@linus-smallprint I haven’t figured out exactly how, but yes, a dragon can lose it and go completely animalistic, although this is rare. Even normal, they still have some instincts, they can walk on all fours and often will hold things in their mouths when doing so, etc.
I think many of my ideas came from the How to Train Your Dragon book…[Read more]

Out of curiosity, which side did you take?
It is okay to lie to protect others. The assignment was a persuasive essay on the Hiding Place, and my issue was whether or not the Ten Booms should have lied to protect the Jews.

@linus-smallprint they’re not ALL servants, but usually in societies where dragons and humans are together, dragons are kinda “right underneath” humans on the species ladder–they have rights, but are also treated sort of as beasts of burden/pets–humans ride dragons, put them in place of cattle/horses in work, etc. “Wild” dragons have something…[Read more]

@linus-smallprint There is a worldbuilding thread. I don’t remember its name though.

TheShadow replied to the topic Any tips for writing serious characters? in the forum Characters 2 years, 3 months ago
@rae I like what you said about having certain habits.
@whalekeeper Interesting perspective, I hadn’t thought of it like that. I agree with both perspectives though, but for this character there is mostly a reason for why he’s serious.
@linus-smallprint The character’s name is Eldred, and he and his brother Percival are knights. He’s serious and…[Read more]

@everyone
Today is the start day!
I’ve known about it, but I should probably actually do it this year
Lol, yeah.
Good idea! James 1:1-14 works for me!

First, your reviews are excellent. I’m impressed with your thoroughness.
I would rate it 4 stars. I loved it, though the swearing did get on my nerves. It would be 5 stars if there wasn’t so much swearing. I thought the MC, (it’s been a while since I’ve read it, and I don’t remember his name), and Sefawynn were adorable…[Read more]

Another recommendation would be The Postmodern Pilgrim’s Progress. It’s really good and also the narrator is hilarious.

@linus-smallprint I haven’t drawn a Hypersense yet! I should though. Once pictures are working, if they ever work, I WILL spam this chat with drawing of the different dragon species lol

TheArcaneAxiom replied to the topic Hello, there! in the forum Start HERE 2 years, 3 months ago
I don’t like the idea of the bad spirit. I would like to avoid angels and demons (especially demons) in my story. This is part of the reason why I developed the crystals I wanted to avoid a demonic score of magic and I wanted to use one that felt more natural.
Fair enough🤷♂️
I’ve also played with the idea that other animals hel…

I accidentally said the wrong thing. I was trying to say that Jesus always did the will of the Father, showing the harmony between the Father and the Son.
Gotcha, that makes more sense.
Very well. Seeing as you have dealt with all this before and you have likely dealt with whatever my response to those arguments will be. From…

Yeah, KP doesn’t do well with multiple links, sometimes it doesn’t do well with any at all. It’s kind of hit and miss in that way.
Ha ha. Yeah, this is a bigger issue. You might want to grab some coffee or something to drink for this one, it’s going to be long.
I like the confidence, but I don’t drink coffee. If you want long, w…[Read more]

@linus-smallprint oh yay, another person who thinks dinosaurs are just Earth’s dragons! lol
yeah that explanation makes sense, that maybe the worlds were always intended to be freely connected. It would explain why the portals are there in the first place, and part of why it’s so bad that they were closed.

@linus-smallprint Raptaurs have one set of arms. I really want to show you a picture, but I can’t…..😥
Not really! They can be all types of birds. Although most of my established characters lean more towards songbirds and birds of prey, I could see a flamingo ornithiform, or a penguin, or a peacock.
Also, there isn’t really different…[Read more]

Glad I could give you some direction! If nothing else XD
I was wondering. Alan’s profile affirmed several times that he is seen as a monster. Do you mean the common folk eventually discover his wizard powers and then think he’s a monster, or is there some obvious trait on him that people see immediately? From your drawing, he…[Read more]

Sorry guys; I dropped this when young adult life crept into play, and have since lost relevance and steam. I had some specific thoughts, since I wanted to clarify some things before moving forward. But I don’t even fully remember what my questions were… I may come back to this later – and reread our…[Read more]
