Saw this text post and thought of them

YAY!🥳🐉

Well, I figured that since now I have a bunch of little dragon headshots from my previous post on Fury genetics, I might as well have a little fun with them.

So I pulled up some RNGs to simulate the likelihoods of [insert trait here] and got rollin’. Consider this a practical application of the theoretical percentages in my previous post.

Traits I rolled for were sex, eye color, scale color, and spikes/fin. For any bicolor I also rolled to see if it would be mostly-white (represented by Pouncer’s face), mostly-black (represented by Ruffrunner’s), or roughly 50-50 (represented by the generic bicolor). This result did not affect their offspring; I just thought it would be a fun way to add more pizzazz to the chart since not all bicolors will have the same patterns, as we can see from the original trio.

Each descendant was given a clutch of 3 to keep things consistent, though of course irl they could’ve had more or less than that, or laid multiple clutches or none at all.

Each was also assumed to be breeding with a pure Light Fury, though I left the portraits off for the sake of saving space. 

Here are the initial results:

I quickly realized that I wasn’t going to be able to get through as many generations as I’d like to due to crowding, so I started a second version focused solely on the bicolor lines. Once again, each dragon was assumed be be breeding with a pure Light Fury, and was given a clutch of 3. If they appear to have only one or two offspring, it’s because the other one or two rolled white. Here’s what that looked like:

Between these two charts I rolled a total of 22 BW+WW breedings. Out of those 22:

1 produced an all-white clutch, 10 produced one bicolor, two white, 10 produced two bicolor, one white, and 1 produced an all-bicolor clutch.

…wow, kinda crazy how smoothly that math worked out lol

But this chart was starting to get crowded too, so I took some of the Night Lights from the bottom row to breed them together and see what would happen. Once again rolling clutches of 3, but this time giving the second generation randomly-rolled bicolors to breed with rather than Light Furies. Since I was working on a smaller scale this time I also included the whole rolled geno string, including a trait I wasn’t tracking before: the leg spikes/fins. Here’s how it went:

Wildly enough, this lineage managed to produce not one but two almost-Toothlesses, a pair of identical brothers. ladies and gentlemen, we gottem. the roller has blessed us with pseudo-Night Furies lol

oh fuck it’s disability pride month

shoutout to those with chronic illness, physical handicaps, genetic disorders (yo that’s me!!), paralyzed folks, amputees, people who were disabled in accidents, those who were born with their condition, those with mental disorders, those with ptsd, blind folks, deaf folks, people who use wheelchairs, those who have to lug around equipment or else they die (hey that’s me again) and people who have a whole shelf in their fridge or pantry dedicated to their meds. we are loud and beautiful and diverse and incredible. may we finally get the same rights as our abled counterparts

and may accessibility departments return our goddamn phone calls

I want there to be a movie made of this. Fr, that would be fucking amazing.

I lived in my very own version of the Truman show, but it was Disneyland Paris and whenever someone did something wrong they would become a talking object, like in Beauty and the Beast. The only food there were tiny packets of butter and there was a talking bird that was helping me escape.
