Fusion Brainstorming Meme
Just click the link to watch the video and learn all about the wonderful world of gem fusion!
So go! Talk about all the fun, awesome,
Just copy the code below to get started!! Or don't and be a rebel, who cares let's talk FUSIONS!

What's supposed to be going on here:
- Four-armed fusion wearing the damn thing; the torso is kind of elongated, partially to accommodate the four arms, partially to make the whole thing look a little more...dragony. Because eastern dragons are longcats.
- The entire battlesuit is the weapon, but it has a few components. First is the helmetarmor thing on the head, which extends way out past the fusion's actual face, and is also very bulky to give the impression of the fusion having way broader and bulkier shoulders than it actually does.
- Four wolverine-style clawed gauntlets get the gauntlet + sword aspect in there.
- The wings are Walter's obligatory finwingthings. They might not actually be part of the suit, idk. There's four of them.
- Also it can...generate...fire, around itself, sort of and in bursts. I found a pretty convenient connection, in that Megaten's take on Huang Long has a big mane made out of what appears to be fog, light, or fire depending on who's coloring the art - the thing I drew draws on that design for all the directly dragony features, including a mane that is also fire, WHICH IS VERY CONVENIENT
- The suit's "tail" is actually kind of a flat cape tail instead of a tail tail. It has trim on the end that is more of the fire mane stuff, to give the impression of a tail tuft.
- Wherever there's armor, the plates come together like the grooves on Ember Celica (neck, arms, legs), complete with the black lines but I didn't get that far.
- The flexible parts like the capetail and probably the pants things bear a carp/dragon scale pattern.
- I have no clue what's going on with the torso but it's probably not covered by the battlesuit so whatever's there clothes-wise is the fusion's actual default outfit.

I love the inspiration it takes from Huang Long and other eastern dragons because yep, they are long cats. And I really like the fin-wing things too! It actually kinda gives it the seahorse look I was joking about earlier but in a leafy seadragon/Glauert's seadragon sort of way. It's so pretty! 8D
Did you have an idea for a potential gem for them? I thought perhaps Aragonite might be interesting
and because it's one letter off from Dragonitebut they've got a lot of different gem qualities to pull from!no subject
/googles agate
Okay, so, staying within agate relatives would be fitting, because quartz = punching things.
Petoskey stones are agatized coral and the name they're derived from means "rising sun".
Blaaarf there's a couple of really cool and gorgeous red-orange agate varieties associated with water features but they have boring names like "Lake Superior stone" and "Patuxent River stone"
Fulgurite is a cool concept but lightning isn't quite fire and also it looks like a poop.
....Lechatelierite is similarly produced by the melting of quartz sand at REALLY UNCOMFORTABLY HIGH TEMPERATURES, often as a result of meteorites (falling stars). It looks less like a poop. Downside: I do not know how to pronounce that.
Trinitite is even more metal, being the result of sand melted by nuclear bomb tests. It does not look at all like a poop and is actually rather pretty. There's a slightly more yellow version available though that being an example of trinitite is very mmineralogically dubious but haha this is RP who cares.
