Just as a reminder that I DID move my Feylands art over here!
Hiya!
this is an Art and Lore blog about a Mythological-centric continent called The Feylands. This Continent is filled with mythological creatures living their day to day lives!
This world has several sentient species—Dragons and their subtypes, Griffins and Phoenixes— living on the land- in Caves and cliffs, Woodlands and plains. This blog is all about these species adaptations to the world they live in, their culture and religion, and even their magic systems!
Each species will have their own tag below for easier sorting, and further sorting will be done once the world expands even more on here.
Thanks for visiting! (Updated Profile Picture and Wall art soon!)
Draconic will cover all of the dragon types!
>>>Dragons tags will be linked here
>>>Drakes
>>>Wyverns tags will be linked here
>>>Raptors tags will be linked here
Griffins tags will be linked here
Phoenixes tags will be linked here

Love a woman with a tail. Something she can betray her emotions with, something to dress up in fun little accessories, and something I can grab during... heh, well, you know.
I made an acc for fic/art ideas if anyone’s interested! Just thought I’d post here just incase. It’s @hare-brained-schemes
Ey look we got a new showrunner for the WoF show. Waltke is primarily known for working on shows like Trollhunters and whatnot as well as story development on Transformers One. Neato methinks

Cool comic person reblogged a friends work!!

Just started act 5 of ISAT and
STARS IN TIME MENTION!!!
Impulsively decided to get In Stars and Time. I know absolutely nothing about this game other than there being a timeloop mechanic, it's an RPG(?), and that not an insignificant amount of my mutuals are fans (or at least way more familiar) with this game. I wonder what'll happen
Solei Thornbright, Guild leader of the Mageis!
Deservedly smug because he’s quite talented in his field.
Under cut things!
He’s a hybrid, with a drake mother and raptor father and the only successful egg in the clutch. Giving him his long figure and odd toes. And back issues. He can walk on all fours, but he prefers to have his hands free.
His tattoos were primarily done by him, as well as his father along his back.
PUT SOME CLOTHES ON
I was going to do the one big image I had of the, but it was blurry so here’s a bunch of smaller ones
Here’s the big one btw:
Food and culture ideas! Notes under the cut
A majority of food comes from the ocean and shallow waters of their home world. Large-scale hunting is done on a smaller scale, ever since larger communities moved to shallower, warmer waters when civilizations began to rise. Any food items that require an ingredient from a deep sea animal is usually a delicacy.
Anything that isn't eaten fresh is preserved in a glazed ceramic vessel or sealed in a plastic-like packaging made from seaweed. Bowls and drinking cups are typically made from bone, shells, or carved stone.
Soups tend to be sent with away agents because that is one of the easier ways to make sure that daily nutritional goals are being met, while it is not often eaten on the planet itself. Large pieces of meat and fish, along with most other cultural staples, are difficult to store long-term and aren't sent with away teams.
Mantises of various kinds
Recommendations for societies with mixed halfling/human races follow. The average halfling is assumed, from demographic estimates, to weigh 30 pounds (14 kg) and stand approximately 3 feet (1 meter) tall.
All public places where people are expected to be seated need a mix of regular/small seating. Ideally, all chairs and tables will be adjustable, but this comes with cost considerations.
All doors must be accessible for people of all sizes. This presents a challenge for doorknobs and door handles, and the recommendation is a long vertical bar accessible for both, along with low "minimum force" levels for opening and closing. Problems with locking mechanisms remain, and while floor bolts are height-neutral, they're more suited to secondary locking mechanisms.
All restaurants, cafeterias, and vending machines should stock two differently sized portions. The average halfling consumes roughly a third the amount of food as a human. Because of various frictions (packaging, labor), prices are expected to be more than one third for a halfling portion. Because of this, it's best to have systems in place that allow splitting human-sized dishes, or bringing home leftovers, or making packages resealable.
Housing presents a serious problem. A single-family dwelling for a halfling family requires roughly one fifth the volume as for a single-family human dwelling, though costs do not scale down at the same rate. However, if built to halfling scale, the interior of the dwelling will only be accessible to halflings, which presents serious problems for e.g. police, firefighters, social workers, repairmen, or anyone else who might have cause to go into the interior of the home, to say nothing of friends and coworkers. Building for halfling scale is attractive for a variety of reasons, with cost being one of the biggest, but this might result in de facto segregation, and puts considerable strain on civic infrastructure and city markets due to duplication. Another social concern is that all interactions might, by default, take place inside human homes which have worse accommodations for halflings. Special note should also be made of mixed-species couples, who suffer extra burdens within the household. These problems are intractable, as some trade-off must always be made.
Tools, household goods, and clothing are naturally split into two markets. For clothing, near-complete segregation is expected. For everything else, partial segregation is expected: a halfling cannot effectively use many human tools due to differences in grip strength and grip circumference, to say nothing of brute strength. However, many consumables can suit both species, and it's expected that cost reduction efforts will inevitably result in a single offering for both in cases where that makes remotely makes sense. Purchases using refillable containers from bulk are encouraged, as each person can determine what's best to fulfill their own needs.
Due to lower costs (housing, food, clothing), halflings can in theory work for lower wages. For certain jobs, particularly those requiring physical strength, humans are more capable on average, and for others, particularly those requiring manual dexterity, halflings are more capable on average. For jobs which do not have significant differences, wage discrimination is recommended by contentious, and is an ongoing conversation.
There are a number of "segregationist forces" in society, driven by convenience, culture, and market forces. Once segregation has become, there is every expectation that it will snowball: a neighborhood which is inaccessible to humans will have businesses that cater only to halflings, and once halfling business is concentrated, any "mixed" business has less incentive to cater to halflings. Legislation can counterbalance these forces by requiring that all businesses be able to service both humans and halflings, and accommodate both human and halfling services, but this admittedly comes at enormous cost.
Overall, there are certain recommendations that are nearly costless and can be implemented as best practices immediately, and more complicated, costly reforms that will take significant political will and budgetary consideration. Beyond that, there are questions of social engineering and the level to which it is important or preferable that these things be done.
Been a while since I posted an update in my fic here. here is a update on my fuc here,, i guess,..
