These bitches got jonmartined
Folks, backup your Tumblrs, for real this time
The ‘it’s Viktor’ moment is lit and framed in such a way that reminds me of the dialogue screens in Patho 2 so here's a crossover as a little treat for me and the 5 other people who share my brainrot
this reddit thread of living your silliest life is so so good
Up first are the BeetleWings!
Some additional info below:
BeetleWings (as well as LeafWings) are native to Pantala; they did not come from Pyrrhia.
^ BeetleWings also naturally evolved into HiveWings and SilkWings on their own. There were already proto versions of them when Clearsight arrived.
Their extra set of legs gives them better dexterity and balance, especially for spinning silk.
There are two distinct types of BeetleWings, juggernauts and skimmers.
^ Juggernauts are the staple BeetleWing. They were known for their muscular build and powerful elytra.
^ Skimmers are more lithe BeetleWings that eventually evolved into HiveWings and SilkWings. They were better fliers, but much weaker.
Juggernaut BeetleWings have the strongest scales of any dragon, especially the elytra.
^ While seen as a morbid practice by some, elytra were very important family heirlooms in some communities. They were extracted by the healer of the family from the body and used as shields. It was a way for deceased dragons to continue protecting their family even in death.
BeetleWings go through metamorphosis, which was passed down to SilkWings but lost in the HiveWings.
In addition to flamesilk, BeetleWings had other fire-related abilities such as flamespit and mild fire resistance.
There are still BeetleWings in the modern day. They retreated to the northwestern mountains of Pantala, which have largely been untouched due to its instability (earthquakes, sinkholes, even volcanic activity). They strongly resemble juggernauts.
The Spiral
a little story about seeing the past through the present - featuring razorbill, who is the closest living relative of the great auk, a bird that became extinct not so long ago.
- Native to the Arctic and sub-Arctic region and once numbering millions of individuals, Great auks became extinct mid-19th century. The last breeding pair, found incubating an egg, was killed on 3 June 1844, on request from a merchant who wanted specimens, with Jón Brandsson and Sigurður Ísleifsson strangling the adults and Ketill Ketilsson smashing the egg with his boot. The last individual was seen in 1852, leaving no hope that the species might be extant.
