I still need 15 people to donate $10 in order for me to pay rent. I don't have any other way of getting money, i tried donating plasma but my veins are to small from dehydration I've been applying all over but no one wants to hire me and I'm so scared of being homeless. I don't live in a good city and being trans, gay, autistic, & AFAB is only gonna make it worse on me. Please if you can do anything even just $5 or boosting the post, anything helps.
Woke up with a dumb idea that I should look at World of Warcraft again. Dumb because I have more than enough other games and because most of the time I spent in it I was playing with That Monster. So surprise! It's kinda painful to look back at the goddamn game and actually consider playing it again.
Did a short 20-minute bike ride today, kept careful track of how I was feeling the whole time. Headed home the moment I was feeling kinda tired, and was very careful about things. Didn't faint this time, but as soon as I stopped I got a little light-headed anyway.
Foo. Really gonna have to go off the spiro before I do much more if it just keeps doing this.

It always helps.
"Pick a thing and see how far I get with it" turned out to be "play video games while trying to think what to do"
Wistfulness about the word draconity
"Draconity" is a term that doesn't get used much any more, I think
It was what we called the state of Being Dragon, a bit more wieldy than "otherkinness" or therianthropy
I liked that little word. It encompassed a community of people some of whom I knew, some of whom I didn't, but that always seemed to manage to avoid unnecessary conflict. When things went bad, I never saw dragons fight with tooth and claw; they retreated, invisibly, and the community got quieter and quieter until it eventually didn't hold together much any more.
But-- I feel like I sensed a core of something in those dragons that felt common and unique to them. A particular kind of quiet solidity, steadfastness within the longing, and a manifest willingness to stay childlike at heart. They didn't always say much, but when they did it was resonant and felt Real. I see it in people who call themselves dragons today, too. Other people are strong, or stoic, or playful, and in every way as good as dragons at these things, and dragons aren't always all these things; but there is a Vibe I get from them sometimes. Like the way people are protective, but a stone symbolises protection.
Perhaps to be Dragon is to clothe oneself in a certain set of symbols, an archetypal armour that moulds the self to a certain eternal pattern.
Rare coastal dragoness, often found by sunny sea cliffs. Nonbinary but fairly femme-leaning. If you're under 18 don't follow.
