Listen, I’m pretty sure I have your lair memorized at this point. When you boot dragons for sale I play the game of ‘which perma was this’ and oftentimes I’m right, and when I’m not I get myself all confused. Now, we got 12 dragons to do, let’s go take a dive! @pumpkin-bread
Let’s start with Hazel! Listen, I love pearl, I love pearl striation, I did not expect it to work with friggen stone, and eldritch is a damn hard tert color unless the dragon is green or blue. The fact that she works is a gotdang miracle, and she’s solidly a favourite in the nuzlocke, too!
This is Zuehal. We know nothing about him other than he is the resident NPC. But I’m gonna give him a shoutout anyway because this man clearly has a story he’s not telling, and my queer detection unit is ringing with “that is a GAY DRAGON” and keeps me wondering where he’s hiding his stellar backstory and probable boyfriend. I see you, NPC guy. I see you and I know there’s more to you than Kai is currently telling me.
Ahhh, Ezekiel. I didn’t actually catch when Flores left other than he did (and it’s understandable why out-of-lore), but this? This is a good dragon. I have no idea when Kai bought him but the idea of a neato necromancer teacher is brilliant. And that’s how I ended up with Byaku and Albafica in my lair, because now I was thinking about necromancers in FR and not the ‘wooo I wear dark robes with skulls on them and green fire’ kind, so Thanks To This Guy I have two more dragons in my lair. You’ll still be a favourite, Zeke. Great name, by the way, I named a cat that once.
Mistfall, or in reality, That Stubborn Girl Who Just Wouldn’t Leave. Radioactive’s a damn difficult colour, even I don’t like it even though I can appreciate its rainbow potential, but Kai did a good job making it work anyway! Now if she had glowing green clawtips, maybe it’d balance it out a bit and make her look Even More Stunning. She’s beautiful, she really is. I love her.
Rosalyn’s been in Amberspire for a long, long time, and she’s still absolutely gorgeous, and even more her story’s so saaaad. She needs a happy ending. I really hope she gets one, she’s beautiful and so is her artwork. Still love the apparel, fpose coatls are notoriously annoying to me to dress because of their funny shoulder area that I can never get right - yet, she looks amazing! I envy that, definitely.
We’re apparently halfway through, so let’s go with Ylva who got a new accent, I see! At least, I don’t remember her having that one. I love her, she’s very good, but I also know for a fact that this is an Evil Woman. I don’t know how she’s evil, but she is, there is quotation marks around her job and that means she is definitely not a hostess but something evil posing as one. I do not trust her. She is beautiful. I love her.
Ahhh, Lux. I’m still kinda mad at myself since I didn’t go get one of her kids when I had the chance, but she’s absolutely beautiful. I really love her accent and the way her pri and tert match like that, she’s gorgeous. The kelpie manes really were necessary for her and I especially love the double wing silks. I don’t remember who taught me how to layer them (it was someone layering gossamer+crimson to make the unreleased pink silks) but goddamn, when they work they work. I really love the PC fpose because they look a little like they’re praying, and Lux fits that really well, since she’s in mourning. I love her. She needs a hug.
NEAR MY BABY. The last time I checked in with Telyn, Near, and Wil; Telyn got himself kidnapped again - did he make it back home? Their bios don’t say. But Near is a very good boy and I love him, and he makes a great father. Plus he’s blind and still a warrior, which is awesome. His bio doesn’t actually tell his side of Telyn’s story, and I’m interested in seeing that for sure. Especially with how collected he is, how he reacted to the whole ‘you’re taking my husband away yet again to your shade cult’ thing. I wanna see what this boy is made of!
I am gotdang predictable, and I will never, ever, ever review this lair without mentioning My Baby Girl Althea. I know the nuzlocke is the main plot right now, but I wanna know what she’s been up to soooo much. Because we did establish that Annabella did learn at Tialla’s dance school so even though Althea wasn’t much in the picture, there’s no way Tialla wouldn’t look at her and immediately know she was Up To Something. I wanna know. I wanna see the showdown between her and Nihil (who I still don’t get because he doesn’t appear to have a soft spot, except he does, somehow?) and I want to know who Jacquara throws a pumpkin and a yell to calm down at first. Althea is My Girl. I am very honoured to have her daughter as mine.
Tialla is another favourite girl of mine! Her story is heartbreaking and absolutely perfect, and I want to know definitely if she ever finds her family again! She’s brilliantly complex and I really love her. I don’t have much to say on her other than ‘arhgahga she’s perfect’, but like, she is though.
Ahhh, Cassis, a new boy to help support an impulse buy. I know that feeling very well. I can tell he’s gonna have a plot, and I only wonder what he let escape by accident and why it killed his power. I’m so ready for that plot, I really am. He’s absolutely beautiful, and while I’m not the biggest fan of stained, it probably is the only way rose will work on a double thicket. He’s really beautiful, and I just can’t wait to see what happens.
Lastly, well, there was never a way that I’d do this review without mentioning Gidget. I barely knew Kizzy, but... I’m glad I did get to know you, a little bit. Your birthday is in a few days, so... Thank you for the time you spent with us. I’m glad that the dragon you wanted so much ended up with someone who loved you as much as Kai does, so in a way, Gidget is yours too. Gidget is beautiful, and what has been done with her even more so. I can’t say for sure, but I think you’d be happy with that. I hope you rest well. Thank you, for your time with us. We’ll always be thinking of you. <3
And that’s that! 12 dragons (hopefully, I went back and counted but might be off) - which is a very difficult feat with the 200 someodd dragons Kai has that I know of. But I did manage to narrow it down in the end, so here we are! :D
toonetta replied to your post: “i’d pay like 1000g for a full lair review, 2kg if you do it as a video...”:
I would totally do this LOL
A full review with screen capture and you talking? :O :D? I just like to see the dragon and watching the persons mouse hover over the accent or scrolling down the page or circling around art or bits of the dragon, thus why i want a video haha. hell it doesnt even need to be every single dragon im just very excited hhuhuhuhu...
@pumpkin-bread i’m totally happy to pay for a non video too, i like how you write so happy to read your stuff~ And when you’re feeling up to it too!
