“Like a roaring star, he thundered down the long shoot, and Manon moved with him, meeting each gallop of his powerful body, each step in time with the beat of the wyverns locked in the belly of the mountain. Abraxos flapped his wings open, pounding them once, twice, gathering speed, fearless, unrelenting, ready…

Fast as lightning arcing across the sky, he plummeted toward the Gap floor…

Down into hell, into eternity, into that world where, for a moment, she could have sworn that something tightened in her chest. She did not shut her eyes, not as the moon-illuminated stones of the Gap became closer, clearer. She did not need to. Like the sails of a mighty ship, Abraxos’s wings unfurled, snapping tight. He tilted them upward, pulling against the death trying to drag them down. And it was those wings, covered in glimmering patches of Spidersilk, that stayed strong and sturdy, sending them soaring clean up the side of the Omega and into the starry sky beyond.”

“For hours, Manon knelt on the battlefield, Abraxos at her side. As if she might stay with them, her Thirteen, for a little while longer.”

*dies*

the way that this scene was the hardest i sobbed in the entire the series, manon and the 13 were def my absolute fav sideplot i love them sm,, ain’t no one understand character development like my queen of the witches 😔✊🏼 (yeah i made two versions cuz i liked the red flush matching her red hair tie but alsoo her blood is technically blue so the second one might be more “lore accurate” or whatevs)

I just finished reading Fourth Wing. I had to push through the cringey writing because I have an irrational fear of not being able to keep up with trending books. Most of it was great. I love dragons, I love revolution, and I love romance. I just found the writing quality itself to be weak. Why does Rebecca Yarros start so many of her sentences with "Have to say"? That's not how you begin a sentence. Too much of the writing was written in the stereotypical cringey YA style. However, I do appreciate that Yarros decided to make her protagonist strong from the outset (regardless of her physical disability which, on its own is also rare to find amongst mainstream heroines). I also appreciate that she didn't make the 'enemies to lovers' trope excessively toxic which is also rare for a Romantasy book. On the other hand, I don't appreciate the inconsistencies in Violet's character. She is intelligent, she would understand why Xaden had to keep secrets from her, especially when factoring in Dain's signet. Violet's outrage and sense of betrayal towards Xaden was overdone. So far, Iron Flame looks promising. R.Y.'s writing has improved too. I really hope it stays that way.

Untamed & Broken

A tribute to Aerea Targaryen

Her ending always horrified and intrigued me, though the details of which I won’t share and I’ll encourage you to research on your own.😬

“Only plunging her in a bath of freezing water was able to end the creatures, but it killed Aerea also. As worrying as the creatures had been, something else had terrified the court even more: Balerion, the greatest of the Targaryen dragons, had been wounded. The last time Balerion had faced a beast similar to himself in combat had been Quicksilver at the Battle Beneath the God's Eye, and he had made short work of the smaller dragon.” Fire and Blood, GRR Martin

Who doesn't want a monster lover who cuddles them and hunts for them and gives them all the kisses? Who murders the people who hurt them as a romantic gesture?

Manon x Abraxos

“Each of the scars, the chipped teeth and broken claws, the mutilated tail—they weren’t the markings of a victim. Oh, no. They were the trophies of a survivor. Abraxos was a warrior who’d had all the odds stacked against him and survived. Learned from it. Triumphed.”

-Heir Of Fire

"Have you ever wondered why people from all across the world have stories and paintings about dragons, all from the same time period. From Asia to Europe to Africa. These big lizards, some with fire breath, some with wings. It’s probably because they are real. There is no other explanation. But where are they, you might ask. Everywhere. And this is what would happen if they came back."

Again not a dungeon meshi reader/watcher but every time I hear about that laois guy I get reminded of how my system had/has a hyperfixation on dragons so intense that we got that big fancy dragonology book and we treated it like the damn dragon Bible for like years

Now, obviously, we understand that there's different interpretations on mythical creatures, and no one interpretation on a dragon is necessarily gospel, but that multiple interpretations on the classic tale of beasts of scale and fire are completely valid and to be expected!

however if you call an Eastern dragon a coatl I'm going to come to your house and slaughter your family

#THEY'RE COMPLETELY DIFFERENT #yes they have similarities but coatls have WINGS typically and dont usually have other limbs. they're more serpentine birds #meanwhile Eastern dragons (Chinese depictions for example) don't typically have wings and are more lizard-like #like Mushu !!!!!!!! Mushu is an Eastern dragon #and then there's drakes and wyrms. which are entirely different bc they can't really fly #drakes are more like draconic horses or dogs. no wings but four limbs and a tail with a reptilian appearance #wyrms are more serpentine with no limbs and no wings. though i think some interpretations of wyrms give them like.. two forelimbs #then there's wyverns. wyverns have two legs and two wings instead of the typical eight limbs (four limbs two wings)#(i also perosnally hold true to the interpretation of wyverns with poisonous stingers for tails but that's just me cause i think its cool)#..... how much of this is just me talking abiut dragons #explodes.#oh yeah and obv there's the HTTYD interpretations which i adore! they're interesting #the designs are so fascinating and from what ive seen seem to have some science behind them #and arent just the typical western style of dragons. which nothing wrong with the western style it's a classic ofc #but it's still fun to see some variation!!#and ofc there's WOF #which holds true to Western dragons in simple anatomy but has its own variations and of course its own lore #then there's. fuck i forget the name but it's a fantasy story based in China i believe #i loved it so much it was so cool #anyways it had a dragon character named Seryu. I love Seryu. he my favorite #anyways i liked the interpretation of dragons there bc iirc it held true to ummmmm some Chinese mythology involving dragons #cause Eastern mythology of drahons is . so much diffetent than Western #Western dragons are commonly very monstrous creatures‚ usually very animalistic #they tend to embody the Christian concept of greed/gluttony hence why they're so typically monstrous/villainous #which i find interesting but i wont get into that #meanwhile. i wanna say Eastern dragon legends more revolve around the idea of a dragon as more of a godly/fae-type creature?#that's probably a poor comparison but that's how i interpreted it. agian im probahly wronf about all of this #im some weirdo rambling about dragons on the internet. dont trust me explicitly #i need to get more dragon mythology books #HELP I REACHED THE TAG LIMIT I DIDNT THINK THAT WAS POSSIBLE GOOD LORD OKAY I'LL SHUT UP NOW
