thinking about imperials for too long makes me feel SICK if I was an imp living in a post-luminax society I would become the joker.
imagine your entire culture & lifestyle revolving around staying as far away from your brethren as possible so you don't accidentally become a Huge Multiheaded Zombie. imagine your own god hating/fearing you and referring to you as 'a mistake that must be rectified.' imagine feeling so alone in a world full of dragons that can comfortably coexist with entire clans of their kin. and then imagine Luminax showing up. I know the other breeds are weird about it I fucking know it. I know they finally understand why imperials prefer to stay away from each other and why they're so specific in the way they bury their dead. I know some of them have suddenly started avoiding their imperial clanmates and become acutely aware of just how many imperials are in their clan. I know some of them have become hostile and threatening. I know the amount of imperials who have suddenly been exiled from their clans for no apparent reason is greater than 0. I know some pearlcatchers are gloating about the whole thing.
I am going to gnaw my own arm off.
WHAT WAS IMPERIAL CULTURE LIKE BEFORE THE FIRST EMPEROR ROSE... what were they like when they were still light's favored first children. I'm going to kill someone.
YES. yes exactly you get it.
