Dude we’re twinning!!

Pls tell me about your dragon stuff :3!! Id be super interested in hearing abt your kin

Omg that is so cool !! I'd love to talk about my experience :D

I've been fascinated with dragons ever since I could remember! I'm an artist, and for the longest time I drew dragons and only dragons. In my childhood I always gravitated towards media that had dragons in it, such as dragon tales, pete's dragon, dragonheart, eragon, spyro, and a lot more but those were my main favorites :) I also had a ton of books about dragons, I'd always beg my mom to get me anything and everything related to dragons! When I played with other kids, I always had to be a dragon or there had to be dragons involved, or I wasn't interested. For the longest time, I felt this sense of longing to be a dragon. I felt like my real body wasn't really me, that I wasn't human, and it took me a long time to sort these feelings out! Especially since I'm also a trans man, but I've realized now that it's not just gender dysphoria.

I'm coming from the furry fandom, and I have quite a few dragon ocs but I've never drawn my dragon self! I think I'll give it a try soon, but I am a white dragon with iridescent feathered wings and underbelly. I also have a fluffy mane and tail tuft, I do have scales on the rest of my body but they are small. I sort of do look like magic the dragon beanie baby, which is why I feel so connected to that little guy XD

A harpy’s magic is in their genetics, they don’t really have an innate power (as many other species do as well, having a magic ability isn’t a guarantee if you’re not human). Harpy genetics follow the laws of magic, they’re inherently violent and dominant lol essentially ripping out genes of the other donor that are beneficial and subsuming them into their own, hence why mixed-species harpies are still mostly harpy.

Even ‘half’ harpies aren’t really half, as genetics becomes a qualified science and modern technology allows for DNA to be sequenced and analyzed they’ll come to realize that the harpy genetics are so dominant that even a ‘half-harpy’ (1 harpy parent 1 other parent) is still well over 50% harpy, and their offspring will likewise be more harpy than any other donor species.

It’s not a glamourous magical ability XD but it still counts. So Fatima can’t really fake it, and I mentioned on the discord that magic will inherently ‘argue’ with any natural magic within a person’s body, so any magic/glamors/potions she would manage to make would be volatile, ‘argumentative’, prone to failure, explosion, and inherently risky to make as is.

The reason humans can practice magic is because their natural magic is completely and utterly neutral. It allows the magic they’re working with to act predictably and maintain a stability that isn’t possible with others.

Hey, have a wip with magic in it? Want some questions for developing that worldbuilding of yours? Reblog to have people send you some of the numbers below!

Are there any recreational uses of magic? In games, hobbies, or otherwise? Or is it too important/difficult/dangerous for that?

How does magic affect the wildlife? If it’s only available to a limited species, how do these species use the magic to interact with wildlife? Hunting, animal keeping, gardening?

What careers require magic use? How so, and how are those in these careers treated by society?

What negative effects does magic have on the user? On their appearance, behaviour, or physical or mental condition?

What is the “source” of magic? Is it inside people, or does it come from some external source? Is it everywhere, or only concentrated in certain spots?

Are there certain people with stronger magic/more access to magic than others? How rare are these people? How are they treated by society?

How well understood is magic by people? What is education like for the topic of magic?

Are there certain identifiers for magic users? Appearance or behaviour-linked?

Are there any tools that help with magic use? Physical objects, or words to say, or tricks to concentrate better?

Are there categories of magic? Can a single person use more than one of these categories, or can one person only use one? Are some people naturally better at certain categories than others?

Is the majority of the world aware of the existence of magic? If so, what is the general populace’s opinion of it? If not, how is it kept secret? Or is it not intentionally hidden?

What are some things that even magic can’t do? What are some things that you couldn’t do without magic?

When magic is being used, is there any obvious indication? Does something about the magic user’s appearance change, or is there a sound or appearance or smell, etc. of the magic itself?

What symbols are linked to magic? How is magic often depicted in illustrations? Are there different words for magic/types of magic?

3) What is your character's outlook on their magic?

T: Tamar loves when he's able to use her magic to the benefit of others. Whenever the opportunity to heal arises, she's on it. She's haunted by her new abilities, though; necromancy put her on edge long before the Plague, and now that she possesses the ability to curse, she must double and triple-check herself. That raw power is a burden she never asked for.

M: Martín loves his magic. It makes him feel closer to his mother (rest her soul), and bringing others joy through it is a bonus. Glimmer spells are an easy escape for him, and he'll be reluctant to admit they distract him from facing his own issues.

7) What kind of applications does their magic have into their daily life?

T: Tamar uses her water magic for a Hot Relaxing Bath whenever the mood strikes (which is often). Since she leaves the divination services to Asra, she prepares healing concoctions for injured/ill customers, treating most maladies on-sight. She'll often meditate, humming or playing her handpan drum to rebalance her mental/emotional state.

M: It's how he makes bank, babey! Martín will put on one-man shows feat. his increasing arsenal of glimmer effects, and occasionally does a fire show for shock value. He also help with "makeup"/costuming at the community theater.

10) How did your character learn that they were capable of magic?

T: Tamar's parents were waiting for her to show signs of magic. They watched and listen to her every move once she could speak. When she was 6, she snuck out at night and wandered away from their campsite. She tripped in the dark and scraped her hands and knees. She screamed in shock/pain, but when she hit a certain pitch, she felt her wounds close. Her parents heard her scream + saw her heal herself; her training began the next morning.

M: Martín's mother essentially raised him backstage. Her theatre troupe baffled him: the same few actors could completely transform into other people on a whim. So at 5 he started mirroring their warm-ups. He played with old costumes and messed with makeup during rehearsals. At 9 he was experimenting with more intricate makeup-- he had a clear image of what he wanted to look like, and the next moment his face transformed to match his imagination. He scared himself and ran to his mom, who revealed that she, too, had magic, and worked with him during her downtime to hone his skills.

OHOHOHOH QUIRKLESS???

Hmm I'll leave him like that for hmmm 5 asks, no but it makes me feel guilty :((
