I found the wiring for the fediverse

You know the classic plot of a knight saving the princess from a dragon. But what if the princess deliberately ran to the dragon to get away from her family's harsh expectations of marriage and having kids, knowing that the dragon is the only one who would accept her for who she is, and that the dragon is in fact more capable of caring for her and protecting her than her own family. And also the royal family and the knight happen to know this so they try to paint the dragon as the evil one to justify what they're doing.

I just recently set up my own #NAS for the very first time!

I took an old laptop I had lying around and I rigged up my own SATA connectors to connect a pair of 2TB hard drives to its native SATA ports, with the OS (TrueNAS) being installed on a USB flash drive. It took HOURS of trial and error with different laptops, but I eventually got it to work.

I don't know why, but it's always the most generic "western" dragons that are the most appealing to me. Does anyone else feel this way?

Dragon need cuddle

Earlier today I went to my first ever convention (GalaxyCon in Oklahoma City) and got myself a couple things

Realized I still haven't posted about this here yet. This is Silence, a dragon puppet I bought a little over a year ago from a youtuber called Salmon Hood (extremely cool person btw). It's design is based off the warden from Minecraft, so it has no eyes, and relies on sound.

There's nothing I want more than to snuggle up close to a dragon, being wrapped firmly in a big scaly hug, feeling its warm scales, full of texture yet smooth, as well as its soft grumbly purrs.

Actually, I lied. There's one more thing I want more, and that's becoming a large dragon myself, that way not only do I get a body I'd be more comfortable with, I can give the experience described above to anyone else who desperately needs it.

Dragons are too precious not to protect at all costs

Yesterday I got some new dragons for my hoard

Here's a question for #dragons that's been sitting on my mind:

If someone were to refer to dragons as "beasts", do you find that derogatory? Or is it more complimentary to a dragon's identity?

#dragon

The large dragon looks at you with a perplexed expression. You're an atypical adventurer; the dragon cannot recall the last time anyone dared to show up without any weapons whatsoever, let alone asking for a "hug", of all things.

The dragon had barely even heard the concept of a hug before, but it does know the idea. You seem so kind and joyful too, how could it resist?

The dragon picks you up and brings you inside its den. It curls up on the ground while holding you to its chest and wrapping its forelegs and wings around you protectively, like the precious thing you are. It is relieved to finally not face violence for once.

I love the idea of big, menacing-looking dragons, with hatchlings that are so small, soft, helpless, and joyful. And the adult dragons still have at least a bit of that softness and joyfulness even when the world is hard on them and treats them like monsters.

Dragons. Dragons are on my mind. Thanks for asking.

@evgandr I'm very worried for you, especially after reading this post you recently boosted. You're such a cool dragon, I'd really hate to lose contact with you. I hope you're able to still find a way around this bs. :dragnheart:

Imagine, as a dragon, turning into a human form for a bit to troll your dragon friends

Anthro or feral dragon?

I need a big, feral dragon to curl up around me while I sleep, let me nestle up to the warmth and delightful texture of its scales, let me feel its slow and gentle breathing, while I offer what little love and assurance I can for a dragon that's probably only ever seen violence from others in its life.
