more venting, pet loss
My parents just got back from having my childhood dog put down. When my dad picked me up he genuinely asked "are you sad?" What kind of fucking question is that
Tw: venting, pet loss, death, brief mention of contemplating self-unaliving
So, I don't even know where to start. I know this is FAR from my usual posts but honestly I have no idea what to do. It feels like my brain is still processing. On January 23rd, I lost the cat I've had every since I was a toddler. We've had her since she was just 3 days old. I remember waking up that morning and she seemed perfectly fine. She sat in my lap while I waited until it was time to leave for school. The whole school day felt perfect, in hindsight too perfect. Like the universe was giving me one last happy day. I remember I forgot to say goodbye to her like I always too before school. That night I had a bowling meet after school, so I didn't get home untiled 7:15 pm. I walked up the stairs, knowing she'd be mad at me for being gone so late without tell her. She always was. I opened the door and she was, laying on the floor, already dead. I couldn't even sleep in my own room that night and I felt terrified to go back in. Terrified that I'd still see her dead body there even though my mom had already moved her. I had always planned of taking her to college with me as an emotional support cat. She's the only reason I got through 4 years of depression, the only reason I never contemplated suicide during those horrible 4 years. She’s the reason I finally clawed my way out of that disgusting room. Now, 3 months later, and my mom thinks this is my childhood dogs last weekend. We've had him since before I was even born. I'm 16 now. He hasn't been eating and he barely gets out of bed anymore. Twice yesterday he got up and sat in the middle of the hall and just. Stared. At nothing. He can't even see anymore. He's so skinny and light and his fur isn't as soft as it was before. He nose is completely dry. He used to love liking me and my mom, you'd have to litteraly force him to stop. Now he barely does. I don't even know what to do. I don't think I can losing 2 pets I such a short period of time. I thought 2025 was going to be my year. Turns out it's far from it.
So I know I mainly post art, and that's what most of ya'll follow me for, but I've been working on a WoF AU for the better part if 2 years now and I'd love to share some of the world building I've done! I decided today I'll share some of what the tribe's economies rely on. I'll do Pantala once I work on it more!
SkyWings - SkyWing economy is mainly built around the gems and precious stones mined from the Claws of the Clouds mountains. A lot of what they export consists of polished crystals and delicately handcrafted jewlery. SkyWing jewlers often put years into perfecting their craft and queens from around the continent go to them for specially crafted crowns. Nearly every crown a royal wears nowadays was painstakingly handcrafted by SkyWing artisans. Skywings also pride themselves on their forges and metalwork. Whether it's Intricate jewlery, ceremonial daggers, or a prosthetic you need, a SkyWing artisan will be able to make it.
MudWings - MudWings pride themselves on their medicinal skills. Some of the best hospitals exist in the MudWing kingdom. They also have great orphanages, retirement homes and assisted care facilities.
SeaWings - The SeaWing economy thrives on tourism. Some come for the gorgeous beaches and warm weather year round while some come for the ancient ruins found on the isles. The most prevalent of these locations is Sunset Isle. Sunset Isle holds one of the oldest towns on Phyrria and boasts a rich history and gorgeous beaches.
RainWings - RainWing economy is also heavily based on tourism. Dragons from both continents travel to the RainWing Territory for the welcoming atmosphere, warm weather, and amazing festivals. The most popular of which is the Snowdrop Festival. In the RainWing Territory, it rains way more during the winter than the summer, however in the coldest part of the winter cold fronts come down from the IceWing Dynasty and freeze raindrops to the trees. It's around this time when the Snowdrop Festival takes place. More on this and holidays in a later post.
NightWing - NightWings are the academics and their economy is built around education. The NightWing Suzerainty boasts some of the best colleges on the continent and dragons will travel all the way from pantala just to attend one. The best education you can possibly receive is through these colleges. NightWings also make a fortune by supplying armor during wars.
SandWings - there are two things that make up the SandWing economy. The SandWing Country has loads of wide, open land, making cattle farms and ranches incredibly popular, especially in the Possibility district. The second thing is mercenary work. The SandWing Country boasts one of the largest and most successful mercenary guilds on the continent and are often utilized in war, even by opposing sides.
IceWings - Exports are integral to IceWing economy. They specialize in food preservation through means of frostbreath and salt mined within their own territory. Without this means of preservation, trade of food would've never been possible. This allowed cold drinks to be served in the RainWing, SeaWing and SandWing territories and for food to be transported all the way to Pantala.
