Might I be able to ask about your Mew paraarchetype? I... believe we do remember what a paratype is, and we do know what an archetype is, but I'm very curious about this, myself. - Art
Of course!
So, to give a small recap, a paratype is
an identity facet that only exists in relation to a preestablished identity - Quoted from Defining Paratypes - Once and For All
Mew fits several tropes and roles that I find myself would "fit right in" so to speak.
As a folcinteric dragon that has sort of divinity, I find Mew's mythical/little l legendary status reflecting back to me. Powerful, but not to the level where you think of gods and final bosses.
I identify as a chaotic neutral with a good lean sort of creature, and what I view Mew as within the world of Pokémon.
Because of that alignment, I'm a mischievous entity at times--which is Mew's role, curious, just testing things out, playful, but not harmful.
Key side character and secret unlock. Well, I suppose I'm not that much of a secret unlock, but I do feel like a relevant side character. Mew in anime comes to mind.
I'm a shapeshifter, which Mew is an archetype of.
Of course, I may be stretching some a little, and it is all purely based on what I perceive Mew's narrative roles and archetype to be. But because of these facts put together, I find the whole of Mew an archetrope that only happens because of my own draconity. And therefore, it is a paratype-archetrope, or I shorten it to paraarchetrope.
