oh yeah, turns out the bestiary website has context notes
according to medieval manuscripts,
dragons and elephants are mortal enemies, dragons are beasts of fire, so when elephants are in water, dragons can't do anything
dragons also hate the shadow of the fictitious peridexion tree
kill man with their poison not with fangs or claws,
can have a second head on the tail,
wings are common but optional,
and are the only beast afraid of panthers

@goaty great time to remind everyone that sign language has different accents too :3c
writing a 1k fic: takes hours and hours, lots of editing, doubt, worry
writing a 2k art guide because I wanted to give context to my list of learning art links pdf I made the other day: blasted through the copy in an hour, minimal editing, feeling fairly confident about it
OTL I would have never seen myself being better at writing guides than fiction but here I am lol
