Draconic Summit Spring 2023

Can everyone hear it ok?

Ah, it's basically just started

We've never watched this one yet despite owning it for years. wtf was with the dad just trying to sweep mom's death under the rug

The '80s, when "Punch 'em" was the solution to everything

1:39 am

"No, boy, this book isn't safe. It's called 'Ready Player One'... you don't want this"

1:44 am

wow, i didn't know Dwayne Johnson was in this movie

Awwww poor snail dude he got hit with a rock ;;W;;

yummy rock

never had an inkling to lick rocks

"The Ivory Tower" is that where Azaphaer got his dragon server name from? Lol

1:48 am

Also damn that is a fast snail

to use a rhymey pun... a schnell snail

(Luunaathh)

"The Ivory Tower" is that where Azaphaer got his dragon server name from? Lol

An Ivory Tower is actually a dictionary phrase. Common term that's often used (edited)

SPOILER

i'm surprised someone named their server that; the term is often used as an insult (edited)

1:53 am

...why does he have a nipple on his head

Ah, I see

1:53 am

Also I'm not sure... lol

I like the fiction-in-fiction setup of this movie

everybody is a nutcase to them hehe

Not to be film-snobby but I like when older fantasy movies like this would use actual sets & costumes like that; if this movie were made today, almost everything in that frame would be CGI. Which can still work, when done well, but, there's a charm to doing it like this, makes it feel more like a lived-in world (edited)

1

Ah yes, the magic amulet

practical effects age better than CGI, but they get away with paying animators less than other film artists :/ something to do with unions I think (edited)

Also I agree on the practical effects, it will always be better than cgi in my opinion.

1:58 am

The first howling and an american werewolf in london had some absolutely amazing practical effects. They hold up much better than most cgi nowadays.

looked like chupa cabra

Aww, horsey

yea, pretty hossie

from what I can remember, the horse talks in the original book

only ever seen this once, sure is a lot I forgot about it

(•Luunaathh•) ↩️

Reply to: Ah yes, the magic amulet

oh yea, this place... makes the Atchafalaya look like a picnic

I would sink in that swamp of sadness immediately, lmao.

2:02 am

Noooooo horsey

You can tell it's no CG because they gotta cut that part out xD

kids movies in the '80s did not fuck around

actually crying over a horse who was on screen for all of five minutes

there there

(there were rumours for a while that the horse actually died IRL filming that scene, but the movie's director has said they're not true, the horse was okay) (edited)

:)

From the character's POV though the horse was his friend for years

that would be sadly creepy, Xylanth

But I digress xD

2:07 am

The fourth wall starts cracking.

Morla plural

he's like Siveth... talks to 'imself

Nihilistic turtle

more jaded than me... pretty bad

Jam yourself in one nostril, plug the other one, then let them sneeze you all the way there

lol

Doppel... LOL

2:12 am

the little mousy wants you to finish the book

i wonder why nobody in Bastian's school is reacting to hearing multiple screams from that room

what

FALCOR

it's a noodle

Magic Noodle?

!!!!

puppydragon

boop the snoot

Looks very boop-able

oh, forgot about the pearlescentness

That face

tell him you just needed to go to the bathroom hehe

-wink-

XD

wonder if he's cousins with Wish dragon

1

Those nostrils are huge.

2:17 am

The way the nose moves/twitches lol

those 2 remind me of grandma and grandpa a bit

That perspective trick

dragons fly over gates >>;=)

Like I'm subconsciously trying to figure it out

oh guk that needle meeeeeeeeeps

system walks up to the second gate, whole crowd looks back at them

instant species euphoria

1

Voxel(s)

system walks up to the second gate, whole crowd looks back at them

alternatively, you could find out who's fronting <- is frequently blurry

Extremely icy cold landscape

No jacket, no problem.

is this movie implying that Atreyu isn't human

A human child beyond Fantasia

~~I’m sorry but he’s giving us major worm on a string vibes when he flies lol~~

the ice is where I would have to sign out of that mission

"AAAAUUUUUUUGHHHHH"

that looked like Alaska that last bit

doggo paw print <3

"I can't find my luck dragon" the worse case scenario.

wow, '80s family movies got dark sometimes

bad luck dragon

I want to boop the dog

I just joined in I'm so confused-

mood

looks around in the real world Uh-oh...

2:46 am

Probably expected too much for a dog fight scene xD

2:50 am

nom

2:51 am

Weh???

secret surveillance

OH DAMN

2:54 am

Not only it's a fourth wall break beyond the book, they also reference the people watching the movie

I love this

(the name he called out was "Moonchild", if you couldn't hear it, there)

at least it's shiny sand

I don't really like incomplete subtitles

that is a little bit of an issue, yea

We highly recommend reading the novel this is based on. The movie only covers the first half of it.

Wasn't there a second film?

was there?

Doppel

Wasn't there a second film?

I haven't read the book, but, from what I understand, the second movie apparently deviates from the book rather heavily, IIRC (edited)

This is so cute

There was also a third movie, too. ...but you don't have to watch that one ><

(edited)

Awwr,,,

This movie is pretty cool.

yea, rather a classic... never saw it back when it was new though

Might scoop up the novel when I clear my backlog

(the third movie is really bad and is only really notable because the villain of that one is played by Jack Black in one of his first film roles)

saw it first time what... 2 or 3 yrs ago maybe?

Thanks very much @Nova [☆] Dergs for the movie

1

didn't know there were other movies of these, hmm

Yeah ty very much for playing it!!!

yes, thanks Nova

'84... knew it was back there somewhere

3:04 am

would be nice to be a fledgling again

Thanks guys! See you all tomorrow

Thanks everyone!! Have a great rest of you night! See ya tomorrow!

Nope, just had to kick the bucket a round a little for it to be rung out.

Oh, there definitely are.

Absolutely none.

do you mean nerds about dragons, or, like, dragons who are nerds

oh, maybe it's my river in China (Yulong [⽟龍=Jade Dragon] River)... a river apparently with MANY mini-summits

Xylanth

do you mean nerds about dragons, or, like, dragons who are nerds

dragons who are nerds about dragons

we'd never do such a thing looks for his sophistication monacle

i just had a thought... they're all named after a prt of the dragon... and my mind is like, ...imagine if this crossed over with Dragonball, then would that mean...

1:51 am

he's like, "Wait, I'm a parent in a Disney movie... welp, guess it's my time"

HOW MUCH DID I MISS

HOW MUCH DID I MISS

The prologue with how the kingdom got like this, basically ><

ohh righty

Have you seen this before?

nope

1st time here too

1:54 am

shipwrecks always have treasure >>:=)

1:57 am

knocked you on your duff, my bad! LOOOOOOOOOOOOOL

it's Awkwafina derg

1

oh goodness, the dragon is... a tad off kilter hehe

oop, the screen froze and went black

the dragon turned into a human, movie bad now /j (edited)

damn this lag

Seems to be occasionally freezing for me, but it gets moving again a little bit later

oh yea, I forgot. People can't handle us

The subtitles seem to have disappeared

that goes 2× for babies

Aaaaa how long left of movtie

I think CC is broken LOL

The subtitles seem to be from a completely different part of the movie now ><

"I am sincerely asking you.." GRUNTS

don't know what was up with the subs, we removed them for now

when you come out to your friend and then the other friend who already knew be like

I still wonder if it might have been better had Raya not threw the sword (edited)

Agreed.

LMAO

Ditto, Sisu, ditto.

the running on water magic kept breaking my immersion XD /lh

hmmm... that was better than I was figuring

1

tysm!!

3:06 am

that was a good movie

it has its shortcomings, but well, it’s still nice

1

thanks Nova offers wingedy hugs

and I love more representation for different sort of dragons in media

Ah, darn, I missed the movie. Just got back in from washing the car

Sisu looks plumb soft a dragon

3:07 am

aww Drak

maybe we could have the movie playing again some other time in another event

1

much as I enjoy dragony stuff, there is an aspect of it that makes it difficult at the same time... you guys suffer from that?

1

Ryuu | 夢化竜

and I love more representation for different sort of dragons in media

I was happy that it wasnt a "dragon bad! must kill!" like the stereotype is. The first time i watched it, i was somewhat annoyed, as i figured Sisu would discover her actual power during the story, because "i'm a really stronger swimmer" seemed... like a red herring, literary wise, then got annoyed this did not happen. However, i've since then i've revised my thoughts and come to quite enjoy that her power really is nothing we'd think of as "special". It's just... quintessentially her.

1

that longing... you know?

3:12 am

aside this, I Am Dragon was the last one I dealt with those feelings

KeystoneDarkJade

much as I enjoy dragony stuff, there is an aspect of it that makes it difficult at the same time... you guys suffer from that?

Yup. I suffer from gender dysphoria episodes during trans-based movies more than my species dysphoria in dragon movies. Mostly because my species dysphoria can at least be held at arms length, with no valid way forward (as far as i consider it) to progress. My gender dyshporia hits harder purely due to me knowing i can do something about it, but do not have the access to do so.

1

but yeah, but at the same time I focus on the joy I feel of resonance. the flying, the freedom, the magic

1

1

I've only seen the movie once but I gotta say I really liked it overall. It did make me cry though... and Sisu... I wanna be friends with Sisu. She's so pure and sweet, but also understands the responsibilities and power she has (or at least, by the end of the movie she does)

1

Drakmanka

RIGHT?! Such the biggest crush on Sisu. She's so adorable.

@Dragonne if it helps... try to find contentment in the how you are... we have as we feel to be, but... tough as it is, I find we have to make the most out of what we do have right now

[{Adel}]

yuh

every now and then, i get these intrusive thoughts about being a dragon irl and how genuinely hard it'd be

1

oh definitely, with the world as dangerous as it is simply for being different invisibly

[{Adel}]

seinfeld music

seinfeld voice "And whaaaaaat is the deeeeeeeal with long dragons? Why are they so long?" (edited)

2

I guess at least, places like here... we can be how we feel around each other and to an extent, live a little bit of that...

2

Oh oof, yes. Every time I've gone through that thought experiment I've realized that best case scenario still sees me getting poached by some rednecks.

long dragons couldn't be called long if they weren't long, eh?

1

"why the long face?"

*wiggles long-ass dragon self*

yea, rednecks would see us as food meep and I'm smack dab in pickup truck country

3:17 am

let's all tell the world we're poisonous to eat, just in case we wake up ourselves

[{Adel}]

every now and then, i get these intrusive thoughts about being a dragon irl and how genuinely hard it'd be

I think IRL transformation would go pretty well! Don't listen to people saying rednecks would shoot you, that'd still be murder! People understand they shouldn't shoot intelligent lifeforms!

KeystoneDarkJade

Yeah, not to mention you'd probably be able to shrug off most shots depending on how tougb your scales are and your size

Rakeela

I think IRL transformation would go pretty well! Don't listen to people saying rednecks would shoot you, that'd still be murder! People understand they shouldn't shoot intelligent lifeforms!

I love your optimism, but I suspect some would still at least try... but hopefully it would only be one, or a few of us, who would be hurt by them before some sort of protected sanctuary would be set up for us.

don't be a pufferfish, dolphins would try to nibble on you to get high

2

I'm like 90% sure my scales could deflect most lower-gauge bullets and shotgun rounds, but some of the larger calibers would hurt/kill me.

I don't think there'd be a sanctuary. I think dragons would still be expected to fit into society. Don't quit your dayjob just 'cause you turned into a dragon.

Fiadh

Yeah, not to mention you'd probably be able to shrug off most shots depending on how tougb your scales are and your size

I mean, I have zero scales. and there are those that are tiny

*straps a school bus to my back and flies the children to and from school*

lightning fast ubering

Yeah true

Rakeela

I don't think there'd be a sanctuary. I think dragons would still be expected to fit into society. Don't quit your dayjob just 'cause you turned into a dragon.

fuuuuu capitalism eats everyone, even when you are a dragon

till we start fishing out the gold hehe

i was gonna say, "why would someone eat dragons, we probably wouldn't taste very good anyway" then realized someone would probably try to make derg burgers anyway just to say they did and then my internet-poisoned brain is like, "derg burgers... hamdergers... skinner voice 'No, I said steamed drags! That's what I call hamdergers!'" (edited)

ok someone might make a market selling of their shedding

maybe our watery friends can help us devise the secrets to pulling gold from salt water

I'd just disappear far to the north honestly, I've always wanted to live somewhere cold anyways

KeystoneDarkJade

@Dragonne if it helps... try to find contentment in the how you are... we have as we feel to be, but... tough as it is, I find we have to make the most out of what we do have right now

I've not been able to achieve such. I do as well as i'm able, considering my experiences, but sometimes it's more healthly to simply accept one cannot achieve certain things, than to have hope burn a hole in one's pocket. (no, seriously, when i finally covered the basics of my life's trauma, one of my therapist genuinely questioned how i'm still sane. LOTS of zen and self introspection.)

I have heard of some, come to think of it

I wonder what dragon-me tastes like now dragonthonk

Drakmanka

i taste like fish

3:23 am

for sure

hopefully the presence of others can help you deal with things Dragonne... I like to think we all are for moral support of each other (as all the world should be, honestly)

I once heard on radio of someone selling their… (gross body stuff) dead skin and dandruff and what not so, imagine, selling your old antler, or fin pieces, or baby fang

[{Adel}]

i taste like fish

a very, very hard to chew fish

[{Adel}]

every now and then, i get these intrusive thoughts about being a dragon irl and how genuinely hard it'd be

Ditto. I'm well aware that i would not survive my transformation if my magical abilities could not immediately come with me. Well, technically i would survive the transformation, not being transformed. But i'd die extremely happy in the moments before i lost the ability to breathe. (edited)

what a shameful waste for there to be harm of one another... it's hard to see happen among the peoples even

Dragonne

I'm imagining how people now make "dragon scale eggs" on Etsy and such but with scale-shaped pieces of metal. Only now they're making jewelry and all sorts of art stuff using real dragon scales

it’s not that bad really, it’s kinda just like any creature meeting each other knowing the other you know, how other being sees us and interacts with us

long as they are excess scales and not ones from... a living one still using them...

1

Oh yeah, definitely shed scales.

KeystoneDarkJade

long as they are excess scales and not ones from... a living one still using them...

now that’s the scary part. because that’s the type we need to watch out for

My species shed scales like humans shed hair. About six to twenty a day depending on the time of year.

In the #photo-nest i posted of myself, if you look carefully, you can see one!

greed is a terrible beast, Drak.. I would have concerns what it could turn into

2

No need to farm me for scales, just follow me around with a net!

KeystoneDarkJade

long as they are excess scales and not ones from... a living one still using them...

Thankfully my species does a full shed periodically!

Dragonne

Thankfully my species does a full shed periodically!

Oh that sounds really interesting, and a little alarming tbh. My species shed and regrew scales fairly quickly, so a shed scale was usually only missing for a couple days. It'd be kinda strange to just be in my skin lol

Drakmanka

My species shed scales like humans shed hair. About six to twenty a day depending on the time of year.

Geeze. My family would be horrified if that were true for me! 60 is definitely not close to the amount of hair i shed per day!

as far as i'm aware, i don't think i shed

Dragonne

Geeze. My family would be horrified if that were true for me! 60 is definitely not close to the amount of hair i shed per day!

lol well to be fair, I have a shitton of hair and I shed a lot. Ten hairs a day is the average for my scalp. But I have way over the average number of hairs for a human.

I shed a ton, but people are used to shedding fur creatures

but i do know one thing about one of my kinsonas, and it isn't exactly 'shedding' but rather the opposite in a way

you pick up fur wherever you go?

he has a special case where when the temperature changes slightly, his body secretes a thin candlewax-like substance from underneath each of his scales that runs down tiny grooves keeping them cold and firm but when it gets too hot, the candlewax-like substance evaporates meaning he is unable to cool down

SAME! Lots of hair, and shed like a short-hair dog. Expect i dont have short hair. I have a large amount of baby-fine hair, and shed something like 100+ strands per day. (And yes, this is homeostasis for my hair, as this is actually slightly less than my natural growth rate.)

Oh, wow that is a lot! Mine are super thick, like you can literally cut cheese with just three strands of the stuff. (soft cheese that is, not parmesan or something)

cutting cheese with dragon hair is, that sounds interesting dragnthink

I'm from the Deep South, the "boot" of Louisiana, and i have the reverse issue. I deal with heat FAR better than i humanly should. This is in part due to the fact i cannot easily retain bodyheat. So this also means i'm very sensitive to the cold, and can lose enough body heat to begin hypothermia, if not careful, at "normal" temps (60-70f, 15-21c) for most people.

fascinating.

I'm with you on that Dragonne. <60° and I'm plumb cold

the lowest i've ever gone through without feeling the least bit cold is 2 degrees celsius

I have a coworker like this. She served in Afganistan when she was in the military and now her ability to deal with the cold is broken.

2C makes my paws hurt

[{Adel}]

the lowest i've ever gone through without feeling the least bit cold is 2 degrees celsius

I'm not joking, the highest temp at which i've remarked about being cold at is above 90f/32c.

WHUH

Drakmanka

I have a coworker like this. She served in Afganistan when she was in the military and now her ability to deal with the cold is broken.

Oh! a sister of mine was deployed there! (she didn't handle the heat well, though. thankfully she was comms.)

how can 90 be cold?

3:49 am

of course, 90 here means the heat index is around 100-105

I'm honestly the opposite these days. If it's over 50F outside be prepared for me to shed my jacket and grumble about it being too warm. I melt if it's over 75F.

I do too, probably surprisingly for how I lived in El Paso for over half my life Some of the most miserable days I've ever had was when our AC broke, which happened at least once a summer past a point

Dragonne

I'm not joking, the highest temp at which i've remarked about being cold at is above 90f/32c.

there was this one time, when i was sitting in class and i looked at the temperature like "WHAT? THERE'S NO WAY IT'S 32 DEGREES OUTSIDE" but it felt like 22 when we were outdoors

KeystoneDarkJade

of course, 90 here means the heat index is around 100-105

Around the same for me. Answer: that day was particularly dry, and so the heat index was around the actual temp. This came as a sudden shift from the previous day's heat index of near 120f. So to me, it was cold, a 30 degree (relative) difference.

4:17 am

Related note: One year in NOLA Pride, there was a horrible heat wave. It was so bad (index over 120, no clouds, very humid) that nobody on the grounds was even able to complete setting up stalls to get shade up for everybody else. Luck would have it, i have enough rudimentary heat stress training to recognize and help people out initially. So i worked with the first responders, who i actually drove down there with, to "tag-and-bag" those who are not yet aware they are about to suffer heat stroke. (this is ridiculously common in an area where it's the #1 reason for death 6 months out of the year, every year.) I did this as i only had my skirt, a light tank top rolled up, so i had most of my body exposed for heat release. But due to the fact i was one of the very few who were functional in the heat and sun, i started going around and helping people complete their stalls, to get everybody in the shade. I probably set up half the grounds basically solo, while also running for water and letting the first responders know of cases. (edited)

Rrrwwr!!!

one of your heads looks to be a having a glitch in the matrix there

He's just really excited

OK, I have a PIC from Connecticut I have to share given tonight's movie (will put it in photo nest)

I can't hear the movie

1:31 am

Wait, never mind

are you deafened?

1:31 am

H

Had the audio output on my Discord set wrong ><

Definitely nice to be watching this again, saw it in theaters for a birthday celebration when it came out and I remember liking it

this is a sequel to the 2014 Godzilla, of you're wondering what they're talking about

1:33 am

but Godzilla is weirdly barely in that one

Yeah

yeah you don't really need to have seen the previous one to know what's going on in this one

Somehow even the MUTO got more focuse which was unfortunate because the MUTO was like

1:33 am

Kinda boring

I'm glad the directors actually listened when people said they wanted more monster action and less people.

breakfast au flambé, how French

We also have the new godzilla vs kong and really liked it

Same

we need more dragon movies

I've never seen that one, I really do need to watch more of the Godzilla movies

I've actually never seen this one before

Godzilla vs Kong is epic, I've watched that movie 20 times

I've only seen 2014 and this

but this one has Ghidorah in it

Gonna join muted, I'll chat here

haven't seen Ghidorah one, should be cool... the dragon that looks good on the hood of a late 70s Firebird

The really got the action ratio right in godzilla vs kong, this one is a little slow in the beginning, but picks up quick enough

"Please return the egg"

Monarch logo looks like Waitr hehe

Yeah and when it picks up it really picks up

Worst. Take your kid to work day. Ever.

bah, always got to have cabrones busting in gunz blazin and messing stuff up

Mmmmmmm yum, prawns

Like, they're there just so the audience knows why the monsters are fighting and what's at stake & all

This has less of the humans than 2014 but it's still a bit high on the human stuff end of the human stuff to monster action ratio (edited)

an intimidation display for a very -inviting- display >>;=)

this sure is some dialogue

Classic "Room full of people who have been studying this creature for untold years but are total idiots compared to random dude brought in for plot reasons" scene

Godzilla had a bus to catch

Godzilla felt a disturbance in the Force and said "aw hell naw"

<Godzilla later> waves paw this is not the massive creature you are looking for

1

HYDRAHYDRAHYDRAHYDRA

awww, pretty dragon

AAAAAAAAAA

ah yes the one allowed use of fuck

Huge dragon,,,,,

damn ghidorah is so cool though

I'd be like "hey buddy!!! how about that beer?"

probably no coincidence that my favorite fromsoft boss has a ton of similarities to him hkjhgklfhjlk

Nova TOTALLY didn't inform us of being IN the movie

"Let's fly away from the flying-y thing, what could go wrong?"

I'm sure it's fine

Is it weird that the only human character I care about at this point is the kid?

No not really

2:12 am

Everyone else is either boring or Emma

godzilla all "I'MA FIRIN MAH LAZER"

Godzilla: oops

movie: "Anyway, here are some more of the humans. If you have to, like, go to the bathroom, or anything, now's your chance, you won't miss much"

1

Humans: She pulled that trigger Other humans: No she didn't, she wouldn't! Narrator: She did, in fact, pull that trigger Plot: because I demanded it.

odd to call a place an "isla" when it's awfully inland

Yeah lmao

2:19 am

oh right she's like actually one of the worst villains ever, goes ecofascist after godzilla 2014 because "well we needed SOMEONE to unleash ghidorah"

I like how villains who hate the bad things bad humans have done put that on the genuinely good people of the world.

2:20 am

Like... you're doing the same thing the bad people you hate so much do.

Please shut up, white woman

"Bad humans bad... so humans bad?"

"i couldn't be more sane" lol, lmao even

1

Ultimate karen

2

"I plan on releasing gargantuan monsters to fight the human infection, I can't possibly be more sane than that."

I guess she didn't see Pacific Rim. The humans will just build giant robots to punch the gargantuan monsters in the face!

GIANT FIREY BIRD

I wonder how Rodan got locked in that volcano in the first place.

Probably seemed comfortable or something I guess

food, fight or fffffffffffffff... something more intimate LOL

"A food a fight or f- (wait we already used our permitted Fuck. Fuck!)" (edited)

"yeah let's just shoot normal missiles at this giant monster that always works"

yea, no more Fs can be given hehe

1

Drakmanka

"A food a fight or f- (wait we already used our permitted Fuck. Fuck!)" (edited)

PG-13 only allows 1 non-sexual "fuck", they still wouldn't have allowed it there anyway

2:28 am

In PG-13, they can't say "they're gonna fuck", but they can say "they're gonna have fucking sex" (edited)

poor birdie

Yeesh, what a lame rule. Fuck is Fuck, no matter the context guys.

This can only go well

go get em Nova

do you think that pilot ejected because he wanted to escape or because he's just hardcore into vore and realized he'd never get a better chance than this

2

Xylanth

In PG-13, they can't say "they're gonna fuck", but they can say "they're gonna have fucking sex" (edited)

That's so hilariously abitrary

1

"Oh, well, no one saw that failing spectacularly... except the audience."

I wonder what happens if Rhodan falls into water

Uuuuuhhh you can pull up noooowwwww

Boiling a considerable amount of the surrounding water depending on how high its body temperature is

Or maybe it's like Charmander?

Damn Rodan got crucified

dragons are at their best when they're capable of shooting lasers tbh

2:32 am

it will not in fact kill them because there's still like at least an hour left

3

Nah, it'll just "accidentally" kill a bunch of NPC- I mean humans

2:33 am

OSHA is gonna have a field day with these guys

Rare crossover between OSHA and The Hague incoming

~~brb dinner~~

he just does not care lmao

Nova back in business

i love how the tongue was the first thing to form

LOL

I really like how this movie depicts Ghidorah more than anything else so far on this rewatch

1

auto-mlem

giant enemy crab?

how long is the movies still?

1 more hour

1

I watched GoT, the king dies >>:=p

1

MHTORAA

The lean bean arises!

this is by far the best scene

wow almost like trying to break ghidorah out of the ice because balance was a bad idea, holy hell this human villain

we are NOT invasive species GRRRRRR. Them's fightin words

is this entire part of this really based on that wolf pseudoscience,

back mit burger

2

this pacing is kinda rough entirely because of the human parts being boring and (in a bad way) corny

biblically accurate mothra

2:48 am

(seriously, the visuals there make it look like Mothra literally just descended from Heaven)

Yeah

I have yet seen any tropical storm or hurricane force winds

Yeah, "category 6" my ass

been through a few storms, it tends to get breeze and VERY wet

sub go brrrrr

random hollow earth because ???

Earth is light and airy, who knew?

2:55 am

how many times did scenes have to be redone because Nova was groaning too loud in the background? >>;=)

1

"My god.." "Zilla.."

okay regardless of story context making a japaanese character do this feels a bit

3:01 am

uh,

yeah ><

yeah

i never even thought about that

He's also, like the only non white american in the cast-

besides the black army lady, what is she? A general or something?

making godzilla a jesus allegory was a decision too

oof

a jesus allegory?

Godzilla be like "Hey that is unwanted physical contact!!"

3:05 am

Holy smokes what was the megaton rating on that nuke???

they had tsar bomba 2 just laying around i guess

1

"YOU"

"I'm back, bitches!"

3:07 am

moe larry and curly

That guy seems to be trying really hard to channel Christopher Lee...

GHIDORAGHIDORAGHIDORAGHIDORA

"Lightning so concentrated it's basically a laser" has to be the coolest dragon breath ever

Honestly thought for a second there that her scream was gonna be what made it back off, but I guess Godzilla makes more sense lol

The fact they keep thinking shooting the monsters is going to do much to even slow them down,

oh yeah the hollow earth thing is a major plot pt in the next movie

YAY MOTHRAAAAAAA

LEAN BEAN TITAN (edited)

NOOOOOO MOTHRAAAAAAAAAA

Nooooo Rodan stop

This kid has the best plot armor and I'm very glad for it

Yeah lmao

3:18 am

Probably because they'd get in omega trouble if they showed a child dying especially in a movie that's supposed to be PG-13

ppl are close to major radiation but they are fine

1

Ghidorah is like definitely consistently the best part of this movie

Plot armor

Yeah that part is like a bit much even with suspension of disbelief

KeystoneDarkJade

ppl are close to major radiation but they are fine

these are not the movies you go to for accurate science, they just did the hollow earth thing earlier (edited)

They'll just take some radiation therapy from Star Trek later and be fine

3:21 am

Bath tubs save lives!

and I thought our armor was good >>:=p

Hey there's worse places to hide in than a bathtub

that bathtub must be made of diamond or something

Wtf was that bathtub made of though it didn't even crack

Plot armor

3:22 am

pure, unadulterated, plot armor

government plastic... the stuff scissors and box cutters come in that you can't open to get the thing to open it with to get to it

1

Godzilla getting dunked from orbit like that is so silly but in a good way

It is!

Feeling more emotional about Mothra rn than all the hoomans who got smushed

I've never seen this part of the movie

Ah yes, a very delicate and highly specialized piece of electronics equipment, fixed in 30 seconds with some MacGyvering and a makeshift soldering iron

3:25 am

"Oh no not again"

she does one (1) kinda good thing and now watch as the movie tries to absolve her later (edited)

Well her shoes are still on so she ain't done yet

spicy godzilla

Well not for much longer if Godzilla's melting buildings

Godzilla: "I been holding this one in all movie, time to let 'er rip!"

dragon... meeeeeps

Okay I will say my opinion on this soured a bit on this rewarch but the monster stuff was at least fun

Reminds me of the older ones, but with better special effects. Silly human side plot for filler between monster duke-outs.

Basically lol

3:32 am

Love the Ghidorah design

Same

3:33 am

Ghidorah was definitely the best part of the movie

I liked when there was uh ghidorah

I'd never known about Ghidorah before but that is one awesome hydra

ghi door a

thanks for sharing another one, Nova

3:34 am

hope they didn't hurt you filming that

3

Ghidorah is our fav!! This movie is the reason we have a hydra linktype (and are the Discount Ghidorah system)

3:35 am

they are a rare type of dragon to see about indeed

Thank you for playing ittt!!!!

(edited)

I definitely need to watch more of the Godzilla movies, particularly probably more of the Ghidorah ones and Shin Godzilla

3:35 am

Also yeah thanks

Yes, many thanks! I didn't get to see all of it, ran off to get dinner, but it was a fun little romp

Group watches are always fun like this

3

Agreed!

I wish hydra type dragons like this were more common because the only other notable one I've really seen is Dragonlord Placidusax (who only has two heads, though he had four but the other two are gone)

I feel like media avoids hydras because they're tricky to animate. This movie did a fantastic job with it though.

Yeah absolutely

and they require 3× pay for their roles

2

There was one in the old Quest for Camelot movie, can't remember their names atm

3:39 am

which our family has the vhs of, but that won't help us stream it

I really like Godzilla, but had to root for Ghidora in this one

There was, of all things, an episode of I Love Lucy that had a two-headed dragon in it where they just stuck two actors in a huge (and frankly really cool, for the time period and budget) dragon suit and did them up with makeup to give their faces scales and whatnot. It was of course tongue-in-cheek, but cute.

Fiadh

I wish hydra type dragons like this were more common because the only other notable one I've really seen is Dragonlord Placidusax (who only has two heads, though he had four but the other two are gone)

Oh yeah and also Hydreigon but that barely counts since the other heads basically become glorified hand puppets

find a RWY to HDMI connector to go from VCR to comp? LOL

3:40 am

or DragonHeart on laserdisc hehe

1

We definitely want to try and find dragonheart

~~*still needs to see DragonHeart all the way through properly*~~

everybody left too soon hehe

bonus scene bonus scene

Nova [☆] Dergs

We definitely want to try and find dragonheart

I have all the Dragonheart movies

2

I picked up all 5 DHs from WalMart, but there's always Amz

3:42 am

Siveth is hydralike... talks to 'erself

Nova [☆] Dergs

We definitely want to try and find dragonheart

i've watched all of the dragonheart movies, i just need to watch Eragon

[{Adel}]

i've watched all of the dragonheart movies, i just need to watch Eragon

...you don't need to watch Eragon too badly

We've been meaning to go to our local media thrift store to see what they got

Eragon is up there with The Last Airbender on movies I won't willingly watch.

Last time we picked up something called Dragon's Pearl and Dragons: Fire and Ice, but haven't watched them yet to know if they're any good

Xylanth

...you don't need to watch Eragon too badly

i've been wanting to watch it for a while actually

Drakmanka

Eragon is up there with The Last Airbender on movies I won't willingly watch.

Yeah it seems like a similar quality adaptation though probably less personally insulting to me considering ATLA is one of my favorite pieces of media period

Eragon prob better if you never ever read the book, Saphira was quite lovely though rrrruurrrrrrr

Fiadh

Yeah it seems like a similar quality adaptation though probably less personally insulting to me considering ATLA is one of my favorite pieces of media period

Same. There is no movie in Ba-Sing-Se

I still suggest I Am Dragon to folks who've not seen that, although that seems to have to be ordered online as stores seem to not carry it (possibly due to the Russia thing)

It looks like amazon's got it on their prime

cool

I'm so excited for this one you don't even know

Will be there in a second, about to fight something in FFXIV

Wow you actually have the DVD of the movie. xD

YOU BET I DO

I love this

1:31 am

I mean, I know it's a fake documentary

1:31 am

But yeah I like (edited)

Wait I remember having a random book from a thrift store based on this movie when I was younger, and wanting to watch it for years- (edited)

that totally doesn't look like Montana LOL

Millions of years would do that

Why does this kinda sound like warcraft background music-

It was the Mid-2000's. :P

2005 it was good for the time

man, it was THAT long ago already?

1:33 am

crap I'm getting old meeps

yep. x,..,x

we watched it when it was on tv

Same

Nova [☆] Dergs

2005 it was good for the time

Also, it's a made-for-TV movie, so they're working with a TV show budget here, not a full theatrical movie one

Idr if I watched this or not even though I like

Mr Rex, there is a new king in town (like last night but dragon wins this time)

Loved watching Animal Planet back in the mid 2000s when I was really young

you can technically still hunt w/o flying, but broke wing... oh my owwwww

Yeah,

Fiadh

Loved watching Animal Planet back in the mid 2000s when I was really young

In particular I LOVED the Steve Irwin stuff

1:36 am

He was definitely a huge inspiration for me wanting to work with animals

1:37 am

i'd say "I'm still mad about dragons" but well

1:37 am

i am one

careful, Steve'll be trying to figure out if you're a boy or girl dragon hehe

Young me took this doc very seriously

Yes

1:39 am

I wrote about it for a school paper and failed XDDDD

1:39 am

Whoops!

you had a horrible teacher Doppel, that much is obvious

I don't think I caught watchjing it because if I did then I probably would remember it because watching Animal Planet was like

Well to be fair I had no internet at the time, so I thought everything from Discovery was actually real lmao

Very formative for me

I feel so young here; this movie is a year older than me xd

this is some weird music

this is so 2000s tv i love it

2

Yeah

I wonder if this got an HD/Blu-Ray version

young Skye. Guess you missed it 1st time around then

Since it's from 2004 I don't think they like ever rerarn it because the earliest I have the vaguest memories of are going back to 2006 or so?

I wanna say it do, Doppel.. I could be wrong, but think I seen it on Amz searching "dragon" on there

Nope, not HD

Yeah I missed it lol; I wanted to watch this so bad though bc I found the book version at a thrift store XD

Getting the DVD version anyway to add to my collection xD

my first thought is "how did that ice not melt" because i somehow didn't realize it was plastic

1:45 am

even though it literally looks like plastic

1:45 am

<- smart

bet your booty we can fly

Rwrr

All the computers on TV has to make that high pitched blip xD

This has taken a dark turn

this is some very 2004 cg for this though

bumblebees aren't supposed to fly either, so...

I'd have to search for it again, but I swear I saw a complete YT version of this movie floating around

@Nova [☆] Dergs I know.. meeeeeps poor little feller....

KeystoneDarkJade

bumblebees aren't supposed to fly either, so...

That's a myth, science actually does know how bumblebees fly

Very plasticky

be funny if those would've busted on fire when he pulled it out

even with that it was still enough to squick me a little bit

-gag-

the dark turn.... darkens....

at least it can't get worse--

1:50 am

whoops

1:50 am

spoke too soon

Nova. have you met people? it can always get worse...

those are some long ass legs

Lost track of time and almost missed da movie

forgot about all this winghides

I think I've seen this once before... I think

why does the main scientist guy look like they're wearing a chainmail shirt

3

nowdays they'd clone it and eventually it's going to break out the lab

jurassic park but dragons

KeystoneDarkJade

nowdays they'd clone it and eventually it's going to break out the lab

I'd watch that movie

of course, with the rex and other soft tissue they been finding, probably are trying that somewhere

: de extinction with non dinos is something that people are trying (edited)

1

I mean, don't we all secretly want to bring back dinos? No matter how bad an idea it is in all reality?

a little

jaw opener breaks and teeth comes down on the dude's arm hehe

1:58 am

bitten by dead dragon, would be tough to explain down at the E.R.

1

Man I was like "omg these graphics are so realistic" when I first saw it xD

I mean, it does hold up decently considering how long ago it came out

True...

These are pretty impressive for 2004 TV CG admittedly but haven't aged the best

3

mmmmmm... platinum

tastey metal

2:04 am

platinum does also seem like one of the best tasting metals though

I've not licked a platinum Eagle I'm afraid

I've never had much of a taste for metals myself, although I have to admit nickel smells tasty...

Kinda wish this body was more accepting of eating metal/crystals because I've had an odd fixation on doing so for a while

Ag smells nice

We're right here smh

3

2:06 am

Oh yeah didn't that meteor possibly land in the gulf of mexico?

1

yea, that meteor, big sucker

Yeah probably

2:07 am

The Chicxulub crater is believed to be where it hit (edited)

1

Yeah they've found what they think is the impact crater

hello Fineas

1

Ooh that's cool, I mean it makes sense looking at a map of the world lmao

"The dragon family had a cousin; it's name was Fineas the Fabulous Finny Finniest the Most Majestic of Sea Flip-Flaps"

4

7

3

FINNY

Leviathan, essentially

noodl <3

even the Bible says Leviathan has fire, so... yea...

2

2:11 am

waiting for somebody to say "clever girl" in those trees

dwaggy wanna porkchop?

that pig will never know what hit him

Oh not at all what I was expecting lol

2:14 am

I was expecting another breath weapon or something

come here kittykittykitty

now we know what a dragon pspspspsps-ing sounds like

3

xD

2:16 am

noms

2:16 am

Well, that sure is a rather literal interpretation of grabbing a tiger by the tail...

3

quite a few of us are living

2:19 am

7 is you count tail

uh, insect

insects aren't vertebrates tho (edited)

time to make insectoid dragon with ten legs and three sets of wings

2

brb dinner

oh my Ryuu shudder that actually sounds slightly creepy, but... still curious

slightly creepy? is that a challenge?

1

"what kind of devil were you" she was probably an angel smh

yea, not all our people are devilish or grrrrtastic

the flashbang cut is making me laugh and idk why

Oh god is the twist that colonialism killed us all-

Oh stars it is-

people got greedy and wanted our shinies

;V;

"dragons are why humans discovered fire" is an unusually funny theory though

and why in Asia, they came up with chopsticks (akin to talon-eating)

Those mountains are giving me major kinfeels

1

Aaa yeah, I wish I could fly around those,,,

As an ice wyvern, yeah same here

why the heck is this guy thinking every dragon breathes fire???

I definitely do too, even outside of being a dragon I definitely do have a heavy draw for mountains considering a lot of my Pokemon kintypes are from the mountainous Sinnoh/Hisui region

Well in this simulation, yeah they all breathe fire x3

that's ppl for you Ryuu... some do thus they all must do kinda thing

unfortunately very fair

poor gal needs to eat a sandwich

~~the pokemon reference XD~~

Found it! https://youtu.be/NYY5ksNCjCY

Wildgirl65

Dragons: a fantasy made real (Animal Planet version)

1

I’m still trying to wrap my head around the fact that they spend all these effort making this

Yeah there's a ton of effort put into this

what is gloves -this guy (edited)

right!

This is only one of the fake documentaries they made on fantasy creatures, we know there's a mermaid one too (edited)

I'MSORRYWHAT

yeah why is this dude digging through this with his bare hands

professional ™️

I zoned out for a moment and came back to.... uh-

2:37 am

Something

This got real weird real fast

and what proper and dignified dragon leaves such a mess INSIDE their home?

2

2:37 am

use the local village for that

1

2:38 am

where there's an African dragon, there's a dragon with Egyptian gold >>;=)

This scene was pretty frigging memorable

How are his hands not freezing off holy fuck

2:40 am

Bare hands in a glacier

course my internet messes up during the lovey dovey scene

"dragon chicks"

2:41 am

lol

Nova [☆] Dergs pinned a message to this channel. 20/3/2023 2:42 am

that means they must be girls Doppel

2:42 am

oh, he's gonna hear it when he comes in the door

hands you a rock

Rocks > food

that "rock" better be a diamond, drake

Yeah, idk how I feel about a chunk of granite versus food though

2:43 am

gotta be real shiny

they don't understand the nuzzly and snuggly aspect of our people I don't think

yeah

378°, that should be about right

@orbit da dragon Mute your mic please.

so sorry!

Howie Long scream jumpscare

awwww

Do we know why he has an earpiece? drgnjoy

this is going down a dark hole.. I feel it

this hurts my heart :( hearing about our kin going extinct :((

yes Orbit... meeeeeeeeeeeeep and a youngling...

I uh- Might look away for a bit

2:56 am

This is a little too much for me

I really don't blame you this is definitely hitting hard

2:56 am

Especially as a dragon who's likely from a snowy mountain environment as well

poor mom... ....

At least these guys got what they had coming, holy hell

Yeah it's just causing too many kin emotions right now,,

That's the slightest bit of solace

Good good

we feel loss like y'all wouldn't believe...

2:58 am

winghides

cheesy

forgot how rough this got... gnaws on a talon

Eeech, yeah this is rough

yeah,

3:03 am

This is definitely proving to be

3:03 am

Intense,

t'is a classic

rrrrh,,

Every time I wish this movie ended differently dragnsob

difficult as Sintel if anybody's seen that (15min short film)

Or I wish they made the (finale spoilers) sequel they teased at the ending of this one.

okay now to finally read those wof graphic novels turtle linked me for something less bleak-

You should!!!!

3:07 am

Hope you enjoy themm

fan-based or official?

Official

"One year later."

Back

The end.

this is the most 2004 music ever

the weird music is growing on us

wow that was fun!

interesting Fiadh.. I've not read the books at all I fear, though

And the implied sequel was never made xD

3:08 am

Sad, really

I haven't either but I think they're a good intro if they were linked to me?

neither was Spaceballs: The Search for More Money, Doppel

That was- supprisingly really good all the way except from the end there

Yeah

3:09 am

Fun watch that aside

Also SO 2000s

2

Thanks for showing this one again!

wow y'all... still meeps quietly from that glad we could share this weekend though

Yeah definitely same

3:10 am

I loved this time

Anyway thank you for the experience this weekend!

Thanks for hosting that!

That was fun, even if I did miss a good chunk of it having dinner

Yeah thank you very much for it!!

hope to keep up with y'all in Spire. and tough as it was... thanks for hosting again, Nova

2

And thank you so much for such a lovely weekend

I'll likely be active in the Spire since I've learned quickly that this circle feels safe for me

1

I look forward to seeing and chatting with y'all in the Spire

awwww Fiadh, how sweet

2

Thanks everyone!
