Oh wow the mates this time around are gorgeous, especially that bane and Abby!

@CupcakeNova @Festivoog @FelineThing @Pikabolt @berrybbtr @TheifOfLight @pupster1976 @Wingheart We've had a set of nests this time! 4 eggs from the gaolers, and 5 from the banes!! Alas, the aberrations and veilspun have merely produced 2 eggs each. [img]https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/559944006759481354/1037493905526112356/ancients_9.png[/img] Side note for anyone curious: I have indeed decided to keep Cobalt. In fact, I'm bribing him with a red leather jacket UMA to give me a sparkle baby :P Why red? Why, to further emphasize how blue he is of course! He's not wearing it since it hasn't quite printed yet, but hopefully in the next few days he'll get his jacket :D

@CupcakeNova @Festivoog @FelineThing @Pikabolt @berrybbtr @TheifOfLight @pupster1976 @Wingheart What's up, today's nests are a whole grab bag of fun. Check it out! [b]Gemstone Gaolers[/b] Unfortunately, the gaolers haven't done much in the way of upgrades in a long, long time. This generation is no different. Meet Cinnabar, the latest of a series of "ehhhh" dragons.

However, the banes produced a bunch of really pretty kids and we even got butterfly on a few of them! Our heir this round is Isa, who is absolutely gorgeous and is one of two heirs with a cerise primary! [columns][url=https://www1.flightrising.com/dragon/81919882][img]https://www1.flightrising.com/rendern/350/819199/81919882_350.png[/img][/url][nextcol][i]Isa - Banescale Female[/i] Cerise Poison Nightshade Butterfly Shadow Porcupine Arcane Uncommon [/columns] I'm running out of chicken names, but here's a whole bunch of really pretty bane hatchlings!

I think they're gonna make some really pretty kids, upgrades or no!

That's right, our heir this round Talita has a gem secondary. At this rate, the veilspun are on track to be my first ever finished basic to gem line! [columns][url=https://www1.flightrising.com/dragon/81919967][img]https://www1.flightrising.com/rendern/350/819200/81919967_350.png[/img][/url][nextcol][i]Tatila - Veilspun Female[/i] Oilslick Skink Plum Bee Cerulean Diaphanous Arcane Uncommon [/columns] Although our sibling Palamedes didn't upgrade, I'm very tempted to keep her. She's so pretty! [url=https://www1.flightrising.com/dragon/81919968][img]https://www1.flightrising.com/rendern/avatars/819200/81919968.png[/img][/url] The veilspun heir Weidermayer is also pretty! Since we're in the end game with the veils now, I'm gonna be sticking fairly close to this general color palette. I think he's lovely. [columns][i]Weidermayer - Veilspun Male[/i] Black Starmap Blackberry Constellation Periwinkle Diaphanous Arcane Uncommon[nextcol] [url=https://www1.flightrising.com/dragon/81801837][img]https://www1.flightrising.com/rendern/350/818019/81801837_350.png[/img][/url] [/columns] There's a very tight range here, but it makes verifiable pretty kids. [img]https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/559944006759481354/1039232234579841104/14._tatila-weidermeyer.png[/img] [b]Elemental Aberrations[/b] Dear Cobalt, when I bribed you with a red leather jacket UMA and promised to keep you around, I was expecting you to pass on sparkle. You know, the gene with the 25% chance to pass on, not the 15% or the 3% ones. And look, I'm not mad! I'm positively delighted with this kiddo! There's just no sparkle yet. Seriously, look at Nickel! Not only did she get a primary upgrade, she got the gem gene upgrade as well! Two whole upgrades! No sparkle, but man. This is such a lucky kid. [columns][url=https://www1.flightrising.com/dragon/81919969][img]https://www1.flightrising.com/rendern/350/819200/81919969_350.png[/img][/url][nextcol][i]Nickel - Aberration Female[/i] Cerise Diamond Ginger Sarcophagus Sunshine Kumo Arcane Rare [/columns] Her brother Copper is also very lucky, even if he doesn't have any upgrades. He's an XYX! If he fit my lair theme he'd stick around. [url=https://www1.flightrising.com/dragon/81919970][img]https://www1.flightrising.com/rendern/avatars/819200/81919970.png[/img][/url] Nickel's mate is Zinc, an absolutely gorgeous blue boy. I love him. I want him to pass down sparkle. [columns][i]Zinc - Aberration Male[/i] Cornflower Wasp Obsidian Bee Stonewash Sparkle Nature Uncommon[nextcol] [url=https://www1.flightrising.com/dragon/81596797][img]https://www1.flightrising.com/rendern/350/815968/81596797_350.png[/img][/url] [/columns] Another wild range here! I'm excited for these kiddos. [img]https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/559944006759481354/1039232234256875580/10._nickel-zinc.png[/img] These guys will be RTB on the 27th, although I think I'll be putting it off a little bit because there won't be enough nests thanks to the main BtG lines. I hope you all enjoyed this wild batch!

Lol pretty sure at this point your abbies will give you a second gem gene before sparkle, they seem to be trying to spite you!

Crossing my fingers that the finally pick it up next round!

@CupcakeNova @Festivoog @FelineThing @Pikabolt @berrybbtr @TheifOfLight @pupster1976 @Wingheart All right, today we've got a solidly decent number of eggs! Three eggs from everyone except the veils, who only gave us two. I'm excited for this batch! [img]https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/559944006759481354/1046494839304360048/ancients_10.png[/img] Also, what do y'all think of the Undertides? I think they're awesome. Hooray for wet beasts with no legs! Unfortunately, I don't have the lair space at the moment to start up their BtG line (plus I think I'm going to need to make a second thread; there's no more space on the front page!). Once I've finished a couple lines I'm definitely starting up a line though! Hopefully they'll be cheaper by then :P

Oof yeah, the undertide challenge can wait until they're cheaper! That'll be a fun one. I love some of the new genes!

@CupcakeNova @Festivoog @FelineThing @Pikabolt @berrybbtr @TheifOfLight @pupster1976 @Wingheart Gen 15, give it up for gen 15! Okay, so it's a pretty boring round this time. I suppose that's what happens when you get to those 3% chances. 3% chances my beloathed. Here's this batch of little guys! [b]Gemstone Gaolers[/b] Once again, no movement :') I'm really hoping for a tertiary upgrade because I really, really dislike scorpion. At least the heir Charoite is kinda cute! [columns][url=https://www1.flightrising.com/dragon/82439450][img]https://www1.flightrising.com/rendern/350/824395/82439450_350.png[/img][/url][nextcol][i]Charoite - Gaoler Female[/i] Eggplant Phantom Forest Facet Smoke Scorpion Arcane Common [/columns] Our siblings are Peridot (who honestly is a lot cuter and would've been a perfect heir if only he'd gotten facet) and Scapolite who, yup, is a gaoler.

Plenty of room for interesting variation I think. [img]https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/559944006759481354/1048400571209621586/15._charoite-celestine.png[/img] [b]Chicken Banescales[/b] Another boring round here. Luckily I don't despise any of the genes on display here! I picked Redhead because she's the only one of her siblings who inherited butterfly. Realized after the fact that she also shares 2 out of 3 colors with her mom. Fun! [columns][url=https://www1.flightrising.com/dragon/82439452][img]https://www1.flightrising.com/rendern/350/824395/82439452_350.png[/img][/url][nextcol][i]Redhead - Banescale Female[/i] Cerise Poison Grey Butterfly Shadow Porcupine Arcane Unusual [/columns] The other siblings are Whiting, who is very crisp and elegant, and Shaver, who is Not.

Much like the gaolers, it's close, but still far enough apart to have some interesting variation.

At least they've got two gem genes instead of only one! Our mate is Rumanzovia, who is a very handsome little fellow. [columns][url=https://www1.flightrising.com/dragon/82439460][img]https://www1.flightrising.com/rendern/350/824395/82439460_350.png[/img][/url][nextcol][i]Rumanzovia - Veilspun Male[/i] Oilslick Skink Mulberry Bee Denim Diaphanous Arcane Uncommon [/columns] His one sibling is Ipidamas, who is pretty like her brother.

I'm really hoping for starmap for this line and she doesn't have it. Unfortunately the only other affordable choice with close enough colors was apparently related :') This is why we Assay Bloodlines folks! Imagine how embarrassing that would be if I didn't :P [columns][i]Sara - Veilspun Female[/i] Blackberry Wasp Charcoal Bee Iris Diaphanous Light Rare[nextcol] [url=https://www1.flightrising.com/dragon/82395664][img]https://www1.flightrising.com/rendern/350/823957/82395664_350.png[/img][/url] [/columns] The veils have a very close range, but that's to be expected at this point!

Sparkle has come to reign! In fact, there were two (2!) hatchlings with sparkle! I went with Arsenic because she's very cohesive with the blue/dark orangy-red color scheme. Please appreciate my sparkly little poison baby.

Those pastel pinks at the end of the wheel are my absolute favorite! He'd make a really good preppy bf to Arsenic's goth gf and - [i]oh no[/i], I could give them lore and keep them. Help.

The next generation will be ready to go on the 22nd. See y'all then!

YES, goth prep couple! Gotta find fun in the 3% rounds somehow!

@CupcakeNova @Festivoog @FelineThing @Pikabolt @berrybbtr @TheifOfLight @pupster1976 @Wingheart Happy NotN everyone! I hope you are all having excellent luck with your strange chests. All the ancient nests were laid yesterday! The gaolers gave us 5 eggs, and everyone else produced two. Here's to hoping for something good!

@CupcakeNova @Festivoog @FelineThing @Pikabolt @berrybbtr @TheifOfLight @pupster1976 @Wingheart *wheezes* so those holidays, huh? I am wayyy behind on catching y'all up with this challenge. Unfortunately, there really isn't a whole lot to report. It's a round where absolutely no one decided to give me an upgrade. Rude of them. If I had the lair space, I'd start up the Undertide line and second ancients thread, but alas. The curse of hibden cooldowns on important dragons as well as many breeding projects hangs heavy on my lair. One day. [b]Gemstone Gaolers[/b] A five-egg nest, and they give me no upgrades? Really? I believed in you! It's been... ten generations now, and they certainly haven't moved a bit since then. Getting a liiitle tired of scorpion here folks, can you wrap it up? I will say that I think all five hatchlings turned out very pretty. My favorite of them is Indigo, and can you blame me? She's got this regal charm to her. Peak gaoler. I might keep her and give her a different tert after moving onto the next gen. Could be a good lore dragon! [columns][url=https://www1.flightrising.com/dragon/83082338][img]https://www1.flightrising.com/rendern/350/830824/83082338_350.png[/img][/url][nextcol][i]Indigo - Gaoler Female[/i] Royal Phantom Twilight Facet Silver Scorpion Arcane Uncommon [/columns] Her four siblings are also very pretty! Amethyst is similarly gorgeous (albeit with reddish purple instead of a blue one), Kunzite is a pastel queen, Obsidian looks like he'd make a good villain, and Fluorite looks like she wants to go to a rave.

I've run out of chicken breeds that make good names! Unlike butterflies, they don't even have scientific names I can pull from. What they do have are some very lovely hatchlings. I picked Dove over his brother because I'm really digging a pink direction for this line! I think pink banes will be fantastic in the end, just as long as they actually manage to upgrade (hint hint). [columns][url=https://www1.flightrising.com/dragon/83082363][img]https://www1.flightrising.com/rendern/350/830824/83082363_350.png[/img][/url][nextcol][i]Dove - Banescale Male[/i] Bubblegum Poison Shale Butterfly Steel Porcupine Arcane Unusual [/columns] That being said, I do think Raven is a gorgeous goth lad.

All that's left is their primary, and if you've been following along, you know how much the veils don't like their primary upgrades. I quite like our heir, Zarucco! She looks like a night sky and I love her. I hope her kids get starmap!

Sorry! I love them, but they didn't spark lore :') However, they did produce some very fun looking hatchlings, even if they didn't get that limited gene upgrade. The heir is Krypton! I picked him because he looks like a knock-off of my random progen. Also, he's gorgeous. I really like the diamond/sarcophagus/sparkle combo, and he just knocks it out of the park! [columns][url=https://www1.flightrising.com/dragon/83082391][img]https://www1.flightrising.com/rendern/350/830824/83082391_350.png[/img][/url][nextcol][i]Krypton - Aberration Male[/i] Heather Diamond Crimson Sarcophagus Orchid Sparkle Arcane Common [/columns] Meanwhile, Bromine is just such a funky little lady.
