Working on some Satra chapters in Saberbeak tonight, so the appropriate desktop background is Funkbun's fan art =]

Forever resisting the urge to split Saberbeak and give Satra her own book just so we can get her on the cover. For such an important character, I don't think she even has interior art?

Funkbun on Tumblr's fan art of Satra, a golden-crowned kinglet caracal gryphon and the protagonist of the novel Ashen Weald by K. Vale Nagle. Showing her with her ears straight up, then back as she looks skeptical and annoyed, and finally forwards as she's looking at a taiga gryphon with wide eyes and the lesbian pride flag is beneath her.

Opening up a scene with Stripes and all four motmots in a giant nest while the mates of two of the motmots have to sleep on the floor.

"They had called her reevesbane, reeve, reeve-sister, and finally just sister, these four motmot bodyguards who would not give Stripes their names."

A motmot jaguar gryphon with adorable little ears, four kitty paws, and a motmot's long tail with two dongles going off the edge of the art.

Why did she wake up. Does she have an alert set for whenever anyone mentions her online.

I stopped moving for five seconds and Cal is pretending to be asleep on top of me so I don't go take a shower and start my day.

@colinstu @kootenay I hear this in the Dark Knight "why so serious" voice.

Oh wait, do you not know about the sandgrouse, a species of desert bird that will fly up to 30 miles to soak up a puddle and bring the water home to its mate and chicks to drink?

Doctors' appointments today were all really good except for the part where none got me back on IVIG =/

The pain levels are just ramping up from here.

@kootenay Is this about the skunks that keep trying to get me to let them inside the house?

Tell Beatrice and Beuregarde that we are not friends and they are not indoor cats.

@PurplePest It is 100% how I write protagonists. When I saw the meme, my brain felt very called out!

Whenever someone says "we should be friends!" I feel like they should be required to talk to one of my existing friends to be sure that's something they really want.

Roy: so if you could just eat anything you wanted without consequences — cause I don't know if you have any dietary restrictions of any kind — what's your favorite food?

Vale: Not oarfish.

RE: meow.social/@kvalenagle/115691

I highly recommend getting and reading this series. The Gryphon Insurrection is a 8 book fantasy epic, with only gryphons and opinici, no humans.

It has a huge cast of absolutely fantastic characters, multiple storylines and goliath birds.

I have myself recently listened through the audiobooks. They are narrated by the fantastic James Scott Spaid (@Eclipse), he even sings the songs.

The audiobooks can be found here: libro.fm/search?q=Gryphon+Insu

GryphIns authors just want one thing and it's disgusting.

We're firmly in "there's no rule in the book that says a cat can't be a cheerleader" territory now, but they just want any Medicaid doctor to re-send the order, and my HRT doctor is covered by Medicaid, so we'll see if he'll do it tomorrow and if they take it.

Usually, when I'm in a lot of pain, I can tell myself that it's the nerves healing and it'll pass. Here on day 8 without treatment, it's been tough to realize what I'm feeling now is the opposite happening.

(I see a doctor tomorrow who may or may not be able to help with this. Wish me luck.)
