ROUND 1: PART 3

Propaganda under cut

Unnamed Young Dragon

● The grandchild of the King of the dragons, this dragon has not yet decided their gender/name

Caden Bryce

● Caden is not only canonically gay and a dragon, but is the soulmate of Valerius, the King of Dragons. In a world of shifters Caden is the 9th dragon shifter to appear in a world with 8 dragon shifters who have divided up and rule the world. Valerius at first believes him to be invading his territory after Caden stops a terrorism bombing and instead of dying he becomes a dragon shifter. Caden is kind and caring, always choosing to save others and attempting to end conflicts through peaceful means. Caden does not want the responsibility which comes with being a dragon shifter but eventually realizes he can use his new influence for good.

In this world shifters exist via animal spirits who bond with humans, granting them immortality and the ability to shift into their bonded animals, among other abilities. Caden is bonded to Iolare, the white dragon, who he can communicate with internally. Iolare has ice ability along with the ability to force other dragon shifters back into their human forms. Another ability is being able to telepathically communicate with Valerius, his soulmate, across any distance in human or dragon form. Valerius and Iolare are not the only soulmates as their dragon spirits Raziel and Iolare, respectively, are also soulmates.

Ever Dark - Chapter One (Playlist here) by Raythe Reign

I recently found the podcast/audiobook called Ever Dark on Spotify recently and I wanted to share it here cause I'm IN LOVE! Not only is all the main characters and couples M/M, but it includes vampires, unique storylines and absolutely delicious smut scenes that are like *chef's kiss*! <3 I can't believe there aren't more mentions about this audiobook on tumblr, so I thought I'd share! The R rated scenes are pay only, but I totally paid lol cause~ y'know, I wanted the full experience HAH! And the actors' voices are amazing, fits so well! <3 Definitely recommend!!!

Yearly Book Wrap-Up 2023

This is my first time posting on here when it comes to anything personal or related to my interests. Considering this was a big year for me, not only in books but in other areas of life as well, I figured I'd share my book-wrap up for this year.

Ever since finishing my bachelors degree I'd started on my book journey once again. While it had continued during college, it never really felt the same, not until I had graduated. Slowly, year by year, I started to read more book. It had begun to feel how it felt in high school, constantly reading and enjoying myself as I did so.

This year's goal for me was: 40 Books

This year's read count: 55 Books!

I surpassed my goal by 15 books, an achievement I never imagined I would reach. This year I truly felt I was a voracious reader and I could not be any happier.

Under the cut you'll find the books I read this year in order, along with my rating. No reviews as I like to move on to the next book. But if anyone has any question or wishes to talk feel free to on this post in any way or my asks are also open. I hope other's can findthis post for their own enjoyment as well.

Without further ado -

But…

[the-poetic-mothman]

denali: he/him, raccoon shifter, PI, works closely with Valerius and Caden, has a cat and a dog, very quiet, prefers night, has been around since greek times, likes reading, mlm, works out, rides a motorcycle.

backstory for whomever is interested:

one day a young boy was running through his town, running errands for the townsfolk to deliver things for shopkeepers. he found some bread and ate it, it was on the ground by a bin. he heard a voice in his head and assumed it was just a god, his body then felt off and he was suddenly smaller. he looked down and he had grey legs? he ran. he ran and didn’t stop, something was terribly wrong and. when he finally stopped he was lost, he prayed to pan to help him home. he never got help. he soon transformed back, he was struggling to breathe, he was naked, lost, scared, and tired.

years later, he heard about a man who suddenly became a big black dragon, he went to help him. they grew close over the years and he was known as an ally to all new shifters, and during the war, he was neutral and helped get people safe.

then caden came along, he was a regular for a few years at the emporium before he got to busy and stopped going.

this is an oc for a mlm or m/m book called Dragon’s Reign by X. Aratare, if you want to read it she/they (couldn’t find pronouns) has a podcast that i’d recomend reading:)

ROUND 2: PART 2

Propaganda under cut

King Valerius (Dragon's Reign by Raythe Reign/X. Aratare)

• King Valerius is the King of all dragons and first dragon shifter in this world. Valerius bonded to his dragon, Raziel, thousands of year ago during a war when his own brother was killed before his eyes. Raziel the dragon bonded with Valerius to allow him to avenge his brother. Valerius remained isolated for many years, preferring to be alone until forced to come out of hiding after the truth about the existence of shifters was revealed to the world and became a reluctant King. Valrius does not much want to rule, yet still cares for those under his protection. Meeting his soulmate Caden, ninth dragon shifter and the white dragon, changed his outlook on life. Helping him to not be as grumpy and to take a more active role in ruling.

Similarly to Caden, Valerius is immortal and able to shift into his dragon form via Raziel, his dragon spirit. Valerius is the black dragon and has the breathe abilities of all the other dragon shifters such as fire, poison, lightning, energy, lava, and more. He is also able to internally communicate with Raziel and telepathically communicate with Caden, his soulmate, across any distance in human or dragon form. Valerius and Iolare are not the only soulmates as their dragon spirits Raziel and Iolare, respectively, are also soulmates.

Whiptail lizard (Real Life)

●this particular species of lizard is the gayest thing in the animal kingdom.

-they are all female and reproduce asexually

-but still have been seen performing mating rituals with other female lizards, and are more likely to reproduce if they do this.

-they exist in real life like that’s so incredibly gay

-no male lizards whatsoever and thus all of them are lesbians

-also so incredibly lizard adorable like look one up

Ever Dark Trans fic

Here's a fic for Ever Dark that I had mid way through chapter 58 had to immediately stop reading and go write this.

Basic premise is Daemon helping the reader with some dysphoria. Trans male reader. (It's Julian but I had Daemon use a bunch of pet names so you could read it as a self insert)

There is no explicit or sexual content just some really nice hurt comfort.

Written by a trans author
