boosting my Elderbrook tab again, an old dragon fodder rescue! they're sorted by ID and have a simple bio code by me. there's over 100 dragons who are all so different, below is just some.
most are listed on the AH, but I am happy to send dragons over for 10g or some food or whatever if you'll be nice to them. Just send me a message or CR and I'll take em off the AH :] 👍

Ok so since my last post about Palestine on this blog*, which I spent multiple days writing to try to make it as clear as possible where I stand and how I feel about both what is happening and how people are using their couch activism to do nothing but get internet points against other people on the internet, I’ve received a bunch of ‘go girl give us nothing’ kind of anons praising me for ‘not taking a stance’ or yelling at me for ‘not talking a stance’.
Which, for one. No. Just because don’t talk about everything that I do to support important causes does not mean I don’t do anything. I’m not posting my donation receipts online for your approval.
I’m also… I’m genuinely lost as to how that was the message received. I know I’m autistic af, but don’t feel like that’s what I said at all and I can’t figure out why that’s what people got from it.
This will be another long post with basically the same information as the last one, but put more bluntly. If you are still struggling to understand where I stand, I genuinely don’t know how to help you with this anymore and I’m not spending more energy hashing it out for you.
I thought I said, pretty explicitly, that I think colonizing entities and terrorism is bad. That genocide is bad. I thought it was very clear that I don’t support the murder of many thousands of people—tens of thousands of children. I included the USA in this previous statement explicitly because we are backing a genocide, yet again. (If not, you know, directly doing genocide against people ourselves.) I expressed clearly, I thought, that I did not support anyone killing innocent people, as a reminder to the ‘what-about-ers’, who like to say that people who don’t agree with a genocide ‘cheer on’ what the Hamas did to random citizens. I cant 100% say I know enough about the Hamas and their desires to tell you much more of my thoughts about that. It’s been a constant struggle with misinformation, in general, but a lot of it surrounding them and their beliefs/actions.
I thought it was also pretty clear that I am so far removed from this that I’m constantly aware that me saying anything could be based on wrong, outdated, or mistranslated info at any given point. I’m catching up as fast as I can, continuously educating myself, and voiding years of propaganda from growing up in this shitty ass country with its shitty ass education propaganda system. I mean a lifetime of messages directly from the media, our politicians, teachers, etc. to not pay attention because it’s ’not our problem’ as a country and there’s ’always a war there’ so ‘don’t care about it’ and ‘don’t react.’ Which is part of the reason why I made the original post, because I do care and I am reacting, and it does matter.
So, I guess I have to say it again, because as hard as I tried to get the message through last time, it apparently got lost somewhere.
I do not support the ongoing genocide of Palestine. I do not support the crimes against humanity that I have seen happening there. I do not support murder and terrorism. I do not support the country I am forced to live in, and its involvement in this. (USA)
I do love my Jewish and Muslim friends. I do not believe in a bigoted hatred against either religious grouping based on the actions of some people. I support the Jewish people standing up for Palestine. I do want peace. I do want healing. But I am also aware that peace and healing is something heavily owed to Palestine for many years now, and that it can’t be achieved until something massively changes in how the world and Israel treat them.
Now, if this statement is not clear enough or is said the ‘wrong way’ or isn’t ‘right’ or just isn’t what you want to hear. I’m sorry. I always struggle with communication, and I’m genuinely not good at this. I tried so hard with the last post, and I was still told that I was doing nothing and saying nothing. The only thing I can ask is that you give me the smallest amount of kindness and understanding, and assume that I am trying to communicate compassion for people suffering. Give me the benefit of the doubt, if you can, that I just fucking care about people who are being hurt.
And lastly, please keep your ‘what about’ bullshit out of my inbox. I can’t address every single thing, all the time. I can’t know every single thing, all the time. I’m aware of multiple horrific things happening in the world right now and how important it is to pay attention to them. I do share and talk about them on my side blog* that is dedicated to that kind of thing, but this one thing in particular is something people keep coming to me about in my inbox here and I’m addressing it this one last time.
*Again, my main blog here has always been mostly about my art and projects, and after years of people outright screaming at me to keep it that way and to not include any current events, political, or ‘too personal’ posts I’ve long since moved most of that over to my side blog. Many of you already follow me there or know what blog it is. I am not sharing it again because I’m tired of having personal life things I share being used to hurt me. Also, one last reminder that you can’t have it both ways. You either want to know my personal stuff and political stuff, or you don’t and only want to see my art. You don’t get both. And this will be the last time I address this here.

As I've said before, I'm committed to reading the first 63 Daredevil Comics (if only because I feel like I should since I downloaded them all). I've read Issues #1-21, and Issues #42-57. I've just started Issue #58. I plan to go back for Issues #22-41 later. I'm also not going any further because I like the dynamic of the three main characters (Matt, Foggy and Karen). But I do think I could write down where I'd have preferred the story to have gone after Issue #63. Because I do know what I would have liked to have seem happen. Here's my pitch for my alternate continuation of Daredevil after Issue #63:
I'd do a storyline that would tie everything up in a fairly neat bow, while of course allowing for new adventures all throughout the 70s and 80s. First, I hate how Matt never told Foggy his identity after telling Karen about it. So I'd fix that in my story. I'd also try and explore Matt's mental state. Because this man has three identities (Matt Murdock, Mike Murdock and Daredevil) and he's faked his death twice. There's clearly some deep instability there. Any one thing could probably push him over the edge. So I'd have Karen leave, and have that segue into Matt having a breakdown.
From here, I'd do one big story about Daredevil's greatest foes teaming up to defeat him. And unlike Daredevil Annual #1, my team won't include the matador or the leapfrog (unless they're there in cameo form). My team of villains will include The Owl, Samuel Saxon, Stilt-Man, The Gladiator and maybe someone else (not sure who). I could also use this as an excuse to introduce Kingpin into the Daredevil comics. Maybe he gets involved somehow?
Anyway, the story would either end with Matt, Foggy and Karen together again, or with Karen leaving for a while but promising she will return. She can't stay away from the office forever, after all. Anyways, it would end triumphant and optimistic. And them we could use it as a segue into new stories, since this storyline tied up everything from the past 60-70 issues.

I’m pretty sure you’ve mentioned eventually posting the bracket layout for the tournament and no rush on that of course, but since you’ve presumably ranked/seeded the tournament, could you give us the rankings? I’m curious both how everyone initially ranked, plus estimating who will be duking it out next round. Thank you for this poll tournament!
Hi! I need to take a break after posting all the round 2 polls, but I'm going to try to get the bracket layout up before round 3.

Alright, doing one more poll bc in my hubris I had forgotten that I abandoned not one, not two, but technically four on-going fics in the Magic Fam AU 😭
This poll will be for 3 of them, bc the 4th was a collab & my coauthor has gone mia but I don’t want to continue it without her (miss ya squids 💕)
So after I catch up on the magic fam prompts in my inbox first…
Synopsis for each of them+a link to my fic collection under the cut:
Link to the Collection on Ao3
Chance Encounters of the Demonic Kind - the Origin Story™️ of how things went immediately after Constantine accidentally summoned Raven & how he and Zatanna ended up taking her in. There’s a few things about this fic that I want to edit & expand on (& ultimately conclude ofc)! But know that it will largely remain intact (at least I’m hoping so).
Arkham Exorcism - a tale of Ravens first Official™️ mission with John & Zee’s turmoil as a backdrop. Oh also the asylum, the ghosts &/or demon that may or may not haunt it, and a couple of cameos from some of our favorite rogues, can’t forget about that. A rlly self-indulgent fic bc I loved (& still do love) the Arkham games & wanted to give two sides of dc a love letter in the form of fic. Similar sitch where I’ve been editing some of the previously published chapters over the years and will be reworking just a bit of it. God it’s really been awhile since I touched it publicly tho akdjksj
Little Miss Moonbeam - Harley & Ivy kind of, sort of, accidentally? maybe not so accidentally kidnap Raven for a road-trip back to Gotham. Naturally, Zatanna is not happy with this, especially give where she & Raven had left things off. This one actually probably has more snippets here on tumblr that it has on ao3, but those pieces are flashes of inspo from prompts. I have the general plot laid out and some scenes here n there in a skeleton form. But this is another one that I’ll be editing just a tad and building up a whole heck of a lot from.
Tbh all three of these are near and dear to my heart, which is probably another reason why I’ve been so paralyzed by indecision on which one to focus on. Hence why im leaving it up to y’all! Thank you everyone who voted in the last poll and thanks in advance to everyone participating now 🙏
