A few months ago I tried to track down the origin of this ADORABLE emote, and ran into dead ends and deleted discord threads. Ultimately I decided to re-create it in vector format so there's a high-quality version if anyone wants to use it.
Thanks to everyone who helped my search! If you do know the source, I'd love to credit them, and if they want me to remove this I will.
In #Korean#folklore and #mythology, dragons are often divine or potentially divine creatures and many #dragon tales revolve around them attaining godhood by ascending to the sky.
In a typically misogynistic take, it's said that a woman commenting on a dragon's ascent or even catching sight of it will frustrate the flight and send it plunging back to earth, where the former sky-dragon candidate becomes a yimugi or gangcheol (the equivalent Western terms may be wyrm, serpent, or wyvern) that harms people and agriculture.
On the flip side though, aren't these stories also testament to the power women have, that a nameless village woman merely LOOKING at a being on the cusp of heavenly power can drop it right back to the ground? Who would win: Dragonling rising to power over the skies and the weather, or one random bitch?
In a large lake in the south of #France once lived a giant blue water #dragon with shiny steel scales. The people who lived by this lake feared the dragon very much, because from time to time the Tarasque would come ashore and steal a virgin. Martha of Bethany is said to have tamed him with her singing. She led the #Tarasque to the village, where he was killed by the peasants. The town is still called #Tarascon in memory of this incident.

Daily sketch #10 - Dragon Flareon bean!
Starting a small project with all eeveelutions as a dragon beans - I hope you'll like them!
Starting with the fluffy, fire boy ^-^
Allez, je commence un nouveau projet d'aquarelle, sans doute inspiré par le film Creation of the Gods, qui a été diffusé 2 jours au ciné ce mois-ci.
Pour tout dire, je ne suis pas fan des dragons, ça a beaucoup trop d'écailles, ces bestiaux. Mais je vais faire un effort pour donner vie à l'image dans ma tête 😊
