Hey I just wanna say thanks for everything. Even just the little positive or playful comments you send, they motivate me and keep me going more than you realize. I want you to know that you're amazing, and I can't thank you enough for being in my life. Love you so so much

Sorry for disappearing for a couple days. The pump in my PC burned so I had to send it off for repairs. Thankfully it was under warranty so the fix is free.

Also, you're all amazing, and I love you. Your comments make me smile more than you think. Stay awesome

Good evening everyone! I hope you're all staying safe and keeping healthy :3

I wanted to say thank you so much for your overwhelming support! A couple days ago I hit 1k subs on Youtube! ^.=.^

I just uploaded my 1k Youtube Subscriber special tonight where I went through all past fanart and memes of my stream, as well as a couple clips while my community raced with me on Marbles tracks :D

Now, for an update regarding my posts on this website.

You may have noticed that I scrapped all the thumbnails. I do stream to Twitch and upload to Youtube every single day. As such, I also want to post here daily, and the thumbnails enabled me to do exactly that! I don't regret them one bit :3

However now, my community has grown significantly. My Wigglies (community members) frequently produce fanart for me, and I can't thank them enough! You'll be seeing me post lots of wholesome SFW artwork here now and for the foreseeable future on a daily basis :D

If you would like to see all my fanart and memes as well as to be a part of my lv 3 discord server with TONS of dragon emotes and my amazing community all about positivity and love, join my discord ^.=.^

Stay awesome everyone, and know that I love you very very much <3

Happy New Year everyone!! I hope you have many fond memories and learning experiences to look back on

For me, this was easily the best year of my life. Sure, I went through the lowest of lows, but I also went through the highest of highs! Such is life! I've learned and grown and improved so that I can lead and entertain my community properly :D

The beginning of this year was not long after I started streaming. I built a foundation of positivity and love, and we've only grown since then :3

I'm extremely excited for the future! Won't be long before I can apply for Twitch Partner! ^.=.^
My Discord Server is also currently at 27 boosts! We're so close to maxing out at a lv 3 discord server, which is awesome because I'll be commissioning many more new emotes soon!! :D

Aaaaaa, everything is coming together and falling into place so perfectly and it's amazing. It feels so good to see my hard work paying off. Thank you so much for believing in me and supporting me! Those who have been there for me, you are family

Thank you for being the amazing people you are! I wish you the best :3

It's the most wonderful time of the year again!

I'm an ice dragon, so this season makes me doubly happy! And I just wanted to say I love you all, and I'm very grateful to have you in my life. And i mean EVERYONE!
Live is an adventure with ups and downs, and I've met people who I absolutely adore along with people who grind my gears, but I'm grateful for all of you. Thank you for being in my life and impacting me the ways you have. Whether directly or indirectly, intentionally or unintentionally, you've all helped me grow :3

To the fandom as a whole, thank you for giving me acceptance, a chance to accept myself for who I am, for my interests.
Thank you for the amazing friends I've met. Thank you for enabling me to build my community of Wigglies that I'm proud of and absolutely love! We're growing day by day and things are getting better and better :D

It's hard work, but I'll never start pouring my heart into what I do, because it's my turn to contribute and give.
Just as I've been doing since day 1, I'll continue giving my stream and community all I've got, because nothing matters more to me :3

I LOVE YOU ALL! LIFE IS AMAZING, AND I'M SO HAPPY AND BLESSED! THANK YOU!!!!
I HOPE YOU ALL HAVE AN AMAZING DAY AND AMAZING LIVES!

Whether you celebrate Thanksgiving or not, I hope you've all had a fantastic day!



Honestly, I wanted to say thank you so much to those of you who support me. I understand this is Furaffinity, and I'm well aware of what many people post and watch for on this website.

My uploading focus has shifted dramatically towards stream-related art (though I do still post standard pictures from time to time) because that accurately represents where my time and focus is now. This is who I really am. I stream and upload every single day, and I'm constantly working on that.



Some have unwatched me due to my shift in posts, and I'm perfectly ok with that. However, the overwhelming majority have stayed, and in fact I've gained a considerable amount of new watchers! People who are interested in my stream or at least the relevant artwork and watch me for me, rather than for my lewds.

I've met new faces in my stream from here as well, and it's been a blast chatting with you and creating memorable experiences together :D



To those of you who genuinely care and believe in me and want to see my passion and dream become a reality, you truly are amazing and precious to me, and I can't thank you enough. Everything you do for me does not go unnoticed, and I love you very much! Thank you for being in my life

The stream today was freaking amazing!! I can't thank you enough for your support! Had tons of fun streaming the Celeste DLC, and the turnout was unreal! Saw a lot of familiar names and hung out with FA friends on Twitch :3

For those who don't know, I've actually streamed every single day without exception for over a year now, and I had over 2k followers on Twitch before I ever mentioned my stream here. Some of you might wonder why I waited so long to mention my stream here.

Well, the reasons changed over time.



1) In the beginning, it was due to lack of confidence. I didn't feel that I had the right to advertise here given my small size and low stream quality at the time. I wanted to improve and grow and prove that I could grow on Twitch without having to use my FA account :D

2) Many months later, the reason instead became fear. I had been backstabbed by manipulative, envious furries who saw my potential and accomplishments and wanted to steal them from me while creating drama in my community. I was naive at the time, and they were successful. I was afraid to bring in more furries because of what some had done to me. However, I've learned a lot from each situation, and I'm a lot better at catching backstabbers. I've also put strong rules in place that make it extremely difficult for ill-willed people to use me.

3) I was afraid that an overly furry atmosphere would push nonfurries away from my stream; however, over time I've found a good balance that makes the stream accessible to everyone :3



Without advertising to FA, I was actually able to reach the 75 viewer average across 30 days! This enabled me to apply for Twitch Partner! However, I was rejected. They want to see that I can maintain the numbers and continue to grow. As I learned from my friends, it's usually best to actually apply with an average well over 75 in order to increase your odds of getting accepted. So I'll be keeping on the grind and will reapply again hopefully in a month or two :D

I can't emphasize enough how happy I am with how things went today! I'll definitely be mentioning my stream on FA a lot more, and I'm very excited to share this journey together with you! You guys commented on my high energy, and I'll definitely continue to demonstrate that as usual! I look forward to involving you a lot more in my community, my passion, and my dream, and doing my best to entertain you and make your days better.

Thank you all very much. You're the best, and I love you very much




Also for those who would like to follow for the future, I'm live every single day from 1-5pm CT at: https://www.twitch.tv/garoshadowscale

Haiiiiiii everyone! I hope you've been doing very well :3

I just want you to know that you have no idea how much your support means to me. Seriously. Every fav, every watch, every comment really warms my heart. There were times when I was feeling down but reading your comments just really cheered me up. It also drives me to always be the best I can be and to stay positive for all of you, because you deserve nothing but happiness and love. And I genuinely love you

Unfortunately though, I will likely no longer be able to consistently thank everyone for favs always. I have been extremely busy recently and that has made it difficult enough to upload. To send thank you messages for 400+ favs within a 24 hour period (as was the case in my recent upload) is tremendously overwhelming. Don't get me wrong. I genuinely love and appreciate the favs and still very much enjoy and want them. I just don't have the time to actively shout on your pages one-by-one to thank you for them. I apologize for that. It was pretty funny actually. I was sending so many thank you shouts for my most recent upload that I got an automated message from FA several times telling me that I had sent too many messages too fast and needed to slow down XD

It breaks my heart a bit honestly. It's kinda become tradition for me at this point. I love wiggling on your pages and sharing the icy, happy love. I just don't really have the time for it anymore. Maybe I'll be able to do it sometimes, but honestly I imagine that most of the time I'll just be thanking for watches. I'll always respond to comments and shouts too, as that is much more manageable. But thanking for each and every fav is just getting kinda overwhelming, sorry :c

Thank you all for participating! There were 74 entries in this raffle. I'm still really shocked by how this turned out, particularly from the second winner. The winning numbers were #13 and #58 in that order. These numbers correspond to  eclipse_prodigy and  jarren_ironclaw

The reason why I was so shocked by Jarren's win was because he also won my 250 watcher raffle several months ago. The prize in that raffle was significantly less valuable than the prizes here, though, so I intentionally let him enter. However, of his own accord, he insisted to pay for a third winner to join the picture with me and him. As such, another number was randomly generated, and the winner was #1, corresponding to  Iruuka

Congratulations! I'll get in touch with you three to discuss our pictures soon. And sorry Jarren, but you're too lucky for me to handle. I'm gonna have to prevent you from joining my future raffles (seriously, 2.7% chance, how the hell. My mind is still blown)

Thank you all for participating! It was really a pleasure to read all of your positive comments. Don't feel bad if you didn't win! I'll likely be holding another raffle around 1k watchers or so. I genuinely wish you all the best and love you and hope that you all experience happiness and love in your lives, both receiving and sharing it with others ^.=.^

Rawr, hi everyone! I hope you've all been having an awesome day ^.=.^

First of all, I wanna give a massive thank you to all my watchers and friends. You have no idea how much you do for me or how much my online life here means to me. Over the past couple of years, I've been able to explore myself among like-minded individuals and to learn so much more about who I am and how I should be. Thanks to making so many friends here and meeting so many amazing people, I've become more and more socially confident as well as built general confidence in myself and in who I am. It's helped me establish my own identity and realize what makes me tick. If not for the fandom and all the incredible people I've met, I would not be the cheerful, caring, loving, optimistic dragon I am today. You give me purpose and happiness, and I love you all. Really, you melt the ice around this ice dragon's heart, and I treasure all of you. You're more precious than the shiniest jewels in any dragon's hoard

As such, I wanna give back to the community who has made such an incredibly positive difference in my life. This raffle will be much more generous than the previous. There will be TWO different winners who will get free art with me, and both pictures will be fully shaded with a background. Not only that, but I am allowing for the pic to be either SFW or NSFW! However, if you want NSFW art with me, your character will have to be a male scaly. Anyone is allowed SFW art with me though, regardless of gender or species ^^

The already confirmed two artists who will be doing the raffle prizes are:
 bitemylip
Example 1
Example 2
Example 3

 ladyvenommyotismon
Example 1
Example 2
Example 3


The rules to enter are very simple:
1) You must be watching me (new watchers welcome)
2) You must have a full visual reference of your character (No text references allowed)
3) Comment below and tell me about something positive in your own life that you're grateful for if you want to enter. I'll give you a number.
4) Again, the art can be SFW or NSFW, but if you want NSFW art with me you must be a male scaly (Dragon, dino, lizard, etc.)

And that's it! The raffle will run until April 2 (not April 1 because I don't want this getting mixed up with April Fool's day)

Best of luck to all of you, and thanks again for everything! I love you all very much ^.=.^

14 watchers participated, and entrant #7 turned out to be the winner in the random drawing!


This corresponds to  jarren_ironclaw
Congratulations! I will get in touch with you to discuss pose details.


Thank you all for participating and best of luck next time!

First of all, my deepest condolences for my fellow Texans who were struck by Harvey. Whether your griefs are small or large, I wish you all the best and hope for minimal additional harm and maximal swift recovery. My prayers are with you all.

As for me, I do live near Houston, Texas, but my area was not hit too hard. There has been some flooding due to the repetitive downpour, but it's nothing compared to some other areas of Houston that are practically submerged. Many people lost their homes or even died. I'm grateful that my family is safe, and I hope things will soon calm down for everybody. My understanding is that this is the first real day of the hurricane for my area, so I'll be careful.

Best of luck to you all. Stay safe *hugs*

Alrighty! Now that I'm over 250 watchers and have an example of what the raffle pic would look like, I'm ready to get this started! First off, I wanna thank you all again for your support. It's really very much appreciated.

The raffle pic will be a SFW super refined sketch between me and the winner made by
Example

The pose details will be discussed between me and the winner when the raffle ends.


Entering the raffle is simple. Here are the rules:
1) You must be watching me (new watchers welcome)
2) You cannot enter if we already share a super refined sketch that I paid for fully (gotta give others a chance at free art ^^)
3) Comment below and tell me something positive that happened to you today if you'd like to enter

And that's it!

The raffle will last till the end of this month. (i.e. I'll announce the winner around September 1st)

Best of luck to you all and thank you again!

Rawr, hey everyone! Been a while since I wrote a journal, so I figured it was time for an update ^.=.^

You've probably noticed that I've been much more active on FA recently, uploading again and commenting frequently. With school out of the way, I've had much more time on my hands until I find a job. I'm happy to have been able to take the opportunity to meet more people and to make new friends. I've enjoyed every moment of it; I love you guys :3


At the time of writing this journal, I'm at 248 watchers. I really can't thank you all enough for your support. It means a lot to me *hugs you all*
To that end, I'll be holding a 250 watcher raffle very soon, so keep an eye out for that. Any watchers, both new and old, will be welcome to try their luck. The winner will be in an SFW pic with me done by the lovely :3

I hope you all have a lovely day!

This year was not without its challenges, but as the saying goes, "Life doesn't get easier, you just get stronger."
Regardless of what this next year may bring, I aim to make the most of it.
I hope this next year is very pleasant for all of you, but I also encourage you to stay strong through whatever tough times may creep in. Have a wonderful new year, everyone! *hugs you all* ^.=.^
