I've found this nifty reference website for artists called www.dimensions.com that has a database of exact measurements for various objects, plants, and animals

They have a premium version with 3D models that I haven't tried yet, but it's definitely very informative if you're trying to get the anatomy and proportions for different species of animals right!

Ao Bing's father and aunty. His father is Ao Guang敖广, Longwang of the East Sea, and his aunty is Ao Run敖闰, Longwang of the West Sea. (lóngwang龙王 means sovereign of lóng龙)

Scholars used to use the word loong but its pronunciation is significantly different from the Chinese character "龙". Long is better but still not the same. The aunthentic pronunciation is more like [lɔ:ueng] and it's pinyin is lóng.

Translators use the word dragon merely to facilitate better understanding, but the Chinese "龙" and the Western "dragon" are vastly different, fundamentally distinct, much like two creatures that aren't in the same dimension.

The Chinese 龙lóng is a sacred mythical creature; they are considered holy beings, existing in a dimension above that of mortals. They hold the responsibility of controlling the wind, lightning, thunder, clouds and rain, regulating the weather, and blessing the abundance of crops. The copulation of 龙lóng with nine other creatures gave birth to various divine beasts, each bearing some characteristics of the 龙lóng, but the true 龙lóng is regarded as the purest and most noble of all.

In China, many people claim to have seen lóng, with plenty of folk records both before and after the founding of the People's Republic. In the internet era, there are also many videos of lóng. One of the most famous is footage taken by a college student on her dormitory balcony on a cloudy day, where a lóng appears in the thunderclouds and then turn its head to gaze the girl. Another notable incident is the CCTV live broadcast of the Gaoyou Lake lóng water spout event (interestingly, CCTV later edited the live footage, changing the scene of a real lóng spiraling and disappearing in a flash to show three ridiculous birds that didn’t follow the rules of perspective). These videos can be found on Bilibili if you want to check them out. I think the dormitory and Gaoyou Lake videos are real like they're truely lóng (the dorm one is especially striking because it looks exactly like the watery ink long on ancient Chinese paintings, with an extraordinary and otherworldly vibe, exuding an overwhelming sense of oppression). Other real videos show that lóng can fly at incredibly high speeds, like lightning. Folk culture says lóng can switch between physical and ethereal forms at will, which is why they can move so fast. There are also many fake videos to get clicks online, so one gets to use their own judgment. It’s widely believed that lóng appeared as early as the creation of the world, and they made a pact with the ancestors of Chinese people and have been protecting the 'Celestial Realm and Divine Land of Huaxia'华夏神州 ever since. In the unique Chinese twelve shengxiao生肖 culture, lóng is the only mythical creature—the other eleven are common animals. Some scholars think that when shengxiao was created, many people had actually seen lóng and accepted that they're real, which is why it became one of the twelve shengxiao.

Chronic Sonic Part 18.75

Pt 18 | pt 18.5

Right-o! You made it!! Crazy!!

1. Yeah so the Emeralds are high-key calling to Sonic now [COUGHS] takes some wild willpower to say no to that as you can see so props to the hedgehog

2. This was Amy’s first time seeing like… a bad day. She knew it was bad just not how bad. She’s not really a hands-off kinda person, she usually feels the need to help and hold and it hurts when she can’t give that because it’s not what the other person needs. It takes some strength to give people space sometimes folks! Feeling powerless She’ll be hitting Metal with a hammer off screen

3. Tails specifically designed his gloves so he can grab Sonic when his quills are up like that without getting hurt (implying heavily that this sort of thing has happened before enough times that he felt the need to invent them.)

4. Sonic is an introvert. Yes, loving his friends is a defining characteristic that he has but when things are rough and he going through some turmoil bro needs time alone to hurt and to process and piece himself back together. Tails booking it out of the situation was partially to remove Sonic from the area in case Metal got back with the Emerald, but also because he knows Sonic and he knows the last thing he needs after choosing not to take the emerald and having a mini-breakdown over it is anyone hovering over him. This includes Tails himself.

5. Remember to stop and smell the flowers to remind yourself you love being alive

6. If you’re wondering where Knuckles went, he was already flying after the Emerald (I just didn’t have the strength to draw more panels for this part, I’m so sorry knuckles ily </3)

7. Despite his dismissive response, Ivo will be keeping an eye on Metal.
