Dragonkin tip:

EAT SPICY FOOD!! It can feel a bit like breathing fire!! I'm sure someone else has talked about this before but I haven't seen it on any advice posts-

Nipping something at the bud

I realized that some individuals may question how I know the draconic language if I have never met any other dragons. This is because all dragons have linguistic instincts. I am slowly learning the draconic language simply by being a dragon. I hope this clears it up for anyone curious.

The draconic word for dragon is ka-te by the way. Still working on my orthography, we'll see if that's spell the same at the end. The wretched scientists wanted to spell it kate, and then I got called Kate, like the stinky human name. It was awful.

Arthur woke to Merlin thrashing, convulsing through some sort of night terror. He held Merlin close, and tried to keep him from injuring himself through the spasms, but he was entirely uncertain whether that was even the right thing to do.

He noticed, as the minutes went on, that Merlin had been getting increasingly warmer. With growing terror he realized that Merlin was incredibly hot, burning up as if the dreams themselves were causing some sort of incredible magical fever. Arthur couldn't remember the last time he’d felt so powerless. It was a relief then, if a surprise, when Morgana knocked on their door and entered as soon as Arthur was able to stammer some sort of assent.

Morgana walked in, with a confidence and certainty of action Arthur couldn't remember ever seeing in her before. The room seemed to drop in temperature as she crossed in, and, in moments, she brought a hand to Merlin’s chest and one to his face. Arthur could feel the cold radiating off her. Merlin’s temperature crashed drastically as he woke with a start to the cold shock that rippled through from the point of Morgana's contact, and he breathed in sharp and deep like a man just saved from drowning.

“More like the pyre…” Morgana said, responding to the thought Arthur had never voiced.

Merlin panted as he assessed the situation, assessed the room around him, came back to reality, blue eyes betraying an equal measure of absolute understanding and complete bafflement that Arthur could only hope would be promptly explained

Hello!

I'm Opal, he/they/wyrm/shriek. I am a headmate in a mixed origins gateway system (our system blog: @the-hadal-zone-sys ), but this is my personal sideblog for all of my dragonposting needs!

I am a dragon in-headspace, and consider myself dragonkin/draconic!

I am a gigantic, long, white dragon, with four legs and two wings. My tail naturally curls like a spiral. I have icy blue eyes, and my horns, wings, and tail are decorated with silver and blue jewelry. When I breathe fire, it's more like a concentrated beam of light, hot enough to melt through steel.

This blog will mainly be for otherkin/alterhuman stuff! And just. Dragons. Because dragons are cool. I may be biased.

DNI below cut!

DNI:

Basic DNI, antikin (obviously), anti-nontraumagenic systems, fakeclaimers, exclusionists, "radqueers."

We're kff neutral so long as you're respectful of otherkin folks and acknowledge the difference.

Happy Dracones Monday, Nagaraja!

Hello! Happy Dracones Monday, today's dragon is the nagaraja, a large serpentine dragon with a 'crown' of horns on it's head, found throughout South Asia in large rivers!

The two pictured above are Ganges naga, a subspecies found in India specicaly. The males have 'cobra' hoods, and they use these to carry their young - a high quality male has a larger hood and can be a good father to more offspring. The way he carries his young is often depicted as a 'many headed dragon' - a lot of dragons in Dracones Mundi carry offspring on their backs, which is how 'hydra' or 'multi headed dragon' myths arise.

For more information on my dragon project, where I design dragons based on world mythology, follow @draconesmundi ! I try to post a new dragon design every Monday (a 'dracones monday') - I've been on hiatus for a month-and-a-bit but I plan on being more active in Smaugust!

do you have any thoughts on zelda not staying as a dragon? me personally I like it and am very cool with it mostly because I think zelda should get to be happy forever (and because I'm smart enough to know she changed back because of recall and not some ambiguous power of love lmao) but a lot of people seem to dislike that it made the draconification inconsequential?

i think there's like. some valid concerns surrounding inconsequentiality/"curing" the physical problems characters have as a way of giving them a "happy ending" but I think those concerns don't necessarily apply to totk in the way people seem to be applying them, especially irt zelda's draconification and link's arm.

most of the time when the criticism of this "magic cure" trope is applied to media, it's because the trope is used as a cure-all to erase a character's suffering or trauma and make them "normal" again, and often ignores the character development or themes of the story in favor of giving the character a happy ending. I don't think that applies to totk, though, because the "curing" link and zelda experience is both within the realm of possibility given the worldbuilding present in the game (recall could easily have done it, as you mentioned) AND thematically consistent with the rest of the game. One of if not the most important central themes of totk is the idea of failure and second chances. we see a hyrule that has been given a second chance after link's initial failure with the calamity brought it to the brink of destruction. we see characters who were deeply unhappy and entrenched in the shame of their precalamity mistakes like purah and zelda become active, beloved members of their communities. we see the people of lurelin village take back and rebuild their destroyed home. we watch this kingdom and its people make an unprecedented comeback after a century of struggle and ruin.

Similarly, totk's gameplay is LINK's second chance, his comeback from the initial mistake of losing zelda, of specifically being unable to reach her with his injured hand when they fell. The consequences of that--the master sword's corruption, the loss of his arm, and zelda's draconification, are all supposed to SEEM irreversible, because that's how LINK initially sees them. he believes that he doomed both himself and zelda all because of that SINGLE moment in which he wasn't enough, a viewpoint which is obviously left over from the pressure he experienced to perform to an impossible standard of perfection pre-calamity. The story of totk is about deconstructing that belief and proving it wrong. the mistake he made caused harm, but it's never too late to repair things. he can fix the regional phenomena ganondorf causes and rebuild those communities. he can revitalize the master sword. he can GET ZELDA BACK, with his own arm, uninjured and able to reach her this time. no matter how impossible those things may initially seem, no matter the perceived finality of his mistakes and their consequences, there is always hope. there is always a second chance. no one person's single mistake can doom an entire kingdom for eternity. the fate of hyrule was NEVER resting on link's shoulders alone. he was never their final hope. there was always going to be an after. the whole POINT of the draconification and the loss of link's arm is that they AREN'T final. they ARE inconsequential, because they were born of one mistake and ONE MISTAKE IS NOT THE END ALL.
