Here’s my personal recommendation of a YouTube video to check out:

While browsing youtube this morning I saw a video titled "the dragon paradox" by curious archive. Obviously I clicked on it. It's about dragon taxonomy ! This is perfect I have half a plan to make a presentation on this exact subject for a potential powerpoint party.

I wasn't expecting to cry because of how personal the video would actually be and how much I would relate ?? I feel like we had almost the same childhood I was just lucky enough to never really feel alone. Anyway I'm going to binge watch the rest of the channel it's about worldbuilding and speculative biology so right up my alley and I guess this post is also a recommandation ?

At least for the dragon video go check it out it's really nice.

Moldy Worldbuilding, from the great Curious Archive channel. A great essay on the value of rot, rust, decay and collapse as a way to add environmental storytelling indicating the passage of time

This is by far my favorite YouTube channel and this is their first video! This is actually where I got the inspiration for my url ✨

A few creatures from the video;

-Monopod, a creature with one big foot that used said foot to shield itself from the sun

-Bonacon, shits to protect itself lol I think it’s a fart joke

-SeaMonk, a normal fish that looks like a human monk

-Salamander, fireproof lion dragons with human faces
