Will bill or dipper still love the other even if one of them is a immeasurable cosmic eldritch being that is capable of swallowing galaxies with no great effort or maybe an earthworm? :]
Tumblr media
Compared to Bill, Dipper basically already is a worm! (He is beaten with a pillow for this response)
But if Bill asked the question, Dipper tells him that he'll put him on a hook and use him to catch a better merman husband. And Bill is very >:(

Putting this in poll format is me being silly. But I want to state a point that still crops up now and again.
If you feel you are/one of your ‘type is experiencing draconity, whether as a full dragon or just some sort of draconic, you are/it is dragon/draconic.
It does NOT matter if your/its origin is from fiction, from myth, local folklore, or a species you made yourself.
It does NOT matter if you are/it is a european, east asian, wyvern, zilant, yinglong, kirin, turtle dragon, lion dragon, and heck komodo dragon.
It does NOT matter if you are/it is humanoid or straight up portion of you are fully human.
You are/it is a dragon if you feel you are/it is.
(Alternatively, your alterhuman identitype is draconic if you feel it counts)
Some more rambling below
“But Ryuu, what constitude as draconity? Doesn’t it mean big and apex predator? Doesn’t it mean powerful? Doesn’t it mean it has to be winged with four limbs—”
Ok stop, just, stop. It’s like asking “what is human” or every variation of that. I met all sorts of dragon, seen many, and there’s far more example even within media and myth of this world and beyond. Many definitely don’t fit the “big, powerful, apex predator”. Heck, I’m a draconic shapeshifter that becomes hamster sized to potentially bigger than a airship, have no breath weapon, and I don’t even prey on other creature! Don’t even get me started on the wyvern discourse.
There are dragons that are like kami—things that invokes awe or reverence.
There are dragons that are “just a little creechur”.
There are dragons that’s wild and theriant*, some are sophont.
There are dragons big and small, colossal or microscopic, physical or purely incorporeal, made of flesh and bones or goo and light matter.
There are dragons in all sorts of biome, have all sorts of diet (yes, even herbivore), some hoard some don’t.
A box with a slanted nostrial and eyes, squiggly smile line as mouth, and it is definitely something draconic, because it is so.
Dragons with feather, fur, fin, frill, crocodilian, webbed paws, hooves, mechanical parts…
Well, you get the point.
A dragon is a dragon is a dragon. Regardless of the shape they took, the features they have, or whatever box you want to put a dragon in.
If it fit, it will sit. It it doesn’t, it’s still going to sit, and break the box while we are at it.
*thiriant: the opposite of sophont, to be “categorised by instinctual, sensory thinking being more dominant”, by @paracosmic-gt

Taking a quick break from my boop madness to post some art of my gal Lemon! She's a highborn elf who ran away from home after her draconic sorcery manifested, and is being a bit of a chaos agent for the dragon her bloodline is aligned with. She and her pals took down a corrupt local lord and now she's a puppet-governor until their noble benefactor can find a useful replacement! :D

My first attempt at writing that's vaguely like poetry: from a dragon
I am not what you think.
I walk around, awkward limbs and flighty mannerisms, and you think I’m strange. You have no idea how strange you would think I am if you only saw what was underneath.
Underneath, I am a creature of the ocean. Something that could never pass as human, and no longer wants to. Saltwater rushes through my veins in secret, silent to everyone but me. To me, it’s a roaring sound of the waves that I have never seen except for within my soul. It yearns to dissolve into the ocean like it could long ago, but for now those days are over and I am hidden underneath skin and muscle.
Underneath, there are wings; fins; antlers. They ache to tear from my back, through my skull. Nonetheless, they stay hidden for me, safe in the silence. Protected like I protected my kin in a lifetime so close to the surface and yet unreachable. Wrapped in a form that no longer coils around them like a serpent, but keeps them hidden from predators well enough I suppose.
I suppose.
I accept my form reluctantly and do what I can to make it mine. I shape it to feel better when I discover my gender, and when I can’t shape it to fit my true self I cover it in things that feel a little more like home. A little more draconic. A little more like the ocean that I never have seen, but feel homesick for anyway.
I do find joy in being in this body, at least. Out there, there are others. Angels working minimum wage, dragons sitting on a park bench, wolves buying groceries. We hide, but we do so to be free. We walk through crowds, and no one notices our scales and fur and feathers. But we do. We see each other, even if from miles away, and we see what’s underneath.
And underneath, none of us are what you think.

Happy Dracones Monday! The Vishap
Tumblr media
Found in the Armenian highlands, in Armenia, Azerbaijan, Iran and Turkey. Here we see one perched on a vishapakar stone ('dragon stone') in Armenia - these stones are often in the shape of fish or have a carving of some sort of animal sacrifice on them (often a bull), and sometimes they have a mix of fish and bull carvings.
This is just my interpretation of a vishap for Dracones Mundi - I chose to go a little more flamboyant with the design rather than make something that looked like a bull or a fish - especially as it's uncertain whether the carvings on the vishapakar are supposed to represent the dragons physically, or if they are more symbolic of summoning good luck for livestock, fishing or fertility.
I post new dragons for my project every Monday on this blog: @draconesmundi

you cannot convince me, that out of everyone at camp, you could get astarion to be setting up the campfire here. idc if he knows a fire cantrip. if you even asked him to do this, he would laugh in your face. he is not getting his nails dirty just to start a campfire.

Again not a dungeon meshi reader/watcher but every time I hear about that laois guy I get reminded of how my system had/has a hyperfixation on dragons so intense that we got that big fancy dragonology book and we treated it like the damn dragon Bible for like years
Now, obviously, we understand that there's different interpretations on mythical creatures, and no one interpretation on a dragon is necessarily gospel, but that multiple interpretations on the classic tale of beasts of scale and fire are completely valid and to be expected!
however if you call an Eastern dragon a coatl I'm going to come to your house and slaughter your family
#THEY'RE COMPLETELY DIFFERENT#yes they have similarities but coatls have WINGS typically and dont usually have other limbs. they're more serpentine birds#meanwhile Eastern dragons (Chinese depictions for example) don't typically have wings and are more lizard-like#like Mushu !!!!!!!! Mushu is an Eastern dragon#and then there's drakes and wyrms. which are entirely different bc they can't really fly#drakes are more like draconic horses or dogs. no wings but four limbs and a tail with a reptilian appearance#wyrms are more serpentine with no limbs and no wings. though i think some interpretations of wyrms give them like.. two forelimbs#then there's wyverns. wyverns have two legs and two wings instead of the typical eight limbs (four limbs two wings)#(i also perosnally hold true to the interpretation of wyverns with poisonous stingers for tails but that's just me cause i think its cool)#..... how much of this is just me talking abiut dragons#explodes.#oh yeah and obv there's the HTTYD interpretations which i adore! they're interesting#the designs are so fascinating and from what ive seen seem to have some science behind them#and arent just the typical western style of dragons. which nothing wrong with the western style it's a classic ofc#but it's still fun to see some variation!!#and ofc there's WOF#which holds true to Western dragons in simple anatomy but has its own variations and of course its own lore#then there's. fuck i forget the name but it's a fantasy story based in China i believe#i loved it so much it was so cool#anyways it had a dragon character named Seryu. I love Seryu. he my favorite#anyways i liked the interpretation of dragons there bc iirc it held true to ummmmm some Chinese mythology involving dragons#cause Eastern mythology of drahons is . so much diffetent than Western#Western dragons are commonly very monstrous creatures‚ usually very animalistic#they tend to embody the Christian concept of greed/gluttony hence why they're so typically monstrous/villainous#which i find interesting but i wont get into that#meanwhile. i wanna say Eastern dragon legends more revolve around the idea of a dragon as more of a godly/fae-type creature?#that's probably a poor comparison but that's how i interpreted it. agian im probahly wronf about all of this#im some weirdo rambling about dragons on the internet. dont trust me explicitly#i need to get more dragon mythology books#HELP I REACHED THE TAG LIMIT I DIDNT THINK THAT WAS POSSIBLE GOOD LORD OKAY I'LL SHUT UP NOW

Since there's more than one around, is there a specific Tree Sentinel you love? Or do you consider them to be the same person in different locations?
THATS A GREAT QUESTION!! I never really thoight about it too hard but if I had to pick one I would say the Limgrave one right after you exit the tutorial!
I do also consider the two near the city (specifically the shield one) to still be the same Tree Sentinel in a way?
like that's still my beloved.. even tho I did kill him and take his halberd!
idk never thought about it too hard but they are in a level all the same? since they are all one enemy that also gets placed somewhere else if that makes sense?

Seeing a dragon refer to their young as “fledgeling” is so—*shivers* euphoric.
