Genshin treats me better
Not Genshin related but on a scale of 1-10 how much do y’all think this game likes me
Thought it was only appropriate as her number #1 Fan to post my design of her. If I don’t get more content for the best dragon lord (sorry Ajaw) in 5.5, I might lose it all. I didn’t know what to draw in the empty space so just put my little doodles Friday and Moth, ignore them <3.
Man, the quality isn’t the best, sorry about that
I KNOW KUKULKAN LOVED OCH-KAN I JUST HC HE DIDN’T KNOW WHAT TO DO WITH HIM AT FIRST
oh and Ixlel is definitely Xiuhcoatl’s favourite. Her city could rival the sacred city so there has to be some favouritism going on.
Take a wild guess at who rewatched the trailer for 5.5 and found the one and only Sage of the Stolen flame
It looks like a phlogiston projection so looks like we wont meet him head on yet… at least not at this part of the quest. (who does he think he is, like honestly 😭)
If you are part of it, post this in your blog
Rise Xiuhnation… RISE!!
(Made by @kajenus )
Day 3: livestream tomorrow (btw I have no idea why this one is so pixelated)
Ixlel was Xiuhcoatl's daughter. His youngest daughter, in fact. That's it. No I don't have even a smidgen of proof. Yes I just made that up. Yes I only want the angst of the draconic family drama.
"But doesn't that mean Ixlel was either Och-Kan's aunt or cousin, and you made a post speculating that Ixlel tried to bed-" This game already has half-sibling incest that resulted in a child (Parvezravan & Shirin. Another reminder that Gurabad lore is insane), so in the grand scheme of things, their "relationship" is incredibly tame. Ixlel didn't even bed him in the end! She just got abused and left to rot for an unknown period of time by Och-Kan😔
Okay, maybe there are proofs... but for now, I just want to cheer myself with the insane amount of family dramas the dragons have. Because damn are they hilarious and tragic at the same time.
Btw the post I meant is this:
wow i can draw :D
idk how to draw dolls but I think they look okay
remade that one golden kamuy scene but with team xbalanque reconsidering yupanqui as a team member after he didn't return to camp after 4 hours

The longer these chains bound her. Tightly keeping her within her stone-carved prison. Her memories corrupt on themselves, never-ending repetition of the past. When the Chronicler of the End Times must watch her own chronicle from her childhood to when the teal man skewered her heart with no ounce of guilt in his eyes. What Irony.
What had he done...Oh, in the name of the Sun, what has he become? That beast that he feared? Or perhaps even worse.
