this is the best dragon ever

"He is going out. He goes out every sundown to hunt for the strange white beast that escaped him. You know that perfectly well. Don't be stupid."

-The Cat (The Last Unicorn by Peter S Beagle) The Red Bull dragon image from Flight Rising © -------- Are you The Red Bull hunting for The Last Unicorn? Boy howdy do I have news for you! AI exists and is ready to assist! (disclaimer: AI answers cannot be trusted):

Just a funny that happened when during writing inspired by The Last Unicorn, I wanted to double check that Hagsgate was the name of the nearest village without getting up to go get my book from the other end of the apartment. Let this be a lesson kids, don't trust the AI just 'cause it's spotlighted as "The Answer" You never know when it's assisting (or thwarting?) a villain. I remembered to change my search engine defaults after this to one that doesn't do this lol.

Gilded Queen Accent

500g/525kt Available on the auction house now 6 currently in stock as of this post Reprints available on a prepaid to fund the copy pack basis, check out my accent shop for more <3 This accent was made primarily as a gift to my 2nd life partner, inspired by the song Pink Pony Club by Chappell Roan (and the pink horse with yellow highlights and single heart that she rode on stage). The song keeps getting stuck in their head (and now keeps getting stuck in mine as a result of listening to it on loop and singing it every time I see this accent and the associated pink pony (cirrus) pair.

Naming Journal Entry 256

That's just a random number, but it might be accurate. Today's naming journey has taken me through classical music and dance of the 18th century into French history in particular, refreshing some of what I know about 18th century France from King Louis XIV through to Louis the XVI and the French Revolution. Granted it's almost all gleaned from wikipedia (at least it's not chat gpt?), but yeah...anyone else end up actually studying a wide variety of random things in pursuit of... *checks notes* Naming a pixelated dragon? (Granted some of that is following an ADHD train of thought on the topic)

That gif is a pun because it's a music-related name <3 And this ended with an edit after looking up how to refer to centuries because I vaguely remembered they don't actually match the written year =_= *Edited again because my brain got what I read backwards. All of which could've been easily avoided by saying the 1700s to begin with. /done rambling

OH M GOD OH MY GOD

[pumpkin-bread]

[pumpkin-bread]

My lair is almost full so please pop down and check if there's a kid you want to buy! All are cheap on AH, cheaper if you inquire via the thread!

[pumpkin-bread]

Okay. Wishrising.

Eggs to hatch on my son's birthday tomorrow (May 9th.)

Also for you guys to come hang out as I hatch them at about 20:00FRT on the above date.

Conversely, likes on my dragons.

New Accent: Ruby Flourish

That's right, I've finally made a new accent. This time it's a custom for a gen1 stock the pond Everlux I wanted to make prettier and I figured other people might like it enough to add it to my roster. All my accents are 500g each and never retire (though they do go on prepay-to-reprint status). I'm awaiting approval now for the first 10 copies, 9 of which will be available. My accent shop on Flight Rising Ruby Flourish Try it on with ReSkin

I also still have 2 copies left in stock of Padparadscha's Finery:

None of the others are in stock. If you are interested, my queues usually take months if not a year to fill for more reprints for all my older accents (ie all of them except for the new Ruby Flourish).

[muse-rising]

It's finally approved and available! You can pick it up off the AH now or at my accent shop.

[pumpkin-bread]

I misclicked but like

[pumpkin-bread]

I hate this game.

[muse-rising]

That's why I've taken to just spam clicking one side until I go through all the cards. I figured out that if I take the time to actually look, even though it's just like a second or two, I really only get, on average, 2 or 3 more cards correct.

I don't save much time, but I do save a lot of frustration and eye rolling while still getting a little bit of quick treasure.

Gentle reminder that often creativity decides to hibernate for a bit.

It’s okay.  You’re not broken, you’re resting, and much like spring, creativity comes back.

[scruffydogcreative]

In Art Therapy we call this incubating.

You’re incubating ideas. Like an egg. There’s stuff growing inside. Your ideas are collecting and culminating and melding, merging into something.

Don’t crack it open before it’s ready. Wait until you hear it tap tap tapping with its egg tooth. Then slowly help it from its shell bit by bit.

Be kind. Be gentle. We are all growing things tender and soft but capable of great power if given the time to grow and change.

You don’t actually buy dragons. You just pay for them to move to your lair. Packing, shipping, express fees, tickets and food. Sornieth is big so travel is expensive if you hop from arcane to nature and back

[frsarenne]

It's customary for the receiving clan to pay all these fees, as they're welcoming a new member to their group.

The travelling dragon is accompanied by at least one dragon from either its old or new clan.

Receiving clans will usually send a dragon - or entourage - to pick up the new member and save on the "convoy fee".

More expensive dragons are dragons who have requested that they are accompanied by members of their old clan. In this case, the new clan also pays for the convoy's travel, food, and a wage for their time.

A "meet in the middle" approach is also frequently adopted: the travelling dragon is accompanied halfway by old clan member(s), then picked up by their new clan.

[sandcastle-clan]

Very enthused by the fact that this implies fodder-price dragons have less moving fees for some reason

[hungrytundras]

In this case, it's probably part of a sponsorship program from the exalted organization in question. Since they're the ones who will ultimately take in a new recruit they foot part of the bill for relocation. Mercenary trainers and guild schools have similar practices.

Personal post

I ask everyone for their patience with me for the forseeable future. I'm going through a lot of RL stuff that includes housing instability after years of chronic stress. I've made job, housing, and seeking legal/financial help a full time job.

It's happened! Right before my birthday too <3 My first celebrity dragon at over 1k stars <3 <3 <3

I can't help it, I'm so excited <3 <3 <3 I actually love that after 1k you only show each 100 stars after too. It feels like a throwback to Chrono Trigger when you beat the game and went back in as Game+ lol. A + (or .1 in this case) for every 100 after Eydis beat the star milestone game lol. She was my very first auction purchase to back in 2017 and I feel like I picked her up for only 7g (though she had underbelly instead of glimmer at the time). Got some new foddart going for her too. Might poke around to get her a few more celebratory commissions after that :D PS Still running that raffle that has over 14kg worth in prizes now just for giving out stars to my dragons <3 It's running until the very last minute of January 31st :D

[muse-rising]

Star Lighting Raffle

Now over 13kg in prizes! Running a free raffle in Flight Rising with multiple ways to earn tickets. The primary goal is to just get attention and happy little stars lit for as many of my 462 (and growing) permadragons as people have time to witness with their eyeballs. The easiest way to get tickets is simply to look at one of my dragons and light its star as a little kudos. 1 ticket per dragon starred (and yes, you may count previously lit stars). It also doubles as a birthday raffle. I get a little attention for all the hard work I put into my dragons, and all participants get a shot at over 13kg+ in prizes. 35 prizes currently with unlockable tiers for more based on participation. You can read more and participate at Saronai's Star Lighting Raffle. And finally, this post has a key phrase with which to claim 10 *bonus raffle tickets for purely looking at my Flight Rising tumblr. Just PM me in Flight Rising with the key phrase "The muse is flying" to claim 10 bonus tickets. Tumblr reblogs are worth 25 *bonus tickets but you have to PM me in game with a link to your reblog. Only one reblog claim per player.

*Note: These are bonus tickets that only activate for raffle participants who've starred at least 25 of my dragons and claimed them in the raffle thread or via PM. Each dragon starred yields a ticket as well! Read the raffle thread for more details <3 Additionally, several of my dragons award badges (mostly dragon-matching stars, but a few have butterfly badges too) that you can use as a dragon or clan bio asset if you lit their stars (and keep the badge linked to that dragon) <3 You can get the codes for those at my thread Ylli's Star Collection.

Taibhse Gijinka

So because Taibhse (pronounced Tao-shuh - it's Irish whaddya want? lol) will be relevant to my weekly tabletop RP soon, I went and made them up in a bunch of dollmakers and edited the results of my favourite to better suit them. I prefer commissioning artists directly (especially since Taibhse should look a little more masculine than they do), but I wanted to have some art ready for when they join Diem's adventuring party while Diem is otherwise...indisposed. Anywho, here it is:

An edited image made from "Mega Fantasy Avatar Dollmaker" (basically I made the face more narrow, lips slightly wider, put in a peek of the triskele shaved into the side of their head, and broadened their shoulders. Also erased some breast shading one of my partners insists was never there lol. Edit doll version of this dragon:

This is why I need to actually work on my dragon bios more! I've been on flight rising since the tail end of 2014, and my dragons are still struggling with lore all in my head and not where everyone can read it! Seriously, to everyone who plays flight rising and struggles with their lore, this player is an inspiration!
