Home Of The Best Hoard™ For Dragon Courting

People ask me, "Jack, are you really serious about this?" to which I reply "Mind your own damn business." But yes, I am. My reasoning is simple and as follows: either dragons vibe with this and I'm about to maximize my chances at getting with one, or they don't and I still have the hoard. Either way, I win.

An Antique Tea Cabinet

She’s an antique from the period of 1940-1950, from an unknown country but most likely the Netherlands. With double doors and a removable top that can serve as a, well, serving tray, she lives up to her name.

Made to showcase tea sets and/or similar expensive drinking ware, I use her to store my tea collection, which has some good stuff in it itself.

Antiques are a natural extension of any dragon hoard, but make sure you always know what you’re buying. Mine is in almost a pristine condition and was sold to me for far less than she was worth, but I wasn’t going to point the seller to that fact. When purchasing an item, you’ll want to make sure it either doesn’t have any major defects, or haggle the price down accordingly.

And as always, while wood can be a beautiful addition to any hoard, do make sure you’re observing proper fire safety, yes?

Silver Plated Inkwells

A twin pair of inkwells set into a desk stand from the 1960’s, England. Pictured too is a dip pen with a removable nib and both black as well as UV ink.

Purchased from an antique dealer.

Writing tools are often a good inclusion for a hoard due to both the elegance with which some items are made and the intrinsic romance of handwritten items. What better to write a love note with, than a pen and inkwell that would turn any dragon’s head?

Cethosia Biblis, The Red Lacewing

A red lacewing butterfly mounted in a double-glass frame. This butterfly was purchased from a specialist store who guarantees the ethical acquisition of their specimens. This particular butterfly died a natural death in a butterfly garden before being prepped, mounted, and sold. Other red lacewings would have been released into the wild to bolster numbers of the species.

Always source your hoard items ethically and responsibly if you’re going to include animal materials that require the death of an animal.

So I'm not really wise in the ways of dragon fucking, so what actually constitutes as a "fuckable dragon" and what doesn't?

A dragon you are attracted to and has enough mental capacity to consent. That's it. Whether your fantasies include actual consent is irrelevant. Whether fucking the dragon can injure or kill you is irrelevant. Whether the fucking in question is logistically possible is, and I cannot stress this enough, irrelevant.

If you want to court a dragon you’ve got to tell us more about yourself. Not every dragon is impressed by jewels 😤😤😤😤 /lh

If you think I’m looking for love online, you’ve got another thing coming 😝

Y’all get the documentation of the gathering as I use this as my own personal archive, I ain’t foolish enough to use a tumblr blog as a dating advertisement. I may be a hopeless romantic, but a fool? Never.

A Mounted Papilio Blumei, Or Peacock Swallowtail

A beautiful specimen mounted inside double glass with a black silk frame. The specimen was purchased from a specialist store who guarantees the ethical acquisition of their specimens. This particular swallowtail died a natural death in a butterfly garden from where it was purchased by the show owner, prepped, mounted, and sold to me.

When purchasing specimens such as this, always ensure that they came from an ethical and sustainable source.

A Jellyfish Presse-Papier

A solid glass presse-papier with a bubble motif frozen inside in the shape of a jellyfish. Beautifully elegant and solid of weight, it’s a wonderful addition to my hoard.

It was gifted to me by a family member.

A Lot Of Cubic Zirconia

Twelve synthetic cubic zirconia in various colors, all brilliant cut. They’re all of various sizes and color gradients, but no less beautiful for it.

I purchased these from an accredited jeweler.

A Quartet Of Cabochon Rubies

This quartet of synthetic rubies was each cut into a pillow shape with a cabochon finish. With a nice, deep red coloring and beautiful fluorescence under blacklight, I’m quite happy with my purchase. Some of the stones have minor imperfections, but nothing that impacts their beauty.

I purchased these from an accredited jeweler.

A Trio Of Citrine

A trio of synthetic citrine, with one brilliant cut, one cushion cut, and one oval cut. Two of them are a lovely golden yellow, while the brilliant exhibits a darker, smokey yellow. All three are free of imperfections, as is typical for synthetic stones.

I purchased these from an accredited jeweler.

A Trio Of Peridots

A trio of synthetic peridots, containing two different oval cuts and one brilliant. Each is a lovely pale shade of green that peridots are so famous for, and of great size. Notably, all are free of imperfections.

I purchased these from an accredited jeweler.

Carved And Polished Amber

A piece of choice round amber, polished to a mirror shine cabochon, with a pale rosebud carved into its center. The edge is ringed with small facets, creating a beautiful ring around the carving. This has to be one of the most interesting gemstones I own at the moment, and I think it makes a lovely centerpiece to my collection.

[operation-dragon-courting]

My lack of a good needle-point tweezer is the only thing stopping me from making you all ragingly jealous with my haul in synthetic gemstones and one choice carved amber piece and once I’ve got one it’s all over for you bitches

…I first saw this several years ago and suddenly a lot of my recent interests are put in a brand new light.

Synthetic gemstones are one of the greatest inventions ever created for magpies and dragons alike and nothing compares to getting rubies and brilliant-cut zircons all but on a buck a piece

[operation-dragon-courting]

No slave labor, perfect clarity, perfect color, and big enough to turn any dragon’s eye, what more could you possibly want?

A Labradorite Miniature

Created by the lovely and wonderful @letmeinimafairy, this is a wonderous depiction of an aurora dragon flying over its arctic territory, the aurora being the masterfully integrated shine of the labradorite itself. My first commission from them, but certainly not the last if I have anything to say about it, and a beautiful addition to my hoard.

OP where is the dog is he a good boy @operation-dragon-courting

[operation-dragon-courting]

Oh no. I’m afraid you’re very mistaken, friend. Labradorite is the name of the gemstone used, not a sweet doggo. That being said, as a consolation, I do have a doggo of my own.

She likes to steal my best chair and wuff at me until I give in and also put her favorite pillow down.
