PEARL CERDAE ARE BACK

it has been a while, but I have finally gotten my pearlcatcher subspecies thread back up and running! you can find the species' info and lore here - they are a nature-themed exploration of disability, mild body horror, and faustian bargains.

you can also find some adorable badges I've made for the subspecies! I like these guys a lot, would mean the world to me if you checked them out :)

The yawns are coming back!

I'm working towards reopening the Yawn Shop after what turned out to be an almost two year break. I've already started working on some new genes, but as a nice way to kick myself back into gear with these little guys I'm giving away some free adopts to folks on tumblr!

Rules:

Reblog with ONE dragon of yours, please include both an image and a link. (as a bonus tell me something about them just because it's fun!)

The dragon has to be one of the available breeds: Coatl, Wildclaw, Imperial, Spiral, Veilspun, Gaoler or Pearlcatcher.

Any genes are ok! I might or might not draw apparel and accents, that's up to me.

This is NOT first come first serve or a random raffle - I will pick dragons that inspire me. There will be one freebie per base, so seven total. I'll try to update the original post along the way to let everyone know how it's going.

That's it I think! Have fun!

Happy Pride Month, Cinder and Nilas! Any friends celebrating?

I have been sitting on this question all month, because trying to imagine my characters celebrating pride is like... it's all of them, I can't think of a single one I've got that's cishet (also seasonal depression is being a butt and killing my art motivation in general x-x)

I ended up managing a quick doodle of my two pride-flag-themed Pearlies smooching though, I hope that's okay ^^

A Question About Diem's Pearl

Diem is a pearlcatcher based off an OC who belongs to Saronai across several different settings. -------- Lundlaeva on Flight Rising asked a question about Diem I am about to answer. It contains spoilers about Diem across all story AUs. Including (and primarily) a Dungeon's and Dragons virtual tabletop campaign with friends. Some of these AUs might be made into a series later (including their flight rising story). Only read beyond this point if you're fine with spoilers!

Q: "[...]What happens to their pearl if/when they turn into another breed ...? (Or, if they aren't originally a PC, then do they have a fake/stolen pearl??) A: Sidenote of interest: The purple-rose-wreathed pearl icon of this tumblr is meant to be Diem's pearl (unedited source can be found at this link):

So, in D&D a changeling always breeds true, no matter which species the changeling parent breeds with. It gets tricky translating this into FR terms, of course. Diem's mother is a pearlcatcher, their father was the secret changeling dragon. My personal headcanon is that most changelings start off looking like an infant version of their mother. In part this could be to encourage the bonding, but also it's a bit of subconscious copying of someone else's physical characteristics they've spent the most time with in the egg (or during pregnancy for the non-dragon versions lol). A bit of non-verbal: You're supposed to look like this. Diem's mother had a pearl, so Diem (named Lake by their mother) also has a pearl. It became an instinctual ability to have that piece of them separate the way pearlcatchers do. Throughout their childhood they were encouraged to hide this ability and only occasionally copied other pearlcatchers or altered their looks without changing their dragon species. Once they left home, however, they discovered quickly enough all the ways they could stretch the muscle of this ability, so to speak, going beyond the pearlcatcher form. As with all pearlcatchers, their pearl is formed by the same natural processes, starting with the material of their eggshell. We'll say that the same way they will eventually be able to take on the qualities of other species as a feat is how they learned to do that with pearlcatchers since the first day of incubation - tons of intimate, first hand experience via their mother. I think, as a part of them, they're still able to shift it alongside the rest of them. However, given the nature of it being outside their body and unattached, it transforms into a variety of iridescent decor just as under their control as the rest of their form. Jewelry, a trinket of some kind, maybe iridescent, filigree markings. Any number of tertiaries can be faked with the pearl material. I just now made this up thinking about it lol. These days, the fast answer is that Diem's pearl is most often in the possession of their patron, Ulaigh. Point in fact, that wreathed pearl icon? It's in Ulaigh's bio, not Diem's. Given how other pearlcatchers usually feel about seeing one of their kind without a pearl, I think that Ulaigh's magic allows Diem to create an illusory copy of their pearl when they are in a pearlcatcher form, but otherwise? Ulaigh has it in the safest keeping as part of their accumulated treasures. That bit is a nod at the fact that they are an archfey Diem encountered by chance after a shipwreck who helped them understand more about their changeling nature and was the first time they felt special and wanted. They are entirely naive, love and worship Ulaigh and without fully realizing it, by the codes of the fey, have willingly sold everything they ever were, are, or will be to Ulaigh. They would be dedicated loyally to Ulaigh even if they knew though. Fortunately, though ancient, dangerous, and a bit beyond human understanding and compassion at times, Ulaigh is good-aligned and treasures their favourite pet warlock (the name of Diem's class in D&D: Warlocks are spellcasters whose powers come from superpowerful immortal beings such as archfey, fiends, etc. in exchange for service, favours, etc.). So yeah, D&D Ulaigh technically owns Diem - life and soul. Flight Rising Ulaigh totally owns their pearl as well. I do think the pearl is still magically connected, Diem regularly adding to it the way pearlcatchers do. Ulaigh doesn't keep them separated. So I think sometimes the pearl is some type of fake tertiary element or disguised as apparel when they are not a pearlcatcher, but sometimes it's magically popped off magically through the veil into Ulaigh's safe-keeping. Sidenote: Their accent is meant to represent one of their earlier spells in D&D called Armor of Agathys which creates a defensive aura of spectral frost around the caster (gives temporary hit points and deals cold damage to attackers). So their pearl doesn't always look like that.

Another Pearl Cerdae variant joins the crew!  Mossy Pearl Cerdae are often druids and witches. They easily camouflage themselves in forests and swamps thanks to the patches of plants, moss, and lichen covering up to half their body. These cerdae need a constant supply of water to nourish the massive amount of vegetation they host. Some are capable of going without food entirely, thanks to the symbiotic photosynthesis of the Viridian plant. These traits make them well suited for century-long vigils guarding ancient relics, or conducting work in remote places with very little dragon life.

(pearl cerdae are a pearlcatcher subspecies found here!)
