my ten year fr-versary will be this september. ten years on this godforsaken site. i wonder if i can save up for a light sprite by then to celebrate.

[anomalous-nekomata]

while i'm talking about old stuff, i think it's worth reminding just how old some of the bigger lore updates are:

Unfathomable Odyssey was in 2024

The last breed story that was released came out in 2023

The beastclan retcon was announced in 2022 - Harpy expansion was released alongside it in 2022 - Longneck expansion was released ~3 months ago

Dustcarve Dig was in 2021

The world map revamp was in 2021

Bounty of the Elements ran from 2018-2019 - This is also when Tidelord went missing

The Bogsneak Mutagen was in 2016

This is not me being one of those "more updates NOW" people, but just some perspective on just how old some of material lore writers are working with is.

bad news. bounty of the elements turned eight years old last week.

EDIT: even worse news

bogsneaks are ten years old

gaolers (and thus ancients) were released seven years ago

the last time festival items retired will be exactly ten years ago this june

A lot of my issues w inspiration has been rough especially with my beastclan lore I've been piddling with. A lot of the information we have on them that's actually informative is very very old and/or is from the now-retconned encyclopedia entries.

Even completely disregarding the change in dynamic between Dragons and beastclans, the article rewrites we have so far have removed what I thought were some of the most interesting things about harpies and longnecks. Why do I want to sit down and dig into my serthis when the same might happen to them?

So much about the clans was established over a decade ago. So much about the site in general was established back then. When was the last time something was put out that mentions tundras using smell as a memory aid? Or that Snappers are nomadic and travel in continuous circuits their whole lives? What about the scarred wasteland having an arid environment or the hewn city being drenched in unnatural night and filled with artifacts of the second era?

All that stuff is so fascinating. But it feels like there's so little interest in following up on it that I almost can't help but feel kind of lame getting excited over what very well may be throwaway trivia that not even the writers really cares about.

I write FR lore because I like FR's lore, yknow? If I wanted to make up everything on my own I'd rather just make normal ocs.

Ive really been meaning to work on my lore but I think I've just had a hard time getting the creative juices flowing. Most of the Canon content we've been getting recently has been very slice-of-life coded (I just remembered bote was way older than I always think it is) and it's really just not been conducive to my interests and inspiration as a creative.

Not that I don't enjoy some of it anyways, but there hasn't really been anything that's made me want to sit and think about it. The last release that did that was probably the Auraboa story and. Well. I'm assuming we won't be getting more of that anytime soon.

Most of the lore I personally think is most interesting has either been retconned or is been left untouched for years. It's made it hard to get overly invested when there's a very real chance half of it might get rewritten with the next beastclan update or never mentioned again.

[anomalous-nekomata]

can't really find a gene i like for the secondary unfortunately but i wanted everyone to see how banger his prim/tert pair is (avocado mochlus + camo capsule)

[anomalous-nekomata]

truly cannot recommend enough having a dedicated dragon for farming in crystal pools and boreal wood. put them in front and you'll never waste all your breath by accidentally eliminating something you need to scratch ever again.

I will likely be doing the others in order of most to least votes BTW so do not worry about picking your fav even if you think it won't win

[anomalous-nekomata]

LPT: if u use the coli tracker and are doing smth like a scav hunt where you need to defeat x amount of an enemy, pick their exclusive drop and set a quest for like 999 of them. if you set it to count valid encounters instead of battles it will keep track of exactly how many you've gone up against.

much easier than counting drops and keeping a notebook

[anomalous-nekomata]

i keep buying extra boss familiars and then completely forgetting i have them. just found out i have six rat kings. what the hell am i gonna do with six rat kings.

[anomalous-nekomata]

nothing feels better than when you accidentally hit elim on an enemy you need to scratch, only to realize your team got the strength buff from camping so you oneshot them anyways

i just realized the two g1s i hatched around my birthday are like. perfect twins. they're the same element, and one is white/thistle/pearl while the other is shadow/thistle/shadow. they're pretty much perfectly opposite of each other.

i think i shall try and find them matching genes maybe, that'd be really cute.
