This is one of my most ambitious Stone Dragons, Opal Paradigm, from 2014. There are detail shots below the text block.

The drawing underlying this piece was originally designed as a window etching. It was never used for that purpose, alas; I now had a detailed drawing that I needed to put to some other use. I decided that I would make the most complicated Stone Dragon I'd ever attempted (after all, capturing opalescent effects takes some effort!).

While I haven't managed to capture a real "opal" effect yet, I did manage to get a nice iridescence that I really liked. Add to that the bold yellows and violets of dorsal ridge and belly scales, which were deliberately simple so as to let the body scales be in the spotlight.

I also wanted to try some mixed media techniques I hadn't used before. The gold outlining got the experimental treatment - I outlined wings, belly scales, tail, and some other bits in gold acrylic goop that I squeezed out of a nozzle-tipped bottle. The effect is somewhat like the lead outlines in stained glass. It was a long process, and I really haven't used it since (more's the pity; I really should). The only problem was that there were tiny bubbles in the paint that I didn't deal with before the paint dried. OOPS. I put tiny rhinestones over those bubbles, so the wings, particularly, sparkle.

The dragon and its background were colored with Prismacolor pencils. I added a boatload of acrylic shinies, acrylic pearls, and the afore-mentioned acrylic paint. On its head is a small Ethiopian opal. There are amazonite stones on its arms. There are rhodonite stones all along its belly. There are red jaspers on its tail fins. The black background has swirly black shinies worked throughout.

Here are the detail shots to showcase some of my favorite bits!

Is it the Year of the Dragon... or the Year of the Loong?

When I was a kid my teacher read a Chinese folk tale about a boy who goes on an adventure with a dragon.

Being young and rather blunt-minded I couldn't help wondering why the dragon didn't just breathe fire on the boy and eat him. That's what dragons do, right?

Except of course it wasn't a dragon. Not in the European sense. It was an East Asian dragon, which is an entirely different beast, known in China as a 龍 loong.

Rather than being the murderous, fire-breathing villains of European legend, loong are viewed much more positively. They are thought to bring good luck. They are often painted on the ceilings of Japanese temples as protection against fire.

Perhaps 2024 should be considered the Year of the Loong.

You can read more in this article in the Hong Kong news website The Standard.

Ive been informing on myself for awhile and following the community on and off sometimes and i see people being usually split on stuff such as traumagenic and endogenic systems and also people saying they can become plural (?).

Most of the community agrees endogenic systems arent a thing, whats your opinion on it?

In regards to someone becoming plural, people say they do it for religion which gets me sooo confused, i feel like they dont really know what being plural means but i might not know enough.

I have a huge interest in psychology especially towards the way trauma makes our brain react so im very curious about your opinion on this kind of stuff ":)

I see it as this--

DID is when your ability to have a cohesive whole never forms (traumagenic.) This is attributed to childhood trauma, neglect and/or instability. You do not have a proper ability to self regulate. You cannot accept experiences as having happened to "you". Your brain is in a constant dissociative fog, because it is all you learned how to cope.

DID is the dysregulation of the way we medically/scientifcally understand the way our brain organizes our 'self'.

Endogenic systems and plurality, then, come from a different angle. It is the dysregulation of the societal and cultural definition of 'self.' This is why the identities in plurality are so important and focused on; What "identity" means is far more personal. I do not think it is a good thing, mind; it's still a dysregulation. It is just a dysregulation of how you see yourself and your emotions. I see it most commonly in those with gender dysphoria or who are neurodivergent (A study of 600+ college students with autism revealed that many have identity disturbances due to masking, early trauma, ect)

DID requires intense therapy to 'cure' (to varying success and no widely accepted treatment method) and can cause actual damage in the brain. It is life-long. Plurality, however, can be temporary if one's feelings towards themselves and how they present can reach cohesion again, no therapy needed. Sometimes people identify as plural during the time they begin to understand themselves because it brings them an easier time in accepting all parts of themselves.

Both are valid, and I don't like gatekeeping. The human experience is vast and DID cannot exist in a vacuum - other disorders can cause identity disturbances, too. It's best to just be kind - people are just trying to be comfortable with themselves at the end of the day and it's no one's job to police that. The "truth" or "reality" of their lived experience is between them, loved ones and mental health professionals.

Question: Are you happy with the powers given to each of the miraculous or would you change any? You can either just name the power (and if needed, explain how it works) or you can also say why you changed it.
