“The two dragons from the Dragonlands of Equestria…”

… such a duo, right? I got a particular head-canon over what made Ember send of all dragons Smolder that I want to explore over (a case of a bad revenge plot, in some sense), but besides that, these two are pretty damn fun to watch whenever they’re in the spotlight. With one learning to know how to friendship and one learning to know how to friends- wait, let me say that over. With one leading an entire pack of dragons while enforcing a new thing called “friendship” and the other learning to fully understand friendship, I find it interesting how they handle the… thing (what is friendship in labeling such?). I enjoy Smolder’s sassy yet straight-the-point character with a little secret that I bet no one would expect (well, at least not as original as one would think, but how long will it take for you to say that there’s already a brash dragon who enjoys cute stuff? and Ember’s determination yet confusion among understanding new customs as a leader as well. Otherwise, great characters in a great show (that I will still occassionaly bash at because I enjoy it, unlike its counterpoint…).

Oh, and before you write it, I specifically wanted to focus on these two because of how they were born and raised in their homeland, sadly not applicable to the purple one. Maybe next time : p

also FIRST OFFICIAL PROJECT DONE IN DIGITAL!! wanted another digital project that is almost done to be up first but this is nice >:]

and yes, the text behind was inspired by Beastars… and apparently it looks similar to vol. 20’s cover, holy. ugh. welp, it is what it is.

Fun Fact: Spider bites aren’t usually harmful, but some bites may cause the occasiion reddening, swelling, and itchiness of the bitten skin, with only two main types of spiders known to do much more damage with its venom: the black widow and the brown recluse, spider.
