#dragoni language

[s0ull3ss-p3rs0n]

Dragoni language but, they don't have gendered pronouns, nor like pronouns at all, they do have something similar like a certain "title" such as "being (Oni)" and "being (Dragon)" and additional "small being" referring to humans and most likely any other humanoid being (only exception being the serpentine referred as "small being (Dragon) because of what they look like) FSM was referred to as something similar to the word hybrid and never had a name I guess.

Garmadon gets referred as either "being (Oni)" or "small being" or sometimes even "small being (Oni)" because yes.

Lloyd is often referred to as "small being" or occasionally even used the same sound what FSM was referred as.

Does anyone understand what the fuck am I even talking about

Ninjago Secrecy AU

So in this AU, it’s basically the same as canon, EXCEPT, the ninja stay secret.

it's not JUST their identities. It’s also their literal existence and history.

FSM didn’t want humans, who often misunderstood and killed Yōkai-kind, to know about the Elementals. So he kept himself secret, his two sons secret, and the people he’d later choose to become the first human-ish Elementals secret. Those people were street orphans and abused kids he’d rescued from other humans.

Elementals have basically been behind the scenes (and doing illegal stuff like underage driving) for several millennia, they’ve managed to keep secret all this time and continue to do so in this AU. 

When something big comes, like the Great Devourer, the ninja fix it but there’s only eyewitnesses and no camera footage and most of the time they somehow aren’t seen by humans.

Or Jay causes a blackout to make things harder for them to be seen.

Oh, yeah. And Elementals aren’t sure if they’re Humans with powers, something between Yōkai and Humans, or just full-blown Yōkai. 

They just don’t know, but they have the senses of Yōkai and they can see very well in the dark- they also have a keen sense of smell, they can follow trails. And their eyes glow, but they can control the glow when they need to. Among other things, like feeling vibrations.

Elementals also have feral instincts, though they can ignore those instincts and act human when the circumstances demand it. Lloyd, his father, and uncle all have Dragoni features like in my Headcanon #1, and they're the most feral.

If you saw my HC about the Elemental Bond, that applies here too.

The Elementals just tell people who ask that they’re a clan. They’re kind of common amongst the Realms, and to help the ninja, their clan is tiny, and sort of IS a clan, just a special one. 

Said clans that do exist either live off the land or live modernly now but they all started back in old times, and they keep touch and all nowadays. 

The Serpentine often receives a similar reception that Yōkai get, just less than that, so they don’t give the game up- they keep silent about the ninja. 

After meeting the ninja, the Formlings, the Geckles and the Munce, and others were asked to and agreed to keep quiet about the Elementals. So does Vania, (idk how that part of Master of the Mountain works but yeah).

In the AU, other Yōkai, (Kitsune, Kappas, Tanukis, Bakenekos, ect.) are more apparent and present in this, and even most of them don’t know about the ninjas, just a few friends know. 

The Elementals frequently attack and ambush Yōkai Hunters, and free the trapped Yōkai. 

There’s also more mountains around the Monastery, it’s a literal mountain range, and many Yōkai live in them. Years ago they all combined their magic to create a barrier, so humans can’t get in (they just get turned around and all,) unless they’re led, and it's really hard for someone to just find their way in, but it happens occasionally. 

IN THIS AU, THE SIX SEE EACH OTHER AS SIBLINGS, EXCEPT MAYBE JAY AND NYA, I CAN'T DECIDE.

Arin knows about the ninja ONLY because he’s from a village near the mountain of the Monastery, and his family is one of the few that the ninja trusted with the knowledge of their existence, because one of Arin’s ancestors, a few generations back, accidentally found a way into the mountains, and got caught in a storm, so the ninja of the time saved him. 

Also all the Elementals speak Yōkai. It’s their second language, and their first language is Japanese, English is their third language.  

Yeah, that’s it really.

AND IF YOU HAVE AND QUESTIONS, FEEL FREE TO ASK!

[thecatundertheladder]

In your fsm lives au, because Lloyd is half dragoni, does he ever or do anything that just isn’t human? Like making weird sounds, have urges he can’t explain, or just do anything that sets off the human brain that he isn’t fully what he seems? If so does he know how to handle it or does it feel overwhelming to him because for almost his entire life he was raised human?

(Also do the ninja or Morro especially ever pick up on the nonhuman side of Wu and Garm. Like start understanding what their body language or sounds mean that normal humans can’t. Or even become so used to being around what are essentially predators, that it kills that part of their brains that makes humans afraid of nonhumans)

Sorry if I worded this weird, I don’t know if I knew how to fully explain my question.

Hello again!

Yeah so when he was younger, Lloyd would have the habit of growling at people when they annoyed him, such as classmates, teachers, the occasional old lady trying to pinch his cheeks. He couldn't really control it, and as a result got bullied for it. He also had the habit of staying completely still while starring at people he didn't like, which really freaked out his classmates. He didn't realise it until much later, but it was his hunting instincts coming out. His Oni blood was reacting to the people he didn't like and trying to send signals to fight them, which were then clashing with the Draconic instincts to hunt by stealth (although they usually do it from the sky).

By the time he ended up with the Ninja he could mostly control the growling, though he still silently watched people he didn't like. That part was a lot less obvious however, as he grew to like the Ninja quite quickly (much to his dismay). The growling only happened when his was actually mad at people rather than just annoyed. The Ninja all just chalked it up to Lloyd being a bit feral. Again, because he actually liked the Ninja, the starring without blinking didn't really happen. The one exception is when Lloyd was planning pranks, to which everyone kinda made the connection and figured that there wasn't anything deep to it.

When he first starts being around Wu and Garmadon, Lloyd instantly finds social interaction with them a bit easier than other because of the little dragoni mannerisms they have. But while he does pick up a fair bit of the body language pre-reveal, he doesn't really have any thing else until he hits puberty (season 8). That's when it becomes much more obvious that he's not entirely human and he starts to grow things like horns. After that, his non-human instincts come out in full force.

But as with Lloyd, living with Wu and Garmadon causes the other Ninja to pick up dragoni mannerisms as well. Just kinda subtle things; more the growling and hissing than anything. Also cuddle piles. Very important stuff. The first time Wu sees one of them snapping their teeth at another he nearly melts inside. He loves all his kids so much and the fact that they've picked up some dragoni mannerisms makes him very happy. Garmadon lowkey thinks it's hilarious but he's also secretly pretty happy.

Morro has ended up with a few more since he's been around Wu longer than the others. Small gestures and sounds beyond growling and hissing, like the more subtle stuff dragons and/or Oni do when socialising. One thing in particular is that he's picked up the way Wu moves his shoulder blades depending on what emotion he's feeling at the time as a left over from when he has wings. Morro has yet to notice. Wu finds it adorable and a really good way to figure out what his son is thinking, and as such has yet to tell him.

Once the Ninja get a bit more famous and start interacting with the public a bit more, they do get some side eyes whenever they implement what they've picked up from Wu and Garmadon.

With the uncanny valley effect (human brain going 'tf that is NOT a human) it's actually not too much of an issue with Wu and Garmadon. They grew up surrounded by humans after all, and as a result can mimic them very well - not that they're really trying to do so.

When the Ninja (minus Lloyd, who doesn't notice anything) meet Wu for the first time, they all instantly get the idea that he is not someone to be messed with, and they all think theres something slightly off about him, but not enough to trigger the fight or flight response. The all just chalked it up to the fact he was the millenia old son of the First Spinjitzu Master and moved on with their lives.

Garmadon was much more scary when they first met him. After all, he didn't exactly look human at the time, and the venom made him have some very odd behaviours even by dragoni standards. But because he didn't look human he didn't trigger the uncanny valley effect for the Ninja when he first showed up. The Ninja didn't really find anything strange about him (you know, besides his whole deal) because in their minds, its was pretty rational to be afraid of the evil-looking evil dude. The effect did start after he was cured and could go back to his human form and didn't have the venom making him evil. It basically put him on the same level as Wu again, and by that point the Ninja were mostly desensitised to his shennanigans.

The First Spinjitzu Master, on the other hand, really did trigger the uncanny valley effect for the Ninja. It's not that he can't mimic humans enough that it mostly goes away - he did create them when he was a child and grew up alongside them - it's just that he doesn't care enough to. It got better as they got used to him but it was definitely an adjustment. It took ages for Lloyd to realise why everyone found his grandpa creepy. He still doesn't entirely get it.

Also, the uncanny valley effect goes away once their in the true forms.

Hello! Love your ogre research, first of all. So something weird here, in my English translation of Ariosto the monster that threatens Angelica (the orca) is translated as “sea orc”, and the blind ogre who acts like Polyphemus (the orco) is translated as “land orc”. (And by extension “sea orc” evolved into a dragony thing in some modern fantasy books). Any idea why that happened instead of just calling them “orca” and “ogre” or something?

Ah yes the Orlando Furioso. I meant to include this in my big "What makes an ogre" series but never got the time.

So... I have to admit I am not an expert on Italian language, especially old fashioned Italian language, and I also am no expert on the full Orlando Furioso (it is a very complex work I only got started on recently). But here's the thing...

It is well-known that the Orlando Furioso was put together by taking elements of Greco-Roman mythology and reinventing them completely. The Orco and Orca are this. The Orco is basically Polyphemus reinvented - but here with two eyeballs made of bone instead of one eye promptly gouged out. The Orca meanwhile is the sea-dragon of the Andromeda story given a new name. So far so good.

But "Orca" is not meant to evoke the sea animal of the same name, the "killer whale", and that's something everybody has to remind people of (even the Wikipedia article for the Orca in Italian points out it is NOT the "orca" as in the sea creature). Orca is used here as the male form of "orco" - and the "orco" is indeed the same name of creature used by Basile to designate his proto-ogres. The "uercos", which is just "orcos" spelled differently.

So should we translated "Orco" as "ogre" and "Orca" as "ogress"? Well... No, it wouldn't work. At least for the Orco it can work since he sports typical ogre traits and DID influence the rise of the ogre figure in France (I don't think it is a random choice if madame d'Aulnoy's ogres are cyclops). But the Orca clearly isn't the same kind of creature - it is a sea dragon, or a sea monster, or some big sea snake. So this hints at the fact that "orco/orca" doesn't actually translated, in the context of the Orlando, as "ogre"...

You see, by Basile's Pentamerone, the "orco" is clearly an "ogre" in the fairytale sense of the word - though some English translators decided to go for "ghoul" because they didn't understand why an ogre would have magical powers, unaware that ogres were originally sorcerers/fairies of their own rights. They preferred to evoke the shapeshifting Arabian demons, allowing for an easier explanation of "Oh yes the ogre turns into all sorts of animals and curses people when it can't eat them".

[Note: As I write this I realized "orchi" is apparently the plural of "orco"? Well... I'll keep calling them "orcos" for now, but another proof I am not expert when it comes to these things]

But the author of the Orlando Furioso seems to have had a different and more ancient meaning in head for "orco". If you ask me, what seems very likely (though I am no expert) is that "orco"/"orca" is here taken as meaning "man-eating monster". Not just a fairytale ogre, but any kind of creature that wants to devour human beings. As a result the "orco" is an ogre-like giant, while the orca is a sea monster-dragon. "Orco/a" is used in the same broad sense as how "fairy" could be used in the British Isles to refer to all sorts of creatures, or yokai in Japan - or at least, that's what it seems to me. This is probably why the translator chose to prefer the term "orc", more neutral and evoking the older roots and mysterious figures behind the word "orc" before Tolkien made it famous. Calling the sea creature "orca" feeds the confusion with the killer whale ; while calling the land monster "ogre" might remove the idea that he is another form of the sea creature met earlier. One could keep the cohesion by having "ogre / ogress" but it would be mistranslating to call the sea monster "ogress" when it is clearly not just a female version of the land creature. So ultimately I think this is why the terms "sea orc" and "land orc" were chosen - it keeps the unity, while pointing out that the term does not designate a specific type of being, more a large class of man-eating beings. You could easily go with "sea monster" and "land monster" too.

At least that's how I perceive things - but again I am NO expert and any actual Italian insight on this topic would be more than welcome.

Can you do a reading on b1a4 jinyoung and go minsi friendship please

>> geomancy reading <<

using derivative astrology: 11th house becomes 1st

11th house: conjunctio

12th house: fortuna minor

1st, 6th: cauda dragonis

2nd: acquisitio

3rd, 8th: caput dragonis

4th: fortuna major

5th: laetitia

7th, 9th: puella

10th: rubeus

outcome (15th house, acquisitio + 11th): fortuna major

first impressions (conjunctio) | when they met each other (for the first time), it looks like each of them left the other with great and positive feelings, therefore their friendship have the potential to be great (around that time).

working in a team (fortuna minor) | when they have to work together, they click very good and quick. moreover, both of them are doing their jobs even faster when they're together.

communication (cauda dragonis) | their communication between each other pretty much sucks, therefore when it comes to their teamwork, they're doing it very fast to the point they want to get home as soon as possible. considering that cauda dragonis is the only bad figure, it's possible that currently they don't talk with each other.

self-expression (caput dragonis) | they might have similar body language, therefore they understand each other pretty quickly. considering their complex situation in how they communicate with each other, one of them is more introverted than the other (possibly minsi), which explains the things to me (she might suck in general communications with people).

work in their jobs (puella) | the other important thing when they work in a job that they're colleagues is that minsi has set her boundaries very strict and she's usually the one who starts their communications as a whole. jinyoung seems to respect her boundaries a lot.

friendship (puella) | their friendship isn't as bad as it seems, however it's just obvious that minsi is in the charge of the dymanics between each other. puella in the 11th house (to be precise, 11th from 11th) shows jinyoung's respect towards her and her boundaries.

overall (fortuna major) | their bond between each other can only benefit both of them, whether if it's personally or profesionally. considering how both of them respect each other, they can only have good dynamics between each other. despite their lack of communication, they're getting along pretty well.

i made a phylogenetic tree for one of my fictional worlds. (I do not recommend doing this without a physical book on phylogeny tbh, doing it with just google searches is tedious and feels like its missing crucial info)

In this world various types of “dragons” exist, as well as other humanoid species. The black branches belong to species that have actually existed, the red branches are how I added the dragons into the tree and the blue branches are how I added my humanoid species into the tree. (I added the dragon types according what worked for me and my fictional world, so it may not perfectly fit the mythology of every species.)

currently there are four types of humanoid species in this world:

Amphibae Sapiens - The Wise Amphibian, descendants of an amphibious species

Avialae Sapiens - The Wise Bird, descendants of an ancestral bird species

Draconis Sapiens - The Wise Dragon, descendants of a draconic species

Hominid Sapiens - The Wise Ape, descendants of great apes

Thanks to convergent evolution and coevolution, these sapient species have been able to intermingle and share a common language (tho with distinct dialects) as well as a common “religion”/culture (with distinct subcultures).

This common language and religion is viewed as irremovable parts of the other and therefore has only one name: Quilth  (i’d tell you it’s phonetic pronunciation but i dont quite understand the phonetical alphabet yet, sadge)

The Dragonis Sapiens are the newest additions to this coevolving group, stemming from a common fear of their ancestors: dragons. This fear is still present but less prevalent in these cultures today.

Additionally, draconic species’ populations are declining in size due to survival of the fittest (and them not being the best adapted to the changing environments) and having been hunted down by other (draconic/sapient) species (as revenge). This is relevant to my ocs themselves, some of which are helping to protect these species from extinction)

what sorts of gifts (objects and things of physical presence and monetary value) would you never turn down?

what do you consider to be more romantic: heart- and red-themed things for the holiday itself, or dragony and teal and sharp things more tailored to your personal tastes? what do you consider *your* personal thematic imagery?

Oh! This is a wonderful question. Thank you!

I would not turn down any gift, in truth. Especially from someone I care for. The thought matters, and I do try to show my appreciation for every single one. But I will never turn down red velvet cake, a good wine, a novel with a note written inside for me, pretty jewelry, any amount of flowers, dresses with flattering necklines, swords and daggers... I enjoy sharing experiences, too. I will go to the beach with anyone. I am happiest in any forest. And grand ballrooms and libraries and museums are wonderful. I am a romantic, always. To be thought of at all is an honour.

As for what I think is more romantic... See, I have very rarely enjoyed the red (and pink) holiday in its natural state. I have had such thoughtful partners that it's never been just hearts and roses and red. I'd like to experience that someday, but I think there's more romance in the curation. Teal and dragons do not really scream "romance". Those are me, yes, but I think they have to be... modified. Teal worn to show that they are proud to be with me, dragons in embroidery or painted detail on a dress hem... Teal and dragons are a good place to start for me. But my favourite flower is a gardenia. Snapdragons, forget-me-nots, orange roses, and lavender are some strong contenders, too. A bouquet with careful intent and meaning is the very best, though. I love the colour red- in fabric, in nail lacquer, in lipstick, in everything. I favour a rapier over any other blade. Romance novels and poetry have been companions of mine for sweeps. I always look to the stars, to constellations. I have grown ever so fond of the aurora borealis. My children- recognising them as a part of me, honouring them as people I love- are so very important. I write letters, to friends, to partners, all full of love. The trees have always been my family. The shore has been a friend. I love blue, and yellow, and black and white together. How I adore knights and the princesses they protect. Baking for others is a love language in and of itself. My favourite food is one I get to share with someone else (but I will never say no to fresh berries, baked fish, comfort foods.) I think my scars, for all of the grief they give me, are integral to who I am, how I am viewed, how I view myself. I enjoy flight, on the back of a dragon, through space in a ship. And, as always, there is beauty in law, in justice, in serving the people.

I think... that is enough from me. But thank you for giving me the opportunity to speak about things that bring me joy.

[s0ull3ss-p3rs0n]

I can imagine the convo when FSM ran away (indirect translation of Dragoni language, modified to fit the human language better):

Omega: "It's my turn to look after the kid! Where are they anyway?"

Firstbourne: "That the thing, I can't find them!"

"The fuck you mean you can't find them???"

"Idk, I woke up this morning and they were gone!"

"[Curse word only exlusive to Dragoni language, read as a loud beep]"

The other Dragons and Oni watching this unfold: ._.

Imagine this, FSM is like a child of divorced parents, (for me his parents are Omega and Firstbourne) and they would share it with the dragons for a month and then with the Oni, it could be hilarious.

Imagine there is some fight between Oni and dragons and it is Omega's turn to look after the FSM and Firstbourne tries to steal it and attention Omega shouts across the battlefield "Firstbourne! Leave him, it's my turn to look after him" and everyone stops fighting and there is silence on the battlefield.

Damn, I'm already fucked up 🤣🤣🤣🤣

[s0ull3ss-p3rs0n]

Something something the Oni using the word for "hybrid" as the word for autistic after the Oni hybrids start popping up, which means some of the Oni calling Garmadon something along the lines of "small Oni" is basically like calling an autistic person the r-slur.

[oolathurman]

so uhh that was the first watch through, let's go over it again

enemies can interact with each other and the environment

still convinced that ganondorf somehow corrupted that arm of link's.

the large chalk drawings on the ground i love them they're SO gonna be puzzles

ok the spotlights seem to be in multiple locations so i'm betting it's for like. wayfinding purposes when you're in the air.

i wonder how long after botw this takes place?

seeing encampments near hyrule castle is so cool tho ahhh ARE WE BUILDING UP AN ARMY????

CUZ CLEARLY WE CAN FIGHT WITH NPCS PROPERLY NOW

giant cloud in the sky five bucks says it's also related to skyward sword shit

i should. probably finish skyward sword huh i never did whoops.

i got close!!!!

the way music is reversed and shit. while ganon's music is cued. mm.

like i know we saw evidence of the zonai last trailer but i'm still seeing traces of twilight princess. such as in this music.

ok so you can't see it very clearly in just a screenshot but

one arm is like. corrupted compared to the right. or the arms different at least.

this continues my theory that ganondorf corrupted link's arm

if he didn't i will eat my shoe

still fucking horny for ganondorf

OK YEAH LINK'S RIGHT ARM IS CORRUPTED IN THE NEXT CLIP, IN THE SCREENSHOT, IN THE SCREENSHOT ABOVE GANON'S ARMS ARE NOT PROPORTIONAL TO EACH OTHER

TELL ME THAT THEY DIDN'T SWITCH ARMS OR SOME SHIT

TELL ME TO MY FUCKING FACE

what is this SPARKLING that zelda's doing as she's falling

it's clearly related to the piece of amber or whatever it is she holds later in the trailer

i love the addition of quicksand in totk it's so 90s to have quicksand everywhere

this underground area where link's wearing the goron armor tho

it's not goron built, the architecture is different and i KNOW nintendo puts careful thought into that shit

but it's underground or otherwise not receiving natural sunlight

is this the temple in the ravine??? the forgotten temple or whatever????

AIRSHIPPPPPPPPPPPPPPP

[cues mission impossible music]

heehee poncho boy

yeah you can def fight with villager and npcs now and i like that link's learned how to do the spinning spear trick that the bokoblins used in the previous game! that's such a fun touch

if this dragony npc is a zonai by god we are gonna introduce so much more furry bait into the fandom (i say this with amused positivity)

well we're getting so much more furry bait already with their existence but shhh

the tear shapes that they have under their eyes are the same as zelda's WHAT IS THIS. IT HAS TO DO WITH SHEIKAH RIGHT? SHEIKAH ARE THE ONES WITH THE CRYING EYE MOTIF. WHAT DO ZONAI HAVE TO DO WITH SHEIKAH.

wait a second i'm remembering this like. weird conspiracy theory i had when i played oot where a sect of separate sheikah who defected from hyrule were like. corrupted by magic and shit. i suppose i forgot bc it's been uhhh ten plus years but uh

eyes emoji

wait a second what's the zonai theory anyway

bc if my old conspiracy theory lines up with zonai then that means i came up with the zonai theory separately and--

well anyway

what is this script that's being used on the gears and walls in this next scene. it's a new language/script. it's not sheikah, it's not hylian. what is it. is it zonai as well. idr if the twili had a script.

KOROK BABIES IN THE BACKGROUND, ALWAYS THERE FOR LINK, THE HERO. ;U;

ugh the way this unseen npc dresses reminds me so much of. shit what's his face. the other twili person that isn't midna. him. the weirdo. i guess it's just how the clothes drape but i have so much thread on this spool for the conspiracy theory board ok.

that amber i talked about is around her neck THAT AMBER IS AROUND HER NECK also girl cute earrings!!!!

i will say that seeing link using magic 2 part epoxy to glue a shield to a sword is fucking hilarious.

does anyone recognize this rito from the previous game

was she(?) the (modern) champion's daughter or smth idr

HOW MANY YEARS HAVE PASSED

the corruption has spread to mount doom you KNOW this is gonna be a main quest

obsessed with this look yas girl oh my god i just noticed the additional ear piercings I LOVE IT

new 'hit the eyes' boss revealed in the thunder cloud

oh wait the arms thing was a torn sleeve

i mean we still see ganon corrupting link's arm but also i wanna see more of like how it connects

still horny for ganondorf

can someone give zelda a goddamn break like just fucking let her be with her gnc boyfriend already

[katieskarlette]

Stayed up way too late playing.

Made it to the centaur city, after finding the massive info dumps along the way with the caravan kind of boring.  I think it’s just a letdown after all the dragony goodness in the first zone.  Centaurs have never appealed to me much and it was a lot of information to take in regarding their legends and clans and such.  The zone is pretty, though.  I’ll probably like it more when I meet up with green dragons.

So many gay NPCs!  And a deaf NPC with a sign language interpreter and a service dog...er, animal.  Whatever those were called.  It’s kind of jarring after the scarce representation in the game in the past, but definitely not a bad thing.  (I love how it educates you about not petting service dogs on duty if you click on the dog-thing.  Such a neat touch!)

Leveled cooking and fishing a bit and just flew around finding treasures.

I finally made it back to Stormwind to dump stuff in the bank and AH.  The materials I had collected didn’t sell for as much as new expansion mats normally do.  Did I already miss the window of stupidly inflated prices by waiting until the second day of the expansion to sell stuff?  I hope not.

Anyway, I’m super tired and barely coherent so I’m off to bed, and will give the Oh’whatchamacallit Plains my full attention tomorrow.

[s0ull3ss-p3rs0n]

I have no idea but I just remembered that to me Wyldfyre would speak Dragoni language in a "Scottish" accent (like whatever the fuck would Scottish accent sound like in Dragoni idfk)

Did anyone else initially think Ras was meant to be scottish or something when they watched that first clip of him or am I just Stupid.

[saltminerising]

I usually name my fodder hatches some random collection of letters and syllables which sound vaguely dragony (Deska, Wrix, Zepton, etc) and I’m a little paranoid that one day I’m going to accidentally name a dragon some horrible slur in a language I don’t speak (and that isn’t banned by the filters)

[ashleybenlove]

I’m looking up Britechester on the Sims 4 wiki because I’m thinking about what to do next in my game (I think it’s time to change some stuff up), and I’m discovering that University of Britechester has very dragony names for the dorms (Drake Hall, Wyvern Hall) which... I very much like. 

Though, Foxbury Institute is more STEMy (which is more fitting for Hiccup and Fishlegs, at least).

Foxbury Institute distinguishes in the following degrees: Biology, Computer Science, Economics, Physics, Psychology, and Villainy.

University of Britechester is more humanities.

University of Britechester distinguishes in the following degrees: Art History, Communications, Culinary Arts, Drama, Fine Art, History, and Language & Literature.

Though I still haven’t played with Outdoor Retreat, Jungle Adventure, or Snowy Escape. 

LOL, what if I sent Viggo and Ryker to Foxbury to get a degree in Villainy. I’m pretty sure they’re still in my game lol.

[pokemoncoloursplash]

What language(s) would you most want to learn if you could do it immediately?

The history nerd in me wants to say a dead language like Linear A, but that’s only really useful to historians and nerds like me.

I think I’ll go with Spanish, honestly. Maybe Mandarin.
