Secretly slip some dragon stomach into a bunch of diplomat’s foods, and just wait until the next congress meeting (or whatever equivalent there may be)
alright so ive since started on drawing my interpretation of the baleen dragons but while drawing it dawned on me that if they flew forever there was no way for them to get water, which got me to ponder. eventually i came up with something:the tiny flying creatures that the dragon feeds on are found all around the sky, but mostly hang around in medium size clouds, to drink from the moisture there and lay their spawn in the droplets, which attracts the larger and older dragons that are too large to just feed on the smaller swarms down below. the younger dragons only ever go up there to drink but as they get older they are seen devouring entire clouds for their moisture and airkrill, leading the steppe people (who're around them the most) to call dragons "cloudeaters" opposed to the more rural culture's "big flying thing idk". this association with eating clouds established that the god of sunrise and the god of clouds have a negative relationship and the god of sunrise, the trickster that he is, created dragons to eat the god of clouds' cattle (aka the clouds/krill). and although dragons are born red, the older ones are a deep shade of crimson from feeding on the tiny airkrill just like giant volcano flamingos. thats it i suppose
Me: Time to go to bed, big day tomorrow Worldbuilding Notes: Actually here's a new video, also now that you're hooked can I interest you in rewatching almost half my channel? Me: Oh ok, goodbye sleep
a good way to 'curse' someone using dragon stomache meat, is to force an entire village to eat some, so they have to all scatter and stay apart for as long as possible.
@@mme.veronica735 the implication seems to be the aspect that makes things go boom sticks with you indefinitely. probably a spiritual thing, but the cooler answer would be if it's in the carbon signature.
There are tribes on this world, who are completly dependent on dragons, similar to how some natives in America were dependent on buffalos. Every year, the strongest amd bravest warriors unite to take down the biggest and meanest dragon. Then the dragon's parts are divided equally between the tribes, from flesh, to bone, even the poop. Special care is taken to the stomach, as they know the power it holds. Each tribe receives a piece of the stomach, so none of them receive more power than the other. According to their tradition, the year starts when the dragon is killed, and all the resorces gotten will serve them for an entire year. Obviously, they use a calendar that's different from the more rural civilizations, and is divided in periods with names such as "salting of the dragon meat" or "tanning of the dragon skin". Finally, the year ends when the dragon stomaches near their "expiration date". They have a ceremony were the stomach pieces are brought near and people watch it like a fireworks show. Realistically, they would use dogs or horses to approach the pieces, the animals dying in the process, but I like to think they use really long sticks. The period between the end of a year (exploding of the stomaches) and the start of another (hunting of the dragon) is rarely more than a day. When it lasts more people treat it like a bad omen.
I stan this headcanon. I’ll bet they split off from the canyon people, and their culture evolved were completely independently of the windless zone folk until the nomadic herders made contact, and now they are sometimes trade.
coming to this comment super late but that end of the year ceremony where the stomachs are brought together could be this huge festival, and what you said about sending an animal to its death to watch the stomach explode could be akin to animal sacrifice in other older cultures. Maybe each tribe spends the latter half of the year selecting a horse that will run in a sacrificial race at the end of the festival. They could put bags of powdered dye representing each clan on the horse’s saddle around the dragon stomach, so that when it eventually blows up the dye will create a large colored cloud, adding to the festivities but also signifying which clan will be blessed by their god for the next year depending on who’s blows up first. It’s this clan’s responsibility to slay the next dragon for the coming year.
Imagine feeding it to animals too. Sneak into the enemy camp and slip some dragon stomach into their horse feed. Next time they go to attack your camp their main form of locomotion (horse) is severely hampered.
Wait. So the leather isn't just light but makes stuff lighter. Could something wrapped in a lot of dragon leather get a negative mass? That would be interesting. Also I love the way she says stomach
I figure that since the leather itself doesn’t act like it has negative mass afaik it moreso like takes an exponentially diminishing percentage of the item’s weight rather than like, being “””buoyant””” for lack of a better term?
This dragon leather gave me some inspiration about materials, like if a world had materials and resources that don't necessarily follow physics the same way. I've never thought about doing that before.
Those explosions are good for precisely synchronising clocks across long distances. They don't seem like a practical way of solving the Longitude Problem though, except maybe for static colonies. I guess those people will have to invent accurate clocks for finding the longitude of vehicles, like we did.
I don't know exactly why, but filter feeder dragons just really captivate me. It must be because dragons are usually a symbol of terrifying power, so we tend not to associate 'gentle giant' filter feeders with them.
"Don't eat the dragon stomach!" "What's gonna happen, am I gonna blow up?" "No, worse! It'll go right to your thighs!" "...My thighs?" "And then you blow up!"
Technically, the dragon stomach should end up in your feces eventually if it doesn't go off in a short time when consumed. So you'd just ending up with exploding sh*t lol. Imagine every few years the sewers just detonate due to all the eaten dragon stomach. That would make up for much more interesting and hilarious plot.
May I ask, first what sort of wings the baleen dragons have because I can't quite tell from the angles of your dragons? And second, do the mass-negating properties of the dragon-leather only act at the level of the whole dragon or down at the atomic level? Because that latter option allows for faster than light travel, and that just seems really cool, imo. (Really hoping that the baleen dragons do not suffer as much in the sail wagon times as baleen whales did in our sailing ship era. They seem like Happy Peaceful bois.)
@@hoominbeeing feathers are lighter than air but if i wrap myself in feathers i can't float. it has to have negative mass to make things lighter than they are
@@zyaicob feathers... are not lighter than air..? I think you misunderstand how feathers work. They merely aren't very heavy, and have a large surface area. This means that the friction from air molecules slows them down significantly. like a sail. Helium is lighter than air, and it certainly does not have negative mass.
Sooo... I was revisiting some of your old videos, you used to work on a webcomic , would you please tell the title and where to read it, it looked Gorgeous.

I’m curious about the lifecycle of dragons in the spindle world? In your original video you mentioned dragons being spawned from volcanos and I’m wondering if this is them literally spawning from lava via magic or just that dragons breed in volcanoes and only emerge once their old enough to fly? Also curious to see what these flying microorganisms the dragons feed on is as well.
That last point is rather horrifying. Could make for an elaborate murder plot.
Sounds like suicide bombing to me

So the dragon boats are literally the Minecraft flying boat glitch
I will say it once again: *Suicidal Dragon-Meat Hitmen.*
Love that video and concept!
the dragon stomach seems a terrifying way to destroy enemies. You cut a part. Wait for the right time. Eat it. And out of sudden, you are a human bomb
Imagine feeding it to animals too. Sneak into the enemy camp and slip some dragon stomach into their horse feed.

I'm bad at animal anatomy, so I don't really understand those wings myself either 😅
@@WorldbuildingNotes Fair, honestly. Wings are hard to design.
I don't think it has negative mass; it's just lighter than air. Helium and hydrogen allows things to be "lighter" yet don't have negative mass.

So the dragon hearts could be used as a type of curse on people, either as an ancient punishment or a religion sacrifice. Also I love ur videos

Dragons are spawned from the lava explosion of dead dragons
Wait...dragons you say...
I suspect the trade in dragon stomachs will be banned eventually
Ooh...Entanglement! I should've thought of that.

I wonder what the most abuseable use there is for dragon stomach...
I think a lot depends on if there's any way to tell when it will explode
