Large cushions and comfortable rugs adorn the hardwood floor before the roaring hearth. Steam drifts from a freshly filled pot of tea. Stay a while, perhaps. [Mostly reblogs of art and other things I think are neat.]

devil's bargain; they will love you as a daughter, but it will be love.
Random character having a ciggy and tea break
Unitary File Serving System (UNISERVE) is the robot equivalent of a balding middle-aged coworker, but immortal and with a brain the size of a warehouse.
As you might already know, they are the curator of the Sunset System exhibit... and you're the visitor, just another machine on a mission.
Move swiftly through the undergrowth, protect your object of power on this journey and do not let the hunter catch your scent...

another day volunteering at the dragon aerie. everyone keeps asking me if they can fuck the guardian dragon. buddy, they wont even let me fuck it
The idea of dragons in modern times is so fun because imagine a hot summer day on your vacay and go to use the hotel pool and staff is like "valued guests we regret to inform you that the pool area is out of service at the moment, we apologize for the inconvenience"
And people like "wtf why" looking out their hotel room window and there's this. This dragon just curled up in the pool chilling, literally, cooling itself down
Some of the staff are trying to gently shoo him away and the dragon does a soft little "rrrrrr" like a grumpy cat and a warning puff of smoke and they're like "fuck it i don't get paid nearly enough for this" and no ones using the pool today sorry!
Idea: interspecies TF but it doesn't go like a werewolf movie, over in seconds or minutes, but like HRT.
Every morning you look in the mirror, pulling your mouth open to get a better look at your canines. Is it just you or are they a little bigger?
You turn your head sideways, seeing how much your face is stretching into a snout. You occasionally catch yourself looking at your hands, seeing how the skin on your palm is hardening into pawpads, how the tips of your fingers are stretching, your nails coalescing into claw tips.
You spend a while looking online at r/TFtimelines/, looking at other furries with a mix of envy and lust. God, you hope someday you can look a tenth as monstrous as them. You look up doctors in your area to see their ratings for bottom surgery (which is getting a tail), and wonder if your insurance will cover it.
It's not all physical changes, of course. You're noticing how your emotional state is shifting. You're staring at spreadsheets at work, in need of another coffee, and you have that thought again of just running into the woods. Your clothes seem tight and restrictive on you, and you know it had nothing to do with the fact you've gained 5 inches in height over the last year. It's more to do with feeling you shouldn't need to wear this business formal nonsense, you should be covered in fur and hanging out in the lonely woods, not in a crowded office moving numbers around for your boss.
Ugh, your fucking boss. It's getting harder to not listen to him talk without inadvertently thinking about what it'd feel like to rip his throat open with your teeth, and leave him as a warning for the others not to mess with the wolf...
Not that you'd ever do such a thing, of course... But those pills you're taking every morning have been waking up millions of years of instinct that are saying "this supposed leader is weak and ineffectual and doesn't deserve your loyalty. Kill him. Take his place, or his poor leadership will get you all killed when the winter comes."
You sigh, and keep typing on the keyboard. One day you'll come out to these anthrotypicals. You'll be recognized for the mighty wolf you are, and they'll stop treating you as just another human.
You make a note to email HR about that "I'm a human" CAPTCHA they put on the company's website. They don't know, of course, but they should be more considerate. Not everyone wearing a pantsuit and operating a boring Dell computer is a human, after all.
You glance at the clock and think about getting dinner once this slog is over. You'd been a vegetarian before starting your transition, but there's a new steakhouse that's opened up on your walk home, and every time you walk past it, you keep thinking about biting into a nice steak... Rare, of course. It's probably just the smell. You can smell so much better now, and from what you've heard from others, it's only going to get better.
Well, better is relative. You've learned the downside of having a better sense of smell. It's sometimes unbearable walking to work on Wednesday, when everyone has their bins out. So much rotting food and spoiled milk and bacteria festering in all those cans waiting for the trash trucks.
It gets better once you're in the office. The AC kills a lot of the smell. But now you can tell exactly how many days it has been since your coworkers have showered, and you'll never look at Simon from accounting the same way again.
And it was a bit of a faux pas (or should that be a faux paw, ha!) when you congratulated Cindy on the baby she was expecting... She hadn't told you yet. She hadn't told anyone yet, other than her spouse, but you forgot that it wasn't as obvious to everyone else.
You don't know how that can be overlooked (oversmelled?). The hormones are all different. Was there really a time in your life when you couldn't smell this? Huh. You can't remember anymore. This is your new normal. You've come farther than you think. You should have taken more pictures at the start, so you could compare them to now, but it was so hard to look at yourself then. You looked so... Human. Ugh.
It's getting easier to look at yourself in the mirror in the morning. Your fur is coming in. Your body is changing in so many ways. You're finally starting to look like you.

Haru and Makoto!!
Fursona appreciation post
the bird's name is Haru and the cat's name is Makoto if you wanted to know!
Just discovered while researching Blue Jays for a commission that due to climate change, the Blue Jays' range has been expanding... which has led to instances of hybridization with Steller's Jays as their ranges overlap??
Look at you!! You are so goddamn pretty and cute!?
if you ask me wizardry is about hubris.
wizardry is about someone who was once merely a man and now she's a vessel to insane cosmic power.
wizardry is about calling forth the demonic hands of Zulmanos to go put away your laundry because you can't be asked to do it and then getting shocked and annoyed when the foul miasma of the lower planes starts spawning imps in your changing room.
wizardy is about picking fights with dragons and kingdoms and small planets and having 50/50 odds of winning, or of your pathetic mortal frame pop like a fresh grape because you fucked up your defensive runes and now you're a smear of red wearing a very nice robe.
wizardry is the ultimate expression of human power, our ability to shape the world around us to suit our deep desires and our petty whims, and at the same time human weakness, both our physical vulnerability and the various foibles and quirks that make us make mistakes but also make us who we are.
its also about going "heehoo" and scuttling around your tower like a gecko.
