ooh this looks fun!! i see this thread is old but i love things like this ^^
Flight:
Then: Nature
Now: Nature
Colors of my custom progen: Satisfied?
Then: yep, more or less!
Now: yeah, especially with her current look/finally having a tert that works!
Colors of my random progen: Satisfied?
Then: ughhh not really
Now: enough that i wouldn't scatter. he has a cursed tert forever but at least his cry/face is passable
even though i don't like white much as a color anymore. plus it fits his name and lore!
Starting flight:
Nature
Flight(now):
Nature
Satisfied?:
yes!! absolutely <3 i've loved nature ever since i started, and while i've contemplated vacationing before (arcane, lightning, water?) i never felt like anywhere would feel like home as much as nature does. plus i think i'd miss nature too much, even for 6 months ;;
Exalt lair?(yes or no)
Then: not really, but not adamantly against (i accepted it as a thing but did still want my dragons to go to good homes back then)
Now: yeah totally, for profit; not a big dom exalter still, but i can exalt a pretty big handful of dragons when i'm into a push
Opinion on eyeburners?(pretty/ugly)
Then: neat! but never got into it
Now: still neat! prefer xyz eyeburners myself, i have a couple ^^
Your opinion of swimming in(or being rich in)treasure?
Then: well when i started i was gifted 100kt to start by a friend (among many, many other nice gifts from several friends) so i always felt it nice to have a lot of treasure on hand, but i mostly dealt with gems & bought them early on
Now: i like having 2mil t on hand in my vault as a safeguard, and try to profit exalt/fairgrounds/dailies for treasure income when i can, though i primarily deal with gems when buying/selling (treasure is mostly for genes)
as for others, i never had a strong opinion either way while i played; no reason to judge people for how they like to play! (though sometimes there are behaviors i personally don't like seeing/interacting with)
What about gems?
Then: ...i bought 5kg the first week i joined for a perfect fandragon and she's still my icon to this day
Now: i primarily work in gems because the things i like happen to be mostly in gems :'D i sell in gems on the AH and try to build my savings there for things i like. i've managed to get a lot of really nice things that way!
my feelings on gems towards others is the same with treasure!
Favorite/Least Favorite primary gene:
Then: ohhh man, tbh it was probably iri, skink was also up there. as for least favorite, jupiter was a big one lmao
Now: i still love iri but skink is definitely my usual default, though i've always been one for variety and like several genes! pinstripe is definitely a favorite, as is jaguar i do like poison too!. least favorite is really case by case, but it mostly depends on the part. i don't like the faces on wasp, or when you can see the hypnotic on vipera, or the bellies of pinstripe, for example
Favorite/Least Favorite secondary gene:
Then: ooh boy, shimmer and butterfly for sure were my favs! i also liked seraph and peregrine. but i really didn't like hypnotic or saturn, or daub; eyespots was meh
Now: still LOVE butterfly, as well as shimmer, and noxtide. i also like bee and toxin, and still like seraph and peregrine! i still dont like hypnotic or saturn much, though i'll use them occasionally; eye spots and daub i never clicked with. but now i honestly really don't like trail? i ONLY like it on skydancers
and that's why i end up with so many skydancer scries now kjdsgs. i've also never really liked stripes or safari much either
Favorite/Least Favorite tertiary gene:
Then: i LOOOOVED runes, underbelly, and glimmer. can you tell my defaults were iri/shim/ub and skink/butt/runes? LOL. and glimmer was actually the first gene i ever gave a dragon! but otherwise i did like stained! as for least favorite, i don't really think there were any i was really opposed to. smoke i had a hard time with, spines i wasn't super into either
Now: still love runes, underbelly, and glimmer lmao, but honestly capsule is definitely one of my favs now. firefly too! also i do enjoy contour! spines i warmed up to and i can get to work sometimes now and like it where it does ^^ for dislike, tbh peacock is that gene i just can't seem to like anywhere, even if the colors work? i dunno if i have any dragons with it at all. filigree is also a bit tough for me too. but honestly, it's
opal that i think i like the least. i think it's super pretty, but it tends to be paired with really over-popular combinations, and i just... don't really like the art on most poses? or i'll like one bit and not the rest. but on the dragons i do like it on, i REALLY like it on them. my custom progen has it and it's still one of my favorite opals, and i once had a male imp with it and still think male imps have some of the best opal out there, same with male pcs. male wildclaws i like except for the face (they just look... sad to me). otherwise i just struggle x_x
Favorite/Least Favorite Gene:
Then: oof man i dunno, probably underbelly tbh was my fav. i'd say hypnotic was my least fav
Now: man don't make me choose lol!!! though probably is skink or pinstripe now, or butterfly. underbelly too! as for least fav, probably trail, honestly
Favorite color:(FR-Wise)
Then: tbh i think it was teal? teal's a beautiful color but i've struggled to keep dragons with it in my favorite genes (jaguar, bee, etc). did love skink nightshade a lot too. least favorite color was BY FAR coral, also spring
Now: i honestly don't know? it really depends; like i love robin underbelly, as well as twilight starmap, i still like teal, and i do find flint and heather pretty (particularly also in skink, no surprise lmao). i have a lot of favs! as for least favs, still do not like coral, and i'm not the biggest fan of spring, but really it's become
crocodile that i like the least. i just... i can't get it to work EVER. it's become worse than coral even?? partly because with coral i at least have moist that i like, lmao
Favorite dragon:(in your lair)
Then: aromis! she was my princess, a 5g fodder hatchie save that i gave my first gene to (glimmer). loved her to bits! she was my everything
Now: i have a lot of favs, but if i had to choose one, sandmint! he was one of my earliest dragons and just always makes me smile; he's actually the reason i met two of my best friends on fr!!
otherwise i'd say tevinter, savil, moist, flare, lordblack, and bloom are some of my favs :D
Favorite breed:
Then: spirals! as well as wildclaws. early on i particularly remember liking pearlcatchers, then falling out of love with them. i also loved coatls for a good while
Now: still spirals LOL, and wildclaws. skydancers are also apparently one of my favs |D
