HERE TO PARTICIPATE!!!

Hi. You can call me 42 or dragon or dragonsarecool. They/them pronouns please. I'm redoing my pinned post cause the old one was absolute chaos and not the most useful to me. But it was funny.

Anyways. This blog is mostly a curation of cool art I like, tagged with stuff I like about it. No empty reblogs here. Artists get complimented in this house.

I also post some of my own fanart. It's mostly older stuff so far, but I still have hopes of getting back into drawing more now too. Comments are always appreciated by the way, don't be shy. Let's talk about our favorite characters together. Fandoms don't thrive if people don't participate. Join me.

As for those fandoms, the main one's you'll see here at the minute are Hermitcraft and Minecraft, Hollow Knight and Silksong, and Wings of Fire. There will also be fiber arts of all sorts and animals of both the mythological and real, extant and extinct varieties.

I also write and that's all posted over on my Ao3. But here I'll post world building and answer asks about those stories. Asks are always welcomed, come play dolls with me.

And that should just about cover what you'll see here. Useful tags organized below.

Instead of ‘Practice makes Perfect’, it should be ‘Practice makes Progress’

[mezzmerizd]

trying to look for artsie that features exclusively AZ dads (for background reasons) feels like looking for a needle in a haystack. But whoever told you to look for the needle lied, there is no needle. You're going through the hay for no reason actually

[llama-bird]

at least can all we agree that the original gay flag with the magic and sex colours is BEAUTIFUL and it should make a comeback

[funkyness]

what’s more iconic than this

[azeroundivided]

What about the final version of the flag by the original creator?

Gilbert Baker added a 9th stripe shortly before his death, with the new stripe representing diversity. He added this stripe in reaction to the 2016 US election. It’s unfortunately not as well known as the 8 and 6 striped versions.

Here’s an image of him sewing together the 9 striped rainbow flag.

Happy pride month everyone
