Editing Visceral Knot (section)

== Knotted People ==
<blockquote>''Main Articles: [[Aware]], [[Crossed]], [[Denizen]], [[Oddfolk]], [[Other]]<nowiki/>s''</blockquote>Sometimes termed just the Knotted. If generations of people come and go within a stable Knotted Place, they will generally become knotted and adapted to that environment, becoming [[Oddfolk]].<ref>Oddfolk (that Bristow called Subhumans) come about when generations come and go in a knotted space, adapting to that peculiar environment. These knots are almost always stable. Not a concern for Kennet, but good to touch bak on.<br><br>Other types of Other that tread very close to being human, may spontaneously manifest, change from regular people to Others as the area changes, or migrate in as a knotted location (esp. endgame type knots like Zed listed) sets up. There are subtypes of these guys for each type of knot, including knots Zed didn’t get into. Some knots are unstable and their inhabitants may recognize this instinctively, living in kind, like we all might live if we thought the Earth was going to get hit by an asteroid tomorrow. - [https://palewebserial.wordpress.com/2021/07/15/12-7-spoilers-knots-depressions/ Bonus: Knots & Depressions]</ref> This can also happen if the generations themselves are knotted and twisted in on themselves, with incest and isolation, and/or radically unusual lifestyle and diet, usually with magical influence involved. Some can become knotted and stabilized, some will stay unstabilized.<ref>“When you have a knotted place, it’s not ever evenly ''knotted,'' and you can have fluid areas and hard areas, high-energy areas and there’s a whole bunch of sub-classifications.”[...]“They’re fluid, it’s like how some people will get weird in Kennet below, like the Bitter Street Witch, but these guys ride that hard, they’re always in flux!  Super cool.” - [https://palewebserial.wordpress.com/2023/01/10 Excerpt] from [[Hard Pass 22.7]]</ref>
