So Apparently Reblogging A Post About How Bad X/Twitter Is Atm Got Me To 50 Posts! I Find That Oddly

So apparently reblogging a post about how bad X/Twitter is atm got me to 50 posts! I find that oddly amusing.

I'm surprised on how well this turned out! I'm not usually the one for 'busy' genes on dragons, but I have to admit: I like this :)

Now let's compare her to my actual Dragonsona!

If Kiera here wasn't a Gen 1, I would have gone for a water-eyed dragon since my eyes are blue irl. Would I replace her with the dragon I made for this little Tumblr game? Probably not. Was it still fun to do? You bet!

Let’s Build Your Flight Rising Sona!

Breed: Determined by the breed most prominent in your den + hibden!

Gender: Determined by your gender! ENBY, gender fluid, nonconforming folks choose what feels best!

Age: Choose hatchling if you prefer sunrises, choose Dragon if you prefer sunsets

Primary Color: Your favorite FR color

Secondary Color: The color most often found in your room

Tertiary: Your childhood favorite color

Element: Your flight!!

Eye Type: If your age is an even number, choose from: Bright, Dark Sclera, Glowing, Innocent, Pastel, Rare, Uncommon. If your age is an odd number, choose from: Common, Faceted, Goat, Multi-Gaze, Primal, swirl, Unusual

You get to gene yourself however you want, mix and match to find the best look for yourself! (Also bonus points if you can find your dragon self on the AH)

What? A story that isn’t Apocalyption-related for once? Yep. It’s possible :)

Lurking Within

As Will walked along, he contemplated the choices that led to this current reality: The one where he wasn’t feeling the best, and was now wandering through the city before the most dangerous time of day.

”Stupid green monster.” He muttered to no one in particular. ”I still don’t know what you are, but if I find you again, I swear, I’ll-”

Will’s little complaining session was cut short by a sudden migraine. He had been having them a lot recently, and that paired with his recent encounter with a large, potentially-smiling creature, led him to going for a walk to calm his nerves.

The sun was beginning to set, bathing the wrecked buildings in a lovely pink glow. Will tried to enjoy it, but it felt like his heart had jumped into his head. Leaning against a nearby wall, the living shadow waited for the pain to pass.

But it didn’t.

If anything, it only got worse. As he went to wipe the sweat off of his forehead, Will noticed how badly his hands were shaking.

“I pray you don’t go looking for me, Italik. I got a feeling that I miAH—”

A sudden jolt of pain erupted from Will’s right wrist. As he quickly inspected it, the pain spread to the rest of his arm.

He scrambled to take his jacket off, tossing it aside just in time to see a dark grey spike tearing through his wrist, followed by two more.

As he stared in horror at his arm, a low growl could be heard behind him. Slowly turning around, Will was greeted by a quadruped Smiling with eyes on stalks, and gangly limbs.

“….shit.”

He started slowly backing away, before breaking into a full-blown sprint. His current condition was nearly forgotten as he tore down the abandoned streets as all the Smilings in the area began to stir and awaken.

Unfortunately, Will’s escape was cut short when he expected to see another street, but was greeted by an alleyway. He turned around to see that the tall smiling had pursued him all the way here.

“Heyyy there, buddy.” He said, slowly raising his arms in front of him. “Eating me would be a really bad idea. Trust me.” The smiling was now slowly approaching Will with a snarl. He desperately looked around for a way out, but just couldn’t focus with the pounding in his head. Will let out another pained cry as the smiling pounced. The last thing it expected were some newly-formed spikes to stab into the soft flesh of its paw. Quickly pulling away, Will watched with abject horror as the smiling thrashed and writhed, letting out guttural cries all the while. It eventually grew quiet and still, with its terror-stricken eyes now noticeably blackened, alongside its veins. “Oh….oh god…” “Did. Did I-“ Will took a few cautious steps towards the Smiling despite the pain radiating through him, before poking it. No response. Looking over at his shoulder he could already see new spikes starting to appear on his shoulder to replace the ones the smiling took out. “H-Hey. Maybe this isn’t so bad.” He mumbled to himself. “If this is all that’s gonna happen to me, then I should be able to-“ A loud ripping sound interrupted him. It was the sound of an exceptionally large spike emerging from his back. Then another. And another. And another- Falling to his knees, Will could feel his legs snapping and being rearranged, just like the rest of his body. He wished so desperately to pass out from the pain, but it didn’t happen. Not yet, at least. His fingers elongated and he could feel the muscles on his face tightening to make the telltale sign of infection…the unnaturally wide grin. His screams and cries eventually fell silent as the newly-changed beast finally collapsed from the pain. What felt like ages later did Will finally wake up. He tried and failed to stand, before remembering his condition.

“Hhrrphh….hgurrr…” He tried to speak, but garbled growls were the only sounds that escaped his twisted mouth. After trying a few more times, he gingerly leaned against the wall of the alleyway, covering his face with his clawed hands. (God…could this get any worse?) “Will? Where are you?” (…….) The smiling listened as the sound of his best friend calling his name and the scraping of a spear against the ground got louder and louder, until eventually he could see Italik’s shadow by the alleyway’s entrance. “Will? Please god be ok…” Will silently prayed that Italik would just pass by, and right as he thought that he would, a flashlight beam illuminated his hiding place. “….Will?” The infected looked over at Italik, shaking. “Itt….uh-“ “Oh. Oh god…” Italik took a few slow steps towards Will, visibly concerned. “W-Will? Is that really you?” In response, Will attempted to climb one of the walls to little success. “Hey, hey. Deep breaths, buddy. Deep breaths.” Italik said in a quiet tone. A terrified Will made eye contact, dark tears streaming down his face. “We…we can fix this. Maybe Drakor finally-“ The half-skeleton paused, trying to hide his panic. Italik slowly creeped towards what remained of his friend. “You’re still in there, buddy. And you’re going to be ok.” As Italik’s hand drew close to Will’s, the smiling’s spikes began to quiver. Italik unfortunately didn’t notice the warning, and was promptly jabbed. Letting out a shout, he darted backwards out of impulse. It only took a moment for the severity of the situation to dawn on Will. When his spikes made contact with that other smiling, they….didn’t get up again. And now his best friend had received the same treatment, and it was all his fault. It was his fault he got infected, his fault for reassuring his friends that he wasn’t, and now his fault that his friend might not live another day. With his thoughts spinning as much as his head was, he bolted past Italik and down the street, his companion’s frantic shouting gradually fading into the night. As the Smiling finally tired, Will curled up next to a dumpster, staring up at the night sky through his tears. The only audible sound being the soft weeping coming from the beast.

“It…ullk…” “mmm…surrr….ee….”

Here's some Mignyan art I did for this year's anniversary month! I'm surprised on how much I improved my humanoid drawing skills.

AITA for quitting my job?

I (30s M) used to kill people for a living. Almost. You see, a terrible plague has befallen our cities, twisting people into bloodthirsty beasts. To protect whatever people remain, hunters such as myself are employed to slaughter the beasts in the street. I, however, stopped doing this because despite their grotesque transformations, they’re still people.

I’ve resorted to attacking fellow hunters to protect these beasts. They’re both people, so am I wrong for doing so, or would I be wrong for not doing so?

During my Tumblr radio silence I was working on my part for @pizza-tower-jekyll-and-hyde-au ‘s MAP! Considering how I haven’t animated in ages, or animated a human in general, this was a fun challenge and I enjoyed every second of it! I regret not saving the time I spent on this, but it was like four and a half days lol. Anyways enjoy! And check out the MAP, as there’s still some unclaimed spots.

P.S. Sometimes Tumblr steals the video’s quality for no reason. I’d recommend refreshing or watching on YouTube if it looks blurry!
