Had our first game last night, and we managed to win. Our 'never curled before' friend made a great takeout. 🥌

Someone on the other team described my curling as "mathematical".

The Eater of the World tries to reassure Mermul that it'll be fine in Pax Draconica.
#furry #comics #furryart #dragons

Previous pages are here: paxdraconica.com/paxdrac1.php...

Mermul is still curled up into a ball and sobbing at the injustice of it all

Fiskul: "Hey, hey, hey... don't CRY! There's no need for that!"

Mermul: "ISN'T THERE?! I nearly DIED... And now... I thought I only had to fear death! Now... Now it's the END OF THE WORLD!"

Mermul: "It's the end of the world, and I'll get to see EVERYTHING die, body and soul! EveryONE, everyTHING! FOREVER!"
Fiskul: "Oh, thaaat!"

Fiskul: "Cheer up! You're acting like him about to eat the world while you WATCH!"

Mermul: "B-But it's your DESTINY to devour all things! Your very p-PRESENCE heralds the end of the world! WE'RE DOOMED!"

Fiskul: Well, then, if there's nothing you can do about it, why worry?"

Mermul: "WHY WORRY?! I had ambitions! A life to live! If everything's finished you should have just let me DIE!"

Fiskul looks confused.

Fiskul: "But that, too, would have ruined your ambitions!"

🐈‍⬛ Hallowe sleeps either curled up or flopped, much like a cat. Their Charm Point is hugging their tail or curling it around themselves. They also talk a little in their sleep.

🦎 Azami rolls around like a rotisserie chicken and snores and sleeps like a rock, but she sleeps adorably in her own way.

Is your WoL a cute sleeper? Like, do they sleep "like a baby", or a mess? Do they snore?

Yumi sleeps cutely if shes not having nightmares, but her sister would be the ugly sleeper; drooling, spread out way more than a cat her size should, will probably kick you in her sleep

I was driving yesterday when I nearly ran over a woolly bear caterpillar. I dodged it and stopped my car. I went to help the little guy to cross the street safely, and the poor thing was curled in a ball! I picked it up and put it in the grass in the direction it was headed. 🙌

Husband refuses an ergonomic office chair at home because this one usually has a small sight hound and three cats in a pile around him.

An old mustard yellow chair with an ancient cushion on it . A man's bottom takes up about a quarter of the space, while a rotund Siamese is curled next to him

The way he called her 'buttercup'
The way he tilted his head
They way he moved towards her
The way his lips curled
As he smiled
She knew
He was a #creep

a sketch of a character with hair pulled up into a loose bun. he has a tiger tail and is wearing a qipao. in the background is a large tiger head facing to the left.

a sketch of two characters, both portrayed from the side. one is standing straight, arms by the sides, loosely positioned leathery wings at her back; she has hair pulled up into a high ponytail and is wearing a simple sleeveless dress. the second character is hovering above the first, feather wings spread in flight. she is also wearing a simple dress, has a halo, and seems to be cradling the standing character's head in her hands.

a simple sketch of a character with cat ears, cat tail, and two ponytails, wearing a simple outfit of trousers and dress shirt. he has a tiny crown on his head. there is a large pawprint outline behind him.

a sketch of three characters: one is sitting on the ground, curled into himself, head lowered over his arms; the other two are leaning over him from behind, each touching the sitting character as if to comfort him. the sitting character and one of the two behind him have identical features of long hair, horns, and leather wings, the only difference being the sitting character's arms are covered in cuts. the remaining character has feather wings and a halo.

A weathered maple leaf lies quietly on a bed of sunlit gravel, its crimson stem and burnt-orange veins standing out against the muted earth tones. The leaf’s curled edges and brittle surface tell the story of a season fading, caught between warmth and decay in the low morning light of fall.

Lila Pounder = taboo erotica sorrynotsorry

@lilapounder.bsky.social

Here’s the rest of today’s #tentacle #consentacle #taboo #erotica for #kinktober If you like this, “Tentacle Grandpa” is pretty different, yet also the same! Only at Smashwords. www.smashwords.com/books/view/1...

An erotic vignette by Lila Pounder is still going!
Tentacles slithered up the arms and legs of Craven's jumpsuit, and ripped it right off him. They curled around his limbs and hoisted him up in the air like he was a child's doll. I licked my lips as I watched delicate tendrils curl around the doctor's rapidly stiffening cock and balls, and stiffer ones plunge into his mouth and his ass with no preamble.
"He can breathe, right?" I asked. "Not that I care."
We are not pinching his nose, they said, almost petulant. We will not impede any bio function. Tentacles whipped around my upper arms and coiled around my legs.
"Cool," I said as I was lifted above the ground. "Do you have a name?"
You may call us Beety, they said. B. T. E. Big Tentacle Energy.
"Nice to meet you," I said. "You can call me Deety F."
Down to Fuck.
"You got it!"
We got it.
They got it. They got to it, I mean. Half a dozen tentacles claimed me; I claimed six tentacles. Two squeezed my boobs while a little one wetly teased my clit. I opened my mouth for one, and spread my legs and my lips for another. The last wormed its way through my back door.
You like it hard, don't you Deety?
"Mm-hmm!" I managed to say out loud, but Yeah I do, I said in my mind, and it laughed along with me.
They gave it to me hard. It was fantastic. The tentacle in my pussy was slithering along my G-spot. The one in my butt was stretching my sphincter with each pulse. The one in my mouth was stroking along my tongue, more like a kiss than a mouth-fuck. I was so deliciously full, airtight, a pleasure I'd rarely tasted. I was so keyed up I came almost immediately. I felt the energy drawn from my brain. It left me limp, drained, in a good way.
Need a little break, I told them. Just a little one.
Do you, Deety? They pinched my clit between tentacle coils, and I saw stars. Do you really? Because we are so very hungry.
They pulled away from my mouth so I could take a deep, ragged breath. "Oh, fuck!" I gasped.
They fucked.

An erotic vignette by Lila Pounder is almost done...
Sometime later—four or five mind-melting comes, I was losing track—I heard the familiar voice of Captain Dick Handy raised in anger. "Hey! Put them down!"
I opened my eyes. Dick, Babs, and Mom—all looking rumpled and freshly fucked—were standing on the rim of the valley. Dick was brandishing his space rifle, for about a second before a tentacle whipped it out of his grip and flung it away.
There were tentacles waving in the air around me, dozens of them, all lonely with no orifices to penetrate or erogenous zones to stimulate. Beety was much bigger than I'd realized, most of their bulk must be underground.
Maybe we should be Veebeety, they agreed. Very Big Tentacle Energy.
Veebeety pulled out of my mouth, and I knew what they wanted from me.
"Just go with it!" I hollered. "Babs, you are going to love this."
"Oh, fuck, yes I am," she yelled back.
Leave the skirt, leave the boots! Veebeety said as Babs began to strip. We like the skirt, we like the boots!
Babs shrieked happily as she was lofted up and swiftly introduced to Veebeety's many talents.
Mom put her hands on her hips and glowered at Vedette's eyes. "You can handle my daughters. Can you handle me?"
Oh yes, we can handle you, Dr. Moira Smith. Veebeety waved tentacles in Mom's face, and the tips suddenly flattened and sprouted new protrusions, four and one off to the side. Hands.
They lifted Mom. We will be very handsy, they promised.
"Oh, fuck!" Mom yelped just before her mouth was filled.
Yes. Fuck. Veebeety said, and they did.

An erotic vignette by Lila Pounder concludes
Dick Handy was staring wild-eyed as his girlfriend and her mother got triple-penetrated before his very eyes. We have something special for you Captain Handy, Veebeety said. We know you prefer to fill than to be filled. Come and fill us. Their tentacles lashed around the captain and yanked his pants down. Then they pulled him across the ground to their core, and between those big glowing eyes they manifested a pair of space boobs for Dick to grope, and a space pussy for him to ram his already-hard cock into. He looked plenty happy to avail himself of the opening.
Some unknowable time after that, I really did need a break. I was settled gently on the ground and the tentacles gently withdrew from me. Dad and Tom had joined the party at some point, and were both getting fucked. Babs and Mom were being double-fucked at the moment, not triple, so they were kissing each other as the tentacles wafted them through the air above me.
A cluster of tentacles brought me several fist-sized dark green spheres, and showed me how to break them apart. Eat the rind, not the flesh. It will nourish you.
I ate, gratefully. It was delicious, with a tang like cinnamon.
"We'll need water, too," I said, and Veebeety produced a pink bulbish object and demonstrated how to pierce the top so I could drink the water within.
I looked up at my family, and the doctor getting fucked, and over at the captain, still thrusting into Veebeety's orifice. I was pretty sore, but it was a very horny sight.
"How much do you need to eat, roughly?" I asked.
Three or four hundred orgasms, Veebeety said. Each.
I may have gasped. That was even better than I hoped.
We were so very hungry. They sounded apologetic.
"No," I assured them. "That's awesome. That's just about perfect."

Anathema 🏳️‍🌈🏴‍☠️

@anathemaweatherwax.bsky.social

My poor puppy. All he wants to do is sleep under the covers curled up behind my knees. But I spend half the night in a slow motion alligator death roll and the other half restlessly awake and changing sleep venues. And yet he perseveres - wherever I briefly settle he will burrow in and find his spot
