The Week Before Warror’s Way

Watcher set down the plate he had been washing.

His brain felt bubbly from the constant stream of choirs this week. To clear it he looked out to his crowded inn.

Most of the ricky tables were filled with dragons of all sorts. A young Wildclaw was describing a far fetched series of events to an awestruck Ridgeback. There was a dark red Spiral brooding in the corner. And a older Imperial couple sat quietly eating in the center.

Despite all their differences these dragons were all here for the same reason: Warrior's Way.

Warrior's Way was a ten day long event were dragons tested their metal and battled various foes. Whether it was a spar between themselves or grappling with shade-touched beasts.

Many also used this to train to go into the service of one of the Gods. That was the goal of the dragons crowding Watcher's inn. They were those who seeked to serve the Arcanist and so had holed up here to wait for the right time.

"May I help?"

Watcher looked down to see a young copper Spiral beaming up at him. "Oh, thank you Leoline but that's alright. I'm almost done anyway."

"Okay! Let me know if you need help!" Leoline chirped before bouncing off undoubtedly to bother one of the guests.

Unlike the others, Leoline had no intention of going into the service of the Gods. At least not yet. He was from a long line of travelers and planned on seeing as much of Sornieth as possible. Clan Unseelie had been his first stop. In fact he'd arrived when he was only a hatchling.

Watcher chuckled as he returned to the dishes and remembered that day. The inn was almost empty at that time so Watcher was simply puttering about doing nothing when a knock came at the door.

Standing there was the Gaoler that guarded the gates, with a tiny Spiral hatchling in his paw. He shoved the hatchling into Watcher's claws and went back to his post without a word.

After getting over the surprise Watcher got the little one settled. He had worried that this would be overwhelming for such a young dragon.

But little Leoline had taken to the life easily. He helped in the inn where he could and would quiz the other guests endlessly about their own travels.

It likely wouldn't be long before the Spiral sent off on his next journey.

The thought of it made Watcher tempted to figure out how to make Leoline stay...but no. He couldn't. Leo had been preparing for his whole life for this. It wasn't Watcher's place to try to stop that.

Though it would not stop the Obelisk from hoping that someday the youngling would come back someday.

can you tell I like tagging...?

A popular blogger getting into HikaGo, huh… That’s exciting!! I hope more people will see what a beautiful series this classic is :)

This might be a good time for me to remind folks of my Hikaru no Go web shrine. It’s an ongoing WIP, but currently includes translations, character bios, links to useful resources (including where to read/watch), free-to-use graphics, and info on the video games!!

Also, I’ve said this before but: if you’re a romhacker who’s interested in working with me on translations of the Hikaru no Go games, please please please get in touch! These games are way more than just go simulators, and I’d love to be able to bring them to an English-speaking audience, but the hacking side of things is just not in my ability (trust me I’ve tried)

[saltminerising]

Okay, I need to talk about this. A blacklist system in the form that people are requesting it is not simple. At all.

First off the blacklist system for just site images would only realistically extend to just to items in your hoard (or lairs for dragon images) or in the database. What about the items showing in coli/bios/forums/tab info? As far as I'm aware those don't pull info from personal player settings, just their main database. There would need to be a system that checks all of those for your supposed blacklisted items. There is no 'it just blurs the image' here. There's a 'we would need to make an entire extra triple layer cake of code to check everything' or 'the basic blacklist blurring exists but only on these three areas and is visible everywhere else.'

And suppose they do all that, every bit of it and all that effort. It still won't matter. Forums, clan pages, dragon bios, all these allow for custom images. I could save a photo of my dragon that falls under someone's blacklist, slap that into imgur, and put it in the bio. Maybe I wanted to photoshop my hatchling into a silly hat? Dragon picture in bio. Artwork depicting a seemingly 'safe' dragon not on someone's blacklist with a feature that upsets them? Well it wasn't blurred so clicking it should have been okay. Saving someone's avatar dragon image to use as forum decoration? Not linked to any actual player icon and therefore exists outside of any blanket blacklist. Someone just buys a dragon off the auction house and finds it has a hatchery banner in the bio with an image they don't like? At least the code doesn't show image previews, but you're still going to wind up seeing the image.

The only way around the above issue is heavier moderation on what people can post and do with their custom spaces, which goes against the primary argument of a blacklist only affecting the person who sets it. Even then I can see such toxic hostility sprouting up when someone does something as simple as showing off a silly dragon edit because 'well some people would have that dragon blocked!' It already happens, even in spaces where it is perfectly clear spoilers aren't required.

I understand not wanting to see things. I understand things making you uncomfortable. But please stop saying this is 'simple accessibility' because it isn't. This is so heavily multi-layered from not only a basic gameplay stance but from a social gameplay stance.

wada sez: Like many Mosaic strips, and official tie-in media from 3H Productions, Beast Wars - Second Chances aims to show the fates of various characters who were left on Earth at the end of the cartoon. Tarantulas was presumed destroyed in the episode “Other Victories”, but clearly some vestige of him remains! “Operation: Ninth Eye” was reportedly an idea of Mike Priest’s, a reference to Tarantulas oddly having nine eyes instead of eight in beast mode. See below for Shaun Flaherty’s original script, which was dated to April 21st, 2009. In addition, each of the writers on Beast Wars: Second Chances contributed a personal bio explaining their history with the franchise; you can find Shaun��s “Writer Spotlight” below as well.

PAGE ONE (six panels)

Panel 1.  Prehistoric Earth, as seen from space.

CAP: Earth.

Panel 2.  Outside a cave.  It is surrounded by quiet, desert terrain.

CAP: Four million years ago…

CAP/COMPUTER VOICE: “…Three --

CAP/COMPUTER VOICE: “-- Two --

CAP/COMPUTER VOICE: “-- One --”

Panel 3.  Inside the cave.  It is one of Tarantulas’s abandoned laboratories/lairs.  It is dark, but just enough sunlight spills in from outside to see that it is filled with deactivated equipment.  A monitor glows green, but what is on its screen is not visible.

Reference: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cssWMayeniQ (1:29) wada sez: dead link Tarantulas’ lair

COMPUTER VOICE (OP): -- Zero.

COMPUTER VOICE (OP): Countdown sequence complete.

COMPUTER VOICE (OP): Initiate Operation: Ninth Eye.

Panel 4.  Equipment comes to life.  Lights come on.  An arachnoid skitters.  On a monitor is a body of text; it reads as follows in Cybertronix (Predacon characters):

OPERATION: NINTH EYE

FRAG IT. TORCH THE SLAG OUT OF EVERYTHING.

Reference: Arachnoid Cybertronix

COMPUTER VOICE (OP): Initiating.

TARANTULAS (OP): Hm-me-he-hee…

Panel 5.  More equipment comes to life.  More lights come on.  More arachnoids skitter.  On a monitor is a wire-frame schematic of Arachnid (beast mode).  On another monitor is a wire-frame schematic of Transmetal Tarantulas (robot mode).

Reference: Arachnid Tarantulas

TARANTULAS (OP): M-ma-ha-ha-ha!

Panel 6.  An extreme close-up of the monitor from Panel 3.  On its screen is an extreme close-up of a green, digital representation of Tarantulas’s (robot mode) face; he laughs maniacally.

Reference: Tarantulas (Seibertron) Tarantulas (TFWiki)

TARANTULAS: Mah-he-hee-ha-ha-ha!!!

Believe it or not, the project that became BEAST WARS: Second Chances began over a year ago. In September 2008, Josh van Reyk, one of the creative minds behind Transformers: Mosaic, pitched the idea of a Beast Wars one-shot to a handful of us writers and we ran with the idea!  Hundreds of email messages ensued as we hammered out the story.  A lot of great stuff ended up on the "cutting room floor" as we tried to cram as much Beast Wars awesomeness into 22 short pages as possible. So, that's the beginning of how this baby came together, but what about me?  What's my story?  In case you're wondering, here's a taste: My name is Shaun Flaherty.  I am 30 years old and newly married.  I went to school for acting and currently manage a health club. But before all that, there were Transformers. Being born at the very end of the Seventies, I was a Star Wars kid, but soon after the Jedi returned, I discovered something else.  On my first day of kindergarten in 1984, my father presented me with Optimus Prime and 25 years later I still love robots in disguise. Fast-forward a decade or so, past weekday afternoons and a Movie, past reruns and Generation 2.  I discovered Beast Wars late one Saturday morning on a crappy little TV with terrible reception and it was love at first sight. Five delightful seasons (including Beast Machines) and then it was gone. DreamWave promised more, but delivered only one short story.  IDW promised more, but delivered something that wasn't quite the Beast Wars that I had in mind. Our goal with BEAST WARS: Second Chances is to recapture magic, even if only for a moment.  Our goal is for Second Chances to feel like Beast Wars to you. Although the finished product is still a way's away, we hope you'll like what you'll see. -- Shaun Flaherty

Not my dragon//Drew them a birb

Dragon currently belongs to @pumpkin-bread and is for sale in their lair!

This DOES mean you have to take the image and put it in their bio yourself. (I can provide an imgur link if needed) Because again. Not my sales dragon. But I couldn't resist drawing them a birb because oh they make such a soft little birb

They're in Kaial's lair for a mere 150g

(Also Kai, you're bound to see this post so like... Hi i'm being a bit of a gremlin)

[oopsiespooks]

25 / 8 / 5 / 39 for the FR ask game!

thanks for the asks !! :D

25. What's your relationship with Baldwin and his brew?

i like to think it's pretty good!! i'm always souping things so i'm never really low on much, unless it's for festival currency during fests (wishing for queueing one day so i can set stuff up overnight) i get a decent amount of the mats i need, and i'm building up more stock in prep for notn!

8. Dragon with lore (or that i wish had lore)

say hello to cain (again)! i've shared him many times on my blog and this definitely won't be the last >:) you can read his bio here, but i'll do a short tldr: is a part of a lineage lore project ran by a friend, and is the youngest of the first nest. very bratty, vain, and acts before he thinks. disappointed with how little arcane power he held, he dragged his sibling, cantrip, with him to the rumoured "solution" to his issues, lotus. the veilspun runs a teahouse, and in secret, offers to "fix" problems for a small price. he took her up on the offer without a single question, and ended up cursing himself and his sibling in exchange for power. now cursed, cain cannot "hold his physical form" without mana, which is constantly leaking out of his body through the ooze. he must absorb other dragons' mana in order to keep himself together.

5. Special ID/Hatchdate

brier- she's my current oldest birthday match, May 21, 2015 (9 years, will be 10 when i'm 25!) and i love her to bits. i just need jester & faded eyes to finish her off! she's also a G1 and i cannot believe i wanted to scatter her. some folks in the old oaks server saved her from scatter hell 🫶

39. Favorite dragon in someone else's lair (link the dragon!)

rites' altair and molea's lunaire! please go and give them some love because i'm just so normal about them that they're the first thoughts i had. been very into blue/off-whites and good stains, so mwah gorgeous dragons <3333

> flight rising ask game

[blushingtendertiel]

3, 12 and 21 for the ask game! 💖

Thank you for the ask!!

3. Sentimental dragon

Equinoxe is memorial dragon for a funhouse they dismantled from Linnanmäki, an amusement park in Helsinki. The name is from the song they played there. Song is linked in their bio!

12. Best advice for any player

Click your familiars it really pays out! And the easiest way to change currency is to buy the cheapest dragon egg on ah with the currency you have and sell it with the currency you desire. Usually sells whitin 30minutes.

21. Show off your dragonsona (scry ok!)

Uhhhh a thing about me is that I have borderline personality disorder and every time I try to make a sona it just turns out to be somebody else.... but here are two trys I have in my lair:

If I am going to try again I think I am gonna make it Aether next time....

[saritawolffr]

I had some very lucky hatches today, with so many possibilities. Check them out. Scry them. See for yourself!

You can find them through the sales tab link in my bio.

(Currently they are listed for treasure because I am trying to raise enough for more lair slots. But I will accept gems at a rate of 1:1000. Just send me a DM or CR!)

[mekha-draws]

here is a link to my lair, some dragons are more flexhed out in my mind than others but really just make me ramble idk

[frame-fr]

Small lair cleaning

Some dragons that no longer spark joy... which is so sad for some of them who've been with me a long time :<

Feel free to make offers on them! PM is preferred

Salieri was from my old-old lair and he's got just a tiny bit of personality written, but not much past that

Areciel has Lore! And a couple of traditional sketches I drew of him like a year ago that aren't in his bio (I'll send them)

Sylcaria has a piece of art from a gift exchange. Forgot to mark it on the image. Price is negotiable I just put that up there for the AH

Haliteiru has two pieces of art (1 dragon, 1 gijinka) both by me.

🙦 Atrocious amount of self ship lore

🙦 Me being lowkey mean to my f/os

🙦 Ramblings about the smallest things I noticed about my f/os

🙦 Never-ending awful jokes

🙦 Random moments of self-reflection through selfships

🙦 Annoyed rants

On a more serious note, the name is Katarina, 20 years old, not used to being nice or communicating with people but I'm trying.

I have a bunch of f/os, which are listed in this post right here, along with my numerous s/is. The underlined rows with s/is’ names are links that lead to their bios, so that you'll know who you're dealing with.

There’s no DNI because I genuinely couldn’t care less who I interact with. Also the fact that I interact with someone doesn’t mean that I agree with them on everything.

The main blog is @aspiring-villain, just in case.

Sagely Quotes Of Stuff I Just Said (help).

"I mean use the kamado dragon as a base, it already has base thick skin, hard bones, poison, etc help mix that with some spices like a chicken to help gap the long reptilian link to dino's to what became of their avian's, slowly bio sculpt them out to large proportions with lowering bone density but upping the harden scales to make them the main armor, with the thick leathery skin underneath to act as padding so the bone takes less damage. Then mix in a acid spitting reptilian to have the needed glandes and sacks, help it along by switching out the chemical formula of what it makes with a liquid that ignites with air to create fire, help breed it along in vast and fast forms to make it get fire resistance then switch out the pigment to a good color to fit its type. thats just base western red dragon, can really get wacky with magic vats and forced evolution, take some more bio sculpting ta da animalistic dragons. Now for the sentence help foster its brain by using a close species brain to map it along, let them grow well slowly making habits you want to happen through maticuless psychological tests and constant envoirment needs to get it to its a perfect match that sticks in their genetics for survival and dominance in its territory. Add magic to i can have lair abelites, and maybe permanently enchant shapeshifting into a humanoid runes into every version till you have one that is to connected to it that it does in naturally to both help mind development and fantasy trope. Then their ya go a dragon! now experiment to alternate versions and this is only one way, like I can explain mecha and slow breeding ones to or others, now you can then fuck your own creation in any part of its line of creation and bio sculpt it till its everything you want in a mate. Now I must die for my horrific ungodly crimes."

"note this was from a group talking about a setting with no dragons and how that it makes it so players can't fuck them, I said you can just create them so here's that hell"

"Simple I am above the gods and their foolish pursuits to make things and their tiny minds that play fantasy, no I made my horny bullshit fetishes' a real play toy, the go's will learn to fear me and my cock."

"I AM THE SAGE OF ALL THINGS, I NEED NO TITLE OF THE GODS FOR MY SHEER EXITENCE IS ABOVE THEIR WILL, I AM THE BRINGER OF GLORUIS PARIDISE TO THE PEPOLE, WELL THE BRING FMAINE AND WAR IN THEIR PETTY PRASUITS. NO, I BRING GENDER EQUILITY AND CATBOI BUSSY!"

~These are all jokes to my friend's to fuck with them and be a cock in general, pls respect actual laws and your DM's rules, I am just a femboy sage that brings crazed wizdom"
