THAT'S IT I'M SHOWING YOU MY DRAGON.

YAP YAP YAP

HEY so I've had this dragoness for a long, LONG time named Valinyfis and she's one of my FAVORITES. She was originally made for a collaborative world building effort that became Hella Not Collaborative In The Slightest as time went on because the person running it just sorta was a control freak (also very abusive), but I kept the three characters I had in that world; One of them being Valinyfis!

Her ref was drawn by (Warning for NSFW and nudity)@DrippyDrag over on Twitter. and, while I cannot find any other presence for him on Tumblr other than a some-what abandoned fan blog, I will link back to where I perceive his main presence being.

But without any further ado... Dragon!!

The original design .JPG was actually a rather comedic assortment that contained sourced images and a generalized idea for what I wanted physically- And of course, this is the perfect encapsulation of the vision I had for her! Speaking of...

THE DESIGN JPG!

Valinyfis outside of what is mentioned here has a huge fondness for intoxicants- Namely wine- and elves. As food. Not... Not as company. She can't stand them as company.

She is also a sorcerer who gained her magic after an... Interesting predicament. Who knew that chomping someone with a sorcerous spark would bring out the latent one within yourself? Either way, her magic focused on fire, and seemed to become more powerful when she was exposed to the light of the sun. She was also capable of using the flexibility granted by such gifts on her natural abilities, such as her breath weapon.

Her story was supposed to be her solidifying some place as her lair, and eventually becoming a major player in the world before eventually ascending into what is called a "Greatwyrm". This never really came to fruition however, and sort of just... Yeah, Mentioned above happened.

I still have a great amount of love for her, and am planning to get more stuff for her in the future. But until then... Behold, Precious beast sleeps. (Drawn by @mythrilkittyart!)

“ice water makes you sick” “ice water gives you stomach cramps” i’m sorry if i have a hardy and oxlike american constitution but unless you have underlying health issues, the only water temperature that should cause adverse health effects is if you chug a gallon of boiling hot water that has also been laced with nefarious chemicals

[theclockwitch]

AH, this person has never been on a forced 10k run in 90 degree heat 90 % humidity and then forced to slam a liter of ice water.

You will cramp. You will throw up. It will not rehydrate you at all. The medic will get to practice his large bore IVs.

[godlessondheimite]

Yeah, most people haven’t and never will so this won’t actually happen to me.

[rhulyon]

This misinformation is actually dangerous. If you drink ice cold water after workout, you can freeze and crack your gut mucus that protects you from your own digestión acids and could create an ulcer.

[bunjywunjy]

in drinking ice water, you are functionally adding several ounces of 32° f water into a solid body of 100+ lbs at 98° f.

that water is not doing jack shit to your stomach lining, your body is simply too much of a thermal reservoir. the water is already increased significantly in temperature by the time it reaches your stomach.

in order to actually freeze anything inside your body you have to be drinking liquid nitrogen. ice water is fine!

it might make your stomach nerves uncomfy if you're super sensitive or not used to it, but it's not actually doing you physical harm

[bunjywunjy]

also note for everyone under extreme heat this summer who has access safe to ice: you can just hold an ice cube in your mouth to cool yourself down. it's good for you

[bogleech]

Why would anyone in the world think that water liquid enough for you to drink is going to instantly freeze anything in your body on contact.

This thread is the first I'm ever even hearing there are misconceptions about drinking cold water?? And it's being discussed like this has always been a topic that exists?!

heh. didn't even stand a chance.

[clapuhands]

to everyone in the notes asking for a translation: panel 1: "weigh your heart" (the suffix pronoun for heart should be .k not .ti i think but i see what you are going for. also, my copy of faulkner doesn't have a copy of the word but it's pretty clear from context what it means) panel 4: "what"

anyway op good job this is really funny and better than 99.9% of hieroglyphs on the internet

[oodles-of-boodle]

@thatlittleegyptologist

[thatlittleegyptologist]

xAa is 'to throw/dispatch/abandon' because fAj is the verb 'to weigh' (this can be checked on the Thesaurus Linguae Aegyptiae), .tj should be =k as already pointed out.

Thus with xAa as the imperative 'dispact/throw', the scales determinative doesn't belong to that word and is thus a word in and of itself the 3-consonant jws.w (the .w is just a plural, it's still 3-consonants), and then .tj which should be =k.

It's more: xAa jws.w ib=k 'chuck your heart on the scales' *ma'at gets obliterated* ptr 'what'.

As an aside; it's not good practice with Middle Egyptian to go 'we can infer this from context' when you can't find that word in one dictionary. You should be consulting at least three. Also, because my ass has been doing this for nearly 20 years, just so you're all aware xAa is in Faulkner:

This is page 183 of my personal copy of Faulkner's Concise Dictionary of Middle Egyptian. xAa is right there! You'll see that the picture of the entry for the TLA also cites it as FCD 'Faulkner's Concise Dictionary' 183.

[cacklingskeleton]

being a hater kinda sucks when it comes to video games because most of the people who make content related to that blame it all on wokeness or trans people instead of like, corporations being out of touch

[cacklingskeleton]

like i love hearing about video game drama and the latest triple aaa game that flopped, but everytime i find a video about it i gotta scroll through the creators youtube channel to make sure they arent an anti-woke grifter or something

[ellohcee]

The idea of dragons in modern times is so fun because imagine a hot summer day on your vacay and go to use the hotel pool and staff is like "valued guests we regret to inform you that the pool area is out of service at the moment, we apologize for the inconvenience"

And people like "wtf why" looking out their hotel room window and there's this. This dragon just curled up in the pool chilling, literally, cooling itself down

Some of the staff are trying to gently shoo him away and the dragon does a soft little "rrrrrr" like a grumpy cat and a warning puff of smoke and they're like "fuck it i don't get paid nearly enough for this" and no ones using the pool today sorry!

We need a revival season of Stargate where it's just a bunch of new adventures for SG1 but the real number of years since the show ended have passed and without any explanation Daniel Jackson has fully transitioned

You cannot convince us she isn't a trans woman the way she's written!
