sort of turning this into a generic sfw furry blog + petsite blog because furry content doesn’t always fit on my other blogs so if i reblog your non fr dragons i know they aren’t fr i just like dragons

i usually forget to tag posts unless i am the op but let me know if you need something tagged like a FR gene or something. i do not post sexual content or heavy gore but there could be blood or mentions of death. this is a sideblog i'd rather my main not be associated with my FR account because of nsfw jokes and posting about world events and whatnot. also i am 26 if that matters.

my icon is by juga of my dragon wearing "trilateral" by batfossil

Drew a revised design for fanthoms because the current art direction on fr with modern breeds

People have been nicer than i am, but I'll be blunt: undel (and whichever extra artists are working on these breeds, if theres any) have an extremely limited visual library when it comes to animals, how their features works, or just shapes in general. The fact our cetacean dragon has the same body type as a pearlcatcher or mirror is insane!! it shows lack of creativity and care to developing the concept.

Right now, dragons are picked to fit in one of the 3 body types (generic dog body with lizard head western dragon, wyvern and tube), and then random decals are slapped on this mold to make them look unique. Theres no shape variation, no care at going "which animals fit this concept, how can we apply the features of these animals?". no research, just superficial flavorless dragon design. you dont need to be a biologist to spend a few minutes at a wikipedia looking at animals and mythology and studying what makes these animals themselves, how their species works, what features they have!!!

And even if you don't want to study animals, why is there no shape study? why are 90% of dragons slightly top heavy tubes with the pick of slender face and smushed face. They lack shape design, and refuse to elaborate on the animal influences to create stronger features than just random horns/frills/fur. its making me insane

anyway here's a merrigan

As much as I want to be understanding of the wacky legalities when it comes to potential harm to children (even if those are pixel dragon children), the hatchling skin moderation update really rubs me the wrong way.

Initially when I read the post the thing that irked me the most was the part about Lolita fashion. I don't care about zombies, and I get why scars might be considered an issue (even if the majority of scars I personally have came from various dumb shit I did as a kid)... but Lolita fashion?

I'm sure there are some people who find it hot, but people find all kind of things hot. Should we ban teacher and nurse themed dragons next out of fear that some people might get off to them?

But either way. The longer I think about it, the more I'm irked by the whole base statement that permababies are literal children. Like, what the fuck is up with that? They literally wrote:

"content that communicates visually or through the title/name that the hatchling is an adult in a child's body, etc."

Staff... By your own site's mechanics they ARE an adult in a child's body. Hatchlings are children for the first 5 days of their life, and even the rarest breeds become consenting adults after 35 days out of the egg.

With the way the system works, you won't be able to put skins on literal babies — only on eternally youthful dragons. And eternally youthful dragons are basically any old dragon + 350 gems.

Decade old dragon + 350 gems = permababy.

A dragon with a laundry list of children + 350 gems = permababy.

If you're uncomfortable about the fact that eternally youthful dragons can be perceived as children — update the writing on the scrolls and affected dragons. Make a post to talk in detail about how those dragons are adults. Do literally anything but come out and say "by our site's standards this dragon of yours that has been bred to hell and back and is a proud great-great-grandma by now is a literal child uwu". Idk about yall, but to me that sounds like a way worse implication than any usermade Lolita skin a moderator might have the misfortune to look at.

the '888 animal skins' cinematic universe receives a sequel

[the-chattering-tower]

i think it would be really nice if they stopped making ancients after every flight has one (and maybe one flightless one to satisfy those who really want one of those i guess)

every time i look at the release pace for ancients and think about what the scrying workshop will look like two years from now if things keep on like this, i feel despair

[windows98-fr]

this is why i get so annoyed when people bring up how LONG it takes to make modern breeds and that its just SO MUCH art to draw and etc etc

Like. You don’t think maybe making entirely new dragons with their own unique genes every 6 months plays into that? And then converting new genes to those dragons every so often? And then fixing their errors? You don’t think having to un-spaghettify their website after the marketplace/AH/scrying workshop fiasco slows them down?

Ive said it before- staff was incredibly shortsighted with the introduction of ancients way back to goalers and they did not really think through all the kinks that would occur and as usual take far too long to fix it

[clansnaphance]

I'm really not vibing with whatever staff is doing now. Not only does there seem to be a total internal communication breakdown, there also seems to be an absolute disregard for how the players are affected by this.

Like, ignoring the fact that the consistency argument doesn't even hold water, their takeaway from the Fern/Paisley thread seems to have been "oh we gotta change Breakup and Hypnotic too!!"

And then completely reversing Sandsurge Blend on top of that? A gene that's been out for over half a year and was only listed as having the gradient softened, not reversed? Just a total failure to communicate and an absolute bullheadedness in pushing the changes through despite the very reasonable player concerns?

To top it all off, none of these are bug changes, they are style changes. Someone saw these genes before they went live, greenlighted them, and put them in the game. And now, months upon months later, someone else (presumably) says "fuck that, I want the gene to look like this instead" and that complete change is just... pushed through??

Like. Did they learn nothing from the Butterfly debacle, from Obelisk Flair, hell, from the Eyepocalypse?

What the fuck is going on behind the scenes?
