Hello,

Damn it's been a long time since I've written any one of these. The last journal was just a YCH which I had some fun with.

Anyways, I'm sure everyone in the world is aware and I'm sure everybody knows what's going on at the moment and I really DESPISE talking about this but this entire system has forced my hand and I simply had no choice but to do so: Tariff threats. And I am NOT a US citizen at all and from what I've hearing from my friends, they're the ones that are struggling the most. But even then, my country will probably have its struggles too when these are imposed. These threats are seriously troubling times and it's possible that my 'fun' part-time job may be in serious trouble too. We're not exactly sure what will happen in the future but we're a week away to this troubling time. There are so many variations and I've endlessly been clicking all over the news (which is not very good in my mental health). That's not what I was hoping for when I got this new computer and it just 'happened' as soon as these threats did.

Also, if things get REALLY bad for me up here (which the last thing I ever wanted to do) is I may have to move. But it seems like no matter where I go, it doesn't matter where up to this point. There will always be these threats and even Europe is facing these threats.

So what's next?

I will probably just continue with my usual life for now and keep on personal drawings (yes I've had dozens of unshared art in my files. Sorry) and basically just go along from there. But if there is a really serious situation such as financial troubles in my house, I will do the best I can to open myself up a bit for commissions without my worries of social anxiety. In my early days, I used to share stuff all the time and even shared some great commission works from other artists. I will most likely have to deal with that and open myself up a bit more. I also have drawn a fun vorny comic myself which I hope people will enjoy. There are some things I want to do some extra work on it but for now I'll just leave it at that when it's really finished.

Are you going to move?

I'm not entirely sure and I want to stay prideful as a Canadian. I would like to believe we can still face these challenging times but I can't be for certain. I'm not a futurologist or anything like that. This is practically like my depressing times like in 2012 but I was just 'young' back then. Don't worry, I have a 'savings plan' as a backup in case anything happens. I like to save funds and I've been doing it for years so I'm not entirely in trouble... yet. I have my eyes on Europe for a long time so we'll see. That US visit BTW? Out the freaking window. That will NEVER happen unfortunately since I've started boycotting their products. There is no way in hell I'll ever visit the US probably (in extreme long terms).

Will you ever share works?

Yeah, apologies of such broken promises and my absences. I had to take a 'step-back' for a while just so I can mentally recover myself. After that 'Twitter incident' I felt sooo unmotivated and just decide to play video games and watch movies in my own time. Get up from work early in the morning, come back in the afternoon, and sleep. I only get 5-hour shifts but I do still receive my PWD cheques which I'm thankful for. This was also the reason I was able to afford my German trips to visit at EF along with my good friends. I'm not entirely sure if I'll get these again. Hopefully not.

Do you have a Bluesky now?

Yes! I cannot stand 'X/Twitter' anymore and it makes me extremely disgusted for what the place has become. You will never see me use that account again and it is gone forever. I went out of my way to delete the app as well and went on to a new place. I have been slowly uploading stuff there if you like to see some new sketches there.

March 2025 Update:

I left this journal on tab and didn't upload it because I wasn't sure what to say about anything else in this whole crisis. I remember COVID was bad but this is probably far worse than I thought it would be. I never thought my country would be threatened by the States and my family is showing their rage against them. I can't even say that my viewers come from the States so it is hard to cut them down. My place is the most peaceful country in the world and I would personally fight against the States if it comes down to that road. But with all of these vents, and punching against something, I think I do feel slightly better. I am sorry it took me a long time for my 'hiatus' to get off but I have been secretly working on some arts and even shown gifts to my friends during my EF trip and all of them have positive reactions which makes me quite pleased about that.

Anyways, Macro March has been quite good for this month and it helps me reflect on the last couple of months. I have toned down the news after these US threats and that 'doomscroll syndrome' is what I'm currently fighting against. This is more of a 'drama' journal and I don't expect very many people to read it really but I have to say something about what's going on anyway... In my current mood, I am feeling better myself and the job that I have is keeping me occupied and busy so that's something. It's better than any other place I've been on honestly and I prefer to come home much earlier than taking full-time jobs anyway (unless I really have no other alternatives).

Thanks for reading this~

More vorny stories along the way and I've made a new character in secret. I hope people like him as much as I do.

First things first, let's get to the ChristMaws plans and then we'll talk about the future plans.

ChristMaws Plans:

It feels like I haven't done this years and years ago, but I think it's a good time to start off with another collaboration I have thought about. I was thinking we could do a YCH together for this ChristMaws. I can provide the art myself or commission someone for this project so I can write a story as well. But I can see some people are encouraging me to keep drawing so I may do that.

All you have to do is give me a 'detailed' reference so I can get this to work for me and character information so I can match the personality of your character for the story part. It's just a tiny lil price for this project. I will provide 4 slots for this project (cause if I put too many characters, I think it would take a lot longer to make lol). I've done many collaborative projects with many of my fellow friends and artists out there for years and I've been feeling pretty good about myself to do it again. What's this project about? Basically, small little ones decorating a catdragon like a Christmaws tree and I figured that would be a fun little idea for the story that I'll be writing (or draw) about. I'm not sure what the fair price would be for this project but I think maybe 10 USD would suffice? I will discuss further about the project if you have any other questions how this is going to work. The slots will officially close at December 8th and I will begin the project from there.

Thank you all~

What's been happening lately?

Now, for the somewhat serious part of the journal (you can skip this if you want as it involves some drama).

As for myself, I've been feeling very well during 2023 despite that I've been on a very long hiatus so I think things have been going pretty smoothly for me. Last year, I've been pretty darn busy which is the reason why I haven't been uploading much projects. According to my document files, I've been sketching over 150 illustrations. I think that was a helluva an accomplishment (including a 30-day challenge along with my friends). So I think that was incredible for me and I can't help but feel proud of myself for that. There's also more than that... I was in a summer class for getting some employment. They certainly helped me get a job. Because it's winter, the hours have slowed down for me so meaning I can get out much earlier so I can focus on my projects (at least for the time-being). As for the job itself, it does have downfalls but surprisingly it's a helluva a lot better than any place I've been on (and that's saying a lot). So I have a feeling I won't be quitting there until a very long time and that to me is a good thing. The downside is: I have to wake up too early and I don't like that of course but it certainly helps save monies for traveling to see friends and that's the only reasons I'm keeping this job and maybe I'll move to Germany someday. But if I do that, that means I NEED to save TONS of funds to do that so I can be extremely prepared for that road in case things go wrong. But it is still a risky road but it is there in case I get extremely tired of living here (plus I need to know German).

Other than that, that's pretty far from now so I don't think I'll be doing that for years and years (plus no guarantee for that road but it certainly would be nice...)

Anyway, 2023 was certainly a very busy time for me and that is reason why I didn't really upload any projects (even though I really did say I would last year) but after Eurofurence last year, a big hiatus break, the summer class, and the new job I got, you can pretty much tell that a lot has happened this year. So I think things have been quite improved.

Thank you for the time of reading this journal and I'll be doing the ChristMaws project (promise this time around). So if you would like a slot, please let me know down below in the comments or ask me about other concerns.

UPDATED VER.

Thank you for all of the small contributions. I will proceed with the project as planned.

Hope you all have a very good 'ChristMaws!'

~DragonX1010

Yesterday I was losing my temper about the garbage policy but looking at some of my friends' reactions over it, I can now understand that this garbage website is falling down... If I do get banned here, so be it. It just means I will be losing thousands and thousands of my audiences and followers that I poured my soul into and perhaps this may be a new refresher to start all over again. But for now, my own business will continue as usual... For now... However, I will start cleaning up my own gallery and make sure that it is consistent like it was in my DA days (when I left there since 2017ish). It sucks hard that I may have to start from the beginning. Especially as a writer myself, it is very VERY hard to get new readers out there. I noticed most people in this community out there don't like to read which means that it will be much more difficult for me to attract new readers. I've read some really good stories out there that I feel are much better than mine and they don't get as much attention as I do. So it really hurts seeing this policy coming to play and I'm extremely disappointed in it. This really affected most of my artist friends that I've hung around with at Germany's Eurofurence. They stake their lives in these art projects and get a lot of clients who are willing to pay for their art so I am honestly not sure what will happen in the future but I want to say that this policy is absolutely wrong in so many levels. They explained this whole situation absolutely poorly and it makes no sense at all. Yesterday I was infuriated (and you can probably tell I vented hard on my own Twitter about it) but after leaving about it to take a rest, I was completely calm and I'm going to try and be 'professional' about it. If this is the way they want to do things, so be it. I will take my leave and move out if they decide to ban me. There are a lot of artists that I will extremely miss such as livinlovindude (which the commissions I literally started from the very very beginning) and it's too bad that I haven't met him in-person. But we talked pretty frequently about ourselves and interests (it's also too bad I'm not a WOW fan either but I dislike Blizzard). I will admit, the Arbok and A duo has really got me inspired and I decided to say Vanilla and myself (author) as the duo. I thought it was fun for a while but then I went way deeper into my stories. I thought the whole script-style was lame but people really dug right into reading them for some reason. So I tried something new with my characters once in a while to challenge myself and sometimes it works and other times... well it doesn't usually work. I had my fair share of controversies and my mistakes and I wish I can go back and apologize to some people that I irritated but I have to remember the past is the past and we have to move on to life.

Unfortunately, the Internet is the only place where I can reach to all of my friends so I rely on it all the time. I am considered an introvert and I run out of batteries very quickly when I try to socialize. I am literally quiet as a mouse when I have to deal with people. And the old job that I used to work for... it was high-school all over again. I hated it. It was drama after drama at that sawmill and dealt with their bullshit for too long when I stayed at that place so perhaps that's where my temper comes from once in a while (and the fact that I am also short-tempered). And I also apologize for the lack of uploads but I've been really busy trying to get myself out the door for another job and I've also been drawing to keep myself calm and collective and it really works. I've been super proud of myself for all the projects that I've been doing. The worse thing I admit to myself that I try to compare myself with others too much and I admit that I made that big mistake. I despised myself for that. I am not completely lost to myself and it's not as worse as it was like nearly 3 years ago. Like I'm starting to feel a bit more happier about myself than waaay before (even after revisiting Germany) so I think that does count with something. The only thing was holding me back was I just just applying myself for any job out there but I still get really nothing so it has been a bit of a challenge since I rather be looking for a new place rather than looking for an old place I've worked before.

Another reality check is... You can't really make a living out of fan-made works (I've read SpottedSqueak's journal the other day) and some very good points about it. You absolutely need networking and that's really hard to do. Even today I have troubles doing that now. I'm surprised to this day my laptop is still alive and kicking but it crashes once in a while due to the age of the hardware. I've been using it for a very long time. I've been debating myself on getting an iPad Pro someday but that all depends if I get a job at all lol. But anyways, off-topic of things, I will point this out again, this policy is garbage cause it literally takes away creative freedom and it is extremely concerning to everyone's galleries. Look, I don't condone 'child porn' at all. It's fucked up. And I'm also not a fan of cub porn at all. However.... We are ALL confused by this policy considering the whole 'Pokemon/Digimon' situation and when they said they had no list... it's kinda backwards and they weren't even thinking about it. It really scares away potential new artists out there and it even scares me too... I don't get it and I'm not sure if my gallery will be affected considering that I haven't posted here often. I share my works mostly on my own Discord server and my friends' servers (considering it's a safer place without such polices). But it IS nice to come here and and share my works here too. I DO have my watchers following me here so I do still do things once in a while but I admit I have been doing my projects waaaay more quietly and privately than ever before. Perhaps this is also because of my 'anxieties of the past' and they've been coming back since my younger days when I was a dumb teenager. In those days, I drank but thankfully I never smoked. But it was still dumb.

There's a lot to talk about me but once again, I've been too descriptive about this journal. I can curse and rage even more but it doesn't matter.... What's happening right now is absolutely disgusting and there are memes popping up everywhere through Discord and Twitter over this (and rightfully so). I'm not exactly sure WHERE I'll be sharing my works but I do have some accounts (which I never used). If there are some suggestions about sharing stories/arts in someplace else, I will follow wherever my friends go.

Thanks for your patience with me. What do you think of the policy? Are you concerned for your gallery or about your favourite artist out there?

In case everything goes downhill please consider following me through Twitter. I have a different method in how I'm gonna share my stories there. It won't be as fancy but I do have a following there. I'm honestly not sure if I'll use these accounts (and they're actually fairly new since the policy is announced but I do plan on uploading my works in those places.) If you like these projects, consider giving me a watch/follow.

My Twitter: https://twitter.com/dragonx1010

My Aryion: https://aryion.com/g4/user/DragonX1010 (Hardly use it. I might end up starting over from this one considering it's the oldest and nonused account ever).

My Inkbunny: https://inkbunny.net/DragonX1010 (It's literally brand new. Not sure I'll use this but it's there. Lemme know your opinions about Inkbunny)

My Furnetwork: https://furrynetwork.com/dragonx1010/ (Not sure about this one but it's there.)

My Itaku: https://itaku.ee/profile/dragonx1010 (Again. Brand new. Not sure I'll use it but it's there.)

My Weasly: https://www.weasyl.com/~dragonx1010 (A bit older but no submissions at all.)

My Picarto: https://www.picarto.tv/VanillaTheKitten (For vibing art streams once in a while. NSFW purposes.)

My Twitch: https://www.twitch.tv/vanillathedragon (Might use it but I just go there to watch my friends stream once in a while. I play video games as well but unsure how I'll approach this one. We'll see.)

That's 6 FREAKING furry accounts to track down. I've never had this much accounts before in my life and it's a big ass headache for me. However, I am thinking about growing Aryion more considering that seems to be a bit more interesting considering it's a vore community in there and it seems a bit safer. The only thing that may be lost is my watchers/followers if I do get in trouble here for some godforsaken reason. And if FA staff is going to act like a bunch of babies, screw 'em. Yes, I said it aloud. It's been a fun road while it lasted. I guess my 2,000 watches and my hard work don't mean shit to 'em. For now, I'm gonna continue on with my stories here as usual but I WILL officially start uploading my works in those places one at a time... It's going to suck considering I need to network myself all over again. Thankfully I got a following at my Discord (maybe Telegram) but still... What a shitty way to end things here.

Give these artists the loves they deserve and thank you to the following artists/friends that inspired me in this road:

 livinlovindude Huge inspiration and how it started it all for me.

 rai-kun Amazing person to hang around with (even in RL). Hope we share a hotel room in the next EF for a third time :3

 sparkythechu A dorky chu but an extremely nice one at that. :3

 dweet-tea Gonna miss the style. Certainly wish I can com more for this artist.

 incredibleediblecalico Incredibly amazing style. Very proud of all those YCHs and the coms.

And there are many others that I've wanted to list but every piece I receive goes directly to my art file. And they never get lost and removed from such garbage policies like these. I haven't uploaded any gifts (regrettably) but I do think about them too. Well, I think I've said all that I can... I hope that these polices are reversed but the way the staff is behaving.... I am starting to doubt it now.

Sorry for the looooong vent but it must be said and done. It doesn't matter now... It's like losing your job like the whole thing is going to shut down on you. In reality, no job will last forever and this is the honest truth and you have to move on. Thanks for having me around once again. It has been an honour writing/drawing for you all.

Keep up the fight or leave it there,

~DragonX1010

Well... It's been a while since I've written another journal and written anything that's been going on again. I did say I promised that I was going to open commissions the other time but I can tell that didn't help at all lol. You can say that I'm lazy or I've got too many things wrapped up in my mind (in fact, it's way too many things inside my head that I've been keeping). Whatever the case, I apologize it's been so long. Recently, I've started a stream and did a few sketches and shared on my Twitter account and I'm pretty active there. Good news, however, I have another story planned out for Lugia Day (late as fuck) so I hope you are looking forward to that project coming around. Nothing much has changed since I've gotten home but I seriously do miss everyone at EF. It was an amazing trip and a good break so I think I'm good for some personal projects but first, I need to address a few things about my personal health. With that being said, I would like to discuss about my own future. Right now, my mental health hasn't been going so well honestly and I feel like I need a bit more time and help.


What's next?

Personally, I think it's best if I seek out full-time employment up to this point (or go back to the same place I was working before, doesn't matter) because I needed some income for traveling and I think I prefer to travel more often than stay at a basement forever. I plan on moving out of there anyway but for now, I've been seeking therapy right now and I've been avoiding this for a long time but I think it's the right time to do it now. Also, the issue is, I'll have to probably work at that place for longer periods of times so there won't be much going on. Unless I decide to create a Patreon (for writing purposes) or commissions, I'm not sure yet. Personally, I think this was all my fault for not doing much of anything and I spent most of my funds on Eurofurence so I probably won't be back there at least 2 or 3 years. A work-at-home job and experience just won't be enough because it'll take more than 5 or 6 years for me to get there. The reality is, each plane ticket costs over $2,000 CAD to get there (including the costs of a hotel). That's not something that I wanted. At least these are my next plans of action in my own life. And I'm still practicing with my digital art abilities as I go along... We'll see... *sigh* For now, I'm still uncertain about myself and it has been very hard for me.


Will you still do vores?

Whenever I have the time for that, yes. That is not going away anytime soon lol. I will always have some sort of idea going on for my fluffy fursonas. In fact, I actually have plans on 'changing' a few things about these character's lore but not too much. For example, I wasn't always satisfied with Vanilla's backstory and I plan on doing it a little bit differently. When I left DA and did that convoluted story, I was not happy with it and I'm sure a lot of readers out there are not either. It just made it way too confusing in my opinion so I really wanted to make that story as simple as possible. Chocolate's backstory will also be slightly different as well and Mint's as well. Strawberry will remain the same because I think that story with her was perfect. It fits for her character I think. So some slight changes but not TOO much.

What changes will there be for Vanilla's, Chocolate's, and Mint's lore

This I cannot say. However, I feel like there should be some improvements to make sense for these stories to tell. I feel like I confuse a lot of my readers and currently, I've been writing a timeline to help myself and the readers' out so that way, I can create these backstories as believable as possible. You gotta remember, these stories were written waaaay back at the mid-2010s lol so I was completely young at those days. But now that I feel like I'm wising up, I feel like I can do better than before. I hope you look forward to them.

I've heard you wanted to stream more often. Is this true?

Yes, and I've got the proper equipment to do it. However, there are two problems I am facing: Avatar creating and picking the right software. While I am able to use my .vrm files, I am unable to actually figure out how to get the right software. Plus, I think I would prefer if I had actually commissioned someone on doing this for me lol. I am not a serious computer geek and, unfortunately, I am no 'PC person.' I've relied too heavily on Macs but this maaaay change in the near future. I had serious plans on getting a PC myself as a secondary computer. Maybe with some few games but I do have a capture card that works here but I would love to find someway for an avatar to work and be interactive for the chat. If there are some smart people out there that knows this kind of stuff, I'm definitely listening. Whether it is a 3D avatar or a simple .png avatar. Either way, I just want my avatar to be whacked on upside the head lol. I've been watching heavily on Rich's stream and I kiiiinda want to do it just for fun. Not doing this for being a serious streamer mind you. Just something for fun really. If you got anything that may help me of what programs I can use on a macOS, please share. I can always switch to Windows but that's not my preferred operating system to use.

Do you game on PC?

Depends on the circumstances. So the answer is, not really. I prefer to use a living room and game with my PS5 or on Switch. But I think having the option of a PC would be nice so I don't know if that will be the main computer or not. It all depends how this goes for me. I prefer my stuff to be simple and quick. However, if there are more software options on PC, I probably would use that these circumstances. I managed to get 3Tene to work on a Mac but can't get my main avatar to work unfortunately. It'll import but no dice on the lip syncing, nor blinking. Perhaps it's the weak webcam. Anyway, that's the situation I'm also stuck on as well and something that I have to deal with. I'm sure there are options out there for this computer but I can't seem to find them. I hope I can look for it myself. Anyways, no, I still prefer to game on a console and would rather just be using my capture card from there. The Elegato Capture HD60+ is excellent and it works here beautifully.

Are you feeling better after Eurofurence?

Yes, I feel better after leaving the room and traveling overseas to visit my friends. However, I've heard they got sick afterwards but I'm sure they're recovering fine. I do wish that I can go to MFF but there are limitations that I can do for myself so I have to stay. Writing this journal and talking about my feelings is making me a lot better actually. Just some things to get out of my chest. Sometimes I learned it's a good thing to vent once in a while. I'm still fighting off my post-con depression but it was a good feeling seeing a lot of new friends and old ones as well. I've been gone for so long, I don't even know my own uploading schedule anymore.

Will you recover from this?

I honestly don't know. It's pretty bad as I thought and I kept ignoring it for so long, I don't even know if I can recover from this or not but I'm doing everything I can to go back to my normal ways. All I need is A LOT of time and I hope the therapy plan will work. I don't know what it's all like. Some say it can help and others say it gets worse. I just hope it helps so I can't say for sure. If I had it my way, I would've seen my own doctor but he has retired unfortunately so nothing I can do about that.

Projects you're working on?

Considering that I've been keeping projects around, I've been working on the Lugia Day project (which will be uploaded very very late anyway). The story will not have any of my characters but will have a Pikachu fighting a Lugia so I'll put it that way. Also, for people who praised my artwork, that puts a lot of thought onto me and I thank you for that. I have been working on things very slowly but once again, I think having a job may help my mental health (a job that makes me happy at the least).
1. Lugia Project (will upload soonish)
2. A Catdragon's Healing (Vore)
3. Vanilla in Living Room (Vore)
4. In the Forest (Don't know how this will go)


Will heal soon and thanks for sticking around with me for this long,

~DragonX1010

I will be leaving for EF next week. I needed this trip to get out of the house since I've been cooped up here over the past summer (yes literally). It's been a long time since we haven't got a trip like this and I'm really looking forward to seeing everyone again. Unfortunately, however, I won't stay in Germany as long like last time. So if you happen to see me, come and say 'hi.' I'm usually pretty chill and like to listen to conversations. I will be using my very, very old MacBook Pro laptop for writings and some inks. However, in case I can't draw with it, I can always just use my sketchbook and then ink it on the computer that way. That's the idea of some of these silly artworks anyway. So basically, I won't be bringing in the new tablet that I invested for the newer computer. But it's better than nothing. If you like to read my stories, my gallery is always open. If you see a dork with glasses with a ponytail, that would probably be me. Also, I will be wearing the 'Vanilla' badge. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to commission the dragon form but maybe someday, I will get around to that or make one my own. For now, just find the cat form with an open maw.

I will be hanging around with a big group of friends there so there's gonna be a lot going on there for us. And yes, I will bring some video games with me lol. Even though I like movies myself, but I'm a huge gamer as well. So I will definitely have a lot of animated films along with me on that laptop (though not everything because it would take forever to get them all). Also, even though I'm a big catdragon with an appetite, I'm quite a shy person IRL, so if there's a subject I don't understand, my mind will probably be in space. Anyway, definitely needed this trip to get out of here and clear my mind from all that has happened. It's a real shame that I can't stay there as long like last time but that's the way it goes when you're on a tight budget these days. I'm sure you're all aware of this struggle and this year has been more tough than ever before and I'm not sure if we'll be able to recover from it for a long time.

Anyways, enough about the political talk bullshit, this trip is an escape from all of that and I needed a break. I will be rooming with  washamanoose and  rai-kun I will meet a lot of people there along the way as well and seeing familiar faces there, too. If you happen to be at EF, at least you'll see me there. ^^

That's all for the update.

# I might go to MFF after this but it's on solid ice. We'll see how that goes for me. Hopefully I'll be able to.

Back at July 2012, it started off with a crappy apartment building, then it came out with a simple cat story, and spawned into a fantasy setting crossovering between fan-art, and many silly stories at this day. And from that point on, my life started to change. I met new friends over this 'internet' and connected with people again. I listened to conversations, kept myself quiet from the world, and expressed my own opinions respectfully. Today, I still have those friends, and I lost a few (and it happens). From these 10 years, these were joyful and sorrowful days. I will be honest with all of you, I was NOT into all of this 'furry' business at first. Waaay before.

Back at 2011, those were the darkest days of my adulthood that I wish not to talk about but I think it is a good time now. When I was 20, I dreamed of becoming a fictional writer. However, my stories were no good (and to this day I'm still improving my own writing). I've always liked movies, games, and shows so I made some of my writings script-based at those days. However, reading more books also helped me out improve my own writing. When I wrote a terrible fanfic, (with hundreds and hundreds of chapters) nobody had ever read them. And the people that I hung around with were not actually friends of mine at all. With that being said, I was truly alone and had nobody I can turn to. I drank heavily, got temperamental problems (got into fights with many people), and hated the whole world for it. I didn't have any friends to talk to and nobody tried to understand me. I didn't have a job, no money, nor much of food at those days. I was close to being evicted by my own apartment. It gotten so far that I was suicidal. Yes, I was going to erase myself. But I didn't do it...

After being hospitalized, I still didn't know what to do with my life and my feelings for people are mixed up. However, after recollecting my thoughts at May, I decided to move in with my sister (didn't go out so well in the end either) but from there, that is when I made this 'alternate Deviantart account' known as DragonX1010. After that, I met a few nerds with a 'different' interest. Not the way I was expecting. From that point on, I was welcomed in open arms and searched for this 'vore.' Oddly enough, I was fascinated by this community and makes me wonder 'why' make all of this.

I suppose I can't find a reason. Whether it was fetish purposes, creepy purposes, or perhaps it was for entertainment purposes. Why do we do it? Once again, I can't find a reason at all. Perhaps it's because we do like round and squirming bellies.

I apologize for containing my works for so long but I've been stuck on a block for so long that I'm not sure they're not worth sharing. Even some personal writings that I've contained. Hopefully I'll be back in the game and just keep uploading things on a daily basis.

It isn't much for me to say but if it wasn't for some good people in this community and the current friends that I've got, I probably wouldn't know what to do again and be on that position again. Or perhaps I'd be in a total different group altogether. Who knows? You just gotta let life take you somewhere. It's true what they say. You can't wait for somebody. You have to find it yourself.


All I wanted to do in my life was to write for people, create imaginative worlds, and sometimes I found creative ways in each of my stories and also commissioned arts to promote my own writings and that also works very well for me. And eventually, I started to make arts on my own too. Though I've been making most of these arts on a private matter considering I'm still self-taught to this day.

Anyways, I'm sure you have read a lot of my past journals about this over and over again and this is probably tiring (yes, it is tiring of me venting about this. Poor me, too) but I've been hanging around on Discord servers to chill with a few friends. Also, been watching a lot of Twitch streams lately (mainly Rich the Moogle). Heck, those silly times were cheering this catdragon up and needs a good laugh again. I haven't been smiling for a long time and it's working for me. I guess that's the power of video game streams these days and I always mocked these. It turns out, I was completely wrong about them the whole time. I've streamed Kojima's MGS series in the past but I've never done any commentary. Who knows, maybe I will have the kitty courage to do a silly video game stream again with commentary. As for projects, they are actually going well. I feel pretty happy about them again. I have to do a few rewrites (which this one story I've rewritten about 6 times already) but things are going smoothly as I wanted to. Also, we got a new hot tub and relaxing there helps my mind a lot. Yeah, dad is kinda rich lol. Anyway, I can't believe it's been 10 years since I've created this account and made some of these stories. What I do want from myself is to 'improve my own behaviour towards the readers.' Though, haters are still frowned upon here. What I meant to say is, critiques are a good thing as they help a writer, an artist, a musician, and many creators out there to improve themselves. I've shared my own stories here and I feel like I've succeeded in doing that. I hope I can find the courage to grasp this again. I remember I was writing like crazy like no care in the world, and making my own world go round.

I will share a few arts from the stuff I commissioned from my Twitter page in case you all missed it out.

Anyways, thanks for sticking out with me this long.

I will see you some of you (or perhaps not) at Eurofurence. I cannot wait to escape from Canada for Germany. Yes, I'd rather be there than here now. Hope I get to stay here for my 20th anniversary or something. I dunno.

See ya in the next story.

As stated through my tweet by this link and title of this journal, I may open up commissions this weekend. I'll upload a few illustrations here. I've been working privately and quietly over the past few weeks. If you want more information and would like to commission me, please DM me, private message me through my Twitter, or note me in my main profile (here). Please keep things on detail as much as possible so I can work on your commission on the best of my own ability. A YCH may be on the works. Also, in light of this news, I MAY or MAY NOT be doing some art streams in the future. Depending on my mood and depending on how many people may be watching. Though, if nothing else works, I can always just work on my personal projects if all else fails. Please keep in mind that I'm a slow drawer. Here are a few things I draw and don'ts:

DOS:
- I draw vores. I'm okay with drawing my characters eating yours!
- My slots are unlimited up to this point! Please, ask as much as you want! :3
- I write stories as well but it will cost extra depending how long the story is gonna be.
- I draw macros. Show me the looms and the cute stuffs about the macro world.
- Depending on the success, I may do a stream of your commission. If you prefer to keep yourself anonymous, please let me know right away.
- Digestion and butts are accepted! These are literally fun for me to draw BTW! 0w0
- I'm also okay with my characters being eaten too (on my preference preds such as dragons, Pokemon, foxes, wolves and some others) :3

DON'Ts:
- No human vores. Meaning, I don't draw humans as predators. No exceptions.
- No alien-like species or robotics. But if it's a robotic arm or leg for example, I will do my best but I make no promises. They're just too complicated for me.
- Please do not be an ass even though you have paid. Continuing to do so will not result in your refund and you will only receive an unfinished drawing. This will also result in a block.
- I do not draw AVs, CVs, nor scatting. These things make me extremely uncomfortable to draw. I'm sure there are others that can help you there but that is not what I draw.
- Last but not least, that A LOT of people ask me about, rodent predators. I'm happy to announce that I will draw mouse predators as they are now accepted, HOWEVER, I will not draw these characters if they devour my characters. Such as Vanilla, Chocolate, Strawberry, Mint, and Cherry. They're strictly mouse eaters. If it's a mouse predator that eats another character, this is fine.


Thanks for reading on.

Hello all.

As I thought things would at least improve, unfortunately, that is not the case. As we all know, a war broke out at Ukraine as the Russians started invading the country and our food, housing, gas, and all our needs has significantly increased. Things are getting much more difficult for us to improve and all we can do is provide aid to the Ukrainians as they have lost family, friends, and houses due to this serious invasion. The more I read about this, the more I don't like Russians. I understand this wasn't their fault (mostly it's on Putin) but I cannot help but feel more anger as a Russian had tempted to steal my character and impersonate me in the past. I am not sure how I can forgive with my own feelings anymore. All I can say is, I stand for Ukraine and I hope they can drive away the Russians back to their country from where they came. I will be heading to Germany this summer for a week to visit with my friends and I have been tempting myself to look for a job since I have been struggling with my own funds. Another possibly that I can do is open myself to commissions but we'll see what happens. Despite some success stories, I'm still nervous opening myself more. Good news is though, I have a new tablet and I have been using it a lot for practice purposes and I love it. I don't think there will be any glitches up to this point. The last tablet gave me trouble because it never used a USB-C cable and I needed one. An HDMI will never suffice for me since I wanted 3 screens plugged in at the same time. Anyways, all is well on that end and I do like this tablet more than the last one that I returned. I think the Canadians are currently training the Ukrainians to fight (also the Americans).

Despite these horrible circumstances, the world seems to have changed ever since 2020 has happened. But it isn't all bad. At least I can chill inside my home, my RL kitty is growing bigger, family is keeping me under the roof (because I hadn't done anything illegal and paying rent fairly), and it has been very quiet.

There is a number of things that were in my head. Maybe too many things inside my head. Considering that I've already wrote my last journal a few months ago (before Christmas last year), I am still recovering little by little mentally. I will update you all further about 'life updates' and such. And who knows, maybe I'll have the ability to visit all of my close friends as possible but I can only take it slow. Anyways, this has been official but I will be back to EF this year again and staying with a few close friends there (as well as some new faces). Unfortunately, I was not able to get a room at the Estrel building (because it's so damn popular to get a room there). I was really looking forward to it too and I am heartbroken that I wasn't able to get a room there. But all that's in the past, and all we can do is move on.


Thank you for reading and I hope you all have a good day/night. You will see a story shortly here. I hope you have a good time reading it when I upload it.

PS: Please, as for minors who watch me, again, this is a 18+ channel. I understand that you all are curious but you might run into digestion stuff without warning. Just wanted to point that out as I get some bizarre comments and I can tell that a few people here are minors.

2021 was possibly the worst year of my life. While I hit 30, I was ready to fully grow up but not in the way that I expected... COVID wasn't the only thing that was difficult. See that wasn't the problem for me. I think the real problem was I pretty much lost my enthusiasm in a lot of things. I was completely self-motivated, I believe I was creative, I had multiple ideas in my head, and I had a lot more fun in writing (even some personal art projects that I've been doing). But then before I even 'hit' 30, everything completely changed. And I mean everything. Not only did I had to make complicated decisions, but I had to be to work out in the real world and also continue enjoying what I wanted to do. And with COVID and living under a basement, I was pretty conflicted in what I wanted to do with my life. I did have my troubles before but nothing like this before. Mental issues, depression, being completely unmotivated, and I've been barely doing any projects. I do like to keep the busy and the motivation in check but there aren't very many good therapists here in this town where I live or perhaps I haven't been looking hard enough for one. The complications of depression is real and I hope in 2022 will change that. Mentally and physically, I hope I can change that in the future. Hopefully I can get better in the near future.

Not only did I lost my touch, but I've also hadn't written anything for months.

Yeah, it wasn't doing very good for me. I do have multiple ideas in my head but they never came in. I did this simple project but... it was unshared after that. And honestly, I have no idea what that even is... However, I do know 'why' this is happening a lot and that is a strong word: Grieving. Grieving over the loss of a close sibling. And it happened so early too and we weren't ready for it. My mom didn't work for a year, and I haven't done much myself either as I preferred to settle down and think about everything that has happened. This is exactly what 'illegal drugs' to people. You either live another day or you're dead. Addiction is a real thing and it's not something you can't ignore. This also includes food especially if you don't eat anything that is healthy. I do try to eat some nice meals once in a while and it works (in a sense). Though I should stay away from the fried stuff once in a while which that also may cause a bit of depression as well. It is a good mind to keep it busy as that is part of the exercise, and if you don't get your brain to work, you have a lazy mind and your brain won't age (yes this is literally true). Which is why arts and writings (or being creative) is so important in my opinion. I don't like working in a labour position for the rest of my life despite I did make some 'decent' money but it ain't enough to satisfy me at all. Besides, the fact is... rent has increased and even food has increased. And it's happening to us every day of our lives... So... Here are the biggest reasons of the lack of uploads in this profile:

1. Depression.
2. Lack of motivation.
3. Couldn't find any fun of working projects.
4. Grieving over a loss.

There are a lot of number of reasons as you can probably tell already. However, despite everything that has happened for a whole year, I feel extremely lucky to have great friends who stuck around with me for so long. With that being said, thanks for being extremely patient with me as I said things were going to be 'normal' again but not exactly. That was kinda of a lie and I apologize for that. I promise you though, I am feeling a much better after recovering and taking a very long break. However, I have found my problem with my main computer and why it was slow.... Because I plugged it in too much... How? I invested a new Wacom One and I needed a USB-C hub with a HDMI cable for this to work. Yes, even trying with a 'normal' USB to HDMI does not work. It is not very logic and I'm not too keen about that. So I had to move my external SSD to the USB 3.0 which causes it to slow down. Simply because I have a lot of data in here. Of course I'm a stubborn person and I refuse to format it to speed things up despite the fact I got a backup anyway. Oh well... For now, I'll rethink about keeping the tablet or not and it's heck of a lot easier than using a screenless one. Though, it's the connections are my issues and I wish I did a little bit more research before I did a big investment. I do need a second display, that way I don't have to use switch from a browser with one monitor screen (for research in case I need it). I just find it a lot more convenient and easier for me to work with.

So if you are wondering how I had overcame all of this? This is simply because it's a good feeling to have friends to talk to me every morning when I wake up so it was a good feeling to give myself a long break. Considering I have trouble getting along with 'real' people, I feel pretty freaking fortunate to have people to talk with at a long-distance way. This is not for everyone but it keeps me going for sure. And with the COVID variant going on, I'm not sure if I'll be able to visit everybody this year too. We'll see how this goes. I decided to change around my schedule and we'll see how this goes. I will start this new schedule starting at January 3rd, 2022. I might open up commissions and some more YCHs during my time but that only depends on my mood. However, I think I would like to work on some personal works privately as I hope to go back to uploading works in a daily basis here. Usually I do a very good job at that. Writing is an art and it takes a lot of time to get writing. As I said to my followers before, if you want to keep writing, you gotta keep your fingers on that keyboard and start doing it. Of course, take your time with it too. I think it doesn't matter what kind of writing program you use but I have used Pages forever and I relied on it ever since I starting doing vore writings. Even Keynote for my interactive projects. Who knows? Maybe I'll get back to it but considering the death of 'Flash' I doubt I'll get back to it anytime. Who knows? Maybe that will change in the future when the mood swings. Or if I find a different method of adding in interactive stories in. If somebody out there found out how to upload interactive stories in this site without the need of Flash, please let me know for some suggestions.

Thank you for reading and keep on reading for some updates.

Love you all.

# Thank you for sticking with me for this long despite these trying times. Once again, I will change my schedule for January 3rd, 2022. For now, I needed a long break as my computer has been running slow. Though we'll see how things go for me in the near future.

Merry Christmaws and a Happy New Treat (yeah I made those up).

Hello guys.

Sorry that I haven't gotten back to you for a long long time but I have been having some severe main computer troubles and I believe I have some corrupted data going on in there. Luckily, I have things backed up but this means that I'll probably have to transfer my stuff manually when I decide to get back to it. Therefore, I'll be using my laptop for a few days probably so that way I can ease myself for a bit. If that doesn't work out, I'll probably will have to send it over to a store to get it fixed up. Of course, I wouldn't trust an 'idiot' over my personal and confidential data to someone. I did that once and most of my stuff was gone because of that. It has everything in it. My original content, my photos (including EF), my art documents, games, movies, etc.... it has it all. Hopefully I can fix this as soon as possible. It's embarrassing that an old OSX laptop such as this can run smoother than the main computer and this is considered a 'failing' drive and yet it runs pretty darn well still.

It's as clean and empty though which is probably why. It has some important documents in here but there is more stuff in the main computer's backup drive. Of course, I wouldn't dare touch it and bring it over here until I can get the issue fixed hopefully. For a moment, I thought I got everything fixed but that is apparently not the case as it is stuck and there's nothing much I can do about it except for formatting all of it. I haven't lost all heart and I was very lucky that I got things backed up before something terrible has happened. I also hate the fact that they try to push 'cloud data' these days and the worse part of it is... they force people to pay $$$ for it. This is exactly why I use my own drives. Anyway, sorry for not uploading much as these past few weeks were stressing me out and I wish there was something that I can control this situation. I will get back to you as soon as I 'painfully' bring my stuff back in. I have also written another story but sadly, that's in the main computer and there's not much I can do to get it until I can fix this serious problem. It's also embarrassing considering this IS an SSD. For now, I'll be operating on the laptop but my programs are extremely limited here. Therefore, no Windows, no power apps, not even Pages (yes, shockingly, Pages is gone in this laptop). Anyways, hope you guys have a good evening.

# I have been suffering from seasonal depression. I don't like how cold and dark it is up here. I just cannot wait until it is Spring again. At least this issue will keep me warm and busy...

I think from now on I'll upload stuff here every Friday. There are a lot of other past projects I've done and some of my own works (that I won't share cause I feel like they're too ugly to share here). During the past few weeks, I've been mostly sitting around, taking a huge break from bad stuff, and coping with my own depression as life has been completely different for me. I think most of my family is taking a break either way as I wanted to spend a little more time with them than actually working on personal works that don't really pay the bills. However, some commissions gave me a little boost so I really appreciated that but I feel like I need to do more to refine these works as I struggle with this over the past few years. And I notice that I've been sleeping a lot of times (perhaps due to my age of 30.) Another idea that I have has been extremely personal outside of the 'Vanilla' world. I do have a 'book' idea but I feel like I need to do more training myself if I want to make this book happen (at least before I die). I had been thinking about this for a long time and I don't want to rush this book out the door. But I suppose I'll give you all a hint about something: I have been inspired greatly by Brian Jacques and J.R.R. Tolkien. I've read their books hundreds of times like 'Redwall' and 'The Hobbit' and a few 'slice-of-life' books I've read as well. So yes, this may be a series that is extremely outside 'the vore.' I have been using my stories as my own training and adding them into vore of course because that's what you all like.

No worries, I will not retire from the community but I feel like a 'change' is needed. As for making a comic, I think that is impossible for me as I probably will have to work another 10 years to master the arts and that to me is exhausting enough. Once again, I will not abandon doing what I wanted to do but it's just something to seriously reconsider and think about my own skills. Because I don't want young people to think my stuff is crap before I go.

Anyway, I think that's enough of my vents and my plans. Though if things don't work out when I get a bit older, things in my life may change and I'll probably have to bite my own arm off and get a 'real' job and face reality of 'going back' to that place that I hate so much.

Anyway, that's my take in what's going on at the moment as I hope my works continue to improve in the future. Everything that I gained in the past has been basically lost and I hope to regain it back. Seems like a lot of people around me has moved on from me and I guess that is natural if you don't put content out there for the past year or so.

Have a good weekend.

If people are having an issue trying to download and view all of my older stories, you cannot. All links are broken and they're currently being moved to 'Google Drive.' I am currently closing down the Dropbox links because of my bad experience with them and I chose not to use it anymore. I had quite a bad day with it as literally all of my files were synced in and gone missing from my Desktop file so what I had to do is literally call Apple to get that particular file back so that way I can copy and paste things there again. I do my best to keep my own personal workflow organized and easy as possible for me but unfortunately, because of that 'auto sync feature' most of those were gone and I had to reclaim them again through my backup drive (thank goodness for Time Machine).

So with that being said, I will not use it anymore and no worries. I will do my best to relink them on each story I do and even the old ones. I apologize for the inconvenience of this.

Thanks

I've been quiet and have lacked uploads here due to my severe depression and anxiety after the events of what happened to my family and myself. And I'm sure many people know why and understand that I needed lots and lots of time alone. For myself: I'm feeling a little better but the scars mentally will probably take a lot more time to heal and that's something that can't be done easily. With that being said, I'm not sure how I feel about myself considering after what has happened. I never lost a sibling before at the worst possible time. Sure, we had a lot of disagreements but we had our share of wonderful memories when we were just kids, though I will not say much what he did and what he does as this is a family matter. I will continue to upload stuff here but expect art/stories to be much slower than before. This pandemic has driven me up the wall and I can't help but feel stuck at my own house much longer. Though, I do promise that I will try and work hard as a small-time artist myself. I may also consider taking more commissions as I've accepted some. If you'd like me to write a story, I can do that too but with a price as well depending how long you want the story. I've been on a writer's block for so long that I don't know what to do anymore and I was extremely close in retiring myself entirely in the community and even considered 'deactivating DragonX1010.'

But I didn't go through with it. Not because I lost motivation of myself and not because I was running out of ideas. But because I lost a valuable family member. If things don't go well for me in the end, I may have to reconsider for it to change my life a bit. And don't get me wrong, everything that I've experienced was incredibly positive and I was having an amazing time with my new friends. I probably would've been lost in life without the help of all the support that I got. But I know this is a selfish way to say but I feel like I needed 'more.' Just a bit more support to help keep my feet on the ground. I still feel lost after all that has happened to me and I can't help but feel too distracted and couldn't concentrate on my works anymore. With that said, I still want to create works and be myself so I don't want this 'thing' to be taken away from me.

I hope this clears this up for me a bit as I written this journal and update of you. Currently, I am working on a commission for somebody and I would be happy to share some more works here. The reason I'm going to Twitter often is because it's a lot easier and I don't have to write down a loooong description about the drawing that I've been doing. However, I digress as I will continue to share my works here with friends and my watchers here. I've also planned on sharing my top 3 favourite 2020 video game reviews (along with some drawings) here as well as the list is controversial but I think you all know why I didn't do that.

Thanks for coming in to view my works and reading many of my past stories as time has changed here. I'm sure a lot of new readers out there are still enjoying my old as well as new works here. As for Flash, it is gone so I'm afraid you'll have to find other ways to view my interactive stories here. Apologies for the inconveniences.

Thanks and love you all~

# I may also consider doing another Smash Tournament for a free commission that I may work on but that all depends on my entire mood. Don't hold your breath as this will happen because this is a 30% of that happening.

...Okay, I think it's a good time as any to explain my own situation up here. There is a damn good reason why Chocolate month is cancelled for me and I feel like Halloween is not gonna be a thing for me until next year... As of October 1st, 2020, at approximately 1:40 a.m. in the morning, a cop showed up at our doorstep suddenly. I found out that my little brother is dead... My feelings were shocked, and my heart has sank low. I was too upset and I almost couldn't even breathe. Thus, I immediately cancelled this event because I just couldn't even believe that this is all real to me, it was like a nightmare. From this point on, I'm not sure if I'll be doing any personal projects for quite some time nor I'll pay any commissions for this profile. This was all too sudden for me and my own birthday wasn't that great either... My 30th birthday turns out to be fucking depressing over the news. I can't even think straight with him gone as I've pushed him away as we had our last fallout together. We may have our bad times but there was a lot of good times with us together when we were just kids. It's like a part of me just died suddenly and I can't get it back.

As for personal projects, I might come back at it after Halloween during November. We had been recovering little by little but I do needed some time. We all knew that his death wasn't our faults but I wish things were a lot different. He had so many problems that I cannot even count. If only he had grew up to realize this... but it was too late for that. All I wanted from him is to say 'I was wrong. I'm sorry,' but I'll never get that now... I do need some time for a bit and I'll be working on a slideshow so that's my main focus for the time-being considering I'm the only one that 'knows computers.'

Thanks for sticking with me for this long and I promise to live my life to the fullest as much as possible.

Hello guys. Well, you might be wondering why there hasn't been an upload around here for so long. Well, this has A LOT to do with depression... With COVID 19 going on, the ongoing protests, and things that are going on around the world, it feels like things are a lot worse than ever before in these rough times. And it was hard to concentrate because of all of this. There is another huge reason why there are a lack of uploads... 'Missing Kitty.' I've been missing a my cat for an entire week and I'm not sure what could've happened to him and it hurts every day. He could've passed away or stolen for all I know. Hobbes was such a good kitty and this wasn't the first pet that I lost but as a independent person myself, I can't help but feel responsible for his disappearance. It really hurts a lot and I don't know what I can do to bring him back except post all the missing posters, ask around, call his name every day, but nothing is getting through to him. Whatever the case may be, I guess I can't get through to him. It really hurts... Hobbes has been always there for me for so long and I don't know what else I can do to bring him back but all I can do is wait and pray for his return. Despite that he hadn't got along with the other cats or with strangers coming to visit my house, he was a very good cat for me and I couldn't thank him enough for all of the motivation and my happiness while doing these crazy stories all on my own.

While I hadn't been doing anything much in these past few weeks and I'm sure a number of people are already moving on away from me because of my lack of uploads and lack of content going on here, I hope to recover from these traumatic events and continue with doing the things I wanted to do. I hope to continue writing and do some art for full-time again due to the lack of jobs out there. Besides, don't think anybody wants to hire this loser. But other than that, you know what has been happening and I hope to be a little bit happier in the future as I hope to recover from my loss. Hobbes was a 8-year-old kitty and I had him since August 2013. I won't forget the day that he was a little sad that he had to leave his own family behind but he finally opened up to me in a good few weeks and we were happy together. It'll be kinda weird working on my projects without him around. Even though I have been on my own for nearly a decade without anyone to talk to (with no real friends) I do extremely well on my own. I will continue with my works and I will share some uploads so prepare for the 'flood.'

Thank you for all of your support and being patient around with me.

I'm opening up another Smash competition today and  rai-kun will take on the role as artist for the competition and I'll of course take on the role to 'spectate' and watch the entire match. Once again, I will only accept 6 challengers for this tournament and I wanted to do this through red robin. Last match was kinda of a disaster considering how I mismanaged the whole thing and I felt a little bad about it. This will be a Smash Bros Ultimate tourney competition. But I won't make the same mistake again as I will keep it real. So if you are a fan of macros and love to be nommed by a giant cat, this would be the place for you. As for the idea and perspective in 'how' you want to get eaten by Macro Vanilla, it's all up to the winner! This will be a 'coloured' image. I will open the tournament at May 8th at Friday so this will be surprisingly quicker. However, I will provide practice sessions like last time before the real thing so be sure to prepare yourselves!

RULES: (SAME AS BEFORE!!)

1. You must be respectful to your competitors! This is a #1 rule of all times. Disrespecting others will get you disqualified from the match. SHOW YOUR SPORTSMANSHIP!!

2. I considered the rule about 'pick one character' is a bit much so I decided you can only pick your character only ONCE!! Be sure to use your mains! It's set in stone once you choose your character.

3. There will be no items, no Smash balls, nor any FS meters. The stage WILL be Omega. The matches is best out of 2. So if you win twice, you advance to the next round. I will be spectating these matches to monitor each one. In the final round I will abolish the rule about Smash Balls and FS Meters as well. This tourney requires skill!

4. If you have life issues during the day of the tournament, please let me know beforehand and we can try it another day. But you must be available. I am planning on opening some practice sessions before the day of the tournament and that'll be on the weekends. If you're still not available and show no communication with me, then you are considered eliminated from the tournament.

5. Once again, these matches will be 1-1 matches. Before you commit yourself, again, these are for the prey only. If you are a pred yourself, then this place may not be for you. Your character will be the one eaten. Just be considerate about it. Please have your ref ready if you're a winner!!

Thank you for taking your time to read the rules wittle ones! If anyone is not available by the-said deadline, the tourney will move to next week to May 15th-16th instead. With that out of the way, good luck on the slots! Please comment me or DM me through Discord if you are interested in grabbing a slot! I will be picking by a generator!

Love you all!!

Black Death (1347)

Swine Flu (2009)

Spanish Flu (1918) - One of the worst pandemics

Alright... We all know what this is ALLLLL about and this is something that cannot be ignored. The COVID-19 has been causing a lot of ruckus lately across the globe, and a lot of people are getting sicker by the minute... And unfortunately, with all the misinformation around the social media, people are misguided and not very-well-educated by this whole situation. For one thing, DO NOT believe in anything what the media is telling you, it's all bullshit. Seek a health professional if you are infected and stay isolated at your home to keep others from being sick. If you want to socialize, social distancing is the best option. Meme or not, but wash your hands (seriously, don't be disgusting and just do it) and shower yourselves daily (twice a day even). Eat as much healthy foods as possible (treat yourself well out there). We are all smart so use your minds and think rationally about the whole situation. Panic and you will get sicker and sicker making yourself a lot worse. Pneumonia is real and it is nasty (I had it once before). China and Italy was hit pretty hard as I have friends over at Italy but so far what I've been getting from my friends there, they're okay so really down at the US, think rationally instead of misguided information. The virus WILL get a lot worse if people continue to panic and the numbers will climb due to this fact. Ask your supervisor if you can stay home if you are sick (even if they say no, do it anyway). Working at home may be another good solution (as I currently am). Treat yourselves well out there. If you need to learn about the COVID-19, I have provided some links down below in this journal.

Thank you for your time and stay healthy out there little ones. I will continue on my personal projects to keep you guys entertained due to this situation. We can go through this together. Stay smart, stay healthy, stay calm, and stay rational out there. Love you all.

Wow guys, you just devoured all your slots in one gulp! 0.0

Sorry for those who wanted to come in. Maybe next time!

Have a nice day everyone!! <3

Thank you!! <3

NOTICE: The slots have been updated after an incident and that person is not participating in the tournament due to bad behavior. Thank you checking in!



UPDATE:

 ermine is the official winner of this competition and he will take part of the commission that I had planned for him! What a good little morsel to be fighting so hard for this battle. Also, I have to apologize in how I set up the matches unlike the last one. What happened is, I only set up round robin without any playoffs so it really got me off guard so there was confusion. Next time, I will set it up better so that way the system balances itself out. So for those who felt like they were 'cheated' during the tournament, I'm sorry. It won't happen again, I can assure you that. With that out of the way, thank you for participating in the tournament.

Love you all! <3

For a disappointing lack of interest, the project has been cancelled and I don't know what else I'm gonna do for story commissions anymore. I'm thinking about throwing in the towel on this one and I'm not sure what I can do for future commissions like this. Sorry guys...

For the one person that bought the slot will get his money back. I had failed to deliver to get people right in and this hasn't happen very often... Sorry for the disappointment guys..

Love you all

JOURNAL PART 1:

Hey! Are you looking forward to a 'spooky horror story' about a giant vampire catdragon in a scary castle? Are you a fan of SWF, digestion vore, and blood sucking?! Well! Look no further if this is the place for you and I am currently open for this mysterious story as well as an art piece with this! I will work on both the story and the art piece with my own time. As for his own form, I leave that part up to the participant as well! I will open up 6 slots for this piece. It will cost $30 USD each slot and additionally, if you want to be added to the art piece, it's $40.

PLOT: "After the events of last year, his servant, Zoroark, invited a few special guests for his master, Chocolate. It is another dark night for the dragon, and his castle has returned to reign terror. In the past, he has conquered vampire hunters, kidnapped Zoroark as a loyal servant, and destroyed his human owner in his own past and turned himself partially evil (due to his eyes turning red). He finds his curse a blessing to him and he enjoys intimating his victims before he makes a meal out of them. The invited guests are the mice in his little game of cat-and-mouse. Naturally, Chocolate is the cat and the guests are the mice but they have no idea they're being watched... Their car is broke down, their smartphones have no service, they cannot call for help, and they're on their own. They have to either work together in this battle of cat-and-mouse or betray each other to save themselves..."


And that is the basics of it. I will also attempt to do my best for the art piece. If there are any problems at all with it, please let me know! To register for a slot, please provide a reference to participate in the art piece (to help me draw your character. Descriptions don't work, sorry. Otherwise, please participate in the story instead if you don't have a ref). Comment below if you want to register

Thank you and happy travels my friend.

JOURNAL PART 2:


Okay, now that's announced, you don't have to read this part if you don't want. I want to talk a little 'serious' in 'life situations' atm.

Well, things in my life could've been better... Struggling a bit to find a place to leave here but I think I decided to wait until Spring. Might find a job here but I'm taking serious considerations on going for self-employment again. Though, that would mean I would probably struggle a lot with more issues with family and I wanted to be left alone for a long time. I am still seeking a roommate out there but unfortunately, I stay myself away from people here so I struggle all the time. Not to say that I 'hate' people but it's really difficult for me to communicate and sometimes get along with others. And I'm always afraid and intimidated by others. You're probably wondering, 'You're a Canadian. I'm sure you can get along with other people just fine.' No, this isn't the case at all... I'm just venting a bit as I go along with this but I hope in next summer that I'll be able to leave and think about the things in my own life. Also, for doing this, I am working into not only moving out but hopefully go to AnthroCon next year but that might be a pipedream considering about 'plans have changed.' But I haven't given it up on that yet considering that I'll be seeing a friend again for coming and hopefully some more familiar faces. This is basically why I went to Eurofurence is because I know a lot of people throughout the Internet and it really works (though not everyone is trustworthy). Other than that, it may take me a while for me to get around.

However, I do have a plan to keep myself busy... It's not much but I have been thinking about doing 'writing slave sessions,' 'commissions,' and 'anything that'll keep me busy right here without any disturbances.' I will work hard a lot even with my fingers start to bleed or I get sore for it. For now, I'll update you in what I had planned in the next thing I'm gonna do. Sorry that I haven't been posting stuff much this year but it has been pretty hellish for me up to this point and I hope next year won't be too bad as family agreed to leave me alone for a while. With that being said, I hope 2020 doesn't give me hell. This summer has been incredible though and I won't forget the time that I had at Eurofurence and Germany.

If there is an opportunity (someone in Canada willing to roommate with me) I'd be happy to do it. Though, I'll have to do a lot of background check about yourself so that way I don't feel unsafe from someone that I don't know. If it's a friend and someone that I know, that would be fabulous. For now, I am drawing the line, vented about my own problems here, looking into finding a new place, etc, etc... We'll see what happens in the future but for now, I will most likely open all of these opportunities by October so I can get myself in-check and be okay with myself.

Thanks for reading about my serious talk, vents, and other things that I planned on.

Love you all

Well, back home and recovered from Jetlag. It was exhausting and a fun ride. Unfortunately, it's back to reality as well to the same boring life as before and being my 'normal-me' again lol. Anyways, all I can say up to this point is this: Thank you. Thank you for the experience at EF as well as the trip in Germany because it was super fun. At first, I thought I was going to hate EF but I gave it a chance for a few days and fortunately for me, I liked it as well. I spend a lot of time at the Dealer's Den, art events, chilling out with friends, played Smash with friends, drank at the mini-bar, and interacted a few fursuiters out there. HOWEVER, I DID came across some uncomfortable people who think they're really are their fursonas and I hate those kinds of people a lot but I digress, I felt protected and comfortable with my friends. All I ask is that... please do not go into too into character if you know what I mean. ^^;

I think my favourite fursuiters are the Japanese Kemenos and I think they're cool and cute. Very kind as well. At first, I was pretty fucking shy (like really fucking shy) but I managed just fine and witnessed a lot of cool fursuiters who wasn't uncomfortable. Most of the time, they're nice (while some creepy unfortunately). Other than that, I'm happy that I went. From this point on, I do plan on going to the AnthroCon next year but I do need to find a job to make this happen. Though, I have a huuuuuuge possibility that if I can't find a job at my current residence here, I MIGHT have to move out of here. But that's only an 'if' and we'll see what happens in the future. I feel kinda unhappy living here 'cause I feel it's small and the lack of jobs doesn't help me at all. Anyway, I'm recharged, well-rested, and back to nomming folks again.

It was quite the experience for me and there is a lot to tell so I have everything recorded through a story so that way I don't get myself lost writing everything down in one journal 'cause that would be a nightmare lol. Anyway, I will post this little EF record by tonight.

Here is the list of friends that I hanged out with:

1.  sparkythechu
2.  htfcuddles
3.  raichu93
4.  katojana
5.  renaayama
6.  rai-kun

Thank you guys so much for all the memories and the fun times at Eurofurence and Germany. I will cherish them with all of my heart. I hope to see you again someday.

Love you all so much.

~DragonX1010

Fuck it. Let's do it x3

Stolen by: EVERYONE!

I'll be staying in a hotel with  raichu93 and  rai-kun

Airplane, bus, and car (after EF).

What is your gender?
Male

How old are you?

I don't know! Small! :D

Which languages do you speak?
English

Where will you be most of the time during the day?

Do you do free art?
Hell no!

Do you do trades?
Again, hell no!

Do you do commissions?
Can't do during the con.

What suit(s) will you have?
Normal clothes lol. Though I may wear my Persona 5 hoodie once in a while just for show.

Can I dance with you?
Unless I know you well enough.

Can I talk to you?
Sure. Let's talk about some crap. (Though I'm extremely anti-social)

Can I hug you?
Ask first. Don't try to be weird. ^^;

Can I take photos of you/with you?
Again, ask first. ^^;

PLEASE DO! Free food! :D

I drink occasionally (socially) but I ain't a smoker.

Are you buying art?
Possibly!

What do I have to watch out for, when I am meeting you?
Canadian here. Though this is a tough one. I'm pretty anti-social due to my Asperger's Disorder but I do my best to keep things positive and I'm an easygoing guy. I try to find a topic that I like and talk about that.

What is the best way to contact you?
Twitter. My Discord and Telegram are available but that's for friends only.

Alright everyone. Listen closely. Happy to say that August is approaching and I will have to prepare myself for a loooooong trip over to Europe. This will be a new experience guys, I've never left Canada before, let alone going on quite a long trip like this. Not to mention that I WILL be seeing a couple of longtime friends and I will roommate with  rai-kun and  raichu93. I don't know everyone who I'll see there, but if you by chance are going there, I will update photographs of myself (including a number of friends) at Twitter. And Facebook (for some parts) will be for the journey at Germany by car (no worries, I won't be driving lol). The reason I don't use Facebook often is because of family reasons. But I'll keep both places updated for the trip and I'll bring my HD camcorder as well. I hadn't been using the thing since college so it'll be weird going back to it lol but it still works very well. I will depart in this trip by August 12th and I will do my very best to keep my personal Discord server updated.

So in case of emergency, you know where to find me. I will always make contact but due to the different timezones in Europe, I will most likely be around at night. Everything is booked and there is no turning back up to this point. Working for that plane ticket was a nightmare and I do hope it is all worth the effort. ^^;

There will be a lot of friends to hang around with and if you see my Vanilla badge, you know where to find me. I have uploaded this badge and I will receive it when I get there. I will be wearing it throughout the EF conference.

Other than that, I hope you guys have a wonderful day and thank you very much for sticking around with me for quite some time. I will return home at August 24th from Dusseldorf.

With that all being said and done, see ya guys later and love you all!! (And hope to see you there too)

This is 'not' a art collaboration sadly. This is a 'story' collaboration. However, I will provide a illustration sketch myself (just to embarrass myself lol). This is a long story so I haven't done a long project like this in a long time and I've started to write the plot personally myself. The collaboration is for Germany and some funds would really help me biiiiig time. This story is about Mint and Vanilla will not appear in this story. This is about him and how he made a new life in his own library. Not only is this a long story, but it'll have vore in it. In order to participate, it'll be $20 each slot. If you want to be included in the illustration, it'll be $30 (for some extra work). Note that the illustration will not be coloured as it'll be greyscaled instead. I will do my hardest to make it work for you. And don't worry, I won't leave the project hanging as I already set up a schedule myself to keep myself working and not being lazy. This is summer after all and I like to keep myself busy in those times.

In order to participate, please, please, PLEASE DO NOT give a tiny little description. It makes no sense to the story as I needed fully detailed as possible. Try to make your character interesting, otherwise, you will not get a slot for this and try to spellcheck. For example: 'ur', or 'i' is not a correct way to describe your character. It's just something to keep in mind because I usually like to copy and paste your description so that way I don't have to rewrite something different for you.

With that being said, here are a few things I need if you want to participate:

SLOT REQUIREMENTS:

1. You must have a paypal account.
2. You must be willing to be prey for this story. This story won't contain digestion! :3
3. You must pay upfront in order to be accepted at the slot. If you want to be in the illustration, please provide a reference (to make my life easier).
4. You must be polite. If you want something changed, I'll be happy to change it. I will provide WIPs for the story. If you want me to change something that makes no sense, I will be very happy to do so. But please don't be rude.
5. Please keep in mind that there won't be any refunds. The reason is because work has already started and I don't want to start over if you change your mind after paying.



MYSELF REQUIREMENTS:
1. I will work on this project starting July 11th or later (depending how much I got from the slots).
2. I will work on it every night.
3. Take walks when necessary.
4. Try to complete this story before EF!
5. Have fun and enjoy life!!


HOW TO SIGN UP: (WRITE THIS AT THE COMMENT SECTION)

EXAMPLE:
Name: Mint Silver
Race: Catdragon hybrid
Gender: Male
Ref/Description (if you want to participate in the illustration, please add a link for your ref, otherwise, describe): Mint has white fur, scruffy orange hair, a blue rose on his left ear (he doesn't wear it in his anthro form), tall, green eyes, a bushy tail, and he appears as a fully-grown cat.
Personality: Mint Silver is a Librarian and the most matured cat out of all of his siblings. He is not a big eater, though, he still eats his victims out of noisy readers. He is a well-mannered catdragon and has the power to transform into his dragon form when necessary. He is the biggest and largest dragon in the family. He has the ability to swallow a Lugia whole! Mint has grown and enjoys his life. He is very calming and very kind to people who are struggling, especially for those who need help. However, he dislikes people who're noisy at his library and that's not something that any reader doesn't want to come across.



And there ya have it. I hope that settles it and explains things. After the story is completed, you will receive a PDF file of the story including a illustration within it at the end of the page. Thank you for your time and I hope that clears things up!

GOOD LUCK AND LOVE YOU ALL!!

~Love DragonX1010

While I didn't get all the slots, that's okay. I kinda expected much about this situation lol but I will go along with this anyway. Thank you guys very much for the support and I will work my hardest to reach my goal before my trip to Germany (and EF). As for the two other slots, I may use my 'extra characters' for the victims but we'll see how that goes. For now, I hope you guys enjoy Mint's Library. There is more to this character than you think!

~Love DragonX1010

Thanks for all the voting and I've made my final decision after the last 72 hours of rest and calming rethinking... Starting this Monday, I will work (seriously this time) will work on my personal projects with a usual routine. I've already scheduled myself in what I'm going to do in order to keep myself self-motivated. I'm sorry that I've been such a bother and made you all worry a lot. I've been feeling extremely flustered with my life and in truth that I needed a break from social media so I decided to play Smash to help cool my nerves (Joker hell yeah) and that worked quite a bit for me. I've left things alone for a bit and things changed quite a lot after I was laid off from work.

Once again, I wouldn't be sure what to do with myself if it wasn't for the form being so positive and happy people watching my back this whole time as I did not realize it very well. I've been away for a long time and I'm ready to go back in the game. And yes, the collab commission will still wait for now but I decided to press forward and move on from this. I will be extremely active with my stories, a little vore illustration story is being made, and I'm glad that you guys are happy for the things that I do. It makes me realize that I'm not alone. (Yeah, it does get lonely at my room with nobody to talk to) but hey, my world inside this monitor has active people watching over me and they have busy lives just like I do. So it's time to slap my face, write like a badass, and draw to kiss ass (kiss ass, love it).

I've closed this ridiculous form and I'll continue with the projects.

See you guys at a new experience of my personal works...
