Would You Want To Use Dranonic Pronouns As Neos?
Would you want to use Dranonic pronouns as neos?
I fully respect neopronouns, and think they're cool as hell- but I could never use them myself. Not because there's some underlying dislike of them, but primarily because... idk man that's just so much work. I can barely get the guts up to correct someone when they don't use he/him for me, and those are pronouns that are already normalized.
But, of course, that's not the only reason- otherwise I would recognize it as a thing I wanted to do but couldn't. But as is I just don't feel like any I've seen would fit right, and frankly all the dragon-y ones I've seen just don't flow right in a sentence in my brain. Like if I had to use neopronouns I'd want them to be pretty and flowy sounding. Ultimately I do think that there are ways I'd like to express being draconic more, but I don't think pronouns are quite where it fits.

Loki: god of foreshadowing
Bold can be skipped if you know me from my main since you likely already know this: My mom and I are both witches. We work with Loki, amongst other deities, and most of our deities prefer what I call "direct communication." AKA we get thoughts that aren't our own, words, images, that sort of thing, and we know it's them. This is important context.
So, Loki has been emphasizing a theme of shapeshifting in my + my mother's life lately. Like, we'll be talking about something, and whenever they can one of us will get this quiet "shapeshiftiiiiiiiing" stage whisper in our heads. Sometimes we'll both pick it up, but usually it's whoever it's relevant to most at the moment.
The thing about this is... uh... we figured out why.
Long story short, turns out my mom is otherkin too. She's a polymorph, but specifically a gryphon. (Not sure if she's more of a gryphon who shapeshifts, or a polymorph who's got a few favorite forms and one of them is a gryphon. I keep forgetting to clarify.)
But wait, there's more! /ref I don't have a single draconic form. In fact, whereas I thought I had one and then maybe two (one for land and one for the ocean) I... probably basically had a bunch of traits to pick and choose from as I so pleased. Mix and match. Also, mimicry. Like a cuddlefish or octopus. The reason that I have (privately, I haven't posted about it) been struggling to figure out what my draconic form looked like is because... well, there's no one answer. It looked like whatever the fuck I wanted it to look like.
So yeah. UPG, Loki is now the god of foreshadowing to me.
you are a huge as fuck dragon don't worry ever You can just crush shit
this is the best and most right anon ever. you ARE right i AM a huge as fuck dragon *kicks down an entire house
okay but Prev's tags (the specific one is on this post) literally has motivated me to maybe attempt to draw my ugly-ass dragon so. thanks for that I'll update if I ever do XD
More AI art complaints
Ok, so now that I have been looking for decor for when I eventually move out and when I looked up dragon stuff, I keep finding AI generated stuff on Amazon. It pisses me off for multiple reasons! These AI generated dragon items are disgusting, ugly and unethical!

Now, to my fellow dragons, let me tell you how I identify AI generated dragons

Inconsistent number of wing fingers. Above is a dragon who has 6 wing fingers on one wing while they have only three on the other

2. Asymmetrical horns, this one is usually the biggest dead give away due to the head being the main focus. Usually the horns aren't even, not to bash dragons who have horn defects, but as seen above this dragon is also growing an extra horn, which might not be healthy. In addition the ear fin is completely missing on the other side of the head

3. Weird anatomy, as you can see the hind legs have weird proportions and one of the front talons has an extra talon, as well as the wings not being a consistent size. This can also include weird uneven scales
Just wanted to offer a talon out to help my fellow dragons, this makes finding dragon decor hard for us since the otherkin and therian communities also tie into art communities, and seeing our art being eaten up and spat out like this is upsetting. Support artists, only by from artists, avoid amazon for dragon paintings and screw AI
IT'S ME!!
