I've realized the mutual love between humans and dragons showing itself as mimicry of each other and I want to cry
#smudgy.txt#etherlan#IM FEELING EMOTIONAL ABOUT HUMANS AND THEIR RELATIONSHIPS W OTHER CREATURES RN OK#the dragon mage insitute exists to be a love letter to dragons#its believed that humans and dragons were very close at creation but gradually grew apart over time#(bc of human error is the common belief but its different depending on who youre talking to)#anyway the institute was created as a 'we havent forgotten you'#which reminds me of this village i thought of a while ago#they have an annual celebration where the whole village will head to their nearby mountain#to set up camp and cook lots of food and sing and dance and make lamps to light up the mountainside#the mountain is believed to be a dragon who fell asleep waiting for her human companion she separated w long ago to come back#long story short they never returned but shes still waiting believing they will#and when a person from the village found out she was there all alone they started bringing their family to visit#to talk abt the years events and cook and tell stories sing and dance etc#to keep her company#& over the years the group of visitors just continued to grow until it became a whole celebration#anyway while most ppl fear the dragons bc uhh theyre Scary there is still many who wish to say 'we remember you'. yknow

#smudgy.txt#etherlan#idk if i ever rly thought abt how the dragons show their care for humans but#i just had the thought that maybe dragons learn the languages of whatever human communities they live near#maybe take on certain cultural things they observe#dragons learning to dance bc they saw humans doing it n thought it was cool. anyway#OH. the shapeshifting dragons that take on human forms i. forgot#thats like the ultimate form of mimicry
