A part of me misses the newbie experience on FR. Falling in love with the ugliest cheapest fodder on the AH. Cobbling outfits together from the stuff in chests. Getting confused at dominance. Refusing to exalt or sell dragons. Empty bestiary, level 1 cauldron, getting every Tomo question wrong. No money, no lair space, no idea how anything works
Dragon that was breed changed from a guardian but they kept their charge. A mirror violently protecting a ruin from tomb raiders. A tundra standing guard over their library. A fathom lurking around a single tide pool. A gaoler looming over another dragon. A coatl shivering through snow storms for their wolf pack. A fae sleeping on the lip of their stained glass window. A wildclaw braving the acrid sprays of burning water to ensure their volcanic geyser is left alone. An aether keeping one scroll safe despite their newfound habits. A spiral sleeplessly watching over a sculpture
Just the unconventional, scary and sometimes even sad concept of trying to escape your very nature and becoming even better or worse equipped for the one trait that may never be physically changed.
Okay you guys.
When you see “FR” written down on a post do you mentally read it as…
“Feeh-Arr”
“Fligh-righ”
what are you TALKING about
Im thomas / results
IF YOU PRIMARILY DO NOT SPEAK ENGLISH reply with what you mentally call it, if you have a nickname for it or something
resident obelisk dragon being called in by their clanmates to get rid of stray basilisks that wander into the clan's territory the same way people with arachnophobia force their bravest roommate to deal with that big spider in the shower
[obelisk carrying a screeching thrashing basilisk away from the den with their bare hands] yeah yeah I get it you're mad. what are you gonna do, turn me to stone? lol
flight rising what does this mean..................
Got a rude response from someone I reblogged from so I'm making my own post about Ice Flight because um--
Hey Ice Flight can be pretty cool actually and be different from the rest of the flights, and this post is gonna be my two cents about it. I've seen people go around just summing it up as "cops" when just like every other Flight they can be so much more?
While first, I do agree that Ice’s aesthetic is kinda weak as is. Not a lot you can do with the same winter themes over and over with the occasional broken chain motif. I’d love to see people get creative to what they think Ice represents and how they contribute to Sornieth’s systems, cultures, and dragons as a whole.
I see ice flight specializing in stuff like collection and cataloguing as iirc before the map update it said those were things Ice Flight likes. I think where Earth is Uncovering What Was, Ice is about Preserving What Is.
They’re not entirely just cops (and even then stripping them to just the role of "cop" is a bad take). They’re also researchers of the things they fear, and of relics that need studying. In my head Ice would probably have the best museums, archives, and storage houses. What better way to preserve or trap something than in ice?
They’re a flight of Order, not so much in the sense of cops and law but a flight that bulks when there’s a sense of disorder or chaos, disorganization, and imperfection. If it’s uncategorized, unsorted, then it needs to be so in order to be learned. Where Lightning is stats and progression, Ice is pattern recognition (Tundra’s memory being linked to their smell may also reflect this) and tradition (Gaolers role system and lack of awareness about the state of Sornieth and not just the Ice Fields).
This can be extended then into interests, individual home cultures, businesses and what not. Why not start a collection of rocks? Or insects? They’d know best how to preserve it. Need something specific from the shop? Probably very easy to find if you know the qualities and traits you’re looking for. Need something preserved for safe keeping? They’ll do that, and they’ll do it awfully well. Perfectly. The systems have to be perfect. The line up has to be perfect and up-kept and looked after intensely— possibly so intense it’s evolving into passion. There can certainly be a sense of pride.
Combine with the lore that Ice is typically more hostile to outsiders due to their melting home I can see them being much more traditional and closed off. Not quite isolated, but having a more unique culture that’s a little more closed off from others and not quite as shared, trying to preserve what is left of their home and traditions.
What about urban legends and superstition? They’re guarding creatures and horrors in those prisons, surely the local resident dragons have folklore over that? What about fishing and hunting, two very popular ways to get food or supplies in climates like these? Where are the ice fisherman skins or hunters bound in furs? What about the fauna or flora found in the region we can probably make skins for that too.
Existential horror can also be fun; remember, relatively recently Gaolers learned that Sornieth has changed. Dragons of other flights have other magic not native to their elements and in addition the age old threat of Shade that seems to be making new problems for new times.
We have a flight literally dealing first hand with monsters and horrors existing already on the planet and in its own prisons and fighting against it, yet people relegate that to Arcane. 😔 Unlike Arcane, the unknown is already here in Ice.
You could easily take inspiration from the movie The Thing, too. It writes itself ngl.
Theres much to do and think about with Ice when you remember this is a region with its own people and culture and not just an aesthetic, and I’d like to see it dabbled in more. Even if it’s just headcanon, you can make it into a skin. That’s what people have done with Light with the whole angelic themes, so why not take creative spins on ice too?
Give ice some headcanon love like y’all do with Arcane and Light. Those flights aren’t about eldritch horror or angels but there’s endless skins for them about it. Give ice some of that same ole love too 💕
I love Flight Rising clans so much. I love clans that are towns, cities, entire kingdoms. I love clans that are twenty-strong groups of bandits. I love clans that are sailors on the open ocean. I love clans that are really just families all living in a commune. I love clans that are workplaces. I love clans that stick together come hell or high water. I love clans that would sell eachother out for a single corn chip. I like clans that are led by progenitors. I love clans that have elaborate systems of government to lead them. I love clans that are just a bunch of dragons living together in a cave. I love clans that have buildings and houses and shops. I love clans that live in castles, cities, and everything in-between
as someone who was around for the release of poison/toxin there's something kind of special about how people talk about genes without accent colors these days... people asking for more genes without accent colors, or not understanding how anyone could like them because they're too boring. i absolutely get it but it's also funny to at the same time remember when the most colorful gene was iridescent
I have such a soft spot for dragons with the tiger gene. I know it's not a popular one, but I would go so far as to say it is one of my favourite genes on the whole site.
What the fuck is this
Lightweaver thinks i'm hella irresistible.
HEY LOOK AT THIS
XYZ MEETS 123 IN THAT ORDER.
saw an accent shop with [ftm] in the title and my first thought was "oh an accent for trans dragons? godspeed"
.fathom male.
someone bought a dragon from me on flight rising then applied 3 gem genes + primal eyes and exalted it. quite possibly one of the funniest sales ever
Got a bunch of very nice visually striking dragons listed at the moment but I'm really hoping I can find a loving home for this boy:
I really go hard on breeding and finding dragons that look stunning on their own, with skins and apparel only enhancing what's already there, and I think Mohave is GORGEOUS and that there's somewhere out there that's right for him! He has a nontraditional sort of XYZ contrast, but the potential is there for some STUNNING primal-geode vibes.
Like look at this!
Best Earth Breed
Snappers
Obelisks
Dusthides
No “other” option. You must decide. Colors used for the scries are slate/stone/dirt.
Propaganda welcome!
flight rising can we have new terts. pls flight rising we r being so good please let us have new terts
FOR MODERNS
[longing sigh]
Why are people breeding XYX antiques so BORING, it's all triples.
Where's the flash. The pizzazz. The Antique/Turquoise/Antique that I can spend obscene amounts of money on despite having absolutely no lore slot for them and in fact still possessing several dragons who do not yet have lore written for them--
