whenever I see someone making fun of the tidelords disappearance I get SO angry. Its just so insensitive to water dragons, and it ALWAYS comes from a wind, earth, or ice dragon. Like I don’t think you have any ground to stand on guys, your deities are still more neglectful than the tidelord and he’s not even here

Hey who wants a WIP to this story here that yall voted on lol

🐉👻🐦🐉👻🐦🐉👻🐦🐉👻🐦🐉👻🐦🐉👻🐦🐉👻🐦🐉

   Jason took a deep breath, closing his eyes as he counted to ten and then to eight before opening them again. Nope, still there. Alright, okay. There were apparently half a dozen hatchlings who had somehow gotten into his safehouse. 

   He knows he hadn’t been to this one exactly recently, what with his increasing takeover of the underbelly of Gotham, but still. 

   There were six of them, all squished into a corner as far away from him as they could. Which on one hand was understandable, but on the other he couldn’t exactly help the jolt of hurt at the fact that he had scared them. 

   Then again he could literally hold them in his talons like it was nothing. 

   “Alright,” he huffed through one head, ignoring the sense of utter delight from the other. It was easier to ignore everything the Pit had changed, though there was a hint of relief from the fact that for once the other wasn’t full of rage and bloodlust. “Here’s what’s going to happen.” 

   The six dragonets- if they were even that old yet- all stared at him, eyes glittering with suspicion and wariness. Which was understandable seeing as he could practically taste the scent of blood and old injuries. 

   “I am going to go to the kitchen,” he motioned through the doorway with both of his tails, careful not to knock something down. Most buildings weren’t exactly built for something his size, even if he’d done his best to alter each of his safehouses. “Because I am hungry, and I’ll assume you are too.” 

   No response yet but the smallest- god he forgot how small hatchlings could be- at least perked up from behind her… siblings? They all had a similar scent, so they were definitely from the same nest. 

   He pushed back the pang at the memory of his own family before his death, before they replaced him. 

   “Are there… preferences or allergies we… have to worry about?” the pit-grown head was practically cooing across the bond, but the voice was raspier than his own. 

   Jason bit back his own coo at the hatchlings’ suspicious looks and tiny little fangs bared at him. Honestly they were all so tiny, itty baby scales still soft and fur still like down. He kept still and did his best not to overwhelm as they hissed and squawked between themselves, instead taking the opportunity to get a better look at them.

VERY long Ramble incoming

honestly now that I'm looking at the auraboa lore situation, I'm just disappointed. There was such POTENTIAL in the idea of the Loop and the horror of a new generation inexplicably being disconnected from it, forcing the newly hatched children into a world totally separate from that perceived by their parents (I mean, hell, they perceive TIME differently!).... but then the writer(s?) just fell ass backwards into Icky Tropes.

I feel like I can see what the idea was, especially with the recent alterations to the Encyclopedia entry... It seems like staff fundamentally understands the true Horror potential here, but... Instead, through the short story, they proposed it through the lens of a condescending outsider character, turning the fears of the older generation into something trivial. And also weirdly demeaning the Auroboa's situation by portraying them as overreacting.

Why... why would you do that? Like, from a storytelling perspective? What's gained from that? Why not embrace the true horror and even Emotional significance of that disruption? Why instead go for "ohh we NEED outsider help we NEED to be saved because we are so helpless and it is so Silly that we, creatures who have never experienced such things, do not know what sleep is"????

And if they WANTED to have a condescending outsider, I feel like they COULD have done that, but it would have to have that character realize the horror at some point. And make it obvious that their attitude towards distressed parents and children facing Eldritch Shit and the Sudden Deconstruction of it was not cool!

(or at the very least be a bit more...idk. Consistent with said outsider character? Juniper just goes from "omg I am so honored that the fascinating creatures of the behemoth have chosen me to speak to" to "oh their wasting my time because they don't know what sleep is. I'd rather be sleeping!! 🙄" like girl... c'mon now. Why are we trivializing it like this. Do you want me as the reader to be invested in their plight or not.)

I mean come on. They're beings connected through one networked hivemind-like system, yet each still maintains a silver of individuality that allows them to move freely throughout the Behemoth that they care for. And they've got an eldritch understanding of time that no other dragon could understand. They're seeing the future, past, and present unfold simultaneously. They're witnessing the birth and death of the world at the same time, and have no way to communicate it to other dragons. The best they can do is maintain their home, and even then, they see its roots spread and decay all at once.

And then the newest generation is suddenly disconnected. An inherent link between parent and child and all dragons in-between, that has existed since the creation of their species, is just suddenly GONE for the newest births. With NO explanation for it. The children have no easy way of communicating with their parents. The children are experiencing time in a way that was not meant for their species. They've forcefully been shoved into a circadian rhythm that they are Not! Built for!

The only way a parent could communicate properly with their child would be when the latter is sleeping, something that is also completely foreign to this species. It would be terrifying for all involved!!!

They are literally experiencing eldritch horror from the perspective of the eldritch being forced into the mortal.

Like why WOULDN'T there be panic!!! And why would that panic be trivialized! Why are we only shown the perspective of an outsider who looks at this situation and goes "Oh the silly tree beasts are being so silly over nothing, it's no big deal!"

That and the way the auraboas talk to outsiders. Like. There was such potential there. Real opportunity to explore how ancient, time-bending beings would communicate to someone who couldn't even BEGIN to understand the intricacies of it.

Instead we got what feels more like baby talk (even described as though they were hatchlings enunciating their first words, which... I dunno man, maybe we don't want to compare them to children like That) and less like... Beings that experience all of time at once. I mean, the hatchlings and the adults speak the exact same way, and that doesn't make any sense given the literal time barrier going on.

I totally get why people thought there was just a language barrier and that auraboas had their own language, thus causing the disjointed speak, and not that it was because They Do Not Experience Time Like We Do. And I feel it would've been far easier to get it across by just... I dunno. Do anything else?? I saw someone on here suggest they speak in the "wrong" tenses, or using multiple tenses in the same sentence, which I think would've been far more clear.

Like, as opposed to "saplings wilt! saplings silent!" just "the saplings will wilt in silence, they've wilted in silence, they are wilting silently." Said all at once like all things are true simultaneously. And if we're going for hivemind, have each auraboa speak in a different tense, all at the same time, and have them switch it up every time. Have our outsider get confused and be like "which is it? are they wilting now, or have they already wilted?" and the cluster of auraboas respond in a cacophony of yes's, no's, and maybe's all at once.

Would've probably gotten across the "alien" vibe they were supposedly going for far better than wide-eyed desperation for an outsider's guidance conveyed through disjointed, in-world described as baby speech.

And also maybe would've had less accidental connotations. Because as it stands, I completely see why people have made the connections to the real world where they have. This doesn't read like eldritch timey-wimey intrigue, or even a respectful look at how younger generations can become detached from their families' cultures over time and the struggles that come with it. It reads like a culture being perceived by an ignorant outsider who (despite supposedly respecting these dragons) scoffs and rolls their eyes because the tree beasts with their funny words are being silly again, and that Hey, isn't it actually a great thing that the children are fundamentally different in all manners now? Because now they can join the rest of us in the "real world."

Yknow. Ick.

(I Personally think it would've been better to have the perspective be one of the Auraboas themselves, especially one of the children, to really understand what was going on here. Give us the full brunt of the mind of a creature experiencing all of time interwoven as one shape. The waters fall and the oceans crash with waves. They've now fallen to drought. The ocean has yet to be born. Caves have been carved out through the waters' currents. And when I break from this timeline, I open my eyes to see a child, the child not yet born, the child born now, the child born yesterday. Why can't I hear it? Why couldn't I hear it? Why won't I ever hear it?)

I dunno. People more qualified than me to speak on this matter have already torn the lore apart, I'm just... dropping my own two cents. Potential got weirdly squandered and we ended up instead with unfortunate implications and tropes that could be connected a liiiittle too awkwardly to irl situations.

*Also, before anyone points out: Yes, I know the hatchlings aren't COMPLETELY detached from the Loop and can join it when they sleep. But the fact is, these thangs never had to sleep before. That wasn't in their species' nature. So that's still weird and foreign for them on both sides. And since the hatchlings now have a circadian rhythm, they can't stay connected to the loop permanently. And also Also, seeing as the previous generations aren't experiencing time linearly, who's to say they even recognize when their child joins the loop? They'll speak with an echo of their child when that child was last asleep ages ago, not knowing that it's not them presently, because there is no 'present' for the older generations.

#i also really really do not understand the ''word count'' explanation given by staff. #I'm honestly rather lenient with ignorance happenings like this so long as they're remedied but. #cutting out important details of lore Fundamental to the understanding of it?

Why are you limiting yourself unless this is like #a paid-by-word situation and they don't have the money to afford something longer #but like it feels like shooting yourself in the foot if you're going to write something that leaves a ton of information vague instead of #properly explaining your lore so there's no unfortunate misunderstandings.

Oh my god, staff.....

This auraboa issue with the lore being (most likely) unintentionally racist is especially maddening to me, because the concept they seem to want to portray (based purely on the encyclopedia entry) is very similar to an OC I have, and so I can say with experience, it's incredibly difficult to convey! ESPECIALLY when you try to portray it inside a short story where you're cutting lines for word count (their forum reply mentioned they left out some lines to keep it short)

Instead of getting across the concept the encyclopedia entry seems to allude to, the short story just accidentally walks into like 10 racism rakes in a row and its truly agonizing for me to watch, knowing what i assume the actual lore's intent is.

encyclopedia quote: "Older generations of Auraboa existed in a constant state of communion with their fellows. They refer to this connection as The Loop. In this persistent state they perceive time and memory in a non-linear manner; their intertwined considerations for past and present events are such that it became difficult for a dragon outside The Loop to grasp the intentions of these ancient wyrms."

what seems to be the intention is that the auraboa are a hivemind that doesn't experience time the same way other dragons do- they experience past, present, and future all at once and thus cannot communicate well NOT because they have a different language, but because they aren't experiencing TIME ITSELF in the same fashion as the dragons! However, in practice, in the story, the auraboa seem to speak with words in the proper order, just haltingly, since otherwise the story itself couldn't work at all.

another encyclopedia bit: "The newest generation of Auraboa is not linked to The Loop in their waking hours. While they move through the world, they are less directly accessible and read as "silent" to Auraboa who are within the communal state. This disconnection has allowed the young Auraboa to experience time in a linear fashion, and with this new understanding they have begun to form connections with other species of dragon that have never before been possible."

The encyclopedia seems more clear about the Linear Time thing, and that being why they can actually communicate sensibly, but in the act of having a story where the older ones DO communicate with the outside dragons and get a point across, they've kind of not shown the reason why dragons and auraboa COULDNT communicate before! which is! a big thing!

If they'd implemented the auraboa speaking with everything in the wrong order instead of halting single words at a time, i feel like the intention would get across better. As it is, it just smacks them directly into the 'simple native' stereotype with a truly awful tripping into the 'having our kids be taught by outsiders' which is. a really wretched parallel, as many native people have spoken of the unimaginable violence of residential schools.

I feel like the encyclopedia entry Alone isn't nearly as awful (still not great, but not as bad) as the extremely poorly implemented story that managed to ddr dance onto a bunch of horrible tropes.

they were literally so bad at conveying the fact that the auraboa are a hivemind that is unmoored from time, that i see people misinterpreting the lore as auraboa having their own weird language that other dragons can't understand! there was not enough effort put into conveying the ideas they tried to convey, and what WAS put forward was literally chock full of the most unfortunate parallels physically possible.

#flight rising #auraboa #fr auraboa #fr #fr lore #flight rising lore #tl;dr i dont think the lore itself is actually that bad purely based on the encyclopedia #but they sure as hell need to better explain it #because the story was THE WORST EXAMPLE POSSIBLE AND SOOO UNINTENTIONALLY RACIST IT HURTS

Whatever y'all do, do not let this go from "hey here's a critique on this short story, y'all may have accidentally fallen into some harmful tropes" to dogpiling staff, calling them racist, turning this from a critique into a mob clamoring for them to make it perfect immediately and reading into the existing version in bad faith.

I can see why the resolution of the short story would trip alarm bells and could use another draft, but the Tumblr Post Going Around digs way too deep in some places and I think we all gotta tone it down a little bit before this becomes a game of drama telephone that ends in a massive overreaction

(In games of internet telephone like this there's the compulsion to join in the discussion just so you can pre-emptively let people know what side you're on in case it ever does become an argument with distinct sides. Which it shouldn't. But it feels like it could give way to internet fisticuffs and staff accusations if we're not careful)

#if y'all saw the post i had up for like an hour you can immediately tell i read That Tumblr Post before actually like. #reading the short story. #and I did give in to the initial compulsion to Have A Take #Staff knows that there's critique to be had about their story. they don't need every single person to tell them. #flight rising #flight rising aeraboa

[mistysdragonlair]

I think my favorite bit of FR lore/worldbuilding is the World Pillar (and no I'm not just saying that because I'm in Earth lmao).

Just imagine being the beast clans when it was still intact all that time ago. A massive stone pillar in the middle of a plain, so so tall that is stretches up into the clouds and even into the upper atmosphere of the planet. Nobody knows when it was built or how or by who. It's unfathomably huge and radiates a power from it beyond what anyone seems capable of.

The pillar is eternal.

Even when it shatters generations later, it's still there. Now a massive grave to what was once peace between the gods of the land. Only one stays and he mourns deep below it. When before people knew nothing of it now they know exactly what it was for and maybe in a way that's worse, because now that it's gone the threat from space can come back. Ignorance is bliss.

And the pillar remains.

Perseverance! Rookie member of the EEG’s field research team. She’s a nerd-jock newbie who wants her idols to like her sooooooooooo bad.

-> Biology major with a particular interest in ecology! And bugs she likes bugs. And really all sorts of fun crawly invertebrates.

-> Perse is no stranger to the EEG headquarters, she’d been coming here for years before her official admission to the team! With two older relatives to shadow, she got to know a lot of the older members during her frequent visits. She greatly admires all of them.

-> She maintains some terrariums to raise and study copepods and amphipods. As well as several potted plants.

-> Perse has the same level of passion discussing a new and as of yet undocumented species as she does showing off the cute little house moth that almost gave Maven a heart attack.

-> She’s a hobbyist photographer with a Leica 1(A) 35mm. She’s into wildlife photography, and though her work isn’t very technically impressive, you don’t need to be an ace at something to have fun with it!

-> Perseverance maintains that she is NOT a nerd like her cousin, Maven, is a nerd.

-> She’s very athletic and energetic. She enjoys a daily jog, and plenty of exercise both indoors and outdoors. She loves going on hiking or full on camping trips with her uncle Phoenix.

-> She and Phoenix are very close. They’ve got a really easygoing and playful dynamic, with plenty of in-jokes built up between them. Phoenix was a constant in her early life, almost a third parent. He’d often visit to play with her and to babysit so her dads could enjoy a free evening every so often. He still dotes on her as much as Perse will let him get away with, but he respects that she values having a more adult relationship now. Still with plenty of fun, of course!

-> Perse and Maven weren’t really around each other as young kids, but became friends as they got a little older. Maven’s scientific leanings led to Perse finding and developing her own passion for study and exploration. Maven and the rest of her family have been nothing but supportive and nurturing, and she’s grateful for it. But she wants to make sure they know she’s not just a little girl anymore, and she’s ready to be the one offering support when needed.

-> She’s more than willing to get her hands dirty and to do ‘boring’, menial work. Especially if it means the people she looks up to see how diligent and cooperative she is :)

-> Perse is very needlessly competitive, though in a lighthearted sort of way. She doesn’t mind taking a loss, because it’s more about the challenge than the winning. It’s about the thrill. But don’t expect her to go easy on a challenger, because she still plays to win. Game night is a disaster

#image #alt text #my art #my characters #char: perseverance #set: eeg #flight rising #flight rising art #named after the Perseverence rover!! #she technically started this because i hatched her FR version to commemorate the rover’s landing #though Tune is the one who prompted me to generate a story #Perse’s tattoos are inspired by the ‘family portrait’ engraved on the real rover!! #also. Perse might have a sibling since there’s a twin rover to Perseverance named uhh Optimism i think? #if i do make them a character they’ll get a bug tattoo as well. they won’t be part of the EEG tho. they’ll be a background character #which is fitting bc the Optimism rover is for testing purposes and stays on earth #not a Spirit/Opportunity situation

I return from not using this blog much to bring you my newest obsession: a little aberration named Traveller who I've owned for all of [checks time] 7 hours! And I love her so much you guys oh my goodness.

Like. Look at her. She's my little lady.

#grimble's scrimbles #flight rising aberration #fr aberration #I'd've permababied her on the spot but I have to get her up to lvl 25 first #so alas- one must have an adult Traveller in one's lair for like a week #at least in the meantime I can draw for her and finish up her bio #anyway she's canonically raised by a beastclan polycule and they all love and spoil her very much #she doesn't know what a dragon is #all she knows is eat sand and listen to scary story and sleep #she's very very happy amongst her family and her family is very happy to have her

I really like thinking about how magic and breed-specific traits affect the daily lives of dragons in sornieth. the small and stupid things especially.

like imagine a lightning primal getting so mad at dying in a video game that they suddenly create an electromagnetic field so powerful that it effectively acts as an emp and takes out the neighborhood power grid. they're so mortified by the incident that they move to an entirely new region by next week.

imagine a light dragon that glows when they're embarrassed. they're eating at a restaurant with friends. the waiter tells them to enjoy their food, and they respond "you too." as soon as their brain catches up to their mouth they flashbang the entire establishment.

imagine a skydancer just chilling when their roommate comes back from their retail job, hatred and malice and despair absolutely flowing off of them. the skydancer jumps like they've been doused with cold water, goes "I need to leave this house immediately," then proceeds to sprint out of the door

imagine a nature dragon who keeps getting asked for advice on gardening and how to keep houseplants alive and every time they have to explain that actually they have a terrible black thumb but if you figure out how to keep orchids alive please let them know.
