Ladies and Gentlemen, Gentlemen, Gentlemen~ Ya boy was right we got a DRAGON!
Tumblr media
Music lyric refs and gloating aside, HOLY SHIT I did not expect them to reveal this in a trailer, we got so much to talk about baby so sit tight, get you some water and a snack and lemme buy you drink~ Anyways, spoilers below OBVIOUSLY;
Tumblr media
Bruh she got it ALL, she got the horns, the three claws just like I was talking about in my post, peep it here if you don't know; https://www.tumblr.com/lovelytayforce/742169202001117184/dragons-among-us-part-2-o-o?source=share Side note: This is obviously one of her forms due to the fact her scales aren't ever shifting to contort to another color/mimic fur and the symbols on her side match, the one's upon her head so GOOD JOB ANIMATORS!! Now, you probably noticed I hesitated to mention her wings and if so, good job you are so observant!! It's because I only know of a select few Chinese dragons who have wings, one of them being a Rain dragon. And funnily enough I was going to make a theory post she was some sort of Guardian, usually one of the Lion Dragons you see protecting Shrines and such in the mainland but this changes everything, Now, onto the Wing Dragon cause I didn't wanna throw information down your throat! Yinglong is the rain diety with wings I was mentioning earlier since most Chinese Dragons are wingless, again my favorite being The Carp who become a Dragon (It's what Magikarp is based on, is it obvious I'm a water type Pokemon lover yet?) I want to believe with the focus on the moon, and her yearning for wanting to uncover all of it's secrets of such an unknown realm, this might be a mix of the two legends. A small Dragon wanting to reach higher heights after being stopped from seeing it time and time again. And Dw I'll link a site with a neat video explaining these concepts for ya below. You know I got you!
Tumblr media
Back to my point, since in most legends it was believed Earth was once populated by animals and Dragons despite being mythical entities can be considered higher animals connected to nature. So, let's piece this together with the carp story; The Chameleon lives upon this land for many, many years but then caught a glimpse of a beautiful new world, told the other dragons (Her Army) about this new world but then were stopped time and time again to getting to that new land, so she tries everything to get there. See what I mean? She is about to make a large leap through all of her efforts despite those trying to stop her. I could go on and on about the connection to the moon but this is a post about Dragons. So, I believe this movie's concept will fall onto another Chinese method of reaching spiritual acceptance which is called Xian especially considering a bunch of bandits are going to be fighting and working hard against, a Master of many styles along with her army. And I believe both sides will explore this concept of Xian; which basically is devoting themselves to one task and mastering it to the point of becoming powerful. Obviously, I am simplifying that a lot. Since they tend to use the word Cultivate in the definition I found personally but I wanted to make it easier to understand. otherwise. I think that's all. I'll link the stuff now but we really in The year of the Dragon baby~ Dragon info: https://www.reptileknowledge.com/reptile-pedia/do-any-chinese-dragons-have-wings#:~:text=What%20is%20the%20winged%20dragon,deity%20in%20ancient%20Chinese%20mythology. Link to Trailer: https://x.com/AvgKFPEnjoyer/status/1761396436724285948?s=20 Link to Xian video, yes its a genshin video but omg is it educational!: https://youtu.be/OUpeSCk2XWQ?si=LMB6S6XAghkWrVoc PEACE!!!!!
