Can we get Dimentio from Super Paper Mario? He's one of my FAVOURITE lil shits out there

And bonus Super Dimentio for the kicks (the fucked up fusion between Dimentio, Luigi and the Chaos Heart)

Or as i like to call it sometimes, Soup (i just want to see what you'd write for dimentio normally, simply felt like attaching a bonus for the funsies)

just reawoke from hibernation but the no twofers rule still stands. so i will just do dimentio, but if i did super dimentio i would make him an eldritch horror

This entity appears to be made entirely of countless pieces of folded paper, essentially being a gigantic piece of origami that can move of its own accord. Most of the pieces of paper that comprise its body are black in color, and its 'hands' are not actually attached to its body but instead move alongside it. The pieces of paper on its body that aren't black in color are either glossy in appearance or covered in glitter and/or sequins. Its neck, wings and upper body are comprised of lavender and light yellow pieces of paper arranged in stripes, and from the back of its head sprouts a series of paper 'horns' that almost look like a jester's hat. Three of the 'horns' have small metal bells attached to them. It lacks eyes, a nose and a mouth, and in their place is a harlequin mask taped to the place where its nostrils should be.

When it moves, it does so with an almost ethereal grace. Despite being made entirely of paper, it is not as vulnerable to fire as one might think. Its breath weapon is a spray of high-velocity sequins that can tear a man to shreds at point-blank range. It is also highly versed in the magic arts, and it uses this skill to great effect both on the battlefield and out.

Ohhhh boy here I go again with this

This “dragon” can barely be classified as such. It is a great, hulking thing the size of a bus and made almost entirely of a black, tar-like material. Said material seems to drain the life of anything near it. Plants wither and small animals die just by being near this thing. The only thing that isn’t made of this material is its large single eye, which sits inside its mouth. It cannot fly. Its breath weapon is more of the same tar-like substance that makes up the rest of its body, only boiling hot. This boiling variant of the substance emits a kind of nerve gas as it boils.

Give this creature a wide berth. It is not where it belongs, and carbon-based life is incompatible with its presence.

Had the thought of what if Manfred really just pantomimes normally, but because The Lighthouse is in the Fade, he can while they’re in there?

So like a critical component of understanding team green and Alicent’s motivation for pushing their claim is completely lost on this fandom because of the fact that it’s so irrelevant nowadays that we wouldn’t even consider it.

But like…for most of human history marriages, especially aristocratic marriages, were binding social contracts that were meant to provide benefits and incentives to both parties. The woman would perform her wifely duties of bearing heirs (sons), child rearing, emotional (and physical - sometimes against her will unfortunately) support, and generally running the household in domestic affairs. And in exchange for these labors and quite frankly difficult and at times harmful tasks the woman was provided with safety from the outside world, all her needs being taken care of, and her children being the heirs. And a woman’s son being the heir means consistent protection into her old age when her often much older husband eventually died.

There was a purpose to marriage outside of love and ambition. But because we are privileged enough to live in a more modern society where marriage is a personal contract for which the technicalities can be selected by both individuals to ensure security and happiness, we cannot really even consider that once upon a time in the not so distant past there was a clear purpose. The man got sons/heirs and the woman got sons/protectors to care for her in her old age.

So when Alicent pushes for her son she has a plethora of reasons: believing in tradition, protecting the lives of her children who have competing claims, consolidation of suffering, etc. But she has one very clear and very reasonable reason that nobody acknowledges. She delivered on her part of the bargain and contract and she wants to collect what she is owed. She produced the sons, she gave the emotional and physical support (against her genuine will), she reared the children, she ran the household domestically and the entire kingdom. She did “everything expected of her forever upholding the kingdom, the family, and the law”. And now it’s time for her to collect her dues now that her much, much older husband is dead. To have her son be king and to be taken care of into her old age.

That is the contract she agreed to. That is the contract almost every woman in history agreed to. I give you a son and I get comfort and security when you (the husband) die and my son becomes the heir.

So I can go on and on about the personal, psychological reasoning that Alicent has that are all perfectly valid. But I don’t have to because at the end of the day she did her part of this marital obligation and contract and she deserves to receive her rewards.

Webber from Don’t Starve

back from my hibernation

here is your absolute truckload of spiders

At first glance, this entity seems like a regular dragon. However, when you get close enough to it, you immediately see that this draconic form is nothing but a guise. The dragon's "skin" is actually made of debris like pine tree leaves, dead leaves, sticks, rocks, snake skin, bones, dead insects, shed dragon scales, litter and dried mud. All of it seems to be held together by what looks like spider silk, which also composes its wing membranes. Its 'head' is decorated with pieces of sharp glass that give the impression of teeth and the being can even create a 'mouth' to complete the illusion. Eight lightbulbs of various make also emerge from its 'head' to give the impression of eyes. Four large branches jut out from the sides of its 'head' to give off the illusion of antlers, and between the branches there are countless spiderwebs. Wherever there is exposed spider thread, you can see at least ten spiders crawling around to maintain the being's shape. And whenever it chooses to create a 'mouth' and open it, you can see even more spiders inside its body. And there must be millions of them...

Too heavy to fly, the creature moves slowly and deliberately like some kind of machine. If it is damaged, countless spiders crawl from the 'wound' to gather debris to patch the opening. Instead of a breath weapon, when it opens a 'mouth' to feed, even more spiders emerge from the opening and crawl all over the chosen target, delivering countless bites to the hapless victim. Once said victim is dead or immobilized by the venom, the spiders drag the unfortunate target back into the main body of the entity to feed both themselves and their larvae.

Gonna do my first YFCaD reblog dragon before I go to bed

These strange dragon-like creatures look as though they were at first created in laboratories, but bred true and have since become a prosperous species. Usually, only their piercing white eyes can be seen peering out from the darkness. Though clearly vertebrates, their dark red, scaleless skin has the same texture as birch tree bark, especially near the ‘wings’, elbows and crest. Said ‘wings’ are leaf-like outgrowths of cartilage and nervous tissue that have photosynthetic properties. Similar outgrowths run down the length of its neck and end just below the shoulder blades, and this crest can be made to stand up as a form of intimidation.

Where a dragon’s actual wings would be sits a pair of massive, disturbingly human-like arms with claws at the tips of the fingers. The dragon’s actual arms are used purely as manipulatiory appendages (and this trait makes them infamous for breaking the necks of the inattentive), using its ‘armwings’ and back legs to walk in an almost gorilla-like fashion.

Its breath weapon, if you could really call it that, is a single barbed needle that is fired from a hole on the end of its otherwise mouthless head. This barb is laced with a venom so potent that it can kill humans and other large animals in under five seconds.

the bracken from lethal company? i think it would be cool

it makes me laugh when I go on twitter or tiktok and see people complaining that alicent and rhaenyra were the only two posters to be released first because it’s just like….people still don’t want to acknowledge that this is THEIR story at the end of the day. everything in this plot revolves around these two women and their relationship with each other. everyone is simply a side player to their show

Prompt 258

Halfas are like selkies. Or more like they’re similar to many animal spouses of myths and legends, trapped in (mostly) human forms should they lose their cloak. 

That at least, Vlad warned Danny about within the first time of realizing what the other was. It’s a line neither will cross- not even the timeline where Dan came into being. An unspoken acknowledgement of not crossing such a boundary no matter what happened. 

Even after his parents’ deaths. After Jazz’s near-death and coma. 

It’s not exactly something Danny thinks of, really, especially not that he’s now survived highschool and practically moved across the country. Not to mention the fact he has Ellie and Jordan to care for. But it definitely comes to mind the moment Dan- only five at the moment- screams for him. And he’s not going to let anything happen to his kids

Had to doodle it. Inquisitor really out here swapping out those skintight beige inquisition pjs for skintight tevinter pjs… 😂

I was thinking about HTTYD, as one does, and had an epiphany that I wanted to share. I highly doubt that the Vikings of HTTYD, or at the very least the Archipelago, had any basis of ableism at all. Because half of them have lost limbs to dragon attacks, it’s so common place and the raids were so bad that anyone and everyone pitched in regardless of whether they had all four limbs or not. And so it never became a thing where people who were disabled were considered incapable (just want to clarify that I do NOT think that at all, in any way shape or form) because it was not only common but impractical to think that.

Like, I was thinking about it harder, and I don’t remember even an episode where someone even insinuated that Hiccup or Gobber couldn’t help or do something because they were disabled. Like, dragons basically stopped ableism by biting a bunch of people’s limbs off until it was normal to know or be someone that was missing something.
