Please Include What Language Your Name Comes From, If You Know. I'm Very Curious

so apparently some people feel like it’s annoying when someone engages with a lot of stuff from the same person, like going through their ship tag and liking all the content there. 

hearing about this, i was immediately paranoid about reblogging literally anything from anyone i don’t talk to on a regular basis.

so to save others from the same paranoia, i’m gonna say that if you like every single post on my goddamn blog it is okay. i might be kind of concerned about your level of time management, going through 23,000 posts, but it wouldn’t bother me. 

Wait I did plan to post pre-Tumblr art, and this wouldn't require much explanation (much less specifically relating to worldbuilding) so here we are:

(here are a few of my Art Fight attacks from this year--particularly the ones I like the most)

Isla! (If you've been on the WoF Fanon wiki in the past year, there's a great chance you've seen her)

Hydrophiinae (named after the sea snake subfamily! cool :>)

(ah yes... Lexi, the sona of the person who is my Art Rival (self-proclaimed))

Winterberry! (revenge for the awesome drawing someone did of one of my own sonas)

Well they all happen to be dragons which is not unexpected of me

Presenting: Shiny Dragons

(It's kinda long [though not nearly as long as my other worldbuilding projects], so I'll put it under a readmore just incase)

Description:

Springdragons -- Polyceros jubatus

Origin: World with Earth biology

Mammalian dragons descended from carnivorans whose caste system favors perceived beauty.

---

The main factors:

-Shiny, bright(ly colored) scales / matte or dull, brown or otherwise colorless scales (most important)

-Multiple long and smooth, spirally curled horns / one or less pairs of short, straight or bent horns

-Long, bright or rich manes / short and very dull manes

-Striking patches of differently colored fur or skin / monochromatic fuzz

-Long top canines (usually visible when mouth is closed) / short teeth

--

Minor beauty traits in Springdragons:

-Multicolored scales, horns, and/or manes

-Long eyelashes

-More scales (e.g. extra scales in places they aren't usually, and the scale-border pushing farther down the head, neck and stomach)

-Longer and thinner ears and general face shapes

-Shiny horns

-Brightly colored irises

--

Families of Springdragons are very large and those of dulls can consist of up to around a hundred members (though most are closer to 80). Bright families are smaller, with around 50 each, and the Queenscrown family is the only long-existing family with under 20 members. Families are grouped based on characteristics, such as Aryxes and Jakenses having six or four horns, respectively, Valenses having the characteristic heart-shaped scale above their snout, and Markhors having rough curled horns, though some do not possess these traits as they are not directly related, sometimes partners or adoptive children of ones in the family. The major traits of different families are often not mutually exclusive, allowing many dragons the choice to join either/any of their parent families.

--

(The following lists the characteristics of the pictured families.)

-Brights-

Queenscrowns: Green scales and mane. Exceed all the primary four Bright characteristics and have most of the minor traits expected of the upper castes.

Aryxes: Six horns and checkered scales.

Banis: Long feather-like scales, curled horns, and longer-than-average canines.

Stellenes: Pastel scales and four horns.

Razzes: Bright electric manes, very pale fur and six horns (though the first pair is greatly reduced).

Willohs: Long, thinly striped manes, light fur and relatively straight horns.

Valenses: Dark fur with the first scale on the snout being heart-shaped, banded horns.

Theriises: Short horns and long curled canines.

Jakenses: Fiery colored with four horns and longer-than-average front teeth.

Markhors: Relatively dull, with rough, curled horns and extra scales above the ears.

-Dulls-

Trias: No horns, stripelike scales and skin pattern.

Silzens: Pale fur, long straight horns, dull purplish scales.

Taruses: Horns bent upwards at the end, dark fur with white patches and dark scales.

Plintis: Thin horns pointing straight up, short faces.

Fenzis: Colorless scales and fur, short horns.

Ineshias: Long manes and horns, warmly colored scales.

Vesvens: Long, fluffy, fur and manes, small horns.

[Start ID. A digital drawing of Gabriel and V1 from Ultrakill in super-saturated, pixellated colors. It seemingly takes place during phase two of his second fight, judging by Gabe's bright yellow-cyan wings and the consequent blush shining through his helmet. Gabriel is pictured on the left, facing the left side of the screen with his head turned to V1, preparing to strike them with the bloodied spear in his right hand. Small but frequent splatters of blood dot his armor and outstretched wings, fabrics torn through in places. V1 is on the right, aiming its piercer revolver at his face. Their arms are stacked in pairs on either side, idle Feedbacker and Knuckleblaster on the left and Whiplash tucked atop their default arm on the right. Both parties are stylized to resemble insects, Gabe with beetle wings and a halo in the shape of antennae, and V1 with the four wings, four arms, short antennae and bristles expected of a dragonfly. End ID]

woah.... happy 1 year anniversary to gay people

also a couple alts (background removed, just gabe, and just v1, respectively) in hopes it'll be a little easier to understand what's going on and all!

additionally once again: special thanks to @magnumopos and @muzzleroars , neither of which I have actually spoken to in my life but both of which are credited with partially inspiring this! (dedicated section under the readmore due to the fact I do not generally tag people at all ever and wasn't sure if I should, but thought it was worth mentioning!) The former for giving me the wonderful idea of dragonfly V1, the latter for drawing V1 like a strange little creature + for the feedbacker plate, I enjoy both your works :]

Hive Awakening

so I wrote hive knight fanfiction

(Under the cut, it’s relatively short but I still like it enough to post, takes place post-Embrace the Void)

The Old Light... was fading.

My Queen.

She stood there at a kingdom’s heart, arms crossed in eternal rest. Stood, watching over her beloved Hive just as she had been since...

She had been there for far too long. Uncountable days, him staring up at her in wonder, him reporting whatever notable feat had been accomplished (of which there weren't many, the bees were tense and more restless than ever, though the stasis Hallownest has fallen into in recent times impacted even the ones who wished separation from it), holding one claw raised in a salute as if nothing had changed, him resting by her side and wondering when her dreamless sleep would end...

But the golden heresy seeping into the corners of his mind and vision had left him.

And his thoughts were only his own again, whispers of forgotten light gone now and forever, and he'd had to admit it. The Queen... Queen Vespa, the one he had waited to protect for so long, it was all for nothing, for she was dead. 

Some part of him knew. The same part that had already given up. But he wouldn't, not when he and his kin were dependent on her return. Not when there was a threat to their colony, a pale little wanderer bearing a silvered nail…

He hadn't heard from it in some time. It held no significance now.

With her unmoving form revealed a corpse, the Knight of the Hive couldn't bring himself to stay any longer. It'd be some form of torture, keeping the reminder of his failure fresh in his mind.

He needed to leave.

How could he? That would be the most selfish thing he'd ever done, leaving the Hive in disarray without their most skilled knight to figure out what in the Queen's name they were supposed to do now. He was her protector, though almost equally her second-hand. Every worker had their own part to play in keeping their Hive strong (though it was easy enough to hide from a citizen of Hallownest, it was obvious to those who shared his blood that his duty was not one of a drone), and the Hivelings were content with carrying out short tasks while the rank of a Soldier or Guardian called for their unwavering loyalty, defense for their weaker kin. The Hive Knight was Queen Vespa's closest thing to a diplomat. He wasn't occupied with anything other than the promise of cutting down any foe who'd dare to hurt their dear Queen, leaving him free to be granted the highest honor of the more important work, that which concerned Vespa herself.

The thought of him now being...possibly the most important living bee in the Hive by any standard at all was one that hurt almost physically, seemed to leave a pain in his thorax to wonder, considering what he had to lose.

The most important...

Queen Vespa could produce no more heirs, a fact that should go without saying as of her status. New adults were emerging slower than ever, and the number of eggs was gradually dwindling as more were raised to replace them.

A Queen, in her youth, is no different than a worker. A royal diet is all she needs.

If the Hive were to survive, a new queen must save them.

The Knight sat up. He offered one last, pained and prolonged goodbye to the Queen he'd been willing to lay down his life for.

It had been a while since he'd left her chamber. Longer than usual by...what must've been a few days, a few weeks even, he couldn't judge. The warmth and droning buzz of his sisters' wings comforted him, calmed his tumultuous mind. A Hiveling quickly accompanied him, brushing her soft setae against his own, smelling of honey and... and lacking something else.

The orange haze seemed to have lifted.

The radiant sickly-sweetness of Hallownest's blight no longer bombarded his senses upon his departure from the Heart of the Hive, leaving only traces of what once was.

He whispered a command to the Hiveling, who drew her antennae down in a brief nod, before taking off.

Perhaps the Hive would be alright without him.

Perhaps, he would wander. He would return to serve the new Queen, wouldn't he? The Knight's allegiance lasted longer than the reign of one ruler.

Perhaps Vespa was wrong, and the Hive would not be killed so quickly.
