Fodder/Exalting

Can I buy this fodder dragon?
No.

But you're going to exalt it anyway??
Yeah.

But it's 3+ years old?
I don't care unless it's 7 digits or under.

But it's a g1?
I don't care.

But it's a special ID?
I don't care.

-insert other thing about the dragon-
I don't care.

Why do you name your fodder Sorry?
The random name generator gave it to me one day and I stuck with it because I liked it. It's not spiteful or passive aggressive or me being mean. I literally just thought it was funny. I won't rename them, it's not my fault if you sell them unnamed. It is not my responsibility to take care of your offspring lists.

I'm going to report you for being mean and not doing as I say.
Have fun with that. As per site rules, once a dragon is in my lair it's mine and I can do as I please with it.

-insert coli-based question here-
Mire Flyer and mental illness. Beyond that, I'm sorry, but I don't have the energy or patience to explain how I coli, what builds I use, how I train so fast, etc. If you want to learn about the coli, check the guides forum instead.

I think I am an exception to this or anything else written here so I'm going to message you anyway.
Intentionally disrespecting my wishes and boundaries by doing so makes me even less likely to consider your message.


Sales

If you have to ask, the answer is no.

Is your boolean--
Stop. No. Not ever, for anything.

Can I buy this dragon?
Only if it's on the AH. Otherwise, no.

Can you ping me if you sell x dragon?
No, don't try to get dibs on people's permas out of the blue. It's very rude.

Can you haggle, accept trades, do holds or payment plans, or take alternative currencies?
Unless stated otherwise in a thread or bio, no.

Can I send a CR for an AH listing to save you the AH fee?
I appreciate the thought, but please don't. On top of CRs being glitchy, I have a laggy hoard and hundreds of listings at any given time. Please buy from the AH instead.

Are you planning on breeding x?
If it's in my hatchery, yes. Be patient. I don't always breed immediately when they come off cooldown.
If it's not in my hatchery, no, don't ask.

How much for hatchlings from x pair? Can I get a ping?
Check my hatchery. Everything is there.

How do you manage to sell dragons for such high prices?
Honestly I don't know how I'm getting away with that either.

Accents??
- I deleted my thread bc I wasn't using it and knowing I should be using it was lowkey stressing me out. Also it's a lot of maintenace.
- All my accents are unlimited unless otherwise stated in the database comments. If they're not on the AH, let me know. I may have either run out or forgot to relist them.
- I take treasure for my own accents at 1:1200. Delivery via PA only, so no mixed payment.

Communication

Why don't you like they/them pronouns?
On the contrary, I have no issue with they/them pronouns as a whole! I'm happy to use them for other people. However, please be conscious that not everyone uses they/them pronouns.

People are more willing to use my dragons' pronouns than they are to use my pronouns and it doesn't feel good. On bad days, it actually makes my dysphoria a lot worse. If you don't know my pronouns, that's fine, but if you do, please use them! Respecting trans people and their pronouns requires respecting their individual pronouns, not blanket they/theming everyone all of the time. You wouldn't use xe/xem on someone who doesn't use those pronouns even though they're neutral, so you shouldn't do the same thing with they/them.

In the (translated) words of Satsuki Nakayama, "Being neutral is not enough. Please let me be a man."

Mistakes are normal, but please learn from them and try to respect other people!

None of this applies to when you don't know someone's pronouns and use they/them. Please continue doing that.

Do you have a preference between he/ae pronouns?
Nope! Either one is completely fine with me and I don't prefer one over the other.

Tone markers?
I don't use them because I don't know what most of them mean and I'm a straightforward person to begin with, but I'll try if you ask. I prefer they not be used on me. It makes me feel talked down to.

Why didn't you answer my message?
Either your question or request was already covered here, or I forgot. In the former case, your message will continue going unanswered because reading is a thing. In the latter, feel free to resend if it's important.

Alternatively, it just didn't need a response. I have low social energy so I typically don't respond to PMs unless I have to. I'm not mad, I just want to go back to bed.

Can I ask you [x gameplay/economy/etc.] question?
You can but I probably won't have the energy to answer.

Why did you delete my profile comment?
Because I didn't want it there. Most of the time, it's because of asking something answered here (you get the idea at this point), thanking me for fodder (makes me anxious you're going to come back and harass me later), nest rental-related (just cleaning it up!) or misgendering my dragons (feels bad).

Why did you ignore my profile comment?
I actually didn't, even if I never replied. I read every comment and I greatly appreciate the nice words people leave me! My brain just throws 404 errors when I try to think of a response.

Your lore is problematic.
Tell me what's wrong with it! The last thing I want to do is offend or disrespect people and I'm happy to rework or even remove lore altogether if needed. I'm also happy to clarify anything that may be unclear, since I'm aware that a lot of my lore is scattered around in different bios with bulletpoints and most things haven't been written down.

I do take inspiration from cultures that are not my own, but I try my best to do so from a place of respect, interest, and admiration and do as much research as I can before doing something. If I've done something wrong, please tell me asap so I can fix it, I can't fix what I'm not aware of!

Can we chat?
I'd rather you just left me alone unless you need me, to be entirely honest. I have very limited social energy and 1-on-1 conversations drain it very quickly.

Will you accept my friend request?
Probably not. I keep my friends list small and limited to friends I often interact with. Don't send me random friend requests. It's annoying.

Why did you block me?
Ignoring the fact you shouldn't even be reading this in that case, the most common reasons are:

• You have a history of being transphobic, homophobic, ace-exclusionary, racist, sexist, anti-BLM, a terf, a neonazi, or anything similar to these.
• You are overly rude or aggressive in your posts.
• You have a history of scamming, harassment, spamming, stalking, manipulation, or abuse.
• You have "daddy" in your username. Sorry, it's nothing against you, but it makes me indescribably uncomfortable and I don't want to see it at all, ever.
• You failed the vibe check for reasons I may or may not even be aware of and make me uncomfortable to be around.

Do remember that attempting to bypass or call out blocks is considered harassment.

Misc.

Are you ever going to sell your boolean?
No.

Are you going to loan it?
No.

I really want to awaken it though.
Get cozy with Fiona.

Can I copy your dragons?
While taking inspiration is perfectly normal, if you opt to essentially copy/paste a 20-item outfit, I'm gonna be weirded out and block you.

Can you stud out your dragons for me?
Absolutely not.

Are you okay with likes?
Yes! I have no problem with people giving likes to my dragons. Amalia especially enjoys them.

Can I have free handouts?
No. Earn your own things instead of begging.

Why are all bone fiends lesbians?
Why not?

Why are you like this?
If I'm not like this, I'm stuck answering the same messages and questions all day. It's more tiring than you may expect. Also, don't harass people if you want them to be nice.
