#dragon’s growling

[silverus-kvassus]

I was a big fan of Soviet cartoons for a while before Treasure Island got popular and I remember being sad because it was quite a niche interest so when it starting gaining attention I was excited even though I hadn't seen it yet because I was happy that outsiders were finally watching and liking a Soviet cartoon even if it was one I didn't know much about... but I found out about the fandom and how bad it was it honestly made me sad as I thought people actually cared about the cartoon and Soviet animation and the fact that it seemed like they were just joining the fandom so they could just make weird headcanons, pairings, simp for the characters and make NSFW of them made me really upset especially with many of them being English speakers or Americans as it seemed like they didn't actually care about Treasure Island or Soviet animation and only got into the fandom because of a meme...

I have sadly seen this with other foreign cartoons and animation gaining outside fandoms especially ones I like and I don't understand this fascination but with Americans especially taking obscure franchises and turning them into the next garbage animation fandom... especially with how many bad western animation fandoms there are I guess the toxic ones especially have to get their grubby hands on franchises just to ruin them.

I also have noticed some of these American fans can be rather discriminatory towards the countries these animations come from and often judge them by American standards and often try to criticise or misinterept them because they are very misinformed or have some stupid standards and even try to call some of these franchises problematic just because they come from certain countries or come from different times where they would be products of them and even judge them based on their own modern standards and try to project modern ideals onto them even when they don't fit and have nothing to do with the original premise... they also can be quite toxic and try to force their ideals onto a franchise or fandom even when it has nothing to do with it and many of them only care about surface level stuff and don't seem to care about the creators who made it or the country it came from.

I'm not exculsionist or a gatekeeper as I usually don't care what people do in fandoms but I do draw a line when I feel like there's an issue as I hate people who just join fandoms just because they are popular and don't actually give a crap about the actual work in question and just use it as a way to be toxic and I have even seen people go as far as to disrespect the creators of said works and only join a fandom to criticise how bad the work is... like why are you even here then? And as someone who really loves animation and appreciates it, it saddens me to see people treat such works like this especially with how little attention foreign animation gets in the western world. Do we really need awful fandoms ruining them?

I'm not saying all people are like this and that we should force people to enjoy things a certain way but is it too much to ask to try and be respectful to some of these works especially when they hold so much value to other people and countries? Can't you just stick to your regular awful fandoms and not bring other works into this? And while I know people say that these fandoms after often the minority this really isn't the case for the obscure ones that get popular especially due to these toxic people.

It especially saddens me as there are some obscure things I've wanted to share and make art of but I'm scared of people getting their hands on it and ruining people's exposure to these works and while it may seem like I'm being negative that isn't to say that all obscure fandoms are like this as there are a lot of good fandoms that even if they are small don't have the same level of toxicity and plenty of people who do legitmately like these works and not for superficial reasons.

I'm sorry if it seems like I was ranting but I've seen this for a while and I wanted to vent about it but I'm sorry if this isn't a appropriate place to do so and if I'm being rude.

I agree with you in everything here. The hypocrisy of many really amazes me, because it is a living phenomenon and an indicator of the stupidity of some people. It's a shame that this happens.

I know it's the wrong timeline, but imagine if in the lycanwing episode, they had gone to Viggo for help out of sheer desperation.

If Tuffnut doesn't accept any of their help, it's time to get more drastic. None of them can figure out what dragon caused that bite mark, but you know who might? An expert dragon hunter. So, Hiccup goes to Viggo, he lays out the deal and says they need help with a dragon they can't identify, and in exchange they might be willing to leave some of the hunters' ships alone for a while. Viggo, intrigued (and flattered Hiccup is recognizing his expertise) agrees, and goes back with them to the edge.

They go to the stables, where Tuffnut is locked in a cell. Tuffnut, being Tuffnut, sees Viggo and immediately starts wailing that they've SOLD HIM to the DRAGON HUNTERS, how COULD THEY, they're going to HAND HIM OVER to VIGGO. Hiccup tells him to just stick out his arm.

Tuffnut: FINE, i'll show him, and then you will all believe!!! he will prove the truth you are too blind to see! HERE IT IS

Viggo: oh, that's a canine bite

Tuffnut, Hiccup & Fishlegs:

Viggo: you can tell by the u-shaped pattern and the circular marks of the canine teeth next to the smaller imprints of the molars. i'd say it was a wolf, most likely.

Hiccup:

Viggo:

Hiccup:

Tuffnut: now that you mention it. it was large and furry and walked on four legs. it didn't have any wings either. i always thought that was strange for a dragon, haha!

Tuffnut: it would also explain the howling.

Hiccup:

Hiccup: are you fucking serious

the way that braids are symbolic for moonshadow elves and rayla lost her braid at the same time that she lost her home and family and everything she knew, and it wasn't until she was able to grow and come into herself and love callum like she couldn't before that it came back, thicker and winding around her like a halo because she's finally surrounded by unconditional love and i

- Fig Faeth, of Fig and the Cig Figs -

[Image Description:

Fanart of the Tiefling character, Fig Faeth, from the Dungeons and Dragons webseries Dimension 20. She has light red skin with two horns that fade into a warm off-white colour as they extend from her body. She is wearing a plain sleeveless black shirt, a leather jacket with various poorly sewn on patches, and a red skirt with a belt. Tucked behind her ear are two phoenix feathers from her girlfriend, Ayda Aguefort.

Her hair is a light brown and is dyed at the ends a red, with most of her hair tied into bubble-pigtails and her bangs loose in her face. Her elven-ears are pierced, her hands are decorated with rings, and she is proudly sticking her middle finger in the air with a grin. With her other hand, she is holding a microphone and the lead for it is draped around her body intentionally.

Her patches, of which there are five, have the following; a simple image of a bee, the text 'Baby & Baby Baby' on a red background, a triangle flag-shaped patch with 'Hoot Growl' on it in red on a white background, a mostly obscured 'rock on' hand gesture, and lastly an orange patch with an arrow and the words 'This Way Up', which is of course placed upside down.]

Lloyd swears, but never in any human language. Instead they kinda grumble and growl like a dragon. They learnt it because when they first moved in with the ninja Wu used to curse ALOT. He used to grumble and the rest of the ninja just thought it was normal and just somthing he did but Lloyd started picking up on it after awhile.

Misako can't speak in dragon but she understands a decent amount. She was not happy when Lloyd started copying Wu.

I love your Soviet Russian cartoon treasure island art. Do you still draw that stuff? If so, then can you draw dr livesey where he is snoring while he is sleeping pls?

Oh, thank you, I'm glad to know that! And yes, I still draw Treasure Island, but I don't want to show it here. If you're interested, I'm showing it here: https://vk.com/silvernest

I don't know if I'll ever continue to show it here, but definitely not today.

And the idea of a sleeping Livesey is pretty sweet, I've actually been thinking about it for a long time, and there were a couple of sketches somewhere, but I didn't show them anywhere. Maybe someday I'll draw it again.

They took out his growl though? It was there before right? Even in the regular kindled, he doesn't growl anymore 😔
