long-crested eagle (lophaetus occipitalis) from saturday! we watched him swoop off the post and disappear into the long grass on the side of the road, only to return empy-clawed a few seconds later
so a non-welcome home related ask and i'm sorry if you already answered this before, but what got you into dragons? i'm slowly stalking through your tumblr and i can't help but admire how beautifully and effortlessly you draw the scaley fuckers (/pos) ✨
i've actually never gotten this question, so this is a delight! allow me to Overshare about this
i became interested in dragons at an early age - like, kindergarten / 1st grade age. i don't remember exactly how it started, but i think it was my fascination with dinosaurs, oddly enough? i've loved those guys since some of my earliest memories. it wasn't a big leap from "giant 'lizards' from our past" to 'even bigger mythological 'lizards' from always". the Hobbit and the first Temeraire (im trying to get my hands on the full series now actually) were read to me at this young age too, and the only parts i remember are the big dragon scenes lmao
i do know the ball Really got rolling with the first How To Train Your Dragon movie, which i saw in theaters in 2nd grade. INSTANT obsession with dragons. i'll never forget how it felt to see Toothless for the first time. but in general, i couldn't get enough of em. i made my own dragon manual, i got the Dragonology books, it was the whole enchilada!
then in 5th grade, i stumbled upon the newly released Wings Of Fire: The Dragonet Prophecy book! immediately fell in love with it. and its what pushed me to start actively pursuing art! and also what pushed me into my first online space: ~Deviantart~. i saw all of the amazing art of my favorite dragons and wanted in on it. i can actually pinpoint the main person who's art i loved and found inspiration in: someone named Liighty! i don't remember their user, it's probably changed in the many years since. i loved their stuff and wanted nothing more than to be able to draw like them
long story short, i've been in love with dragons for the majority of my life. HTTYD and WOF have been my biggest inspirations and fuel to the fire, and my first delve into the internet pushed me to start drawing dragons (specifically wof) like my life depended on it. i haven't looked back since!
my third art for the reverse bang and it's time for some palace au vibes for wangxian! thanks to my amazing writer, @/dilfzhxn (twitter) / sunandseas (ao3) - everyone go check out the fic!

Emperor Wei Wuxian does not want to get married, it's not why he does this job, it's not what he needs, in fact, all he needs is Lan Zhan, and that's it, can't everyone see that?
Okay, everyone...I think I just encountered the weirdest murder I've ever seen.
This guy...just dropped dead right in front of me.
No setup, no murder weapon, no obvious signs of struggling...
Just...dead.
You might think this is because the man succumbed to some sort of stroke or heart attack or other natural cause of death.
Except the man was a perfectly healthy 30-something year old who doesn't have a family history for strokes or heart problems or even any diseases that could cause those diseases.
He was about as clean as someone can conceivably be with their bill of health, and yet, he's somehow dead in no obvious manner.
Its like his heart stopped working abruptly.
Now, I know this is a murder (Because natural deaths never happen around me and the circumstances seem too supernatural for this to be normal), but at the same time, this just looks like the strangest cause of death I've ever seen.
Now, of course, I'll come back with updates once I'm done with my preliminary investigation.
y'all who actually have partners,, what is a text ice breaker to start conversation? im really bad at it 😭
it feels important to note that when we do talk, the conversation flows great we have a nice rapport and complimentary senses of humors it's just starting the conversation that is the problem i think we are both just painfully shy 😔 (and maybe traumatized .)

Summary:
And yet, here he was, standing frozen like a deer in the headlight at the sight of blood. At the sight of Kazuki’s blood, the way he was unconscious on the ground as he continued to bleed from his head following the fall against the edge of the curb, slowly seeping to the ground and staining it red. There was a broken lightbulb, of glasses shattering right next to his hand.
“Papa Rei, call the ambulance,” Miri urged Rei before shifting her attention again to Kazuki, kneeling by his side and roughly shaking him to get him to wake up with increasing panic. “Papa Kazu! Papa Kazu, wake up! This is not funny! Papa Rei, hurry! Ambulance!”

OR: Kazuki had a head injury and lost his memories. Rei and Miri worked together to make him remember, and Kazuki fell in love all over again.
