Sincerely, your fellow flying creature, Cadence ^w^

Edit: Just took a few more flights (and I'm gonna be taking more over the summer :]) so here, have some (1 for now cuz I'm on mobile, but there'll be more once my computer charges) more!

Pros:

Having opposable thumbs is nice

I can eat foods that my theriotypes can’t eat (like chocolate, grapes, alliums, and citruses)

I can communicate with my family and friends easily

I can read, write, and draw

Cons:

My stamina is terrible

I’m not very flexible

I have no ear mobility

No tail :(

I have no fluffy fur to keep me warm and express myself

To add, I also have no scales

My teeth aren’t sharp

I have no claws to scratch things

I can’t vocalize properly like my theriotypes

I can’t fly and have no big wings

I can’t climb things very well

My senses are dull compared to my theriotypes

Have to go to school

Have to pay taxes

Have to get a job

Have to deal with capitalism and bigotry

I have boobs :(

Have to deal with body dysphoria

didn't take more pictures of the first shelf at the time, but i'll probably post more in-depth about it later!

and as a bonus: my favourite dragon necklace!!

I think what i really want in a dragon survival multiplayer game would be monster hunter : now you're the dragon. It's probably... too much to ask of indie game devs, honestly, but the idea of a game where you have the kind of attacks the beasts in monster hunter do, with the same kind of timings as how you play the hunter in the game, would feel GREAT when throwing down w/ another player in another beast. Just turf wars but both monsters are players. Hunting involves also using ur skills to defeat the smaller monsters to eat, be it by being undetected until you're sure to get it in one go, through traps, or whatever else.

I didn't really know what otherkin meant or that there was a whole non human community at the time, and the confusion and shame my one interaction gave me put the thought out of my mind

Now I don't know what my actual label or identity is, it's not a spiritual thing or even really mental or physical, it's not a strong feeling or shifting thing

I just know I feel more like an dog, that when my joints or other chronic pain flares up a small part of feels like if I could just shift the way they connect it be better, like they hurt because my body is begging for that change

I know I want my room to be a den, dark and warm and comfy and safe, someplace I can keep my horde and pack safe, that I want a pack and feel connected to people much more like a pack then "normal" human feelings
