#it's like naming your toaster veronia but calling it a boy

if you lived in your space dragons world, what would your dragon pal be like if you had one? ps congrats on your writing success!

okay I’m not normally one for making OCs in my own fiction (since it’s already definitionally populated by my OCs exclusively) but this one is too fun. I’m even willing to overlook the fact that the odds of my being a dragon rider are slim to none, since according to the rules of my own ‘verse dragon riders are generally required to be phenomenal athletes or phenomenally brilliant engineers or both. fuck it, I have a dragon now.

I’m gonna say that I want a huge, glittery white opal steed dragon with a personality like an especially fat and satisfied cat. her name would be Antinous, after the formerly recognized constellation that Hadrian named after his tragic dead boyfriend, and I’d dote on her with many, many belly scritches.  

#Anonymous #okay... perhaps now I have to write antinous in #it's become a bit of a Thing in the lore that dragons have genderflipped names #not all but many #obsidian obviously is gender neutral #but rohini is named after a goddess and referred to with he/him pronouns #the real gag is that the dragons don't even have any kind of gender #they're not built with genitalia of any kind #it's like naming your toaster veronia but calling it a boy
