Oh dear, you've found the secret slime cave lair of Enforcer @ Draggian Universe where they put their awful little thoughts. Get out while you can. Established June 2024 as somewhere to put my angsty thoughts about how Falling In Reverse sucks other than the void and annoying my friends.
Enter at your own risk; this is where I put spur of the moment random nonsense, angst, and opinions to get them out of my brain. When I say slime, I mean slime. And possibly full on possession. There will be no content warnings.
The 50 most recent thoughts are being shown. A curated selection of old thoughts I thought were useful, funny, and/or interesting can be found here.
Clarity note: Timestamps on thoughts might not be accurate. I update from both my desktop and my phone. Desktop Librewolf thinks I'm on UTC, but my phone uses local time.


wait, to what hole is "suck [one's] hole" meant to refer? from my understanding it is not possible to suck on something that is not protruding and the whole point of holes is that they do the exact opposite of that
so like with all due respect suck my hole
"When I became a man I put away childish things, including the fear of childishness and the desire to be very grown up." - C.S. Lewis
glorifying obscurity simply because it is obscure, or older trends simply because they are old, or "maturity" (read: gratuitous graphic sex and violence) simply because it is "mature", is just as algorithmic and just as much missing the point of making your own tastes as the inverse.
any time you are tearing people down for something that does not affect you, or saying "no one is a real adult except me" I.e. "if I don't think you are subculturally valid, I won't treat you like a real person", you are not helping.
this is directed at someone specific on neocities but I won't say who
one of the core tenets of any culture dedicated to self-determination and self-expression despite societal expectations should be to Mind Your Own Damned Business. no one gets to decide what being a "real adult" means or what is valid to someone other than themself. if they aren't hurting anybody, piss off
if you call yourself punk, but get pissy and call people not real adults over enjoying something harmless that doesn't affect you, you are missing the point
there is nothing progressive or punk about being an asshole
expelling goo from one or more orifices
friendly reminder that anything in the genre of "people these days aren't real adults, except me" is both (a) inherently ableist and (b) you being an asshole. it does not make you sound enlightened; it makes you sound like you're only secure in your own maturity by tearing down others, which if anything's infantile it's that
if it wasn't for its overt evil tendencies, it would be rather endearing

little kiss on his little ronnie face
okay, I know French's number system is a common punching bag, but it deserves it. Yes, I suppose that mathematically, calling 91 "four twenties eleven" isn't wrong, BUT
While the most interesting part of that section is the "Max chose his girlfriend over me" part, there's an anecdote in ICE where Ronnie's response to some roommate issues in a pre-EtF frat house was to fuck off to LA for a year to sulk, write NGE4TIC, and wait for Max to come back to him. I thought that was extremely immature at the time, but I get it now. Suppose this is basically the Noveau-Brunswickois version of that. (Now, Ronnie was probably the CAUSE of many of the house issues, and one of the housemates sleeping with his girlfriend almost certainly didn't happen. Said girlfriend or housemate is never mentioned before or since, isn't Whitney, and definitely isn't Mandy, and, well, the most important person in his life is Max.)
now, my dear sweet darling boy claims he skateboarded from Vegas to LA which seems very unlikely. That's at least a 4 hour drive, on highways, through some very inhospitable terrain. Presumably he skateboarded to the nearest bus station or friend he could carpool with.
I understand that you're God's specialest boy, have ADHD, are left handed, and were personally visited by aliens and sold your soul to the devil, so are above all mere mortals, but I don't think you skateboarded 270 miles through Death Valley, sorry.
If you're not actually going to help or listen, I'd rather be hated than pitied. At least if I'm an asshole, I have agency.

got nc from expellibox 2 days in a row, either i'm winning the fuckin lottery (only thing that's going right) or it's a glitch
checked privacyguides / brave forums in regards to setting up adnauseam on brave...encountered (a) non-ironic use of "globalists" and (b) someone describing the US and Canada as "infested" by people from other places
wanna know why I don't engage with the privacy fandom? challenge: stop being racist question mark
apparently there is no native way to add metadata to audio files on linux mint and easy tag's ui fuckin sucks? i mean i was doing music assessment on windows anyway bc my yewchube downloader only works on windows but what the fuck
once draggyslair dies / when i have time and money to fuck around i will replace him with a desktop with 2 hard drives so maybe i can dual boot windows 10 again but that ain't happening until after i move
i haven't done a scene assessment since UUUH the new i prevail and i see stars albums in september bc my phone's usb port broke in october so i can no longer exchange files to it except via the internet
anyway, the Zune's mess of an inconsistently-synced library has been purged with the plan that when the debloating of my phone library is done, I will copy the newly reassessed library to the Zune, or at least whatever subset of it fits in 8 gigabytes. for tonight, however, it is getting loaded with falling in reverse and fir substitutes because holy shit
honestly despite the level of bad vibes involved, fates has been oddly absent and like hello where are you this is what you are FOR
i was hoping that i would wake up from a nap fully transformed and could go do some fates bullshit and feel better. instead i just spent 2 hours semi-conscious and am still me.
least i found a software that works with the zune
Anyway, I think even adjusting for inflation (2018-first half 22 sucked for reasons having little to do with the school year), I can officially call 2025/26 the worst school year of definitely my post-high school life and really, ever. My day to day emotional state is better than it was in, say, spring 2019, but it wasn't as...Murphy's Law-esque. (And it's more frustrated when I'm NOT dysphoric / depressed because I actually care, and also, oh, sorry, I guess all the working on myself I did do isn't enough for you!)
Although i think that Lisa's claims of "you need therapy" and of "aggression" and such is just that I think at this point I can say based on evidence that she doesn't like me. The actual department head folks were a lot more practical and clarified that it's specific social skills I need.
And to be fair, I don't like her either. I don't know her personally, but she's a hypocrite and a bad teacher and refuses to take feedback or accountability. The curriculum might be the school. Its complete irrelevance and your total lack of communication except those dang phones rants is you.
students liked me! I like working with kids! Kids like working with me! I'm good at this, damn it! That should be enough? Why isn't it enough?
I've seen bullshit online that summarizes to "teacher training is pointless; all you need to be a good teacher is to be a good person" and I've seen shit in this program that's similar: the most important part of being an EA is caring about students and treating students like people. Well, obviously not, because I am a good person, damn it.
Well, apparently I failed at practicum.
I have a meeting at 11:30 on teams to "discuss paths forward". I suspect it is going to be exactly as helpful as the previous meetings. Lisa is "worried" about me, and apparently I am incapable of understanding when people are trying to redirect me, and the maximum self-regulation I can do is not good enough. I need to learn self-reflection which apparently I don't have.
Apparently I should go to therapy to learn emotional regulation. I was regulating. But apparently incorrectly and not well enough. I suspect by "therapy" they mean "condition into acting neurotypical, voice acting all your dialogue, and suppressing everything you care about".
I supposedly can still move and repeat elementary practicum...and it will be the same result. Apparently even at maximum masking, it is still "obvious" when I am overwhelmed.
My only marketable skills are teaching and science. But apparently I am incapable of functioning in an educational environment, even with extensive accommodations / modifications for me which Max Aitken didn't tell me they were doing. So they let me delude myself into thinking I was a sufficiently capable human being and doing a good job for 3 weeks when I apparently failed at everything except dress code and showing up on time.
I don't know where to go from here. I thought I had been working on myself, but apparently something is obviously wrong with me and I need therapy, and everyone is "worried" about me.
Had I known that feeling good about myself would be pointless because I am never going to satisfy neurotypical standards, I would have spared everybody the expense and killed myself in 2020.
If I take initiative, I'm aggressive. If I do what I'm told, I don't demonstrate independence and insufficiently participate without prompting.
Apparently the only reason I was in the same classroom was that the school noticed I was incapable of proper functioning on day 2 and decided to be nice and modify the curriculum...and even with a modified placement I still failed.
Maybe I don't have a future on grounds of being me, and being in Canada won't matter. I could get an engineering job...if not for my motor skills. The only place for people like me is in engineering or coding, and I don't have the wiring for either of those.
Turns out that all the affirming therapy and gender transitioning I did to overcome my trauma and be capable of socializing and being seen in public was a waste of time. What I should have been doing was suppressing all signs of discomfort, because apparently me after 5 years of recovery still looks like something is dreadfully wrong with him.
I WAS regulating, and was doing everything about it wrong, apparently, and everybody saw right through me. Apparently I'm only capable of functioning as a human when no one can see me.
post-top surgery, I'm the most satisfied with and confident in myself I've ever been...and apparently that doesn't matter. I don't know where to go from here, because obviously my courses didn't help and neurodivergence / queerness affirming therapy perhaps made me worse.
that was Laura's suggestion at the fucking talk in the office when I stated that education and science are my only marketable skills, is that I could get an engineering job. I am not a mechanical person. None of my motor skills are good and I'm incapable of visualizing things in 3D. I am not a programmer. But apparently I'm incapable of human services, and there are no jobs in bio you can survive on without grad school. So basically I'm fucked.
maybe I can work retail at poverty wages for the rest of my life, because social media is too triggering for me (nor is my art good enough) for art commissions or most anything web-based to be viable
as previously discussed, moving back in with my parents is not an option because there is no path to a future in the US that does not require abandoning everything I am, do, and care about. I have no future in the US while being queer, neurodivergent, alternatively, or vaguely-leftist, and am unwilling to give up any of those. But now I'm not sure if I have a future anywhere else either. Maybe destroying yourself is necessary to succeed. I HAVE been working on myself...and it's not good enough.
I guess people liked God Is A Weapon, maybe. But going down the list -- the collabs he did in 2013-14 before Big Boy Viral Era with scene artists of comparable size generally worked, save the solo album which sucked. Drugs (2019) with Corey from Slipknot, and Alex Terrible and Tech N9ne on Ronald (2024), both had the reaction of "eew, why are you hanging out with...that?" I think Jelly Roll fans liked All My Life, but FIR fans didn't and that song was decanonized after the divorce. All My Women, I don't know about Hardy, but FIR fans universally despise. So I don't know why he keeps doing this when it clearly isn't working, but FIR has also been completely self-destructing since the end of 2023 so has bigger problems.
Anyway, he would never deign to hang out with Craig, whom he perceives as beneath him and also personally hates.
Been a while since there was a New Falling In Reverse Song From A Dream. I don't know what it sounded like or its title. It included Ronnie turning into some sort of Griffin or something (it looked like an even more disproportionate version of him but IIRC had a beak, and both fur and feathers) and was set with everybody doing vocals on top of the ocean, which was realistically rendered except at the edge, where they were standing, where it's like the edge of the map in Minecraft and becomes a rectangular prism that flows straight down into the void. Oh, and it also had Craig in it. With the DR mask, which dream me found very confusing because "why is he here if it isn't EtF / DIYLF?"
Completely implausible. Ronnie apparently based on the 2025 Grammy nomination failure simultaneously thinks he is the most influential and biggest name to ever live who invented everything the scene does (falls apart if you look at any other contemporary with DIYLF post hardcore band) and a new artist. Therefore, he collaborates with people he thinks are bigger than or have different fanbases than him. Which I don't know why anyone involved keeps doing it, because what ends up happening is either the other guy's fanbase doesn't like FIRonnie or Ronnie's fans don't like the other guy, and it benefits no one.
Craig would be down for it, maybe, assuming he isn't specifically avoiding Ronnie. He actually collaborates with people because he likes them, even if it's helping a smaller band which doesn't necessarily do numbers.
Song of the day: Dead Rabbitts - The Edge
"professionalism" being a fundamentally discriminatory concept terrifies me, because I NEED to get a job to maintain residency and therefore have any hope of a future. Living in my parents' house is not an option, so if even the maximum amount of suppression I can do without going insane isn't enough for neurotypical standards, I'm basically fucked.
I have accepted that at this point, electoral politics be damned, I have no path to a future in the US that doesn't require me to deny everything I am, do, and care about. I am not going to be able to get and stay hired at much of anything, let alone sustain myself, while being openly queer, trans, autistic, vaguely-socialist, and/or alternative, and none of those things are something I'm willing to give up. I'd rather die with dignity and as myself than either be murdered by my fuckwad neighbors / fuckwads in armor or destroy myself to no one's benefit for the "reward" of continuing to work a dead-end job in a country that doesn't want me to exist.
So, yeah. I can't live in my parents' house and social media is too much of an emotional trigger for me for me to be able to sustain myself based on art commissions, so I damned well hope I can find a job that's willing to tolerate me at the maximum amount of masking I can do, because any suppression beyond that and I can't do anything else.
I have basically been scripting all my dialogue and very carefully modulating tone / not doing my various automatic stims (e.g. the self-echolalia or hand motions), and staying in a specific volume and pitch range, for the past 3 weeks, so if that isn't enough for neurotypical standards or for me to be "professional" enough to have a job...
what if I made both vertical and horizontal versions of the new mascot / pagedoll for the homepage so it sits to the side on desktop and across on mobile? and both you can hover over to change from human to snake

been getting a lot of neocities follows lately? which is great but where the hell are you coming from
the sequence is as follows: (1) get tattoo, (2) gorge self, (3) pass out
see, my evil plan is that if I just keep getting more tattoos, I can delay my human ref revamp indefinitely!
if ur all nonhuman all the time what's the line between conceptual ID euphoria and things / places you just like?

[Candela appears at Zane's unveiling.]
Arlo: why are YOU here?
C: I'm Abuela's ride. She doesn't drive outside of Orre anymore, so I had to pick her up so we could take the train from LA.
A: ...uh, okay, but why is Abuela here?
C: She heard someone was having a baby.
A: ...I don't remember telling you?
C: You're right. You didn't. Care to discuss why I didn't know any of this until Abuela called me? Spark?
S: Uh, technically, since I'm using Team Rocket tech, anyone I work with knowing this baby exists could get us all fired...I told Professor Willow and he specifically told me NOT to tell you or Blanche until the kid was out so I had deniability...
[Abuela marches into the room and looks around. She doesn't register that the veiled object in the back is the tube growing the baby.]
AB: Who's having the baby?
[She notices OTL brooding in the corner and approaches him.]
AB: You are that annoying music man, yes?
OTL: ...
AB [dead serious]: Did you get my granddaughter pregnant?
[I'm not sure if Candela or OTL is more grossed out. After intense revulsion from all parties...]
OTL: Look, lady, I wouldn't want to anyway! She looks like a dude with boobs! (A comment that I saw regularly re: Candela in 2016, which I'm sure isn't at all related to her being one of Pokemon's very few obviously non-Generically Light Skinned, So White Or Japanese Depending On Translation characters...)
Abuela: ...what did you just say, young man?
[La Chancla]
OTL: wait, you weren't wearing flip flops when you came in. How did --
It's at this moment that Arlo finally decides to intervene.
No, I don't know how Abuela heard about this since neither Spark nor Arlo told Candela. It just manifested to me that if she knows SOMEBODY is having a baby, that they are adjacent to Candela somehow, and that everyone is cagey about exactly who and how this happened, and she recognizes Ronnie, there is an extremely logical conclusion.
should probably make dragon!arlo his own character page...tbh, still unsure what to do with dudesverse art but I know the current sys isn't good. at least the guys being dudes couple art can go onto a new page, and I can probably add some character page stuff to the RRverse Gallery page for commissionees' benefit re: 06, because no one else in the RRverse is getting designs
the indie web is not a movement #n+1: "switch to fairphone"...unless you're not in Europe, in which case if you're ordering your sustainable smartphone and all its parts off of Amazon overseas it negates any benefit. oh, and hopefully it actually works on your area's towers, because last time I checked, SIMs from carriers I had access to were hardware and/or software specific
literally lati@s: "it's a bird! it's a plane! it's a...dragon?"
hey, FIR losers, if ya want a new god-king hit me up. I know more about FIR than Ronald does, I'm hotter than him, and I'm just as disgusted by you.

neato that the sub has completely pivoted on the subject of (a) he's gay and (b) he looks like a girl
where the fuck was your reading comprehension in 2024?
not gonna fucking dignify this with belief (leave britney alone!) but remember in march 2024 when ronnie-boy OVERTLY CALLED HIMSELF GAY and your entire population downvoted me within 30 minutes for believing him, and "why are you bringing sexual orientation into it?" pepperidge farms remembers...
on one hand it's a joy to see every part of the FIR ecosystem self-destructing; on the other, HELLO? I was right here? I gave you this with citations in 2024 and you fucking rejected me because "oh that's totally COMMENTARY and tech n9ne's fault and HAVE FAITH that a human being will do his job (that he's been half assing since 2019)"

also looking at the baby ronnies, maybe once i move out i'll start wearing nail polish again...it does serve a legit purpose in that it keeps me from biting my nails but well i've wrapped myself in cishet-passing contempt for obvious reasons
(the irony of my cishet contempt template guy being someone who's pretty blatantly gay is not lost on me)
The point here isnât being a pedant about biology in fictional settings. You know how I feel about that (fuck the dragon fandom / like half of FRD). However, one of the main goals / appeals of transformation art is to be affirming to furries and alter/nonhumans⌠which the typical snake art doesnât do for me because it doesnât align with my experience or snake anatomy. Do better.
My epistemological issues as a biologist and with it not aligning with my experience aside, most therian / alterhuman shit is for and by mammals. There is very little out there for reptile nonhumans (dragons are their own thing, and Iâm sorry, âpaleotheriansâ are basically fictional because every idea we have about dinosaur behaviour is speculation.) so even after looking into alter circles, I have basically had to make all my affirmation myself. I would appreciate more consideration of snakes asâŚvertebratesâŚfrom the TF community, because I am a damned good writer but donât feel too confident drawing or have the money / comfort in social websites to commission transformation art, nor does standard written TF do it for me. Would be real nice to have something to release my snake vibes with less cognitive effort than meditating or making it myself, which I donât necessarily want to do when hardcore snaking! A little thought about anatomy only makes your work stronger, and goes a long way.
(Also, stop with the concept of the âreptilian brainâ. Itâs condescending as fuck and also wrong as an ethologist and reptile â we would do better on cognitive tasks if we werenât fucking half asleep because of your human temperature standards, or forced to operate in sensory modalities we donât use!)
đPSA: If you have a human (or something similarly shaped) turning into a snake, you should have the tail projecting from their spine and the legs receding into it, NOT their legs fusing together! Snakes are tetrapods. They have hip bones. They are not kicking around on one long foot like slugs. You can see this very clearly on any snake with pelvic spurs.
Yes, I know itâs silly to apply real world biology to transformation fiction, but speaking as a snakeboy who really wanted to be affirmed by the art on TransFur: I constantly feel some degree of âshiftâ sensations from a tail, and always have one in headspace. Tbh, I donât necessarily shift vs. just feeling what is always there stronger than usual because I am always a snake; my human form is the sona. Whether the tail exists alongside legs or replaces them in sensation varies, but it is always coming from my spine / lower back, because that is how snakes and tails work. Legs fusing just reminds this snake that you havenât actually thought about snake anatomy so distracts me from the otherwise cool shit going on. Inspired by how I have been way snakier than usual lately and am not sure why, so Iâve been sitting and sleeping oddly for tail reasons.
Iâm not divorced from reality. I went on one date with it that didnât go well.
