More Dragon Idioms

“summer at the Wyrmwound” - a really, really bad smell. Used mostly outside Plague territory.

“swap wind” - literally, the practice of alternating position when flying in formation, as the dragon taking rear expends less energy. Figuratively, any situation in which favors are exchanged, similar to the expression “you scratch my back and I’ll scratch yours”.

“Viridian mile” (or appropriate unit of distance measure) - a task that is far more difficult than it appears to be from the outside, or appeared to be before it was undertaken. Refers to the thickly-grown terrain of the Viridian Labyrinth, which can turn a normally unimpressive unit of ground travel into a demanding and dangerous distance.

“I’m your charge” - equivalent to “I’m in your hands”. The dynamic between guardians and their charges is so embedded in dragon society that it’s often referred to to lend context to similar (but less crucial) interactions.

“choke down the haunch” - to do something unpleasant to achieve a desired end. Refers to a folk tale in which a tundra dragon must hunt and eat with a mirror pack in order to win their respect and help with a greater task, despite not being a carnivore.

“making rocs out of sparrows” - making mountains out of molehills, exaggerating a problem to oneself or others.

“Arcane hello” - meeting by accident through shared participation in an unpleasant event (like being attacked by harpies and forced to shelter together). A small family of idioms appends “Arcane” to nouns to imply versions of those things “gone wrong”. They’re not very appreciated by Arcane dragons.

“wintercoated” - metaphorically, having thick skin, being able to shrug off criticism unpleasant experiences. Originates with tundras’ thick winter coats.

Bacchus the Bard

Bacchus is the Sandsea’s resident bard, and can be found most commonly in the Queen’s Copper Court tending to or playing his beloved harp. Known only to the keenest in the clan is Bacchus’s true role in court, as the Queen’s intel gatherer. Nothing goes unseen or unheard under his watchful guard, even when whispered under what was thought to be the cover of one of his haunting harp songs. It is rumored many of the Queen’s serving and attending staff are the eyes and ears of Bacchus, and not a single court whisper goes unaccounted to the Queen.

((thank you bonepriests for the apparel help!!))

annadandelion #135369, I like accents for Skydancers, Imps, Nocs, Spirals, Coatl - if I get selected any of those will do, I love all of your accents :) Thank you for doing this!

Hey guys. I have a TON of accents/skins I’ve made over the years that I’ve either not been able to sell or completely forgot I have. I’d rather my hoard be filled with the work of other artists rather than my own so I’m hosting a massive raffle to clear up space. If your name is selected you will get a random copy(or two if you are super lucky). To enter please post your FR username and # along with your preferred accent/skin. It will raise your chances but not guarantee you will get the one you requested if you are selected. Good luck!

please make a pinglist or something, I'd love to see it (and use it) when it's done! In case you do make that pinglist, I'm @annadandelion on FR

Remember this?

I once made a PSD-Template to show which Breed and Genes you like or don’t like. As you can see it’s quite outdated (Newest Gene at this time was Vipera…) and also hard to work with if you don’t have Photoshop.

I currently working on a new Version, this time as Web Solution with the possibility to convert the Form as an Image to post at Tumblr and so on.

___________________________________

What is planned?

- Rating for Primary, Secondary and Tertiary Gene - Rating for Breed for male and female Pose - Possible to make a selection of your favorite colors - Rating from - Hate | Dislike | Neutral | Like | Love - …?

Do you have Ideas or wishes? Please let me know!
