Happy to see you back, I always love answering your questions :D
Gonna stick them under a Read More again, but enjoy and let me know if you have any follow up questions! <3
What claims does Error have?
Error is a bit of a mix bag of magic elements tbh, mostly cuz I want to include all his eye colours XD His main claim is Carnage, and he is a demi god of that element to aid the Maid of Bones. He has a light and water sub claims as well, most likely due to either carrying or having absorbed magic items. He also has a slight connection to the Void, but he’s also terrified of the Void realm and magic.
What do the bad Sanses think of Cross and Epic being together? Especially since they don't have kids together
They were VERY suspicious about Epic when they realised who he was and that Cross had picked him as a talonmate. Epic is technically Cross’ first mate, he just didn’t talk about Epic to the others because while he loves them it was also kind of nice to disconnect from the Nights and Stars from time to time. Cross is probably the most relaxed and dorky when with Epic because Epic gives the same energy back.
When the other’s did find out about their relationship they were all basically like over protective parents, following Epic around, doing background checks, questioning him once Cross actually invited him to the dens, etc. Epic was none too phased about it, but Cross was a bit embarrassed XD
Even while they were all cold towards him at first they all eventually warmed up to him. Nightmare was the last, but when Cross came to him to ask if he could help with Epic’s eye and nightmares he kind of developed a soft spot for him.
Epic actually ends up joining the Night flight eventually! The other’s are very relaxed and open minded so they never take issue with them becoming heartmates despite not wanting eggs together.
I’d love to hear more about Blue, i haven't asked much about him
Blue is a lightning guardian! He was very determined to join the royal flight and capture a human someday, but those ideas changed when he came across a few books about dragons and human riders. He’s been enamoured by the idea of having a human partner ever since, but he still keeps up the act of wanting to fight one instead.
His brother is a fire scout who was sure Blue would end up as a nurse due to his sweet and caring character, and was a little alarmed when Blue started growing scales and became a guardian. Little Blue is very determined to be a royal guard after all uvu
Is Ink romantically involved with anyone? Is he aroace like canon?
He is aroace! He’s technically talonmates with Dream and Blue, but it’s more a queer platonic relationship and doesn't follow the traditional definition of talons. He’s of course also thornmates with Error, and I’m playing with the idea of him being at least wingmates with Cross since I like the two of them having some kind of bond.
Does Geno exist? What is he like? Does he have a brotherly bond with Fresh and Error?
He does! He’s stuck in the Void but I haven’t thought too much of his side of the story yet. I think I’d like him to have some kind of connection to Fresh and Error, probably mostly Fresh at the start since I can see Error being terrified of the Void.
Do dragons follow the rule of males being more colorful to attract females?
No, mostly cuz there are no biological males and females since the dragons are hermaphrodites. There’s definitely dragons with similar traits though, they’re just more randomly genetic than anything else.
Was just wondering if you do your asks thru here now? I posted an ask in canyontale and I see youre answering them in this blog so idk maybe I missed smth
I take them on both! I tend to get them mainly here but I don't mind either, I've just had a lot of asks recently so I've been a lil slow getting to new ones XD; Very eager to get to yours tho cuz it will give an excuse to ramble a bit about Epicross again :D
Can dragons change their relationships? Say, for example, Cross and Nightmare are talonmates, for a short period of time they become heartmates and then go back, or in reverse, they become wingmates. do dragons decide what bond they have with others?
They do! While they don't decide who they bond with, they are in complete control of what kind of relationship they share with their bonded.
I'd say thornmates are the one that get changed the most, since being bonded for a long time usually ends up with the dragons warming up to each other. Then again, a lot of them keep referring to each other as thorns just to get at each other. They're close now, but they will keep antagonising the other out of love :D
Going back and forth between wings and talons isn't that rare either, as sometimes they wanna test the water, and at times realise they work better platonically and so one.
Heartmates are the ones that rarely ever change. The bond between hearts is really strong and it's not a relationship that's made lightly. If they were to go back to talons there would probably be a lot of regret involved and there's a high chance they will become heartmates again after. Heartmates only truly split up upon death or if there's some really strong betrayal involved.
do light dragons become flashlights if they open their mouths
is Cross the gang's flashlight when in dark places
If they're reeving up a breath attack then yeah! That it might cause a strain in their throat to keep that up without actually using the attack XD
Cross is able to create light orbs to light up dark areas tho! And I always imagine his magic ends up clinging to his fur after intense battles, creating lil specks of light that make him glow a bit. He's usually quick to shake these off tho, incase he needs to stay hidden
