@Catpone Cerberus Flopping his long body over, lengthwise, onto the grass to face up, Widdershins loudly expresses himself. A Cat, a Pone AND an Urge?!!? Such wonderful, composite creatures that roam this wide, wooly world of Ech-Quest-ria! Gesturing with his ears like one would with their arms while talking, the draconequus wriggles his long ears up in the air as he continues rambling. Such a creative diversity of characters as comparable to the many worlds I say I don't remember traveling through! Why, its almost as if this world was created by some host of writers making some sort of show directed at children or the like! Nay, when a Dragonequus composites themselves, its only symbolic! Never would have I guessed I'd come across a CatHorse! ...Not that I'm "Critiquing" or anything, of course. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ @Dji Snaking his head back up off of the mare, the young drake puffs his checks and grumbles a reply. "Well, if you can't fly then..." he pauses, reluctantly contemplating his next course of action. "... you want me to take you somewhere other than this rooftop? Provided you can think of a way to ask me to carry you. Rather than just assaulting me. … as seems to be your first impulse."

*Lip Tremble* OMP! Totally new favorite episode in Surf and/or Turf!!!
...I'll say it. It's an analogic to being Identity Confused, whether Gender or other important life decisions. It's an absolute godsend to hear if y-you've ever... s-spent a great deal mired in your own dysphoria. ...L-like I have.
Also, likely the best song I've yet heard in MLP! (Very likely themed the episode around it, it was so onspot in tone & lyrics!!)
….Aaaaaaaaaaaaand! I SO LOVE THE HIPPOGRYPHS NOW!!!
They're such an emotional & expressive species! In contrast to those calm, New-Wavey Seaponies that stayed behind in their new aquatic lives.
THEY HAVE SCREECHING CONTESTS!!! FESTIVALS E'RYDAY!!!
EeEeeaaawk! Reeeaah! OtherHappyExcitedScreechyNoises!!!
Best species! Must get to work on yet another OC! Griffsona! Eeeawk!!

Wouldn’t want tah find some way of demolishing your headquarters using only pancakes.

Got two tiny, palm-sized kittens sleeping on my chest & purring away.
Kinda want to see this happen to Widdershins too!

Just sitting on my bed with my tiny kitty...
...who’s so curious how a face works, that she’s shoving her little cat snoot as far into my nostril as she can.

All Hail the Eldegoss. Worship the Lore of the Eldegoss!

I like this Galar. I must stay. There is much Fluff to be had here.

Remember me posting this?:
Liked it so much, I made my own version!: (The smaller, shadowy guy is a sort of self portrait of myself.)

I'm sorry. But I have to bring this up.
Sonia is Best Girl!
Dreamy Sigh.
Just lookit tha fluffy hair! That bright, intelligent look in the eyes! Her sassy stance! Like, who doesn't who decorates themselves with little hearts? She helps her professor grandmother, knows her way around a library & research!~
… I bet she's crazy! Most redheads are! I should know! I am one!

On a new medication. Sleep intermittent. Worried about job. Funds low & undependable. Jobs don’t seem willing to hire.
Rough time lately.

*Ahem*
It's a dog with a sword in its mouth.
It's just a dog with a sword in its mouth.

THEY’RE REPLACING THE DEWEY DECIMAL SYSTEM!!!
How dare they! It’s like saying LIGHT is obsolete!
Pah! In favor of a grouping classification! Such a... a.. Dangling Gerund! (P.s: tell me what that is, plz...) Admittedly, its likely only this one branch out here but... the connotations perturb & pervert!
-
Oh, they've been talking about doing that for decades. For whatever reason, it turns out that libraries don't generally seem to want to reshelve their entire stock of books over a system that offers arguable improvements at best. There are still a good few tens of thousands of libraries who still use Dewey, so I don't think it'll be dying out any time soon.
As for dangling gerunds, they're a terrible grammatical error involving the misassociation of nouns with a gerund. For example, in the sentence "While drinking our coffee, the lions approached our camp", the word 'drinking' is a gerund, and is mistakenly positioned in the sentence in a way that makes it look like the lions are the ones drinking the coffee. The sentence should read something like "While drinking our coffee, we saw the lions approaching our camp", where the gerund 'drinking' is correctly assigned to the noun 'we'. It's a messy business that often trips up padawan authors.
Also, I have another smol dragon for you:

Just got out of the Library. (Everybeing knows all libraries share a mass entity.) Got so excited I started crying a bit & hyperventilating. Had to calm myself by discretely snorting Oxford’s Chess Compedium.
I love Boooooooooooks!

Just got back from Godzilla, King of Monsters!
Gad, I love a good monster movie! Really filled a craving I've had!
and I just wanna say.... King Ghidorah is so adorable!
"Invasive Species" my pituitary gland! My HydraBro just wants recognition from his peers is all! Love how each head has so much emotion & reaction behind it! That one scene where the furthest left head is sniffing & licking the ground where it just lightening-breathed down some human guards all like: "Aww! But I wanted to figure out what they were first!"
Right head barges in & bites Lefty: "You idiot! They were firing guns on us!"
Center head: "Uhh. We should probably find a safe place to rest & heal up before-...sigh. Yup. Hi, Godzilla. So battle again, huh?"
-
Just wanted to say. Widdershins & I are slightly different. I actually adore order & how things sometimes arrange themselves. Case in point...
Was playin pokemon just now and Gneiss, my Skrelp, has the Poison Touch ability that sometimes! Inflicts the Poison status on an opponent.
He uses a move that already does that on some rat, poisons it. The rat eats the berry it was holding to cure itself... then the abilty kicks in, RE-Poisoning the rat a SECOND TIME IN THE SAME FIVE SECONDS!!
“...can’t you tell that i’m TOX-IC!”

I'm looking for a word here, if you can help me...
See, surely there must be a term for beings like the Changelings, my draconequusona whom literally feeds on attention and my own, personal theory on how daemons literally sustain themselves on energies that correlate to fear & etcetra in the mortal realms they can be inflicted upon in most fantasy tales.
What do you call a being that eats literal emotion & thought?
Emotivore feels too... trendy & modern. I can't help but think there was an old Latin root word for general consciousness... Aether? An Aetervore?... Hum...
-
Emotion and thought are fairly different in terms of the level of mental life that each resides on, so it'd have to be a relatively broad root term. If the generalised ability of the sort of creature you're thinking of is to consume the 'activity', so to speak, of any level of mental life, it would most likely have to encompass instinct, will, and a variety of other mental activities as well.
As such, I recommend entelechivore, based on the root word 'entelechy'. It's a very complex term based on a Greek double-portmanteau pun (yes, pun) invented by Aristotle for his particular brand of philosophy several thousand years ago, but the general modern definition is that of a motivation or internal force directing the development of living beings, often associated with some conception of a soul (sense 2 below):
It's niche enough that probably only about 50 people on the face of the planet could authoritatively challenge you on your usage of it, and it's contested enough that this usage of it definitely fits within several of its various meanings. The only downside is that its definition is completely inaccessible to anyone who doesn't have a mild obsession with philosophy, so you'll have to define it whenever you use it if you want people to have any decent idea of what you're talking about.

From Punctillious Worm, "Abricadaver, aka, The Magic Deadguy."
In regards to complaints about my ethics in my Draconic Subject Experimentation, Project: Alabaster Flight, I must assert that utmost care was given for full capabilities garnered to the final subject. Our final specimen thus gained is assured a healthy, happy life despite what may have purported to happen to its prior predecessors.
I must reiterate my certain stance on grafting on a fifth clawed limb. More limb clearly substantiates a wider range of attack and, as dragons are a predatory species, this provides only more value to the specimen at hand. I will admit that the placement of aforesaid fifth limb is most unfortunate, but alas, it was the only remaining, viable space on the lower body.
As to the second tail in close proximity to the "original" tail, while seemingly extraneous is anything but. Further drag coefficient on the later half has shown, in my personal research, to only aid in flight maneuverability.
Constant flow of pus waste & frequent need for exposure to Blight Crystal radiation are natural signs of health in subject & are of no concern. I reassert. Subject is healthy. It takes to aforesaid radiation well, and needs it as nourishment only, a vast improvement over the one prior subject which had to have said Blight Crystals embedded into its spine. But I do digress. Please purchase the radiation from me on a continuous basis, or dissolvement may occur.
I hope you find my research further palatable,
Signed, Punctillious Worm.
P.S. Please do consider buying my Tome of ArcanoDaemonica, on unabridged daemon biology.

They say its a big rule in comedy, The K Rule!
That words with G or K sounds (or C, really) hit the ear as funnier.
So, fun little game, eh? Let's see how many of those sounds we can fit together in one sentence!

I've always wanted to have kids, y'know! Got their names all planned out and likely what they're personalities would be!
....because having kids is the same thing as making OCs, right?...right?
...
...Look, if they have ANY of my genes, I know EXACTLY what their personalities would turn out as!

@Renegade the Unicorn Oh Posh! Dane Cook and his gibberish! You can't just name your kids after a noise to be an annoying jerk!
I think Nah would sound quite pretty with my last name! Feminine but unique & slightly familiar!
And Yas is the name for snow in a... place far from wherever I am!
Yas & Nah!... and for no other reasons would I pick those names!
