Revisiting my “realistic” dragons. The red bearded one is the males.

A dragon’s form develops based on the self perception and ego. Many take on extravagant forms and supernatural power beyond the restrictions of biology. Hogg however prefers to take on a “practical form”. Why fly, or swim ,or breath fire when you can just live in a hole and and use your wit to worm your way out of things. While other dragons strive for glory, Hogg is more preoccupied by his greed then his pride, and collects all sorts of stoned and objects without particular preference.

Largely preferring diplomacy and hiding away in conflict, Hogg can spew out a noxious stench. He is not immune to it’s unpleasantness, and asks politely to not make him resort to it.

At 800 years old Greytooth is showing her age, but not in the way normal living beings do. Extra heads were once status symbol for dragons. Only one with a great power and reach of control of territory could feed their many heads, and only one of great self control could articulate so many parts. The youth meanwhile find extra heads unfashionable and tacky. Magnificent horns and wings are what’s in vogue now and Greytooth is just an old fossil. She doesn’t care what wormlings think of her or much of their opinions on things in general.

Greytooth was a proud enemy of humanity up until an encounter with a brave young adventurer cost her a head over a century ago. These days she’s gotten much more reclusive. While dragons should be able to heal injuries with varying ease Greytooth’s old wound remains unhealed. She claims she will regain her head once she gets her vengeance.

Some dragons rely on strength to make their mark. Others aims to dazzle.

Pyrite keeps an impressive hoard of human artifacts, all glass and aluminum and plastic, for as long as it’s the biggest and shiniest it is the best. She welcomes visitors with open wing, her charm has clearly made the others respect her and not wish to steal her plastic treasure. Her interest in humans extends beyond their use as trinket manufacturers. A weak dragon is still a dragon to a human, and are easier to impress. They call her terrifying but beautiful, gifting her their priceless glass jewelry and scritches to her glorious head.

lot of people are going to be sent careening three posts down their dash and crashing into a brick wall because of this post

why did they start breeding busses to have flat faces. they can't breathe

if you think this

looks better than this

you're part of the problem. I'm so tired of all the excuses like "oh they look cuter!" "why do you care?" THEY CAN'T BREATHE. People intentionally breeding these vehicles to give them health problems because they "like how it looks" makes me so mad

Actually, flat faced buses can breathe fine! This is a case of convergent evolution, but the two types of buses are not genetically related.

Pointed nose buses are decended from trucks, and have their engines located in the front. This requires the larger nose in order to provide the space for the engine as well as adequate ventilation.

Meanwhile, flat nosed buses are actually descended from city buses (which in turn descend from trolleys), and were domesticated due to their greater maneuverability and capacity.

Contrary to popular belief, flat nosed busses typically do not experience breathing problems. Their engines are located in the back of the bus, with a large breathing vent located in the rear.

These buses also have a different structure to accommodate this change, typically including doubled back tires, a different weight distribution, and a change in location of the emergency egress door from the back to the left side.

the idea of Bruce ever kicking Jason out of Gotham for being a murderer is so wild to me like as if Bruce doesn’t know full well that regardless of fatalities, those children need to be CONTAINED. even if he threatens to kick Jason out, he couldn’t ever try to enforce it. the batkids have to be in Gotham. they havent been trained for the rest of the world, or more realistically the rest of the WORLD hasnt been trained for THEM.

the only scenario in which i can see Bruce successfully forcing Jason out of Gotham is the scenario where Jason leaves and then Bruce gets a call from Superman 2 weeks later like ‘god please Bruce tell him he’s allowed in Gotham everything in Metropolis is on fire TAKE HIM BACK’ and when Bruce pulls up in the batmobile to pick up his shitty crime lord son Jason is sat on top of a tower of crumpled cop cars with a taco in one hand and a pressure washer in the other, shooting anyone who gets close with a rapid jet of water and giving Bruce the most shit-eating grin possible.
