Is the color wheel a thing?

Like in universe??

Are there pedigree experts running around sornieth with color swatches, turning around newborns as they hatch and marking their colors and eyetypes in the same manner that we generally take down sex height and weight at birth? Squinting at a little hatchling and tasked with discerning if that’s no tert or a very faint Smoke Gene and if this child will actually have the privilege of an “XXX” on her birth certificate

It's really odd how FR content straddles the line between fan work and original work.

I've never been a part of fandom before. I've never written fic or done a lot of fanart (if you don't count drawings of cartoon characters from when I was very very young which I think fall into a different category)

And then flight rising happened and suddenly... this?

And the biggest part of that I think is that it's fan work, yes. It comes from a canon that we all share. But these are my characters. All of them. All their personalities are mine. Their stories are all mine. These are all my OCs 100% and I can treat them that way.

Plus I get the boost in exposure for having the FR tag to post into.

It's very interesting, all of this...
