#in this case Price's dragon tail

[gomzdrawfr]

when in doubt, shiny au

[diejager]

It has been in my mind these past few weeks and I just wanna hear your thoughts on it :3 but what would you think about Dinosaur! reader? Since Price is a dragon and in the other fics you’ve made such as the eldritch horror! And that dragons and eldritch horrors are up there being powerful feared/last of their kind creatures in your series, do you think reader coming from a bloodline of the Jurassic era would be considered highly feared/respected too? Especially since dinosaurs being long extinct/been there since the dawn of time.

Imagining the enemy firing at the taskforce and all of a sudden they see a big t-rex charging straight at them or a velociraptor pouncing on the enemy like the "Clever Girl" scene from Jurassic Park. Enemy is like "what da flip I thought you guys went extinct!" 🙉

Dinosaurs are relics, gone extinct since… practically forever, but they share a close genetic pool to dragons. So, on rare - extremely rare - cases where the genes of a dragon twists and turns, a dinosaur is born from such anomaly. A mutation, some would say. Dinosaur hybrids don’t have any distinct feathers like a dragon: they don’t have wings protruding from their backs, a big and pointed tail or horns growing like a crown. Some do, but it’s rare.

And it’s a joy to know one, to have one a part of their team. It just fulfils Soap’s wild dreams of riding on a dinosaur’s back. Satiates Price’s curiosity about a dragon mutation. Entertains Gaz’s small habits and need for a bit of fun. And probably works as a second deterrent towards unwanted stares for Ghost. But the best part? Riding a dinosaur into battle when they’re storming a base loudly and chaotically to seam chaos and destroy any means of escape for the enemy.

SFW Dragon of the East

NOTICE GN Lung Dragon / Eastern Dragon Hybrid Reader

CHARACTER Price X Reader

ADDITIONAL I don't mind Fem/Fem aligned readers reading but don't feel insulted/complain that I strictly don't do Fem reader, not my cuppa tea mate.

INSPIRATION @/Bluegiragi Monster AU on Twt and Tumblr & @/thegnomelord

NOTE I have tried my best to include many traditional aspects of the lung dragon in my own way, and will take any criticism if its not up to date to the history of the actual, lung dragon/chinese dragon culture, although I am asian, input is always perfect.

In the midst of the bustling 141 headquarters, you, had been their newest recruit. A Lung dragon—a different kind of dragon from his European heritage, Price noticed. And whilst there was quite the fascination of a different yet similar species, he couldn't help but find himself intrigued yet lucky. There was something about your calm demeanor and patience that caught Price's attention.

In most cases, dragons are considered fierce, strong, quick, easy to anger, and anything that isn't patient. And yet there you sat, your long, seemingly unscathed scales and beautifully fluffy tail laid lazily across your lap as you spoke to Soap. Not an ounce of anger or aggression to someone so close to you as the usual European dragon would be when first meeting new people.

Curiosity sparked, Price observed you, trying to understand your customs and ways, which seemed a bit different from what Price was used to. You had a knack for being seemingly the most grounded. You words flowed like water and your advice seemed endless. You didn't seem rookie, either, and he wondered for how long you had roamed the earth for, and your presence exuded a sense of tranquility, much like the calm after a rain shower.

Acknowledging their differences, Price aimed to show you his strengths—leadership, courage, and wisdom earned from experience as a way of perhaps, courting you. Testing you, seeing if you would rise to the challenge. He respected your background, trying to learn about the values and traditions that shaped the Lung dragon's approach to life.

Yet in your interactions, Price was surprised when you didnt go against anything he'd bring up to you, opting for agreeing and even adding to his plans, he was left dumbfounded, leaving him as he subtly expressed his admiration for your dedication to the team. While their cultural backgrounds differed, there was a mutual respect growing between them.

Ghost could only watch from a distance a smirk on his lips beneath his balaclava at the way Price's scales would shift as he spoke to you, the way he'd try to puff out his chest a little or even stretch his wings to prove the size of them.

Around the first month, Price noticed your fascination with pearls, large, almost black shiny pearls, he subtly tried to engage in your shared interest, albeit in his own way. He occasionally brought his jewels or rare treasures from his hoard in his office. Almost hoping you might reciprocate or rise to the occasion. When asked, you had called it a "Flaming pearl." Leaving him confused. Had you of blown flame into it? Was it something that was often kept warm? Yet your soft chuckle left him once again, in the dark.

His attempts at courting had backfired in a way, revealing your calm demeanor and willingness to foster understanding rather than competition.

Little had he knew that his attempts were seen by you more then he would have thought. Only smiling at his little attempts.

Slowly, Price began to realize that your approach to courting wasn't about winning or being superior but about mutual respect and cooperation. It dawned on him that your patience and willingness to aid him were gestures of camaraderie and a desire to build a connection rather than engage in a contest would be better. So he went for something softer. After all dragons could he as delicate or as rough as they wanted to.

The way your scales in certain parts would glow, to the way you formed clouds from your breath rather then breathed fire, the way you disappeared into water as if you were, water, made you all the more interesting. Watching even as you sparred, against someone like Soap, your fluid and quick movement, kept you from being hit easily.

In this realization, Price's approach to courting shifted. He began to appreciate your supportive nature, understanding that their connection wasn't about outdoing each other but about nurturing a bond that thrived on mutual respect and understanding, something that be was well familiar with.

Little did he know, that you wanted to court him back, a collection of finely polished pearls from the ocean had been building up in a glass case. Wrapped in a strong, seaweed bow.

The day you had given it to him was during a beach day with the 141, you were all having a late night barbecue. And you had given the case to him, the moonlight illuminating your figure and the warm fire lit up your face. You scales glowing in an intricate pattern. Soft and slow.

He accepted the gift, marveling at the beautifully, perfect yet imperfect pearls.

"Your actions aren't as hidden as you think." You joke, gently cupping his face, you feel his cheek warm up like a blaze, watching as Price turned to the side and coughed out a few puffs of smoke in embarrassment.

You were bad for his health, thats for sure. But with all the cigarettes hes used as a substitute for flame? He'd take you over any kind of drug.

"The Milagros Enmascarados, meaning Masked Miracles, are an open species of cat sized masked dragons that can be created using a mask and something important to the person, which will determine the milagro's appearance. As an example, the milagro below was created using a crystal ball."

"Milagros can't die of old age, instead, they can pass away if their mask breaks. They need to form a connection with someone, otherwise if neglected, their mask will crack with time. If they find someone new however their mask will slowly fix itself, except for a few cracks."

More info:

- A traditional milagro mask looks similar to the one pictured above, with a long snout. Eyes can be open or closed.

- Extra masks are similar to typical ones, except that, like the name implies, they have extra features like two, more or less eyes; have extra details like horns and antenna; etc.

- Masks can also be atypical, having a lot of variety, since the creator can decide the shape.

- Milagros lack a mouth, not even the mask having one (except in extra rare cases, but the mouth is non functional still), but they can project their voices for everyone to hear.

- They can outlive their creators, and as such be without owners, but ultimately need to form a bond with someone.

- Milagros are dragons, but they come in many forms, being able to resemble other beings.

- They are usually similar to either cats or ferrets in personality, attitude and even shape and size.

- The object they were made from and the characteristics of the mask determine, not only their appearance, but their magical abilities. For example, the milagro pictured above, Nyx, that I mentioned was created using a crystall ball can see the future. These abilities are limited however, like Nyx can only predict small occurrences and not see very far off.

- Some of them, like Nyx, can also change the consistency or texture of their body. It's made of glass and can be smooth or sharp at will.

- They usually have ears, three pair of legs with three toes each and a tail. In rarer cases they can have wings, more than one tail or head, detached heads, etc.

As an open species anyone is free to make their own milagro!

You don't have to share with me if you do but I would love to see em!

As a bonus I have some adopt milagros up for sale in my toyhouse! The price has been reduced to $10 to make em more affordable, but buying them is not necessary to get one!

There are also some collab ones for sale on here!

Thanks for reading ^^

Enjoy some cute dragons for Lunar New Year! 🐉🎆 (this was mostly an excuse to draw the idea I had for Lao Mang Lone soup Omi)

And uh…enjoy an angsty story to go with the drawing??? I’m sorry

Under the cut (and also posted here on Ao3)

“What have you done?”

“Come now, what’s with that face?” Hannibal laughed. In his disgusting tendril a child-sized lizard squirmed and thrashed, trying to claw the vine from where it was wrapped tightly around the creature's neck. Chase couldn’t take his eyes off the scene, his own skin rippling in response. “And here I thought I was doing you a favor! Wuya told me all about that convoluted little plan of yours to get this bean sprout on the Heylin side but, well, take it from someone with experience in this kind of thing. Lao Mang Lone really is the easiest way to go.”

“You- I-“ Chase stuttered, for once not knowing what to say. What to do. The tiny lizard snarled, its claws scraping uselessly against the vine, its tail thrashing in agitation. The frills around its head flaring in anger. The thin skin there was torn and bleeding from where the child had clawed himself. Where Omi had clawed himself.

“What’s the matter? Cat got your tongue.” Hannibal mocked, his disgusting laugh echoing around Chase’s atrium. “Or, I guess in this case, lizard? Kid’s pretty cute isn’t he?” He added, lifting Omi fully off the ground, his snarls getting cut off as he choked and only thrashed more. Something that was bound to only hurt the child if not break his neck. Chase made an aborted movement forward to help but hesitated as he saw the tendril tighten threateningly. “Vicious to boot. Should have seen the way he tore through that little temple of his when he ate the soup. Almost as impressive as you! For such a small size, the kid really packs a punch!”

How had Hannibal managed to do this? What had he done to trick Omi into drinking the Lao Mang Lone soup? Had he even known what he was doing? Had he agreed to this? Chase couldn’t imagine a world where Omi drank the soup willingly -a memory flashed into his mind. a glass and iron cage. The scent of Lao Mang Lone in the air. Someone had to drink it if they wanted to escape- No. No. Omi wouldn’t have. Not here. Not now. Not like this.

“This is some sick joke.” Chase snarled, managing to wipe the shocked and distraught surprise from his face. His gaze turned to Hannibal’s disgustingly smug one, Chase finally able to pull his eyes away from the little dragon. “This isn’t real.” It couldn’t be real. This was something else. Hannibal had the Moby Morpher. It had to be a trick. “I don’t know what you are trying to pull-“

“Well now!” Hannibal cut him off, bringing his other tendril to his chest in a fake act of offense. “Is that any way to respond to a gift?! If you don’t want him, well, I could always use another pet.”

Chase felt panic shoot through him at those words, remembering his own time under Hannibal. Being trapped in this early, feral, state of the Lao Mang Lone. Being at the mercy of this disgusting bean. A single claw out of place leading to punishments thousands of times worse than the offense.

Chase clenched his jaw. Trick or not, he couldn’t leave Omi to that fate. Chase knew he had already shown his hand in this. Had shown it ages ago to Wuya when he had been too stupidly secure in the idea that he had managed to lock Hannibal away for good. And now, here he was, back again and having worked Chase into a corner with only one way forward.

“A gift implies he is being given to me for free,” Chase acknowledged, his hand’s fisted tight at his sides, trembling with held-back rage. “But I know you, Hannibal. What is the price of this so-called gift.”

He watched as Hannibal’s decrepit smile grew, showing off his broken and rotting teeth. “Well, now that you mention it, I suppose there are a few things I want…”

[some bonus additional context for the art: I imagine this image is a few months after Omi was transformed and in that time Chase ‘visited’ the temple to make sure that what Hannibal told him was true (it was) and stole the reversing mirror from Spicer to make sure Omi wasn’t just transformed via the Moby Morpher and had something done to his mind (the reversing mirror changed nothing) and then proceeded to check everything to make sure that there was no other possible explanation for this and finally, after he could no longer deny that Omi had truly taken the Lao Mang Lone Soup, he gave Omi more of it to help him start to work towards regaining himself and the above is the outcome. A moment of clarity from his little one. Omi’s still not all there. still has no idea who he is or what he is, but for a second he is no longer feral or hungry and Chase gets this small moment before it eventually slips away.]

fear/trauma headcanons because i want them to suffer

gray and juvia have violent flashbacks whenever they see collars like what invel used

gray is far more violent than juvia

gray is more likely to attack anyone who tries to help him viciously unless its juvia but then hed think she was like the ur that neinhart summoned and will be cautious to the point of weak attacks meant to keep her away

juvia will lash out wildly but eventually will curl into a ball (as a human or as water depends on if she could hear gray) and simply cry. rain is summoned

canonically gajeel views crucification as his worst memories. headcanonically he gets shaky and stuttery and he cant tell if its a panic attack or not but he doesnt really tell anyone bc he thinks he deserves it for what he did to levy jet and droy

natsu gets very anxious around any flame

when natsu was with igneel he would have a complete meltdown whenever he saw fire. made it very difficult to learn yknow fire dragon slaying magic.

after natsu got to fairy tail he was mostly fine with his own flames but like. macao. noooooooo. hell even the fireplace. noooooo no no nonononono

he never knew why until he got some memories unlocked during the alvarez shit. then he still had a fear of uncontrolled fire/his fire becoming uncontrollable

wendy will stay awake all night sometimes, trying to find/cast enchantments that will protect her mind and body from ever being taken over/altered ever again

erza used to get angry whenever she saw any chains. even the tiny ones for a necklace. she got angry to cover her fear of them. a pickaxe also gets her angry

levy will avoid going near long pieces of anything hard. shes scared shell trip and fall and impale herself on them. jet and droy used to be like that but after the 7 years they just became super careful around it

lucy is so close to making a deal with the celestial spirit king to allow gate keys of all kinds to be requip-ible. she doesnt care what the price is she just wants to make sure she will never lose her friends again. unless the price is losing a friend again in which case she might just murder the fucking king

after the last acnologia thing at least gray lucy and happy are afraid of literally Everything when someone's behind them. if the person laughs if they talk if they walk if they trip if they do nothing. they think theyre either being attacked or kidnapped or killed

laxus and erik (maybe sting and rogue too) are scared of lacrima

when the communication lacrima, the only one they ever bothered with, was big enough that youd have trouble carrying it with both hands, they were mostly okay. just had to have it across the room with no one else in the room

after the com lacrima became tiny phones they just. never use it. or if they are forced to then its as far from them as possible. they wont hold it. its great bc if the phone is close to their ear then its way too loud but its terrible bc they have to yell responses unless its another slayer

pantherlily will not go near laxus. if someones holding him and they go to walk past laxus he will get out of their hold and fly in a big circle around him before going back to the persons arms/shoulder/whatever. he knows logically that laxus wont summon thunder just bc lily got close but also big boom noise reminds him of far too many awful things from edolas

carla happy frosch and lector are also scared of thunder. all exceeds are. those four have just been on earth land long enough to know itll most likely be okay. happy has been near laxus enough to know hell just absorb it if it gets close to the guild

cana hates hospitals. even a medical area or something where the injured/sick rest. too many bad experiences there. too much death. it doesnt help that her fortune telling is itching to show how people will be affected by what ails them

all of the dragon slayers have a fear of abandonment. be it their first human families, the dragons (if applicable), the second families (again if applicable), the guilds, the exceeds (you get the gist), friends, whatever. they have been left too often to expect people to stay for any amount of time, but by the gods does it burn when anyone leaves even for a moment

mystogan and porlyusica feared an anima would drag them back to edolas every single fucking day.

now porlyusica fears it, even after they all reassured her mystogan took care of them all.

and mystogan fears that he didnt stop the animas, and hell suddenly have a lacrima of his family back on his doorstep

Continuation of this tending to a stubborn Ice Dragon Slayer of Fairy Tail with @kaito-yuki.

(Previous thread is of Shiro bringing Kaito to Adelha's Apothecaries for healing after a mission gone FUBAR. Matvei and Erlik are on call to help with the ice bath for a stubborn Kaito. Aqua is happy to meet Shiro as the Currier twins see to their guests) Am setting the stage for my own brain to keep track

Matvei snickers with evident amusement to open the first aide kit. Plucking up a purple bottle within the kit to shake it a few times. The potent sensation of magic wafting from the cork of the bottle before Matvei pops the cork off. Soon gently pouring a shimmering amethyst liquid over the cut on Kaito's arm. Which starts to sting like good bourbon to soak into the cut and start neutralizing the toxic in the mage's arm. But there is a rather odd black wisp of smoke pouring slowly from the cut for Matvei to wince. "Yep. S Ranked Missions means poisons and curses aplenty. Figured that was the case. Just stay still and let the cleansing magic in liquid form do it's job."

Erlik flinches at the sight to sigh as Aqua waves her paws at Shiro to hopefully get some extra play time with the adorable little Exceed. While Erlik frowns to speak his mind openly. "Don't ask what is in it. Just be glad that stuff works for almost anything. Think of the discomfort as the price of getting fully recovered from whatever poison would have ruined your veins." Matvei soon gets out the needle and thread to start carefully stitching the cut closed with practiced ease. As if he's done this thousands of times before. The needle actually numbing the skin on Kaito's arm so he doesn't feel any pain from the sewing. "These stitches will react to your magic and fade once the cut is completely gone. We know a certain someone that weaves enchanted thread for such things. So by the time your Guild Master has the chance to take a peek, he won't find anything."

Erlik nods for him to turn his head when the apothecary of the establishment walks up to check on the patient. Her long green dress swishing as she moves for Shiro to scent lavender and ocean spray. As well as Dragon. Not Dragon Slayer like Kaito. But an actual Dragon. Yet Adelha simply looks to Shiro to smile at him with warmth. Her gloved hand soon reaching up to very gently pat the Exceed on the head. "I see our guests are doing all right. To think such a powerful looking tiger would also be a gentle angel. Salmon and red snapper is on the menu today. We may also add shrimp to the menu as well as crab. We learned from previous visits that Fairies have big appetites. Especially young Dragon Slayers. Shiro? Do you like iced tea or fruit punch with your sushi?"

ideal life as a witch/some kind of magic user that lives in a humble forest cottage with all the modern necessities on the outskirts of town and uses magic to create enchanted items and trinkets. (Long post under the cut btw)

Spell/Magic word: Tweek/Edit. Change the item at a cost. Store bought figurines of dragons and other fantastical beasts that through equivilent exchange magic have themselves enhanced. got unrecyclable junk? Use that as matter and energy to add detail to the beings of stone, bringing them from simple sculptures to having such an intricate level of detail you could cut them open and they'd have cells, organs, bones, nerves and muscle, indestingishable from a real living thing yet made entirely of stone. They remain as figurines with impossible levels of detail. When like this it uses less magical energy to have them move and change pose, at night they curl up, close their eyes and tuck in their wings. Also useful for transporting them long distance, want to mail a client one of the little beasts? Make them tuck their wings close to their body, coil their tail around themselves and make themselves as small as possible, less likely to break and snap.

Spell/Magic word: Restore/Heal. Often used before Tweek/Edit to avoid unessisary strain while changing. Putting energy into the object yourself, letting it draw from it's surroundings to heal any damage done to it, useful for mending boxes, torn fabric or simply restoring a well loved toy to how it was when it was brand new. Wear and tear being undone before your very eyes, fabrics fibers snaking out to reach each other and fusing together once more. Can even be as simple as cleaning a surface, your pc absorbing the dust on its surfaces as sustinance to undo the damage of entropy. Maybe even just removing a stain from your favorite shirt. Once the restoration is complete, the object will return to being a regular, unenchanted object.

Spell/Magic word: Self heal. An alternate version of the above spell, this one doing the same things with the difference of the enchantment is permenent, the object will remain magical in nature and continue to heal itself if any further damage is done to it. Good for clothes and tweeks figurines as it removes pressure from the caster to manually cast the spell each time.

There is always a price to these spells, matter must be exchanged so the caster doesn't exhaust themselves magically, thankfully the prices can be pretty cheap if you know what is favoured. -Living matter will always be at the top of the list, you allow some of your own body fat to be consumed? You'll hardly have to rely on your magic reserves. -Dead matter (matter that was once alive but is no longer) also counts towards this, so you can allow objects to draw from your own shedded skin cells and you're good to go! -Byproducts of living things (shed fur from pets, hair from you, poop if you're really lazy) are also pretty high on the list, this also means things like cows milk are pretty lucritive to use. It's also a nice treat for the enchanted figurines, allows for higher magic reserves. -Matter that was never alive (waste plastic, dirt and dust and many other processed materials) are the last matter teir, but some can still be very lucritive to use.

Spell/Magic word: Create. The most costly of the spells listed, this one allows you to fundamentally change the makeup and state of matter and turn it into a new object. Say you wanted a custom case to store a poster in, you would gather enough matter from other objects into one place, cast, and then you'd be able to change that matter into a case for the poster. It isn't like sculpting or drawing, if you think it, it will be projected onto the matter.

The Price May Be Right - Number 18

Welcome to “The Price May Be Right!” I’m counting down My Top 31 Favorite Vincent Price Performances & Appearances! The countdown will cover movies, TV productions, and many more forms of media. Today we focus on Number 18: Irontail, from Here Comes Peter Cottontail!

Whenever one thinks of the holiday specials of Rankin/Bass, one typically remembers their multitude of animated Christmas cartoons, such as “Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer,” “Frosty the Snowman,” and “The Year Without a Santa Claus.” However, Christmas was not the only holiday Rankin/Bass played with. They also did several specials related to Easter, for example. By far the most famous of these Easter specials was “Here Comes Peter Cottontail!”

In this Easter classic, Vincent plays the role of a villainous rabbit by the name of January Q. Irontail. He is the scourge of the otherwise peaceful April Valley: a magical place that is to Easter Bunnies what the North Pole is to Santa Claus. It’s revealed that, years ago, this black bunny had his tail skated off by a careless child. He had it replaced with an iron bell, and this – apparently – is the reason he has become “a terrible, wicked, nasty rabbit” by the time the story begins. Irontail is the sworn nemesis of the titular Peter Cottontail (played by Shaggy himself, Casey Kasem); when he learns that Peter is about to become Chief Easter Bunny, he plots a scheme to take the role from him, so that he can remake the holiday in his own horrible image. Funnily enough…Irontail actually succeeds! A combination of Peter’s own faults and Irontail’s trickery leads to Irontail ending up the one who gets the promotion. However, thanks to the help of the magician Seymour Sassafrass, and a caterpillar named Anton (both played by Danny Kaye), Peter is able to use a time machine called the Yestermorrowbile (yes, really) to try and fix things. Irontail is wise to Peter’s own plan, however, so he proceeds to do everything in his power to prevent Peter from reversing things, which leads to a chase across the calendar into every single holiday. I’m just going to come out and say it right now: while Vincent Price was known for being a hammy actor (even by his own admission), this is by far the single most over-the-top performance I think he EVER gave. This is Price’s equivalent to Jeremy Irons in “Dungeons & Dragons,” or Tim Curry in “Freakazoid!” It’s a performance so completely and utterly INSANE that it becomes absolutely spellbinding in its wild intensity. Price isn’t just chewing the scenery behind the microphone, he is ripping it into bloody chunks and gulping them down whole. I am astonished the studio he was recording in didn’t just EXPLODE from the sheer level of lunacy he puts into every single SYLLABLE he utters throughout this whole special. It’s largely due to Price’s zany yet diabolical performance that Irontail becomes as memorable as he does. He’s easily one of my favorite villains from the Rankin/Bass canon: how many other Easter specials give you a villain who makes allusions to Poe (and kind of looks like a rabbity version of the guy, now that I think about it), and lets out peals of maniacal laughter while roaring at the top of his lungs, “THOSE EGGS ARE DONE FOR!!!” One way you can tell what Price did for the role is by looking at the (awful) sequel-by-the-same-name, which came out in 2005. By then, of course, Price was long gone. So, who did they get to play the role of the utterly demented bunny? Bond himself, Roger Moore, who plays the character with totally cool and calm sophistication. Normally, I would be okay with this, but in the case of Irontail? NOPE. YOU FAIL. Tomorrow, the countdown continues with Number 17!

New Year's Eve at the Kennedy's

2130

John and Kate arrived at the Kennedy’s. Price wore a nice suit with a themed bowtie, little fireworks sparkled against the black silk. Laswell too donned a suit, almost matching her work husband’s, although the jacket itself sparkled gently in the moonlight. A last minute plan hatched as her wife had fallen ill (PCOS hurting too much to leave home). The two came in a humvee “borrowed” from the motorcade. Ever the gentleman, Price extended his arm for Laswell, who happily took it. 

He carried a few nice bottles of champagne, she brought sparklers.

2145

Rune and Kyle parked behind the humvee, the deep blue McLaren 570S caught the attention of the neighbours. Kyle held the passenger door open for his boyfriend, cracking gentle little jokes while Rune grabbed his phone from the center console. Rune stepped out, his outfit further confusing the neighbours. White, flowy top, sleeves big enough to put a small child inside, high waisted pants, and a half dozen straps to keep the pants and boots in place. An odd choice for a New Year’s party. The strappy black fit that Gaz wore did not turn as many heads, perhaps due to the night having long fallen. Ashame, the neighbours would have seen the cropped jacket and thigh harness. Kyle was so excited to be out for the night, the couple having picked the outfits out for each other. They bumped their foreheads together and shared a laugh before walking in, boot heels clicking against the pavement.

They both brought in boxes of cookies. Homemade and delicious.

2220

Riley was not normally late to things, but here she was, Johnny sitting shotgun, Simon tailing them on his bike, almost an hour late to the party. Somehow she forgot the drinks she bought for the party and wound up needing a pitstop. She stepped out of her Porsche, popping off the steering wheel before smoothing out her sparkly dress. As she grabbed a few things out of the backseat, the neighbours were quick to notice her companion’s… outfit of choice. Both of them actually. The shorter one wore a black suit jacket with a matching kilt (the pleats lined with his family’s tartan), the tall one was violently underdressed. Just slacks and a black button up (and a motorcycle helmet which he shucked to let Riley brush his hair). Ghost added a sleek body chain, which Riley had brought in her car, to his ensemble. He kissed both Riley and Soap on their cheeks before sliding on a dark face mask.

Johnny carried in the cooler full of liquor, Riley carried her steering wheel and two plates. One of brownies and one of “brownies”. And Simon brought up the rear with his helmet and case of water in hand.

2230

Ghost caught sight of Axi and just about lost his composure (truthfully everyone did). Her little, sparkly dress barely hanging on. She waved him over to her, everything threatening to spill out. Who was he to deny her a conversation?

Simon having walked off left Riley and Johnny to mingle without him. Which was easy enough, almost everyone else was already a little hammered. Price threw his arms around the couple, dragging them towards the couch where he, Laswell, Rune, and Kyle were hanging out.

2300

Riley found herself delightfully crossfaded. As did Kyle. And as did Leon. The brownies hit hard and fast. Price and Laswell were already passed out, his head in her lap. Johnny stayed just gently buzzed, enjoying how the others were losing their shit at the tales Rune was spinning.

Rune found himself reciting old missions, making up others, for the entertainment of his far from sober friends. The one that got the most uproar was the tale of how he slayed a dragon, weirdly everyone seemed to believe him. Not questioning how similar the story seemed to the opening scene of Skyrim.

2340

Riley answered a skype call request on her phone. Alex and Farah were a little grainy but they did their best to wish the task force a “Happy New Year!” a few minutes early. The crew shouted the words back, stirring Price and Laswell from their slumber.

With the phone to reality communication, the friend group grew larger as Axi and Simon returned in time to  have Price get a call from Nik, the same message being relayed. The now phone to phone to irl conversation lasted a few minutes longer, the skype call’s quality dropping quickly. 

They all quickly said their goodbyes, raising glasses and snacks to good friends in good places.

2358

Stumbling a bit, everyone made their way outside, the cold snap of the Canadian air sobering them up a bit. Laswell passed out sparklers and lighters. Axi supplied party hats and goofy glasses.

2359

The countdown began. Kyle and Rune yelled the loudest, trying to outdo each other, holding hands and drawing closer as the numbers decreased. 

Kate and John clinked their champagne glasses together, joining the chant.

Riley and Soap sat in the grass, watching their sparklers from a Riley-safe distance. He sat behind her, firmly clasping her against his chest, both mouthing the numbers.

Simon stood with Axi and Leon, his fingers gently intertwining with the others’. Axi squeezed his hand in time with the countdown. Leon, very bad at rhythm, squeezed in between the counts.

0000

Kyle and Rune shared a gentle little kiss, tender and sweet, just like the boyfriends themselves.

Price gave Laswell a nice hug before she sent her wife many kissy emojis.

The Scot pressed his cheek against the Bakerite’s as she watched a few fireworks shoot off in the distance. She rubbed circles on his hands with her thumbs. 

Ghost whispered something to Axi and Leon as they kissed, a dirty secret he hoped would fall on deaf ears.

0900

The group awoke from their shitty slumber as the Kennedy’s dishwasher signaled it was done. Rune and Kyle had taken up refuge in the couch cushion fort they had built sometime in the night. Rune found himself grasping Tofu, who Axi had let out of the bedroom when going to bed, as he usually held his plushies. The dog did not mind one bit. 

Price and Laswell woke up in two different guest bedrooms. They slept the best of the task force.

Riley and Johnny found themselves in… the master bedroom? Not dwelling on it, Riley got out of the bed and headed to the kitchen to fix up a breakfast, finding herself to be completely sober. Soap fell back to sleep for a few more minutes, his hangover hitting hard.

1015

Axi, Leon, and Simon stumbled into the main house having spent the night in the mother-in-law suite behind the house. Riley quickly handed them all glasses of orange juice, ibuprofen, and  plates of pancakes and breakfast patties. They joined the others in the couch fort in silent enjoyment.

Riley had turned the lights down low, avoiding eye pain (and keeping everyone from seeing what a hot mess they all were), and had thrown on the Rose Parade on low volume. She grabbed a few of the cookies Rune and Kyle had made before settling down in the fort too.

1045

Cozy and warm, the task force found themselves drifting off to sleep once more.

I think the reason why (to me at least) magic in Dragon Ball coming as a shock in-universe works while in RWBY doesn't is not only how rae Magic is in Dragon Ball (i can count in one hand the amount of ACTUAL magic users in that story), but also how different it is from Ki.

While Magic in RWBY is indeed very different from Aura... It kinda feels similar to Dust & Semblances. In fact, a lot of people, myself included, have a habit of not being able to tell whenever Cinder is using her Semblance: Scorching Caress or is using her actual magic abilities given how similar they are, not helped by the fact that she ONLY uses Fire magic despite having no in-universe reason to not use any other elements.

It's not like Avatar or Fairy Tail where each magic user (or bender, in ATLA's case) is restricted to a single element with the exception of the REALLY powerful ones... Then again, this criticism applies to all maidens, there's no real reason for them to be as restrictive as they were since we've seen them use more elemental spells, but chose not to for... Reasons...

Getting back on track, i find it Ironic how WEISS was the one who said Magic couldn't exist... & Not only are her examples kinda bad given how similar Dust & some semblances are to Magic in terms of visuals & practicality, but also because of Weiss' Semblance herself.

The thing about Semblances is that they only give you ONE ability. You can do A LOT of things with that ability, but it's still just ONE ability. Weiss (& by extension, the other schnees) is the exception to that rule, The Glyph Semblance basically gives her 4 to 5 abilities for the price of one. She can create platforms with her Glyphs, but she can also shoot projectiles with it, bind people in a single place, make either herself or other people much faster, enhance Dust to an absurd level & when awakened, she can summon Ice Familiars... The Glyph Semblance might as well be magic, given all of the crazy shit you can do with it.

The only other Semblance that breaks that "One Ability" would be Neo's Semblance, which, while still broken, is nowhere NEAR as busted or versatile as Glyphs are. No wonder Weiss barely uses this Semblance properly after V2, it's just THAT broken.

Now as to whether or not the rules are convoluted or not... The answer is no, it's not convoluted. It IS a little weird how they first treated it as this impossible thing when most of the stuff in their world is already similar to magic in some way, but to call it convoluted would be inaccurate in my opinion.

The only thing that's "convoluted" is the Cinder example i gave, but that's less convoluted & more of the show not doing a good job differentiating the 2 given, again, how similar Scorching Caress is to Cinder's magical abilities

Explaining the RWBY Magic System

Tonight we're comparing RWBY system of "magic" to other shows to help explain that no, RWBY does not have a convoluted system of magic. We'll be splitting it into 3 sections. 1. Aura/semblance 2. Dust 3. Magic in the show

Now then, let's start with the most well-known and old shounen. Dragon Ball and Dragon Ball Z. In that franchise, Ki, a life energy, like Aura, is NOT magic. And the techniques that come from using Ki, like Semblances, are not magic. But Magic does exist in the show. And it is shown to have its own strengths and weaknesses.

Dust....not magical, not life energy. Its the unobtanium that is an energy source and does more than that. How many shows, anime or cartoon or otherwise, are shown to have some sort of fictional element that does more than just serve as an energy source?

So what makes RWBY "convoluted?"

Weiss: There's no such thing as magic.

Goku from Dragon Ball uses Ki, but its not magic, he uses supernatural martial arts and can fly...but again, that's not magic.

And he and the Z fighters get surprised by actual magic.

So what makes Weiss being surprised something for critics to get upset about?

Then we have the magic itself.

Like Dragon Ball , magic is not superior nor inferior to martial arts or semblances. It varies on wielders and on its use.

Therefore, when people say that RWBY's Magic system is "Too convoluted" or "too complicated"....they do so while completely ignoring every other show out there. Because to "Criticize" RWBY, you pretty much have to ignore everything in every other show or claim it doesn't matter in order to have a point.

Miss Kobayashi’s Dragon Maid AU | Dragon Butler! Malleus x Reader

Note: I'm not really a fan of this anime, BUT when this idea visited my head, I was just "why not, I have to write it"

After a hard workday, you have some drinks with your coworkers. But having drunk too much, for some reason you find your way in the forest and mountains, instead of going home or taking a taxi. In any case, walking around, you bump into something, or rather someone. That someone is a big, black-scaled dragon with beautiful green eyes. But you're too drunk to attach any importance to the fact that you're holding a conversation with a giant fire-breathing serpentine or to the fact that this dragon is real.

You are complaining about your life and work. Especially work, which is quite difficult. It takes away all your spirit and will to keep order in your apartment. The dragon seems to be quite happy to just listen to you. And being drunk, you invite the dragon over.

The next morning, you wake up with a migraine and a hangover. But you have to go to work anyway. So after getting ready, you open the front door and meet face to face with a muzzle of the dragon.

In a mere of seconds, the dragon has transformed into a handsome young man. but there is something in his appearance that sets him apart from the rest of the men: there's a pair of ebony horns on his head, pointed ears, cat-like green eyes and a tail behind his back; and he’s super tall. He's already wearing a butler suit as if he has stolen it from a real victorian butler.

The man introduces himself as Malleus Draconia and says that when you appeared before him and asked him to be your butler, something warm lit inside him. He really enjoyed your company, and he wants to continue to be near you.

He assures you that he doesn't need any money for his work; your attention and friendship (and something more?) are a sufficient price for him.

Malleus is a hard working and attentive butler; he learns everything quickly and already keeps in mind all your likes and dislikes. He takes good care of your household, treating it as a fortress or even his own cave.

He's a good cooker as well! While using his magic, he waltzes in your kitchen and cooks your favorite dishes. He also loves to spoil you with some sweets that he bakes himself!

One thing that he's bad with is technology. You have to spend a lot of time explaining to him the basics of using a phone or even how to turn on the computer. The dragon easily panics and gets angry when he fails with some simple tasks that require using technology, so that he prefers using his magic; he uses his fire-breathing to heat up food or bake instead of using an oven, or with a snap of his fingers, the room is clean instead of using the vacuum cleaner.

The worst thing about the previous fact is that Malleus uses his own saliva to do the laundry instead of using the washing machine. Even if you complain about it and beg him to use the washing machine, he continues to lick your clothes until they are all clean.

Malleus goes on foot to the market to buy everything needed. At first, you were afraid of how people would react to him due to his appearance. But it has turned out that people at the market aren't afraid of him and actually adore Malleus. They just think that he's a cosplayer or something. Bonus points to his handsomeness. So almost all sellers know about Malleus and are friendly toward him, and even hold some casual conversation with him whenever he comes to the market. Malleus seems to love that time of the day, because it's the first time he can freely talk to people without them tremble in fear before him.

Malleus absolutely loves your scent. He breathes the scent of the clothes you were wearing. He doesn't want to look creepy, but your scent is so intoxicating. He happens to be touchy around you, and when hugging you, he buries his nose into the crook of your neck and inhales the aroma of you.

Malleus loses the track of time quite often, but he tries to make you be punctual. So if you happen to be late for work, Malleus will give you a ride on his neck/back and bring you to your workplace pretty quickly.

Dragons are possessive creatures, and Malleus is no exception. He's quite jealous of the fact that you spend time with other humans, even if they are your coworkers. He keeps a close eye on the people you're hanging out with; he gives them a dirty look or even hisses if they dare to make a wrong move toward you. You are his human, and Malleus is your butler, there’s no place for any other people.
