Ok, I get that I am being hypocritical because I draw a ton of uwu cute dragon stuff... and also, this doesn't apply to every dragon of course because some people do like to draw their dragons as basically big mythical cats which is 100% valid and ok.

BUT AHHHH NOELLE IS NOT A BIG CAT! SHE IS A DRAGON!!! A FIERCE DRAGON!!!! Don't demean the likes of dragons, they are their own seperate awesome thing, not just cats! >:(

I was debating whether or not to add the saliva ngl, you know the images of like snarling animals with spittle and stuff? I kinda wanted to draw that to make her look more fierce, but people can be very freaking weird if you add saliva to a dragon mouth :/ But ultimately I kinda just want to normalize like... growling dragons and spittle in an actual fierce normal way so I'm just gonna include it and hope that people won't be weird with it >-<

Suggestion: the tino rangatiratanga flag with blue instead of black, to signify non-Maori/tauiwi allyship. One without the Southern Cross, and one with it. The Julian Batchelors and Michael Laws of this world need not apply.

If the original designers of the TR flag can get in touch and provide a second opinion, they're welcome to do so.

Since Patch 42.2, when I press ESC during a game, the objectives no longer display. I've checked the game file integrity in Steam, and it reports as normal.
