@ShineOfDuality Now we have a basis to work our feelings off of to respond in a responsible manner. With that knowledge, I feel sorry for using a snake’s name and eliciting a response from your trauma.

My two cents (that do not matter) as someone who grew up with cotton mouths? Just get a stick, man. Like, you can see it right there. You can hear it, too. If you’re so scared of it, move it twenty feet away. It’s not a threat until you become the threat first.

@just_guy48280 I could eat that.

for americans, imagine 6 burgers

@ShineOfDuality What I think I’m trying to say is I don’t know who you are. I’ve never seen your name before.

@ShineOfDuality How am I supposed to know- You know what? Never mind. Maybe I should take time to read the history books of Pantala.

@ShineOfDuality Doesn’t every SilkWing in existence have good reason to jump? Just like the IceWings and NightWings afraid of Darkstalker? Maybe I am desensitized to the horrible names in history. Or I just like the snake too much to let it tear at me.

@ShineOfDuality That’s not to say I’m NOT angry at them. I still hate everything about their mere existence. I’m just not angry at the name.

@ShineOfDuality Oh, right. Haven’t they been dead for a really long time by the time you even existed? Even I’m not that angry about them.

@ShineOfDuality I don’t know why you’re growling. I think they’re adorable little guys.

@ChiChrysalis Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

@ShineOfDuality Cotton mouth. It’s a nickname for water moccasins because the insides of their mouths are white as cotton.

@ChiChrysalis Cotton...... whats...........

@ShineOfDuality Now you’re making it sound like you- Right. You’re some kind of deity. You probably have that thing in your head buzzing about it all. Just don’t take all the glamour, okay? Leave some stories for the rest of the pool.

@ChiChrysalis It's okay man! I got it handled. Mostly. And the collapse is like faaaarrrr away in the multiverse so there's a chance that it won't even affect this realm.

Chrysalis’ known (NightWing) family tree Whisperwind/Peacefulwish - mother Dweller - father Antiquity; Dweller, Jr. - younger brothers Dealmaker - paternal uncle Tonesetter - paternal aunt Sunny - maternal aunt (plus her family) And more that aren’t known!

@ShineOfDuality Probably. We’ll be long dead before that happens. We hope. And hopefully our fried can help prevent such a catastrophic collapse! Haha! We’re so happy she has more to do!

@ChiChrysalis Uh, probably the collapse of existence itself or something. But I wouldn't worry about it too much.

@ShineOfDuality We’re not saying it’s a bad thing! Just… We aren’t sure what to make of it. What does the future hold that could require so much intervention? And why?

@ChiChrysalis Well, the reason I am immortal is that I straight up became deity. Twice. I have a very weird life man, I try to ignore that fact and just act normal.

@ShineOfDuality Maybe it’s just us, but it feels increasingly common that dragons are just outright cursed with immortality these days. We’ve met three in the past week alone, plus our friend. Plus the stories of Darkstalker. That’s, like, five that we know of. What a large number of immortals.

@ChiChrysalis Oh, it just heals wounds, it does not reverse aging. We wouldn't want anyone suffer the same fate I do.

@ShineOfDuality Preventing keeping dragons alive forever. If they heal anything, they can heal the side effects of aging. That means keeping dragons “young” forever. Doesn’t that sound just a bit cruel to you?

@ChiChrysalis Prevent... what, from happening?

@ShineOfDuality Oh, right. You carry the same problem we do: not fitting into time the right way. Maybe we are just a bit jaded, but magic fruit that heals everyone… Ah, how useful that would have been. Even if it feels uniquely abuseable. We hope her intents prevent that from happening.

@ChiChrysalis and she also made a semi-physical floating cloud for a disabled SkyWing. And as for heritage... I dunno, if I kept looking all over it, it would just give me a headache, I just know some of the heritage of my queen mom and some of my wife.

@Munchable_Tail It’s up to you. At the end of the day, we’ll continue to wake up smiling. So if it gets the weight of your past off of your shoulders, share as many emotions as you want.

@ChiChrysalis Maybe... Sure you sadified or would you like to relive more of my sad times?

Wtf... WTF!!!

@Munchable_Tail We can only repeat ourselves… How horrifying… We can only hope they got what they deserved. Their share of the pain and misery. And maybe a bit extra as their flesh burns down in the ground.

@ChiChrysalis "They hand you by your hind legs," he puts a claw to a line of faded feathers on his neck "-and cut open your throat so you bleed out. You feel the stabbing, electric tingle and dull buzz travel to your neck as you taste and smell your own blood, and then your body just gives."

@Munchable_Tail How horrifying. We’ve heard of some petty queens, but this… we’re sorry that the most we can say is sorry for your trauma. If only pettiness wasn’t an excuse to be a loser.

@ChiChrysalis I was sent out, by Queen Diamante, to arrange peace with the northern Water Drake kingdom... I came home branded as a traitor. Not because I was, but because She couldn't be able to see her daughter happy... Happy with me- a happy she always yearned for.

@Munchable_Tail So like that time… Scary to think how close to death we were then! Haha! But we live, we learn, and we move on. How about your execution? Why did they do it? Better yet, who?

@ChiChrysalis Remind me of what it feels like when you sleep- a deep sleep. One where you don't know when you closed your eyes but only remember waking up and feeling strange, only time has passed. That is what it is like. It just ends... Heh, and you don't wake up.
