Dragon Share

@Tria If your plate isn't terribly full, I'd love a lair and hatchery review! ;u; I can send payment anytime (10k, right, since it's two reviews?), I just don't want to overburden you if you've already got a full list.

@cgeez, it would just be 5k -- any special requests like a hatchery look-over get put in the "Closing comments" part :) It's up to you when you want to sign up, because if I'm overburdened I'll just take a month to get to people, so the inconvenience is more on everyone else xD Judging from my schedule this week though, I'll definitely have my current list cleared by the end of the week.

@Tria Then I'll send you a PM now! :D I'm excited!

@Tria
I'd love to get the 5k Ridiculous option~ and since I don't have a hatchery or anything, no need to worry about that. No advice of any kind needed either, unless you'd like to give apparel suggestions! I'll go ahead and send payment too. c:

[b]Current Ordered List[/b] [i]with shiny new time estimates![/i] WhiteSparrow - done CrypticGirl - later tonight Minnow - later tonight or tomorrow azrielen - tomorrow Dagmaar - tomorrow or wednesday Lix - wednesday cgeez - after that SketchySituation - after that Bayhound - after that - guaranteed by next Sunday ---------------------- [b]@WhiteSparrow - 5k ridiculous mode[/b] Overall: I'm going to take this opportunity to foolishly ramble about how cool it is doing these reviews. I've seen so much variety in colors, genes, apparel, combinations I wouldn't necessarily have come across during my usual browsing of the site. I've even come to kind of like Snappers through my early attempts to find nice things to say about them anyway. So much beautiful diversity, it makes my eyes get all watery and emotiony. I've also gotten really great at spotting Flight-traitors, coughShadowProgenscough. I mena that in the nicest possible way, of course n_n [url=http://flightrising.com/main.php?dragon=561686] [img]http://flightrising.com/rendern/350/5617/561686_350.png[/img] [/url] Love-love-[i]loving[/i] Kasindrae's red and goldness. Well I mean crimson and banana because GAH COLORWHEEL makes vague color descriptors misleading. Anyway Kasindrae is super pretty, her apparel is perfect, and by some strange fae magic her eyes actually look yellow instead of green. Possibly that's my monitor, or my fail eyesight, but it looks great to me! Wind is a much more versatile green than Nature. Three guesses why I picked Kasindrae first and if you don't guess "flowerfall," you haven't been reading these reviews for very long. [url=http://flightrising.com/main.php?dragon=2100775] [img]http://flightrising.com/rendern/350/21008/2100775_350.png[/img] [/url] I'm predisposed to adore [b]Flamenco[/b] because aqua range/gold range or vice-versa dragons are my earliest favorites. Have I talked about my custom progen yet today? Certainly I've talked enough about her already so I will refrain from continuing in that vein now. Flamenco looks super cool and stylized because both aqua and gold have very dark accent tones in the treasure genes, so he looks super-outlined. "super" is my word of the day. [url=http://flightrising.com/main.php?dragon=768642] [img]http://flightrising.com/rendern/350/7687/768642_350.png[/img] [/url] [b]Constellaenea[/b] proves the value of apparel in really tying together an all-basic dragon. The red accessories are great as a consistent accent color, and I really love how the darkened scars mimic the lines of the wingpiece. Also I love how FR logic considers scars to be apparel, it's either amusing or empowering or supremely messed up depending on how you think of it. [url=http://flightrising.com/main.php?dragon=207675] [img]http://flightrising.com/rendern/350/2077/207675_350.png[/img] [/url] And [b]Emberra[/b], unfortunately, proves that random apparel just accomplishes nothing. I'd say switch the brown birdskull helmet for either a blue or white one?The gloves go well with her wings, it's just the brown feathers throwing me off. [i]She went through so many hardships as a hatchling, how could you put an un-matchy hat on her now....[/i] [url=http://flightrising.com/main.php?dragon=1323835] [img]http://flightrising.com/rendern/350/13239/1323835_350.png[/img] [/url] Okay now this is NOT FAIR, I was all prepared to bash on [b]Ourobos's[/b] random aqua bow but then when I clicked to his profile I saw the CRIMSON EMPEROR FAMILIAR which if y'all are clueless is WHITE and RED and AQUA so now all of a sudden everything coordinates great and the bow ties the whole thing together and I'm just so upset because I had all these great insults to toss around but now they're completely invalid. Plus matching Lightning eyes, how disgustingly beautiful. Closing comments: I like your tumblr! I don't use tumblr any more, though, so you'll just have to pretend I followed you or liked a few posts or something, idek.

[b]Current Ordered List[/b] CrypticGirl Minnow azrielen Dagmaar Lix cgeez SketchySituation Bayhound --------------------- [b]@CrypticGirl - 5k ridiculous mode[/b] Overall: I admire a person who boldly states that they basically make no attempt at organization. Your dragons must be very confused, and I hear that many hatchling breeds do better with routine and structure in their lives, but I suppose this is all right. You are the invisible demigod managing the clan and toying with their lives, so they need to just get used to the confusion. [url=http://flightrising.com/main.php?dragon=541809] [img]http://flightrising.com/rendern/350/5419/541809_350.png[/img] [/url] *quietly screaming* woolly coat layered over cape, oh my goodness, why have I sold every cape I've ever acquired, there is a way to make them look [i]so much better[/i] that I had ever imagined. [b]Usha[/b] is totally rocking this whole ensemble. She is also level 25, I approve of progens who are well-dressed and well-trained. (also, WOW you lucked out, I can't tell which is your random and which is your custom) Needs sakura or violet flowerfall, but I have faith in you. I know you were just about to get around to it. [url=http://flightrising.com/main.php?dragon=2441110] [img]http://flightrising.com/rendern/350/24412/2441110_350.png[/img] [/url] [b]Melvara's[/b] splash gembond is one of the craziest things I've seen all week, it literally looks like massive water droplets clinging to her. I love it so much. You have so many great mirrors, it's cray cray. Is this going to become a Mirror-only review???? [url=http://flightrising.com/main.php?dragon=1775036] [img]http://flightrising.com/rendern/350/17751/1775036_350.png[/img] [/url] Nope, cuz you've got [b]Yaari[/b] huddling over on the back page. Trying to avoid the squalling mirror children, I can relate. He is a [i]cutie[/i] and would look super with underbelly to bring out the maize tert, but he's great just as he is too. Wildclaws are so awesome in neutral colors, I've said it before and I'm saying it now and I'll definitely say it again. [url=http://flightrising.com/main.php?dragon=520522] [img]http://flightrising.com/rendern/350/5206/520522_350.png[/img] [/url] Okay [b]Qubine[/b] is basically wearing a really bad Aladdin costume. You gotta pick either white or gold accents here, not both (I'd do white cuz the Plague Sprite? But that's just if you've accepted the Love of Matching into your heart today) [url=http://flightrising.com/main.php?dragon=1245486] [img]http://flightrising.com/rendern/350/12455/1245486_350.png[/img] [/url] Okay [b]Silvestra[/b] is gorgeous but I can't help but think you named the Midnight/Silver/Silver dragon [i]Silvestra[/i] because, you know, silver. And I've been sitting here for like five minutes trying to figure out if this was brilliant or awful, and then I mashed it together into the new word "brawful," but that just sounds like feminine undergarments, so I'm just going to put this up here as a monument to my confusion. Closing comments: I still admire your ferocity in the proud display of your children-for-sale in the front of your lair. People like you are slowly going to destigmatize the black market sale of infants in our society. Bravo! :3

[b]@Minnow - 5k ridiculous mode[/b] Overview: All right kids, full disclosure. Minnow is my baby sister, she's about eighteen or twenty or eight or something, so I'm going to go easy on her NOT AT ALL. Currently debating on whether or not I should exclude all the dragons who are parents or offspring of my dragons or otherwise passed through my lair. But that would exclude Selene, Auber, Kestrel and Psyche, Ixion, Ackerman, Mithrandir, Haumea, Eris, I forget all the other ones we randomly bred together last summer. Actually, I've decided that this will be a Very Special Lair Review. I will showcase [i]five[/i] dragons I really like. There's no way that can result in my making embarrassing revelations about my baby sister, right? [url=http://flightrising.com/main.php?dragon=744758] [img]http://flightrising.com/rendern/350/7448/744758_350.png[/img] [/url] Minnow has a bunch of Pern-themed mirrors, of which I will showcase [b]Absinth[/b] because A) she's one of the only ones that hasn't been bizarrely soul-transferred into a new XXY body, and B) she's a 5-month-old parentless dragon virgin, which is pretty impressive for anyone who's into that sort of thing. Unlike me. Absinth has a matching Leafy Moth familiar. More on the moth thing later on. [url=http://flightrising.com/main.php?dragon=266684] [img]http://flightrising.com/rendern/350/2667/266684_350.png[/img] [/url] [b]Ixion[/b] is the best dragon in the world. I'm not sure why Minnow decided that, but once she did, I couldn't really disagree. Ivory is a perfect primary! Spring is a perfect secondary! Faes are pretty darn cute! She's dressed him very stylishly, and his Warcat Protector is very matchy-matchy. I'm concerned at how many of these dang familiar names I have memorized at this point in my life. [url=http://flightrising.com/main.php?dragon=119527] [img]http://flightrising.com/rendern/350/1196/119527_350.png[/img] [/url] If we are going to measure love with money, then Minnow probably loves [b]Ulalume[/b] the most. She's bought spendier dragons since then, but not as a percentage of income. Ula got the PC scroll, tiger, and shimmer from Minnow, plus basic hatchlings were still around 30k at that point. MONEY IS LOVE OKAY PEOPLE. As such, she has supplanted Minnow's progens at the front of the lair. I disapprove of this. Speaking of progens, if you go check out Amethyst and Garnet, you will see that my sister is a filthy flight traitor from Wind to Light. I'm okay with this because that means I can use her Light nests for things bwahahahaaaa [url=http://flightrising.com/main.php?dragon=827518] [img]http://flightrising.com/rendern/350/8276/827518_350.png[/img] [/url] Back in August when basic imps were several hundred thousand treasure, my sister and I hatched a plot to split the cost of two imps, breed them, give her one baby, and sell the other babies to buy a mate for that baby, giving us four imps for the price of two. Then I won a free imp so we ended up with four imps for the price of one + iri + seraph. [b]Selene[/b] is the offspring that Minnow selected, clearly the prettiest from that clutch, and now dressed like a very sophisticated dragon assassin. Dragassin. Selene's true secret name is Scott McCall. [url=http://flightrising.com/main.php?dragon=2437717] [img]http://flightrising.com/rendern/350/24378/2437717_350.png[/img] [/url] Say hi to [b]Mothra![/b] Minnow feels about woolly apparel basically the same way I feel about flowerfalls. This has taught me a lot about how annoying I must seem to everyone else ever in the world. This has also taught me about the depths of my sister's obsession with moths -- I think she may have been a moth in a past life. This would explain a lot about her, like her love of shiny objects, her short attention span, and the weird antennae sprouting from her forehead. Closing comments: Minnow doesn't forum a lot so she does adorable things like "not realizing how expensive Light Sprites have gotten until Tria notices she has one and freaks out."

@Tria Good work! I sent you a PM with some treasure for a ridiculous review. ^^

@Tria

Like I said, with the way dragons randomly shuffle around, I can't be bothered to really organize. Once they fix the bug, then I'll put more effort into organizing. And I never understood why people want their new hatchlings in the back of the lair anyway. Chances are they'll either be sold or exalted within a few days anyway, so I don't see the point.

Yeah, I like the purplish apparel on Usha myself, with some pink. Even though pink tends to blend in with her colors (I try to avoid dressing dragons in apparel that you can't see on them.) But I think the cape makes the pink wooly coat a little more visible on her. (And I think I have a Sakura Flowerfall in my hoard...) And just so you know, Usha is my custom progen, and Grim is my random one. They do make pretty babies. =D

For Qubine, I thought he looked good with the gold gauntlets and boots matching the gold trim on the vest. Do you think he'd look better without the mask? Or should I put a turban on him to really make it a bad Aladdin costume? =P

And you're right, I did name Silvestra for her silver colors. I thought it was brilliant myself. She was a unique hatchling from Usha and Ecliptor, so I wanted something special for her. She truly is a gem to me.

Anyway, those are just my comments. Thank you for the review. =)
