the final boss of dragon hoarding

i still think the gem marketplace should assign each cycling item to a month so you have a clear schedule of what’s coming up but things are still limited. oh it’s february? wildclaw scrolls, baby! it’s august? time to get that firefly vista! november? oh sick, talonclasp pendants are in!

i understand they want money but i also feel no one’s really happy with the current system tbh

[peacevine]

like there’s already warrior’s way, notn and the pirate apparel in august, december and september respectively - why not do that for other cycling apparel? doesn’t even have to be the full month, just 1 or 2 weeks is probably fine

Head canon time! I know this is probably already obvious from most of my noodle drawings but Noodle scarves are an incredibly common occurrence. Spiral Dragons are raised to seek out a singular “Most Important Dragon" also know to Spirals as a Napping Buddy. It can be considered an honor to become a Spirals nap buddy because it means that they trust them with their life and more.

This species-wide trend came about when the very first Spiral Dragons had been created by their Deity-Father, the Windsinger. As most of the young species fanned out across the world, following their inherent wanderlust, they stumbled into more and more danger- what with them being small and prone to passing out with barely a moments notice. So then these proto-noodles found larger dragons with a steadier sleep pattern to ride upon and travel with. As the First of their kind had offspring, and their offspring had offspring, and so on, it was passed down until it became tradition among the species. Even instinctual, some might argue, as even some Spirals not necessarily taught to will seek out a trusted life-long partner to coil around. Hatchlings of mixed parents will naturally gravitate to coiling around their bigger siblings.

Even the Windsinger himself has adopted this trend. Dragons blessed to be near their gods find it an rather common sight for the Windsinger to be tangled around their patron deity- whether they actually enjoy the physical contact or not- talking their ear off.

All of my Spirals Have Napping Buddies except Aether and Aura, who rarely leave their humble shrine now-a-days and so usually hover around the stones and bamboo structures that decorate the shrine. I guess it could be considered their Napping Buddy but Spirals don’t really give that title to inanimate objects or places, only to living, moving beings. If they were to ever travel again they would probably pick one from the clan to serve as their protector.

I can’t decide which interpretation of the FR Gods I prefer:

The Gods are distant from their children, nigh-invisible, so great in size and power that their real forms cannot be viewed by dragonkind’s eyes without breaking their minds or being completely incomprehensible to them. Only their eyes can be truly “seen.” Seeking a meeting with a Deity is nonsense. The Gods will appear to you when you have shown such power or wisdom that they cannot resist approaching. They are not bound by temporal or spacial laws. They are Gods.

The Windsinger knocks on some clan’s door to ask them if their fridge is running

These two statements are not mutually exclusive

I need to know if there are any fans of the color Lemon out there? I try time and time again to find something to like about the color, but how could I possibly, with horros like these?

(beware, eyeburners incoming)

this combination of bright green, blue, yellow and a deep brown sure is something.

what is thaaaaaattt?? whaatt is that!!

why is there red?? what is that murky yellow-brown???

oh boy. oh what the heck is even going on here.

electric blue and yellow… not the worst. but the MURKY BROWN

who created this. what am i looking at. who did this. whose handiwork is this.

that’s just moldy green. or, no, is it gray? why is there gray.

………………………although, lemon is surprisingly enough rescued by banescales. I may not be a huge fan of the breed but:

good on you, banescales.

briefly interrupting my semi-hiatus to point you toward my feelings on lemon as a color, which has become immortalized in fire flight’s infamous memes

Some dragons will tell you that it’s impossible for them to exist. Some clerics have lived their entire life beseeching their god and have heard nothing, how could this be true? Throughout draconic history the topic has been hushed, lauded, condemned, and scoffed at. But if you ask the right people, you might find out you’ve already met a demigod. 

The secret is not widely known outside of certain Exalted circles, but the most famous demigod in Sornieth is the Mirror named Joxar. He is the son of the Windsinger, and although his early history is unknown, these days he uses his divinely powerful talents to appear every month and spread the joy of elemental festivals. How else, surprisingly accurate conspiracy theorists argue, could he produce the endless quantity of apparel every month? And why does a lowly Mirror have such connection to the gods to bring to the masses their entourage, their eyes, their acolytes, their… attack bears? 

In the modern era, the existence of sons and daughters of the deities is mostly dismissed as a fairy tale, or at worst condemned as blasphemy, but the few who have gotten it right have learned a little. The Windsinger has the most mortal children – it’s just in his nature to enjoy companionship, god or not – but there are stories of demigod children of all the deities, even the melancholic Earthshaker and the distracted Arcanist. Other stories will claim that only some of the gods care to have such relations, although every god is known to don the appearance of a mortal and spend time with them. The Windsinger does it so regularly, in legend and stories of personal experience, that denying hospitality to a wind-eyed visitor is seen as horribly unlucky. But there are tales of the Flamecaller appearing in the midst of battle as an armored dragon with a blazing sword, the Lightweaver leading the applause from the back row of a lecture hall, the Tidelord wandering back alleys whispering prophecies. The constant influence of a god like the Stormcatcher does not seem to inspire as many tales, although by all reliable accounts he’s been infiltrating laboratories and workshops as a distinctly brilliant and notoriously impatient coworker or overseer and guiding the development of technology since the very beginning. 

Among the gods there doesn’t seem to be any kind of taboo about mingling with mortals, even if it does lead to offspring. The current unknown, as researched by only a few enterprising Exalted historians, is whether there are or have ever been any demigod Beastfolk. So far, research is inconclusive.

Edit 2024: this really should've been a sign to me.

Just as a heads-up, I’m taking a kinda-sorta hiatus from FR for an undetermined amount of time due to personal matters. I’ll be here to feed my dragons and do dailies and such, but I’m going to be mostly unavailable otherwise, including on tumblr.

If anyone messages me, I probably won’t respond. It’s nothing personal, I just can’t keep up a front that tells people I’m okay when really, absolutely nothing is at the moment. It’s become too tiring, and what energy I have is going to be spent weathering the storm with my loved ones.

I hope you all take care. I’ll probably pop in for the anniversary if anything exciting happens. And don’t worry about me, I’ll be okay in time.

[guardsbian]

"rainbow capitalism on FR" ah yes. flight rising. famous for only acknowledging its lgbt userbase when they can make a profit and... not just casually doing so year round...

[guardsbian]

ok context feels important since people are. perceiving this post

people were arguing against FR celebrating/acknowledging pride in suggestions because it could come off as performative or because. for some reason people have decided that rainbow capitalism actually means that a company acknowledging LGBT people is bad and not, like, that a company using pride specifically to profit off of LGBT people is bad

but I think if you're saying that there's no difference between the company behind an independent pet site, with a history of nipping things like transphobia in the bud and showing year-round and free support for the LGBT community, and something like Disney, which profits off of pride while censoring its creators from exploring LGBT topics and having a history of actively barring LGBT content from its streaming service, then you don't actually understand the issue of rainbow capitalism, you just think you do

Lads we've done it

welcome to the final result of my breed for everything (colors, pose, breed, genes) only using Smirch to help challenge.

Well except her eyes. I just vialed that because I'm not THAT patient.

But I have been Very patient.
