Feral Fridays 2024 | Of Silvered Refuge

All ye feral souls, we welcome to our humble circle, our refuge from the baking sun and terrors of the day.   That we might rise within the blackest night to CREATE!
  In this harsh world, everyone has a need for respite, and for refuge from the troubles of the day. We find these pockets of safety in many places: our bozy beds, our crafting spaces, and our beloved communities — among many others!   What does refuge look like in your worlds? What exactly are your world's creations taking shelter from? Where can we find a breath of safety in the wide expanse of your imagination put to paper? Yes WA counts as paper... virtual paper? Whatever, show me those articles!

This article stands tall on my list of joyful reading experiences for many reasons, but the use of the term "slappening" is a strong factor. I'm delighted by this place!

The chilled air blowing through the icy streets does nothing to hamper the warmth and excitement that the local Pingus have for each other and every visitor.


 
Stars

Transforming celestial bodies into living, communicating creatures was something I didn't expect, but I'm enthralled by the idea of the stars singing songs across space.

Bes Nereids

Intelligent creatures considered to be sophontic, though seen as feral by most — I love seeing how they nonverbally communicate with their onshore neighbors.

Every week needs to have a horror reading. This week, it's wasps forged of dragon scales. I'm just proud to have pronounced that long name in there with relative success.

I really enjoyed the opening quote to this article, and I love the insight we get into a working creature that's incredibly useful, but very dangerous when needed.

Remember when I said we had our horror read this week? I spoke too soon. I cannot describe this in a way that does justice to the fever dream Hanhula has unleashed on us.

Dreams give rise to the creation of odd imaginary creatures. Sometimes, those become... teeth?
