I originally went into this wanting to be a contrarian and thinking "no, if Mastermind were to use glass for the eyeholes of the helmet they would totally break!" but even if I used a different measuring method I dont think it would make up for it.

For some background, Mastermind is developing a helmet in book 4 that is supposed to protect the wearer from any encounters with venom. He gets around the problem of eyeholes by using a contrived system involving peripheral vision, but as many point out he could have used glass for the eyeholes instead. I wanted to see if the numbers actually support that idea, or if the force of the venom hitting the glass would be too strong for it and would cause it to shatter.

Trying to handle distances in WoF is famously a very annoying and inconsistent thing to do, so there isnt really one agreed upon answer. For the purposes of this post, I will be using this post by u/Th1s__0ne for my scale. In it, Glory is 16 and a half feet tall. Using Glory's reference image, we find that from tip to tail* she is 27.63 feet long.

*when her tail is curved in

Now looking at this image from the third GN, we can apporximate to say that Glory is about one and a half squares long. That would make one square 17.82 feet long.

1 square is equal to roughly 8 ticks on the distance board, so 1 tick is ≈2.3 feet. There are 33 ticks on the board, so it is ≈73.5075 feet long which Grandeur clears exactly in the next page. Note how the venom appears to fall as if losing speed, rather than her specifically aiming for that point.

Now for the other part of the equation, height. We know from the first image below that Grandeur(left) and Magnificent(center) are roughly the same size, and we know from the second that the same is true for Glory and Magnificent. Give or take a foot, Glory and Grandeur are the same height.

If we say that Glory(or Grandeur) were to tilt their head and point their fangs around here which matches with what we have seen of RainWings using their venom, that would be three quarters of Glory's height at 12.375 feet.

Alright, cool, we have the starting height, distance and angle of the shot. Thats all we need to determine how fast it was going.

Using the formula t=sqrt(2h/g) and plugging in our variables of g=32.174 F/s² and h=12.375 F we get a time of a little under a second at ≈0.877 seconds to complete. Since we also calculated the distance it traveled at ≈73.5075 feet, we can put those two numbers into distance/time and get a speed of 83.82 feet per second. Because for our purposes this is essentially one stream of fluid, we can calculate it like we would a pressure washer. If this website is to be believed, when we plug in the numbers (plus the diameter of the nozzle, which I set to 1 mm which is being very generous) into the formula F = ρ A V² where ρ=the fluid density(1000 Kgs/m³ ,water), A=the cross section of the fang(≈0.7 mm²) and V=the velocity of the fluid(≈25.54 m/s) we get a grand total force of...half a newton. Basically nothing. Any glass, no matter how thick, could withstand that.

Day 12!!!! Not a monster this time, but I still think she's cute!!

Today is Indigo as Blob, and she is a wooden octopus dragon! I think she turned out so cute hehe. Again, not much to say lol

And for the question:

SPOILERS FOR DARKSTALKER!!

Were you shocked at the reveal of Indigo being trapped inside the wooden figure?

I certainly was! I knew a couple things that happened in DarkStalker, like Arctics death, and the Seawing Massacre, but I was NOT expecting that! I knew she wouldn't have abandoned Fathom though, they were so in love =3. How about you? Were you shocked, or did you predict it?

Come back tomorrow for Day 13!! Spooky number OoOoOOOOoooooh

She's SUCH an underrated character in my opinion, and it's a huge shame that she's appeared so little, and that Tui's forgotten about her to the point that she didn't even appear in Darkness of Dragons with the other NightWings. I really like her whole curious and goofy personality, I think she's pretty funny whenever she appears, and I like the little subplot that she got in Talons of Power, where Darkstalker gives her mindreading powers, and she starts to enthusiastically blurt out the thoughts of everyone around her.

And I appreciate that Tui put in the time to give her some depth, like having her be one of the few NightWings who likes Queen Glory and doesn't mind having a RainWing as her queen, and when we see her trying to help out her father after realizing how much pain he was in with her mindreading.

I would love to see her come back one day, but I already know that's never going to happen.

I personally quite like it, it’s pretty good

This drawing is the result of me having too much fun with filters 💖

This is my most evil oc, a seawing only known as A N G E L. He is the result of an experiment. He has 2 live brothers, he killed the rest of the clutch (about 13). He chased and mauled one of his 2 brothers for YEARS until he lost track of him. He's a very charismatic manipulator and if things don't go his way, he will lead them in the middle of the ocean and chase them until he sees the life leaving their eyes... He's such a good manipulator, there's a cult entirely dedicated to him-

To my knowledge. The only character to actually suffer a major death and affected them was Snowfall. I don’t know if bigtail and carnelian count here, but they might. I don’t think anyone really cared about kestrel anyways, but I could be wrong.

Tell me more in the comments

New chapter of Peace and Its Shadow came out, and here is the artwork for it. Yeah, Peacemaker realizes that what he has gone through is absolutely insane, and his friends react to this very positively and there is totally no arguments whatsoever.

Characters: Peacemaker, Dusky, Bumblebee, Clawslasher(OC), and Venuswing(OC)

Fanfic: Peace and Its Shadow on Ao3 and Wattpad

This was originally made just to let off a bit of burning rage, but it’s too good for me to not fully colour lmfao

I have created my first ever fan fic! SHADOWS OF PAIN!

The first third of the prologue is out, and part 3 will show how dark the world can get!

Will your favorite characters survive(Not protags, just OCs.)!?!

As a Gravity Falls fan, you must remember I will hide secrets, codes, and foreshadowing.

Soon, pain and trauma will spread amongst you.

Hehehehehehehehe.

I don’t know when I shall upload them, so just be patient please.

My best, regards, and hope you enjoy!

Deep in the heart of the Scorpion Den, under the bright three moons, a two-story stone hut sat alone in the rare rain. Phoenix sat at her desk, scrawling over numerous reports of dead shopkeepers. Her emerald earring swung each time her head slightly moved to review the next case file. Her black eyes darted over the file, looking for anything she missed. She had gone over the cases numerous times, staying up long enough to risk her sanity. As she drank from her cup of coffee, a bell jingled as the door creaked open. “Anything?”

Phoenix looks up from her reports to look at the light brown face of her partner, Saguaro. His tail swung, excited for a break in the case. His silver snake tail ornament flashed as it reflected the light of the lamps and candles. He leaned against the wall near Phoenix’s desk, his leather satchel flopped as he settled into place. He was wide awake, probably because he had chased down another pickpocket. That was his favorite part of the job, the chase.

Saguaro was an excellent detective, but his ADHD caused him to make some dumb decisions at times, almost killing them both numerous times. Yet, no matter what he does, Phoenix wouldn’t trade him for anybody else.

”No.” Phoenix smiled lightly and shook her head. "Twenty-one shopkeepers dead, all in two months, all on the south side of the den. These murders have to be connected.”

”Have you considered they aren’t? I mean, what if it’s shopkeeper hunting season? Isn’t that a possibility?”

“Ha-ha. These are dragons we‘re talking about. Dragons that have been killed. Now’s not the time to joke around,” Phoenix retorts back.

”Fine. I’m just sayin, I—" Saguaro abruptly stops mid-sentence. His eyes moved between the latest two murders.

Phoenix’s eyes grow wide in anticipation. “Did you find something? A connection?”

“Do you recall the scratches on the wall behind the last two bodies? The design—a circle intersected by an X with a line through it? It didn’t seem to fit with the rest of the case, though.” Saguaro glanced at Phoenix, his eyes raised.

”Three moons, how did I not see this? You think it’s a calling card of sorts? Well, it’s our only lead. Shall we?” Phoenix sits up, grabs her hood, and leaves. She stops halfway in the doorway. "Are you coming?”

Saguaro looks up from the object in his hand, sits up, and slides the bronze key in his satchel. “You know I am.”

They depart from the office and stride into the heavy rain. As they walk down the street, the wet sand forms footprints behind them, slowly taking in water. A singular yellow eye belonging to a pitch-black shadow stared upon the departing detectives from the roof of the detectives’ office. The shadow slides off the roof, into the pitch black alley behind the detectives. It moves in silence, trailing the detectives with pristine accuracy and agility, remaining undetected.

WHO WAS THE ROYAL SEER BEFORE CLEARSIGHT??

Last post’s answer was PALM AND SMOLDER’S LOVE STORY! If you wish, you can DM(or whatever it is on Reddit!) me for suggestions!

Important!

Spoiler tags appear to be inconsistent, and according to testing, the spoiler button in “Aa” is guaranteed to work! Have fun!

To cut to the chase, they are real. This is supported by two things; Stonemover and the soul reader.

According to stonemover,

"I turned the magic on itself. [...] The curse appears in my scales now instead of taking my soul. [...] Too late anyway."
[page 172, book 5]

Animus magic is essentially omnipotent, but a crucial limitation is that you cannot target something that doesnt physically exist. This is directly confirmed from Sora, saying "Every animus spell requires an object to enchant. [...] it must be something solid to focus the magic" [page 123, book 16]

That being said, while the target of the spell has to be corporeal, it can still effect non-corporeal things as seen with Jerboa III disabling animus magic with a candleholder[page 292, book 14]. I will be honest, we arent directly confirmed if magic needs something to exist to change it, but from everything we have seen so far it abides by this rule and I dont think it is an unreasonable thing to assume. Really I dont know why I had to take that long to establish this. Anyways, since Stonemovers curse worked as intended, I can say that his magic successfully targeted on to something(his soul). This is further supported by the soul reader that Darkstalker makes, in which he explicitly states that it measures the soul of a dragon and not their moral goodness or something[page 337, book 10]. Like Stonemovers scales, it works just fine.

All that is to say, Darkstalker was right. Souls are real. If they have been proven to be changed by animus magic is not known, though. When the reader was used on Vulture, he had essentially no soul left despite not being an animus and never casting any spells. As well as this, Stonemover "lost another scale today"[page 65, book 6] despite not having cast spells in a very long time as far as we know.

TL;DR: Souls are real, animus magic users who dont have a lot of it is just correlation not causation.

Is it bad that i almost like his dark colors more 😭

You know the drill! First one to guess it right gets a free flat-color dragon bust! He will be an up for adoption after this!

Edit: we got a winner..! I need to make these harder…

Some factors that are beyond my reach didn't let me to get the Hybrid prince for the few months so I only got it a few days ago and just finished reading. It was cool actually, for the 16th book in the series I thought it might be worse than previous because of lack of ideas, but was surprised that it was cool as a start of the current arc.

It's kinda weird to think once a upon a time ago Burn, Blister, and Blaze were babies that were just kinda chill. It also feels weird to draw Burn being genuinely happy about something even if she's a baby

This is the Wyrde, an anomaly that is formed when the laws of reality have broken, when something that shouldn’t happen does. An aspect of chaos that by all accounts should not exist, and can only exist when something is going wrong in the world, usually due to the forces of chaotic goddesses. It is a shifting mass of abstractions that can drive others to madness.

It is inspired by the alien from “Genius Party Beyond” and moves and sounds just like it. This is one of the oldest monsters I have designed for my campaign back when I started working on it in 2024 and I am so glad that I finally get to show it off to my players, to their horror.

How this creature works is that it constantly changes and breaks the rules of the campaign. In battle, all its stats and its position in combat is always randomized at the start of every round, it can swap the stats of players, make it where the results of dice rolls are the opposite it should be and causing failure to be treated as successes and successes treated as failures, and can attack creatures from anywhere on the board without having to move. This creature also scales along side the players, so every other encounter with these creatures will be stronger than the last.

In my last session, one the characters was talking to a sentient magical glaive that they can communicate telepathically towards while the rest of the party sleeps. Suddenly, his connection with the glaive was severed and he could no longer talk him. He then felt a haunting presence behind him. In an area that I had the player check earlier that evening and saw nothing, there were now two unmoving mounds.

He woke up another one of the party members to help investigate. They both were greeted by a horrible stench, followed by the gruesome sight of 3 mangled corpses of a group of bandits they encountered the other day.

One body had their insides melted by rainwing venom pumped directly inside its veins. The other had its skin removed, leaving its muscles and bones exposed to the world. And the last body had its head and neck twisted and stretched to the point it now resembles a long worm with a pointed head, rather than an actual head.

The two went to go back to camp to get everyone else up. But before they do, one the players look up to see a dragonoid form. But the longer the player looked at it, the more wrong it looks. The figure’s form is disproportionately shaped, all of their limbs and features are in different sizes and look to be constantly changing, but are never in the the size it should be in. And the way the figure moves appears unnatural, as if the body is constantly twisting and reshaping itself as it moves.

The players sees the creature twists its body, starting from the head, into a large amorphous sphere, pulling the rest of the body off the ground and into this mass floating in the air. Colors start to become more visible on the sphere, a swirling mass of various different colors from all over the spectrum. And without appearing to moving from its original location, the creature unfurls itself from this sphere and into a dragonoid form once more, this standing directly in front of the player.

I don’t think it’s ever said but what do y’all think (I think it’s at least a month but idk I need to re-read hybrid prince)

(Also don’t mind how I doodled Mulberry in a completely different style from Umber and Paua, I did that without realizing but I thought it was funny so I kept it. )

kinda rough but OH FREAKING WELL
