i learned that actor Danny Trejo has the most on-screen deaths of anyone in Hollywood history, with 65. Followed by Christopher Lee (60), Lance Henriksen (51), Vincent Price (41), Dennis Hopper (41), Boris Karloff (41), and John Hurt (39). (x)

I initially intended to share them here - and then went to the discord for help instead. So Hi :wave:, sorry if you already saw this today and thought it was something new.

Anyway, here's the results from the latest surveys from the reporters on the street in the 'The dragonette', getting the real dirt on what dragons really think about things.

(Sorry for the picture quality, tumblr eating its' young once again. They should be big enough to read when clicked on.)

I just found out that in the Korean translation of Conclave for some reason Benítez is balding and sports an actual beard??? Like the translator saw that enticing lock of hair and just plucked it from his scalp and plastered it on his chin i mean this is character assassination i'm not even joking

Also they left out the bisexual representation part and made it look like Lomeli was almost asexual? I mean asexual representation is nice but this is just weird... even apart from the obvious explanation of widespread homophobia this is weird let my repressed old man keep notice hot people who are his coworkers and be triple guilty about it

Haha funnyy art with characters from The Conclave (2024) that was probably just an excuse to draw Benitez (far left)

Finally watched conclave, loved it

Alright then, here's another sketch. This time Lien from the Temeraire book series! I like to imagine she wore those fancy crowns back in China, I just like drawing dragons with crowns. Learned something this time: Never use white ink pen while drawing on your lap, it really sucks

A bunch of flag-waving and torch-holding and screaming my lungs out and singing and general mob behavior

Temeraire would've loved it

Laurence's most famous actions take place during his years as an Aerial Corps captain/admiral, and he will go down in history as Captain Will Laurence Of Temeraire, but his naval past remains the biggest part of his career as a soldier and he will never forget his roots.

And neither will his friends from the Corps.

In fact, they will NOT let him forget. Even years into his service in the Corps, even if he has taken to aviator life like a fish to water, even if everyone has a deep respect for him as a dragon captain (and still thinks of him as a competent aviator after The Events), even if he would look weird in blue Navy uniform to anyone who has known him since 1805, deep down in everyone's mind, he's still basically the Token Naval Guy.

Someone has a question about ships or sea? Immediately asks Laurence.

A Navy captain makes the news? "Was it one of your former buddies, Laurence?" "For the last time, I don't know every single captain sailing in England"

Jokes about seamen? Laurence braces himself because half of the time he's included in the joke, even if the punchline is making fun of how he is Not Like The Other Navymen

A couple of years after the war, Emily and Demane unexpectedly drop by in a rush and Laurence panics for a moment, before it turns out they want to settle if a weird fact they heard about sailing life is true, and of all their social circle, the only man who can answer the question AND be honest is Will Laurence.

And yet if someone outside the Corps calls Laurence a sailor, every single aviator will scoff at you and sneer that excuse you, that's Captain Laurence, respectable aviator of the Aerial Corps, that you're talking about, Sir.

Happy New Year folks

2025 is gonna be so much better than the last one bc it really cannot get worse

Somebody made a very good headcanon about Temeraire grudgingly offering Levitas to share Laurence as captain ("he's OUR captain"). And I think that Laurence should be collecting dragons! To the point where any British feral dragon invokes the right of calling Laurence their captain when somebody confronts them about having no captain. Most military people just go "figures, bloody Laurence at it again" and move on.
