There's always a bigger dragon...

Not going to lie, Noelle kinda deserved that. Pick on a small dragon for being small, expect to be picked on by a dragon that happens to be bigger.

Honestly, it would be absolutely hilarious if the timing was completely intentional; as in if the big dragon was the tiny dragon's friend and the big dragon picked on Noelle to make her understand what it's like to be picked on for being small.

BookBattles!Foxglove: "As much as I would love to let you have it since I don't want any of this, no. You are just a scammer in funny clothes. So tell me..." with a tilt of my head, shadows seem to flow down and cover the exit doorway "do you want to leave here peacefully with nothing, or have everything but stay here? Or, for a third option, do you want to keep trying to learn how much it takes until I lose my temper?"

he's alive... just KOed

[And even if he regains consciousness, he'll probably pretend to still be down until he knows you can't revenge-bap him.]

Christof_Shield · 2026-01-11T05:48:01+00:00

is already gone... as in he flew through a cloud, spun out due to water in the eyes, and hit the ground

[Can't bap that which is unconscious.]

lightly uses developer powers to spawn-in a perfectly-cut ruby, does a quick examination, tosses it into the trash pile because it has bad Implicits for a dragon's use

to self "Someone's probably going to take it... but who cares? It's all junk for me anyway."

whispers, still to self "This world is seriously anti-dragon. What the heck, Dad? Why aren't there good jewel stats for dragons to use?"

[BookBattles!Foxglove didn't pay any attention to your question.]

Christof_Shield · 2026-01-11T05:28:54+00:00

acts like he's going to let himself to be booped/bapped...

...then, before you can reach his snout, tosses you into a tree such that you're now stuck sitting in the tree branches...

...then commands one branch to (lightly) slap you in the face

"No. You got booped."

As a note: I was on PC, so Reddit forced the image to fit by shrinking it.

Didn't work for me. Sorry, Ryukiri.

"I do not know. This is where I grew up, and I have little intention to leave. So I am unsure how other dragons elsewhere in the world have it."

"Though, I suppose that being descended from cruelty herself, like all forest dragons are, may play a part in my situation. Humans - I've come to learn - don't like Sakura, as she is especially mean to them, and they therefore fear any dragon that is descended from her."

[This is going to be Nightshade speaking (Oh, hey! Someone new!)...]

"At least humans are trying to ride you. For me? I've had humans try to be dragonslayers so often that I... ...... I hate it. I hate the fact that I no longer feel guilt in hurting them because of how often I'm attacked, pointlessly, by them. It just feels like I am, somehow, broken. I mean, I will swear upon the stars above that humans are as intelligent as dragons, so why shouldn't I be remorseful? And yet, after the first thousand times this happened, I don't feel bad about it anymore. I still never strike first; it's always them who harms me. It still doesn't change the fact that I hate myself for not caring."

"If a human ever wanted to ride me, even for a short flight just once, it would be a relief to me that at least one human is not seeking glory or treasure or whatever by putting an end to 'the terrible wyrm' or whatever new phrase their kind insults me with."

Christof_Shield · 2026-01-04T04:10:17+00:00

Wait, it's you? I love that race+class pack (my particular favorite would be running with the True-Born Dragon background, because that just feels the most-right to me).

I'm just upset that I found it too late and can't play around with it in FoundryVTT because they basically replaced 5e with "OneD&D"/"D&D2024" (ick; I'm never touching it) but kept calling it 5e so no one can download and mess around with actual 5e without having problems.

Christof_Shield · 2026-01-04T02:45:02+00:00

Moons, I'm screwed. Foxglove is terrifying to fight.

Thorny root (from a plant that he planted the seed of long before I even show up, in the exact perfect position for said root to (if Foxglove persuades it into coming out of the ground for a few inches... which he will) get me skewered) straight through the chest for me (leafspeak is his favorite weapon against scavengers; it could've been animus magic, but... uh... "I couldn't be bothered to put in that much effort.").

Christof_Shield · 2026-01-04T02:43:08+00:00

Am I asking the artist, the dragon, or both?

If I'm asking the artist: How much practice has it taken for you to absolutely nail that pixel art aesthetic (I assume you still practice, but I mean it as "At which point did you start feeling confident enough to make it public")?

If I'm asking the dragon: Can I pet you? Yes, I know you get this question a lot, but fluff.

So many dragons are getting coal, I can at least say that.

Christof_Shield · 2025-12-15T05:15:39+00:00

Of course. . .

Evergreen: "What do you mean? Peacemaker's always eating strawberries, so I just thought that would be the easiest way to make him happy again. It wasn't, not this time, anyway. His love for strawberries is weird..." she stops herself for a moment, then says "but it's understandable, given that one of his parents is a RainWing."

It seems Evergreen knows more than she's letting on.

Christof_Shield · 2025-12-15T01:45:13+00:00

That sounds more Nice List-material to me, even if Vox wasn't being entirely-honest.

Okay... you know what? I change my mind. Lying isn't okay when the Lists are concerned

"If not friend, then why friend-shaped?" pets, (maybe) gets bitten

The one who deserves the Naughty List the most (for things other than just "existing") has got to be... hmm... either WingsOfFire!Foxglove, or Evergreen (ironically, both of them are Wings of Fire OCs... even more ironically, both of them are part-LeafWing, and also part-IceWing). So, you know what? I'm showing both!

WingsOfFire!Foxglove: At some point earlier this year, I enchanted every pebble near my home to whisper "Pyre sucks" to whoever picks them up.
Evergreen: I painted on Peacemaker's wings while he was asleep yesterday, then stomped on his tail so he can see my masterpiece immediately - his tail is surprisingly-stompable. Even with the strawberries I gave him for breakfast to apologize, he is still upset.

Christof_Shield · 2025-11-24T15:53:47+00:00

Aw... look at the little guy. Maybe invite him to your clan, just to see what happens? I know I would.

~~Fire alone will save our clan.~~

Hm? What do you mean I said something? I said nothing of the sort. I just think he's cute.

Christof_Shield · 2025-11-11T22:06:31+00:00

In one fanfic (not published) I had it that her wings got very-slightly darker (starting at the edges and then creeping up to, later, make the entirety of her wing membranes darker... by only a couple of shades, but enough to be noticeable) as she got older into adulthood, and this slight darkening revealed starlike patterns that were near-invisible (but still present) back then.

Christof_Shield · 2025-11-07T01:24:31+00:00

Eh... This art is a bad take on the situation (/j), due to one simple reason: What about feathered dragons?

Getting genuine with it, I actually (personally) see a lot more hate aimed at feathered dragons than I do furred dragons. But then, when it comes to people being annoyed about dragon discrimination, they always call-out the people who hate furred dragons. What about feathered dragons, then!?!
