Blog of a Shattered Wing

Hello there. My name is Atylbene, or Soren. I'm just a polymorphic median system. Nothing special. I don't have much to say. Well, I kind of do, but I'm ...

I'm Still Here

Greetings to anyone who stumbles across this. I am still here. I just haven't had much to write about that would intrigue the internet world. I am still working hard to improve myself; it's tough, but it's doable. Yesterday, I went on a day trip to Wisconsin to do a mini bike tour from Sturtevant to Kenosha. I had a fun time! Even saw a wild turkey which is rare for the area. The only negative was…

Aurene's Lament

What does it mean to be an Elder Dragon? When one thinks of it without knowing where the term came from, they might assume it’s just an old dragon because the word “elder” is there. I suppose it can be true, but the way humans describe “old” is considered “young” to me. I am Aurene. I am an Elder Dragon. My job is to protect. My purpose is to watch over those who cannot watch themselves. As a…

Happy (Late) Trans Day of Visibility

Sorry if I'm late for this. I haven't had the chance to make a blog post in a while. Anyway, I want to wish a Happy (Late) Trans Day of Visility. As a non-binary transfem critter, I see you and I'm happy you're still here. I know things right now are tough, and it seems like there's more opposition now more than ever, but know by just existing as yourself, you are already showing resistance, and…

An Interest in Bike Touring

A few days ago, I got a new bike. It's only a Trek bike; nothing too crazy. It rides better than my old bike, at least, so no complaints from me. Well, one complaint is that it's a bit harder to climb uphill, but that's a skill issue from me. Anyway, I've been looking at videos about the bike, and for the first time the algorithm worked out well because I've been recommended videos of bikepacking…

Wanting to be a (Real) Dragon

(Note: This post is not an accusation or attack on any person or any community. This is simply a post of my struggles, desires, and experiences in hopes of documenting my strange identity). I wish I could be a dragon. As a polymorph, dragons are extremely important to my identity. Without dragons, more than half of my core would be gone. I've been fascinated with dragons since I was young. I…

The Discord Situation

As many may know: Discord is officially introducing age verification starting in March. Honestly, I had a feeling this would eventually happen, but I was hoping maybe it would happen later within the year? Anyway, something I've noticed is a lot of people are planning to leave Discord and moving to different alternatives, some of which include TeamSpeak, Stoat, and Fluxer. I don't really do voice…

26 Years (Is this blog still relevant?)

Yesterday was Valentine's Day. More importantly: yesterday was my birthday. I am not 26 years old in the human world. At this point, I don't know if that's a good thing or a bad thing. I'll be honest: I really didn't think I'd still be alive because of... reasons, but here I am. Again, I don't know if it's a good thing or a bad thing. It's difficult to process. My birthday was... ok? I got some…

I'm Ashamed to Call Myself an American

Not even five days into 2026, and already stuff is messed up. I'm sure you've all heard of the United States invading Venezuela and capturing the president. Honestly, this is just really confusing. Like yea, he was a ruthless dictator ruining the economy, and you can clearly see local Venezuelans celebrating his capture, but can the US really just yoink someone from their country and indict them…

A Year of Thanatophobia

It's been a year since I developed thanatophobia, which is the fear of death. It kind of happened randomly. I just came back from a trip, and the night I was home, I had really bad existential nightmares that led me to start fearing death. Now, I've had these kind of nightmares before, but they were tolerable and went away soon after. But this one stuck. And it stuck hard. It led me to have…

Polymorph November 2025

Note: This entire writing is inspired by BeepBird’s Polymorph November 2024 . All credit and inspiration belongs to them. The Basics What is a polymorph? Well, let’s start with the literal terms. In chemistry, a polymorph is a crystalline form with the same chemical compound, but can come in different arrangements. The best example of this is carbon. Diamonds, coal, and graphite are all composed…
