For The Different

Welcome

You crossed the threshold.

A misty stone staircase lined with moss and glowing fairy lights ascends through a forested threshold. Two weathered stone pillars with lanterns flank the steps, connected by a chain. A wooden sign on the left pillar reads ‘You Are Unwelcome.’ At the base of the steps, a small gold counter-clockwise spiral emblem rests on the path.

This isn’t a place for the well-behaved,

the well-rested, or the well-adjusted.


It’s for the ones who’ve always felt wrong somehow,
different in ways the world doesn’t know how to hold.

There is no fixing or smoothing your edges.

No pretending you’re not made of sparks and strangeness.

This isn’t about obedience or becoming palatable.

This is a sanctuary for the real and the raw.

Home of Archetypes For The Different™
Archetypes, stories, and magic,
woven to help you stay intact in a world that asks you to splinter.

If you have ever felt unwelcome, you’ve found your way home.

Here you get to be who you are.

Reverse gold spiral symbol — representing the threshold turned inward.
