HEY EVERYONE!

I’m on vacation rn and they had a place with art activities you can do so i decided to make this!! It’s a little appetizer before the 6 course meal i have cooked up for MagnetMirror week

So first of all, sorry its terrible the fabric was very hard to paint on 😭

Second, ignore the black smudge in the corner. Never happened.

Third, ODWARD HAS A MOUTH I SWEAR IT DOESNT SHOW ON CAMERA (and he’s also a bit lighter i promise 😭)

Anyway even though it looks a little off I LOVE ITTT and im taking it everywhere.

BYE!! LOVE Y’ALL! ✨💜✨

[kal-asterock]

Shit I'm talking about when I say my dash is broken cause I JUST saw this. Anyway if you gotta wash it do it inside out or spot clean it cause it's too damn cute to accidentally wash the paint off

[swiss-in-my-cheese]

OH MY GOD I DIDN’T EVEN THINK OF THEM WAIT THAT’S SUCH A COOL CONNECTION TYSM (i love epic and the odyssey btw ((NOT the movie, the poem)))

Is it really based off of them in the actual show??

[kal-asterock]

Not sure? But I wouldn't be surprised, mythological connection & the fitting theme of a psychoactive drug? Shrug.

Mysterious Gorotama team

At first I thought they were the old Dragons team, but they don't look like them. We know armor changes over the years, but their armor has a particular emphasis on the crescent moon.

This black-haired character (I can't tell if it's a lady or a guy.) looks similar to Ragno. I just did some math to figure out how old Ediana was when she had Key, and I figured she was between 20 and 24 years old. Ragno is older than Key, about 3 years, and Ragno's parent would have to join the team after Edina had already left. That would go dangerously close to the implication that Ragno is a result of a teen pregnancy or a teen getting an older woman pregnant, but it's Disney's show, even tho it's made by somebody else, I doubt they let the makers go that route.

I also doubt they would go with Edina having an ex who is Ragno's father.

Then I remembered that there are other schools that have their own teams. Maybe it's not Ragno's ancestor, but a living relative, like a brother or a cousin, from a rival school. It's possible there's some bad blood between them, since Ragno went to a different school to become a Dragon Striker.

It looks like they're playing against the Roses. Look at the green and gold armor!

I'd like to see more interactions between Ragno, Key, and Falco. They're fascinating characters with the potential for interesting interactions and dynamics.

You see how many theories can come from one image?!

[kal-asterock]

Their armor matches the armor we see in the tomb of Agromar, meaning they have a connection to K.A.!

[jumbo-jellyberry]

So if i said i decided to lock in at 12am to draw these 2.

I love their relationship both platonically and romantically like!😭

Theyre so cute to me.

[kal-asterock]

Hii some notes about Tamas that I'm gonna write down for theories and speculation.

- Tamas are, at least in some part, influenced by genetics. We know that based on Key inheriting his Tama from his mother.

- They are HEAVILY influenced by emotions. We mainly see it with Key, but we actually also see it with Milo- though his is, apparently, based on fear and nerves more than anything else. Not all of them seem to have reactions like that, but I wouldn't be shocked.

- They may not have been around very long. We know that they've been a thing for at least 300 years based on the finale, but the fact that they refer to Ssyelle blocking the ball with her face and hands 'old school', maybe Gorotama wasn't always played with Tamas? There really isn't enough information yet, it's just a weird thing I noticed.

- There are clearly laws in place around Tamas, based on the street game, but I wonder what they are and how strict they are. If they're used exclusively for Gorotama generally, what is the point of having the power? Like, why develop inherent powers for a sport, as a species.

- Does everyone have a Tama, and we just don't see everyone's since not everyone is a Gorotama player? Or is it something that you may or may not be born with, I wonder?

[medixnight]

My current joke headcanon is that whatever god out there giving them magic allows it so only Gorotama players can access their magic if they want to play Gorotama because that god just REALLY REALLY LIKES Gorotama

Alright guys we gotta... pick a ship name.

Jelly Dragon - Alludes to their combined tama moment, especially since it's a big moment in the show and for them (happened with Key supporting Milo! Awww)

SpicyJelly - Heat = spicy, plus Jelly? I didn't come up with this one so I don't know if there's more than that.

Kilo - Key + Milo. Classic!

Gummy Wyrm - Same idea as Jelly Dragon, but it's like a pun. I had to separate it into two words because typing all m, y, and w's in tne middle was making it feel hard to read, unfortunately.

You know, something about Gorotama as a sport that's bothering me is the apparent lack of protective gear? Like, we see some for sure, but it doesn't seem like there's any regulation saying you have to wear shoes or something protecting your chest/torso and there's NO face or head protection? Which to my (very limited so correct me if I'm wrong) knowledge of sports isn't really a thing in soccer. But like, Gorotama seems to allow contact/violence, and you'd think there would be a rule saying the goalkeepers who are being bombarded with a ball going mach ten would have to wear some kind of helmet or something.

Like... why are you letting teens play barefoot? Without a shirt? The Bards are the worst for it without a doubt, but it still makes me wonder who's making the rules for this game.

[porygonally]

it could be a newer sport, or the players just dgaf and enjoy it (the bards should absolutely be wearing more armour though, but i do think it makes a really funny odward moment:

odward: do i really have to wear these cleats?

ssyelle: um. yes?????? what do you mean “do you have to”)

real life sports connection under the cut because i’m a nerd

hockey is a physical sport, but protective gear was not actually intuitive thought for the sport!

here is goalie jacques plante in one of the first goalie masks in the 1950s (nhl became a thing in 1917/23, and hockey was being played for decades before that anyway)

he created it after breaking his nose from goaltending. and we have metal cages helmets nowadays for goalies. but yeah the league dgaf i think.

after plastic became a thing, some players also started wearing plastic protective gear, but that wasn’t a requirement when it started and it just got more dangerous for players who hadn’t started wearing plastic protective gear

helmets weren’t required for all players until the 70s and neck guards are a thing, but aren’t required and few players actually wear them. (edit, actually, rookie playeres starting in the upcoming nhl season are required to wear them. the rest don’t)

and this is the “go fast on knife shoes, shoot rubber discs fast, slam people into glass, and punch them sport”

anyways yeah people are just like this and if protective gear feels heavy or restrictive then they just won’t want it.

[kal-asterock]

Okay good points but at the very least the twins should have cleats on, why the hell is that not required AT LEAST. Guys. Your toes? Your feet? Hello????

Did i make a dragon strikers oc and try to draw them in the drahon striker artstyle

Yes.

Yes i did.

His name is Aashni Zyran btw- he works at Asterock but is like a secretary/administration.

Note: The artstyle was very fun to try and replicate honestly-

[lilblueorchid]

i’m so glad some of the team for the show is here on tumblr, seeing y’all’s work and dedication just makes this fandom experience ten times better.

i wanted to ask, is there anything you can tell us about the writing system/language? me and a couple other fans have been trying to decode it with no luck haha!

Thank you! I'm glad to finally be sharing that love haha.

As for the language, it wouldn't be fun if you didn't struggle. Good luck <3

[somebbunny]

welp it was a worth a shot. we will keep cracking at it 🫡

[kal-asterock]

At least we (presumably) know it can be translated, that's better than nothing-

(😭)

This Reddit interaction made me laugh because genuinely, what are they teaching those kids!!

DRAGON STRIKER FANDOM!! I need your help!!

we here in the dragon striker discord are having fun theorizing, we had the bright idea to try and decode the written language. IT IS VERY HARD. i’ve collected a ton of samples of the writing to see if you all can help me decipher it :)

this one for sure means KEY! we know this because of how key stares at it/the camera zooms in on it during the banner trials.

this one means RAGNO, since it’s what he wrote when asked for his autograph.

this one’s from the tomb of agromar, so it probably says something like agromar but it is cut off.

this is sunspear’s list of the final two teams for the banner trials, which we know were pregrina, key, skadi, kamoho, and 1 unnamed other, vs ragno, ssyelle, and 3 unnamed others. (if anyone knows their names it would be appreciated.

i identified key’s name at the bottom of the left list which implies the left is his team, but it’s important to note sunspear points at the second-to-last name on the right list and says “nagatatsu.”

Here’s other clear shots of writing from the banner trials, and finally, what i’ve found so far:

thanks for any help i can get in deciphering this!
