I agree!
Comic by BreakfastPlease featuring the dragoness A'hra. Unlike many dragons, she's quite shy and retiring, but used to be brainwashed into eating people. So I'm giving her that experience again as therapy, but with a harmless outcome!

Weird but wonderful crossover between the super talented @sheeptastic.bsky.social and @theabbeyroadie.bsky.social, drawn by Abbey. Sylia meeting a Lovecraftian Aberration. And sharing sugar cookies with him. A meeting made in... somewhere!

#furry #emmy #sylia #laurenkisich #sheeptastic
A most unusual meeting. On the right, Emmy the Shoggoth half in his sheep disguise. On the left is Sylia the Halavahdonz who thinks Emmy is just sort of a deep sea shapeshifter. Both are sharing Emmy favourite treat, sugar cookies with frosting. (Don't ask too many questions. Like Emmy the Sheepoggoth, it will break your brain. Just roll with it like Sylia. Heck, Emmy may like having someone who thinks he is friend shaped around!)

Some things don't need many words. This is Sylia hugging @theabbeyroadie.bsky.social for all she does for her customers.

She is a joy and a pleasure to work with and she wanted a Sylia hug.

Wish granted.

Sylia hugging Lauren Kisich, the actual artist behind The Abbey Roadie. She wanted a Halavahhug she got one, right in the feels.

A rare post from me. Why? Because it involves a pred made prey-for comedy, rather than a true role switch.

My recently created character, Petal the ostrich, is young, brash, and overconfident, and decides to take on Postle, the apex predator of the Dweet-Tea's zoo.
The first page of Petal the ostrich, young, brash, and confident, vs. Postle the kangaroo, a character of Dweet-Tea's and the apex (and most experienced) predator in the zoo. Fight! Petal, mostly by beginner's luck, manages to get the drop on Postle when she's taking a drink at her pond. The ostrich swallows Postle down in one huge gulp. Petal got to count coup, but then came the consequences. Postle launches Petal by booting her right in the underfluffies and lands her in the pond, Wile E. Coyote style. Is the punishment over for Petal? Oh hell no. ... with a truly intense boot to the belly, Petal finds herself going flying right out of the water, and smashes into the outer wall of Postle's enclosure. And it ain't over yet. Using her belly a second time, Postle launches Petal off the wall, and smashes her headfirst into the tree where her tire swing is. It's a K.O.! And Petal, surrendering (not that she had a choice!) lays Postle out in an egg as normal. The last panel is Postle rubbing her hands together, having taught this young upstart predator that it isn't so easy getting the drop on old Postle! And yet, despite this rather rough introduction, the two predators may not have seen the last of each other! Art is by www.furaffinity.net/user/dweet-tea.

Everybody has to have a stinger these days. What happens when Nimona returns home, in Halavahdon form, just to troll Ballister?

The inevitable freakout. At least they're not going to fire heavy artillery at her this time.

Having kaiju forms outside her Shadow Dragon and Light Phoenix gonna be FUN.
Nimona has finally returned home to her kingdom. But she returned home in *Halavahdon* form - all 350 feet of it - and is peering over the wall, Attack on Titan style, at a definitely-freaking-out-Ballister. "Hey, Boss!" A great stinger to, IMHO, a great series by Lauren Kirich, aka The Abbey Roadie. She's awesome.

And now for something *completely* different. Being a Stephen King fan for decades, when I first saw Lobo from The Last Wish, my ears perked up, and I started to do a little research.

I was right. Turns out the character is *heavily* based off the Stephen King Big Bad Randall Flagg.
The character Death from Puss in Boots: The Last Wish walking out of the Wishing Star's fire like the character Randall Flagg walking out of the Dark Tower. Flagg is the Big Bad of the Stephen King multiverse in the same way that Lobo was the Big Bad of The Last Wish, and while the Dark Tower is vastly bigger a story, both hit on the same themes. And Lobo is a near picture-perfect "Exported Character" of Randall Flagg himself. With his scythes out and ready for combat, he's scarier than a lot of depictions of Randall Flagg on both the large and small screen. In this preliminary sketch he's walking out of the Wishing Star's fire like Flagg walking out of the Dark Tower to face Roland Deschain. The quote, from The Stand, is: "He looks just like anybody you see on the street. But when he grins, birds fall dead off telephone lines. When he looks at you a certain way... your urine burns. The grass yellows up and dies where he spits. He's always outside [of things]. He came out of time... ... he doesn't know himself." Flagg, or Lobo? Either of these red-eyes psychopaths can ruin your day in an instant. Hope you never meet either of them.

Or I can post some here. (Damn Bsky for not letting me post files in private chat).

Recent SFW example involving a wounded dragon serpent who since became a dear friend.
First meeting with Zakk the snake dragon, badly wounded by a manticore he subsequently ate. I have a whole kit for dragon care and offer it to Zakk. After a thorough treatment with healing oils on his wounds to soothe and start healing them, I reveal my internal massage skills and he loves the idea. He doesn't want to hurt me, but cannot resist dessert. Bottoms up! He loves to be stretched out so I increase in size as I move down his long body... And eventually reach his striped tailtip. He gets a good hard stretching over his entire length at once then more under his tail. Zakk's reaction is to simply melt right there. After it is all done he decides to keep me around a while within him. He could kill and digest me if he wanted, but he'd much rather have a friend and built in masseur. Thanks to my magic, he won't ever go hungry either.

This one is just too cute for words. I love getting pictures with the Halavahcubs, and this is no exception. fel-Nimona the Warrior, in one great breach, shows just how quickly she can change shape. A literal skin-diver!

Art is by @theabbeyroadie.bsky.social as usual, off-stream.
Two Halavahcubs getting a once in a lifetime show from Nimona. Leaping up out of the water, she switches seamlessly from otter, to dolphin, to whale, to shark, and then re-enters the water. The forms make an arc over the setting sun. This is pure joy for all three; the cubs think this is pure fire, and so does Nimona. Getting to *show off* her shapeshifting ability to kids that love every moment of it? The Halavahcubs may be as big as Fin Whales, but they're still kids! And in many ways, so is Nimona.

And now for something a little different: Sylia done manga style by @ukabor.bsky.social / Heigen. He does a beautiful job with the big girl, giving her just the right mix of friendly and alien appearance. A very good job by one of my favorite Japanese artists!

#sylia #halavahverse #ukabor #furry
Simple portrait of Sylia done by Heigen / Ukabor. She's wide in the hips and thick in the tail, which suits her perfectly. He even took the time to give her a proper orca dorsal fin and a set of tail flukes that would do ANY orca proud. In the portrait she is looking over her shoulder, and in her blue eyes you can see both the familiar and the alien. She's a whale-otter through and through, and Ukabor knocks it out of the park first time out.

This has to be one of my favorite of the series, bar none. The farewell, when the Halavahdon prepare to send Nimona back to her realm. The cubs, though, have their own good-bye to give, and it's salve on a millenia-old wound.

And the Halavahdon learned something from the experience.
The farewell assembly for Nimona. She's getting a grand sendoff: mel-Lothann on the left looking like a proud father, mar-Tykoni, Grand Matriarch, giving her a proper sendoff and telling her she is always welcome. But it's the cubs that leave the real impression. These cubs aren't pointing pointy things at her and calling her a monster. They're giving her cub-kisses, and hoping she returns! She's fun to be around! Nimona, in her Halavahdon form, could not be happier. Finally: She showed her prowess as a warrior in protecting the cubs and got a proper thank you for it. She'd probably hate hearing it, but she'd make a damn good knight.

This reminds me a lot of my macro character Sylia. She's a giant marshmallow for whom "alternate sexuality" is just a day ending in "Y" in her people's pods. She'd say the exact same things your dragon would!
My old pic by Lauren Kirich showing Sylia the whale-otter sitting on a beach, her tail flat to the ground. Two friends, Doohan the otter and Aether the pterodactyl, are on each of her flukes giving her a rub. Needless to say, she's busy blissing out. Macro-micro interactions don't have to be destructive or sexual. Sometimes, they're just fun.

Let's step back into the past a few steps. Before they let ANYONE near their kids, Kytana, who is a powerful psychic, gives Nimona an interview. It nearly goes disastrously wrong, but Ky knows a hurt kid when she sees one no matter how ancient they are.

She has had enough of her own.
Kytana the Leviaphin giving Nimona in Halavahdon form a telepathic interview: Kytana: You have a monster in you... Nimona: DON'T CALL ME A MON-- Kytana: Calm, Ancient One. I would never do that. The monster inside you was put there by countless centuries of unjust treatmemt. That would have damaged anyone. Nimona: Then how do I control this... thing? Kytana: You already started. You have a very dear podmate in your friend Ballister. We welcome you as long as you will wish to stay, but you must return to your friend afterward. He is what you need to heal. Kytana is grandmother to a number of grandcalves. She knows a few things about mothering.

The ultimate honor for a newly minted Warrior: To be "knighted" by mar-Tykoni herself, Benefactor Pod chief and the most important Matriarch on the planet.

Once a Warrior, forever a Warrior, no matter where her travels take her and what form she is in. She earned this. And now she has two homes.
An induction ceremony on Halavahworld. On the left is mar-Tykoni, the Grand Matriarch of the Halavahdon, telling Nimona she has achieved the rank of Benefactor Warrior and giving her a Warrior Crystal. She is bowing her head to the ancient shapeshifter, out of respect. In the center is mel-Lothann, watching this like a proud father. And to the right is an absolutely delighted Nimona in Halavahdon form, admiring her new crystal necklace. She's gone from being accepted nowhere to having two families. And wherever she goes, she will always carry this badge of honor with her.

Part 4 (final) of Nimona vs. Longjaw. The Longjaw finally gets the point and swims for his life. That smirk of Nimona's could be seen a mile away. And as for Chief Lothann? He's impressed. It's *hard* to impress him. Atta girl, Nimona. That's a creche full of cubs safe.
Nimona in her pink whale form on the left, a smug look on her face as the Longjaw flees for their life with an "AAAAAAAA!" All Chief Lothann, in the background, can say is "...Creative. Good job, fel-Nimona." Complements do not come easy to the scarred old Warrior, but she EARNED that one.

Part 3 of Nimona vs. Longjaw. You are being confronted by a giant pink whale. What would you expect the vector of attack to be? If you guessed, "Breathe fire underwater at opponent" congrats. You know Nimona better than she knows herself.

Nobody tell Todd (from the movie). His brain would melt.
Nimona, as a giant pink whale, breathing fire on the enemy Longjaw to the right (A Longjaw is a cross between a mosasaur and a basilosaur). Yes, breathing fire. Underwater. In the background is mel-Lothann, chief of the Benefactors' Warrior Pod, doing a double-take at this. He may have seen it all, but NOBODY expects Nimona.

I've always loved Dweet-Tea's introduction of Petal the ostrich. Not just for the gulp itself, but what came immediately before and after. Toony stuff like this will always be my bag.
Comic featuring Dweet Tea's character Petal the ostrich, newest denizen at his zoo. Petal likes ambushing smaller critters, but she's actually an herbivore. She just likes the feel of it. So the comic proceeds with Petal doing just that - ambushing a small gryphon in flight, so he flies right into her bill. Then down the hatch and into her belly. HE tries to escape from her underfluffies but no way out there - just more pleasure for Petal. She ends the encounter by pulling a Yoshi move and egging him out. If she tried to digest him, she'd get a huge tummyache, but this is much more fun!

"This is the part where you RUN."

I'd take her advice, young Longjaw. This isn't any ordinary Halavahdon warrior, and your day is about to get thoroughly ruined.

Art is by @theabbeyroadie.bsky.social, who's doing a smash-up job with this Nimona/Halavahdon crossover.

Let's break stuff.
Confrontation! Nimona on the left in a hugely upsized whale form - she's the size of Monstro! - going nose to nose with the young Longjaw, a cross between a mosasaur and a basilosaur. The warm-blooded reptile, a young one, is looking more than a little nervous about this sudden stranger up in his grill. He's going to be a lot more nervous before Nimona gets through with him.

The story continues! A wide patrol scout swims up and issues a quick burst of Halavahdon, answered by mel-Lothann. Here's Nimona's chance to prove just how much she can whack tailflukes. Protect the cubs!

Art is by @theabbeyroadie.bsky.social, who loves drawing these gigantic whotters!
Three character sketch from @Theabbeyroadie.bsky.com. On the left is a wide patrol scout, the first line of defense for a Halavahdon creche. He reports a Longjaw, a deadly predator, very close to the creche in native Halavahdon. mel-Lothann, in the middle, acknowledges, then translates for Nimona. He offers to send the new warrior in to test her "metal." On the right, Nimona, still a shark from playing with the cubs, is all over it.

I did get a painting a while ago from Heather Bruton of Chunky getting in slightly over his head (with me). Mostly just harmless fun (and a rather confused Chunky).
Chunky the Macawnivore (saber-tooth cat colored like a Red-And-Green Macaw) from the Croods. He accidentally ate me in gryphon form and ended up with me in his tail! Poor boy isn't sure what to do - on the one hand, the attention to his tail feels nice, on the other, this is *embarrassing.* Especially as he's dragged backwards by his own tail!

Unlike most Warrior Halavahdon, Nimona loves kids, and here she is helping train a couple. One's trying to swim the "human" way - with arms and legs. It's not very effective. The other cub is swimming like a Halavahdon, undulating her body, legs, and tail together like a dolphin. And they can MOTOR.
A picture of Nimona in her (feral) shark form with two Halavahcubs chasing her in a hunting exercise. One is being left hopelessly behind because he doesn't know how to swim right yet, but his podsister is right on Nimona's tail and about to pounce. She's telling them both, "First one to catch me gets to put their head in my mouth!" and the cubs both think this is "Metal!" And these cubs won't be pointing spears at her and calling her a monster. They think she's awesome. A short adventure - and acceptance - for Nimona but a lifetime of good memories for these cubs. No monsters here. Just kids, no matter their age, having fun.

(3/4) Their most important feature. The ones that leave their world and go Exploring are specially trained to be around Tinies without hurting them. They aren't there to maim and kill and destroy - they're there to make friends. And as this shows... many of them are just big marshmallows.
The classic pic by @Theabbeyroadie.bsky.social of Sylia getting fluke rubs, pretty much her #1 weakness. The two giving her the rubs are her boyfriend and heart-bonded Doohan Lackey Otter, and the pterodactyl Aether, a dear friend. With TWO working on both flukes at once, not much Sylia wants to do other than blep, close her eyes, and soak it all up. Even giant critters get sore and Exploration is like being an astronaut - on full alert at all times. You have a real bad day in space, someone dies. It is no different for the Explorers. That belt around their waist malfunctions, they crumble into a pile of gore. The laws of physics very much are real to them.

(2/4) I'd ever seen. 30 years freaking later, suddenly, my OC had a name, a face, and a STORY. Sylia was born, redesigned as Halavahdon v2.0. Ken liked it so much, he redid his original 1991 image with Sylia. She is, of course, holding Ken gently. It's a huge deal for them both and illustrates...
A duplicate of the original pose from 1991, but this one featuring the modern version of Sylia, Halavahdon v2.0, with a large dorsal fin, arm fins, a large set of tail flukes, and other whale-like features. She is effectively a giant orca-otter, with all that that implies. She is holding her creator in her hand, Ken Cougar himself, and he's loving being so close to a Big that won't hurt him. (Even if he loves to be stomped and is indestructible, that doesn't mean she wants to TEST that...)
