(SLAMS MY OCS DOWN)

I MISSED THEM SO MUCH YOU GUYS

Reynold, the ADHD human that he is, has a very hard time focusing on much of anything and the only way he can be considered "accomplished" in his former line of work (CIA) is because he knew. He knew he had to do the task as fast as possible before he forgot what he was doing.

Now he lives in another world and is basically the trophy husband to the demon lord and Reynold is like "this is amazing I'm adopting the whole entire demon army as our children". And the demon lord is like "you want to adopt my demon army" and Reynold is like "starting with your advisors, yes. those are our daughters now. I love them. I would literally kill for them."

And Sascha, the demon lord determined to NOT ACTUALLY FIGHT PEOPLE, is like please don't kill anyone. And his job is now "take care of the entire demon race and also act as impulse control to one human". Luckily his twin advisors love Reynold too and agree to help keep him in line in the world.

And since idk how much I posted on main and not my OC blog for the advisors, Melo (left) is mute and Lody (right) does the talking. They are able to share what they see with each other because of the pink/yellow eyes acting as like a gateway of sorts. So they're rarely assigned to survey the same area since if they're apart they can see twice as much and report on more in order to aid Sascha. (But at the castle they both like to stick together and trail either Sascha or Reynold)

Lodi Comic Con is today at the Grape Festival Grounds in Lodi, CA! Look for the purple tablecloth and the tree full of my handmade dragons to find me and my comics. It’s a hot day out today, but this show is already hopping! Don’t miss out!

📚 October Reading Round-Up 📚

I read some good books this month; definitely more than in September. I have a few I’m hoping to get through in November. Continuing my Vorkosigan Saga and Murderbot journeys (and loving it!).

- Ocean’s Echo by Everina Maxwell

- Ethan of Athos by Lois McMaster Bujold (fun, entertaining, lots of action and humour)

- Rogue Protocol by Martha Wells (amazing, entertaining, funny, emotional, great character development, that ending!!!!)

- Masquerade in Lodi by Lois McMaster Bujold (cute and fun, a bit stressful and very fast-paced, great themes and ending)

- Fantasy Lover by Sherrilyn Kenyon (a re-read, entertaining, interesting themes, great relationship)

- Born of Vengeance by Sherrilyn Kenyon (re-read, more fun this time around, liked the pacing, plot, characters, and relationships, somewhat repetitive in terms of main theme)

- A Natural History of Dragons by Marie Brennan (story worked perfectly as an audiobook, great prose and worldbuilding and characters, almost made me cry, can’t wait to read the next book)

Meet Lody

When traveling through the Dragon Peaks, Max and Co. heard the sound of a banjo. They then came across a country dragon named Lody, who had a crowd of dragons hearing him play; Inluding the Singe Saro and Pulzorc. He thinks Tripatross are psychic...

The taste of victory...?

To Grandma's House we go! (Wednesday Link Party #418)

Welcome to the To Grandma’s House We Go Link Party #418. Well Lodi and I just binge watched season 2 of House of the Dragon and (as you would expect) are all kinds of bummed that its over lol. I’m still not sure if it was better when we had to wait a week for each episode. We don’t get a ton of TV time together so our being able to watch it all at once when we’re both there to enjoy it is kind of…

[dragonchildcomic]

Tomorrow I will be at the Grape Festival Grounds for Lodi Comic Con, and I am finishing up a brand new Embyr for the occasion. I always get a laugh at this stage of the process, but my hands and back will hate me when I’m done sewing her belly up.

The amount of tension I put on the thread is enough to cut into my fingers as I pull each stitch through, so I have silicon finger guards to help against that and cut down on the blisters. Stuffing large plushies is not a low energy process, that’s for sure. Pictures of her completed soon!

I present to you all my brand new Embyr! She turned out so cute! This one is definitely one of the best faces on an Embyr to date. Now it is time for me to rest my tired and sore hands to get ready for the comic con in the morning. Be one of the first to see her in person tomorrow, Saturday May 11, at Lodi Comic Con!

Ride or Die

~I was in the office of my restaurant Dragon Gardens. My father owns several business around Oakland and Lodi. I wanted my own business so my father helped to acquire this restaurant for me. Just like my father's legit businesses, it's a front for illegal services that my family provides. My family business is drug,guns,prostitution and death. My father Henry Lin, is the leader of the Lin Triad. My part of the family business deals with death. I am used on special cases,because of my training and that I am a woman. Most people don't suspect a woman to be an assassin.

As I was counting money for the bank deposit as I yelled out for Ed Chen~

Ed! Get in here please.

“Yes, Ms. Lin. How can I help?”

I need you to take the deposit to the bank. Then I need you go by my dad's office. He left a package for me.

“Yes,Ms. Lin”

~Ed takes the deposit with him as he snaps for one his lackies when they head out the door. I leaned back into my chair,as I was looking through the mail. When my cell phone ring,I see that it's my father.~

Hi father. What's going on?

“I am sure you haven't seen the news in the last 24 hours.”

No, I don't watch the news father. What was on the news?

“You friend @ofpetalsnash was attacked at her tattoo shop. She is alive,but pretty beat up. You will be proud to know she killed all her attackers.”

What! Oh my god. Wait, you said attackers not attacker. Who sent them? I will head over to Charming after Ed gets back with your package.

“Yes attackers, 4 if I heard correctly. Just leave for Charming,My daughter. The stuff in the package will keep. Make sure you take some food. It would be a proper gesture. Be safe and keep me updated.”

Thank you father. I will. I love you.

~I disconnected the call and headed to the kitchen. I told the chefs to make me a bunch of friend rice, lo mein, and egg rolls. I love being the boss here. They are always very helpful and accommodating of my wishes. I headed back to my office and opened the safe. I take out my gun and some money. About 30 mins later, one of the waiters knocked on the door. He informed me my car was loaded with food. I thanked him and left to my car. I am glad Lexi handled those men. I will make damn sure I get the person that ordered the attack on Lexi . ~

So the real battle is the girl group with Djeeta and the Eternal boy band ft Grand against Lodi and the Dragon Knights is what I'm hearing

Exactly.

with also deep questions about how Lancelot managed to sound exactly like Gran while ripping him off--
