STUBs! They’re a real thing being developed by the US Army. I thought it’d be fitting to add them into my world, utilizing graphene battery technology.
They come in standard sizes but are usually bigger than the consumer-grade batteries.
The batteries are available in standardized sizes for improved usability and greater interoperability among the equipment used throughout the Dragonguard. If a smaller battery size is needed than the S1 STUB type, a standard consumer-grade battery will be utilized.
They have their own sizes; check out the chart!

I’m not really counting this, but it was made during WorldEmber, so it got counted towards the word goal. Anyway, there was a prompt from a fellow Anvilite,
, “If I was a dragon…” and I had to write something for it. How could I not write something for such a prompt when my world is literally all about dragons? It would be blasphemous.I based it on Airigold, an Ancient onyx shadescale dragon with gilded scales and horns. I love the black and gold color scheme, so that’s why I chose this character for the prompt.
It was also slightly based on my gameplay from Day of Dragons; I like to help others out, especially hatchlings. I started off in the game with no help and died once because some prick adult was taking all the food and had a hard time finding water, so I personally know the hardships hatchlings go through. Especially the Shadow Scales; they had the hardest time killing the crab things for food.

Added at the last possible moment! A fellow Avilite,
, made a recipe book for a character in their world and was looking for recipes to add. I thought about a recipe I wanted to add to my world for a while, so in the last minutes of WorldEmber, I added a simple recipe for Pickled Green Tomatoes.I had them in late 2024 for the first time. I don’t believe my mom had made them before; we all loved them. She also made pickled diakon radishes too, which were also very good. I’ll have to add that recipe someday, too.
I won't post the recipe here, but you can check it out on the page!
