I can't tell if my dragon worldbuilding has gone too far when I start reading scientific papers on bat wig morphology and comparing them to bird morphology.

before and after

[justaz]

Dragonlords/ladies are born with the dormant soul of a dragon. When they reach age five, they take part in a naming ceremony. They are placed in an enclosed space with a dragon egg and surrounded by flames that burn as they form a bond with the dragon inside the egg. The dragon’s name will form in their mind and fall from their lips before they can truly comprehend it. Instantly, the dragon egg will begin to hatch and the dragonsoul within the child is awakened and as the flames lick at their bodies, dragonfire ignites within them. Their dragon features form - scales, claws, fangs, and wings. Their sight and hearing improves and with the dragonfire in their soul, they can breathe fire on command.

The new Dragonlord/lady will emerge from the flames with their dragon on their shoulder and will be hailed as the next in their family line to take the title of Dragonlord/lady. For example, when Balinor of Ambrosius married Nerys of Draigwen and sired their child, they had a daughter - Ganieda. When Ganieda performed her naming ceremony, she was hailed as the next Dragonlady of the Draigwen line. The eldest child of the line will carry the title of Dragonlord/lady in accordance with which if their parents carries the gift.

As Nerys was the Dragonlady of family Draigwen, he daughter carried on the gift. Since Balinor and Nerys could not try for a son to carry on the gift of Dragonlord of the Ambrosius line, Balinor was to be the last. However, after the Purge, Balinor found himself on a farm in a small village called Ealdor with a woman named Hunith. Their time together was short but the attraction they felt was genuine and before long, Hunith came to be with child. Balinor did not learn he was to have a child before he moved on but in nine months, Hunith gave birth to a baby boy - Merlin. He carried the dormant soul of a dragon and since he did not have his naming ceremony at five, he carried on through life cold and incomplete.

When Merlin finally found a dragon egg to hatch, he was in his twenties and found the transition from mortal man to Dragonlord quite staggering for the changes were why Dragonlords/ladies were named so young. With Merlin’s naming ceremony, the Ambrosius line lived on. Balinor, under the impression that Uther and his knights destroyed his home and slaughtered his family, believed himself to be alone. Just as Ganieda, who watched Camelot knights burn her home and kill her aunts, uncles, and cousins, believed her father, who had been visiting Camelot, dead.

However, all three are out in the realm with their dragons - Balinor with Kilgharrah, Ganieda with Lykos, and Merlin with Aithusa. The last two Dragonlord/lady lines - Ambrosius and Draigwen. Maybe one day Ganieda and Merlin will be able to meet and bond as long lost brother and sister. Maybe Balinor will be able to have both of his children together. Maybe Ganieda will be able to form her new family with her father and brother.

oe kay

semi old oc(?) of mine. Really just the concept of drawing anthro rainworld lizards, idk I used to draw em a lot.

[puppppppppy]

i think the reason why im so drawn to spirit tracks and pkmn scarvi is that having the legendary/princess as a companion rather than a goal that marks the games completion makes me feel satisfied the way i would after helping a friend

my brother always teases me about how I still havent finished botw after almost 7 years bc "id rather be out picking flowers" which i wont say is untrue. and yes i know Zeldas been holding off ganon for 100 years, yes i can get some sort of idea what her relationship with link was like by recalling memories and going through her diary. ive always loved botw for its unique storytelling and setting which makes it stand out, because it lets you get to know who you're saving.

but because theyre memories, it only works if theres something for the player to investigate that already happened. its retroactive (but effective nonetheless)

on the other hand, spirit tracks does something similar but instead of having the player try to piece together memories and interpret them as a spectator, you actually have an opportunity to get to know zelda yourself by talking to her and working together. besides making it a gameplay mechanic, giving the player control over how they interact with zelda makes it so much more personable.

and I find that making the goal feel personal instead of an obligation gives me more of a reason to work towards it. I know what kind of person botw zelda was but as the player, shes still very much a stranger to me. but spirit tracks zelda? thats my friend!!!! she invited me to go to the beach after we get her body back!!! i dont want to whip her to make her move faster thats mean :(

you know how hostage negotiators are trained to introduce themselves and get to know the person theyre negotiating with because its harder to hurt someone when you know what their favorite food is? its kinda like that, because it feels like im helping a friend than being told or led to do smth

and although i havent played scarvi myself, i feel an attachment to koraidon and miraidon even just watching playthrough clips because its like!! thats my weird scaly dog!! it loves sandwiches and we're friends!!! you know!!!!!!

The Aeon research Welt Yang has on display being open to information on The Permanence is rather quaint considering said Aeon's availability. ❝You could simply ask.❞ Although the voice is Dan Heng's it's lower than his usual tone, and when Welt turns to face him he will be greeted with the bright glow of cyan eyes and a wide smile. ❝If you wish to impart a question do not hold back, child.❞ A hand finds purchase on a hip while the other gestures vaguely in Welt's direction. ❝Speak. I will endeavor to answer your queries.❞ @starlighttrain //Have an ancient dragon :D

He can feel the magnetic change in the air before he notices the shift, hand flicking for the star out of the corners of reality. “What--”  

Oh. Right. Maybe some of the legwork of his research could’ve been avoided in hindsight, but really there were just some things Welt didn’t want to push. It was always hard to know what to expect in these slips. 

"Forgive me—you... admittedly you scared the living daylights out of me.” And maybe there was still a show of worry on his features even as he flicked the cane away in a show of dark matter and starlight. “I didn’t think my extrapolations would’ve been so interesting to have caught your attention. I’m--well, flattered I believe is the word I’m looking for...”
