[hologramblue-fr]

I know its been like a month but if you still are giving away Argent I can finally take her ._. Hope your life is going well!

i saw this while out, thought “oh i should reply to that” and then completely forgot about it for weeks. sent the cr now though!

[hologramblue-fr]

so hey, i haven’t logged into FR in a few months and i’m *probably* not going to play seriously anymore, so i’ve got some stuff that would be better in other people’s hands probably? just point and tell me your username and i’ll send it to you, first come first serve, but, like, if you want something old and big-ticket be respectful of other people who might be asking. that’s the only rule really.

DRAGONS:

- “Aries”: G2 Imperial. Born Apr 12, 2015. Chocolate/Sunshine/Platinum. - Assorted G1s/old dragons/lore dragons: you can browse my lair and point at one you like. If you want their outfit/accent, too, I can oblige. Only exceptions are Naia, Pestel, Samsyvald, Zuut, Holo, and Euthalia.

ITEMS:

- tons of familiars, some of which are festival or limited. peep my bestiary, and if it’s awakened you can have it. - also tons of limited apparel. ask, and if i have it you can have it. i have....no idea how to effectively list what i have, god, there is so much in this game - small mountains of food - 4 berserkers, 2 ambushes - ooh hey there’s a wildclaw scroll in here. - various quantities of festival currency, name one and you can have a stack - swipp/baldwin mats....? again just ask and i’ll give you whatever i have because there’s a lot - any random garbage you’re collecting, i kept a few of most things out of obsessive concern that Maybe I’ll Need This One Day

SKINS:

- I have one of most of the festival skins/accents starting from, like...the first Ice festival? And some of the ones before that, including a few from the first Arcane festival. You can ask and I’ll check. - Guarded Phoenix (an old gem MP skin) - Flaming Masque (skin image 1) - Frozen (skin image 2) - doesn’t look like much, but on the right colors it applies a weird “glass statue” effect - Crackle Ghost (3) - also looks cooler on actual dragons. it applies a weird outline to the crackle tert. - Prismatic Crackle (4) - Bringer of Fortune (5) - Empyrean Sun (6) - Opal Smoke (7) - Natural Horns (8) - ah, youthful folly - Lava Born (9) - i have others but lol tumblr limits. will post others later probably

tell me about your light dragons

hey ho my dudes I am trying to wrap my head around lore and I could really use some infodumps on other people’s Light Flight lore clans and/or dragons to get the grey matter churning

prompt questions: how do you/your dragons interpret light flight culture/philosophy/history/etc? how do the light flight or the sunbeam ruins factor into your dragon’s backstory, or the functions of your clan?

i want to get a bead on what other people do with the flight’s lore and/or what points of interest are out there and exploitable

[hologramblue-fr]

i put up a suggestion about having how many of each Baldwin material you have show up somewhere on the Transmute/Create pages

[hologramblue-fr]

on one hand having missed a festival is making my perfectionism scream at me to just turn around and not look back, but on the other hand lewis looks super fucking nice and i don’t want to waste that, or any of the other handsome dragons i got

[hologramblue-fr]

squints at the ceiling

logs back into fr

posts in the light forums?

[whiteraven90]

Nothing’s better to cheer me up than someone sneaking up to me and blowing air into my face so hard that my ears ring afterwards. The middle “page” could be clearer, but hopefully the action is still comprehensible (maybe a couple more panels would have done it). Wasn’t meant to be the Mona Lisa, just a fun thing~

[nabesima]

It’s gorgeous.

im not crying ur crying

Yooo, I am on the hunt for some chill social groups that do any of the following:

-writing circles (must be darkfic friendly)

-book clubs

-art circles

-RP and tabletops (setting is flexible, I’d be willing to try DMing but I don’t have any experience with that)(well I mean I’ve dom’d before and that’s comprable but you get me lmao)

-show or movie streaming

-gaming (not a fan of FPS tho)

I only speak english but I’m a night shift worker so groups that meet up or are primarily active in the evening are prefered. I expect only online stuff but I live in RI for irl meetups on the absurd chance I meet one of u nerds in state.

I am an intersectional feminist and not looking for environments where people feel comfortable genuinely making fun of people for their gender, sexuality, race, illness (physical or mental), etc. So if your group has a habbit of using slurs, making #triggered jokes or shit like that I’m gonna pass. I’d also prefer adult-only or primarily adult ppl because I’m interested in subjects that I don’t want to talk to underage ppl about (sex, porn, etc… I’m 25 so that’d be a little weird for me, sorry kiddos)

awesome, thanks <3

[hologramblue-fr]

idk how easy it is to break into at the moment, but the dreamwidth rp community and the out-of-character interaction on plurk dot com might fit the bill? we’ve been around for a while so it’s almost entirely adults (i don’t think any of the 78 on my friends-list are underage) and with our roots in the old livejournal fandom culture we’re very darkfic-and-the-like friendly and have a solid grasp of ic vs ooc baked into our entire approach to fandom.

the people i hang with do a lot of streaming, gaming together, talking about fandom and media, etc. a lot of us don’t rp nearly as much as we used to since it’s been a good 5+ years since we joined the community and we have less time, so it’s a shared hobby but not the absolute focus of all interaction.

plurk, the social media site we use, is also really well-formatted for time zone differences (which is why we gravitated to it in the first place) - it’s kind of like twitter with a way better conversation space, like, twitter if an IM chat was stapled onto every tweet. it takes a bit of getting used to but of all the sites i use i think it’s the best for actually interacting with people and forming connections and i wish it saw more use. i think i see activity spike in the evening EST but plurk makes it really easy to interact even if you’re not online at the same time. hard to explain how but it makes sense once you see it.

the downside is that networking in dwrp-plurk is still heavily based in the actual RP element of the community, like, you generally go and meet people via your games and then friend them on plurk and get to know them. if you wanted to give it a whirl i could, like, advertise you, and find you some people to friend/follow, though.

[yarking]

Yooo!! thanks a bunch for the suggestion! :D I’m currently running one RP with a friend of mine and I had someone message me for a potential future DnD game too, but I’ll give this a look around! Wanna try spreading things out and meeting new people, so this sounds just perf. <3

[hologramblue-fr]

my phone's busted so i'm not keeping up with all my online stuff as well as i'd like rn, but if you decide to go for it and want a leg up/a quick tour, you can hit me up via tumblr messages at any time

some color grouping ideas

with all these nice new colors, there’s a lot of opportunity for some fun themed hatcheries! i made a few groups of some colors (not all of them!) to maybe inspire some people

I wish to follow every flight rising blog. If I am not following your flight rising blog like this (if you’re not sure like it anyway) or let me know in some way ⊙ヮ⊙

Skydancer Headcanon

Onsite lore tells us that Skydancers have a special sixth sense which comes through their forehead gems and antennae. I headcanon that most Skydancers really dislike covering their gems, because doing so will muffle their sense. Think about it - this would be like wearing earmuffs 24/7, or dark goggles or even a blindfold, or a noseplug. It’s obnoxious and limiting. Most Skydancers really, really hate it and refuse to wear any kind of hat.

Though other dragons might not immediately realize the impediment, not having to deal with the problem themselves, any Skydancer would immediately wonder if they see another of their kind wearing a hat.

Sometimes, wearing a hat can become a status symbol for a Skydancer - it indicates that they don’t need to use their orb sense, they live a relaxed enough life that it’s not necessary.

It might also mean simply that the Skydancer’s orb sense is weak enough that they don’t mind the muffling.

And, in some cases, it could mean that they are trying to muffle themselves. And this raises the question: what are they trying to shut out? Why don’t they want to feel?

One exception is the fillets that come with the silk sets; if you haven’t noticed, their larger center gemstone lands exactly on top of a Skydancer’s sensor. Demonstration:

I headcanon that these are magical accesories meant to enlarge and amplify the Skydancer’s sensing ability. They are highly popular with dragons who use their sense frequently - scouts, spies, inquisitors, interrogators, psychics, etc. (Elspeth above uses her already-enhanced sense for prophecy.) The fillets are also very useful as “hearing aids” for Skydancers whose orb sense is somehow impaired; an enhancement fillet could help bring their sensing close to normal.

....so it's, like, the SD equivalent of wearing sunglasses indoors
