JUST AS THE TIN SAYS. Put in a remarkable event/events from around the time you first joined the site and newbies can find this post in the future and go âHoly crap look at all these dusty old peopleâ
For me: I officially joined FR 2 weeks after the Beastclans were introduced onto the site for the first time
Bruh, Crystal as released and not long after, Vaults were added.
Holy shit.
yâall old i joined between metallic and alloy

Circus troupes. Pirate crews. Mercenaries. What do these have in common?
Simple. Theyâre the only character group types anyone on Flight Rising knows how to make.
this post is missing âcultsâ
I feel called out.
Here I was thinking a cult was at least semi unique.
Fuck me.
well I have a single mercenary (who doesnât even do that anymore) and two cult members total so I guess Iâm doing pretty well? hahahaha
Snowflake here: none of the above lols
ikea apartment here: I have almost all of those. ⊠I donât *really* have a cult yet and I donât *really* have any mercenaries but. I have things that edge close enough Iâm counting âem.
âŠ. i mean i have two of those things but the vast majority of my lore is just friggin straight up horror in different iterations. even the variations of mercenaries and pirates i have are just horror delivery vehicles iâm now realising.
I have none of these things.
I also have lore thatâs incompatible with everybody elseâs lore, though, so you win some, you lose some I guess.
âI like Lightning but not the mechanical stuffâ
Each to their own, but thatâs like, missing the entire point of Lightning.
I work midnights.
I get home at 9-10am, usually. Today I got home even later than norm.
Iâm exhausted. I had to sit around the house, play video games, and unwind. Now itâs time for sleep.
With that being said, Iâve accumulated a small sum of gems Iâm willing to put towards a small âwish risingâ giveaway. Donât worry there wonât be any links, this is tumblr only, mutuals will be picked before randoms.
REBLOG, no replying, I canât track replies on mobile very well, with your UN, #, and a SMALL list of wishes you have. Genes, bcs, dragons on ah, dragons on my back page, whatever. (I have a ton of pretty gen1 babies on my back page). When I wake up tonight Iâll pick a handful of people to blow 5kg on. Not one person, several. So try to make things inexpensive if you can.
Just an eternal youth scroll and some dark scleras, really. C0NSUME 87440!
Thanks man!

A Voltaic Stormclaws and an Eerie Cyan Grasp is all I'll ask for if you can get to it.
Thanks!
Dragon egg headcanon
I headcanon that dragon eggs are technically, for all practical purposes, immortal. They can be broken and damaged, of course. But as long as the shell isnât broken, they can stay viable forever, the hatchling still alive inside just waiting to be incubated.
Usually, dragon parents incubate their eggs right away, so they hatch at whatâs seen as the ânormalâ time. Sometimes, however, something happens; the egg is lost or stolen, the family dies, the clan disappears⊠but as long as the shell isnât broken, the egg will be fine. And sometimes, eggs can wait for months⊠years⊠centuries to be found and hatched. And the hatchling is born, as healthy as if the egg had been laid six days ago, but of course their parents and original clan have been long forgotten.
This is why, knowing how long eggs can last without incubation, thereâs rarely an attempt to find a âfirst generationâ dragonâs parents; itâs very possible that even their bones have become dust, thereâs nothing left.
Unhatched eggs are literally little time capsules.
Okay but Dragon eggs being found not just centuries later Eons later Dragon eggs of the first generations of dragons created by the gods Prehistoric species preserved in a single egg Eggs that hatch into something that *could* be a Snapper, but itâs so very large, with such odd horns-! Or a dragon that resembles a Wildclaw, but why so many feathers on the arms and legs? A Guardian with two sets of fins, small wings, and no apparent compulsion to find a ChargeâŠ
egg but human come out
Can I fry the egg
hey so, question, how does everyone interpret âdragon housesâ in sornieth? for example, do things like caves/tents/tree houses/etc. etc. replace houses in your lore?
The Blindsiders: They do have normal buildings, but also holes against the side of the massive cave wall that are like pockets with ledges that some dragons choose to say in
Olega: Actually a mobile tent city. Because plague territory is often⊠uh⊠sticky, they donât even use wagons, varro, or the like. Think more like yurts and bedouin tent camps.
Sand ân Surf: They have houses. Stilt beach houses like some traditional Thai or Malaysian wood homes. The boardwalk is- well- a boardwalk, with shops in âhumanâ looking buildings.
Mineâs a veiny network of tunnels, with cavities in the walls that serve as homes and shops - huge teeth and planks jammed into the walls to form stairs. I like to imagine the underground is âaliveâ to an extent with everything being very humid and meaty but flexible so if a dragon needs to expand their little section of cave, they can just scrape away at the ground flesh. Some dragons with furnish their homes with scraps from the wasteland, divert water from the surface for personal pools, or decorate with items from their flight :o
Some of the caves cluster together, sometimes ending up very trypophobia esque but perfect for the more social dragons while the loners can pick/carve out rooms in the deeper tunnels. There are a couple dragons who donât live in the tunnels at all and make their homes at the base of a semi-dried up lake (marked by the giant toothy things on the surface) which makes up the main entrance. These are usually tents or ramshackle huts made from wasteland scraps.
They have underground apartments.
Many dragons opt to live on the air force base Baikonur HQ shares a part of. What used to be bunkers in a war 80 years ago has become a surprisingly massive underground city, with tunnels burrowing deep into the eastern walls of the Carrion Canyon. The top half is devoted to the Air Force, the bottom third or so for the space agency, and the part in the middle includes food, entertainment, gyms, schools, etc for everyone who lives on base.
It might sound grim to have underground apartments, refurbished from their original purpose as bunkers, but they do have a couple of perks. Not only are they dirt cheap for anyone working in the Air Force, the space agency, or the radar defense system underneath the Mission Operations Center, but the amenities the state provides them are super top notch. Besides, the apartments are actually not too badly sized, and each dragon really makes them their own. They're no less cozy than any living space with immediate access to the outdoors.
As far as how each dragon customizes them, there's a few highlights:
Pathfinder once carved a life-sized statue of a pearlcatcher in his apartment, and no one even noticed him walking in and out with particulate masks, venting it with as many fans as he could feasibly find, or having a huge slab of stone wheeled in.
Saria has her whole place filled with plants. It's literally a walk-in garden. She grew up in a lush forest, and it's how she stays sane with a job in Lightning.
SAL doesn't need a living space, as she's a robot and she's really fine working nonstop. But she makes cosmetics in her off hours. All of them. Her entire apartment is dedicated to it. It's got oils, creams, herbs, pigments, and glitters everywhere. Her kitchen has never seen food; it's all for melting down fats and waxes for makeup ideas. It's an odd sight.
Kaguya is kind of an arcane-ophile, and his place is stocked with scrolls, crystals, and century-old enchanted astronomical tools he has no clue how to use. There's glow in the dark stars taped to the ceiling, dark rugs, and the furniture faintly glitters. Aside from his desk, it's rarely fully lit, to get a more nighttime feel to it. The incense makes it a calm place to hang, but in Lightning, it's got a huge weaboo feel to it, so he doesn't really invite people over.
Chandra distances himself from his Arcane heritage, because he has... Family issues. His place is fairly minimal, but it's got a warm, mid-century feel to it. He's got good leather on his couch, and a bookshelf well stocked with tables of integrals, software handbooks, all stuff he really uses. But he keeps a few astronomy handbooks around, and he has a stack of astronomy-related articles he's printed out and put near his computer. See, his husband is an astrodynamycist, but studied astronomy and always wanted a career there. He's off working at the launch complex in Arcane, so Chandra keeps around astronomy stuff to feel a little closer to him.
another probably boring fr lore question: what kind of economy/semblance of an economy happens in yâalls lore?
A significant portion of Wu Xing hospitalâs income is gifts from grateful patients. They never charge for their services, so gifts are very appreciated. Items of value that arenât practical are usually sold or traded for necessities. If a dragon wants to keep a piece like that for themselves, they have to work off itâs value. The Storm Crows are always searching the desert for stranded patients but they also keep an eye out for discarded/abandoned valuables to reuse or sell.
The rest of the clanâs income comes from medicinal exports, as they cultivate a large number of rare and valuable medicinal plants/insects/animals/etc. and are constantly developing new formulas or refining old ones. They also manufacture high-quality medical tools for sale and trade. As far as food goes, there are dragons whose only job is to go out and gather whatever the clan canât grow or raise themselves.
on our end... imagine the military-industrial complex, but more
ridgeback headcanons:
lightning ridges have this extremely useful (and yet unsettling to some) ability to swim through sand like massive landsharks. they use their magic to navigate while underground and are able to cover vast distances out of the reach of the Shifting Expanseâs violent storms.
this is an old one of mine, but their jaws can be shot forward in a manner extremely similar to that of goblin sharks
their spines are used for communication, very effectively signalling anger, a threat display, happiness, or excitement based on context. the rattling noise thatâs produced by their spines clacking together is unlike anything else.
they can make the deepest, most unearthly scream on the planet. ridges will often let loose with this demonic bellow as they sprint into battle⊠and honestly if the image of a titanic dragon taller than most houses, bristling with spikes, barrelling toward you, and making a sound like a portal straight to hell doesnât scare you senseless i really canât help you
their laughs are also kind of terrifying. they canât really help that, the scream place is right next to the laugh place.
>be beastclan
>be chillin in thunderhead savanna
>lvl 25 ridgeback shows up
so, apparently, a âtotal dragons exaltedâ stat was added and i didnât know about it until now
hmm
Ah, my old dom days of buying 100 hatchlings and exalting them in the last hour
... My lair is already a federal agency. They already work for the stormcatcher. LOL
People remember when we discovered that there was a store that sold like vape liquid and used FR dragons as the image on the bottles right or did I imagine this?
Oh yeah, hereâs the whole post: http://sharasflightrisingblog.tumblr.com/post/147418945530/flight-rising-vape-juice
Dragon Meet
I had completely forgotten about this as a planned feature and ho boy I want this so hard. Please. I want to meet up with only the dumbest looking dragons. Floating eyes, vehicles, and blinding suns. Please. p-please.
Itâs like unearthing a bog body.
They say if you open all 605 slots in fr you rise up in the ranks and are allowed to kill one fr god and take their place.
@ lightning im coming for ur god
LEAVE STORMDAD ALONE
Lightning has no god just a large praying mantis and no one bothered to notice.
lightning has a god he just spends all day playing ksp and no oneâs checked in on him in 10,000 years
On the first night of notn roundsey gets replaced with bastard roundsey and the top prize is a xxx double basic with stained and a mile long offspring list with all of the hatchlings unamed except for one name beanis and if you try and regene, give it appearl, or put a skin or accent on the dragon it will exalt itself to the beastclans and be unrecoverable and you will get a stupid looking badge fixed onto your icon forever
Flights Ranked Based Off The Clan Header Art
DISCLAIMER: this isnt my opinion of your flight, or you clan, or whatever. if i dont like your header, you prolly deserve better
ice flight: okay this one is genuinely my favorite. it doesnât have much detail but itâs so atmospheric. you feel the chill just looking at it. thereâs a distant sunrise, because in the summer, the sun never sets here (and it fits if itâs summer, since tundras are pictured in summer coats). everything is pale except for the deep blue treacherously cold water. GOD i love it.
nature flight: they do a good job of reminding you that nature is about The Woods as an entity, and not just nature in general. that tree was probably a better idea in concept but it blocks out a lot of the forest, and because it doesnât have much texture other than âif i add a bunch of shapes thatâs textureâ, it just looks like itâs blocking the view. but atmospherically? itâs gorgeous and the forest has a spooky, foggy, lost woods vibe to it. nice.
plague flight: aesthetically i really dont feel this one, but like, it gets plague spot on. theres a lot of gross stuff in here and it fits. but the reason i ranked it so highly is because itâs super intricate compared to some of the flights. someone really had fun drawing those weird gut things and those rotted teeth. and it shows. itâs nice work, even if i personally think itâs pretty objectively gross.
wind flight: genuinely super peaceful. breezy. itâs not boring, and the sky has some nice texture to it. the balloons remind you that this Isnât Nature and also of windâs aesthetic and vibe. i dont have much to say because i love it. thatâs a good thing!
lightning flight: iâm biased because iâm lightning and at a glance it really does set the tone for my clan well. itâs one of the darkest headers. but itâs just not very detailed. the only piece of signature lightning technology is obscured by the FR logo. in a way, it makes sense to me that the art only has one piece of tech in it; lightning to me is defined as much by the vast deserts as it is by technology, and engineering is just the lightning way of survival. if the deserts should be lonely, so be it! but the result is just... super not detailed and bad.
light flight: ... eh, itâs alright. itâs got some interest to it. but the ocean makes it look so BLANK. i like the lanterny look of the exalt page. if they ever redo this art, i think interest details like lanterns, even if subtle, would be a good touch to add.
shadow flight: you know... itâs got a lot of nice details. but the angle is so... awkward. i feel like a lower angle would make the forest seem taller here, and more mysterious and scary, and it would catch the vibe of the flight better. but itâs not ugly so eh.
water flight: i feel like they scribbled some shapes and shaded them in a way thatâs supposed to imply texture, but it doesnât feel like thereâs much there. also, a lot of the flights are very clearly scenery, but this looks more like a detail and thatâs ?? to me. still a really nice reminder that these dragons live underwater, and that they arenât just like, beach flight, LOL. honestly super cool looking though, when i first joined i considered moving just for the aesthetic.
earth flight: itâs a shame because earth is supposed to be the crystally one, too, but instead they just get like, tons of rocks. and the pillar which isnât supposed to exist in canon i donât think? what a shame. but atmospherically, itâs super nice. you get the like, exploring an ancient land vibes.
fire flight: honestly not that bad but itâs so PLAIN. at least it captures the general aura of the flight. i think the haze is an unrealistic color--looks more like venus than like, a habitable planet with tons of smoke, coming from someone living in a cloud of smoke rn--but itâs got such a fire vibe you canât rly complain. and like, letâs be real: put next to arcane, fire and arcane look pretty similar in terms of lineart. one of them deserved better. actually, they both did.Â
arcane flight: oh arcane, sweetie. honey. honey you deserve so much better. like. what even is this supposed to represent? i joined arcane at first, and i was super confused when i saw this as my header. i get that the sky is orange because itâs the tropics, but you could have given it a nice pink sunset, with the water MAYBE ACTUALLY REFLECTING the colors of the sky so itâs not so randomly dark? maybe TRY to make the crystal mountains slightly shiny instead of just looking like spraypainted rocks with bird crap on them? or maybe--hereâs a concept--draw A NIGHT SKY WITH STARS, since astronomy is one of the BIGGEST defining aspects of arcane???????????? OOF. BIG OOF.
man arcane flight deserves a better header. it should be either crystal-y or starry but not like
like iâm sorry but arcane has like, one of the prettiest *aesthetics* out of all the flights (disclaimer theyâre all aesthetically amazing) and they deserve so much better
