WIP tag game

Thank you for tagging me @myokk @theladyofshalott1989 @rypnami @dom1re

Alright, so I have a few…

Caira Elixus from my Draconic Dystopia project

My current chainmail belt projects

A bit of next week's chapter and the sketch from earlier in that chapter

My sewing repairs pile and my next projects: replacing a bad wasteband little Lottie did and up cycling a dress I thrifted.

This tag game was a few days ago and I'm too tired to figure out who hasn't been tagged. If you haven't yet, do it! I wanna see it!

Also, here's a picture of my sister's kittens that we were watching.

Prison revolt at the Morton prison - part 1

Morton is a prison in the Nevada desert. In the prison system of the Federal Republic of Dystopia it's on grade 5 of the 7 grade security scheme - ranking from grade 1 "Low security" to grade 7 "Super Max security". In 2098 a huge prison revolt happened and lasted for 3 weeks with several guards wounded and 3 guards dead. The revolt was planned, organized and started by the "Honourable Council of the Ten". This self-styled council saw themself as leaders of the inmates. This council was part of a trial of inmate self-administration and was introduced in some pilot prisons of grade 1 to 5 prisons. Within the legislation it was called "Help council" and was planned to be an elected body of 10 inmates. It quickly switched to be an instrument of criminals to control other inmates and use ressources to continue criminal activities. In most prisons it was renamed by the inmates - inofficially - and never elected freely. It was abolished after the Morton prison revolt.

All participants of this riot will be charged - all 904 inmates of the cellblocks that participated in the riots are counted as participants - under the Prison Mutiny Law (PML) that sets draconic measures.

In this first part we look at the 10 members of the former council who were the ringleaders. Under the PML the ringleaders are charged for the murders committed in a revolt or mutiny regardless wether they did the murder(s) or someone else.

They were split into 5 groups and sent to different places in the Federal Republic of Dystopia to reduce their influence.

Giorgio (28, left) and Vittorio (30, right) Marconi are brothers and grew up in a crime family. Their father, uncle and the two brothers were accused several times for drug trafficking but acquitted each time. They were sentenced two years ago for the brutal beating of two police officers. They were sentenced to 31 years prison sentence each. Three months before the revolt, new evidences emerged about their connections to drug trafficking, human trafficking and murder of two witnesses in a case against their father. They saw the revolt as their last opportunity to be in freedom. It was quite sure that the new evidence would send them right into a life sentence in a grade 7 prison, most likely in solitary confinement.

Their new sentence is: 5 life sentences, 90 years, 12 strokes of the cane after this trial and every second year 10 strokes of the cane until they turn 60. They'll spend the rest of their lives shackled in solitary confinement in a grade 7 prison.

Eric Mosley (24, left) and Damian Hintz (23, right) are both bisexual and fell in love in prison. They were molested and tortured by homophobic guards after one guard saw them having sex and instigated his colleagues to mistreat the couple. They killed that guard while the revolt was running. Mosley was at Morton for six months when the revolt broke out. He was sentenced to 9 years for an armed robbery with possibility of parole after 7 years. Damian Hintz was sentenced to 13 years of prison for manipulating ATMs, gambling machines and hacking into computers. He was a mastermind and made for his bosses more than 11 million $. They promised him 10%. He never saw a penny. He was offered to snitch his bosses to see his sentence reduced to 3 years under house arrest but he refused as the bosses threatened his wife, his parents and his young sister. He was 21 as he was arrested.

Mosley and Hintz got three life sentences in addition to their former sentences. They'll spend the rest of their lives shackled in a double cell in a grade 7 prison. They'll get 8 strokes of the cane each after the trial and 4 strokes every second year until they turn 60.

In the aftermath of their trial 7 former guards of the Morton prison will be tried for molesting and torturing inmates.

Ciro Vallanzasca (34, left) and Marvin Colb (25, right) will be the two lucky guys of the ringleaders. Ciro is the nephew of a senator of the Federal Republic of Dystopia and Marvin is his assistant. Ciro had a long criminal career but avoided prison until he turned 32. He was sentenced to 7 years for money laundering. He was transferred to Morton prison after he beat his cellmate on his second day after his sentence. Marvin Colb was sentenced 5 years ago for drugging other people - men and women - and selling their explicit pictures on porn sites or blackmailing them. He was nearly killed by one of his victims what led to his arrest and trial. He turned assistant of Ciro Vallanzasca a short time after they became cellmates. The remainder of his prison term was just 1 year. Both guys were against the revolt and expelled for that from the council a few days before the revolt. At the court they told everything about the council decisions and about the plannings. At the end they were acquitted from the murders of the three guards but had to face another harsh punishment for prison mutinies.

They were sentenced each to 5 additional years for enabling conspiracy and mutiny (instead of telling the guards beforehand). In addition they'll receive 5 strokes of cane each and additional 4 strokes six months before their planned release. They'll get a mandatory vasectomy as ringleaders of mutinies as these people are barred from reproducing (along with some other crimes). It will be a so-called "ultra vasectomy" removing large parts of the vas deferens to make a reversal operation impossible. They'll spend the next five years shackled in a grade 7 prison together in one cell. After these five years they go into a grade 4 prison where a cousin of the Marconis cut the word "traitor" into their faces.

Timothey "Red Timmy" Claus (30, left) and Marlon Estrada (32, right) are communist activist who planned a terrorist attack on an economic meeting three years ago. That plan was foiled but they were sentenced to 60 years in prison each. At the beginning of the revolt they beat two guards nearly to death.

They got an additional sentence of four life sentences, 12 strokes of the cane after the trial and 10 strokes each year until they turn 60. They'll spend the rest of their lives shackled in total solitary confinement of a grade 7 prison. These two convinced the other members of the council to start the revolt. They planned a huge prison break out and were in hope that all prisoner support their communist ideas. Claus and Estrada have three weapon arsenals that remained undiscovered and they wanted to infiltrate army posts with their fellow inmates. Claus styled himself as general secretary of the council and Estrada styled himself as president of the council despite these titles didn't exist. On the way to the prison Claus and Estrada tried to kill a guard in the prisoner transport van in the hope to get killed to avoid their life sentences. But that didn't work. Both tried to go on hunger strikes but were force fed and started eating after few days of force feeding. They lived until their 70s in prison.

Steve Lee (19, left) and Kevin Calvert (25, right) are the last two of the ringleaders to be sentenced. Steve Lee split from his religious family at the age of 15 and began his short criminal career. He sold drugs and convinced friends to take drugs while being abstinent. He loved to make videos of people who got the drugs from him. At the age of 16 he stole a car as cops chased him. With that car he injured two guys. Despite his criminal behavuiour he stopped and tried to help the two injured. So he was arrested. He was sentenced for drug selling, for the car theft and for the accident. His sentence was 15 years in prison with possible parole after 12 years. Because of his calculating nature he was sentenced as an adult and transferred immediately to the adult prison. He gained huge respect in prison quickly and forced another inmate to retire from his post in the council.

Kevin Calvert worked together with two cops to set up a trap for a group of four pedophiles. He killed all four by torturing them to death. He was sentenced to life in prison. He was called up into the council on the first day at Morton prison.

Both guys were sentenced to additional three life sentences and 7 strokes of the cane after sentence and 4 strokes every year until they turn 60. They were set to spend the rest of their lives shackled in solitary confinement in a grade 7 prison. But Steve Lee was offered to take part in a "harvesting program". This was set up to get blood donations. Inmates in this program get special food and a fitness program. This treatment makes it possible to recreate blood quicker - and donate more often. Inmates of the harvesting program are released at the age of 35 into a 5 year probation period. After 4 years of solitary confinement Kevin Calvert was sent to a grade 3 prison. At the age of 35 he got sterilized and pardoned next day. He lived a good life later as he got donations from several groups fighting pedophilia.

The Starcrossed Cycle: Media Influences

Got inspired by the meta dump @byjillianmaria did (which you can find over here), and wanted to do one for the Starcrossed Cycle!

(I go into more depth about how they influenced me below the cut, because I love getting in the weeds with this shit!)

Borderlands & Sunset Overdrive - A neon, hyperpop veneer over top a dystopia caused by corporate greed, these were the main inspirations for the world that Iradurel grew up in

Saints Row & Borderlands - Violent settings with little to no regard for the sanctity of life, these were inspirations for the life that Iradurel led before being put on ice

The Addams Family - A family that stands in direct opposition to the norms of their society, they were a big inspiration for Iradurel's parentage, the Kortellako family

Panty and Stocking with Garter Belt & Saints Row - Panty from PaSwGB and the Boss from SR were big inspirations for Iradurel's character

God Eater & RWBY & Horizon - Settings where monsters with no end plague the world were something that really tickled my pickle, so I made up my own with the Opiri

Dragon Age & God Eater - If there's going to be monsters, then there are going to need to be monster hunters to fight them. May as well give them powers to do so, but watch out! Those powers have a price! These two are the biggest influences on the Opiri Slayers

RWBY - And if you have monster hunters, then you need a place to show them the ropes, and this was the series that inspired me to make a dedicated school for the Opiri Slayers

Critical Role & Dimension 20 (specifically Fantasy High) - I really enjoy the differing takes on what Gods are in these two: either outside forces that have come to the world of their choice and shape it according to their whims (CR) or endemic to the world but shaped by their followers (FH)

Eternal Darkness: Sanity's Requiem & Babylon 5 & Mass Effect & Critical Role - Eldritch horrors causing problems for mortals that they view as little more than ants, another inspo for how deities work in this setting

Babylon 5 & the Legend of Zelda - A repeating cycle of conflict perpetuated by a single malevolent force is something that really gets my motor revving, so I yoinked that for Marenkes' history

Sailor Moon & the Legend of Zelda - The reincarnation aspect from these to tie into the cyclical aspect of the above bullet point was just a natural fit. I gotta have that miracle romance!

Dragon Riders of Pern - The concept of dragon riders is sick as hell, and ones that are psychically bonded to their mounts? Fuckin' awesome, my dudes! Everything else that McCaffrey thought was necessary to add to that equation? Big Yikes! But my desire to have the draconic Eidolons does stem from this series

Assassin's Creed & Final Fantasy XIII & Tales of Symphonia - Settings where the world is older than anyone realizes, and problems from the past (caused by a group of individuals with godlike abilities) are coming to bite the present in the ass were concepts that really excited me! Bonus points to ToS for inspiring a pretty big piece of the physical world of Marenkes!

Mass Effect & Horizon - Ryla is very much in the vein of a Commander Shepard (doing a full Paragon run, naturally) and Aloy type person

Dragon Age & Mass Effect - People being able to use magic because of a natural element in the world is definitely inspired by DA's lyrium and how biotics can use their abilities thanks to eezo from ME

Horizon & Assassin's Creed - The modern world is built on the bones of a far more technologically advanced society that was completely wiped out due to hubris preventing a solution being thought up to a preventable situation, that's the kind of juiciness I wanted for my setting!

Mass Effect & Eternal Darkness & Babylon 5 - The path to victory has been paved with so many sacrificed lives, but it is only thanks to those sacrifices that success will be possible. I fucking LOVE plots like this!

Dystopia made in Germany - damn yeah!

Finally came around to watch «Paradise» on Netflix, a dystopia with a somewhat similar concept as Time’s Out, in that poor people can spend years of their life time in exchange for money, and rich people gain life time in exchange for money.

German actor Kostja Ullmann plays the main character, who works as a salesman for the time exchange company Aeon, but finds himself on the other side as his wife is forced to "donate" fourty years of her life.

First of all: Americans will never understand just how exciting and in a sense freeing it is to see their country represented in genre media. This is, without joking, the first dystopian movie I ever saw that took place in Germany. It is such a cool feeling to see this futuristic city, but the signs are in German, not English. It is somehow a completely different kind of immersion.

(And remember, Germany is still part of the global west and an industrial nation, for people from the global south this must be even much much worse)

Also, I was somewhat worried for the upcoming Uglies movie (=relatively old Young Adult Dystopia about a seemingly Utopian world in which differences between all humans are obliterated by a mandatory beauty surgery) if Netflix could pull off the CGI and practical effects for this utterly futuristic world, and judging by this movie, they luckily could. The buildings look real, the interior design looks real. It is, to be honest, not quite as far as it would need to be for Uglies, but it works.

IMO it takes the allegory of how capitalism quite literally steals lifetime from the poor a bit further than Time’s Out, as here this procedure isn’t mandatory in most cases, but poor people still do it, because that just is how the fucked up capitalist system forces them to do.

Some of the names are a bit corny, like “Adam” for the resistance group, or “Lazarus” for the secret cemetery, but damn, I absolutely love the leader of the resistance movement being called Lillith.

It is only relatively understated, but I do like that this movie dares to go into criticizing how Europe, especially Europes borders, treat refugees. Europeans always have this air of being the most moral and just, and I consider myself guilty of that too, sometimes – but we’re not. Absolutely not.

I like the music though. Dark electronic tunes, mixed with more contemporary pop or rock occasionally. It is not outstanding, but it is good and it underlines the emotions and themes.

Spoilers under the cut:

I really love that the main characters wife, upon feeling on her own body just how draconic this “donation” process is, refuses to force someone else to experience this, even if it’s a rich person who took the donations dozenths of time already, and only complies because there are no other possibilities.

The boss henchwoman of Aeon (haven’t caught her name) has such an amazing charisma and totally commands every scene she is in. Doesn’t help that she also has a fairly unique face. I really hope for her that she gets big; that she becomes Germanys next big action heroine or something.

The short scenery with the wind turbines and the sea and the ship, wow. That looked so futuristic and alien totally set the scenes. The atmosphere of that!

The conflict with the young women they captured possibly being the CEOs daughter instead of the CEO herself is quite the interesting idea. No matter how it will end up, what will be true, it definitely is an good story choice.

Ooh, and now the dystopian resistance movement enters the scene. I love how the no nonsense scarred resistance leader is a woman here. A white woman, and its pretty, thin line scars, but still.

I love how claustrophobic and chaotic the scene with the main character trying to navigate through the battle Aeon vs rebels is. Other than him not getting seriously injured it feels very realistic and raw.

The music of the escape scene gave me goosebumps. There is just something so raw and eerie and sad and loss of innocence about it.

The moment of violence between the CEOs daughter after she tries to blackmail the main character and Helena, and Helena was refreshing in a way. Can’t even fully say why, but I guess its because in most movies, eruptions of brutality between previously peaceful characters only happen between two men.

Didn’t expect that Helena would loose her morality and panic in the end. Not quite sure if I believe it yet.

Damn yeah the moment where the cool henchwoman (Kaya) finally grows some morals and leaves!

At the end, and now I can definitely say that I don’t like the twist with Helena. Especially for the sake of a pregnancy of all things. Might just be happily childfree queer me, but I think I will never understand how people are willing to risk absolutely everything for that. It is also pretty gross to say a woman wishes that so much that she looses her morality.

But I do like that this has an unhappy end, like Fahrenheit 451 or Brave New World, and the fight of the normal people against cooperations seems almost impossible, but yet they still have to try, because it’s the moral thing to do

special shoutout to my lovely friend over at @bbbearwin for the inspiration to start an oc/rp blog and also borrowed format idea i love youuu

[1greenameba]

This but in the whole of fiction and just everywhere !

Like i heard pepole in r/worldbuilding tell me "nobody cares about nature" when i told them to take inspiration from the real world because there where genuinely really weird stuff in there , and some months later i left because it turned into a circlejerking copying machine of dystopias and fantasy races that all basically worked in the same way ...

But yeah there are many plants practices and animals that are deeply weird and could be amped up to make some intresting fantasy things :

Take the dynamite tree : wich has explosive fruits and a toxic sap , and could peraps work as a defender of the forest , being undistinguishiable from a regular tree to the untrained eye but readily flinging it's granade like fruits towards any lumber trying to harvest wood , and spraying them with toxic corrosive sap as soon as they cut into it's bark , these trees being present would change how nature and trees are percived : from stoic and passive entities to almost draconic beings who are not to be trifled with ...

It would make lumberjacking a really high skill profession and wood a precius commodity that may get replaced with bone ...

And the post i made talking about the dynamite tree and fire ecology had a recurring joke "trees are dicks" because among plants trees are specialized for interspecific competition with other plants and animals ,

A tree needs a lot of nutrients to survive and to do so it will strangle saplings with it's roots , shade them , clog the mandibles of insects that are trying to eat it and make fruits irregularly to starve out animals that could rely on them ...

Then we enter conifers that will straight up make fires more likely to weed out competition ...

Seeing trees as plant war machines instead of peaceful ents can really shake up the way in wich you write about ecosystems ,

It also makes the lack of large animals in rainforest check out with this : these small animals are effectively living on the back of a dragon kinda like how barnacles and all other small artropods live on whales and on your skin right now ...

Also these pepole greatly under estimate human adaptability and resourcefulness when it comes to living in hard enviorments wich is why they'll always give them uber advanced technology and forget to say what they eat , besides cousine naturally , wich is treated less as the basis of the economy and more as another cool thing pepole do ...

I'd also make a shoutout to a thing i found to be intresting : there are some tribes of australian aborigenese who will perform the so called "bone pointing curse"

In wich they'll point a pointed bone towards their opponent , and afther the victim saw the curse in question would react strogly ,

And stop eating and drinking because it got cursed , eventually dying due to dehydration ...

This is effectively no different from the middle finger , wich will cause rage and anger despite not doing any damage in particular , but just because the sign is offensive ...

Similarly : bone pointing is fatal because the sign is fatal , and it leads to suicidality , it's a very strong placebo effect for those who belive it ...

So really , death curses don't require magic to work , just strong emotions ...

And to pepole who grew up in superstitius cultures these are oodly relatable and belivable really ...

All and all it seems those worlds are made as a kind of ritual : a fantasy world needs races and hard magic ...

And a sci fi world demands a dystopian governament and guns being the most intresting part of the thing ...

All and all this is sadly the state of our narratives about other worlds ...

I think the main thing that's annoying to me in concepts for minecraft updates and in mods is like. Nature things that are more based in tropes from media than the actual natural world

Some conventions that are common in video games re: plants and animals make me so irrationally angry. it's like "no one involved in creating this was even marginally interested in the fact that it represents a real thing that is outside"

[m0thisonfire]

It’s a funny story. A long, funny story.

A disgraced prince, Devanii Hellfrost, the pinnacle of his Draconic species, gifted Immortalis and the strength of ten thousand stars by the universe itself. From a young age celebrated and expected to be the best of his kind. Left to rot by the very people he fought for. He had always knew deep down he was a glorified tool…

A tired High Elf archivist, Sybil Jorthar, chasing the old ghost of a broken prophecy accompanied by an annoying exiled dragon who insists he can help. Yes, he’s helpful, but a headache at best. Something is oddly familiar though… hasn’t he seen that scar before..?

And a strange creature. Watcher, they call themself. An odd spectacle, masked by secrecy, manipulation, and a magic yet to be documented, finding amusement in the duo’s quest. They mean no harm. To those who don’t deserve it… yet.

And with steampunk, portal tech, and a cyberpunk dystopia as corrupted as their world?

This story… just became a whole lot more interesting…

This is a story I’ve had since I was thirteen.

Let that sink in.

This. These are characters, this is an arc, that I’ve had in the making… for 5 whole years.

I’ve never thought I’d be posting about them, so now introducing my story:

End.

(Yeah that’s it. That’s what it’s called.)

Expect scattered posts about them. Maybe lore, maybe not. It’s gonna be fun though.

For me…

[unbridledartist]

The OC list

Not Necessarily in order of my most well loved characters:

Zero!

This boy is my arcane trickster that just wants to be a wizard! He really doesn’t like the rain and his reversible clothes to make thieving easier~

Attien!

Funky elf boy of questionable ethics. As I have said before he is a mage, he practices necromancy to a probably very unhealthy degree. His familiar is a snake called Iris. He has no practical skills unless it is done with magic. Extremely over-dramatic.

Zachary is a Mage trying to not be a mage and failing

He is a character I have created for my fiction Of Blood and Bodies, that takes place in the Dragon Age universe! @livjnoodles​ drew him for me~ <3

He is a mess and a mage and trying really hard not to get attached to people for a lot of reasons. I am sorry this is super vague. He is scared of horses and spiders though! He also kinda works as a mercenary and odd job doer extraordinaire.

Art by liv!

Story found here

Chi

I have had this character for years, since grade 9, I think, and that would have made me 13-14 and I am 26 turning 27 at the time of making this post, how fun. She has gone threw a lot of changes since then. 

Roman Blackwall

MY NERD AND HOW I MET LIV! He loves books, was a half vampire and had a Thrush familiar that could shape change into a deep gnome, named Carrion. Roman was the only true neutral person in the party and it led to some interesting occasions of “why are you doing that?!” because murder hobos.

Bonus @livjnoodles​ Drawing of him~

Del

My first ever d&d character who will forever hold a special place in my heart. He was a draconic sorcerer~

I do not have any art of him, i never really drew him...

Corlin Tyrell

I love my little lord boy! He is a teenage mess though soooo fun times. He is for a game of thrones game that I tentatively play right now because of Anxiety. Liv drew him for me though~ <3

Art again by liv~

Gabriel Rossi

My dude is for a story that was written back in my first year off college because I was stressed AF and needed an outlet. He is for the KHR story and i am proud to say I am re-writing this story ^.^ Story found here

Also Zachary but not the Mage

This guy is for a game called Cosmic Patrol XD gosh it's fun to play. Very loose, very silly. He is a tech guru and made a super computer at 8 and a ship engine to go with it!

Larp Characters because these count:

Coal AKA Birds

This was a character that I played in larp called Dystopia Rising for a while before it became too expensive to go. He was my big soft boy that could eat people and did in fact eat eyeballs on more than one occasion. Also organized tea times while at games with him it was fun.

Doctor Maxwell

Also for Dystopia Rising, I was finding Birds to be to warm *his costume required full skin coverage* So I started to play this strapping man. He is technically a sentient undead. >.> but also a MD doctor!

I have also had characters for Vampire the Masquerade and Werewolf the Apocalypse! I do not remember their names…

The old but maybe i should go back to:

Jessie

Back in the day I watched naruto…. She exists and needs a new name and stuff because let's be honest this is weeb trash. I do however still like her character design.

Other OC’s that exist but I have no real attachment to anymore:

Grimselit

A golem that is also a mime

Immeral

My former drow bard. He was a cause of a lot of anxiety so I stopped playing him. Not a fun time. Though in the time that I did play him I did learn a lot about Fake It Till You Make It. Though Immeral as a character is horrible.

No art for him

Sanya Alexieve

A pathfinder monk that i can’t even remember what he was for. He was a snake man of some kind

nadda no art

Imal

A ifrit fire dancer! He was fun to play and had a really cool tattoo

The four types of dragon-like creatures known to the Greeks were the Dracones, Cetea, Chimaera and Dracaenae. The first of these occur in both myth and legend the word "legend" meaning the ancients believed such creatures inhabited the far corners of the earth in historical times. 

DIFFERENT TYPES OF MYTHICAL DRAGONS 

The first type of Greek dragon was the Dracon whose name was derived from the Greek words "drakein" and "derkomai" meaning "to see clearly" or "gaze sharply." It was essentially just a giant serpent which was sometimes equipped with rows of sharp teeth, deadly poison or multiple heads. In myth the beast usually guarded a sacred spring, grove or golden treasure. Our own word "dragon" derives from the creature's name.

COLCHIAN DRACON(Drakon Kholkikos) An unsleeping dragon which guarded the Golden Fleece in the sacred grove of Ares at Colchis. The creature was bewitched by Medea so that the hero Jason could steal its treasure.

CYCHREIDES (Kykhreides) A dragon which terrorized the island of Salamis. It driven out by the hero Cychreus and fled to Eleusis where it became an attendant of the goddess Demeter.

DEMETER'S DRACONES A pair of winged dragons which drew the chariot of goddess Demeter. She gave them to the hero Triptolemos to carry him across the world spreading knowledge of agriculture.

GIGANTOMACHIAN DRACON (Drakon Gigantomakhios) A dragon which was cast at the goddess Athena during the Giant War. She caught it up and threw it into the sky where it formed the constellation Draco.

HESPERIAN DRACON (Drakon Hesperios) A hundred-headed dragon which guarded the golden apples of the Hesperides. It was slain by Heracles when he came to fetch the treasure as one of his Twelve Labors.

HYDRA A nine headed water-dragon which guarded the springs of Lerna. It possessed the power of regeneration, producing two new heads for each that was decapitated. The creature was eventually destroyed by Heracles who cauterized its neck stumps with a flaming torch.

ISMENIAN DRACON (Drakon Ismenios) A dragon which guarded the sacred spring of Ares near Thebes. It was slain by the hero Cadmus who sowed its teeth in the earth to reap a crop of earth-born warriors.

MAEONIAN DRACON  (Drakon Maionios) A dragon which ravaged the kingdom of Lydia. It was slain by Heracles when he was in the service of Queen Omphale.

MAEONIAN DRACON ((Drakon Maionios) A monstrous dragon which terrorized the kingdom of Lydia. It was slain by the giant Damasen.

MEDEA'S DRACONES Two flying dragons born from the blood of the vanquished Titans. They were yoked to draw the chariot of the witch Medea.

NEMEAN DRACON (Drakon Nemeios) A giant dragon or serpent which guarded the sacred groves of Zeus at Nemea. It was destroyed by the warriors of the Seven Against Thebes after devouring the infant Opheltes, son of a local king.

OPHIOGENEAN DRACON(Drakon Ophiogeneikos) A dragon which guarded the sacred grove of the goddess Artemis in Mysia. It mated with the maiden Halia, producing a son named Ophiogeneis, ancestor of the Ophiogenes tribe.

PITANIAN DRACON (Drakon Pitanios) A dragon of Pitane in Aeolia (Asia Minor) which was turned to stone by the gods.

PYTHON A monstrous dragon which was set by Gaea to guard the oracle of Delphi. It was destroyed by the god Apollo when he seized the shrine.

RHODIAN DRACONES(Drakones Rhodioi) Giant serpents and dragons which ravaged the island of Rhodes. They were destroyed by the hero Phorbas.

THESPIAN DRACON (Drakon Thespiakos) A dragon which plagued the Boeotian town of Thespaie. It was slain by the hero Menestratus, who threw himself into the creatures maw wrapped in spiked armour.

TROJAN DRACONES (Drakones Troiades) A pair of dragons sent by the god Poseidon to destroy Laocoon of Troy and his sons when he attempted to warn his people of the threat posed by the Wooden Horse.

This is list of the creatures that stuck out the most to me and their stories where the most interesting however, I want to focus my attention most to the Ophiogenean Dracon as it was the dragon that was a guard of the goddess Artemis who relates to my concept and ideas because she is said to be the goddess of the hunt and this ties in with my dystopian concept. This dragon was not necessarily a very important dragon in greek history but it was the one that sparked the most ideas for me as he was a guard and a pet in some ways. Because it is not the significant there wasn’t really much to research on him but I really liked the idea of using a Dragon that was related to my chosen goddess to focus on. 

The city Parion (Parium) is situated on the sea. Here is told the mythical story that the Ophiogeneis are similar to the serpent tribe and they say that the males of the Ophiogeneis cure snake-bitten people by continuous stroking, after the manner of enchanters, first transferring the livid colour to their own bodies and then stopping both the inflammation and the pain. According to the myth, the original founder of the tribe, a certain hero, changed from a serpent (ophis) into a man. 

Halia (Sea Brine), the daughter of Sybaris, was entering a grove of Artemis, the grove was in Phrygia, when a divine Drakon (Dragon-Serpent) appeared to her and it was said to be of immense size and lay with her. And from this union sprang the Ophiogeneis (Snake-born) of the first generation.

Throughout Greek Mythology the idea of creatures being born from different gods and goddesses is a running thing that appears in lots of the myths and legends. I find this really interesting because it really shows the mythical side of the stories and its something thats completely impossible but people really believed in these myth and legends. Also sometimes its like from good comes evil and from evil comes good which relates completely to my idea of utopia and dystopia being linked in a way.

Aww, thank you, have some old art!

[nvelworlds]

worlds/universes/whatever

figure i should start this off with something more general, so here's the list (roughly) of the universes i have and some of their influences

tohull (working title, universe/world unnamed)

a kind of prohibition era universe, only with anthro characters instead of humans. you could say furry if you really wanted, in the same way you might call a werewolf a furry, and i’ll leave it at that. each species—reptiles, avians, felids, canids, vulpids, and rodents—all have a different place in society and different rules. in tohull, and the country the city exists in, they live together in more or less peace, save for some potentially supernatural occurences.

realm of dead gods

a much more recent universe, inspired initially by amber skies by the lovely caretaker but since then branching off into several other inspirations. main focus on the end of things, and a cautious hope for a beginning in that. best described as post-post-apocalypse.

the Lab (working title, unnamed)

modern fantasy sci-fi, with twists of scp foundation. named after an elusive Lab without a name (by design, it’s hard to track something without a name) who are more focused on creating things than the things they create.

scua (unofficial but might be official)

heavily inspired by david armsby’s autodale, and the concept of something we would perceive as a dystopia, but everyone in it has been brainwashed into enjoying it. feth have wings, and hide above the clouds. apteros don’t, and live in ignorance of the world above their heads. at any point an apteros may reveal themselves to be a feth, and the fledgeling is whisked away to scua, the place where the feth live.

shattered plains, salted earth (working title, might be official)

sci-fi mystery on a planet that’s been torn apart into floating islands. underdeveloped at the moment, admittedly.

eukador

initially intended to be a ‘humans are space orcs’ kind of scenario, but i got bored of it. might revisit someday with a more cohesive idea.

atheria

this is the big one. kind of a fantasy catchall, but things can’t just exist. they have to coexist. dædra and gods are completely different things, but both ‘exist’, to some extent. the difference between time magic, reality magic, death magic, and anything else is significant. draconics are categorized; serpents and salamanders and lindworms and the classic, dracos draconius. bheue helps create things like landering, the city with five times as much area as it takes up, and the Seventh Sword, a device capable of wiping creatures from existence. also where most of my characters end up, and even more start.

[dramioneasks]

Hiii so I've read a bunch of Dramione fics and I was wondering if you (or some followers) could just recommend some random fics? I'm not sure what kind of fic I want I've read a bunch of different ones from the many different tags so can I just have some completely random recommendations for stories people really love? Maybe some stories that aren't in like obvious and popular tags that I probably never wouldve found otherwise? Thank you!!

Completely random recommendations:

Far Be It From Me by riptey - K+, 3 Chapters - Draco works in the dementia ward at St. Mungo’s, and he loves his job, but he doesn’t feel comfortable anywhere else. Recurring tremors in his hands make it hard for him to do things, and he’s too embarrassed to let anyone see. So when his schoolboy crush, Hermione Granger, suddenly reappears in his life, all he can do is push her away. DMHG/EWE/for dramione remix (Donnie Darko)

Hic Sunt Dracones by strawberrykait - M, one-shot - One afternoon, as Draco Malfoy awoke from a heavy stupor, he discovered he had been transformed…

A Little Unsteady by Sweet Little Bullet - M, 12 Chapters - Hermione thought she and Draco had it all together. Sure they were still no closer to settling down than they had been 8 years before but they were happy. So why was he suddenly pulling away and what does his new coworker have to do with it? Dramione. Prompt response.

A Slow Cruel Descent by SenLinYu - M, one-shot - The war grinds on and Hermione Granger is captured. Unable to crack her through interrogation without risking her mind, Voldemort conceives a cruel method of breaking her that involves Draco Malfoy. “He stared at her in disgust. She looked— broken. The fire she’d still had when she was dragged in was now extinguished. Her eyes were locked on his face like she were memorizing him.”

Dystopia (new version) by Rizzle - M, 15 Chapters - Kidnapped and expecting to be abandoned to his fate, Draco Malfoy writes a personal account of recent life, love and loss after the end of the Second Wizarding War. His story encompasses two unforgivable acts, a wedding, a divorce, a kidnapping and maybe, just maybe…a rescue.

Help Me Help You by HermioneWinchester21 - M, 20 Chapters - AU. Set in Victorian England, Hermione’s reputation has taken a substantial blow. A damaging and false rumor has spread that Hermione did more than provide information to Harry during the battle with Tom Riddle.

In addition to being his solicitor, of course. Enough is enough, however. Something has to give. Written for Round 6 of the Dramione Couples Remix. My chosen couple were Lucy Kelson and George Wade from the movie, “Two Weeks’ Notice.”

Celestial Navigation by phlox - T, 3 Chapters - Lost, without direction, unable to find your way home? Coming soon, a new Weasleys’ Wizard Wheezes Ekeltronic to guide you on your journey! *Your mileage may vary.*

How many stories do you have on your head and what are they about?

Oh, nonnie, you have no idea what you unleashed. Read more because. I speak.

I couldn’t go into details because it would get really long, so feel free to ask me more if you wish! I did my best giving some infos for my original stories and DGM fanfics, though of course if it makes you curious, you are more than welcome to askand I am more than happy to reply!

(Since I’m here, I will reblog it here since it’s here it started, but if you or anyone want to ask more, you can also do it directly at my writer blog~ Of course if you do it here I’ll still reply!)

Let’s start with original stories. Counting the one I am currently working on, I have 13 stories with a basic plan/building, 2 stories with minimal planning and 3 that is more of an idea. Plus one I haven’t posted yet but has been finished for month. I am not yet counting possible expansions on the short stories I wrote for the Halloween Challenge of this year. I should maybe count series though, I have 1 ongoing currently (everyday life scenes), an idea for one or two (dimension traveller’s shenanigans; and casual crossover between my novels; also little post end of novel or random in-novel-canon stuff), and technically I have the ongoing “Reflexion” which aren’t stories but subjective thoughts of whatever subject cross my mind.

Out of the 12, 3 are more build in background because they were the ones I had in mind when I stopped college.One is the one I’m working on, Bonds of Fate, which is a modern set story with vampires but with fantasy origins and while it’s going to have it’s plot and adventure, I can see it is also a big part about friendship and the bond the three main develop.The other two, well one is the sequel to my first novel, Mystic Quest. The protags will be linked to the ones of MQ, and so far I’m pretty sure a big part of the plot will happen in the land/world of the dragons. The third one, in a few words, it’s a fantasy world with humans and two species that I named Felnin and Draconis (which can be resumed as demon-human hybrid, felines and draconic) and one protag is a felnin (the king, in fact, if i recall my idea well) and the other a draconic outcast.

This leaves seven stories I have said are also build some. Two are linked to my rp OCs. I had decided months and months ago I would do a novel for my first OC, Aryn (although the story post death of her specie will be different obvs since, Aryn’s rp stories are fandoms). And more recently, I decided I would also do a second novel which will reunite in one world all my OCs, since they can actually all fit in the same universe (and Aryn is also going to show up). So basically, all the OCs in my multimuse? I’m building an understanding of them for that massive thing, although plotwise I’m not sure yet, but building, oh joy I have so much to simply properly note and mix together.

Now again, that leaves five. And fun fact: three are linked, and the other two are linked. In few words, the three have a similar background/prologue (so maybe they will be four, one being the common start), and then each of the three story tell a “what if” (”what if the main got taken in by these people and not those”). The main idea is one story is family oriented, one is friendship/platonic oriented, and one is romance oriented (but I’ll have to check again this plan). The other two story I say are linked, they are prequel-sequel to each other, but shhh little fact: there’s time travel~

And I still have to speak about the others. One is a modern set world with fantasy showing up (dragons, dragons soul); the other is about a youth genius who creates an AI that learns and this is about an AI that actually learns the nuance of humanity (and also who adores their creator so they don’t want to sadden him). Okay that leaves me with three stories. Almost there.

One is under the idea of “not so typical quest” where, basically, the prophecy is misunderstood. The other is something sci fi with a goal of keeping a certain open question of whether what we see is an utopia or dystopia (i think, that’s what i noted for the list of ideas, i’m not checking actual notes right now). Last one is a simple idea of “horror story all in speech”.

I. am not going to go into details about those, but fanfic (leaving here the link to fanfic blog so you can find later if you want the one I mention have started posting). DGM wise, I have 6 ongoing stories (3 are my main), I’m currently very inspired and working on an Assassin’s Creed DGM crossover, I have the idea for two more stories for my canon au background, and then. Two ideas for crossover with Ao no Exorcist, a canon au inspired by AC, a canon au for the White Devil canon au I once rped on my sideblog, a JoydAllen idea, a transwoman Cross idea, the idea of a sequel for Long Lost Reunion, an idea of “Allen and Lavi keeps dying poor Miranda”, an idea about “Allen thrown in various world thingy inspired by horror game for the amusment but also energy revitalization of demons coughNoahcough which is au or canon au”, a possible steampunk au, an idea inspired by Odd Thomas, and finally something to play with the idea of “CC having different weapon forms”.

That is just DGM, of course. Just give numbers, I have one other planned fanfic in NatsuYuu (and one ongoing), 10ish planned fics for a crossover series between Skyrim and DAI with an OC&canon au building, probably 20ish fics ideas in BBC Merlin (half being for my series Destiny Tales; one ongoing for DT and one ongoing thats on its own), 10ish fics ideas for Pokemon (one ongoing), 5/6ish story ideas in FNAF for a serie (one ongoing), 5/6ish story ideas in Kyo Kara Maoh (two ongoing that are linked), 1 in Outlast (thats ongoing, with at least two arcs), 1 in White Collar (ongoing but has three connected timelines I write in, present, past and what ifs), two rewrites for GX I might one day do and one ongoing I still want to finish eventually. Two/three funny collection of one shots in Saiyuki and Tales of Symphonia (and another fandom I’m not sure yet I’ll post again), in fact I have at least one story idea for Saiyuki and Tales of Symphonia.

Drops down now because wow. Send help XD
