Wistfulness about the word draconity
"Draconity" is a term that doesn't get used much any more, I think
It was what we called the state of Being Dragon, a bit more wieldy than "otherkinness" or therianthropy
I liked that little word. It encompassed a community of people some of whom I knew, some of whom I didn't, but that always seemed to manage to avoid unnecessary conflict. When things went bad, I never saw dragons fight with tooth and claw; they retreated, invisibly, and the community got quieter and quieter until it eventually didn't hold together much any more.
But-- I feel like I sensed a core of something in those dragons that felt common and unique to them. A particular kind of quiet solidity, steadfastness within the longing, and a manifest willingness to stay childlike at heart. They didn't always say much, but when they did it was resonant and felt Real. I see it in people who call themselves dragons today, too. Other people are strong, or stoic, or playful, and in every way as good as dragons at these things, and dragons aren't always all these things; but there is a Vibe I get from them sometimes. Like the way people are protective, but a stone symbolises protection.
Perhaps to be Dragon is to clothe oneself in a certain set of symbols, an archetypal armour that moulds the self to a certain eternal pattern.
@irisjaycomics @leafnoodle I want you both to know that this post keeps crashing tootdon when I try to view it while logged in to awoo. He's escaping the matrix.
A rare shot of the dreaded glitchwyrm as he lurks through the error fields, his form blending in perfectly amidst the artifacts of the 'net.
Not many have seen m∅rr1s, but the wyrm's name spreads far and wide.
A commission from @irisjaycomics, who did a *spectacular* job of bringing this character to life!

pacific rim opinions
Verdict: a little less character development, a little more punching, and still extremely good.
finished a commission for @phenokage today of their newest giant robot character BRAKT, who i also helped design! I could basically draw giant weird-looking robot characters until the sun explodes, so this was an absolute treat to work on. (PSST, COMMISSION ME TO DRAW YOUR ROBOT CHARACTERS)
I have a friend who's a baby transmasc, looking for fellow trans masc for some discussion and possibly direction.
Can either act as messenger, or give out mutual contact info so they can talk to you directly.
If you are transmasc leaning, but don't feel comfortable. Please don't stress yourself.
I know some of you are in horrible situations.
Take care of yourselves you wholesome fab beans.
I'm going through the basic Rust guides, everything's cool, nifty stuff, blah blah blah.
