Positive Reinforcement (^. .^) Suggestions welcome Posted 1 month ago
Hi hi sweetie treats (^. .^) hope you are all keeping well and have been getting up to all sorts of scrumptious and squirmy shenanigans.

In a few days this very very squishy dragon is embarking on another real push to bring my weight down, at first doing a crash style fad diet to take off a fair chunk quickly and then transitioning into a proper sustainable change of better exercise and better eating/portions for the long run (well that's the goal and plan at least!).

So I was pondering around motivation and encouragement - Right now I have plenty but I know as soon as clothes start to fit better, tasks get a little easier and the uncomfy feeling goes that can vanish faster than one of you willing yumyums near my lips XD

So I was curious if you...

Hearts & Hugs day - 2025 (^. .^) Posted 2 months ago
Well flip me it is mid Feb already 0.o where is this year vanishing too? My terrible time blindness aside had a little message for everyum!

Today I continue my own going quest to encourage people to celebrate, appreciate and thank those around them that bring them comfort, that share compassion and kindness, give their time to others and are all round just wonderful people or friends that enrich the day and bring smiles or a warm fuzzy feeling to you.

So I want to wish each and everyone of you scrumptious, sweet and special yumyums and happy and hug filled Hearts & Hug day (^. .^) So many sweeties go through their days not aware of how even their small actions can have a positive impact on those around them, so if you have the time and energy today, tell them...

Furrycons 2025 - who is going? - NFC, CFZ, EF Posted 5 months ago
Sweeeeeeeties! One and Yum lend me your ears (^. .^)

So I have been a little more organised for once and actually managed to book off the dates on and around 3 furry cons this year but not sure we can afford all 3 yet. So I wanted to ask how many of you adorable and scrumptious lot were planning to attend any we had our eyes on as that might help me pick which ones to prioritise.

If you are going to any of the below and are comfy to share - could you let me know below? Would be amazing to see as many of your cuties (and hug ya) as possible <3

NFC - NordicFuzzCon
CFZ - ConFuzzled
EF - Eurofurence


Thanks sweeties, stay scrumptious!
Goomiriko (^. .^) Looking for goo/slime artists Posted 6 months ago
Most important bit of info first - I am looking for suggestions on artists who do goo/slime creatures very well, bonus points if they are in the vore circles as well or have a good track record for dragons as well (^. .^)

So some of you sweeties who read the walls of text I put out sometimes or have spoken to me IC might know that although I call myself a water dragon for sake of ease, that is just my performed shape and Umi is deep down a water elemental - think a highly magical aquatic slime. Now this has only popped up in art a couple of times so far which is rather silly now I come to think of it and have only touched on it with my writing that made it into Umi-Bot.

So after playing around with goo in VRchat a lot more recently I really want to delve into and...

EuroFurence 2024 Posted 6 months ago
Aaaaaaand I’m back (^. .^) after a lovely but exhausting time away in Germany for Eurofurence 2024. This has been my first EF since the covid pandemic reared its ugly head and my second con of the year after Confuzzled. I wanted to write down a few thoughts and feelings for anyyum who would be interested and for my own reflections as well.

The new site – having moved from Berlin to Hamburg, biiiiiiiig plus! Don’t get me wrong, Berlin was a fair city with good food and they had got plenty of time to get used to the fur suits randomly turning up every year like a great migration, but for this to be only the second time in Berlin, I was impressed! The locals were curious, friendly and engaging, the city had fantastic public transport and great food options and the convention...

Eurofurence here we come (^. .^) Posted 7 months ago
After many, many, maaaaaaaaaaaaaany years my very large and squishy blue and yellow butt is returning to EuroFurence (^. .^)

If any of you adorable, scrumptious, wiggly, precious and snuggly treats are going to be in Germany for the convention I really hope we bump into each other (^. .^) I will of course be at the vore meet, but also bouncing between other panels, events and shows.

I am hard to meet as I am rather vast, so keep an eye out for a big round squishy dragon wearing my con badge. I love to chat and chillax so never hesitate to pop over and say hi if you spot me, free hugs are available on request for all sweeties brave enough to get into nibbling range.

For anyone going in person or attending in VR, I hope you all have an incredible time...

Gym and home internet advice please ^^ Posted 9 months ago
Hey sweeties, after two very different pieces of advice from any yum in the know. They are about home networks and weight lifting. Appreciate any and all who give the time to share their knowledge (^. .^) so thank you in advance.


Firstly, home internets: in brief I want to increase the strength of our WiFi. We have a decent basic router from our ISP but nothing too fancy. Our house isn't massive but walls are pretty dense. Currently the room I want to get better signal in (for VR stuff) gets yellow middle strength signal and my PC lives in thr same room as the WiFi router.
So my question is would you advise:
A) a better WiFi router
B) a WiFi extender
C ) a WiFi booster
D) combo of above
E) something else
If you can say why...

Confuzzled - 2024 - thoughts, feelings and musing. Posted 10 months ago
Knackered, worn out, ill with a cold/cough - but so, so, soooooooooooooooooooooo worth it!

Gosh I can't believe how quickly the years went by since covid, forgot how much I enjoyed going to furry cons, but thankfully that passion has been rekindled!

So this silly wet creature was lucky enough to get the time off work to go to Confuzzled this year, going with my partner Karyn and adopting our deerlightful friend Winterglade for the trip too. Met so many wonderful sweeties from the community that I had only known online up until now, was so nice to put faces to names and share hugs with these cuties I have wanted to squeeze for ages.

The shows, meets and panels we went to, awesome and entertaining! The queuing noooot so much XD I am a very chonky...

Feeling much better (^. .^) thank you all <3 Posted 1 year ago
Hey sweeties,

I wanted to take a quick moment to update, following my burnout post around a month ago. I am delighted to say I am feeling much better and am well on the way to a solid mend. Still got a bit of a hill to climb but both physically and emotionally I am feeling much better (well except the weight I have packed on but hey, more the cuddle XD). Plenty of rest and a reduction in responsibilities for a while really helped drain the bucket of stress and pressure I was balancing on my thinker and I had time to relax, unwind and snuggle the heck out of Karyn who has been such a star in helping me smile and take it easy.

I will still be taking things slow and in steps, carefully reflecting on each one to make sure I am not just marching right back into the...
