THIS! The Whole Original Arc Is About Firestar Proving That Despite Originally Being A Kittypet, He Can

So I'm playing Inscryption, a game my friend got for me years ago but I never finished. I remember doing a bunch of stuff in the cabin, but I was never very good at the card game itself so I just kept dying before the second boss, the Angler. I know I beat him a couple times but I never made it past that. Definitely died a lot in the process.

I'm playing the game now on a different computer and Steam didn't transfer my save, so I just decided that starting over would be fine. Having a better idea of how the card game works now, I made it to the Angler on my first try and took on of his lives.

I thought things were going great, HOWEVER, apparently the game wants me dead now. The game glitched and went red and now the enemy's board has been replaced entirely with flight blocking grizzlies, because of "too fast, too soon."

This is crazy and insane and totally the shit I live for in a game. I wouldn't have made it this far without prior knowledge, yet I am being punished for said knowledge in a way that is ominous and terrifying. I genuine set my laptop to the side for a moment in shock.

This is so so cool. I'm excited and hope I'll actually finish the game this time, haha

Did something dumb with my food and nearly dropped my sandwich. Then proceeded to call myself crazy in my head before immediately remembering where I actively am. 😐

OH MY GOD

I have no words.

oh jim, not again

While I was waiting in the ER for them to transfer me to the mental hospital, some paramedics brought a guy on a gurney into a room nearby. I couldn’t see them but I could hear them talking. They went to lower the gurney and it made a very loud creaking sound. Without missing a beat, one of the paramedics goes, “Sounds just like my knee ouff.” and laughs. I long to be that funny someday.

my trusty old mouse finally died and i don't think i like this new mouse as much. :(

guys are gossiping!!

and this is actually a redraw of my art i made a year ago

In your Jewel redesign, you said that Wasp probably wouldn’t let her get away with full drag, but that does make me curious. What would a dragon in drag would look like?

you will not BELIEVE how much I've thought about this, both during and after designing her. I can answer your question and beyond!!

The (Drag) Queens of Pantala

In order to properly explore Pantalan drag, I first looked to the (cultural) definition of drag itself, as well as learning some brief history. With the first known preformance occurring in 1867 (Although not truly popularized until the 19th century,) Human Rights Campaign and other LGBTQ+ organizations describe drag as a preformance art form that uses costumes, makeup and other tools to illustrate exaggerated expressions of gender identity, intended to critique gender inequality or other social justice issues. Drag has traditionally been preformed/pioneered by members of the LGBTQ+ community, predominantly gay men and/or people of color.

With this in mind, Pantalan drag was most likely created and developed by Silkwings (especially in jewel hive) as a form of protest art. I imagine the movement was later popularized by hivewing audiences, becoming more palatable to the wider public after being endorsed by a privileged group as art movements often are. While there are a myriad of social justice issues Pantalan drag could have originally meant to critique, the loss of Silkwing rights and deforestation of Pantala were probably the two main driving topics.

Their Artistic Process

As for the actual production of drag costumes or makeup, Silkwings would have had to work with what was available to them - fruits, vegetables, basic dyes/craft materials and their own silk. They would construct their own jewelry using beads instead of gold, weave their garments, and grind mica with pigments and oil to make eyeshadow.

Leaves, roots and trees would be frequent design elements of early drag: with the eye-catching glamour of a dragon working to simultaneously distract detractors and seek out supporters. Heavy accessorizing and imagery of wealth would also be important to presenting Silkwings as equal to Hivewings, through metaphorical sense. The processes of creating Pantalan drag is what leads me to believe it would prosper best in jewel hive: outside of their relaxed rules and support of Silk/Hive equality, they would also have easiest access to craft materials, dyes and a lively art scene.. endorsed by Lady Jewel herself.

Just a few thoughts on drag. Thanks for asking this question! I was looking for a chance to spill and you gave it to me ( ´ ▽ ` ).｡ｏ♡
