Stormy

Such things should be beyond a hatchling’s care, but this shy little dragon took note.

I hope he finds his spark again and comes out to play.

A shy and gentle dragon, his heart mutely pleads with the world, silent against the cacophony of the new normal.

Silent to those he once called friends - who cheered on as empathy became sin, and gleefully cut the nets supporting them while leopards circled below.

He was never the most outgoing hatchling, but never quite so withdrawn. Undoubtedly, he’s upset and confused; someone who took the lessons of Star Trek and Sesame Street to heart simply cannot reconcile the values he cherishes against the reality he is surrounded by.

As I reflect late at night in a tiny red corner of Texas, it occurs to me that my inner little has been quiet for quite some time now.

Thank You @marcimcadam.bsky.social for the incredible badge, as always ^^

Really struggling to understand how shining a standard powered laser pointer at the floor for suiters and other attendees to play “kitty catch the laser” is against con rules, but alas..

It’s been tons of fun at TFF otherwise!

A big thank you to everyone who has made this convention possible :3

Ah, the classic blunder of attending a con without a guiding extrovert strikes again

For several years now, I've buried myself in work, neglecting the fun and friends that make life worth living.

I've never been much of a New Year's Resolution type, but here's to being a bit less adult, and a bit more bab (send help pls)

Happy New Year everyone :3
