A koi swimming upstream symbolizes a long struggling battle in one's life, fighting the current to reach it's goal and fullest potential.

It will keep fighting until it becomes the dragon it was meant to be.

I always thought my oc would look cool with this type of tattoo. :3

Eventually all things wash away, even mud and arrows. In this painting Sigilgosa the dragon makes it upstream enough that the water is clean. Heres hoping for less murky days.

An ancient tale tells of a huge school of koi swimming upstream the river. After a hundred years of jumping, one koi reached the top of the waterfall. The gods recognized the koi for its perseverance and determination and turned it into a dragon, the image of power and strength.

For this weeks motivation theme fro I decided to go with something mythical - How a Koi became a Dragon.

A school of golden koi was swimming upstream the Yellow River in China. Gaining strength by fighting against the current the school glimmered as they swam.

Pandemonium

no of vanity, wits, money, or looks that matters—judgment of humanity and shades of grey diffuse the ’pandemonium’ like a on the looney tunes—or a swan that swims upstream—amidst the ruins.✍️🏽

Up and down she strum the strings
Rhymes flowing like streams
Out of my heart flows out stings
Through this sound I'll swim upstream

Chords to produce resonance
Taking my soul to a distance
Reminscing over an instance
Lost opportunity! I never took the chance

181 Great Dragon Level40 Baradagi-Sama

The dragon god was worshipped in a very small village upstream of the Kitakami River. Its appearance closely resembles that of the reptilian Varanopidae of prehistoric times.

I'm Sarah and I'm an old school portrait artist, which doesn't seem to be in high demand these days, but whatever, I like rowing upstream.

Looks like we're fully recovered. The outage was caused by an upstream network issue and we're continuing to monitor the situation.

Thanks for your patience everyone!

i think the whole point of magikarp is that to some, it represents weakness. but to others, it represents potential to be amazing. in order to reach its potential, it has to swim upstream

my OC is a super strong girl that also loves eating fish haha
