1) What is your favorite color in each range? (Whites/Blacks/Reds/Blues/ect.)
White, Black, Lavender, Cerulean, Honeydew, Flaxen, Sunset, Beige, Berry, and coral!
2) Which food type does your lair use the most of on average?
If I let my skydancers eat whatever they want, insects, but I usually force feed them their veggies before anything else.
3) Tell me about a current project of yours!
Currently I'm on the hunt for two wind g1's for my lore! I'm also saving up for their outfits since it is rather... expensive, to say the least. ^^"
4) What was the first feature that you remember being added after you joined?
I honestly can't remember. Earliest I can remember might've been Roundsey?
5) What long-term goal are you working toward right now?
Completed bios for all of my dragons! And outfits too lol.
6) I haven't asked in a while, so tell me the story of your username!
Blue fire is really cool man.
7) If you had to change flights right this second where would you go?
I would rather die than leave wind, but I'd probably choose Light!
8) If you could switch the month that an elemental holiday occurs in, which one and why?
I find it really hard to imagine the fests in any month besides their own, but I'd probably change Water and Lightning around!
9) What's the general aesthetic of your lair? Or, what's an aesthetic you like seeing in lairs?
My main clan, aside from being mono-Skydancer, has a general windy theme, although I've been trying to branch it out recently. I'm once again messing with my lore, so it's been a little messy for the last few days lol.
10) Positivity time! Share 3 things you're grateful for, be it on FR, another site, real life or anything else. Whatever you want to share!
The Skydancer breed, the Hibden, and Harpy's Roost! Its the only venue I can willingly farm in for more than two hours, and its always so nice to me.
11)Who would win in a fight? 100 Fae sized Imperials or one Imperial sized Fae? (Thanks for that question, Ver.)
One Imperial sized Fae, of course.

11)Who would win in a fight? 100 Fae sized Imperials or one Imperial sized Fae?
depends on their coli levels

[b]1) What is your favorite color in each range? (Whites/Blacks/Reds/Blues/ect.)[/b] :thinking: most likely greens, yellow-greens specifically, however yellows have the highest number of allowed colours in my lair compared to their total number. [b]2) Which food type does your lair use the most of on average?[/b] Plants? Or Insects? I don't pay attention to it HAHA. I do feed them with Plants first. [b]3) Tell me about a current project of yours![/b] [url=https://www1.flightrising.com/dragon/51500661][img]https://www1.flightrising.com/dgen/dressing-room/scry?sdid=21727&skin=33562&apparel=6059,21571,20836,22169,34618,3697,32990,28814,32986,34195,1092,23148,1093,23146,32285,28817&xt=dressing.png[/img][/url] Shai is currently one of my favourite projects, but his outfit and the tert aren't something I can just splurge my money on, mainly because I'm trying to save up Gems. We're getting there though. When we got the pose changing scrolls, my heart rejoiced the moment I noticed I could turn him into a more feminine individual, as he's supposed to be anyway, and slap this accent on him. Fits him SO well. 4) What was the first feature that you remember being added after you joined? Baldwin had just been added for the Anniversary but what was added afterwards....Brightshine Jubilee 2015! That was the thing that happened right after I'd joined, so Solar Blades and the like. OH FEATURE-.......Artifracture. [b]5) What long-term goal are you working toward right now?[/b] Gilded Crown, most likely. [b]6) I haven't asked in a while, so tell me the story of your username![/b] So in 2017 I started the whole Egyptian theme more thoroughly, then really got into it by the end of 2018, and then named myself TehuMertt. Around a year later I was running around through Nitria and screaming because of how wholesome it was. I just stood there, surrounded by blowing sands and people with their hands covered in white, excavating natron. And then it hit me: "Holy gods, I need to check if Natron is available." And so it was. I figured: 1) it's easy for people to spell out, read and remember 2) it's a short, one-word username 3) it's heavily Egypt-themed 4) it's actually an anglicised Ancient Egyptian word! [b]7) If you had to change flights right this second where would you go?[/b] Fire. South African vibe, babey!!! [b]8) If you could switch the month that an elemental holiday occurs in, which one and why?[/b] Literally none of them. I know the devs actually put thought into when the festivals are and I don't want to alter that. [b]9) What's the general aesthetic of your lair? Or, what's an aesthetic you like seeing in lairs?[/b] ANCIENT EGYPTIAN, in case it wasn't obvious. \((U W U))/ Also some Middle Eastern vibes, Roman, Hellenistic and Adriatic aesthetics. Big fan, big fan. What I like to see though? Any desert stuff tbh, and some solar or Light-related vibes. ThAT aNd COWBOYS. [b]10) Positivity time! Share 3 things you're grateful for, be it on FR, another site, real life or anything else. Whatever you want to share![/b] Again, Lord Dominator, Kars and my Mum. [b]11)Who would win in a fight? 100 Fae sized Imperials or one Imperial sized Fae? (Thanks for that question, Ver.)[/b] Fae aren't necessarily weak. Sure, they're small compared to other dragons but they're just a small species, I assume they'd have the size and strength of a Homo floresiensis individual which is neat. 100 of them with ropes, spears, swords, bows or even more modern equipment would most likely be able to subdue a grown Imperial. The power is in the numbers!!

1
Ice, Obsidian, Nightshade or Royal, Cobalt, Cyan, Thicket, Metals, Fire, Latte/Umber/Ginger, Garnet, and Raspberry

2
Looking at my account settings, insects and plants are almost tied. I blame the picky plentiful fodder.

3
Getting Starmap for a dominance mascot that means a lot to me and a lair expansion next week so I'll be on track to get an ancient lair by 2021. Not sure if the second part should go in the "Long term projects" section, but I'll let it slide.

4
I joined in April Fools 2020, so if the Which Waystone pro counts as a feature, I'd guess it was that! Newbie me actually thought the talking waystone was just a way to familiarize me with the features of the site. *Smiles in pretty recent nostalgia*

5
I'm pretty sure I'll say unlocking the hibernal den, but I've also been working towards familiars (Kind of, at least) and the lair. Guess it's just completing the things FR set for everyone.

6
It was actually pretty hastily thought-out and I'm hoping to change it soon, but since I'm signed up for so many pinglists and three of the UNs I wanted were already taken, it'll probably take a while and it'll be a dramatic moment when I do decide to change it.

7
Pretty sure I'll scream and save up for a flight change just because I love Lightning, but if I had to chose one, I'd say Wind. I've met some nice people there, the flight size is pretty average, and they do push for dominance every so often.

8
The elemental alignments make sense and they're just nice the way they are, I'll probably keep them but for selfish reasons I might swap Brightshine and Thundercrack so our fest stuff is worth more and so it'll be as close to my birthday as possible.

9
Um, "aesthetic"? Wha-what do you mean by that?
No seriously, my lair gives off a lightning vibe if you "look closely" but that's about it

10
I'm just grateful for this site. I had a really hard time in late June and early-mid July of this year, (I'd prefer not to elaborate but it was... pretty bad) and FR, especially dominance and the Thundercrack Carnivale that happened later that month really helped me and it's what led to me being more than just a casual player. I never left since then, once I discovered the community, I realized how amazing it was.

For my second thing, I'll give a shoutout to my two amazing IRL friends who stuck with me since as long as I can remember, if they were interested in things like Flight Rising, I would have signed them up as quickly as I could. I know they won't see this, but they're both super positive and when they're there, they never let me down.

I'm also just thankful that I have a roof above my head, and technology that lets people like you read the things I say. I was always that one kid in class who never appreciated that, but as I got older, and especially now, a part of me just hates myself for taking those things for granted.

11
The fae-sized imps, simply because emperors exist.

And that's a wrap! This took longer to write than I expected it to, but man is it going to be refreshing when I press that "submit" button.

1) What is your favorite color in each range? (Whites/Blacks/Reds/Blues/ect.)
Bold of you to assume I know color names.
I define color ranges as main rainbow + black, gray (sometimes), white, and brown. (And I guess pink?)
Red: Maroon.
Orange: Huge toss-up between Carrot and Fire. Carrot if I want vibrant, pop-out orange. Fire does the same but is dulled a noticeable amount. Fire, however, has (go figure) coal like dark accents that make it an easier worked with color for anything else. (Also I like Terracotta solely because of a fan dragon but it just doesn't hold up well to the other two.)
Yellow: Lemon. (What if... Yellow... but dark accents?)
Green: OKAY SO HERE'S THE THING: Dark vs Light, also how blue is too blue? How yellow is too yellow? So I'm gonna do this instead.
Dark Green: Jungle.
Light Green: Fern.
Green(?): Jade.
Blue: Azure.
Purple: Thistle. (It looks grey but hear me out: Off-grey tints are still technically that color and all the other purples are a bit too dark or too light or too one-color for my taste.)
Pink: Raspberry. (I don't use pink a lot so this is heavily subject to change but the accents are cool!)
Black: Black. (Basic. I know. Obsidian is nice for if you want pitch dark, but sometimes being able to see things is good and Black is a refreshingly light (how does that make sense) version of itself on flight rising that has the aesthetic without being hard to see.)
White: Moon. (White's... too white. Moon mixes in just enough grey where it's not just tolerable but actually pleasing to look at.)
Brown: Soil.

2) Which food type does your lair use the most of on average?
Insects, I'm pretty sure.

3) Tell me about a current project of yours!
Rinzler. Also my lore.

4) What was the first feature that you remember being added after you joined?
Bogsneaks.
...
WAIT THEY WERE RELEASED HOW LONG AGO?
(I remember a few other things but this one's the most prominent.)

5) What long-term goal are you working toward right now?
My lore looking at least presentable so I can write story for it.

6) I haven't asked in a while, so tell me the story of your username!
R.i.p. Club Penguin. (My first online name that's followed me everywhere and I'm only just now shifting out of.)

7) If you had to change flights right this second where would you go?
Probably Nature? Aesthetic's cool. Maybe Earth, I like the idea of caverns. I've never even thought about leaving Fire and I still have my free flight change so... I really don't know.

8) If you could switch the month that an elemental holiday occurs in, which one and why?
Flameforger's festival. To september. My anniversary and birthday are both there and I think I'd like my flight's festival there too!

9) What's the general aesthetic of your lair? Or, what's an aesthetic you like seeing in lairs?
My aesthetic: A clan that's centered around a Coliseum that isn't a warzone, a dictatorship, or actually that hard/bad to live in! They have other cultural pieces too, like their own holidays, succession systems, e.t.c. Culture and tradition is a huge part of their daily lives but not an overbearing one and I hope to show that when I eventually reach my ultimate goal of writing out a story. (Currently w.i.p. but the general idea's mostly going to stay the same now.)
Other lairs: Variety. In the lair itself. Having a unified color scheme, or ideals, or backstory's cool, and I respect the dedication! I actually do still enjoy these when they're done well! But after a while a lair can get a little monotonous if everything is relatively similar in one way or another. What I like the best is vastly different groups of dragons involved in the same lair. Same clan in-lore? Na! Could be halfway across the globe from each other, all I care about is the variety to keep me engaged in the dragons and their surroundings.

10) Positivity time! Share 3 things you're grateful for, be it on FR, another site, real life or anything else. Whatever you want to share!
1. My cats.
2. My ability to know myself. (Knowing who I am and what I like, basically.)
3. Stories.

11)Who would win in a fight? 100 Fae sized Imperials or one Imperial sized Fae? (Thanks for that question, Ver.)
How fast can the Imperial-sized Fae curbstomp things? Does the Fae retain magic-to-size ratio or is it locked at normal capabilities? Can the Imperials still reform into an Emperor if they die? Is it to the death?

Long story short: I just think the Fae, in a brilliant moment of 'small thing makes noise flies around tries to attack' association, would register the Imperials as bugs and eat them.

Edit: Couple of grammar things.
