Dragonflies can accelerate up to 4 G in straight flight and withstand up to 9 G during sharp turns when hunting prey.

Flying Without a Rudder

Aircraft typically use a vertical tail to keep the craft from rolling or yawing. Birds, on the other hand, maneuver their wings and tail feathers to counter unwanted motions. (Image credit: E. Chang/Lentink Lab; research credit: E. Chang et al.; via Physics Today) Read the full article

I need to remind everyone that one of the funniest things about Moghedien to me is that she refuses to go to any of the Forsaken group hangs because she's afraid they're all going to kill her if she shows up despite these meetings being one of the few places where you can count on the Forsaken NOT trying to kill each other because its too risky for a full on fight to break out among multiple Chosen.

But Moghedien does apparently meet one on one with at least one other Forsaken in the books because said Forsaken is the one that reports her missing after "missing their meeting" like that was an unusual thing for Moghedien to do and the one Forsaken that we know Moghedien is willing to meet one on one with is Graendal.

carol as kamala’s mentor is always soooo funny to me like you scare the shit out of her meeting her for the first time just to tell her no one gives a fuck about new jersey and she’s on her own like why are you even here

i wanted to post the green dragon lineart separately because i like the wings.. far from perfect but nice enough and a good look at the wingsails

all the sails have some degree of variable geometry (they can change shape by vascular contraction & expansion) but the propatagium/forward wingsail, the one in front of the elbow, is the most changeable, extending the leading edge to maintain lift at low airspeeds. similar to a bird's alula, this prevents stalling when coming in to land or when flying with a high angle of attack

Scar sits, balanced on a precipice at the crest of the world, and thinks. If he tilts forward just a degree too far into the sweeping abyss that engulfs the city below, he will fall. It’s a height that very few could survive, and he knows without a shred of doubt that he is not one of them. “Careful,” comes the warning in a tone that, if he closes his eyes, sounds awfully like Cuteguy. But of course, the voice that Scar hears so often through his earpiece is nothing at all like the unmistakable lilt of Pearl’s words. OR Pearl watches Scar leave his apartment in the small hours between dusk and dawn. When she follows to find him dangling his feet off the edge of the tallest building in Hermitopia, she decides to sit by her archnemesis' side, just for one night.

I wrote and posted my first fanfic, a oneshot based on the @hotguycomiczine universe!

historical-illustrators should get a small edible arrangement delivered to their house every time they get very far with a really good pose and then realize that it won't work with the era's outfits !!

[terra-tortoise]

notn hatch and new art for their bio!! inspired heavily by art here and somewhat by art here. the first pretty explicitly, the second is art ive admired for a while and have wanted to do something similar in my own dragon bios. didnt do any shading but i might go back and touch it up later. cloth as ever is so hard to draw.

Meet my rito OC, Nerisa!

She's based on a Snowy/Wandering Albatross and uses her large wingspan to glide nonstop over the ocean to keep a lookout for lost souls at sea.

Because she spends a lot of time in the air, like her animal counterpart, she has a difficult time landing.

She also has a crush on Penn

Good Morning

[amandamadeathing]

Made this meme. If I knew what he looked like, Supreme General Ba'kif would be holding the rein right in the middle.

I'm always going to render Admiral Ar'alani in "dazzling white" from head to toe.
