A Tundra dragon's wintercoat is thick enough to completely cover the webbed part of their wings when not in flight, protecting the exposed skin from frost. In the coldest parts of the Southern Icefield, all travel during winter is done on foot not only to avoid exposing the wings to frigid temperatures, but also because the coat can grow heavy enough to make liftoff difficult or impossible.
In most cases, the coat also grows over the feet, but the individual in this picture has trimmed it back to expose their claws. This may be done for aesthetic reasons or for the physical dexterity granted by unfurred feet. In either case, they'll need some sort of protection before heading outside.
Most Tundra dragons don't use specialized winter gear - their coats are more insulating than almost any other material you could get ahold of. In fact, cold-weather clothing for Tundras with patchy, shaved, or otherwise inadequate coats is often made from shed fur from the previous season! Blankets and other textiles made from Tundra fur are often passed down as heirlooms or given to leaving clan members (if they're leaving on good terms), as fur can retain the scent of the dragon who shed it for many years.
Non-Tundra clan members will wear garments made from shed fur as well, and they can be valuable exports if the clan can find a market. There are very few places outside the Icefield that get cold enough to require that kind of garment, so demand is naturally limited. The most common customers are high-altitude fliers, abyssal divers (the fur is not waterproof, but doesn't lose its insulating properties when wet), and the occasional collector or museum.

recently I've been seeing a shit ton of discourse about Princess Bubblegum on twt and how some people kinda view her as some sort of irredeemable bitch who does not deserve to be treated kindly by marceline or anyone and like,,,though couple of pb's actions are certainly morally questionable at best and outright unethical at worst,, people must know that adventure time has like 10 main seasons worth of pb character plot right? and like,,,doesn't the whole "we were messed-up kids who taught ourselves how to live" verse from the monster song like literally sum up why PB was the way she was until she decided to outgrow that-

thinking about how bubblegum's biology works as a being that is literally just Gum That Is Alive and. wasnt there a whole thing about how her physical/mental age is determined by how much candy mass she has??? after the thing w the lich she lost a lot of her body so she temporarily regressed into being 13. and then after they got her more candy she turned back into being 19. like could she get older if she wanted to but shed just have to get progressively taller to do so??? has the show ever talked about this again how isnt this a thing ppl discuss
