Slow day, but still gotta pass the time somehow. Going to pester Illyria about their clan and see if I could perhaps preserve them. Ideally, I'd preserve some Cyran kiddies too. Even got a good idea of how, but I need to find a way to study the solar system first.
Hiding out on the moon might not be far enough, see.
Scorcros is in Jin's age range, being perhaps one to two hundred years off from each other. No one's sure who's the more senior, causes some problems. They have a sort of caste system set up -- wolves are warriors, and rank higher in the clan. Dogs are support, and rank lower. A sort-of 'the highest dog is still lower than the lowest wolf' setup. Despite being very, very pink, they're fighters and mercenaries at heart. Competition for Taun, it would seem.
However, while Taun is a beneficial force in the world -- Scorcros seems to be firmly a hindrance. She and her wolves act as bullies, and her particular power over memory makes it worse. Dragons, fae, and tri-wings are the only beings who can defeat her false-hydra like passive memory erasure. Apparently she hasn't fought a lot of weres to see if it works on them. But she's spent the past fourteen thousand years going through every species of mythos to see if they can fight off her amnesia-fu.
So far, no joy.
Illyria's confusion about Scorcros passing the clan to Fa'Lina makes more sense the more I hear about Scorcros. She is at best passively racist against dogs -- as it stands, she would never agree to that.
Scorcros' clan affinity is still hope -- but Scorcros teaches it in a much darker way than Fa'Lina. They sense hope keenest of all so they can find people hiding from them on raids. I applaud the weaponization, but goddamn. That's savage. Using someone's hope to find where they're hiding from you? I'll have to remember that.
The clan ascended when Scorcros devastated the gryphon city of Shirator and took a holy relic left in their keeping -- for a meal. She ate a magical artifact and it tri-winged her.
I have got to find out what's up with cubi ascension, this is ridiculous. Tri-winging from particularly tasty meals? I want to do that! It would fit so thematically with my hunger affinity!
Bee tee dubs? Illyria was actively creeped out by my affinity being hunger. But they were willing to listen to me on how to find their own affinities.
Hope, natch. But second strongest was pain. I get the feeling that they were feeding on the pain of their opponents a little bit while they adventured, and used that to strengthen themselves.
Imagine being powered by your opponent's pain and not the fact they skipped a meal before fighting you. Doesn't that sound nice?
Oop! Fear spike, gotta go. Hugs and kisses!

I direct you to the inspiration for this entire Scorcros/Fa'Lina divide. Bwah!

Last post by thegayhare - May 17, 2026, 07:49:21 PMa freind of ours handled set up and we had the event at a local gay bar for fun, ending on a drag caberate... It was both of uses first time in a gay bar and attending a drag show... I had catered to one but I was off to the side out of veiw, saw nothing, and it was a collage show so probably way differnt
In the nead up to it I made this topper, 3d printed and painted it
its a rough paint job but it looks okay at a distance
https://www.furaffinity.net/view/65036973/
https://www.furaffinity.net/view/65036989/
the guy contracted to make the cake was a local wedding shop and he was really excited and did an awesome job
https://www.furaffinity.net/view/65037108/
each layer was a differnt flavor profile. The bottom was banana, with peanutbutter filling and chocolate Icing. the middle was chocolate with a vannila cream filling and a firm white frosting. the top was basic white with a fudge filling and again the standard white frosting

Tower of Art / [Music] A lost wolf
Last post by Raskahn - May 17, 2026, 04:56:16 PMSo I've been playing around with some of the newer AI tools, while no replacement for actual musicians I've found the process rather fun. Full credit for Tapewolf's characters obviously and I wrote the lyrics based loosely on the Cross chapters.
