After 2 years I'm back! Though I think it's more like 6 since my 2024 visits were very brief?

Annnyway, I've been getting to know the new dragons species and fell in love with the thorntail chaos gremlins. So I got glass babies!!! Glisten and Gleam!

yet another concept: tundra hatchlings rolling around in flowers and herbs to try and mask their scents to hide from their parents

(it never works)

REAL TEARS I AM CRYING REAL TEARS

[thewatcherandthewarden]

This is Sarasota County Ferret Rescue (linked above) and she posts all sorts of ferret outfits!

Consider donating to her, she takes crazy good care of her ferrets. She always chooses to try to save them, rather than getting them put down. Even when the surgeries are expensive and have low success rates, she always gives them a shot. She does everything for those ferrets, including only feeding them homemade raw food diets, and converting multiple rooms in her house into ferret paradises so they can free roam rather than living in cages. She really is the best ferret parent.

the past three weeks in a row, partner has gone to chipotle and been served by the same employee who, in bold defiance of the testimony of his own eyes and ears, ardently refuses to believe carnitas exist

[json-derulo]

partner: “Hi, could I please have a bowl with white rice, black beans, and carnitas?”

employee (completely blank expression): “No.”

partner (autistic) (socialscript.exe encountered an unhandled exception) : “…Uh. Um. Sorry?”

employee: “We don’t have that.”

partner (wondering if perhaps he put too much of the authentic accent on the word and that’s what’s throwing the guy): “You don’t have…(pronouncing it whiter) carnitas?”

employee (face still unreadable): “No.”

partner (looking at the near-full hotel pan of perfectly normal carnitas in its usual place on the other side of the glass) (noticing this employee looks unfamiliar) (maybe he’s a new guy that just started five minutes ago with no training?) : “The…pork?” (pointing at it)

employee: “We don’t have pork.”

partner (beginning to wonder if he’s the one that’s losing it) (desperately looks to the menu on the wall behind the employee) (the menu lists carnitas as a protein option) (the word “carnitas” is not crossed out or taped over or otherwise adulterated) (carnitas have been on the standard menu since at least 2016) : “Okay. Um. Are you…sure?”

other employee working the toppings part of the line (familiar) (have seen her before) (she has cool earrings): *gives the new guy a strange look, nudges him aside, and scoops the carnitas onto partner’s bowl before continuing with the other toppings*

Repeat conversation again the next week. And the next. Same guy. If it’s a bit, no one is laughing, including the employee.

[json-derulo]

theories I’ve considered:

- the employee keeps very strictly kosher/halal/vegan and refuses to handle pork (understandable, I respect that, but if you’re gonna work at a place that serves pork I do kinda feel like when someone orders it you’ve just gotta tap in a coworker to do it for you)

- someone did something gross to the carnitas and the employee is trying to warn people not to order it (??? throw it out then? also, three weeks in a row???)

- the employee is a space alien who views humans as so similar to pigs that for us to eat them is tantamount to cannibalism

[json-derulo]

- the employee is the lead in a kdrama romance about a pampered, clueless chaebol heir who is sent by his father to work in the company’s restaurants for a year in order to prove he’s ready to take over as CEO. he’s dumb as rocks but they can’t fire him or even correct him that harshly due to the power gradient. partner is just a minor reoccurring character, and the interaction is kept the same from week to week to highlight the development of the relationship between the employee and his love interest with the cool earrings (even if the restaurant is literally a fully-branded Chipotle, that’s somehow still not enough product placement for me to believe this is a real kdrama)

[json-derulo]

After reviewing again with partner, evidently I forgot a detail that set this week’s carnitas denial dance apart from the others.

partner (well aware of what he’s getting into with this guy now): “Hi. Could I please have a bowl with white rice, black beans, and pork?”

employee: “We don’t have pork.”

partner (demonstrating a level of patience only a public school teacher could have): *points at the pan of carnitas* “Could I please just have some of that?”

employee (after several slow, confused blinks): *points at the same pan* “That’s steak.”

partner (looking at the hotel pan they’re both pointing at) (it is filled with shredded meat of a pale beige color) (at the other end of the row of pans is another pan containing dark brown, lightly charred meat chopped into small pieces): “Okay.” *deciding he’s willing to play in this fantasy space if it gets the job done, he points at the first pan again* Then could I please have the steak?”

employee: *starts to reach for the pan at the other end containing the actual steak*

partner: "Oh—no, sorry, this one please?" *points at the first pan containing the carnitas*

employee: *blinks, then just walks away and starts helping the next customer in line, leaving partner's bowl unfinished*

other employee with cool earrings: *rolls her eyes at new employee, takes partner’s bowl, and fills it with carnitas herself*

new theories:

- the employee is a bridge troll who will only dole out his delectable carnitas to those who prove themselves worthy by correctly answering his riddles three

- the employee is stoned out of his mind at all times on a specific strain of weed that totally erases the concept of pork from his memory and awareness

[audhdspacewizard]

My dealer: got some straight gas 🔥😛 this strain is called “pork eraser” 😳 you’ll be zonked out of your gourd 💯

Me: yeah whatever. I don’t feel shit.

5 minutes later: dude I swear I just saw some steak in the hotel pan

My buddy Phillip pacing: Chipotle upper management is lying to us

[earhartsease]

server is a very specific type of necromancer and can only think of the pork as reincarnitas

[mythicalviper-fr]

they took my frogs...

where did they go... come back...

[muselessfr]

I made a hand-drawn dragon comparison chart!

I have .psd and a .csp file available for download on the forums, which includes separate layers for each breed that can be hidden or moved around at will!

(Thomas for scale)

here's #2 of I am allowed to ramble about dragons so long as i draw them. Marzanna is pretty simple tho

Marzanna is a schoolteacher in Podsgarden! She was born and raised there, but she lived in Lanternlea for a while, at the university. The school in Podsgarden is not very big, and public education for children in general is pretty nascent in most territories around the world. Apprenticeships and family trades are still the norm in most places. But Podsgarden is trying out general education for children, and it's going well! Children from nearby communities are welcome to attend, and a lot of them end up living with host families around town for chunks of the year. The schedule and curriculum are not very strict yet, and Marzanna gets to make that kind of thing up on the fly a lot, so that's fun.

imagine dragons prematurely blew a fat load when they came up with such a righteous band name, with the price of being limp&dry ever since

[dyst-blogs]

took me sec to realize i wasnt supposed to be imagining a dragon doing this

[gayspock-deactivated20250217]

EVERYBODY. IMAGINE DRAGON BLOWING FAT LOAD. NOW. 🗣️👍

[seacrets-art]

Breaking news: hatchling built like an inverted frying pan raids pantry, rolls out leaving it empty, and screams dramatically when caught

Dragon featured is my guardian dragon Macchiato! He's still currently a WIP while I work on getting all his genes and his scroll of eternal youth, haha ;v; He's just a little menace in all aspects tbh

[clanjinx]

It's been like 2 years but I decided to log on to see the new stuff and then I needed some cute babies??

[sunrisetroodo]

Hello FR users that joined before 2016, do you have an odd memory of picking your tertiary? Do you swear that you picked a color and were sad over not being able to see it, or do you believe staff when they said it was never an option? Side with Rachel or Literally Everyone Else On Discord by voting here!

[hungrytundras]

We did not choose our progens' terts I explicitly remember bragging about getting lucky with mine

[khadjin-fr]

I joined in 2013 (Fall) and there was no way to pick a tert when I registered. It was randomized, I was quite disappointed at the time because I spent so long picking the best colours as Primary and Secondary, all that to get shit Terts...

[clanjinx]

I joined Oct 2013 and I definitely did not get to pick my terts. I remember being disappointed of the random tert color i got because my pro-gen is essentially blue/white/red (splash/white/carmine) and it either looks like toothpaste or the American flag and I would not have chosen that.

[fimbry-rising]

This is in the pipeline for approval now. I gotta do a female version. :>

[fimbry]

Female counterpart <3
