FINALLY REDID THIS PIECE THIS TOOK WAY TOO LONG (original Under Cut)

👁️ ㅅ 👁️

ok so, I skimmed the books and:

yeah, Clearsight never actually CALLS them “BeetleWings”, she just compares them to beetles. But she also only remarked about two tribes, LeafWings and an unarmed tribe, leading many to believe that this was an earlier version of SilkWings that the Fandom had nicknamed “BeetleWings”. The funny thing? They don’t actually exist. In fact, the place I could have sworn I read “BeetleWings” doesn’t mention the word “beetle” even once

Specifically, I was thinking of Lady Scarab’s explanation of how HiveWings came to be, where it says:

notice that she never actually says “beetle”, she says “Maybe they weren’t called SilkWings back then. ShimmerWings or Flibbergibbets or something in the old language, I don’t know. But Clearsight married one, and then another one when the first one died, and had an alarming number of dragonets with each one, and then their dragonets and their dragonets’ dragonets kept going, marrying Ye Olde SilkWings or what have you, until there were enough of them to be considered their own tribe. HiveWings.”

So the answer? Technically, yes, they came from SilkWings and NightWings. But according to fanon interpretations, that old version of SilkWings are colloquially known as BeetleWings, so… yes and no?

here’s the evolution tree for reference! Also explains why Mudwings look so much like SeaWings*

*none of these are to scale

finally caught a break during travelling so here’s a Darkstalker

You might not want to hear this but people with anger issues and/or violent impulses need social accommodations. And no by accommodation I don't mean walking on eggshells around them, actual accommodations for people with these issues comes down to giving them a space away from what's triggering them to process their emotions and calm themselves down same as what kind of accommodations people who get sensory overload or just any kind of overwhelmed. There is no moral value to having anger issues or violent impulses, people with them are deserving of accommodation the same as everyone else.

ayyye, congrats on surpassing 100k!

you can tell this website is autistic as hell because someone posts a video with a mildly catchy phrase in it and no one shuts up about it for an extended period of time. or image even. image with a mildly catchy phrase in it even. we love phrases here on tumblr dot com love to repeat them. due to the autism

Got bored and made an evolution tree for Wings of Fire— currently working on (re-)designing each tribe (except the “Common Ancestor” one since it’s more of a vague collective of various dragons)

currently using a sling to keep my left arm from moving too much and irritating it further. Downside is the sling is very, very old and the strap is disintegrating on my neck, as old foam does

TW: needle mention (no images)

POV: The doctor puts the needle too high in your arm (like, waaaaay too high) and now you get to spend a day experiencing what it’s like to live with one arm (the arm hurts too much to move beyond simple hand gestures that involve no shoulder use)

Oh, I’m afraid I’m not familiar with this tone indicator?

I uh… managed to soft lock myself (Games Ending)

Somehow the Narration for the “rate your experience” part triggered while I was in the room with the leaderboard (like before I’d left) and the door closed behind me upon entering the left door, but the next door was also closed, trapping me. And the pause menu is no longer red fsr. Huh.

Arthur: So you have magic?

Merlin: Uh… yeah?

Arthur: for how long?

Merlin: Since birth.

Arthur: And you’re a dragon lord?

Merlin: Yeah my father was and it gets passed down.

Arthur: Sounds like royalty.

Merlin: No? I don’t think so.

Arthur: Yes it is, that means you’re a noble, a lord. We can get married now.

Merlin: WHAT???

yeah, I do :’)
