She/her - They/Them Takatāpui/Indigenous Queer Woman Flight Rising Blog for Norbmeister/#26854 This is a LGBT+ inclusive blog, Terfs, Truscum/Transmed and Exclusionists aren't welcome, you don't belong here nor do you belong in the LGBT+ community.
Well, I’m gonna put my TLDR at the top and the rest of what I want to say under a cut, so folks can read however much they want to/know the results right away:
1) I apologize
2) I didn’t know Victory or Valhalla was a dogwhistle
3) I’m gonna change that page slogan and delete those dragons
4) I’m not taking the link to my FA off my front page, though.
The rest of what I’m addressing is going under a cut.
A note: I’m Jewish by blood, I’m also queer and trans. I’m one of those folks who’s right on the top of the list of right wing undesirables. Does this make me free of accountability? No, but it’s important context/worth noting.
Also important context: I’ll admit that these dragons are edgy, like oh my goodness you could cut your hands on that edge -- they’re also 4 years old. Pre-Charlottesville, pre-Unite the Right, pre-nazis invading political office.
So why didn’t I delete them right away? I took a long break from Flight Rising ‘cause I didn’t have time or interest and only in the past couple weeks have I been putting effort into remaking and retaining my lair. I was planning on grinding the treasure to rename those dragons, but since I’ve never been good at the grind despite playing the game for five years, now I’m just going to delete them.
I’m going to take a moment to just....stand, jaw dropped in shock at this
I repeat: I understand the feelings here, and I’m going to make the changes I mentioned at the top TLDR, but can I just say...that I've had enough antisemitism in my life to be a little tired of the attitude that the only appropriate response to history is to ignore it, pretend it didn’t happen, and never risk making any references to historical events.
You could try asking me before taking screenshots of my pixel dragons named after locations that were fundamental in the history of - i repeat - MY people. The history of both sides of my family.
I don’t follow many Flight Rising tags on Tumblr at all. If someone hadn’t been kind enough to approach me with the link to this post, I wouldn’t have even known at all and people would grow to think the worst of me?
I didn’t spend five years becoming conversationally-fluent in German so I could read newly released war records and journals that might otherwise be unavailable in english (or have a translation be off), to get a minor in it as part of my Bachelors, to get called a nazi behind my back.
So uh, thank you random citizen, for letting me know so I could address this properly.
I really like everything this year - the banners are awesome, with great potential to be used elsewhere. Might be difficult as apparel goes, but the graphic itself? Perfectly malleable.
Included is the blank template. And an example of what you could do with it. With and without the pole.
New adoptable base! I wanted to something quick fun and silly. I have no solid plans on how long I’ll run these or if I’ll make versions of other breeds, but if things go well, we’ll see!

Yayaya my first custom accent went through! :D I have 2 spare copies I’ve put up on the AH for 400g if anyone is interested in it as well!
Now if the dragon I made this for could. Be a dear and. Have more than one egg with his mate at a time. : ) So he can have his canon kids before I breed change him : )))
