took a page out of moon's book and started playing around with the idea of illustrated icons but i am Unsure

// I know I've touched on this subject before somewhere on this blog but; Freed + anti magic particles/devil particles.

It wouldn't surprise me if Freed had a slightly better resistance to them than the others most other wizards. Not much but slightly. As the situation unfolded he was quicker to react and cover his mouth in comparison to his team mates (and Laxus obviously but he sucked the damn particles in on purpose) but he was still talking and he was yelling out Laxus' name in desperation at the end of this. He definitely breathed them in a lot of them as well, that much becomes clear when we see him in the infirmary at the latest.

For the longest time was still standing. He was clearly affected, the particles were so close to being lethal to all four of them. But somehow Freed managed to not only get himself dragged home to their guild but Laxus, Evergreen and Bixlow as well. How did he manage this while begin on the verge of death himself, we do not know. It must have cost so many nerves and so much strength. Seeing his dearest people dying, suffering himself and getting them home somehow. Because he just has to.

He was still awake and able to talk when he was in the infirmary, at least for a good bit.

So did he really just breathe in so much less or does he have a slight resistance in fact?

We do not know but I'm gonna headcanon it to be the latter. Freed does have a slight resistance towards devil particles.

And I could imagine this to be the case because of his Dark Écriture. I've always thought that Dark Écriture, or any sort of eye magic for that matter, isn't something you just... learn. It would not surprise me if he got involved with it by reading a specific book, maybe even a book that is in relation to Tarators in one way or another? It's a forbidden book of dark magics and materials for sure. It sort of possesses you, chooses you as its wielder. Magic such as his revolving around giving its wielder advantages such as wings and teleportation whilst making his target live through hell by direct mental and pyhsical torture and death is not out there to learn for anybody available. And he's gotten two different demonic forms as well, Absolute Shadow and Darkness.

So yes. Freed's got slight resistance to devil particles because of his magic but the amount that was spread and the fact that it was caused by one of the Tartaros demons directly still affected him in a way that follows him to present day.

Nightmares and, at rare times, the damage his lungs have taken comes to surface and he has struggles breathing properly.

my little new icon template that i think i vibe with.

[creative-robot]

Dearest mutual Chess! It has been so long since I have seen picrews from you! Do you have any up your sleeve?

MARZI………

I had to go back and see when the last time I posted any of those Picrew spams actually was, I know it’s been a while but I hadn’t thought it’d been OVER A YEAR AGO? I had no idea it’d been that long, and there’s probably piles of reasons why that I won’t get into, but mostly, oh my gosh.

Getting this ask actually does mean a whole lot to me, I didn’t actually think anyone had noticed or particularly cared about my silly little way of saving picrews I’d made into me’s to clear up phone space or the little thoughts I’d put as the captions, and I do actually have a little bit of a backlog of some (as far back as last June). I haven’t been playing around on Picrew quite as much as I used to, but you know what? I still get on sometimes so

Just for you Marzi, I think it’s a good ol’classic picrew spam kinda night

Hot take

Night furies are actually perfectly evolved for hunting and killing other dragons and the only reason they aren't a dragon-hunting species like the death song or deathgrippers are is because DreamWorks couldn't have their adorable main character dragon be a "cannibal"

(below I'm gonna try to summarize what we've figured out in a convo with friends on discord)

(also tw animal death via predator)

First of all yes I'm aware that pretty much every decision made about their design was with consideration of the effect it would make on human audiences but hear me out

Night furies are most iconically known as dive-bombers. They are built for speed, high maneuverability, night-time camouflage and for striking targets from above. If we remove human settlements out of the equation (which would not have existed long enough to actually influence night fury evolution, come on), what does that leave us with?

They aren't built for catching fish for sure, they aren't very hydrodynamic and their head is round, wide, and their teeth are dull. Honestly, the monstrous nightmare is much better suited for catching fish, with its long neck, almost pelican-like jaw and rhamphorhynchus teeth

Compare to

Yeah the jaws look kinda like a porpoise of some sort but for that the whole body would have to be a lot more aquatic imo. The light fury looks a lot closer to an aquatic diver, it has a sleeker body, rounded fins instead of spikes, and a long neck.

I don't really see them hunting land animals either, they just don't look like they're adapted for that minus the resemblance with large felines and even then, they're too large to effectively hunt in forests.

The one thing I can kinda imagine them hunting is large mainland megafauna, but we're working with a setting that takes place pretty much exclusively on islands. And overall, dragons are the only abundant species there with the exception of fish and human-bred sheep and chickens.

In general, night furies have duller teeth, smaller claws and are smaller than most dragons. Disregarding the movies making Toothless weirdly OP, a night fury would be disadvantaged against most dragons in a 1v1 fight and besides, it has four huge weak spots that would highly discourage it from a direct physical fight - the primary and secondary tail fins. One unlucky rip in the membrane and the night fury is fucked.

The night fury however noticeably resembles falcons, given their dive-bombing ability and high maneuverability.

Falcons too have smaller beaks and weaker claws compared to most birds of prey, and for that they compensate by simply picking up speed, balling up their talons and Punching. Really. Hard.

And they use that ability to kill other birds, even much larger ones, by knocking them right from the sky.

Here, the night fury's plasma blast works the same way as a falcon's punch. Dragons are fire-resistant, so what the plasma blast does is really just a densely packed bolt of energy that has the effect of either stunning or outright killing prey by damaging its spine. And what the plasma bolt doesn't do, rapid contact with the ground would finish. And if even that doesn't do it, the night fury's wide jaws and dull teeth are just fine for simply clamping around the unlucky dragon's neck and strangling it, like a lion or a pitbull.

The night-time camouflage allows the night fury to soar for extended periods of time perfectly unnoticed in the night sky, and by the time it strikes, the dragon wouldn't even know what's coming.

Unless

Say the hunting night fury is aware of other dragons sleeping under the trees, as most dragons probably would at night (village raids aside, most dragons seem to be diurnal), so how does the night fury get them in position where it can use its signature attack? Well, there's That Iconic Screech Of Death. Since in the movies it tends to appear not just during dive-bombings but also when charging up a blast, I imagine it's something the night fury is able to control to some degree. So by simply fake-diving in close proximity to sleeping dragons, it can effectively terrify them into leaving their hideout and fly out into the open where it can easily take them out.

I dunno, the possibility of night furies as predators to other dragons just makes so much sense to me, I really don't know what other reasons there would be for them to evolve these particular adaptations.

And one more little headcanon to add to this whole rant - since night furies are significantly smaller and less equipped for dragon vs dragon fights and are primarily speed-based predators, I imagine there is this very likely scenario:

There is one dragon who resembles a hyena, a lil bit

Ok, rant over
