Draconity [11/07/2022]

[1min read]

I do not consider my draconity as “as instinctual” as my therianthropy. While my therianthropy is composed of things I have not particularly chosen, that I simply describe through those words, my draconity is more something that came to me through life. I was a child obsessed with dragons, and wyverns or other winged beasts talked to me due to my strange experiences. Therefore, the bird and the dragon are one same thing, just seen through two angles. I would not have been a dragon had I not been “raised” as one in a way.

I have described myself as many things and depicted myself as many things. My draconity is malleable, and I can change it to my fancy. It is more akin to a very embodied character, a persona of sorts. Currently, I tend to describe myself as a cockatrice and/or a basilisk. In both case, what I mean is an avian beast with some serpent traits. I favor medieval looking dragons and old fantasy depictions more than the very quadrupedal and “mammalian bodied”, for lack of a better word, DnD depictions.

Many of the things I associate with being draconic are things I actively choose to engage in. I hoard metal trinkets and other things I may fancy. Many depictions of dragons are chimeric, so by my nature of being a bird-chimera with a sapient mind, I find myself relating to these myths. I enjoy collecting dragon themed things. I own more of those than I own bird-themed objects, since in birds, I’m mainly interested by roadrunner themed objects, of which there are few. I own many dragon books, and enjoy engaging in as much media as I can that involve dragons. I enjoy being associated to dragons. Sometimes, I like being called a dragon.

My fursona, an anthropomorphic animal character I depict myself through, is a roadrunner cockatrice, with various level of bird-like to dragon-like. In general, I have drawn many, many dragons, and they are one of my favorite subjects to draw.
