I have a more succinct request this time, since you did Uzi before, how about a doodle of N this time? He's the resident golden retriever murder boy of Murder Drones. 0w0 also g'luck on your quest! XD

[VOTE GLENN CLOSE IN THE CHAMPIONSHIP ROUND AND GET A SKETCH REQUEST!!]

golden retriever murder boy is such an excellent flavor of murder boy you love to see it

[acevity]

Psst. Can we know about Eda's curse in the WoF AU? 0w0

i pick you up! THANK you for asking!!! casually sliding it under a read more

edas curse is actually firescales! she wasnt born with it, it was still inflicted by lilith, and with them being skywings it adds an extra “what the Fuck” factor since firescale dragons tend to be killed as hatchlings, and animus dragons too iirc?

SO lilith curses eda to appease king belos, who at this time has his clutches in the sky kingdom. the firescales puts a big bounty on eda’s head as suddenly shes incredibly dangerous and its turned the entire kingdom against her.

things cant go smoothly, of course, and it turns out the firescales curse is slowly cooking eda alive in a sense. she wasnt born with it, and the only indicator at first is her scale colors slowly washing out. it burns so hot it burns the pigment from her scales, and she has to use her animus magic to enchant the water she drinks to keep it from going at her insides too (think of like. Battlewinner, how she had her cauldron of lava? eda has a caldron of ice water that shes enchanted to soothe it. shes tried enchanting items to remove the curse, but its only temporary since lilith cursed her actual scales, her blood and her being in its entirety.)

she did use her powers to give king his collar which lets him touch her without being burned, for a short time. initially it was so she didnt accidentally set him aflame, but she ends up being grateful for doing it. and luz eventually gets her cape, which is made with flamesilk and enchanted for the same reason. objects dont seem to be affected, though, or her food. only other dragons and humans. a side effect of it being animus-touched instead of a born trait, perhaps!

So. Griffin spider breath. I actually theorize they're not actually real spiders! Luz used real spiders because that's what was available. But I think griffins themselves probably have the magical ability to create very realistic illusion spiders, since it's useful, both for confusing possible predators & maybe even some prey, provided griffins hunt. The book King reads said that Everything that originates on the Isle can use magic, so I figure that means the beasts too.

Freaking Illusion spiders. What a brilliant solution!

But that would also open another can of worms entirely, which is: why "spider" "breath"? Why these two things specifically, and this absurd combination of two very specific things into an illusion mechanism? I keep imagining a random illusion-gifted griffin seeing a dragon and thinking (as much as something with the brain of a pigeon can think) "I can do that", only to immediately see a spider and have its intent derailed into "do spider-dragon-breath illusion". And it must've worked, seeing as it's a thing now.

I mean, technically we all know the real explanation is "it's a funny joke", but I live for nothing if not the implications.

Hmm, if/when they establish more continuous contact with other sapient species, or begin traveling to other planets & what not, would the Alligator Hydras' paddles ever begin to include Members from outside their species?

Since there’s no formal process to being part of a paddle besides Acting Like A Friend, once they are around other sapients they end up in paddles and don’t even know it.

Fitz and Fen’s paddle includes a hapless human family who are not aware they are in a paddle, they just think this is how life is in Not-Florida. Sometimes you do a favor for a giant lizard and the next day five of them are in a pile on your front lawn. Que sera sera.

Hello. I'd probably choose the name Zipper. & I adore stories, happy & sad ones. I love to hear them & share them with others. I know a bit about a lot of stuff, & I would probably easily accept the strange rules of EU. I read, I draw, I smile at nearly everyone I pass by. I'm eager to help others, but not particularly great at keeping deadlines. I enjoy nature, but I rarely have enough energy to go to it. I adore animals, & try to befriend them constantly. & this entire thing is amazing. UwU

You dance your feet bloody at arevel. You can freely admit that it was a dumb mistake on your part, so walk inso boldly when you had no friends here. The worst part is that the music isn’teven catchy; it’s some douchebag on a harp playing what sounds suspiciouslylike Wonderwall. Fortunately a kindly soul pulls you away before irreversibledamage is done; you’ve ruined your boots (and they were good boots, too!) andyou’re in debt, but you could still be doing the Cursed Foxtrot, so you’ll paythe debt with interest.

Does Rook look after Pawn the way Iris used to look after her? (I'm not sure if Pawn even exists in your au, I just saw her on zipper's blog and heard that she was and oc made for your au)

It's like a separate AU for an AU lol

I'm still figuring stuff out

At first, I think Rook would be very distant toward Pawn. She spent most of her time alone on a rock, now this small.... thing wont leave her alone.

She'll warm up to Pawn eventually,

but given her history, I dont think Rook would be able to show the same level of affection she once got from her agate.

She would still look after Pawn though, but in her own way.

Glad you managed to get the post working. It's a great collection of information about the theory & I do enjoy the theory a LOT. So thank-you for collecting all that information & sharing it. & thank-you fro helping the theory exist.

Aaa, I am pumped that it’s working now! It was a bit of an annoying hassle getting tungle dot hell functioning properly, but eh, that’s life for ya’. 

Glad you enjoyed my crazed ramblings, eheheh.

Hi Connor, Gavin. This is a really neat thing you're doing. Unfortunately, I don't know any androids personally, or I'd ask them, so I hope you don't mind me asking you instead, Connor. But, how much control do you have over minor bits of your body. For example, can you wiggle your ears? Or twitch your nose like a bunny. Not all humans can do stuff like that with any real ability. Can you do any of that Gavin? Or cross your eyes? Or, the best for looking silly, touch your nose with your tongue?

Gavin: (laughing slightly) Holy shit, I feel like I’m back in grade school.

Connor: I… can’t say I’ve tried to do any of these things before.

Connor: While I was designed to be dexterous, I’m not sure if anyone at CyberLife would have considered ‘twitching my nose like a bunny’ to be an adequate test of my motor controls.

Connor: Or a sufficient use of them.

Gavin: You gotta be able to do at least some of these, though. Haven’t you ever tried to cross your eyes?

(Detective Connor attempts to do so. Detective Reed snickers.)

Connor: ..

Connor: I have now, and can report that I am capable of this.

(His eyes are still crossed as he speaks. Although he’s stifling his laughter with his fist, Detective Reed is clearly still amused.)

Gavin: Well, that settles it. You gotta try all of them.

(Detective Connor’s eyes have returned to normal.)

Connor: What? Why?

Gavin: (grinning) If you can do one, you can probably do some of the others. Gotta test it out now.

Connor: (frowning slightly) You just want to laugh at me.

Gavin: Oh, yes. Absolutely.

Connor: (smirking) Then it’s only fair that you try these too.

Gavin: What!? Why?

Connor: It’s not fair if only you get any amusement out of this.

Gavin: I already tried this crap when I was a kid. Licking my elbow and shit. I don’t need to do it again.

(Detective Connor raises an eyebrow, still smirking.)

Connor: (teasingly) I hardly think you have the same flexibility now as you did when you were younger.

(Detective Reed narrows his eyes in response. A smirk creeps onto his face, the corner of his lips playfully darting up.)

Gavin: You wanna bet? I’m not gonna let some fancy prototype like you trash talk me like this.

(You watch two idiot detectives try to lick their elbows for the next five minutes.)
