Dear Domestic Dragon Trust,
I’m an autistic adult considering getting my first service dragon. Before I make the commitment, though, I have a question about their care that I’d like to ask to ensure I’m equipped to provide them with a healthy and happy life.
I live with my parents, who are separated, and generally go back and forth between their houses every two weeks or so. Would this be a problem for a dragon, from either a territory/stability or a horde perspective? If so, are there steps that could be taken to mitigate this, or is it a dealbreaker?
I’ve been doing my research, of course, and I’ve read a bit about helping dragons cope with a move, but I haven’t seen this issue addressed specifically. Of course, I would never want to bring a dragon into a situation that would cause them serious or prolonged distress of any sort, and I’m happy to look into alternative possibilities for either my support needs or my schedule of time at each house if my current situation wouldn’t allow a dragon to thrive.
Thank you so much for your time! I really appreciate the work you do. Best!

Hello!
Thank for reaching out to us, we're happy to help. Exactly what service dragon best suits you, of course depends on what kind of support you would like them to provide. But considering your housing situation we recommend looking into adopting the smallest breed of domesticated dragon: the pocket dragon!
When bonded to a human they tend to spend as much time with them as possible and they love riding in pockets, hand bags, or hoods. Traveling between houses won't be a problem with a pocket dragon, because they will consider you their home.
When it comes to hoards pocket dragons tend to focus on small items and do not need a great many of them to thrive. They do tend to have a particular comfort-hoarding item that they should not be separated from, like a favourite button. But these are usually small enough to carry with you, just like the dragon.
Of course some people require larger dragons as their service animal. A pocket dragon won't be able to physically guide a human, for instance. But if you are looking for an emotional support animal with a talent for enforcing self care, you really cannot do better!
You can read more about this specific breed in our publications on their characteristics and their talents as service dragons. But you are always welcome to make an appointment to drop by for some information!
Best wishes,
~ The Domestic Dragon Trust

Hello! The submissions page won’t open, so I’m sending this lovely friend (found in Western Oregon) as an ask. Any idea what kind of friend they are? Thank you!
Sure, she's a pigeon horntail, which is a hymenopteran related to sawflies, and more distantly to wasps and bees. They don't sting!

Mag 79 has the distinction of being the only TMA episode (in the first four seasons, I didn’t listen to s5) that caused me to awkwardly pat my phone in a futile but sincere attempt to comfort the very distressed voice coming from it… I’ve done that on the phone with friends many times but this is the only time I’ve done it for a fictional character. Jon motormouthing to the tape and telling the others to get as far away as they can because he is 100% convinced (with good reason!) that he’s about to die and doesn’t want what happened to him to happen to anyone else is what did it 😭
He’s so good 😭

Thanks @albatris for the idea, from this post!
The post has links to two photoshop design files for making one of these, but if you're like me and don't have photoshop, I spent WAY too much time making a Canva version (uses all free elements, I don't have pro) and here's a locked version of the template! Feel free to make a copy and use it for your own WIPS!
(Yes, I couldn't resist the nod to the fact that this is set in the same universe as a couple of my other projects with some 'guest stars' from Magic & Silver)

WIP title ask game
Thank you @telegraphavekiss for tagging me in this! I don't have a WIP folder but I DO have some very silly google docs titles.
Rules: Post the names of all the files in your WIP folder, regardless of how non-descriptive or ridiculous. Let people send you an ask with the title that most intrigues them, and then post a little snippet or tell them something about it! and then tag as many people as you have WIPs.
The Confidential Fic
AUrora
RWD Robot Gender
Lovecraft & Leathermouth
Single Dad Finbar
Vampire Office AU
Spiral Essay
With No Home to Return To
Weremouse AU
Killjoy Division
Anthony Telepathy Fic
Secret Mission Puppyverse
more puppyverse ig
So many of these have been abandoned or are on indefinite hiatus (mostly the ones from half-retired fandoms) but if they get interest I might start them back up!
I do NOT know which of y'all write fanfic to tag as many as I have WIPs but I'll nominate @catwingsathena, @caliburn-not-calculator, @shadow-and-purgatory, @kathbunny and anyone else who wants to participate!

8, 13, 25:)
(in response to this ask game)
8. tag someone (or multiple people) who make you feel good.
Hmm... it would have to be @fourwingedsnake @catwingsathena and @writingphoenix! <3
13. what’s your comfort food?
Ooooo I love chicken tikka masala with rice! I have a recipe to make the sauce from scratch but there's this one jar brand from the store that I really like whose name currently escapes me.
25. what’s the best personal gift someone could give you (playlist, homemade card, etc.)
Definitely something handmade, doesn't matter what it is, because it showed that the giver put time and energy into making this thing for me.

Dear @catwingsathena,
Thank you for sending in an application to be matched with one of our service dragons! Your needs and preferences suggest that a slightly older dragon would probably suit you best. A juvenile is easier to train for specific tasks, but a little less predictable and would also be more work for you. Right now we have two dragons in our training program that might be a good match:
Philly, a very steady, flightless dragon that weighs about 5 kilo's. She ended up in our shelter because her wings are no longer able to support her and we started training her when we noticed how clever and social she is. We are confident that she will be able to give all the assistance you need, including guarding the showers while you are in it. But while she is also very cuddly, she's not really playful. She's rather serious for a dragon and tends to ignore other animals.
Bagel, a rare crossbreed between what we guess must have been a common pocket dragon and a freshwater dragon. She adores water and is very curious and affectionate, also towards other pets. None of your requirements should give her any trouble, but we do think you might need to give her her own bracelet to hoard for herself, or she might try to keep yours.
If either or both of those sound like a good fit to you, we'd love for you to come to the shelter some day soon to meet them. It's a cliché, but the dragon really does pick the owner, and it's hard to tell what personality suits you best until you're face to shout with them!
~ The Domestic Dragon Trust
PS. We have enclosed your application form below.
Service Dragon Application Form
Size: I would prefer a dragon on the larger side of the pocket dragon size range—large enough to cuddle properly and be a pleasant weight on my lap (if I’m sitting up) or chest (if I’m lying down), but not so heavy that walking around with them in a cross-body messenger bag would be cumbersome or hard on my shoulders. Maybe roughly rabbit-sized?
Skills: the primary supports I would need from a service dragon are self-care reminders and light assistance, primarily with meals, meds, and showers. I struggle enough with showers that it might be useful for me to have a dragon who enjoys playing in water enough to want to get in the shower with me, but if that’s not possible, hanging out just outside the curtain and making reassuring sounds would be more than satisfactory. It would also be very helpful if my dragon could bring my migraine rescue meds when needed, encourage me to get up and stretch my legs if I’ve been at the computer too long, and/or pester me into eating and drinking water if I haven’t in a while. I don’t have nightmares terribly often (maybe twice a month on average, these days), but when I do I would greatly appreciate it if my dragon could wake me up. I’d also appreciate if they could grab my medical ID bracelet if I leave it on my bed or try to leave the house without it.
Personality: as I mentioned before, a cuddly dragon is a must. An ability to tolerate or even enjoyment of water would be helpful, for both shower purposes and because I live in an area with a lot of rain and like to go walking in it. Still, while playfulness is nice and an interest in finding things would be very helpful, I think I would do better with a fairly calm, laid-back dragon. My sleep schedule is very erratic (not because of when I go to bed or get up, just insomnia), so I would need a dragon who won’t be bothered by me being awake for hours in the middle of the night and getting up or turning on lights—the ability to nap when an opportunity presents itself might help, and I’d like it if they could sometimes hang out on my bed with me while I’m writing or resting (preferably without interfering with my typing too much).
Living Situation: I go back and forth between two houses approximately every other week. Both houses have at least one cat, and one of the houses also has a small dog (who is never allowed in my room, where I spend most of my indoor time). I spend long stretches of time walking around the block or going on the swingset at the park, and I love being outside in the rain. I also spend a lot of time sitting in my bed—it’s where I do most of my reading and writing, as well as resting. I have a part-time job to which I probably couldn’t bring my dragon for a variety of reasons, but my shifts are 4 hours, so I won’t be away too long.

I got tagged by @catwingsathena, thanks for the tag! :D
Last song listened to: “STILL HERE (harsh sun version)” by DM DOKURO. The lyrics are really dark, but the song itself goes hard. Also I just think Solaria SynthV is really neat. Nine minutes of angry screaming go brrrrrr
Last TV/movie watched: Resistance: 1942 for movie night with my mom and sibling (it was free and my sibling is really into history). My sibling pointed out that Jacques sounds a bit like Jonathan Sims, especially in the bits of the movie where he’s broadcasting himself on the radio, so now Cary Elwes is my headcanon voice for Not!Jon. Also poor Juliet, imagine losing both of your father figures in a single night.
Current obsession: The Magnus Archives and horror podcasts in general! I signed up for two podcast Big Bang events, and I’m also working on a TMA Post-Canon Animatic where Jon, Martin, and Annabelle make it to Somewhere Else, but Jon doesn’t survive the journey, Annabelle is abandoned by the Web, and Martin is alone and broken and angry. The whole thing is just an excuse for me to draw unhinged Martin.
Tagging @bog-teeth, @foxtrotsicrra, @theclod3215, @hawkfurze, and @we-be-me!

@catwingsathena​ submitted: This lovely little friend was found in southern California in July! I don’t know much about snail species, so I’d love an ID if that’s possible, but mostly I just wanted to share :)
What a perfect and precious snail! Really nice eye stalks. I’m afraid I don’t recognize the species, though.

Oooooooooh, what's Memento Mori about? :0 👀👀
~ M <3
Tumblr media
Memento Mori is (not surprisingly) an au focused on Graham and Oliver. Oliver moves into a new flat as his life falls apart, not looking into the history. It doesn’t take long for him to see a transparent figure of a man in his living room. He’s now forced to learn how to live with a very talkative ghost named Graham only he and one other can see and who has a habit of stealing antiques.
Bonus, bc @catwingsathena also asked about it, have a little bit I’ve written.
-
“So no one can hear you?” Oliver asked on their way home. Holding a bag of groceries Graham had made him buy. Why Oliver took orders from a ghost, seemingly unhappy with the food previously in the kitchen, he didn’t know. Not like it was the most important part. Oliver had apparently made himself look like a fool by asking the air what type of cereal he would buy.
“Not to my knowledge.”
“And no one can see you?” He took a quick look around. A feeling of being watched settled over him as he turned the corner.
“No. Well. I think Amy can see me. She’s a neighbour across the street, watched me from her flat thinking I wouldn’t know-“ Oliver stopped and looked at Graham, who just continued forwards “-She tried to convince the previous owners. Didn’t work and was told to stop it or the police would be called for harassment- hey, where did you go?”

My sister puts glasses away upside down.
Because our mother does,
Because her mother did,
Because her mother lived through the Dust Bowl.
One day my father sat me down and told me about epigenetics.
How the trauma he went through
As a child in an abusive home
Wrote itself into his DNA
And, in turn, into mine.
How he and his brothers,
In various ways,
Are all sick from it.
How I might be too, someday,
And I’m not sure I’m not.
I hear people say,
When will we get back to normal?
And I think of a woman born in the twenty-first century
Who puts her glasses away differently
Because of what her great-grandmother endured
Ninety years before.
