You know, if you think about it, a database is a kind of dragon hoard.

I never cease to be amused that there's a place in Florida called Yeehaw Junction. Like, yep, that's a real Florida moment right there.

One of my guilty pleasures is watching videos of folks playing ticket arcade games. I dunno why, doesn't matter if I know it's rigged, I find it relaxing. I guess it reminds me of going to Chuck E. Cheese as a kid.

Also funny when I get frustrated with ticket games the handful of times I tried playing them while at Round1 for rhythm games.

An edited Facebook post. At the top is the caption "Autism be damned my girl can work a grill."

Beneath the caption is several images of a person grilling, with Miria from NOISZ episode G's sprite overlaid on top of it.

The grill has been edited to show a pattern from the Overload chart for Pure by Shirobon.

What is the kyraam lore 😯😯😯 now you have me interested

Sadly I don't have it written up in much detail. The most jotted down is on my (very unfinished) Neocities page. Which goes something like:

Kyraam graduated from high school isolated and burnt out. While she's been struggling to find her footing, she moves in with Vivian, a pink-haired mountain lion who she had previously hooked up with. Escaping from familial pressures immediately into living with a roommate, Kyraam is desperate for independence, but her chronic fatigue gets in the way. The path forward is unclear, but every day, it makes the choice to try her best anyway.

I suppose like me, she used to do well in lower grades but found herself unable to function in the real world particularly well.

Those two kind of have a pretty unhealthy relationship because Kyraam is very dependent on her for rent and struggles to keep up with her part-time job at the local university as a janitor.

I'm sure any story I'd write about her would, in a good timeline, end in her moving out from Vivian and finding a more emotionally healthy friendship with Tracy, an arcade technician she met while blowing money she should've contributed to the household budget on arcade games.

The lore more serves to function as framing for whatever daydreams I'm in the mood for, whether that be cathartic or happy or uncertain.

ooooooooo but I can get more into species lore.

Kyraam is a Fallenaire Pseudo-dragon. This is a particular subtype of psuedo-dragon, or non-reptilian "animal" with defining dragon characteristics like wings, horns, and a tail (in quotes because anthropomorphic). Her species in particular is characterized by feathery wings that can be shape-shifted into a more chibi form for daily convenience, markings on the cheeks of varying shapes, and magic blood.

The magic blood is especially wacky. Here is a list of associated baggage:

Fallenaires' entire body is based on raw magic coursing through their veins, unlike most other species.

Their food is digested through their stomachs into raw magical energy. This renders them immune to most poison and psychoactive substances (which was important as Fallenaires historically survived off of poisonous animals and plants that most other species could not eat).

This conversion process practically means that they also do not have effects from the majority of medication without special modification. They generally have worse access to healthcare than other species.

Fallenaire blood has different blood types: RGB. I thought this would be funny. But yeah, for a Fallenaire to have a blood transfusion, the color (representing magical essence) has to be close enough in color to the recipient. Light and Void-blooded Fallenaires typically have the least leniency in what they can receive.

Fallenaire blood glows and sparkles, resembling slime more than blood in some ways. As a result, blushing causes glowing, primarily seen on cheek spots and other areas where blood rushes and fur is thin.

Probably more that I forgot off the top of my head.

She even used to have eye-color changing with emotions, but I eventually scrapped that because it was a pain in the ass to remember and draw. Plus, didn't really fit with the muddied, unclear emotions she feels and the very otherwise hard to understand way her body language expresses them.

Finally, one extra quirk is body language disconnects from other mammalian species. Unlike with dogs, tail wagging for a Fallenaire is much like a snake's: a nervous/defensive response. This gets misconstrued a lot (I added this detail because I'm kind of used to having my facial expressions misconstrued when I don't wear a face mask). I'll probably add more outlier/unusual body language tendencies as I think of them.
