Quick update: Sorry for lack of communication since the poll ended! A discord is currently in progress! Watch this space and I’ll be posting more info soon.
If I were to make a discord to basically be a social hub for Dragonkin, do you think you would join it?
Yes!
I’d have to think about it
Nah
If I’m going to make something like this, it’s really important to me to have the input of the community and make sure it’s there to serve everyone - and also to make sure everyone can get what they’d most want out of it.
I’m also aware from many of the messages I’ve received that a lot of dragonkin who follow me would really like to meet and make friends with other dragonkin, because I’m aware this is a niche community and it can feel a bit, well, isolating at times. So that being said I’d really like your input! :)
Also if you have any suggestions for what you like to see on a future discord, (For finding friends from past lives?) (For artwork/artists?) (For games or possibly scheduled social events?) please add it as a comment or tag and maybe we’ll have another poll at a later date to decide on those kind of things if I get a positive response for the idea :)
Hi. Can I have an aesthetic for a dark grey fire dragon who lives in the forest/mountains and hoards rocks?

Dragon vocals!
When i first found out that i was dragonkin, i was a little confused on vocals. I didn’t know what sounds dragons made or how to make those sounds. So, i’ve made a list of sounds and how to do them, i hope this helps :) Lmk if i missed any sounds!
Growl - this is a low, deep sound that should come from the back of your throat. Try making an ‘r’ sound! You can look at videos of other animals (like big cats) growling to get an idea of the noise!
Hiss - This is similar to how a cat hisses! When a dragon does it, it’s generally much lower and slower than a cats fast, high-pitched hiss. Try to make a ‘sh’ sound but stress on the ‘s’. Your tongue should be on the top of your mouth, with the sound coming from either side.
Roar - This can be a little tricky, it’s not just shouting! It’s a bit similar to the growl. It should be low and deep, with a bit of ‘rumble’ to it. Try saying ‘roar’ but less definitively. You shouldn’t be ‘saying’ it, but follow the pattern, if that makes sense? Start by growling (your ‘r’ sound), followed by a deep ‘shout’ (the ‘oa’) and then back down to a growl (the ‘r’ again.) This can be noisy so practice when you’re home alone or in a sound proof room so you don’t disturb your family and neighbours too much!
Next is the ‘emotional’ noises. Now, really, a dragon can make a variety of noises other than hiss, growl and roar, so these aren’t set in stone. Feel free to do whatever feels natural! But these are just some basic emotional sounds to give a bit of a guideline.
To show love - Dragons may ‘purr’ like cats, however it will be a bit different. A dragons purring is mostly a growl, but softer and quieter. You can watch videos of cats purring to get an idea!
To show aggression - Dragons will growl and roar loudly when aggressive! They may also hiss.
To show fear - When a dragon is scared they may ‘whimper’, like a hiss but softer, or they may growl to show that they will fight. To make the ‘whimper’ or hiss noise, make a hissing noise then make it quieter and softer. When growling in fear you can add a bit of a stutter.
To alert - Dragons will likely make a high pitched, loud noise like a screech. It may have a bit of panic to it. Think of it like a ‘hree’ or ‘shree’ but loud, like you’re shouting it! To make it, say ‘hree’ or ‘shree’, but like a roar, don’t define the word too much. Make it high pitched!
Keep in mind, you don’t have to do all of these, or any at all! make whatever noises feel natural. For the emotional ones, they can be useful for doing quadrobics or mental shifts! It makes you feel pretty connected and natural, making the same noise as your kintype would to react :)
can i request an aesthetic? a forest living dragon, white and feathery with yellow eyes and horns, with sort of a magical theme with crystals or a cave? yeah a magical theme

Dragons are so good at sleeping and resting, sometimes they do it for a thousand years. They snore smoke and lash their tails as they dream. Resting deeply, knowing no one would dare disturb them and they are completely safe.
RAGHGHFY i want otherkin friends. hmu >:)
i’m a lung dragon, whose main element is water. i have two dens— one is a cave in my forest, the other is an underwater cave. good for hiding my hoard lol
my favorite things are, of course, water, as well as plants, shells, bones, crystals, sea glass, coral, and really anything shiny!
as far as my human life goes, i draw, sing, crochet, and play games (i have a lot of multiplayer ones too, but mostly computer)! i’m disabled and a proud plant and cat parent, as well as a draconic, water, and plant witch >:)
i have other kintypes and theriotypes, but dragon is my biggest one. any and all otherkin welcome, i’d love to meet some new people :D rb, like, dm, or send an ask if you’re interested pleaseeee
The space dragon urge to swallow a large chunk of space rock whole, because I crave the raw minerals.
May I request an aesthetic for a mountain dwelling dragon? Red scales, standard western dragon, yellow eyes, ram horns. Looking for sort of snowy, icy themes.

A green dragon strolling through a sunny forest, wings relaxed and stirring leaves on the ground, sinuous neck stretched towards the sky, claws sinking into soft earth, able to sense every rustle of foliage and breath of animals and sweet smell of wildflowers and pine. Enjoying the beauty of the world in a way unique to dragonkind
Hi! could I have a moodboard for a cream and green speckled western dragon who lived in a boreal forest/taiga/tundra who hibernated during the winter months, with themes of plants and moss agate? Thank you so much!

Hello ^^ no request, just curious to know your thoughts on how some dragons evolved to consume rocks! I was a dragon who didn't have rocks in its diet, so I'd like to know what it was like. Did you eat them for stimulation? Did they have a flavor? Were they a fuel of sorts? Is it to regulate weight for one reason or another like how crocodiles eat rocks to keep from floating too high?
To be honest I have speculated on this a fair bit, and the answer I’ve come up with is that,
It’s likely different dragons evolved to swallow rocks for different reasons. Some for the reasons you’ve listed, and some for other reasons.
I personally ate rocks for a couple different reasons:
- Partially for the minerals (salt, calcium etc)
- Partially because the rocks in my stomach helped me to grind up fibrous plant matter in my stomach and well as bone fragments so they could be more easily digested.
Fun fact: Many animals today still swallow stones and pebbles for this exact reason! The stones they swallow are called gastroliths.
These grindstones have been found in the stomachs of modern day crocodiles, alligators, seals, and some herbivorous birds!
Animals who make use of gastroliths often lack the necessary grinding teeth to completely and effectively masticate their food. For instance, a crocodile swallows its food whole, but it doesn’t stop to crunch up the bones on the way down.
✨So Mother Nature figured it out by taking the long way round instead of just giving animals the right kind of jaws and teeth ✨
But it’s a fact of nature: evolution is lazy and takes shortcuts wherever it can.
I hope you enjoyed learning about gastoliths with me today🎉🥰
And to answer your other questions:
- It was very satisfying to crinchcronch rocks, especially feldspar and limestone. The softer rocks crumbled very easily which was satisfying, but the harder ones were nice to chip away at and gnaw on.
- Different rocks tasted different, but most of them had a kind of dusty cold flavour (?) if that makes sense. There wasn’t a lot in terms of strong flavours to be honest but it was more the texture and coldness of them that was appealing.
- I’ve heard some dragonkin say that they swallowed rocks to keep in their gizzard as a kind of firestarter to produce a spark when they rubbed together. The purpose was to ignite gas produced in the gas bladder/second stomach/applicable organ to aid in fire breathing. Unfortunately fire breathing wasn’t a skill I possessed so I don’t have tonnes of info about this one lol.
But yes thank you for asking the question! I do find stuff like this absolutely fascinating as you might be able to tell lol. But I hope you enjoyed hearing what I had to say about it hehe
✨If anyone has anything else to add on the subject of rockeating, please do add to this post! I’ll be adding this to my blog directory for easy reference✨
Hey to the person who requested an aesthetic for a green and black dragon (?) (I think) I messed up and sent an unfinished version to you (answered privately) I don’t know how I managed to fuck it up so badly but here we are lol.
I can’t remember your username but I know you sent the ask on the 23rd Nov.
Would you possibly send the request again please and I promise not to fuck it up this time lmao
Edit: The person resent the request! crisis averted (:
