I don't think the devs would do that even if they liked it since they can't add it to every dragon [/quote] This was covered in the suggestion, dragons with tongues out/exposed (coatl, mirror, bogsneak) get a color change on the existing tongue. See the coatl male example with the green tongue. [/quote] Then I really hope they make this a thing!

I see bleps every day when I look at my snakies irl..... However, I could always use more bleps, so I fully support this! [emoji=veilspun laughing size=2]

I wish I could truly support this, but the linebreaking element is genuinely a concern on modern breeds because of how it interacts with apparel. That's why there's the "no apparel / yes linebreaking terts" tradeoff for ancients. (If only there could be the gene for coatls and mirrors only, but alas.)
That's one important thing that notably separates this proposal from past terts that have bent the rules on linebreaking: they're nevertheless streamlined with the dragon's body.
(Meanwhile, firefly and spines already exist as "subtle" terts with little to no coverage, for when even stained can't save you. It's inaccurate to claim that there are zero options for low-coverage terts.)


BUT!!! Before I get a bunch of pings from angry blep-lovers, I have a proposed compromise that preserves the TRUE important part of the gene:

Hear me out— PERMABABY-EXCLUSIVE GENE.

Permababies can't wear apparel anyway, so who cares about line-breaking part?
Of course, by this same logic, it could also be a gene for ancients, and I've got no issue with them getting bleps either. (Still... if only permababies could wield the power of the blep... I just think that would be kind of cute.)

I need this omg

Support but please don't make it a gem gene.

In any case with spines and Firefly I think pleb is so minor line-braking that tottaly ok for all breeds.

If this was made into apparel, that'd be a great item for april fools, maybe- like all the dragons on the site get Blep for the day, and afterwards it becomes a Marva item that can be occasionally picked up like past ones

Yes, Gembond and Spines are streamlined to the body, but I don't see how Firefly is. In my experience using Firefly, there are a lot more places that the fireflies can clip under apparel than the Blep could.

[/quote] In this case, presumably the gene would be removed, similar to how genes are reset to basic when changing to/from ancient breeds. As far as what should/should not be considered "minor" line-breaking, I guess this is just going to be one of those things that is really personal/subjective. For me, I feel it would be sufficiently troublesome with a lot of head apparel, but I totally understand how someone could disagree on that!
