Source Dragon lloyd

Wouldn’t it be really funny if the Source Dragon that’s Ras master would be (who looks to be) Balance. I just think that would be very ironic

Just in case anyone hasn't watched it yet;

Lloyd basically became God for less than a minute and I'm all for it!

(Also, I need to start drawing the other ninjas more. I draw Lloyd way too much--)

Dragons Rising theory time. Did Imperium cause the Merge?

Ik that there was some kind of explanation of the cause in Season 2 Part 2 (spoiler-free btw) but then there's this line from the Source Dragon of Energy about his capture:

"In their act of confining me, the Imperium has threatened the very fabric of existence. The realm world has tentatively stabilized since my capture."

mainly the "realm world has tentatively stabilized" part. This was before he was released and the mergequakes stopped. "Tentatively" means "kind of." Ever since the Merge, the clash of realms "kind of" calmed down to just mergequakes.

Also, "threatened the very fabric of existence." That basically describes the Merge as a whole. At least from what we know of it right now, two seasons in.

However, that's not to say the reason in Part 2 isn't connected. If you know what it is, you'll understand how information is always foggy or withheld. It's still possible that for both to be correct.

The Source Dragon's words were never expanded on or addressed again and it's been nagging me ever since I saw the episode the first time.

So with these lines in mind, did the act of confining a Source Dragon cause the Merge?

theory from myself and @wisteriixa

Ninjago Dragons Rising is an okay show, but the source dragon doesn't make any sense, when was it locked up? How empirium did stabilize whatever balance by trapping it? Why without being caged it will be able to collapse the universe???

Something silly...

(In the Fade after Rook disrupted the ritual) Rook: Can I ask questions? Solas: You may ask me one. Rook: Are you a child of divorce? Solas: ...

So it’s canonically implied that Modern au Dragon is a coffee shop chain owner, rides motorcycles and loves his son 😌

Also, don't be alarmed! I changed my signature, but it's still me! I'm not out here stealing art D:

*Crocodile and Nico Robin, sitting in a Raindinners board meeting, listening to a boring presentation...*

Robin: Uuugh, this is the longest two hours of my life...

Crocodile: Just wait until childbirth, sister.

Robin: What?

Crocodile: What?

Funniest bit of the dnd movie is Xenk clearly being an NPC the DM introduced for lore and plot purposes who’s a competent fighter because of course he is, his reputation and backstory require it. But whoopsies the DM made him too powerful, the whole party likes him, and now they want him to come with to fight the BBEG which will completely and utterly fuck up the encounter balance

So instead of there being any actual plot reason he can’t join Xenk just says “I can’t. This is something only you can do.” And then walks off, never to interact with the party again because the DM just knows those little shits will find a way to use their OP creation against them

in a Q/A with Tui, she stated that blood moons affect a nightwing's powers, allowing seers to see terrible events/disasters clearly and allowing mind readers to project their thoughts onto any dragon (not just other mind readers)

i thought this was a really cool detail, and i'm hoping that it's used in the books somewhere

here are two sisters born under a blood moon, one a mind reader and the other a seer. i imagine the mind reader uses telepathy to comfort her sister as she foresees troubling futures

"BioWare Continues to Refuse to Pay Severance" statement transcript:

“BioWare Continues to Refuse to Pay Severance On August 23 of this year, BioWare eliminated “approximately 50 roles at BioWare”. Following the layoffs, seven ex-BioWare employees engaged the services of R. Alex Kennedy to represent their interests, stating that the amount of severance offered was insufficient under Alberta common law. Counsel for the employees has attempted to reach a compromise that would avoid requiring lengthy court proceedings, but BioWare’s lawyers refused any offers to negotiate and settle out of court. The basis of Kennedy’s claim is that according to Alberta precedents and under Canadian law, these employees should be receiving approximately 1.7 months of severance per year of service they gave to BioWare. BioWare has now filed a Statement of Defence, which argues that the seven terminated employees are only entitled to two weeks of severance per year spent in service to BioWare, because of a contract provision that Kennedy says is not enforceable. The filing means BioWare will be taking these former employees to court rather than working towards finding an out of court resolution. The developers involved in the suit have expressed their disappointment: - “We are disappointed that BioWare prefers stalling and intimidation tactics to fair dealing with people who have given years, and in some cases decades, of dedication and hard work to the company.” - “We believe they are using intimidation and stalling tactics to try and get us to drop out. A lot of the more junior employees and those with families, who had more monetary pressure on them, could not risk waiting on a court case that may take many months more to resolve, and have already had to drop out.” - “At the time of the layoffs, BioWare offered us professional assistance in finding new employment, and an additional payment, but ONLY on the condition that we signed an agreement saying we cannot talk about any details of the settlement, and that we would completely waive any right to legal action or even to complain in any way about anyone associated with BioWare now or ever in the future. Tactics like that sure make me think that BioWare knows it is in the wrong.” - “Despite what they publicly announced when they laid us off, this process has been anything but empathetic, respectful, and communicative.” The latest BioWare layoffs were the third round so far this year, and many of the developers affected even in earlier rounds are still searching for work, though some have started to find new positions. Regardless of employment status, the members of the current lawsuit state they remain determined to pursue BioWare in court, regardless of their employment status: - “We strongly believe that if Dragon Age: Dreadwolf does not do as well as BioWare or EA wants at launch, there will be more, even larger layoffs. Therefore, regardless of our own well-being, we believe it is important to hold BioWare responsible and get a clear decision on what settlement amount is legal. We’re no longer part of the development team, so the best way we can help our former teammates now is to hold BioWare accountable and ensure that the next group who is laid off are not treated as poorly as we were.” November 7th marks “N7 Day”, which is a fan celebration of BioWare’s Mass Effect games featuring Commander Shepard and the crew of the Normandy. The developers involved in the lawsuit are hoping N7 Day this year will be a reminder to BioWare of the importance of loyalty to your crew, and hope fans can have a little fun and help express their support with memes and images using an #N7SeveranceDay hashtag. The ex-employees involved in the suit are all based in Canada and have an average of 14 years at BioWare.”
