Draconic Summit Autumn 2022 - draconic-memories-1

Dragon question, what is your favorite things about being dragon? Mine is being able to set quail on fire.

6:41 pm

All jokes aside though, I don’t really have a favorite thing about being draconic. I just exist and choose to experience “my life” (I’m not alive or dead) as I wish to.

Haha that's fair. I don't know what's ids say to be honest . I'm glad I exist as I am

Fishing is a strong feeling of mine. Diving down to grab a delicious dinner from a lake or the sea

For me, it's my born connection to the Sun element, that knowledge that within me is fire

I can't really say I have a favorite thing about being who I am. I've never thought of that to be honest.

Dragon question, what is your favorite things about being dragon? Mine is being able to set quail on fire.

My favorite part about being draconic is using my void powers to keep any and all quail away from you.

My other favorite part about being draconic is being able to take quail away from you when you’re not looking.

I am hypervigilant, especially if you're anywhere near a quail, you will never win.

We’ll see about that madarahi

Specific to dragons, I would say roaring, rawring, and similar. I particularly love the sounds we all make as dragons. <3 Not specific to dragons, flying, intellect and elemental affinities/abilities.

Dragon nuzzles and headbutts!

The best ones around swind_melt

Hmm...for me it's an overwhelming sense of self worth and all the unearned confidence!

A fancy way to say pride! But for me, it makes sense because as a dragon digimon our emotions and resolve are a big part of what allow us to gain power and evolve

I loved the freedom of being able to go where I like, when I like. The noises I make are definitely one of my favorite things; we would trill, chirp, roar, stuff like that

Hmmmm, I think it would be the feeling of confidence in myself, my abilities. I took it for granted as a dragon but now, realizing how, for lack of a better term, fragile and limited human bodies are, I would say just my physical and mental capabilities as a whole. I was so much more confident as a dragon. In every respect.

I’m certainly a being with endless confidence, though I keep to myself for the most part unless Luunaathh’sstrreiii really wants my being to interact. I would rather be in my own little corner alone with my quail.

That is a mood and very valid. Unfortunately, I am a pack animal at the moment and my mental health dictates I need a social life to keep it somewhat healthy qwq I Don't hate people, Don't get me wrong. I can genuinely really appreciate and love the people around me, I am just very introverted so I tend to feel the most comfortable when I am alone.

freedom and the physical power to protect with efficiency. Where instead of words and wits, I can win with battle and magic the fluidity of the physical form is not exactly a draconity thing, but it is what I-as-dragon is capable of. I wish I have that. This human body is just so, restricting, on everything

Human bodies really are so restricting... I wish we could at least run faster or have a tail.

Me this morning looking in the mirror?/hj I'm probably the minority in the community, but I'm enjoying my time in this world.

3:09 pm

My special features are dexterous little fingers to grab cool items we find on the ground, long legs and endurance for reaching shelves and hiking to said cool items.

I'm doing my best here, for sure... There's pros and cons... Just like being my non incarnated spirit self I don't know if I really hate my human body as much as I used to. Though It may be due to how many lives I've lived looking like one (for the most part). And mental health care. That too

3:11 pm

I will say I'm endlessly fascinated by the human psyche as well. The feature of The ocean here is also wonderfull. Biodiversity in general, really

Right on

New question to bring up the vibes for opening day: What's something positive about your experience in this life/on this world? I'm thinking like, is there something specific cool about the planet, the friends you've made, or things you're looking forward to experiencing? Nothings too big or small

Everything

It's all new and shiny, I get to learn all sorts of skills like art and tarot and make friends

Wolf conservation efforts... Learning biology... Coding... Though AL-AN is more interested in coding. I've been on earth more than once but... Things always change here for sure haha. New things. All the time

ohhh same I like dark chocolate

But for serious, in this life I have made close friends, I've seen the Pacific and Atlantic shores, I've seen mountains and lakes, rivers and forests, I've flown higher than I could as a dragon. Honestly, even with the trauma I've endured, I regret nothing about my human life

That’s good that you have been able to experience many good things in this life ^.=.^

Okay, real talk, if we do go through with the dragon zine project, what should be the contents of the first issue? peep

12:23 am

I’m not exactly sure how zines work to be honest, someone will have to enlighten my being on it

You could do different general themes or prompts for each issue and then have people write about their draconity and how it relates? Like Animal Quills-style

This is true!

12:31 am

In #panel-discussion-1 we were talking about peeps sharing their experiences and having them submitted in the zine.

12:32 am

Though yeah, prompts for those experiences would be a good idea!

if i were to participate in such a thing, i don't think i could write anything without being asked specific questions - very broad prompts like "tell us about your draconity" just don't work for me at all

I love the idea of a dragon zine. Would be happy to contribute if I can in the future. :>

Id love to contribute to a dragon zine!

I can’t put together digital things for the life of my being, so someone who does know how to edit things would have to take the torch.

12:44 am

I would be happy to put together writings and prompts for it though!

12:44 am

I can even contribute art

we could take preexisting alterhuman prompt and tweak it from there?

I'd love to contribute as well

same here heheh

We've made a few booklets and pamphlets in the past, hit us up if you need someone to format it

We’ll be sure to let you know. :)

3:52 am

Luunaathh’sstrreiii and I (if we decide to plan the zine) will probably commission others to make covers, dragons, and other drawings for the zine, and will do such for every issue. Luunaa is usually financially stable enough to get multiple commissions in a short amount of time.

3:53 am

We could allow advertisements in some pages of the magazine as well. A section for others to advertise their social media, blogs, or personal sites as well.

I might be able to contribute. I can’t make promises though.

I would also be happy to contribute

There was someone named Ulfrvif some years ago that ran Therian Nation. She made a therian zine/newsletter I can send to you as an example assuming I can find it!

I wrote down my first dragon dream. I tried to give it some story-feel, and a bit of prose. Not sure I succeeded. I had this dream almost 15 years ago when I first started to awaken as a dragon.

I don't have many visual memories, it's more the feelings and sensations that come through the veil of my consciousness. For example, that special feeling of flying, of feeling the pressure under the wings that you can sort of lie down in and then be carried by the air. Then the impulses that my wing itches and I want to scratch myself and can really feel very precisely the place where it just itches. It's like pressing yourself somewhere on the arm and you can immediately say "Yep, it's this and that spot". That's also how I experience it on the wings. When I'm out and about, I also sometimes have the visual impression of being able to see the tips of my wings in the corner of my eye, because they should be sticking out from my body into the field of vision. It is then almost like a kind of afterimage, difficult to describe.

11:19 am

My visual images sometimes come over me like a rush. Most of the time it is an image that is suddenly there with a tremendous intensity and then stirs me up emotionally, because as nice as it is to relive these moments, it is hard for me to let go of some things, to look ahead and enjoy life now. Nevertheless, I do not want to miss it, it determines who I am.

There is one distinct scenery that comes to my mind though. I cannot really say in what context this can be put in: And through the mist of fading consciousness I believed, I heard your voice. I whispered your name, but the wind of the night took your voice away.

I wrote it down couple of times and it make me feel really at unease

Sure you succeeded! What a beautiful dream.. lots of possible interpretations, I guess

Yeah it is wonderful. And I guess not every dream or every moment need to be analyzed or snipped into pieces or so. Some things are just nice as they are and it is good to have such nice experiences

3:29 pm

These important and beautiful moments of oneself should also be preserved. I also have a few such dreams and even years later I still benefit from them.

Totally! It's unfortunate that I tend to wake up too early when something interesting happens ..

Hmm. This one.. Don't wanna disturb, but this somehow reminds me of a deathbed scene. Someone with fading consciousness, trying to speak to someone, then night comes.. You get what I mean?

yeah I get it
