My my those eyes like fire // I'm a winged insect // you're a funeral pyre.

As with all art I get I require a backup post, so here's my dragon OC Starling and my friend Cotton's Moth by the incredible Razrroth over on FR! I am absolutely over the moon, I've been looking at them since i got these back and I'm literally vibrating with affection for my knife hucking son and his mean pirate boyfriend.

The Starling spreads their wings, the Moth is Pulling their strings- One final flight for vanity...

Friendship is making expensive money moves with your friend and then doing the digital equivalent of slapping your barbies into each other and making kiss kiss noises.

Starling and Moth are both fully gened G1s that my friend SweetCotton and I are roleplaying/writing paired lore for together! Starling is a Lanternkeeper, an escapee from a clan based in the Blacksand Annex that sought to have him mind the fire of their grand beacon for his entire life- a task he found grating, and above all else- half fulfilling, as unlike his predecessor, his Charge lies not with the flame of the beacon, but somewhere else- an urge that would send him from his home in the Annex into the company of the sideshow associated with Vaudemire Way.

But things of value always have their price in treasure, and Moth and his crew are quickly hired to bring the Starling home, a pirate-con-mercenary convinced at first this is a matter of a stolen bird. Their first meeting occurs in the canvas walls of a circus- and establishes for Starling exactly what his charge is- the very bounty hunter sent to drag him back into the hum-drum life of boredom he'd tried so terribly hard to escape.
