O7, Im Convinced. Fics, Hand Em Over

Can't get over how The Boy and the Heron is haunted by napalm. Of course in the way that it haunts Mahito's trauma and dreams, but also in the fantastical imagery. The vision of his mother melting into a pool of liquid, the story of the fiery rock that dried up an entire lake upon contact, Himi entirely. The fact that the fantastical world, far from the touch of war, has an abundance of water.

References to graphic violence ahead. Firebombing wrecked Tokyo. The firebombing attacks,iirc, actually killed more civilians than the atomic bombs did. There are anecdotes from survivors about crowds of people running and trampling each other to try to escape the napalm. About people running to local swimming pools just to try to douse out the fires or escape only to find that the water of the pools completely dried up because of the heat. Of people bursting into flames in the middle of running. Of people's organs/bodies, quite frankly, melting into liquid. An account of a survivor's mother, for years after the war, pouring cups of water over her deceased daughter's grave and saying "little one, you must have been so hot."

It's subtle and I am not even sure that it was intentional, or if this was on Miyazaki's mind as he directed the art, but I can't shake off the echoes of history when I watched it.

Awesome! Love how fluffy tundras are

Plentiful dragons, aka plentiful of love lol #gottem

Rework of my plentiful breed redesigns! With an added beastclan/anthro form for my lore.

Valerian (left) and Akoya! (right)

A princess and her knight in pearly armor. Akoya is a Sea-ice hybrid soldier, and recently turned into a siren, so much shorter than most. (Sirens are a fan made seawing subspecies/curse/gift/??? Thingy. Makes them very large and with fancy fins and 4 horns)

While Val is one of many kids of the Siren king Kraken, and just a bit of a fantastical romantic! ;]

This fits nicely into my latest obsession

patron of light

i imagine blue and luna as moth variants of silkwings

"Adaine will outlive her friends" "Fig as an Archdevils will outlive her friends" wrong, all their friends die and they demand to go to hell. They spend their afterlives in the Bottomless Pit surrounded by moshpits. Adaine swings by once a week for movie nights. She livestreams their funerals and they rank their eulogies.

The fathers! Bateleur and Cordovan, though i might change those names (Eternally indecisive, for real.)

Bateleur is the shorter one on the right, and a skywing, while Cordovan is on the left and a sky/night hybrid!
