I Hope You Enjoy Egg-eater Submissions. This Here Is Wiedii

I hope you enjoy egg-eater submissions. This here is Wiedii

I'm not sure if he really counts, because I made him before I found this blog! But Wiedii turned to eggs in desperation... He hatched to an abandoned nest, one egg already hatch and one growing cold beside him. A hatchling can't hunt for his food, so after hours of crying... He broke open the cold egg beside him. It has no special powers, but it is addictive. He had no one to teach him it was wrong, so he joined a ragtag group of orphans who all relied on stealing eggs to live. When he grew up, he attempted to stop, but the withdrawals were too painful to endure on his own. He doesn't know it, but he has a brother out there, a knight. He was born to a royal mom and a stable hand father, and they were nearly found out, so they took the first hatchling and went their separate day. He has a lot of love to give, he wants to be a healer, but there's no doubt if his brother ever met him he would slaughter him as an abomination.

HYPERGRYPH: You kidding?? All egg eaters count! It's pretty cool to see characters with the same theme created independently from my own concept, and all the unique differences that come with it. It's a genuine pleasure to see all that tasty tasty creativity^^

Now as for Wiedii:

You're truly going for the literature definition of tragedy, aren't you? My heart breaks for all the - 'what could have been'-s that are in his story, especially considering his predicament was very circumstantial. If only his parents had taken their entire clutch...if only he had found a healthier group to take him in...

I generally categorize Egg Eaters into two groups: {those who choose egg eating out of immense personal selfishness, and those who are forced into it via means out of their control.} Wiedii feels like one of the more innocent characters. Being a hatchling, he was acting as any other hungry animal would (and very much do) act. And seeing as morality is cultural and must be taught, it's not like one could blame him for his childhood. Now he's dealing with consequences of actions he didn't know were wrong.

That doesn't absolve him of his crimes after he learns the weight of his actions, but it does make him far more sympathetic.

On God...and his brother being a knight? He's the perfect foil. One raised with nothing and no one, without morals, who wants to change his ways; The other raised with the support of a loving family and who adheres strictly to a set code of morals. I can already see a Shakespearian tragedy scene where Wiedii is mortally wounded by his brother, but by some means the truth comes out to both of them(perhaps from their parents). I imagine the parents would be grief-stricken after learning that one of their abandoned eggs had survived, and coming to terms that they had failed one of their children. That, and the brother learns that life isn't a black and white set of codes in the most gut-wrenching of ways. What a way to shatter a worldview.

I hope he finds the strength to overcome his flaws and become a force for good. A healer is a great ambition, and who doesn't love a happy ending??

Thank you for sharing your character, he's definitely one of my favorite submissions so far!

Oh no, if you make a new account you forfeit your old one. :(

Yep, that's how it goes! It's alright though, the lore is still up on the LordTalos one and that's what counts. I decided it's best to start anew instead of waiting anxiously for months on end. I'm just happy to get to play again!

Please Read!!

I’ve received a complaint that people have been spamming/attacking the DramaRising blog, which is NOT GOOD! 

  My work is meant to entertain, never to harm. So I’m making this post to help direct any negative attention back towards me and not the DR owners(who haven’t done anything wrong!)

Please know: 

I’m 100% alright with the controversy surrounding my lore and the polarization it entails. It’s impossible to be everyone’s cup of tea, and as an artist I’m already prepared to run into aggressive individuals who wish to do harm or stir the pot. Trouble is always a possibility in this field, and that’s ok. However, any fallout that happens as a result should be suffered only by me, and not fall upon an innocent person who has done nothing. 

Please, please, please, do not attack others for my sake. If someone acts aggressive towards me, or seeks to do harm, I’ll do what I can to reach out and find a compromise through the proper channels. 

Your support has been astounding, and I’m extremely grateful to have such a passionate audience who’s willing to stick up for me and my work. You guys are truly wonderful! You’ve helped me thrive in ways I never imagined! But there’s no need to go on the attack. Put your faith in me to resolve these kinds of issues, and I’ll do my best to do so swiftly and peacefully!

Considering DR anon is saying you have gore art in the bios, and that you have dragons wearing other dragons' skins... Uh, I think they may be full of shit unless I missed something in their bios.

For the gore art( "drenched in blood" I think was their words?)...yeah they probably didn't realize matthias' old design is literally his genes (paint/paint/smirch) and ( Blood/Sanguine/ Garnet). This is really funny because I changed his design to resolve that exact issue in case someone had a sensitivity and misread it. Now he looks like he has red socks and anime hair.

For the skin thing, they're probably referencing a (SUUUPER OLD) short-story within Lord Talos'/Todosmodeus's bios, where the two attempt to rescue stolen hatchlings from a rogue band of evil plague-dragons, but tragically find they're too late. I don't believe it's super graphic, though it does lean heavily into the plague/rot element, and there is death. The only art of it is this, which is purposefully a silhouette to tone things down:

I even made a poem out of the short story ("Follow Them" in LordTalos' Bio) and entered it in one of those forum writing contests(got 2nd place too, so someone out there loved it!)

I do like a bit of edgy-edgy, but they overexaggerated and made it seem like I'm a co-writer for SAW or something, which is absolutely bananas.

Listen here mx hypergryph you better go sleep rn or I'm gonna hold Via and Okira under my arms like chickens and book it into the tangled woods /J

Look at aaaall those chickens!!
