really bad anti-animus stamp

Published:

Description

I hate how the white text sort of blends in with the BG :noes:
the words say "it's not that your OC is inherently bad, but animus OCs are way overused."

drew a generic red eyed NightWing
also, this pretains to Wings of Fire, so if you don't know about it, read the booksss

rant below: plus spoilers!!

last time I checked, animus dragons were pretty uncommon. next thing I know, there are sooo many just EVERYWHERE (especially instagram. don't even bother to look at that fandom, oh lord) I mean, most dragons don't even believe animus dragons exist. Somehow the prescence of magic-bearing dragons in Pyrrhia turned into a free-for-all to make an overpowered OC???

And 65% of the animus dragons "don't go insane". Just because Stonemover found a way to stay sane, doesn't mean every other animus gets a free pass. That insanity there? That is the only way to keep the characters well-rounded. Don't try to tell me that isn't a fair exchange, animus can enchant PRETTY MUCH EVERYTHING. Anemone got a spear to find a dragon she couldn't even identify herself, they can enter other dragon's dreams, make an entire palace collapse, build a palace out of rocks, get free food from a fox, enchant a statue, make a mirror that can see any dragon that has a name, make portals across Pyrrhia, etc etc ETC ETC

and people just overpass it like it's nothing

and the terrible 40% of animus dragons are some type of hybrid

I've even seen hybrids of ALL THE TRIBE TOGETHER

is that even biologically possible? I know there are some crazy AUs out there and some people headcanon Pyrrhia as more high tech than it looks, but honestly those are rather far-fetched. NightWings haven't even discovered glass (*cough* to protect their eyes from RainWing venom?) so how do they have fancy science stuff to make a 7-tribe hybrid? It just doesn't make sense

So there's my anger put into the form of words
on animus OCs
