Which is better? I'm naming him Paintbox.

Keep her a baby, or let her grow up?

So the G1 I hatched right at the solstice cleans up pretty good, I think.

#not good omens #ineffablefool original post #ineffablefool mentions flight rising #i set these up on my phone to look at on the better color representation of my monitor and i think i've narrowed to two now #but i'll sleep on it #other scries welcome just no ridgebacks or banescales (my least favorite breeds)

Good news, everyone, the lines and shadows on my accent were dark enough :D

The markings are supposed to kind of look like stretch marks but also kind of like flames.  I’m fairly satisfied with the results.  (The tartan, of course, is just Stylish.)

That was the best ~200kt I have ever spent.  (I was aiming for the ice eggs.) (If you do not play Flight Rising: I spent about three days’ moderate-effort-grinding worth of dragonbucks on ingame raffle tickets.  The thing I won is worth approximately 80 times that much.)

#ineffablefool original post #ineffablefool mentions flight rising #not good omens #i have been very idle lately because the depression is being Very Difficult #but hello #i actually won the raffle last month too for the first time ever! that was just a luminax plushie though #cute but not particularly valuable #also i usually buy exactly 13 raffle tickets but this week i liked my odds #so i bought like 463 or them or something #thus my riches

I need someone to help me decide who’s a cuter Fire rep, because I can’t choose, and I also can’t justify making myself two permababy Coatls.

#ineffablefool original post #not good omens #ineffablefool mentions flight rising #h a l p

[ineffablefool]

help i can’t decide (tan mandibles perfectly matches a bunch of pearl primaries so at least i’m probably set on that) (also i’m looking at Rare and Pastel eyes pretty interchangeably i just can’t remember which is cheaper)

someone help me pick D:

well, there go 1100 of my gems

I have been working on a particular Flight Rising breeding pair since July of last year.  I’ve been breeding dozens of nests, endlessly haunting the Auction House for more fresh blood in the apparently very rare range of colors that I’m interested in, cursing the name of the Assay Bloodlines tool every time it tells me that whoops actually those two dragons I was going to breed together were related four generations back so I can’t, and wondering how many eggs it will take for one of these “25% chance of producing the colors I want” pairs to actually cough up the goods already.

Finally, today, I finished geneing up my final breeding pair, used my free flight change to get matching eyes, and brought my long-held dream to life by clicking the “Confirm Breeding Pair“ button.

I snorted out loud.  Thanks for the welcome, Earth Dad.

#ineffablefool original post #ineffablefool mentions flight rising #not good omens #for not-FR people: generically you can get between 1-5 eggs per nest #i think it's supposed to be random #but i also think the first nest of a pair has about a 50% chance of being a single egg #at least if it's a pair i'm really eager to get eggs from #at least it's only a 20-day cooldown before i can breed them again

Now to spend, like, a week waiting for the queue, only to find out that whoever reviewed my submission did not feel that the lines or shadows were “noticeably darker" than the color beneath them.  After which I will darken them slightly and then wait another week.

#ineffablefool original post #ineffablefool mentions flight rising #this is actually vaguely good-omens-related :D #i've been meaning to get to it for almost exactly ten whole months and this last week i finally had energy to drag out the ol' pen display #(is it reviewed yet? is it reviewed yet? ...is it reviewed yet??)

In today's dragon capitalism news, someone listed an item on the auction house for 10kt even though it usually goes for 500g bare minimum, and I grabbed it before sending them a "hey was that a mistake and do you want this back" message. They don't seem to want it back. I am woefully confused.

For not FR people, 10,000 treasure is worth roughly 10 gems (two percent or less of the usual going rate for this thingy). Also, the "auction house" is where players sell items to each other at fixed-by-seller prices. You have to go to the forums to do actual auctions. Don't look at me, I didn't name it.

#ineffablefool original post #not good omens #ineffablefool mentions flight rising #this is very not a new player too so it's like *shrug* if y'all really insist on letting me keep it...... #I'm kind of complaining because I was just trying to be kind and I don't want to end up profiting A Lot from doing so D: #fully recognize that that's a pretty nice problem tho

I am very much the only person in my household who is interested in Flight Rising, and I don’t talk to anyone on there except to negotiate trades and stuff, which means that I’m going to yell about this here.

So!  I bought a very lovely five-digit back in 2018, who was extra interesting to me because he had been bred/still had descendants who were breeding.  Through a series of steps, that has evolved into me looking up and procuring active dragons descended from each of my 5/6 digits, with the purpose of using them to breed pretties to sell (i.e. keeping the line going).

I bought Halcyon and Sangar as fodder off the AH last July (I couldn’t pick/didn’t want to separate them):

They are the great-greats of the five-digit I started this with (he is my favorite old man and I love him):

Iago 💜 > Rukki > Dasos > Pine > Crabgrass > Bergamot > Eren > Orobranche > Aloe > Xerune > Aurora > Ulmo > Reagle > Zinnasaadi > Shelley > Norman > Aodhaigh > happy gaoler sibs

I’ve been working on looking up descendants for the last couple of oldies and then yesterday I realize --

Azul 💜 > Sabrina > Sage > Tashka > Ask > Pickles > Mayel > Kunzite > Pidge > Kune > Balsam > Aenyrthan > Mauro > Norman > Aodhaigh > wait

waitasec I know those first two offspring names

It turns out that these two dragons, who are descended from my favorite five-digit (and who I sometimes think of as being sort of like me and my lovely sister Hope when I take them to the coli to beat up on offbrand shoggoths, which is another way in which they are special to me) -- are also, in a freak of coincidence, descended from my favorite six-digit as well.

[pets purple babies] i love youuuu

#ineffablefool original post #not good omens #ineffablefool mentions flight rising #that should probably be my 'for if you want to block' tag #because if i just tag flight rising then it would end up in the FR search #the aqua bows are my This Is A Descendant Of Iago marker because i had a bunch of them at one point #(a bunch of bows i mean although also descendants) #then of course ancients can't wear apparel so when I picked up gaolers that obviously meant i had to make them accents #accents plural because obviously i had to silhouette scroll one of the gaolers so that they were no longer both in the F pose #this all makes perfect sense probably #dragon capitalism is what you make of it and i definitely make my own fun #and old dergs with mile-long offspring lists are extremely fun #OH ALSO if you are wondering how i find descendants the answer is: SO MUCH CLICKING LINKS ON DRAGON PAGES #cannot tell you how glad i am that Anthony can handle like five times the open browser tabs that my last computer could #(Anthony is my computer) #(mmm tag soup)
