Why do you think you tend towards that type particularly?
Mine were psychic but I always loved ghost (particularly Gengar -> fucking bad ass) and Dragon(ite). I do really feel a strong affinity to Fairy (no jokes please) because they seem to resonate with me as joy and antifragillity embodied.
It low-key viscerally hurts me every time a Fairy-type Pokémon gets poisoned/burnt/paralyzed/KO'd. I feel like they represent ourselves as we were and could return to being in the face of the fact we're all poisoned and hurt by the world in various twisted ways.
Nonetheless, I genuinely believe that the goodness inherent to our essence is conserved and made latent rather than corrupted per se.
