more than they should, but I don't judge).
Idk. I'm usually bad at intro type things. But...this is my start into embracing the Gnome side. 🖤
Any idea where to go from here 🤔 🤷🏽😁🍻
