This is by far the most unfaithful 'redesign' I've done so far. But that being said, I don't call myself a butcher for no reason.

I don't enjoy how TNR brings back dragons from the original series, as it's set far, far into the future the fact that those species still exist and are practically unchanged is well, weird to me. The fact that NIGHTLIGHTS still exist is also extremely odd to me, as they are a hybrid species they should be long gone due to the fact that Nightfuries have been long extinct (Toothless is an outlier).

This redesign is mainly just me having fun tbh. That's what most of my redesigns are. it's less what the og could've done better and more what I would find more interesting as a concept. There's quite a few tidal class dragons in the HTTYD franchise, yet there's not really any that are a 'main rider dragon.' This is one part appreciating Tidal class dragons and one part an ode to the book series.

TLDR: kitten season is here!

The long story: I am friends with the vet who sees my animals, and from time to time she will reach out about a kitten emergency.

Another client of hers has been trapping a colony near his house, and is down to just three known cats left to spay/neuter: two females and a male. When he trapped one of the females and realized that she was about to give birth he decided to let her have the kittens in his bathroom rather than have a late term spay/abortion performed.

This kind man is also the full time caretaker of a disabled relative, who went into the bathroom to see the kittens and accidentally let mama cat outside. So the man called the vet who contacted me, and now I have five beautiful kittens who will need round the clock feeding for awhile yet.

Soon to be four kittens, I think, as the buff girl is going downhill rapidly. Send good vibes for the other four, who are bright and hungry!

The Nine Realms dragons redesigns~

So I wanted to just play around with some ideas for redesigns for Feathers, Plowhorn, and Wu & Wei. Mostly, I wanted to doodle.

I re-designed feathers to actually have more feathers instead of just a few on her head and tail. She's partially based off of a nightjar bird and I wanted her to be a bit more bird-looking over reptile-looking.

Plowhorn kept her rhino-like look, but I added more armor plating instead of the beetle shell. I also wanted to add more crystals along her body to carry out this design choice smoother.

Wu & Wei's designed were changed to represent that of moray eels, specifically a wink to Floatsam and Jetsam from The Little Mermaid. I wanted them to really carry out that aquatic-look and I think the idea of a dragon being eel-like makes for a more interesting design choice with its irony, haha~

I didn't add Thunder on here because I already have a re-design of him and I just didn't have time for Webmaster.

Last week I TNRed this very sweet void, and now she is available for adoption at the Austin Humane Society!

She is newly spayed, chipped, and vaccinated. Approximately 1 year old and about 9 pounds, sleek and solid. She's a little nervous at first but once you sit down and start petting her, she will love you. She even started grabbing my hand with her front paws and pulling it to her face to nuzzle. Please give her and the other AHS cattes a visit if you are looking for a kitty, and remember to please please please FIX YOUR CATS!!!

A redesign of the dragon for my nine realms self-insert and uhh yeah

Open species btw

[rosiethedragongeek]

Okay so I'm thinking about The Nine Realms (for obvious reasons lol) and I think I heard or saw somewhere (this is totally not my original idea, but I don't remember where I got it) someone saying that it would make so much more sense and be so much better if TNR actuallyl took place ON New Berk years later and w the new kids discovering dragons and the hidden world due to their proximity w it.

I think this is SUCH an awesome idea and would honestly be so much better because it would give the show much stronger ties to the orginal series (imo) and open it up for a lot of cool references and callbacks that don't make sense. Why is there an arrowhead or wtv in the Hidden World w the strike class symbol on it? Why is Hiccup's diary in the Hidden World?? WTF?? They're not, they're hidden somewhere on New Berk.

That way it doesn't disrupt canon saying that they LEFT THE DRAGONS ALONE, and it feels less forced. The new kids could all be descendents of the gang, too. I know that having them be descendents w similar features or characteristics or wtv is REALLY far fetched after all of this time and I think that realistically it wouldn't be like that, but for a storytelling purpose I think it'd be okay.

And I think it's fine if Tom is a descendant of Hiccstrid, and all of the rest of the kids are somehow tied to other members of the gang, but I think it'd be REALLY funny if they all had different last names except whoever was related to the Jorgensons. Like the Jorgenson family pride in their name and their lineage just like,, transcended a thousand years and many many many many many generations. It just stuck bc they refused to give it up. (this is like actually the point of this post lol)

Anyway now I want to work on a proper TNR rewrite/reconceptualization with THIS premise and just see how it goes lol

I just walked a mile and a half and I am wore the fuck out. My legs hurt, my feet hurt, and that place where my thighs rub together? That hurts, because I wasn’t thinking and wore a dress. Come on B vitamins, work your magic!

The big drama at home is that Soba and Momo saw a KITTEN this morning; a little black and white spotted kitten about half the size of Soba (so, 4-6 months?). Soba was very interested. Not sure if he wanted to play with the kitten or kick its ass.

I think it’s one of the neighborhood tuxedo cat’s offspring. I kinda think Soba is Tuxedo’s son, too. Tuxedo doesn’t belong to anyone and doesn’t let anyone get close. I’d love to TNR Tuxedo and the kitten (Ramen? lol), because as much as I love kittens, a feral colony in this neighborhood (heavy traffic, foxes, coyotes, hawks) is no place for them.

(Got distracted looking up TNR info; looks easy enough but it costs money that I don’t have yet)

Anyway, I’m still recovering from my walk, which seems off. I’ll track symptoms like always and ask my primary care doctor if this continues.

I can't help but realize that the gate to Jörmungandr's prison took a long time to make.

Like... look at this thing. Look at the tiny Dragon Club in the bottom right corner. Look at them compared to the gate Hiccup and the Dragon Riders put there!

This thing took weeks if not months to construct. Between engraving the warning into the wood, (just one rune is roughly the size of a person) finding the trees necessary for the wooden parts, transporting them this deeply into the Dark realm... And then finding plus melting and forging all the metal parts of this thing, (including giant nails to keep it together and whatnot) transporting all that metal deep within, actually constructing the gate then putting the entire thing together... And then there is the locking mechanism designed specifically for Night Furies to open. It had to be both human and dragon-proof... and they had to do all of this with the red dragonsite's gasses poisoning them with each trip there and back, tearing down their serotonin levels, causing depression and anger on top of the stress of knowing there's a dragon like Jörmungandr out there.

This thing had to have been made before he was caught and imprisoned. There would've been no time to build it after his defeat.

That has to mean that, first trouble had to be brewing enough for Hiccup to find out something was extremely wrong. Then he had to find out what was wrong. Then he had to come up with a plan and get his Dragon Riders involved. (No way he built this entire thing by himself, he would need heavy machinery/dragons and manpower as well as time.) And then they had to actually make that gate.

It probably took such a long time. Weeks if not months, like I said earlier.

Weeks if not months of this thing out there, doing whatever it did to make Hiccup, resident dragon protector, lock it away for the safety of all of dragon(and presumably human)kind for as long as he could be contained. This construction had to last.

The Dragon Riders probably worked tirelessly, they probably had to fend this thing off so many times to protect other dragons but also to protect themselves and each other, and it all led up to that one final battle that finally locked it away.

I don't really have any strong feelings towards the Featherhides design, but I feel like they could've done a lot more with it.

In the US, most rescues don't require that the cat goes outside, but almost every cat rescue I've ever seen supports TNR/"""community cats""". They use their revenue to lobby (aka bribe politicians) for laws like the one they're currently attempting in California: to exempt cats from animal abandonment laws. As someone who works in bird conservation I absolutely don't want my donations or adoption fees supporting that sort of nonsense, but I've never encountered a rescue that DOESN'T support it, which is immensely frustrating.

Exempting cats from animal abandonment laws seems pretty counterintuitive…. Don’t those rescues want cats to be in loving homes? Like even if TNR was helpful, surely they realize living in a home is better than roughing it on the streets? What a bizarre point of view.

It does seem to be the same here in Canada though, with rescues and TNR programs being connected like that. I wouldn’t want my money to fund programs like that either, especially if they’re lobbying for changes in laws like that. It doesn’t seem to benefit anyone— bird, cat, human, or otherwise.

Our darling Penny has ✨finally✨ found a home, leaving just this sweet little doofus up for adoption. 09/27 will be a full year of trying to find his forever home. 😞 He’s such a sweet boy. Please keep sharing him, especially if you haven’t before. His family is out there, we just haven’t reached them yet!

Located in Leesburg, FL

In case anyone is curious what I've been up to lately, here are pictures of some of the cats I have rescued from a property about fifteen miles from my house that is under active demolition. Most of these cats are feral and were adopted as barn cats. Because their home was demolished and the previous residents who cared for them evicted, they could not be returned to this property.
