I made the Dragon Coaster from Rye Playland into a Coastergirl too! 🐉🎢

She and the Legoland Dragon Coaster are long distance besties.

My thoughts on Dragon Age The Veilguard alternate between "It has a lot of flaws but it's still a nice game with a lot of well thought details" to "GOD THIS IS BAD"

Someone should write a very practical and down-to-earth story about a dragonriding culture and how they deal with the potential for whiplash and related injuries. I just saw a gifset from a certain realistic dragon show, and watching those tiny CG riders bobbing around up there makes me concerned for the sake of their spines.

Do the saddles have backs and headrests? Does part of training involve teaching the dragon to hold its back unnaturally steady? Is there a handy magic spell to counteract inertia/gravity? Or are a number of riders lost each year to snapped necks, along with the ones who pass out from G-forces and are forbidden from flying?

Darkness at the Edge of Dawn 💔

Read it on AO3 (Explicit, Emmrich x f!Rook)

“How would we kiss?" asks Rook, and there is something jagged in her tone that he longs to smooth. "Hold hands? Make love?” Emmrich is silent, for there is no answer that will truly satisfy her here. “Or had you not even thought about that?” “Of course I’ve given it -” “Would you even love me anymore? Would you even be capable of it?” Her voice is fracturing now, spilling apart like the rippling waves fracturing the surface of the pool. “I don’t have all the answers, darling. I’m truly sorry.” He takes her hand again and threads his fingers through hers. “I trust that our bond will hold, but in the end it must be a leap of faith. One that I hoped to make with you by my side.” --- After a whirlwind romance Emmrich ends things with Rook, fearing that their differences are irreconcilable, their dreams incompatible. Unfortunately, they are both still desperately in love.

So it begins 😭 A healthy serving of angst & smut in every bite (of which there will be 3 total, posted on Sundays). Extended snippet below the cut!

Rook leans against him, her head briefly resting at his shoulder, and he feels the faint magnetic pulse of electricity. “It’s all right, darling.” He kisses the top of her head and rests an arm at her shoulders. “We have time.” She nestles into the touch, and for a moment the howling gale and scheming gods are forgotten and there is only this, him and her, a perfect peace at the eye of a raging storm. “I felt you, in my dream, last night,” says Rook, and Emmrich is dragged back to the truth of their predicament. “Ah. I’m sorry to have intruded; I heard you arguing with the Dread Wolf, and I worried. I didn’t intend to eavesdrop.” “It’s all right,” says Rook with a sigh. “Now you know why I’m so tired all the time. Not exactly the most restful sleep I’ve ever had, these past few weeks.” Emmrich squeezes her shoulder gently, but says nothing, hearing the heaviness in her voice. There is a pause, as if she is about to say more, to unburden herself to him, but instead she lifts her chin and turns a beaming smile back up to him. “Were your dreams any better?” she asks, and he can see the team leader squaring her shoulders, brightening her voice, diverting the conversation to his own well-being; not wishing for him to see the strain she carries, the burden, the way in which Solas’s barbed words have found sinking purchase. “I dreamt of you,” he says, and the bright shine in her sapphire eyes dims to something softer. “Would you… still dream? If you were a lich?” She sounds hesitant, but curious, and he considers the question at its face, rather than the doubts and fears swimming just beneath it. “The process of attaining lichdom involves a detachment from the living body and its daily needs,” he explains slowly. “I cannot say whether I will still require sleep, with no brain to quiet, no body to replenish.” He smiles. “Beyond death’s sleep, who knows what dreams may be?” Rook is quiet, watching the water rippling out from their stirring feet. “Could you still go swimming?” “I might have the physical functions, though my body may be more susceptible to the ill effects of water,” he says. “As for the compulsion, I cannot say.” “How would we eat together? Dance?” “Eating would likely be out of the question,” Emmrich says. “I may sit and enjoy other aspects of a meal, however, such as the pleasure of company. As for dancing…” He sighs. “I admit I’m not terribly adept at it now, and suspect it unlikely that undeath will elevate my skills.” “So mealtime will be more of a watch-and-wait kind of thing,” says Rook, and there is something jagged in her tone that he longs to smooth. “How about sleep? If you couldn’t sleep, would you still lie in bed with me all night? Would you watch me and wait, then?” Her voice is rising, and taking on an uneasy edge. “How would we kiss? Hold hands? Make love?” Emmrich is silent, for there is no answer that will truly satisfy her here. “Or had you not even thought about that?” “Of course I’ve given it -” “Would you even love me anymore? Would you even be capable of it?” Her voice is fracturing now, spilling apart like the rippling waves fracturing the surface of the pool. “I don’t have all the answers, Skadi. I’m truly sorry.” He takes her hand again and threads his fingers through hers. “I trust that our bond will hold, but in the end it must be a leap of faith. One that I hoped to make with you by my side.” She tugs her hand free from his grip and rises to stand. “There’s no taking that step together. It’s a chasm I can never cross.” Without waiting for a response she shrugs off her shirt and trousers, revealing black laced undergarments hugging her lithe spellblade’s body, the glimmer of her pierced navel winking dully in the gray day’s light reflected off the water. “What are you doing?” asks Emmrich, as she wades down the stairs to the pool. His dearest Rook rarely retreats from an argument, and the sight of her sinking towards the water’s surface sends a frisson of anxiety down his spine. “Cooling off.”

[nimblermortal]

Book: ...a former jarl's guard who openly admitted to being responsible for the threatening letter written to Theod and me. His name was Otrygg Otryggson.

Nimbler: *bursts into laughter*

Traitor McTraitorface? Really? That's what you named the fellow? No wonder you're not afraid to throw around names you're unlikely to use again!

(Tryggvi is an actual name - witness King Olaf Tryggvason - and ó- is a negative prefix. The verb involved is trúa, or the adjective tryggva, true/loyal/faithful. So this dude's name is uh. Hilarious.)

Iron Dragon at Cedar Point!

<- Previous | Start | Next ->

Opened: 1987 Manufacturer: Arrow Dynamics Height: 76 ft (23 m) Speed: 40 mph (64 kph) Length: 2,800 ft (850 m) My most recent ride: 2023

We did Demon at Six Flags Great America yesterday, so it's time for another Arrow! This time we're taking a look at one of their two Suspended models I've ridden, Iron Dragon. Of the two Arrow Suspended coasters I've ridden, this is definitely the weaker of the two, but it still has some things going for it that make it enjoyable for what it is.

First thing I want to highlight about Iron Dragon is its setting. It tucked amongst the trees in the center of the park between Rougarou and Top Thrill 2 and then swinging out over the lagoon at the end. The red track and yellow supports work really nicely with the dark teal colored trains, I just think it's a really nice combination of colors. The last part of the ride, that twisted pretzel shaped turn over the water, is also easily the best part of the ride as well. The last few times I've done Iron Dragon, those turns were more forceful than I had remembered, which I was kind of surprised by. That might catch riders off guard a bit, especially with how tame the rest of the ride leading up to it is.

Yeah, despite those last few turns, Iron Dragon is primarily a family coaster. It's on the bigger end of family coasters to be fair, but it's now overly thrilling by any means. It is neat to be in those cars that can sway back and forth with the turns, which does give it a unique characteristic, at least in terms of coasters at Cedar Point. Younger riders will probably really enjoy this one, I know it was my younger sister's favorite coaster for a long time, but if you're a big thrill seeker, you probably won't get a whole lot out of this one.

The other big problem with Iron Dragon is that it's shaky, and it has over the shoulder restraints. It's not bad enough to get headbanging on, but you do get rattled around a fair bit. My other warning: don't sit in the front row of any car other than the front car. There are canvas/plastic coverings that hang down from where the cars are coupled together and water can collect in them. Then, with the abundance of bugs at Cedar Point (mayflies in particular), they die in there and if you're in the front row of a car and that water splashes out, you get bug juice all over you. Not an experience I recommend lmao.

In the end though, Iron Dragon is a good family coaster, and I am glad Cedar Point keeps it around. Arrow Suspendeds are a dying breed, so it's nice to see that they're still taking care of this one.

Thanks for checking out today's coaster post! Keep an eye out for tomorrow's coaster!

Coaster Maynia 2025 Day 3 - Afterburn

“A dragon like creature rockets through the sky as it chases its prey. Onlookers down below point and cheer as they get an exciting look at what they see as an action packed display of tricks, speed, and flair.”

Decided to draw today’s prompt as one of my fave furry species, Airplane Dragons! (Created by scpkid) was great getting to design one again, will not be apologizing for making more Airplane Dragons in the future!
