Space enjoyer

another age swap au!

this time with coco, tartah, and custas

Grisha: it's either me or your bum ass tarot club do I look like I'm joking?

Klein: you look like my future husband ♥️

Klein is blind to the beast he's dating but his friends see it all too clearly

Tarot Club: there are so many red flag how can you not see it

Klein: oh really? Name one

Also Klein: I like being Grisha’s fiancé

(Some of these asks are ancient at this point sorry!)

Flight Rising: I used to be an avid Flight Rising player (joined in 2017 when I was 13 years old), but I don’t play anymore. No reason in particular, my interest just died out. I sometimes hop on to read the news and take a look at new content though

Wings of Fire: So I actually didn’t know anything about it, but every comic about Swordfish brought on a gazillion comments of “is that a Seawing??” (mostly on TikTok), so I got curious and read through, I think, the first issue of the graphic novel? And although it has everything I like in theory, I just didn’t get hooked nor attached to any of the characters. I do like the dragon designs though! And yes, Swordfish does look similar to a Seawing - not intentionally though :)

Both Swordfish and Hopper are actually from the game Istaria: Chronicles of the Gifted! It’s an old MMORPG where you can play as a dragon (and other fantastical races) and it was THE game of my childhood!!! These are the “canon” appearances of Swordfish and Hopper from the game I drew up right now:

Try making cute dragon comics with these faces lol

But yeah, Istaria was the birthplace of these two, before they developed into their own thing. I still rediscover the game every 1,5 years and hop on to play! It has a very small playerbase, but they have a tight-knit Discord server with very-very sweet players. The game is very grindy with outdated graphics, but it singlehandedly shaped my taste in basically everything. I live and breathe the Istarian aesthetic I really do love it so much. So I really recommend checking Istaria out because I want to pay homage to this uniquely beautiful game! Maybe you’ll even see Swordfish or Hopper running around
