General | Posted 2 weeks ago"Hi, I'm Random!"
"And I'm Modnar."
"Ask us anything! Put some question for both of us, and we'll give separate answers."
""We'd love to do this on a regular basis. Surpirse us!"

My new Discord server is open! Contact me to enter
General | Posted 2 weeks agoI announced it yesterday, today I finally created my new personal Discord server. The name is Random's Free State.
A pair details about it:
- It is invite-only, at least for now. But if you are interested, you can write me and I'll send you a link.
- It has a NSFW section, but you can just not ask to access that role if you don't want to see it.
- It still wants to be a safe space where to talk about yourself, so you can talk about whatever your orientation is.
- I added a pair bots to it, like two that make you play Uno and Connect 4, plus a music bot to listen to songs together on voice chat.
Hope I can see you there!

My goodbye to Dragon-Human Association (and new server ann.)
General | Posted 2 weeks agoIt's been one week, and I spent this last week thinking intensely about whether I have done the right thing and what I want to do in the future. I do have an immediate answer now, so it's just fair to mark this new milestone of my life with a proper explanation.
So, on 2025/11/19, after just a little more than eight years, I have left the group I have co-founded and that has meant so much for me. I have left Dragon-Human Association. It's been all of a sudden, after one single bad argument, but well, it was the last strain for me. Easy to think that just having survived a planned attack against furries (see here: https://www.furaffinity.net/journal/11254479/) just exacerbated all my feelings, and eventually encouraged me to do something I had wanted to do for a long time, without thinking too much about it.
So yeah. I had thought about it. I never dared being honest about it to any of my companions, and I'm sorry for it. It's just one of those things you're too scared to say. In previous years, I wouldn't certainly have walked away like this after stressful situations, in fact, DHA was my haven from stressful situations many times, especially in 2020. Although sometimes the group itself was cause of stress.
But what changed?
Well, we gotta start from the origins. How was DHA born on first place? It was 2017, I was nothing but a guy on DeviantArt that wrote stories about dragons befriending humans, and through collaborations and so on the general idea of a fictional organization came up. First it was just a DeviantArt group, then from the idea of one of the co-founders, the Discord server was born. And from that, I found and grew up the best friendships I ever had, simply put. Meanwhile, the worldbuilding around DHA kept being enriched too, with debates, projects and stories, with the pinnacle of it being Altinova, the hypothetic city lived by humans and dragons together.
Then, after 2020, which I consider to be the peak year, things slowly started to fall down. The decline of DeviantArt took a heavy toll on DHA: less new people with time, first of all, people moving elsewhere and rediscovering themselves. Until it was my turn, last year. I accepted to be a furry, and most of all I finally admitted to myself and to the world that yes, I'm a voraphile. Of course I've kept changing from 2017 all the time, but never was a change so radical. I have now written several stories where humans get treated as food to consume by dragons and nothing else. You can imagine that DHA's concept had begun feeling tight. And I'll tell you more: to this day, I no longer find the idea of Altinova that interesting. First because I found other stories that exposed the same idea, and most of all, because I realized that it wasn't really co-existence, but forcing dragons to adapt human customs, first of all a city. Vore is making me explore the opposite, finally.
There's another aspect that is included in this. When DHA was created, we collectively banned anything NSFW or fetish. I was hiding in the closet, didn't want others to think bad of me. The idea they would was repeatedly confirmed through the years, with several message explicitly talking negatively about it in the server. I managed to let it go until I stopped playing the part of the wholesome dragon lover; since last year, anytime I checked DHA I had inside a feeling of "I must be careful", "Do they know?" and so on.
In short: it no longer felt like a place where to express myself like it used to be.
Now, things could have changed, reformed, right? Yes, if it wasn't for the fact I've never been the only one managing the server. In fact, already in 2019 had I given up the server's ownership because I felt not fit to lead it all. There were...troubles in it back then, and my reaction was overly aggressive. Since then, managing DHA has always felt to me like a bureaucratic affair: always fearing that I might be perceived as bossy, or abusing my power, always making sure everyone else agreed with things, and if there were no answers, let it fall and forget about it.
So, not only it no longer felt mine, but I also felt stuck. Which lead to increasing frustration inside me, which a pair of times showed off by actively being aggressive again when having some trouble with people - until last week. I think the definitive proof of the fact DHA was no longer my place is that when Goldenhorn was attacked, I wrote about it on my other current favorite server, Fur Racing League, and to some friends in private. But on DHA? Nothing.
These days have felt a bit like a divorce. You know when you abandon something that needed to be left behind, but has been part of your life for so long? The first days, I kept wondering how much they were missing me, and probably they do. A pair times, after finding some funny stuff, I thought about sharing them on DHA, and then remembering I'm no longer there. I did think about getting back. Although if I had done it, I would have asked to return as a normal member. But yesterday, after a talk with my psychologist, I traced my future path better. DHA has made me build friendships so strong, they no longer need DHA to be sustained. They have left the shell, and now run independently. And I had my reasons to leave.
So no, I will not come back to DHA. I'm sorry.
There's a pair things that I want to say though. The first is directed to the remaining DHA members.
I've always envisioned DHA as a collective project. Unfortunately though, it has always been a group that has been associated first and foremost to me. Pretty natural since I had always led its artistic direction and was the main force behind it, and the inviting links have always appeared on my profile: but it is not what I hoped. So I want you to realize you can continue DHA, even without me. Take the things I have created through the years, use them as a basis, and keep developing them. You are free to use anything. Public domain.
Be propositive. Be active. Speak when things are not ok. Don't do my error.
Second, is my new direction.
I was unsure whether it was a good idea, or it was just a way to fill up the void DHA left, but in the end I told myself there's no harm in trying. So today I have finally started to design it, and soon it will open. A new Discord server, this time strictly tied to me, Random. The main difference is that unlike in DHA, speaking about your sexuality will be encouraged, and there will be a proper NSFW section. And also other differences that only those who have been part of DHA will recognize. However, at least for the first period, it will be invite-only - there are people that I'd rather not see get in. If you wanna join, you can write me privately though, and once there, you can invite other friends if you want.
(Friends from The Bellyverse, don't worry. Modnar's feeding grounds will remain as my specific vore-themed server where to rp.)
So, this is what I had to say. I hope you can understand my decision, and trust me on one thing: I am not ending my friendship with any of you. It's just that things, sooner or later, have to end. I've always known inside me that one day it would happen.
And most of all, with all my heart, thank you for these eight years spent together.

Post-Goldenhorn stream of consciousness
General | Posted 3 weeks agoOne year of being an active member of the furry community, and I basically speedrunned the entire furry experience. Had commissions done. Got into drawing. Made friends. Cuddled friends. Attended cons. Was targeted by hate groups.
So, you may already have read about what happened in Ankaran (Slovenia) on the night between 15th and 16th November, maybe you were even there with me. For all others: I was attending Goldenhorn, one of the Slovenian cons, when a group of at least twenty young people, all masked and wearing black, stormed the venue and assaulted two room parties. This wasn’t just some mischief made by some drunk guys: already the previous night the con’s staff had alerted us all of dangerous guys around, harassing people and stealing stuff. It was a planned attack, against us furries.
Now, I was not in any of the assaulted rooms when it happened – I was inside my own (and
gyigr ‘s), procrastinating on my phone before going to sleep. If you want a more direct testimony, here is someone who was in one of the rooms they tried to breach in. I won’t speak on behalf of the attacked people, it would be dishonest, so I’ll just say my own point of view.
First news of the intruders were announced on Telegram around midnight by the staff, they announced they had taken control of the situation. Eventually though, a third message came from them, saying things got much more serious and telling everyone to retreat in their rooms. I checked the general message channel, and read the reports of party rooms being attacked, tear gas launched, people punched, and ambulances being called. Luckily my room was very far away, and I had time to take out the doorsign I had attached to the door. And thank goodness, because a little after, the automatic lights outside turned on, and I heard a male voice shouting something in Slovenian. I can’t say what, since I don’t speak that language. No attempt at kicking our door. Probably he had seen the doorsign our neighbors had left. Nothing else happened for the rest of the night. However, I had to wake Gyigr up from his sleep to inform him, and managed to sleep only around two hours. Had to drive for seven the day after, to get back home. I’ll let you imagine what physical state I was in, once returned.
So this was my point of view, in short. Now, first of all, I want to clarify something, especially for those who may think cons are not safe from these terrorists. Guess it must be what it feels like when your house get robbed: all of a sudden it no longer feels the safe place where to be yourself. But I can tell you that all us participants agree on one thing: the venue’s security was abysmal. It was not a classic hotel palace, but a family resort with rooms all scattered around. The entrance was easy to pass through, just a pedestrian access with no cameras, the seashore the resort is in was basically public access, many roads had no light and even if there were some fences, they had huge holes on them. My goddamn apartment is more well protected. Luckily, most conventions are held at more conventional hotels with few, guarded entrances and rooms that take an elevator to access, an elevator that will move only if you have your card.
What I really wanted to talk about is my feelings, though.
Honestly, it’s a lot to process. I’ll certainly keep thinking about it for days to come, also because I do know some of the victims in the attacked rooms, having hanged out with them here in Milan. I was left harmless only because I didn’t feel like attending any room parties. If I had remained around the active places a bit more, they may have found me. And inside their mind, there wouldn’t have been a complex individual with his own personality, life history, achievements. There would have been only a furry, therefore a degenerate, therefore a target. An enemy NPC to take out so they’d increase their score. No matter what and how much I could have said. When I got back home, I looked at myself in the mirror and thought of my life history before I got into dragons, of those things I am passionate about but don’t really fit my identity as Random/Modnar, my family, my hometown. In that moment, I needed to feel that I am so many things at once.
Including being a furry. That one detail that for them was everything I am.
If there was a moment I fully realized to belong to a category of disliked people, it was this one. Even if I already had the interior knowledge. Before fully turning to be one, I could still feel like talking about my interest in dragons and my writings to normal people – now, I no longer do it. At best, I remain vague, if I really have to say something, like for example explaining my parents where I’m going. I know they will never understand it. It was already difficult for them to accept my homosexuality (they do now), I was already criticized heavily for being attracted to older people, now imagine the conversation I’d have if I had to explain that yes, I fap to anthropomorphized animals and I get horny at the idea of being eaten alive. Since I’ve been part of the community I’ve been much more open to myself, but also shielded myself away from most people much more. And now I’ve also been part of a group that has been targeted by violent people in a planned attack. They call us cringe, perverts, dogfuckers. They think we’re only about sex and nothing else – I have proof of it, when I told a friend of mine I’m a furry, he said “Ah, the porn with animals?”. Yet I’m certain their minds aren’t less horny. Just think of how traditional media is filled with sexy women whose sole scope is looking good and sexy – sometimes I wonder what it must feel like to have a classic, acceptable sexuality, and having enjoyable content everywhere. But also I know they aren’t proof against kinks. Things like foot fetish, pissing and so on are kinks known even by those who aren’t a furry. Then what is that scares them off? I don’t think it’s the sexuality. It’s the fact we’re honest about it. The fact we’re honest in general. It seems to me that honesty scares most humans. We get taught that honesty is a virtue, but in practice pretty much the opposite happens. You must always assume a straight face and smile and claim acceptable opinions because otherwise others may whisper things about you. We are constantly surrounded by an industry based entirely on deception, also known as advertising. I won’t even start talking about politics, I’m not that bold. And then they see us. They see people who don’t adhere to what is morally accepted, even if breaking that stuff is in fact harmless. People who don’t care about looking masculine, looking adult, who are artists and not content creators, and they cannot elaborate so much honesty. Their eyes fall on the sexual parts of the community because sex always catches the most attention – it’s the primal force that moves us all even if they don’t want to admit it, and because they don’t want to admit it, they reduce us to that, in bad terms.
And yet. Then I realize that even if I wasn’t a furry, even if I was a straight guy, I would still be a category of people to eliminate for someone else out in the world. During the attack, I thought of an interesting coincidence: it was exactly ten years since that night in Paris when hundreds of people died in a terrorist attack. A much bigger incident of course, our attackers after all was a bunch of hooligans or something. Still, what category of people did the victims belong to? Something related to what land their passports stated they belonged to. No matter what, everyone in this world is always someone else’s furry. The fact is, that our brains always put people in simple categories, as a way to save energy and instantly flee from danger in case we recognize a bad category. But think of how easily exploitable this instinct is. Think of the fact that since our birth we are all taught that we belong to a precise category – nationality. Religion is frequent too. Of course after that there’s all sorts of categories: skin color, what sports team you support, what music you listen to… Usually what happens is that if your category does something questionable or violent, then it’s justified, we gotta investigate further, but if it’s them… it’s never about actual morality, it’s about what category you, or they, belong to.
So no reason to flee from being a furry because someone out there thinks I’m cringe and should die. Others out there think I should die for different reasons anyway. And I mean, who am I to claim I’m different? Am I not subject to this same awful instinct too? You should see me when I speak of those who support ideologies I am against, or corporations, which are still made primarily of living people. So let’s just face it: we all suck.
However though, I keep having this feeling that furries in general suck a bit less. (That totally changes during room parties.) Fact is, this community stands for everything I am in favor of. Honesty. Compassion. Friendship. Sexual openness. All things every authoritarian entity oppresses with all their might to satisfy a thirst of power that can never be satiated, something so irrational that yet often wears a rational mask. And also there’s our fight against that colossal marketing scam called AI, which we have seen through on behalf of having nothing but art to breathe life into our identities.
What I would say to the attackers if I had them in front of me now? Implying of course it’s a safe situation. Well, I don’t know. Maybe, first of all, why. And then I’d ask them to talk a bit about themselves. Because unlike them, if anything, I want to discover what kind of person there is behind that category I’m seeing. And then to find a hobby – once they paid their dues to justice I mean, as I’m writing two were already arrested. If they have so much energy to be destructive, they must have also energy to create. After all, energy cannot be created or destroyed, as thermodynamics taught us.
This was a journal I wrote out of my gut, so some opinions may be not well shaped, or even questionable. But it was the kind of journal I felt like writing. Crude, direct and emotional. It would have taken too long to write a rational one.
Final note: no one died or had serious injuries. One guy was brought to the hospital, but we’ve all come back our homes safely. No more incidents happened. We’re all traumatised of course, but even despite the commotion, I can tell you that the day after, during the closing ceremony, there were big cheers and smiles and we were still all happy to be there together. None of us regrets joining Goldenhorn and we’re all incredibly thankful to the staff who managed to limit the damage we could have had. They supported us much more than any police force could ever do. Here is the magic of the furry community. We all have different likes, kinks, and each of us sure dislikes some kinks other furries have, and yet we are so united. For sure in the coming years I will learn to face more openly the flaws of the community, but even then, I will remind myself of that closing ceremony.
So, you may already have read about what happened in Ankaran (Slovenia) on the night between 15th and 16th November, maybe you were even there with me.

During the attack, I thought of an interesting coincidence: it was exactly ten years since that night in Paris when hundreds of people died in a terrorist attack. A much bigger incident of course, our attackers after all was a bunch of hooligans or something. Still, what category of people did the victims belong to? Something related to what land their passports stated they belonged to. No matter what, everyone in this world is always someone else’s furry. The fact is, that our brains always put people in simple categories, as a way to save energy and instantly flee from danger in case we recognize a bad category. But think of how easily exploitable this instinct is. Think of the fact that since our birth we are all taught that we belong to a precise category – nationality. Religion is frequent too. Of course after that there’s all sorts of categories: skin color, what sports team you support, what music you listen to… Usually what happens is that if your category does something questionable or violent, then it’s justified, we gotta investigate further, but if it’s them… it’s never about actual morality, it’s about what category you, or they, belong to.
So no reason to flee from being a furry because someone out there thinks I’m cringe and should die. Others out there think I should die for different reasons anyway. And I mean, who am I to claim I’m different? Am I not subject to this same awful instinct too? You should see me when I speak of those who support ideologies I am against, or corporations, which are still made primarily of living people. So let’s just face it: we all suck.
However though, I keep having this feeling that furries in general suck a bit less. (That totally changes during room parties.) Fact is, this community stands for everything I am in favor of. Honesty. Compassion. Friendship. Sexual openness. All things every authoritarian entity oppresses with all their might to satisfy a thirst of power that can never be satiated, something so irrational that yet often wears a rational mask. And also there’s our fight against that colossal marketing scam called AI, which we have seen through on behalf of having nothing but art to breathe life into our identities.
What I would say to the attackers if I had them in front of me now? Implying of course it’s a safe situation. Well, I don’t know. Maybe, first of all, why. And then I’d ask them to talk a bit about themselves. Because unlike them, if anything, I want to discover what kind of person there is behind that category I’m seeing. And then to find a hobby – once they paid their dues to justice I mean, as I’m writing two were already arrested. If they have so much energy to be destructive, they must have also energy to create. After all, energy cannot be created or destroyed, as thermodynamics taught us.
This was a journal I wrote out of my gut, so some opinions may be not well shaped, or even questionable. But it was the kind of journal I felt like writing. Crude, direct and emotional. It would have taken too long to write a rational one.
Final note: no one died or had serious injuries. One guy was brought to the hospital, but we’ve all come back our homes safely. No more incidents happened. We’re all traumatised of course, but even despite the commotion, I can tell you that the day after, during the closing ceremony, there were big cheers and smiles and we were still all happy to be there together. None of us regrets joining Goldenhorn and we’re all incredibly thankful to the staff who managed to limit the damage we could have had. They supported us much more than any police force could ever do. Here is the magic of the furry community. We all have different likes, kinks, and each of us sure dislikes some kinks other furries have, and yet we are so united. For sure in the coming years I will learn to face more openly the flaws of the community, but even then, I will remind myself of that closing ceremony.

This is of course for any of you who is British or lives in UK.
Pretty much you have only few days left before you can be freely yourselves without using VPNs. This should make your parliament start considering turning back

Anyone on SoFurry beta? I have an account there too now.
General | Posted 5 months agoWe need to talk about these age verification laws.
General | Posted 5 months agoBeing a furry, scaly, otherkin or whatever makes you open an account here isn't a sexual thing by itself, we all know it. But it's a fact that most of use are very comfortable being open about our sexuality and showing it proudly. This alone is enough to make us keep it among ourselves in a global culture where sex is still largely something ostracized. But I always considered sex openness to be the path to oppenness in general, to being more at peace with yourself, all things that scare off most humans, creatures of comfort and fear of unknown.
So it doesn't surprise me that such an open community will never gain the favor of society, given that society itself refuses openness - and therefore, maybe, it was only a matter of time before they'd start cracking down on it.
Yeah, these age verification laws don't target furries in particular. But that doesn't change the subsrance. All over the USA (where most websites we use are based) and Europe (my continent), governments are now starting to demand that we give proof of our real identity if we want to see sexual content on the internet.
As I'm writing, in the UK websites are being obscured or shut down because they cannot economically comply with their new draconian law called Online Safety Act. In the USA, the Supreme Court has judged the states have all the rights to shield citizens from watching sex without compromising privacy. In France, Italy and Spain, media regulators have already ruled similar things. E621's own existence is at legal risk.
In a better world, I wouldn't have as many problems with it - if only society had a mature approach to sex, and not the repressive, juvenile approach inherited by - ahem - certain religions. Who among us dares risk associate our real identity with our furry identify when the latter is so associated with kinks most people don't even k ow about? Maybe someone will, driven by libido, but look at me in the face and tell me that you won't prefer using a VPN.
We all know what these laws are presented to be for - "for the children". These mystic, pure beings that are a shield to any kind of decision that may be questionable. I also assume you guys know that it was never about the children, who are already exposed to all kind of atrocities anyway (dear parents, making me listen to the news every meal was NOT beneficial), and that sexual repression is a pillar of every authoritatian force. I can only hope it's just a political phase, and that it will end up like other times when the internet seemed to be going into shambles. But this time they seem to be more serious.
All this to talk about one thing: the future of our communities. I am afraid for Furaffinity, for E621, for my UK friends, for the artists I like, and for the community in general which will be forced to go even more underground and become much more difficult to find for those who need it.
I could revert back to being solely SFW, yes. But one year after finally being honest with myself? When being open led me to so many new friends and revitalized my art? I will survive, yes, but it'll be a poorer, more repressed Random (let alone Modnar), and so will most of you, no longer able to express what you can't do elsewhere.
Will we make it to 2026?

Referendum for same-sex marriage in Italy: we need your sign
General | Posted 7 months agoCurrently there is an ongoing proposal to organize a referendum in Italy that could potentially give us access to same-sex marriage and adoptions.
https://firmereferendum.giustizia.i.....o-open/3600000
If you happen to have Italian citizenship, please consider signing it too. Pretty much we cannot expect our politicians to do it themselves, especially the current government. We're still the only Western European country without it.
The website is from the official Ministry of Justice, so it does have legal value and if we reach the minimum number of signs the proposal will be evaluated by our constitutional court for the final approval
EDIT: I was partially mislead. The referendum wouldn't introduce marriages, but it would give civil unions (which we have) the same rights of married couples. Still important.
C'è al momento un'iniziativa per approvare un referendum che potrebbe legalizzare in Italia matrimoni e adozioni dello stesso sesso.
https://firmereferendum.giustizia.i.....o-open/3600000
Per favore, considerate di mettere anche la vostra firma. Ē ormai palese che non possiamo aspettarci che ci pensi la nostra classe dirigente, specialmente il governo attuale.
Il sito è quello del ministero della giustizia, quindi se passasse il quorum, il referendum verrà valutato dalla corte costituzionale per la sua approvazione finale.
EDIT: Mi sono parzialmente sbagliato. Non verrebbe introdotto il matrimonio per coppie dello stesso sesso, ma verrebbero dati gli stessi diritti delle persone sposate a quelle in unione civile. Comunque importante.

Humor, according to me
General | Posted 7 months agoI love laughing. And I love making people laugh. I guess that’s true for everyone, but few things give me the same satisfaction of making others laugh (intentionally, that is). Making others have fun, getting liked for that. I luckily know a lot of stuff that makes me able to often find a good reference that builds up to a clever joke – but there’s more to that, and most of a good joke is not much given by the joke itself, but by the way it’s told. My mother has always said that I have a typically British humor, and for long I couldn’t understand what she meant by that – then I figured out: it’s because I have this capacity of telling absurd jokes while keeping my state of mind absolutely serious. That’s pretty much where I shine (thanks, autism) and it let me reflect more about why something makes us laugh.
So, what is funny on first place? Pretty much all funny things are things that are not ordinary – word plays, weird scenes and clever jokes, they’re all things that subvert our expectations. In fact, rarely does a joke make us laugh twice, because at that point it no longer surprises us. And why this? Well, we are creatures that are deeply guided by an universal fear of the unknown – what we cannot describe, what we have never faced. It’s too much of an effort for our brain to try think about the unknown, and most of all we never know if said unknown is an actual threat that could lead us to the unknownest of all unknowns – that is, death. So, to take care of that, sometimes we feel fear, so that we stay out. Sometimes we get pumped with adrenaline or decide to study it to understand it rationally, if somehow we can face it and need to act. But sometimes, we just laugh, if that unknown can be tamed by making it ridiculous. So this is what humor is: a way our brain has to face a mild kind of unknown.
And here is the key. Who gets told a joke must not predict what is about to come, or they have no longer an unknown to fight. Not only the joke itself, but also the fact that they’re being told a joke. A funny situation may not be that funny if it’s been built on purpose, but make you laugh as hell if it comes in a supposedly regular situation. And that’s why saying jokes seriously is so efficient. If the tone is already humorous, you prepare your listener to the fact a joke is incoming, diminishing its unexpected-situation power.
There are other rules though, which all come from what said about humor being about the unknown. An important one is keeping things as minimalist as possible – that is, if a detail can be shown without saying it explicitly, omit it. A good amount of jokes in fact are based on this: an example would be “What is the difference between a battery and [something to denigrate]? The battery at least has one positive side.” If the joke continued by saying “But [something to denigrate] has none”, the unknown would be revealed, and the joke destroyed. (I’m sure there are other rules, but I can’t think of any of them right now. If I do, I’ll just expand this journal.)
For all this, in my opinion writing comedy is much harder than writing tragedy. We all agree on what is tragic, right? Death, death, and more death. Well, also war, depression, violence and so on, but they can all by summed up by death anyway. But humor? It depends extremely on everyone’s experience, on the set of what they know already, and on their sensitiveness, so that we all laugh for different things. Worse, jokes work only once, because the second time they have entered the realm of what is known – you may still laugh a bit, but never like the first time. So you have only one chance to make your audience laugh.
Well, usually I would end up with a conclusive line, but right now I have none. Have a good life everyone.

10 years of dragons (small revelation in the end)
General | Posted 8 months agoAnd therefore 10 years of daydreaming, writing, pictures, books, mythology research, and most of all, friends. If I was still on DeviantArt, I would have likely waited for 2026/05/15 to celebrate 10 years on that website instead, given how much of my soul I have put there until last October, but let’s not talk about that website any longer unless necessary, alright?
Technically speaking, it was in 2014 that I first discovered Dragonheart and that lead me to first watching How To Train Your Dragon for the first time and then reading Eragon – but it was in the early days of April 2015 that I started my very first (forever unpublished) dragon story, so I make my dragon journey start from that month.
And what a journey so far, right? It only took me one more year to discover the Finnish word for dragon is “Lohikäärme” which literally means salmon-snake – all thanks to five months of being an exchange student in Finland, merging it with “Carmen”, the latin word for “Poem” and therefore creating the word “Lohikarmen” and deciding to use it for a book about a land where dragons and humans are bonded together. So much different from the kind of stuff I’m doing today, to show how far the journey has taken me.
Indeed, I passed from showing that dragons should be befriended, to analyzing dragons’ complex psychology in relationship to humans, to finding my soul is divided into two dragons, Random and Modnar, and finally recognizing dragons’ true predator nature. Basically, I first loved dragons for what I wanted them to be, now I love them for what I feel they actually are.
But this journey would have likely stopped after some months without the friends I made along the way and that I keep doing. Even though I didn’t create it alone, Dragon-Human Association is the most wonderful thing I ever made – a community that gave me my best friends ever. Now it’s no longer my only community – new, fresher ones have come alongside it, mainly the Bellyverse and
Dragonfire7 ‘s Formula 1 league, plus the Italian furry community I entered in contact with just last year (and I wish I had done it many years before, I really regret not accepting being part of the furry community earlier). Especially in 2020, DHA was the thing that kept me the most afloat, and I’ll never forget it.
Now many of those friends are no longer into dragons the way they were in the early parts of my journey, but our relationship hasn’t gone off one single part. We no longer need dragons, but it was still them I’m friends with them. And dragons keep making me meet amazing people from all over the world. Their wings keep me bringing me into the most incredible places. Which nowadays happens to be their stomachs half of the times, but it’s not a problem, I love being part of them.
Well, now there’s a small revelation I want to do. The reason that made me decide, back in 2016, to post my writings on DeviantArt and not some website more specialized in writing, was because I already knew how many people interested in dragons were there. And you know how I knew it? Because of all the dragon vore stories published on DeviantArt I kept finding while secretly looking for vore content. So in a way, I could start depicting dragons befriending humans thanks to dragons eating humans. Their pred nature was always there, just deeply hidden. (This is basically Modnar in a nutshell…)
Well, it looks like my journey will continue for a while. Let’s see where else new I end up.

2024 end-of-year reflections
General | Posted 11 months agoThis year has been the equivalent of a revolution for me.
After eight years, I finally recognized that I couldn't keep doing the same stuff forever; or at least, I recognized that it was finallly time to, after a drenage of ideas that I solved once I started drawing and revealed the kinks I was so afraid to admit. All this though wouldn't have happened without finding my definitive scalesona. Whom was readily accompained by a second one, and their identies are equal and opposite sides of me, and this is something I'm proud of: Random and Modnar are not just made to be liked by me, in face they both are me. That's my idea of sonas: characters that represent your real self. I hope this new cycle can give me as many friends and ideas as the previous one did.
All this made me manage to finally leave DeviantArt, the website that had nurtured me for long, but whom I became disaffected. Still, reading that final letter I published there always gives me goosebumps. It's been like leaving your parents' home forever: the relief and the melancholy happening at the same time.
Even outside the internet I walked down a harsh mental road that forced me to face what I really am and where I want to be in the future. It finally made me recognize that my life is where I am now. For years I've wanted to be abroad, and part of me still does, but at 31 I want to be able to plan my things without thinking "Eh, what if one day I manage to leave...?" It's been really freeing. As much as I'd rather be from other places, I can still extract the best in life from Milan, my hometown. In short, I've become more adult, and feel more at peace. At least now.
Before the final greetings, let me tell you a bit about the cons I'll be attending in 2025. I already booked everything for Awoostria (Vienna, July 24-27) and will surely attend Furizon (Milan, June 3-7). I'm thinking about FurryWeekend (Netherlands, April) and Goldenhorn (Slovenia, November), but it's just ideas.
So I guess that 2025 will just be the natural continuation of the revolution that happened in 2024. No more just a dragon writer, but being a furry in general. I have a great esteem of this community, they represent everything I stand for.
See ya!

What I learned from my first year following F1
General | Posted a year ago...by both watching the real life races and driving in Dragonfire7 's Fur Racing League.
- It IS tiring, doesn't matter that you stay on a seat all time.
- Drivers' fathers have an uttermost importance. Whether they be former drivers themselves, teams' owners or just little karens that yell that their son deserves respect.
- It's not just about being fast, it's about having a calm and focused mind. Otherwise you'll get lotta poles but barely any win.
- For the love of god, wait until the adrenaline in your body has been disposed of before talking about the race with your other contestants.
- The Pythagorean theorem DOES NOT apply.
- Yes there are rules, but it is recommended to test how much you can violate them until you get caught.
- Swear words are much more unacceptable than glass debris on the fucking track.
- Playing F1 games is not like Need for Speed at all.
- The most entertaining part of a race is the team radio messages.
- It's a combination of driver and car, until rain falls. At that point, it's just the driver.
- There being only 20 protagonists per time, and not thousands like in football, it's easy to create some simply lovely ships. Takes two figures of Verstappen and Russell and says "NOW KISS"
- Everyone secretly wishes they could take Monaco out of the calendar.
- It is a sport by millionaires for millionaires, but unlike top-tier football it doesn't shy away from it.
- Usually the first third of a race is the most exciting part. The second is the most boring. The final one usually varies.
- YOU GOTTA LEAVE SPACE TO THE OTHERS IF YOU'RE NOT HOTLAPPING DAMN, YOU'LL CAUSE INCIDENTS IF YOU DON'T. (Easy to understand, but trying to apply it gave me some existential crisis)
- Friendships do get destroyed when the pair ends up as team mates.
- Ferrari will always win next year, every year.
WHAT I STILL NEED TO LEARN:
- How the F1 cars work in general.

I should find a way to call Random and Modnar together
General | Posted a year agoMaybe the Vanglobros?
Random and Modnar's Discord servers
General | Posted a year ago[center]
"Hi, I'm Random."
"And I'm Modnar."
"We'd like to tell you guys you can reach us on Discord!"
"On two separate places, although Random attends mine too."
"Mine is Random's Free State. It's a new server where to be with friends and talk about things. There is a NSFW section but it's not necessary to attend it. If you're interested, write me a private message and I'll send you a link. "
"Mine is The Bellyverse. In my temple, the food chain is strictly enforced and humans are nothing else but food. All willing meals are welcome to join me, together with fellow preds that want to help me in putting back prey in their place. My place is NSFW and its main theme is vore RP. Enter it through the following link: https://discord.gg/cj4MMhWDS3"
"So, whatever you feel like, see you on my free state!"
"Or in my belly." Giggles

I'm abandoning DeviantArt.
General | Posted a year agoI wrote a journal about it there. https://www.deviantart.com/randomva.....art/1114318329
Made a BlueSky account
General | Posted a year agoI'll be posting NSFW too from now on.
General | Posted a year agoThere's a bit of big revelations I'm ready to tell you.
During this almost nine years devoting myself to dragons, I had a lot of internal conflicts. I hesitated identifying myself with being a furry (or scaly) despite writing about dragons, making poster about dragons, creating a community about dragons, befriending people with dragonsonas, using websites like DeviantArt, SoFurry and FurAffinity. That is solved now, but it has solved only some months ago.
But I had an even worse conflict in me. Growing up in 2000s Italy, where at middle school "gay" was the most common insult, caused me to be very shy about the kinky side of me. So for all this time I forced on myself a clean image that with time has gotten tighter and tighter, until now it was literally choking my mind - especially now that any possible variation on the "dragon-human relationships" topic feels to me like being drained off. Indeed, a big reason of why I've been drawing much more than writing is that I wasn't getting no longer ideas for writings or posters about my usual topics..
Still, with some close friends of mine, some years ago - starting from 2020 - I began being open with some intimate friends on Discord, and that deepened my bond with them. And yet I was still so hesitant about opening myself to lewdness in my public profiles. I was too scared of what could happen to my profile - and even to my relation with some friends of mine that sometimes seemed to have shown contempt for it.
Well... it's turning out that I had no reason to be so. More and more fellow friends whom I deemed unsuspecting turned out to be deep in kinks too, I found communities, made friends out of them, at the point that with the help of my acceptance of being a furry, by now the mask has fully fallen off.
So yes. I'll no longer hide myself. You can already see I started to fav pics of big bellies. You could expect even more bellies from myself now. Petting them, caressing them... and most of all being inside of them. Yup. To be fair, through the years I left some various hints at my real likings by putting references in stories or making parodies. Now you have the confirmation. I'm a goddamn sucker for big bellies.
My DeviantArt profile will remain SFW though, since that remains my general-audience profile. FA has a much more intimate feeling where I am more comfortable about being fully myself.
I don't know if someone will be shocked by this, but if there are some, don't worry, I'm still your usual friendly Random dragon writer and I remind you there are filters you can apply in the website.
In the meanwhile, a huge thank you to all the friends that already knew me in deep, your encouragement and friendliness freed me.

Ask me about dragons!

The pretentious tourist
General | Posted a year agoThe majority of tourists travel for ostentation, and it is not certainly something that is invisible in this social media era. That doesn’t mean they aren’t genuinely interested in the location they’re in – it still happens once in a while – but nothing screams “I have an interesting life” than showing pics of yourself in a town surrounded by other people taking a selfie just like you. However, for some tourists the ostentation isn’t about traveling in that certain place, but the more general concept of traveling: for them, it’s not just about saying “I have an interesting life”, but also, and most of all, “I am an open minded person”.
This one is the pretentious tourist, a person who doesn’t go on vacation, no: they go on a journey. In fact, they’re not even a tourist, but a traveler, like they want to tell everyone else. Any word commonly associated to tourism is offensive to them, despite fully taking part in it.
What is the pretentious tourist like? In general it’s a young guy (up to the millennials’ generation), with a passport from a Western country, a medium to high education and a financially solid family that can support them in their vacat- ok, ok, journeys.Having their age’s natural tendency to exploration, and the means to do it, they satisfy as much as they can and take pride in it. But being well educated also means that they know a little more than the average person, and the person that knows a little more happens to show off their knowledge much more than actual experts, who know too well how little their knowledge is compared to the whole subject. The subject, in this case, being the place the pretentious writer travels to, and the expert being any actual local resident.
But where exactly does the pretentious tourist travel? The necessity of being different from the mass starts from home, when they desperately look for a place where mass tourism still hasn’t arrived. However, once they have excluded all the zones in the world that aren’t calm enough to let them backpack in a hostel, the countries remaining are all European, or Western-style countries, at best South-East Asia. No problem, though: the pretentious tourist will still search on the internet for potential hidden gems that haven’t still been discovered by classic tourists. All right, yes?
After arriving in the country, and hopefully when they did they have avoided taking local cash in the airport’s ATMs, it’s time to get to the place they’ll stay in. Which is never a hotel: that is for tourists, and they are a traveler. Still, they will sleep in a place that is made for people like them, that is, tourists that don’t want to be tourists. The most classic option is a hostel, where to meet other fellow pretentious tourists, the most modern one is an Airbnb, where to have the illusion to stay at a local’s house, and not the property of some foreign investor who has never been in that same place. But let’s be fair, some manage to learn to use Couchsurfing and convince another pretentious tourist who’s currently home to host them.
Once settled down, comes the fun part: discovering the local culture! Not the monuments, not the sightseeings, but the culture. Because the pretentious tourist is convinced you can get a full understanding of a foreign country by spending a handful of days in it, and doing activities every local does there every day, like walking around towns without a single job. And so they wander around, in search of an authentic local experience that will make them get a real taste of the country, or at least make them believe so: the most egregious examples being restaurants, their writings like “Traditional local food” in English and their microwaved food presented as a delicacy – but after all, when it’s the first time you eat it, you don’t have the means to realize it.
In all this, they nevertheless have visited all the sightseeings all other tourists go to, because they are must sees, it would be stupid not to go there. The pretentious tourist stays there, admiring that so famous landmark with joy and at the same time feeling a tingling irritation in their mind at the sight of the regular tourists around them, all taking selfies, wearing backpacks in front of their bodies, traveling in organized groups with a guide... But it’s ok, if they weren’t present, the pretentious tourist wouldn’t have the opportunity to think about how they’re not one of them, that they are a traveler. Oh, and those hidden gems mentioned before? They appeared in lists published in websites that have optimized their content to appear first in search engines, so when the pretentious tourist goes there, instead of finding the solitude they hoped for, they’ll meet other pretentious tourists who read the same website. Luckily, the selective cancellation of memory will activate, and the pretentious tourist will still believe to know the place better than everyone else.
Finally, it’s the end of the memorable journey. It’s been days passed at watching touristy landmass, eating at restaurants made for tourists and sleeping at places made for tourists, but the pretentious tourist doesn’t realize all that. They have learned a lot about this beautiful country and the wonderful people coming from there, knowledge generously given by the museums they went to and the landmark signs they read. Why can’t their own country be more like this one? Don’t they see how people here are happier, more relaxed, more sympathetic? Only a very tiny minority of pretentious tourists actually did the big step and slowly started to realize how many cultural elements of their country had always taken for granted, and now that those are no longer there, it’s emptiness for them every day. Meanwhile, they’ll still proudly share on their favorite social media posts saying something like “Never stop exploring” with some footprints going through a beach, and fiercely say they never visited any souvenir shops during their journey, apart from that one time because their mother asked them to bring something nice.

Linux distros in few words
General | Posted a year agoUBUNTU
The distro that invented user-friendly Linux, now the most hated in the nation.
LINUX MINT
What Ubuntu should have become.
ZORIN
If I had to convince someone that Linux distros are modern too, I'd show them Zorin first.
POP!_OS
I can't wait to finally try their Cosmic DE, but since they've developed they've been in a limbo, and this project can only mark their rebirth or their death.
FEDORA
The perfect mix between stable and updated, no wonder it has powered my laptop for almost four years now. If only it wasn't based in the USA and was forbidden to release out of the box so many patented, but essential, packages...
ULTRAMARINE LINUX/NOBARA
Luckily, you can easily just fork it to make a version of Fedora that is based in countries where such patents don't apply and make it even more user-friendly.
ARCH
It's more a meme than a distro.
STEAMOS
Yet if Valve chose Arch as a basis for its own portable console, it has undoubtedly something good.
GARUDA
If I had to convince a GaMeRz that Linux distros are CoOl too, I'd show them Garuda first.
MANJARO
It was so popular four years ago, what happened?
ELEMENTARYOS
How they achieved the closeness of Apple despite being FOSS is a mystery.
DEEPIN
Like a pug: its only purpose is looking cute, while inside it's a mess.
SOLUS
They were a rising star in 2018, now barely anyone has ever heard of them. Making a completely independent distro is not easy nowadays.
VOID
When Arch is no more enough to be an elitist.
GENTOO
When Arch is no more enough to be an elitist, and you have even more time to waste in compiling the whole kernel.
DEBIAN
Your nice grandpa you can always count on.
SLACKWARE
Your distant grandpa you have barely ever met because your parents migrated.
ENDEAVOUROS
When you like the idea of Arch, but also want to get shit done quickly.
VANILLA
No, immutable distros don't really make sense for a desktop usage, sooner or later you'll WANT to modify something about how your system behaves.
MX LINUX
Why is it always on top of the Distrowatch.com chart?
KALI
No, you're not Hackerman, you're just some kid who needs an identity for themselves.

My favorite dragon artwork of the last six months
General | Posted a year agoEvery 15th May and 15th November (ergh, it's 46 minutes past the beginning of 16th May while I'm writing but never mind) I have the tradition of sharing the dragon artwork that I liked the most in the latest six months. Why such date? Because on 2016/05/15 I first opened my DeviantArt account and began my dragon journey, and have started this tradition of mine six months later and is still ongoing - now also on Furaffinity. So here you go, a list of dragon stuff from FA, DeviantArt and Mastodon.
https://www.furaffinity.net/user/moymoy13/
moymoy13
Of all stuff I found so far in Furaffinity, Moymor13 and his huge, fatherly dragon Gordon is the thing I fell in love the most, mostly because it has a lot of things I personally love and feels close to certain experiences of mine. There are some hints at mature themes, but it never gets into porn, in fact it remains wholesome at every single submission. I even dedicated my very first piece I drew with my new drawing tablet: https://www.furaffinity.net/view/56516442/
https://www.furaffinity.net/user/walnut45/
walnut45
Not one single artwork, but an entire profile. NomexGlove, with his pictures of what NOT to do when approaching dragons (and vice-versa) has made more dragon-human worldbuilding than me in years.
https://www.furaffinity.net/gallery/rodannax/folder/1388700/Dragonstar
rodannax
Big and adorable golden dragon who acts like a pet, something I may not approve for my stories, but works great for entertainment.

Reyk the water shapeshifter dragon by
ReyDeleyk
One of the most original dragonsona concepts I've ever seen!

Fursuit - Righin by
LadyNightLight
This makes me want to get a fursuit SO BAD. Luckily, I know that with the money needed I could travel to Australia again.

Why? Well, why not?

So you want to be a dragon? by
Darasmera
Has several topics that I covered many times, but they're never obvious and I always appreciate when I find them in others' writings too.
https://www.smbc-comics.com/comic/dragons
The truth has been spoken. Not only laughable, but an important revelation for many writers about how to give a personality to dragons that doesn't revolve about the fact they are dragons.
https://dragonchat.org/@Rhaeloth@mastodon.art/112282543443848201
I'm still waiting for the moment I can use this as a reaction in some chat.
https://dragonchat.org/@betsystreeter@mastodon.art/111427049134780460
Maybe I should write a story about something like this.
https://www.deviantart.com/chainbreakerink/art/Pages-1-and-2-Revisited-1034741261
I put only the first page here, but this dude is writing an entire dragon origin story complete with drawings that are great to watch.
https://www.deviantart.com/dniprodragon/art/This-is-fine-meme-dragon-edition-1032518997
I mean, it's the This is fine meme but with a dragon, what else is to ask?
https://www.deviantart.com/mensjedezeemeermin/art/Dragon-s-Lullaby-774266164
I think the last time I saw here a dragon poem, teutorix-maxen (old DA user) was still active. I miss that guy, he was the one who made me write poems on first place...
https://www.deviantart.com/wazaga/art/Comms-The-Mail-Dragon-1021156677
Anything showing scenes of dragons and humans coexisting always gets my attention, even more if it shows HOW dragons could integrate among humans.

Finally real hierarchies have been re-established and the world is in balance.
