I made a custom plush of Mini Hildy from Dragalia Lost! I miss that game but the devs cannot take away my power to keep it sort of alive >:) I might have to make some of the other Mini Greatwyrms at some point and if I do Mini Mids will be next

I'll be putting up a pre-order / made to order shop listing on my Ko-fi since I'm keeping this one and she's big enough that I can't keep stock on hand at all times. I hope you look forward to it!

Mini Mids Plush!

I finally got a working pattern for Mini Mids! A tutorial is on its way. I have all of the footage, so now it's just putting it all together into one video. I will make another post when it is all complete with the video and pattern, all for free!

Slowly but surely, the Greatwyrms are coming back together!

Breaking my usual post style to shout out @dragaliamini, which is hosting their own translations of the Dragalia Minis comics alongside the official translations of the ones we did get. Please check them out if you're getting nostalgic over the ones we did get translated or want to see what we missed!

[valeriefauxnom]

And the answer for this one is...

Well, all of them, kinda.

Let's go down the checklist, shall we?

Trains:

Of course, expressions like 'train of thought' or 'trains hard' I would disregard since those aren't referring to actual trains, but here we have a clear expression of the train as an object, furthermore with an understanding of the word 'caboose' as a part of a train. Interestingly, 'train of thought' predates the word train for the locomotive by a while since train also means stuff dragging other stuff behind it.

With all this being said, Notte is clearly using the notion of a locomotive in order to get her point across colorfully instead of any of the other umpteen meanings it has taken! And I doubt trains are about.

Radio:

This one's a bit more cut-and-dry than the train. Stay tuned as a phrase hails back to the Era of Radio/TV, as in 'stay tuned to this channel'! Ergo, Emile is using a phrase that unambiguously refers to the existence and operation of a radio or television. Neither of which I think exist in Dragalia, otherwise you know the siblings would have it and use it to yell at each other every so often and form sneaky deals, so on and so forth. Several plot points (heck, even characters, see Noelle) also depend around the slower travel time of information than more instant forms of communication, so that's another strike against radio's existence.

Guns:

Notte is using guns to mean muscle here, but since it ultimately ties to baseball (and a time where guns have existed for a long time) I will use this to first demonstrate that the word 'gun' exists in Dragalia instead of trying to claim that this is solid enough evidence to make my claim...

However, that's not the only evidence we have. Gala Ranzal says:

Here we see a direct connection for 'guns' being a weaponry/strength/tool.

If we're willing to accept slightly more meta things, though, my definitive argument for this one is in this description, however:

Most weapon descriptions do the standard dodging about around 'caster' and 'manacaster' as the characters do, which to me adds some level of credence that they tried to keep things 'in-universe-compliant' in the weapons. Thus, using 'gun' once is a technical affirmation that the word exists, however silly.

As a last note, 'sons of guns' is also used, so make of you will of the storied etymology of that one!

A bunch of 19th century angry English peasants who didn't like industrialization:

We get this fun little unintentional history from Kleimann insulting Euden:

'Luddite' has its meaning in just that, a bunch of 19th century angry peasants who were fearful of what would happen to their livelihood and the quality of items with the increasing automation of industrialization. They attacked and destroyed machinery to this end. While it has later morphed into a general term to describe those opposed to progress, science, new machinery, etc, it as a word is unable to be separated from this very specific group!

Pressure cookers:

Now this one is my sneakiest one yet. I'm sorry.

Because, the pressure cooker actually still exists in modern-day Dragalia. Emphasis on 'cooker', though, not cookers. That's right, there's a singular pressure cooker in the world, and it is a family heirloom.

So, technically, a pressure cooker is not only implied but outright exists in Dragalia! Only one, though...

A fancy hotel in New York:

'Putting on the ritz' refers to the Ritz-Carlton hotel, a fancy hotel in, well, New York. Their business eventually inspired this phrase when others dress fancy/expensively, like the Ritz hotel chain. While it is not the first Ritz-Carlton, it was the one to spawn the English phrase 'putting on the ritz', so Curran's usage of this phrase indicates the specific New York Ritz-Carlton hotel.

Alexander Pope's 1727 hit essay 'Peri Bathous, Or the Art of Sinking in Poetry':

Another case of a specific word choice indicating a very specific concept like 'Luddite' above did. 'Bathetic' is not, in fact, a typo here for 'pathetic'. Instead:

Very helpful. What's bathos?

How did the word 'bathos' enter the English language? Well, long, story short,

That being said, I'm surprised anyone on the translation writing team even knows this term- I sure didn't when I came across it! I suppose it goes to show that at least some of them were likely writers or otherwise well-schooled in literature!

HAPPY 5 YEAR ANNIVERSARY DRAGALIA LOST!!! to mark this momentous occasion i decided to go back and recreate my old moveset for EUDEN AND MIDGARDSORMR FORGE A PACT WITH SMASH! this human and dragon duo have a unique playstyle that focuses on building up quick combos to help fill up a special meter as Euden who is a rather fast moving medium weight sword fighter. once the meter if full you can use the down special to transform into Midgardsormr for a limited amount of time to unleash devastating strength to overwhelm your foes! now for a quick rundown on their specials, starting with...

Euden's specials! which are as follows:

Neutral special, exalted fire: Euden shoots a flaming crescent from his sword that will move forward a set distance similar to clouds neutral special but if it makes contact with a foe it will continue on its path allowing you to hit multiple foes.

Side special, force strike: Euden will take a charging stance as a glowing arrow appears behind him and fills with a lighter color, when the b button is released once the arrow is fully glowing Euden will strike with a strong shield breaker attack, if b is let go before the attack is fully charged it will cancel the attack, it can also be aimed all 360 degrees.

Up special, blazing circlet: Euden will spin around with his blade outstretched and engulfed in flames spiraling him upward, if performed on the ground he will just spin in place instead of upward, think links spin attack but on fire and without the chargeable feature.

Down special when meter isn't full, Helper skills: Euden will call upon some of his closest allies to aid him in battle. each summon behaving almost like a mini assist trophy. the move has a 10 second cooldown to prevent spamming, also the summon order will not reset when K.O.ed. Euden can also freely move around once the ally is summoned on the field, allowing for some good combo potential with the ally. the order of summoning is as follows.

Elisanne, hallowed waters: Elly will leap upward and then strike downward with her spear while its coated in water mana, think a mix of yoshi and bowsers down specials mixed with corrins down air.

Ranzal, tornado bash: ranzal spins around his large axe trapping anyone who gets to close in a cyclone of hurt then at the end of the spinning he will swing his axe outward sending any foes caught flying, basically DK's up special but slower moving.

Luca, radiant bonds: Luca leaps upward and aims his bow at a slight downward angle and shoots an light mana charged mana arrow, the arrow will stun aany opponent it hits.

Cleo, elder cure: Cleo would float up into the air and hold her wand aloft and heals some of Eudens health.

the order then loops back to Elisanne repeating the cycle.

Down special when meter is full, Shapeshift: euden will ascend into the air and be enveloped in light which then disburses as he is transformed into Midgardsormr with whirlwind flows around him creating a weak hitbox to defend himself.

Final smash, exalted glory: Euden quickly dawns his gala armor and thrusts his sword into the ground, creating a radius of glowing energy around him dragging anyone he hits into a cutscene where the prince and his 4 allies join forces to unleash a powerful elemental barrage of attacks to send eudens foes flying. and now moving on to Midgardsormr’s specials.

Neutral special: Calamitious tempest. Midgardsormr would charge a ball of wind mana and launch it in an arc and when it lands or hits something it will explode into a blast of air, it’s chargeable which affects the strength and distance of the projectile.

Side special: Grand tempest. Midgardsormr claps his wings together to creat a small tornado that travels in a straight line a set distance then dissipates, anyone hit by the tornado will be launched straight up, making it a good tool for starting air combos, it also pushes mids back a bit cause of the powerful gale force of his wings clapping.

Up special: Tornado tail/Tornado spiral. On the ground Midgardsormr will perform his signature attack tornado tail, a powerful spin that sends near by foes flying. But in the air he instead summon a small tornado below him to push him upward, it’s similar to charizard’s up special.

Down special: Calamitous storm. Midgardsormr would unleash a powerful burst of wind mana around him devastating all those caught in its wake, but at a hefty cost, it drains his meter to empty forcing the player to revert back to Euden, the strength and size of the blast is dependent on how much energy is left in his dragon pulse meter. Like hero’s magic burst.

Final smash: Greatwyrms pact. Midgardsormr would let out a mighty roar that shakes the air around him, anyone to close to him would be dragged to a cutscene where the other 5 greatwyrms surround the players, the camera would then pan up to reveal Midgardsormr in his high dragon form charging a blast of wind mana, which he then unleashed on the foes and the other 5 greatwyrms also shoot off blasts their respected elemental mana. If the opponent is at over 100% damage it’s an automatic K.O. by learning how to take the unique playstyle's of both Euden and Midgardsormr in tandem you can overcome any obstacle in your path with ease. thank you for reading and heres to 5 years of remembering one of the greatest mobile games of all time and a forgotten gem of a nintendo franchise, heres hoping one day we will see the world of Dragalia Lost again. HAPPY 5TH ANNIVERSARY!!!

[reveriecorridor]

i've been mulling it over in my head for a while but i guess i'll post on here and hope someone sees it lol

i've been thinking of making a single neocities for a coherent/easily accessible archive for everything dragalia lost we can possibly get our hands on (characters, minis, story in easy to read script, etc.) but the problem is i have very minimal (if non-existant) coding knowledge so... would anyone be interested in helping out?

the scope of what i'm thinking is kind of way too big for one person alone to tackle so. interest check pspspsps

[dragaliamini]

Happy dragonyule and soon to be new year. I have not uploaded any translations since and frankly i just don't think i am any good at translations. It all started from my want to translate the mini comics and songs to share with my guild members and friends. I have no time to improve my skills.

But i really love this fandom. The fact that we still get so much wonderful fan artwork even after EOS. I wish to keep sharing it on this blog. Of course u can still find my translations for better or for worse. I'll keep them up as long as possible.

Thank you Dragalia Lost.

[yaoicarus]

Mini Mids Pattern and Video!

The video can be found HERE!

The PDF can be found HERE!

Hope you all enjoy it! Just like my other pattern I made, it's free and made just for fun (but please don't sell it). If you make one, I'd really love to see it! Let me know what you think!

One thing I forgot to add in the video is that you stuff the horn details and that I stuffed the back dark green horns before sewing it onto the head. If anything in the video needs clarification, just let me know, and I'll explain!

I plan on making the rest of the greatwyrms eventually, but it will be a long while. So, watch out for that whenever I get around to it!

[valeriefauxnom]

Just a stupid little thing, but remember that time in the first chapter, wherein Midgardsormr says this:

And oh boy it's funny, because what he means (child of humans) is, uh, obscured by the fact he just accidentally called Euden a manchild, which might very well exist as an insult in Dragalia's overall modern-lingo status even if the nobility keep a more antiquated style of speech.

Mids, who has isolated himself in a forest for 300 years, occasionally tripping over modern developments in the language is a funny thought. I mean, heck, the shadow Greatwyrms (as likely the eldest of the Greatwyrms) already struggle with technology in the mini comics:

(See: Chthonius being baffled by smartphones and Zodiark becoming Zoom Grandpa)

So yeah, all I'm saying is that much like Leonidas tripping himself on slang in the comics (see this post here), we needed more of the dragons being so isolated and out-of-touch for how the 'lesser races' actually communicate in the past few decades-to-centuries that they make silly faux-pas all the time.

One of the other examples I can think of is Zodiark unwittingly freaking out everyone in the vicinity with this hilarious exchange, but this is due to his lack of knowledge about humans and what they can eat rather than language:
