[dudeimnotafurry]

Taking a break from writing angsty fic to fill in a silly little meme. Its a bit of a crack-ship but I do actually think they could have some chemistry if given enough time and space. Both Tyson and Roswell adore Dave and if they could get over themselves there's actually a whole lot of qualities that they like in each other as well. That's not to say there wouldn't be some tension but who doesn't like a bit of spice and Dave would love having his two favourite people around and more.

Close-ups of my sketches below

[foxett]

hmmm…Watcher as a Night/Rain, perhaps? Or Survivor & Monk as SandWing dragonets?

if u wanna do more wof art, that is. if not, can I get an Artificer and her tamed Red or Cyan lizard?

Night/rain (yes, there is rainwing dna in there, believe it or not) Watcher indeed... More info under cut (major 1.5 spoilers!!!)

Watcher is a Nightwing/Rainwing hybrid. Their abilities include; (Weakened) Camouflage, weak fire-breathing and a prehensile tail. Yes, that's all the get. No toxic saliva, no acid spitting, no foresight, no frills, no mind reading. Nothing.

Abilities (deep dive); Their camouflage is far weaker than a proper Rainwing. There's a timer on it, giving them at most a few minutes of invisibility. They usually don't use their color changing besides it. Their "default" appearance is close to that of a Nightwing.

Their fire breathing is rather weak, but it helps them survive in regions like The Surface for just a little longer.

Prehensile tail is just sort of there. It has no meaning behind it.

When meeting Spinning Top/The Prince/The Weaver their design (BASE APPEARANCE) changes. Spinning top makes them bluer, with stars speckled across their body as well. Prince makes them more purple, with rot Xs visible on their wings instead of stars. Weaver does what it does canonically (the feathers are still feathers that grow on them) !!!

Spoilers for PASSWORD(vn). Man, the more I think about it the more interesting I find the dynamic between Roswell and Tyson to be.

You have the two characters in the entire cast who (arguably) care about Dave the most and they can't fucking stand each other. At first brush this isn't that surprising. They're about as different to one another as day and night and that's without even considering their rocky history. Where Roswell uses clever manipulation and gentle lies to get his way, Tyson opts for brute strength and bold faced intimidation. On the surface, they both embody the trope of the jock and the nerd to a 'T'. Yet despite those differences, they're far more similar where it really matters. Both of them are insanely loyal, fiercely protective, and (if the situation calls for it) by far the most ruthless of Dave's friend group. The moment things get serious both of them are fully willing to sacrifice anyone and everyone if it means keeping Dave safe. Even if Dave himself would hate them for making such a choice they're both more than prepared to bear that cost.

If they didn't constantly drive the other up the wall I could actually see them balancing out each other's weaknesses by working together. But then again that just makes their whole relationship all more interesting doesn't it, that the person they hate can accomplish something they'd struggle to do with ease. I want to put them in a room together and watch them fight about something petty and inconsequential. I want them to finally get to know each other well enough to see how similar they are and reckon with that fact that they recognize themselves in someone they don't always like.

All that is to say, they're just so rivals coded to me.

[hollowflight-propaganda]

for the drawing request would it be alright to do Cedric from 'In Case of Emergency'. (this is also my subtle propaganda for you to read it if you haven't already, its short sweet and slick.)

In Case of Emergency is actually one of the top vns to get to on my list right now! Largely due to the fact that it's completed and I'm running out of longer completed ones to go through, but I do also sometimes look at playthroughs to get like a preview of the beginning of some to see if it interests me, and this one does! Also I think the sprite animations are really nice

If you want to do the ask game, how about 12 and 28?

12. (What would you add to an arc/book?): I would love to expand on the negotiating that had to have ensued between the Queens after the end of arc 1.

While I think that having both the Dragonets of Destiny and the Eye of Onyx officially recognizing Thorn as Queen holds a lot of weight for a war weary continent, I can't help but believe there would have been a lot of haggling involved before each Queen withdrew their troops back into their own territories. Does Glacier still get some land but only the territory that is too cold for Sandwings to utilize anyway? Does Ruby get sworn oaths that no other tribe would shelter Scarlet? Does Moorhen get her 100 years of mutual protection even if it means the Sandwings might have to go to war yet again just to protect another tribe's land?

Most interestingly to me however is how the Dragonets of Destiny managed to get JMA officially recognized so quickly. What if, more than just a school, it was also intended to act as a failsafe against another war by placing politically valuable dragonets all within the same neutral territory. The sheer number of royals and otherwise well connected students attending JMA always struck me as too suspicious to simply be a coincidence. Every Queen would have to hold off against ordering further conflict at least until they re-called their own dragonets back. Hmmm.

28. (Character you hope gets expanded on/ viewed in the near future?): Mightyclaws, my favourite traumatized little artist. He was actually genuinely friendly toward Starflight in book four and even Moon, known outcast amongst her fellow Nightwings, mentioned that he was polite enough until she started prodding him about Darkstalker.

In second place I'd love to learn more about Crane, her death had a lot of knock on effects but we hardly know anything about her. Fingers crossed for arc 4!

Anyway thanks for giving me the chance to yap, hopefully these were interesting enough to read. Link to original ask game: here!

Woe, undead goat man be upon you. Tryna get back in that art groove and after reading ediction today I liked it enough to make something. It has some pretty interesting themes but uh, its pretty bleak.

[dudeimnotafurry]

Ralsei from eldritchrune ( by @lynxgriffin ) is my favourite little guy. When he burns a monster alive, he's doing it for you.

It is gut wrenching to think that some of the only times that Clearsight was blindsided by something she didn't foresee was in the moments she dared to be happy and trust that things were going to be okay. She spent the first years of her life obsessively working out the future to an unhealthy degree, terrified by what would happen if she didn't have complete control and awareness of what to do to make sure she could reach her happy ending. When Darkstalker showed her his scroll and made her the bracelet, it was tangible proof that he was willing to give up his own power to make her happy. It seemed like all her hard work was paying off and for once Clearsight let loose a little and had fun like the dragonets that they were. In daring to enjoy herself she is rewarded with Arctic coming in and finding out Darkstalker was an animus. A fact that only furthered the resentment between the two while also inadvertently exposing Darkstalker's magic to the entire tribe.

Then later down the line, Clearsight is working day in and day out for the Queen, so much so that she forgot it was her own birthday the very next day. Only after she's been pestered and physically dragged out of her office does she begin to relax and enjoy the party that is being thrown for her. Then Queen Diamond ruins it all.

Turning Darkness Into Light by Marie Brennan - working on the translation of an ancient text is complicated when it might have a huge impact on the public perception of a highly stigmatised group; subterfuge, found family, mythology, and the rejection of men who steal other people’s work.

If by “no war” you mean “no or not focused on violence”:

The Terrier/Bloodhound/Mastiff series by Tamora Pierce Teenage former street rat aspires to and joins law enforcement in pseudo-medieval fantasy land, proves to have moral code forged of adamantium and more determination than an entire battalion. Also talks to unquiet ghosts carried by pigeons.

the Winding Circle books by Tamora Pierce (with the exception of Battle Magic) Four teenagers are snatched from the jaws of peril, discover they have incredibly strong yet overlooked magical powers, slowly become a found family, survive an earthquake, pirates, forest fires, plague, and puberty.

The Keeper Chronicles, by Tanya Huff Magic user accidentally gets roped into running a boarding house in Toronto. The decor is from the 50s, the handyman is an incredibly handsome and pureminded myopic Newfoundlander, and there is a (literal) portal to Hell in the basement. The third book adds lesbians and a mall that eats street kids to the mix. (Enchantment Emporium and its sequels are in the same world btw)

——————————————————————

If by “no war” you legitimately just mean that war is not the driving plot force:

the Hawk and Fisher books by Simon R Green  Fairytale-destined prince and princess decide that destiny is bullshit, ditch their kindgoms, become the only honest pseudo-cops in fantasy-Gotham because strangely being a prince/princess doesn’t actually give you life skills that are not applicable to being a mercenary. Buildings eat people, gods are murdered, street drugs turn people into animals, Hawk and Fisher are so very tired.

Oath of Swords and its sequels, by David Weber

Guy from a species generally (unfairly) derided by “civilized people” as barbaric and evil thinks he’s going mad, but actually he’s been chosen as paladin by a god and he’s just stubbornly refusing to listen. Continues to go off and do heroic shit while doing the equivalent of jamming his fingers in his ears and saying “LA LA LA”. This does absolutely nothing to dissuade the god in question.

[uovoc]

The Thief, by Megan Whalen Turner A thief’s prison sentence is cut short when he is sent on a mission to steal an important (and magical?) object for the King. BIG plot twist at the end. Imagine going on a fun road trip through the fantasy pseudo-Byzantine Empire, except that all your fellow travelers have their own secret agendas.

The First Fifteen Lives of Harry August, by Catherine Webb  In this universe, there are a handful of time travelers –  people who are forced to live the same life over and over, retaining their memories with each rebirth.  As Harry nears the end of his eleventh life, a little girl appears at his bedside with the following message: the end of the world is getting faster.

Dark Lord of Derkholm, by Diana Wynne Jones The citizens of a fantasy world are getting really tired of being overrun by non-magical tourists from our world. This year, the role of Evil Wizard falls to Derk, who wants nothing more than to be left in peace on his farm/magical genetic engineering laboratory. Derk’s 2 human children, 5 griffin children, and 1 enchantress wife feel much the same. Wouldn’t it be a shame if someone were to sabotage this planet’s shitty contract once and for all? 

[yggidee]

(For personal records)

[marzipanandminutiae]

The Athena Club series, by Theodora Goss Daughters and/or female creations of mad scientists from 19th-century literature team up to figure out what their “fathers” were up to and what, exactly, the secret society that seems to control all such experiments intends to do next. Sort of an all-female League of Extraordinary Gentlemen, in the best way. Kind of an odd frame narrative, but you get used to it pretty quickly.

[carry-on-wayward-sister]

The Ruby Red Trilogy by Kerstin Gier

Love, Time travel, secret societies, and a dark secret at the heart of a prophecy.

Skulduggery Pleasant by Derek Landy

A hidden world of magic wielders in modern day Ireland, a skeleton detective and his associate solving crimes, a race of Gods trying to conquer the world, and a dark prophecy declaring the end of all things. This one does have battles in every book but it isn’t your classical war.

Chronicles of Ancient Darkness by Michelle Paver

Set in a time when the woods were still dark and dangerous (European Bronze Age, most likely Finland), a boy and his wolf friend have to survive beasts and other clans. Includes Demons, Soul Eaters, Spirit Walkers, and Changelings.
