I’m Cryin.

So I commissioned someone who is NOT on Fr and don’t knows the site to draw Kain a while ago. Yesterday while I wasn’t pying attention they accepted. Took the ref and finished today.

And i come to my Inbox to find a picture of HD april fools Kain drawn for me.  THIS IS NOT WHAT I WANTED.

At the same time I can’t blame the person at all because they thought this was his legitimate fucking ref I’m weeping. Its such bad timing it’s hilarious. 

[rothkindfr]

As many were curious, this is what I got.The Artist is ArctursDracon on dA. Praise this absolutely precious person having tried their earnest to make HD Kain look Cool.

[rothkindfr]

Tomorrow is the day guys!

Happy 4th Anniversary HD Kain, may you continue to be the face of excellent timing.

[rothkindfr]

Bruh it’s been 5 years and I still think about HD Kain on occasion. 

[shiansfrstuff]

Happy Birthday HD Kain! The art is still awesome. :)

Strength is not always physical.

“The strong survive, the weak perish.” is a mantra often attributed to the Scarred Wasteland. Only the physically strongest survive, the most resilient. Those born with weaknesses will not make it. Yet, the idea that only the most powerful dragons survive in the hostile Plaguelands is a myth. Strength does not come from physical prowess. It may help, but that is not what strength is within Plague.

Strength is not power, it’s adaptability. It’s survival. It’s thriving within a hostile land. Strength is using your keen senses to guide friends to food. Strength is working together so that all may prosper within your clan. Strength is surviving despite the darkness within your mind. Strength is accepting a lost limb and finding a whole new way to move. Strength is the willingness to change for the better, and the refusal to change simply because someone commands it.

Power is temporary. When your empire inevitably crumbles to dust you are left with nothing. After all, a one-track mind leads to ruin. But when you trust in your skills no matter what they are, embrace change as it comes, aid those you love, and stay true to your beliefs, then you will not only survive, but you will thrive. And you will be strong.

[shiansfrstuff]

Can someone buy something please? I’m close to making another payment. got older dragons that don’t fit my lore anymore, good g1s with scries, idk.

[shiansfrstuff]

Want rare dragons?

Damn my lair is a hot mess. Dragons I bought just to spend gems! Double maize 6 digit, double 1st gens, primal 1st gens… all dead weight now.

Help a gal out and poke through my lair and make an offer on something? Non lore tab, projects tab, Dropbox in main are all fair game.

there’s probably some lore kids farther down the page that have nothing in the description box I’m fine with letting go, just send me a pm or something.

I‘m Shian on FR.

There’s gotta be some really gross, obnoxious sea gulls on the border between the sea of a thousand currents and the scarred wasteland.

Hey mind if I just

[badfrideas]

The staff add a dragon “chat” feature which is just a gossip page between your dragons. Your mirror and your emperor are in a love triangle. You cannot make any comments on this and can only watch the drama. This feature effects absolutely nothing outside of the chat.

[starwood-stranded]

I liked this idea so much that I made a generator to produce random drama for dragons in your lair.

[gaolerz]

Can u guys show me any of ur dragons with maize primary or secondary it is my least favorite color and I want to see if or how anyone’s worked with it 

[shiansfrstuff]

Dragon.

[flightrising]

Tell me you like dragons without actually telling me you like dragons.

[shiansfrstuff]

[grozen-fr]

Do you ever wonder...?

[shiansfrstuff]

Oh, sure. People are all, “How wonderful it is, the God breathes life into every dragon!”

Then they get all huffy when they learn the how and suddenly everyone gets wigged out and offended!

You just can’t win. What did you expect here?

[ruffled-serpent]

What would you drop if you were defeated in the coliseum?

I'd drop cheese sticks and trail mix

[hungrytundras]

A half finished lore book and a pissed off ghost.

[shiansfrstuff]

A crow pin and a roll of washi tape.

exhaustion

if there was a way to just buy everything for rl money i’d just drop money into this game to be done with the amount of effort i’ve put into it over the years, seriously. i’m so tired of the grind, the hustle, the effort to breed this new combo so i can make money while it’s still profitable, the grind for this material and that familiar, the constant amount of work it takes when all i want to do on this site, my main interest, my chief investment, is just to collect, dress up, and decorate shiny dragons. i don’t want to camp for restocks so i can get a gene without having to pay a scalper on the auction house. i don’t want to grind for festival currency for literal hours anymore, i’m tired of how much effort this game takes to just maintain my lair- the hibernal den and feeding dragons individually was literally a lifesaver and i will never stop being grateful for them, but i’m tired. i’m tired of it all but i can’t quit, either, because the seasonality of everything means that if i’m not constantly on top of this game, i’ll miss out on things that will be a pain to get later on. every time i’ve taken a break i’ve regretted it because it’s that much more work to get back on top of things, if i even can at all- i’ve missed out on some game-changing stuff by being away when it happened, and it just adds to my anxiety about taking a break again. i nearly missed the obelisks. it literally never ends. i guess i’m burned out, but i enjoy the part of the game that i originally came here for… i’m not some new player whining about having to save and work for the things i want, i’ve been here since year 2 and i’ve enjoyed watching the game grow- even as i’ve winced at the missteps along the way. the game has grown a lot over the years, for better and for worse, but… this game is like being in a pressure cooker, and while i enjoyed the satisfaction of working for everything i have, now i struggle to keep making the same effort.   i don’t even want everything for free- i could just scry it all and save the images if i did- i just wish it was… less constant, demanding effort. it’s draining. this site is draining to play, not fun, and sometimes i really do consider just dropping a shitton of money to buy gems so i can finally get it over with and buy my way to contentment, but i don’t want to be that kind of person. if it comes to that wouldn’t it be better to just stop playing? it’s not like i’m rich, and it’s not really going to solve the issue that i’ll keep having to spend to get things if i do that, unless i want to go back to the grind… i like the dragons, i love dressing them up and everything. but i’m so tired of the pressure and hassle of every other feature of this site. and that’s not to say the people who still like it are wrong, i’m not criticizing anyone, i’m speaking only for me. and i know someone in the comments will say “i’ve been playing for three days and now have a full set of sprites and a gen 1 imperial, work harder” but i’m not complaining that things are too hard to get, i’m complaining that the process of getting those things makes me feel like a sentient bitcoin miner chipping away at an algorithm to extract a fraction of dragon cash so i continue playing the parts of the game i enjoy. i’m tired. i’m just so fucking burned out on the mechanics of this game, but i can’t stop, either. 

[shiansfrstuff]

Honestly I felt this way about chicken smoothie. I stopped trying to collect everything each and every month and to make sure that stuck, I Marie Kondo’ed my entire collection. No more keeping things for the sake of trying to collect everything. Then I cut down my hoards. Mostly the expensive ones people kept giving me shit for having.

Now the game feels much less like a chore but I’m also finding that it is not the same game I fell in love with and it’s time for me to move on.

It was a much easier decision now that I had taken a few steps toward that.

I know full well the fear of leaving or taking a break from something you’ve worked hard at. In my case, for over a decade.

New breed!

I’m just happy there’s an earth breed with CLAWS. and TEETH.

Not.. a beak and awkward turtle feetpads so they can’t use most of the apparel in the game.

I’m almost looking forward to it’s encyclopedia entry but as usual, there’s a dragon that eats seafood that nowhere near water so I really shouldn’t pretend I’ll be impressed with it.

[gimmethemprimals]

Hey reblog this post with your least favorite color on the Flight Rising color wheel and explain why in the tags.
