I actually painted a notebook cover for it. I don't share my art often but it turned out okay so...

I'm Drako. Links to my Ao3 and other socmed here: drak0nis.neocities.org/links. The fursona is a striped hyena. I aggressively mute/block, and I don't follow back. Posts and shares may be NSFW or generally crude, and most of my writing is intended for adults. AI use is a block on sight.
My fursona: a striped hyena with a spiky mohawk, her fur in shades of grey.

I've also been gardening and watching the birds around the neighbourhood but that's hardly new. dog tax. I think that's everything worth saying.

current drama in the family group chat is my mothers announcement that the dog found a rabbit nest in the backyard complete with pictures I won't post here because they will probably upset some people here is my dog. she is a terrier mix. you can draw your own conclusions.

added a labeller that tells you how active someone has been in the past few days and it's a really good way to evaluate whether someone is either in desperate need of logging off and reacquainting with grass, or a bot

if I ever reply to a comment on ao3 or say something here like "x project is basically already written, I'll start updating it again some time!" it's because all my fics look like this up until the minute they're ready to be posted and I hate the paper to digital transition more than I can describe

surprisingly entertaining books. I feel like that roger ebert review of the mummy when I talk about them. I don't think they're very good. they're not especially well written. but damn if they aren't an entertaining way to pass an afternoon
There is within me an unslaked hunger for preposterous adventure movies. I resist the bad ones, but when a “Congo” or an “Anaconda” comes along, my heart leaps up and I cave in. “The Mummy” is a movie like that. There is hardly a thing I can say in its favor, except that I was cheered by nearly every minute of it. I cannot argue for the script, the direction, the acting or even the mummy, but I can say that I was not bored and sometimes I was unreasonably pleased. There is a little immaturity stuck away in the crannies of even the most judicious of us, and we should treasure it.

I really like posca markers but they're kind of dog ass to use on even really good paper. however, I remembered there is a massive pile of river rock near my back gate that we unearthed from the garden last spring so I guess i have 100s of free canvases to become the kind of person who paints rocks

Ferris wheel press and esterbrook are both overpriced trash and together they can create the world's most cynical moneygrab scam. 550? get out of here. you can probably find or commission a better looking better made pen from an indie pen turner for a fraction of that price

well, as of last night I'm trying to reconstruct it more like how I write my current long fic projects which makes them easy to resume even if I leave them for long breaks. and thankfully I had just filled all but that last couple pages of a notebook with ch 78 so I can start fresh with a new one

personally I think it's important to have an enriching variety of reading material
currently I am reading the first translated volume of Grandmaster of demonic cultivation by mo Xiang tong xiu and also Cormac McCarthy's the road, which probably cover the two most opposite ends of fiction possible

playing FFXIV on a Linux PC with a controller, xivlauncher/dalamud, and reshade is a really interesting way to learn how to troubleshoot tech issues. after an hour of troubleshooting would you like to guess why I couldn't open map or subcommands.

our vet loves to tell me that I have "a very healthy dog with a powerful heart" and I'm like yeah I know it powers her alright she never stops. he neglects to comment on the crying she does nonstop at the vet though, I guess because at least she isn't biting, just yelling

found on eBay under my saved search for fountain pens located in Canada only
eBay entry for a "misshapen dorito, looks like a tree and a squid  it's sweet chili heat." it's does kind of look like that, I guess.

it is fifty Canadian dollars plus ten dollars shipping.

in case you are wondering how Canada has responded to the massive popularity of one of our own in the form of heated rivalry
picture of an anguished werewolf captioned "we are sold out of the gay hockey books"

my response: come to (redacted) indigo you would not BELIEVEEEEEE how many were set up at the end caps of every aisle, at every cash register, right as you walk into the store.......... at every step you could pick up a copy of heated rivalry and casually read about a hockey player getting sucked off crazy style

this is the biggest a Canadian author has been since margaret Atwood and a thousand times less depressing

you truly can just go into any bookstore around here and pick up some gay porn right there in front of god and everyone and no one cares. the think of the children crowd must be shitting themselves dry
