#One of my better years for NotN i'd say

[meat-fr]

My notable hatches for NotN 2024

Pretty nice bunch this year! I feel like ontop of the double i hatched, i also got a bunch of near miss doubles as well.

also apparently i must like dusthides even more than i realized asdfgh whoops

[bug-crimes]

I don't think we actually share many fandoms, so I'm gonna go with one I know we definitely do but might be a little tricky to answer for, so sorry about that...

The Arcanist

I don't mind at all!! he's a fun one :D Ty for the ask tsari~ 💜 also keep in mind I have not read majority of the official lore and also don't adhere to canon At All so all my opinions will be incorrect and this is neat of me <3 /lh

First Impression:

honestly I... don't remember for sureeee? three years feels like forever, but I do remember thinkin he was just a funky lil magic man and that he looked Cool jsjcj I think I honestly focused more on flight aesthetic than dad aesthetic for a long time?

Impression Now:

HE IS A MESS,

just a lil skrunkly scrimbo with too much power and the type of guy that can do math off the top of his head and tell u the exact distance to a star but keeps forgetting how to brew his own coffee

12/10 neurodivergent rep, a little bit of a mess of a dad but he cares a Lot and does his Best and we love him for it

I am so incredibly fond of spacedad in the way where u point at a character and go stinky <3 I love u

Favourite Moment:

Probably when he destroyed the world a few times or something idk that's pretty cool of him (I don't know what actually happened I've just gotten that question so many times in tomo that I know it's a thing he did lol)

Idea For A Story:

I can never get enough of stardad + exaltees drabbles!! I think it's so fun when ppl write about exalted dragons working under stardad and a story that's just a compilation of all the horror stories about the messes he causes would be very fun and silly I think :3

Unpopular Opinion: I think he should be So Tiny. Smaller than faes tiny. can put in ur pocket tiny. might accidentally squish him tiny. he Deserves It he's so bug energy

disclaimer: I don't actually know how unpopular this is but I'm pretty sure it's incorrect at least so I'm counting it

Favourite relationship:

i feel like I'd be betraying my own lore if I didn't say the arcanist and stormcatcher sjcjnsx

I don't ship any of the deities romantically, but I love the clash between their ideals and aesthetics and I'm obsessed with magic science lore it's just mwah, chefs kiss, I would pay so many dragon money to see the arcane Vs lightning flight lore develop more

Favourite Headcanon:

this is a hard one bc I love so many of the things ppl come up with!! but I think of my own Personal Headcanons, it's that his form shifts with changes in the magic in Sorneith. if one of his wings is particularly transparent and skrunkly one day? oop, looks like lightning is sapping magical energy again! he suddenly has manifested a flower clown? ah, greenskeeper gathering must be right around the corner. notn? you better believe he's some eldritch monstrosity of the shade (and won't stop getting shade goop all over his notes, it's quite annoying) he's just a funky lil magic guy !! and I love him !!
