Okay! I'll give it a go =) I like tacos, I just literally never ever make them on my own.

Okay, weird question, but I haven't eaten at Taco Bell since I had the memory loss/stroke almost a decade ago. But there's one pretty close.

What's good there? If I were starving and tired coming home from the gym, what should I order?

Hey! I'm still sick, but it's getting a bit easier. Tomorrow is all doctors again, but Wednesday I'll be writing again. The sickness and everything has made it hard to get a feel for how I'm doing as a baseline, but it feels like I've gotten a bit better somehow. So we'll see =) How're you today?

Who's in charge of naming animals? I want to know why Simocyon was not named the Dire Red Panda. We're not using dire nearly often enough when we name large animals. And don't get me started on the giant hummingbird. We could've had the dire hummingbird!

The bad news is that there's an overcast and even though there are dozens of pelicans they're not feeding in focus distance. The good news is the overcast gives the IN FLIGHT BELTED KINGFISHER a really solid reflection on the water.

Cell edit. Better later. πŸ˜‡ πŸͺΆ

A montage of 4 autumn/halloween themed figures.  There is a skeletal dragon, a mimikyu with a pumpkin, an orange tabby cat with pumpkins, and a crow sitting atop a dragon skull.

Happy Autumn! I have opened preorders for a few autumn figures. These will be limited through October 15th. I also have glow in the dark Patch Cats that I will be adding in a few days.

Funnily enough, that would also make them a good candidate for gryphonification with the common poorwill, too, a bird that has a hibernation-like torpor state =)

Though... not nearly as cute as yours here!

I think my friends could safely assume it was πŸ™€ for me without looking and they would always be correct.

A pencil drawing showing a tiny Gryphon that is a mixture between a European Robin and a European Edible Dormouse, it has it's eyes closed and is relaxed.

Weekly Sketch #260 - 05th of October. This time I drew a new kind of cute and tiny Gryphon again, it's a European Robin - European Edible Dormouse - Gryphon (Rotkehlchen-SiebenschlÀfer-Greif in Deutsch), HUH, what a name 😁. #art #drawings #drawing #sketches #sketch #gryphons #gryphon #fantasy

I love that Cherine's nickname is The Pink Reeve's Daughter. He is my favorite damsel in distress.
