You know how we like put shoes on ants right feet and it makes them go around in circles because they don't understand what's going on. Like "Normally when I walked like this I get home just fine "

Now That's a fun curse

Seems almost Fey.

As you walk home your mind drifts to thoughts of what you want to do when you're home. And of your previous battles, you walk the path that you've walked everyday since your childhood.... You end up miles to the West

It mises the "good enough" human approximations of the "true names" when the latter is impossible for humans to pronounce: it doesn't have to be the exact correct pronunciation. If the Ants can't make the -lk- or -nt- sounds of my screen name and chant "Lennivekat", It's close enough that I get they mean me. I might try to teach them the correct pronunciation, then probably give up and ask what they actually want.

It's like that movie vivarium or the show from, you keep driving trying to leave but keep passing the same houses after hours of trying

honestly i feel like an even more fey curse would be always ending up only slightly to the left of where you intended, cursed to never enter a doorway successfully.
