Bessmetten Clan Lore - Riot of Rot

In the days leading up to the Riot of Rot the dragons of Bessmetten come up from their tunnels, close them up along with the clan gates and prepare plenty of live prey so that they can well, riot. The week of the Riot is when Aradia encourages her dragons to turn off their higher brain functions and give in to their Plaguebringer inspired blood lust.

There is a slight problem however, only about forty percent of the clan is Plague-born and most of them were born there. Many non-Plague dragons don’t feel the same murderous rush as their comrades and children, the first Riot of Rot for these parents is often a terrifying experience.

By the end of the Riot the clan grounds are often strewn with blood, bones and other body parts from the prey they spent the week chasing. Many dragons will need to see a healer afterward for scratches and bites but usually nothing too serious happens.

On the final night of the Riot when everyone is starting to calm Aradia brings the clan together to hold a ceremony to praise the Plaguebringer, building a shrine out of the debris of their clan wide murder spree that they then burn to signify the new year.

I got Viper the spines gene and lOOK AT THESE BABY PENGUINS!

[theplaguenest]

How even?

Casual reminder that it is in fact canon that dragons have flight specific physical attributes (ex: water dragons have gills, etc.). Site art only displays ‘neutral’ lines. :>

Well, that correction took around five minutes. Come on FR, do you see people with their necklaces hung over their shoulders? Step it up.

My first five egg nest hatched!

The two boys are on the ends and the ones in the middle are all girls!

[theplaguenest]

Quick question: Is egg rot still a thing?

Cause I might be sitting on two clutches for a while.

When coliseum dragons bring home new items:

Food hoard/farming dragons: What the fuck is this. Where did you get this.

Coli dragons: *shrug* idk man it was there okay I grabbed some.

Farming dragon: *holds up new plant* what where WHAT IS GOING ON. DID YOU JUST GRAB WHATEVER THE HELL YOU SAW. HOW DO YOU EVEN KNOW WE CAN EAT THIS.

*holds up green hedgehog* WHAT IS THIS. IS IT A PLANT OR A MEAT. WHAT AM I SUPPOSED TO FEED THIS THING TO GROW MORE. Who am I supposed to feed it to.

'listen man if you don't want it give it back' 'No it's the clan's now.'

Okay, now that I’ve got examples laid out, here comes the big question: how much do I charge for these things? A safe time estimate for one is about two-three hours since I’m a slow poke. I’m thinking a couple hundred thousand treasure or more, but not sure how much would be reasonable. Thoughts?

[theplaguenest]

OH OH! On the note of the post I just reblogged! Could you imagine if we got a breed of dragon that's like those cave bugs they  found [agressively can't remember what their called] were the females straight up impregnate the males and then when you breed them with others you would have to breed them with with the same sex!

Like I Don't think it'll happen cause that'd take a lot of extra codin' and stuff BUT IMAGINE!

The biggest FR disappointments for me are

In all the dragon species with sexual dimorphism, the males are the more ornamented sex. Meaning that it’s following the most “traditional” form of sexual selection—females are choosy, sperm is cheap. You could definitely make an argument for mutual degrees of sexual selection for some species, a la a number of sea bird species, but there are NO dragon species where males have higher parental investment than females—examples of that IRL includes sea horses, giant water bugs, red phalaropes, Mormon crickets.

Along the same lines, all of the beast clans have obvious sexual dimorphism, smaller females, OBVIOUS BREASTS WHY DOES A SNAKE NEED BREASTS WHY DOES A CENTAUR NEED BREASTS DO THEY HOLD THEIR BABIES TO FEED THEM WHERE DO ALL THE BABIES’ HORSEYLEGS GO???, and thank God the latest inclusions gave us “feminine” beast clan people that deal physical damage, and “masculine” casters.

It’s like—

In the whole beautiful grand complicated world of sexual selection, why have they gone with the most simplistic, misogynistic and uninteresting interpretation?

I want a type of dragon where the males are small and drab and the females have ridiculous crests and/or are covered in spikes—I want beastclan warriors with no visible differences between male and female, flat-chested muscular snake women, giant buff Raptorik warrior females and their smaller, faster, more maneuverable males, because what do you think real life raptors do? Hint: THE MALES ARE PRETTY MUCH UNIVERSALLY SMALLER. Forget about Maren with obvious breasts—give me Maren that start out male and then switch to female when they get big enough. Give me hermaphroditic species, give me something about cryptic female mate choice, give me something MORE than males that are fancier than females, or fantasy creatures with clearly defined boobs!

So I'm sleepy and really in the mood for something gritty, so it would be radical if you all told be about you're most deplorable dragons!
