Random Reset talk again, but I can't help but love the idea that the Dragonfable Timeline is quintessentially wrong. Like it's a functional timeline, and if you ignore the weekly world-ending threat, you can live in it just fine.. But there's always something missing, right below the surface, always this underlying feeling of loss, of something being misplaced, or, inversely, of events feeling familiar. Of meeting people you've already met. It's not strong enough for most people to notice, but it's there. Everyone feels it to a certain extent, at times, when things just... don't match up... but they ignore it, dismiss it as just feelings similar to anxiety or deja-vu.

I love the idea of the timeline being, at its core, wrong. An echo of a forgotten universe that's just functional enough for people to not be able to notice what they lost

This latest release was SO GOOD in every way, but this line, especially, was so good for me, because it's so deeply fitting to who Thallen is as a person

Thallen, the hero who doesn't focus on just defeating the bad guy, the hero who wishes to bring hope to the hopeless, and inspire the downtrodden to rise up and stand for themselves, the hero who remains a beacon in dark times, the one who hopes to never stand alone This felt incredibly fitting

Random Dragonfable Theory : the Twin Dragons and Hawkscry

So, a while back, the DF devs posted this Pantheon Chart

So a bit of time ago I decided to take a stab at it, with... mixed results

However, the one I'm currently focusing on is this one

Clearly, the two green squares made alongside the Avatars by the Aequilibria are the Twin Dragons. However, this singular square beneath them bothered me... a lot. I couldn't find a proper idea of what it could possibly be And then, an idea struck me Let's go back to a poem that was the source of a previous theory of mine for me : the Hawkscry Calamity Poem

The first three animals are references to Mechquest and GEARS, right? But what about the Dragon. A reference to their disappearance in MQ? Maybe, but... how does it relate to Hawkscry But, there is something else that relates to dragons and disappearances

The twin's first Death, directly described by GenoKratos and implied by a book in the Falconreach Libraseum So, to recap Hawkscry's destruction, according to the AF2 Poem, involved a dragon, somehow, somewhere, and it resulted in this dragon's disappearance The Twin's first death was also explicitly described as a disappearance, with the source of their death unknown What if these two are linked? What if whatever caused Hawkscry's destruction also resulted in the death of one or both of the Twins. What if they were actively responsible for Hawkscry's destruction, or were simply present and caught in the explosion. Of course, all of this could be circumstantial evidence, nothing concrete... however there is one more thing that has been on my mind. And it's the text that appears if you hover your mouse over the Fissure in the Travel Map

Symbolism much?

#dragonfable #This theory isn't without flaws and potential holes however #the twins' first death is heavily implied to have been very early on in the world's life since the Great Dragons were created in answer #which maybe wouldn't have given time for Hawkscry to be formed #And the Pantheon Chart has this square on the same point in time as the Aequilibria going in slumber #However... even if this square being the Hawkscry Calamity is likely wrong.... #There's symbolism here in my mind #The dragon of the Hawkscry Poem is still unexplained #Our dragon scratching out the Fissure on the map feels symbolic #And their first death is as of yet completely unexplained #And yet seems important #somehow #And let's not forget the deep hatred between the Magesterium (survivors of Hawkscry) and Dragons #As someone pointed out when I shared this theory to them #Dragons would be frenzied if Hawkscry resulted in the death of one of their own (especially one as important as one of the Twins) #and the survivors of Hawkscry could blame dragons for the destruction of their home #mutual blame-game #Also on a completely unrelated fact this made me realize that the Twin Dragons aren't technically dragons #genealogically speaking. Dragons were made in the twin's image by a completely different set of gods to replace their disappearance

This burden of hope. The hope, the faith... It is infectious. And now, it weighs upon your shoulders. The hero, bearing the dreams of a people - Vseslava

#dragonfable #oh I love this #the hero really is the bringer of hope

[cyraen-ae]

Honestly each time I just want to say... hey, is Kordana magical? Just bring Kordana over to have her step on him in her giant mecha, squished like a bug

I've been catching up on the main story in Book 3 and Hansa is kind of just chilling, but if she dies they wouldn't have to worry about Jaania cuz I would blow up Lore MYSELF. My silly thoughts since I just got to Outpost Yeden:

Alexander is so silly. I've been playing so many old quests, and it's so interesting how different he is now.

I could've fixed Jaania

I HATEEEEEE the mushroom people. GOSH, I WAS IN HELL I HATE THEM SO MUCH I THOUGHT IT WASN'T GOING TO END.

I love how in these quests you can read chatter between the characters with you! Love seeing the banter.

What if they just stabbed Akanthus? That's not magical??🤷🏾‍♀️

JAANIA WAIT DON'T USE THAT SOUL--

JAANIA...HONEY...

Love my dragon's relationship with the hero. They're a little guy. My baby baby.

I'd die for the Golden Hand duo we're LOCKED in! (I hope)

#dragonfable #Any problem would be solved if we could bring Kordana over is all I'm saying #Mechquest Solves Any Issues

Dumb Mechquest fanfic concept : Cute normal Coffee Shop AU

Then one chapter ends with the Protagonist accidentally dropping a cup of coffee

The next chapter is a Dragonfable Coffee Shop AU

It is never elaborated upon or addressed

#dragonfable #mechquest #I don't have fanfic writing skills so it's not something I'll do myself #but this idea is goofy and I wish to put it out here in the world

Random Frostval theory time

So in the latest Frostval quest there was this reveal

Don't know about you all, but my first thought was... What if Holly and Tinsel are responsible for Moroz staying frozen

Not that they're doing it on purpose, but I'm sure a part of them must wonder, worry, that maybe Jacek is only staying with them because, with his father frozen, he has nowhere else to go. That maybe if Moroz was unfrozen, Jacek would leave and they'd lose their new friend.

Of course they're not wishing for Moroz to remain frozen, but the Frostval magic doesn't seem to require outright wishing to come into effect, so it doesn't feel out of the question that it could easily feed off of intrusive thoughts and insecurities.

#dragonfable #dragonfable spoilers #Frostval #I kinda like this theory #it's a bit dark #but just like my 'Magesterium came from Hawkscry' theory it feels reasonable #like it's a conclusion the devs are leading us to go to #since right after this it followed by showing that #like any kid #Holly and Tinsel can be kind of selfish and pushy in their friendship with Jacek

[cyraen-ae]

Yup!! Took about 2 weeks to make!

Although you reminded me that I actually never released the map for download as planned, I'd gladly upload it if people are interested!

Floating alone in the void, Pellow Village awaits

Today I have found a new type of tool for Minecraft to work on my Mechquest map and honestly, it adds so much to it I'm so happy

(tool is BD Studio for those interested)

#mechquest #minecraft #alpha quadrant map #I can't overstate how happy I am #to have the -actual- wolfblade in the wolfblade common room #and not some silly thing I made with an anvil and an end rod #and best part of it is that this is all vanilla #no mods or resource pack required #just straight up launch the map and boom it's there

You know the oc brain Rot is too far gone when you make them in minecraft

[ych] Thallen for Cyraen

A Halloween YCH for Cyraen this time, just in time for Halloween! The treats don’t stop coming though; this YCH type is available until November 15. https://www.buymeacoffee.com/croutonknight/commissions/14623

#Thallen #Thank you so much for this! #I adore how he looks with it #it definitely suits him so much #I'm getting gender envy from my own OC #it happens

A lil addition for later on in my Minecraft map. Got bored and found myself wanting to recreate the White Castle

Mechquest character sheet template

I got overtaken by the sudden desire to design an OC character sheet for Mechquest OCs

I’d be really curious to get feedback for them, see if there’s any info that could be added or any way to organize it to be cleaner

And I’d really love to see other people make their MQ OCs on it! I want to get to know more about other player’s MQ OCs!

SC

No SC

With the house logos below, because due to layering issues (taking the corner of the Mecha’s picture) I felt it’d be easier to have the full segment accessible to people

Like, listen. Listen. Listen

The Reset machine is implied to be in a timeloop, hundreds of attempts, all in the hope to fix it.

One of these outcomes, one like the After The Reset one, has to work, to fix the Mechquest timeline. But it doesn't mean it has to be the -original- Mechquest Timeline. Or even be the exact same

You could so easily make a MQ2 (or Mechquest Worlds or MQ3D or whatever) by placing it within this timeline

One which is still steeped in the Mechquest lore and universe, but has been just fundamentally changed. New lil details, little changes in this timeline that Mechquest players would discover and explore as the game developed

One which not only allow the devs to update the Mechquest universe to their current desires without retconning the original one, but would give so many fascinating opportunities for story, of living in an universe just slightly to the left of the on you used to be in

Hit hard by the realization that AE could so easily make a Mechquest Sequel while remaining within their unofficial rule of "every game is a different timeline", all thanks to the Reset

#mechquest #how I wish we could have a Mechquest game/sequel #Maybe one day #Please AE I'm begging you
