"Hey wouldn't it look cool to put all my permas in one image and sort them by color" I said, unaware that it would take me 3 hours to manually copy, paste and accommodate my 500 something permas

Worldbuilding Wednesday Prompt 3:

Talk about a dragon in your clan who isn't a dragon. What kind of creature are they? What kinds of relationships do they have with the actual dragons in your clan?

here was my attempt to draw the everlux with a more cute buggy face, based on a stag beetle.

A day out and not so emotionally charged, I want to say that I think everyone should work to unpack their internalized fatphobia, but also their aversion to bugs. Yes, I recognize it's an extremely deep seated reaction for many of us, but your life will SIGNIFICANTLY improve once you can look at a bug or a representation of a bug without triggering a fight or flight response. I know it's hard, especially when the source of that aversion is related to personal trauma. I literally have this issue wrt cockroaches to the point where even the emoji can greatly upset me on a bad day, but it used to be a lot worse and applied to more bugs. Now I'm not exactly singing their praises every day, but I'm much less likely to have my day ruined by a surprise visitor. I can look at more things online without having my guard up. I can appreciate newer content for one of my Favorite Games.

You don't have to love bugs, but getting to a point where they are as inconsequential as like, a pigeon, is such a massive improvement in life.

Okay positive post:

The Everlux are super cool and I'm glad that the art team really stretched their wings and gave us a really interesting design. Sure, they're a little cluttered and the male pose nearly completely negates the secondary genes, but I think overall the design AND all the Everlux genes are home runs. It's probably one of the best releases, in my opinion.

I think it's great that they're really pushing what kind of dragons can exist in their world and really making it clear that shape and concept are not inherently tied to the Element the dragon originates from.

I hope that all the negativity does not cause the art team to pull back on pushing the envelope. We need more of this creativity, not less! Even if you don't like Everlux, I hope you'll understand how important it is, conceptually, for the team to make designs that aren't going to appeal to every single player -- even outside of the fact that you just can't please everyone no matter how hard you try.

The more variety in dragons, the cooler the site as a whole is. I hope that the team gives us even more weird dragons inspired by a wide variety of animals and insects. I hope the Wind Ancient is neat as fuck.

And I hope that Shadow can get a modern common breed. Please.

My commissions are open!

Caterpillar music

Ok I love these new Everlux fellas but I think it would be cooler if they were like instrument makers. I love a good book wyrm but I feel aethers already accomplished that. Imagine a mama Everlux teaching her grub how to make and play tunes

Also totally bias cause I love the harp horns and think it would have been so cool to have more instrument traits (eclipse too omg that one is so lovely)

Overall love them tho

(Also ignore how big I drew these fellas lol I completely blanked on the fact they are tiny until I was done with the background 💀)

any dragon breed can be elegant if you're not a coward 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Person 1: I'm not too into Everlux dragons, I don't like bug dragons and I think we have too many insect-inspired Ancients

Me: Understandable, not every Ancient can bat a thousand

Person 2: These didn't live up to my personal expectation of being a sparkle-farting graceful ethereal Light Dragon Ancient

Me: Sounds like you had a Skill Issue, but sure, everyone has their preferences

Person 3: Fat? :/

Me: [armed with a mining drill bit duct taped to a pole, 100 meters away and closing the distance rapidly]
