I think we as a fandom completely brushed over the fact that Peril was forced to eat rocks? For like her whole childhood? What are the impacts of that? Does she still do it out of habit? I'm thinking that the 'black rocks' were probably coal, is that necessary for a firescales? Or does it just make her fire hotter? Now that she's stopped eating it (I assume) are there any positive or negative side effects? Does she have carbon poisoning from eating coal? Is she malnourished? Did she only eat coal? There are so many possibilities!
Scarlet was mentioned to have poisoned her food when she refused to eat the black rocks, so at the very least she got other food
Happy international clouded leopard day!
Clouded leopards are mainly endangered by deforestation for palm oil production so make sure to buy SUSTAINABLE palm oil!

and perhaps the hypothetical rainwing animus is... evil
mhm mhm.... mayhaps.....
I'm giving the rainwings an animus so they can have a cool enchanted palace like the seawings
hell yeah. they deserve it. it'd be fun to experiment with what sorts of things a rainwing animus would think to enchant.
EMERGENCY COMMISSIONS OPEN! 🚨
Hi everyone! About 9 months ago me and my partner took on my mum's cat as she was unable to care for him anymore, he's 15 years old and has become an important member of our family and household. Unfortunately he's come with some dental issues, which we have booked surgery for him to get fixed. He has surgery this week, but it's going to cost us £800. So, I've opened some emergency PAY WHAT YOU WANT COMMISIONS which is available on my Ko-Fi page .
Please take a look if you want to help out, or share this if you can. Reblogs are very appreciated, and every penny counts!
Please check the #myart tag on my page to see examples of my art, or take a look on my Ko-Fi.
I picture nightwings with the shoulder hunch / posture of hyenas. Nightwings but they're based on hyenas
VERY BASED I LOVE HYENAS
I kinda did this as well with nightwings having shorter back legs than their front legs! and I could definitely see them being bone eaters too, not wasting any part of a prey item.
this kinda shows off the shorter back legs thing.
hc that nightwing saliva is just The Worst and so sticky and unsanitary. Like even pre volcano they're just like that
very well could be! its a cool idea. probably was even more devastating in the early dragon history. sure now dragons have access to healers and salves that can help with infection, but early on a bite from a nightwing could be extremely fatal. maybe it has something to do with the way their fire works, needing extra saliva to coat the teeth so the enamel doesn't get damaged by the fire. This kinda makes it sound like nightwings are just dragon saint bernards but honestly good for them. I feel like its less useful for prey hunting, since most prey is so small it won't get away from a dragon, but definitely other dragons.

you have to release yourself from the pressure of writing Blorbo from Your Shows in your fics because that's literally impossible. instead you are writing Your Portrayal of Blorbo. everyone has different interpretations and headcanons and focuses on different things when writing characters and that's beautiful.
I know there are bigger problems, but I fucking hate the appropriation of the word "golem".
Just say "elemental construct" or something.
I don't think there's an argument here, it's a Jewish culture term... Invent your own terms and leave ours alone.
Flesh golem? That's a homunculus.
Magic caster created golem? That's a magical construct.
Naturally occurring golem? That's an elemental.
-
A setting without Jews by definition cannot have golems.
Only a Rabbi can create a golem.
I don't know, I grew up playing Dragon Quest, starting with the very first game, and I found the use of golems charming and flattering. I loved that an element of my culture was being used in a game I loved.
Maybe an exception should be made for cultures like Japan that so freely share themselves with the world; they should be allowed to use elements from other cultures all they want, just as I have written haiku in Yiddish and sell a shirt that said "Yudaya-jin"
Wouldn't that make America free to appropriate any culture too, though? No, because America imposes its culture on the world through physical and economic and linguistic imperialism. Japan doesn't (anymore); Japanese people largely make works for Japanese audiences that a lot of people outside Japan love and identify with.
The best example I've been given of Golems being represented well in a setting without Jews is, Feet Of Clay by Terry Pratchett, I think Terry did a fabulous job but even then I'm torn.
However it very much is currently and historically Japanese National Policy to use Otaku Culture internationally to foster cultural recognition, build soft power, and create a market for Japanese goods.
https://www.mofa.go.jp/policy/culture/exchange/pop/index.html
There are several Japanese works such as Outbreak Company and Gate that satirise the Government's use of Otaku culture to foster international soft power and cultural recognition, by moving that scenario to an interplanetary/interplanar push run by the military/military intelligence as a quiet conquest of the other world.
The Japanese Government is currently beefing with Crunchyroll over unsanctioned Western Localisation of Japanese Media.
Japanese people are very free with their culture partly because Shinto is open to everyone, and Buddhism is also open to everyone as they seek to liberate everyone from suffering and the cycle of reincarnation. Mostly they are free with their culture because it's National Policy and the cultural foundation of universalist religious practices just made it easier. This is very much not the same as the appropriation of Golems, Japanese people are capable of learning a different word.
I get what you're saying but using culture to build international goodwill can work both ways here. Many Japanese people may go their whole lives without meeting a Jew, but Dragon Quest is a tremendously popular phenomenon there. They will see Golems in Dragon Quest and some may wonder, where do they come from? And they might look it up and learn a lot about Judaism they wouldn't have otherwise, including about antisemitism and about our attitude towards words.
Dragon Quest VII has a group called the Dejans (now localized as Roamers) that are an amalgamation of Jews and Roma – again, a way to build international goodwill for Jews. Though they are not connected to the golems that are also in the game, unfortunately.
You're allowed to feel like the Roamers are good Jewish rep in the game, I haven't played the game full disclosure but I don't see it after reading the Roamer Encampment page of the Dragon Quest Wiki.
I don't think any people are wondering where the word Golem comes from, I think they generally think it's just the fantasy/DnD term for magic thing that walks. In the same way people don't think twice about the origins of the word Mana, they might incorrectly draw a parallel to the Hebrew; מן or Mahn/Mon (English: Manna). Māna is a Polynesian cultural term for the power and authority of a place, object, or person, but it has become the appropriated catch all term for magical/spiritual energy.
unless you want to teach small kids about a laundry list of sex acts, they're not going to even recognise many acts of CSA as sexual in nature. instead, we need to have children who are raised with an expectation of bodily autonomy and who feel comfortable complaining when they're made or asked to do things they don't feel comfortable with. we need children to have the expectation that those complaints will be taken seriously and that they'll receive backup to make sure situations like that don't continue. if their desires for bodily autonomy are consistently ignored, how can we expect them to speak out when something confusing and uncomfortable happens with their parent, cousin, or babysitter? we've already taught them that what they feel comfortable with doesn't matter
but do unicorns believe in me?
what are your thoughts on a rainwing palace? Like a big intimidating castle or smth, very fancy
Also, do you think they'd have a diplomatic one closer to the edge so visitors from other tribes wouldn't have to go Through The Rainforest?
kinda depends on the overall kingdom temperament in your setting! I think any buildings would mostly be made using wood and leaves and other plants. I think it would be cool if the palace was a massive collection of trees growing close together and over the course of years it was bent to grow in specific shapes, creating a giant winding tree castle structure with wide open rooms, wooden platforms, etc.
Wood (cut wood, not living wood) tends to decay and rot with how much rain the rainforest would get, so a big thing I think rainwings would invest in is ways to help divert the rain downwards with grooves, rain chains, gutters, etc so water isn't building up and weighing down buildings and whatnot.
maybe they use spiked log walls to ward off ground predators, and force anyone arboreal or flying to come out into the open.
If your rainwings are more diplomatic I could see meeting hubs at the edges of the rainforest for meetings! if they're more closed off or even hostile they might force people to go through. And if they're uncomfortable or disoriented then all the better. If you want to talk to the rainwings, you must be on their turf, in their element.
They could also import some terracotta from the mud kingdom for some more reinforced roofs.

we NEED to reintroduce "cis" to the regular tumblr lexicon. which men get to play in the world cup? which men are used in medicine trials? the world is designed for which men, exactly?
