dracchosis

paranoia, hyperfocused behaviors, obsession, hoarding, pacing and repetitive movements surrounding an object of affection - specifically shining metals, rocks and jewels.

a form of zoochosis appearing in captive draconics, as the hoarding is unnatural behavior in the wild. the collection of shining objects may be seen as the draconic attempting to regain freedom by use of valuables that are conveniently of interest to human beings.

used only for holotheres, draconics, and alterhumans.

cang qiong dragon god shen yuan is probably like so old that time doesn’t have meaning? like he transmigrated into pidw as a dragon and and the system gave him a few missions that functionally amounted to ‘claim this mountain range as your territory and defend it from demons’

sy didn’t realize that he was actually laying the foundation for cang qiong mountain sect before its creation. some terrifying demon demigod (one of the first heavenly demons, maybe?) pursues a band of cultivators to his mountain range, and he protects them. they settle his mountains and start cultivating, and because they’re protected by a literal god (who they call lord canglong, and they name the mountains after him) people want to study there.

so cqms is born, and sy takes a nap. when he wakes up, those cultivators he saved bring another group of cultivators, all named 'wen' to his mountain, and they ask his permission to lead the peaks next. another nap, and he wakes up to the wen generation asking his blessing for the ming generation, so on and so forth up until the qing generation. this time he recognizes names: qingge, qingfang, qingqi. this generation's leader, qingyuan. and the one whose bow is shallow and perfunctory, qingqiu. ofc sy isn't super pressed about standing on ceremony or whatever—he's only experienced like six years in this world, and most of them were spent either establishing the mountain as his territory or helping his little cultivators fight off some world-ending cataclysm or other. but he remembers the scum villain’s name, and he’s not a huge fan of the way sqq’s already proving himself to be an arrogant old shit

just like every other time, after he’s met and blessed this generation of peak lords, shen yuan falls asleep. shit!!! he meant to stay awake this time, but the system putting him to sleep is just too powerful! he’s probably missed luo binghe, damnit!!! what’s the point of transmigrating into this shitty novel if he doesn’t even get to meet the only character worth the pixels it took to type him into existence??

but as soon as he sees that fluffy-haired boy curled up in one of his caves, bruised and weeping and wondering what he’s done to be so universally hated, shen yuan knows. that’s his protagonist, and he’s really too pathetic like this. he’s really just a child. and shen yuan might have been easily annoyed by the concept of kids in his first life, but this isn’t just some whiny kid. this is the protagonist. so he does his best to calm tiny lord luo down.

and at first when lbh realizes it’s the fucking dragon god canglong speaking to him, the poor kid falls on his face kowtowing and apologizing for the intrusion, but lord canglong just…asks him what’s wrong. and then listens. and then he allows binghe to…to touch his hand???? not only that, he pats binghe’s head?? and tells him it isn’t his fault??? that one little head-pat is filled with so much spiritual power that binghe almost passes out, and soon after he recovers, lord canglong sends him back down the mountain with a renewed sense of purpose. lord canglong said binghe wasn’t stupid, wasn’t incompetent, wasn’t a failure, and binghe was determined to prove himself worthy of the sect’s guardian deity’s kindness.

and when luo binghe turns to walk down the mountain back to qing jing peak, that google translate voice pipes up in shen yuan’s ear with an update he hadn’t realized he was waiting for.

[Congratulations! Congratulations! Congratulations! Important things must be said three times! USER_002 has completed the quest {From the Ground Up}! B-points +500 USER_002 has initiated the quest {Master of Masters}! New skill [Shapeshifter] has been unlocked! Would USER_002 like to activate [Shapeshifter] now?]

shen yuan slammed the bright glowing [YES] faster than any quest the system had ever given him. that’s how he learned that he was, in fact, just naked in front of luo binghe, and the [Shapeshifter] skill didn’t come with an auto-clothed setting. thank fuck he’d already sent the protagonist away!

"Both of you, faithless fools who would dare to take up arms against the king of earth and sky!"

The words "Zonai Ganondorf" entered my head and I haven't been sane since. Perhaps in the Zonai version of the legend, the warlord "Gannon" sought after the secret stones, and the incarnation of Hylia draconified herself to stop him alongside the Ancient Hero.

A melusine is a fairy with two fish/serpent legs. They have wings sometimes and can also transform into a dragon. They use a lot of magic all the time and were made from it. Melusine can refer to one creature or multiple creatures of one species in Europe, but is usually used to mean a species.

People call them "devils" or "succubi", serpents, or water spirits.

i don't believe myself to be a melusine, even though i fit the description all but the wings.

Mami Wata from African myths sometimes aligns with the appearance I call a "pisciped" (fish foot), where there are two mermaid tails instead of one. Similarly to a melusine, she was a water spirit, associated with snakes, sometimes known as a succubus, is demonized by Christians and has a magicical item (a golden comb). Mami Wata is depicted as either a white woman or a black woman.

It's the same I get with Damballah, the white serpent loa of Haitian myth. He is depicted as a serpent, either with a human head or a snake head, and with wings of some sorts. He is also seen as a Naga or Lamia, with the lower half of a snake - also seen in the other two above. Damballah has Petro and Simbi, which are versions of himself in lesser forms on Earth bc Damballah is disconnected from humanity and their struggles.

Damballah and La Sirene.

I believe being a shifter is passed down, either by blood or by heritage and practice/environment, so to me, as a pisciped - I would have a form similar to La Sirene (Haitian version of Mami Wata), which would be two tailed or one tailed. She is able to shapeshift between human and mermaid.

I'll probably use the term pisciped instead of a specific thing like serpent, mermaid, or melusine because it's just hard to go back into your heritage and find out when everyone is a Christian and only has these things happen to them - not spurred upon by their faith.

Wukong in DBS...?

Got hyped thanks to Wukong game, watched recap of some stories from Journey to the west, finished 4th and 5th season of lego monkie kid....

I absolutely love how this ape singlehandedly pissed off every god possible.

Sooo... i thought, what if DB had similar figure? (Not Goku).

A godly monke that pissed off every god and got sealed by Zeno (local buddha), a.k.a every what if youtube channel about "what if goku was trapped in hyperbo..." you know the deal.

Idea was that there was a monke god in oldest times born from the core of a mystical planet appeared out of nowhere, possibly one of early prototypes for super balls Zalama made (yes i do think Zalama is the dragon's name, he has to have one. Namekians copied balls from big one, not created originals)

Anyho.

Monke. Born from ball. Makin trouble and befriends angels and zennie. Angels dislike him, too careless and destructive, but rivals in strengrh or even surpasses a bit the grand priest.

Immortal too.

Gets sealed by Zeno when Zeno gets bored of his shenanigans on a random planet.

Tho he probly already jumpstarted op monke race of his image that scattered and became saiyans, i dunno.

Also, why Wukai? I wanted to name Wukong, but Goku is already Wukong (in japanese its goku, chinese, wukong). Didnt wanted to confuse.

Design inspired by lego version ofc. Game is cool, but too serious.

Also, recolor of old fanart of LMK Wukong but not lego.
