This Life, It Happened In A Park. It Was Warm, Birds Were Singing From The Trees And A Woman Was Playing

This life, it happened in a park. It was warm, birds were singing from the trees and a woman was playing with her toddler by the small pond. The mother saw a couple, holding each other like they would get blown away by the wind the second they let go and smiled softly. It reminded her of her first love.

Emily gasped softly when she broke the kiss. "It's you. I- remember..." Her voice broke and she found herself in a hug. "I remember too. I missed you, my darling" Jay whispered, pulling Emily as close as possible and letting out a shaky laugh.

Robin was out on a jog, already regretting the idea when they spotted a annoyingly sweet couple on a bench, smiling and holding hands. The woman leaned in for a kiss just as Robin debated just going home and-

The woman with her toddler turned back to her kid just in time to see a scrawny jogger trip over their own feet and faceplant directly into the dirt. The toddler giggled when the stranger let out a string of curses that had the mother quickly cover their child's ears.

Robins mild annoyance at the couple across the park immediately turned into pure frustration when the memories came back to them. It only took Robin a few moments to recover (after hundreds of times beeing struck by the memories of countless past lifes in the middle of an otherwise normal day, you get used to it) and get up to give their reincarnated friends a good amount of shit for pulling them into their love story. Again.

Years later, a gray-haired couple sat in the same park, talking about their past and smiling at the memories. Comforting each other at the bad ones.

"I wonder where Robin is, now" Jay said, his head resting on his wife's shoulder. Their friend had passed away from cancer a few months back. They weren't sad, knew that they could trust their friend to find them again.

They had time.

Emily was reading the newspaper to her husband in their small garden. He listened with closed eyes when something brushed his leg. "Em?" Emily stopped reading, looked down and was met with a pair of yellow eyes staring back up at her. A laugh bubbled up in her chest. "I believe our friend found us, my love." She bend down to pick the small creature up, placing it on her husband's lap.

Jay felt the weight and lifted his hand, feeling soft fur. He smiled and felt the cats tail twitch. "Happy to see us, Robin?" The cat sighed. They would never get rid of these two.

The headscratches were good, tho. Wouldn't hurt to stay with them again.

Two lovers have reincarnated throughout history, destined to find each other and fall in love all over again. There’s also this third guy that reincarnates alongside them… we don’t really know what he does.

Why would anyone play sims 4 anyways. 1 2 and 3 are all vastly superior to 4. 4 is like throwing money into a toilet and shitting on it to be able to do nothing at all but oh there's a pride flag on the wall now.

The dog I'm walking loves to sit on my lap. (He's a little too big for it but he's cute so eh) Anyways. It's important to know that his owner has very big boobs. So he discovered that these things are very soft and amazing pillows and started sitting on her boobies instead of her legs, which, fine, there is enough space, I get where he's coming from.

One day, he sat on my lap, we were cuddling, it was very cute but suddenly, he starts scooting up my belly, obviously searching for the nice, comfy pillows for him to sit on.

...

The look he gave me when he realized that my chest only had enough pillow to maaaybe fit half a buttcheek.. It was the nastiest look a dog ever gave me. He was so disappointed in me that he got off my lap and ignored me for 20 minutes.

BOOB FACTS

Lopsided boobs are completely natural! in other words the left boob isn't always the same size as the right boob, this is completely normal and you are beautiful

that's actually the only boob fact I have so far I'm trans sorry I'm new to this

Hot take

Night furies are actually perfectly evolved for hunting and killing other dragons and the only reason they aren't a dragon-hunting species like the death song or deathgrippers are is because DreamWorks couldn't have their adorable main character dragon be a "cannibal"

(below I'm gonna try to summarize what we've figured out in a convo with friends on discord)

(also tw animal death via predator)

First of all yes I'm aware that pretty much every decision made about their design was with consideration of the effect it would make on human audiences but hear me out

Night furies are most iconically known as dive-bombers. They are built for speed, high maneuverability, night-time camouflage and for striking targets from above. If we remove human settlements out of the equation (which would not have existed long enough to actually influence night fury evolution, come on), what does that leave us with?

They aren't built for catching fish for sure, they aren't very hydrodynamic and their head is round, wide, and their teeth are dull. Honestly, the monstrous nightmare is much better suited for catching fish, with its long neck, almost pelican-like jaw and rhamphorhynchus teeth

Compare to

Yeah the jaws look kinda like a porpoise of some sort but for that the whole body would have to be a lot more aquatic imo. The light fury looks a lot closer to an aquatic diver, it has a sleeker body, rounded fins instead of spikes, and a long neck.

I don't really see them hunting land animals either, they just don't look like they're adapted for that minus the resemblance with large felines and even then, they're too large to effectively hunt in forests.

The one thing I can kinda imagine them hunting is large mainland megafauna, but we're working with a setting that takes place pretty much exclusively on islands. And overall, dragons are the only abundant species there with the exception of fish and human-bred sheep and chickens.

In general, night furies have duller teeth, smaller claws and are smaller than most dragons. Disregarding the movies making Toothless weirdly OP, a night fury would be disadvantaged against most dragons in a 1v1 fight and besides, it has four huge weak spots that would highly discourage it from a direct physical fight - the primary and secondary tail fins. One unlucky rip in the membrane and the night fury is fucked.

The night fury however noticeably resembles falcons, given their dive-bombing ability and high maneuverability.

Falcons too have smaller beaks and weaker claws compared to most birds of prey, and for that they compensate by simply picking up speed, balling up their talons and Punching. Really. Hard.

And they use that ability to kill other birds, even much larger ones, by knocking them right from the sky.

Here, the night fury's plasma blast works the same way as a falcon's punch. Dragons are fire-resistant, so what the plasma blast does is really just a densely packed bolt of energy that has the effect of either stunning or outright killing prey by damaging its spine. And what the plasma bolt doesn't do, rapid contact with the ground would finish. And if even that doesn't do it, the night fury's wide jaws and dull teeth are just fine for simply clamping around the unlucky dragon's neck and strangling it, like a lion or a pitbull.

The night-time camouflage allows the night fury to soar for extended periods of time perfectly unnoticed in the night sky, and by the time it strikes, the dragon wouldn't even know what's coming.

Unless

Say the hunting night fury is aware of other dragons sleeping under the trees, as most dragons probably would at night (village raids aside, most dragons seem to be diurnal), so how does the night fury get them in position where it can use its signature attack? Well, there's That Iconic Screech Of Death. Since in the movies it tends to appear not just during dive-bombings but also when charging up a blast, I imagine it's something the night fury is able to control to some degree. So by simply fake-diving in close proximity to sleeping dragons, it can effectively terrify them into leaving their hideout and fly out into the open where it can easily take them out.

I dunno, the possibility of night furies as predators to other dragons just makes so much sense to me, I really don't know what other reasons there would be for them to evolve these particular adaptations.

And one more little headcanon to add to this whole rant - since night furies are significantly smaller and less equipped for dragon vs dragon fights and are primarily speed-based predators, I imagine there is this very likely scenario:

There is one dragon who resembles a hyena, a lil bit

Ok, rant over

Sirius: I don't identify as genderfluid. I am genderfluid.

Sirius: I identify as-

Sirius: ✨a bitch✨

To be fair, I wanted to be able to shape shift mainly so I could be a dragon

To everyone who picked “shapeshift” as what superpower they’d like to have as a kid
