for the dragon gifs post you reblogged, could you elaborate on your tags? as someone who loves speculative/fictional biology, id be interested in hearing how actual gliding wings would work for dragons, if youre okay with talking about it of course :]
Gosh, basically.... the whole wing shape is wrong for gliding
Firstly, a majority of the dragons' wings do not have any base to them. base being the membrane that should go down their side
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
By far the worst offender seems to be arrax here, but like. all of the dragons have NO membrane going from their arms down their sides, the only one who appears to have more normal wings is syrax
Tumblr media
It's got more base to the wings so this gif looks slightly more natural to me but not by much
NOW,, my disclaimer. I am not an expert in aerodynamics. So I am just going off what I know personally
First off, the wing shape in most of these dragons is elliptical (like in sparrows) which is good for powered flight (flapping), and when they ARE flapping, it does look very good!! Very powerful strokes etc.
However, because they are missing that base at the wing, a lot of the energy of the downstroke would simply just escape. Wings in general work by "trapping" wind underneath them, by making the air on top roll by at a different speed than the air underneath and generate lift that way, but if there's nothing TO lift... then it won't work
Animals who actually glide all have very specialized wings for it.
Eagles, vultures, condors, etc: all of them have IMMENSE wings, and they almost cannot do powered flight (at least not on the same level that sparrows can), they rely a lot on updrafts
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Their wings are all very wide, but very rectangular!! the base of their wings is basically the same width as the rest of the wing, generally
This is true as well for SEABIRDS which are all gliding experts. Seabirds have VERY not wide wings, but they make up for that in length, and this very specialized shape they have allows them to glide for literal WEEKS without needing to land
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Basically, I suppose it's something of a tradeoff? Even in these birds the base is incredibly proportionate to the shape of their wings and body, and they depend on wind currents over the ocean specifically. They've evolved for that
alithographica has this VERY GOOD little chart of what different functions wings can perform depending on their shape
Tumblr media
I personally think the got dragon's wings are incredibly disproportionate, looking at wings on any other animal it immediately stands out that a whole chunk of wing is simply... gone. For no good reason other than aesthetic I think
And besides the anatomical error, they don't have a clear purpose to their shape, they kinda do everything all the time and its jarring to see on otherwise incredibly designed creatures and its also an immense shame. It would have been so cool to see different dragons have different flying techniques (the only different one we get is caraxes with his wing legs, but from what ive seen)

I’m still not over the fact that Willow was living rent free in Buffy’s house while she was dead and when Buffy came back, she was like, girl, look at all the bills that piled up while you were gone.
Has Willow ever worked a day in her life? I mean a real job.

I think the most funny thing about Love is Blind is how these people talk about the other person like they already know each other forever and have been through the most fucked up shit together. Meanwhile they are only talking for a few days and haven't even seen each other.

I can’t buy melissa and jacob as roommates I’m sawry
Firstly why does Melissa suddenly need a roommate? The ever independent, ever private, ever connected melissa schemmenti suddenly struggling for money and needing help with rent? Nope I don’t buy it.
And her solution is a roommate not any other form of income? Really?
This woman who doesn’t want people looking at her photos or knowing her name suddenly opening herself up to a stranger? Absolutely not.
And then it’s Jacob!? The guy she compared to paint fumes because in large doses he’ll give you a headache - she wants to live with him?? The guy she didn’t invite to a third cooking lesson, who ruined her Christmas tradition?
And she just accepts it? Doesn’t fight it?
Fine okay it’s for the plot.
But now you’re telling me they get along? Nope. I’m drawing the line. Look I enjoy their dynamic, I want more of it, I love the workmoms and their workkids, I want a jacob melissa heart to heart honestly (and bonding over being queer…) but they can’t live together. She’s known for her anger yet she’s happy with him? I’ve been roommates with my close friends and got annoyed but she’s enjoying this roommate she dislikes? All because they have a few things in common? No.
I get it’s for the plot. maybe it’s to make the white people in this show easier to ignore because it just doesn’t fit.
