Raffles & Giveaways

Child of the wind
Poke your head out from the reeds
Tilt your head
Let the breeze tickle against your snout
Smell the scent of ozone as the grass gleams
The nights grow thinner

-small poem by me!

[quote]Please, don't be afraid of being happy. Becoming happy isn't the same thing as accepting your current misfortune. It means creating a new happiness in spite of that misfortune. That is the Magic of Origins.[/quote] [quote]What I want to say is that self-satisfaction is usually alright. No matter who praises you, it's meaningless if you can't accept it. Turning that around, even if no one praises you, that doesn't matter as long as you can accept it yourself.[/quote] [right]- Umineko no Naku Koro ni[/right] My favourite Visual Novel, and in my top three of favourite novel series of all time, period. I'd rec it to absolutely everyone--just don't get spoiled, which can be tricky considering the series is a complete spoiler minefield.

My favorite teacher (who I have MAD respect for),
once said that “There are only two types of people in this world. The ones that you love, and the ones you don’t know.”

Sharing anonymous Irish Blessing: May the road rise up to meet you May the wind be always at your back May the warm rays of sun fall upon your home And may the hand of a friend always be near. May green be the grass you walk on, May blue be the skies above you, May pure be the joys that surround you, May true be the hearts that love you. And also two favorite Mist Jam dragons: Journey'sEnd was actually purchased *just* so I could apply this accent, a favorite from 2021's entries: [url=https://www1.flightrising.com/dragon/84303617][img]https://www1.flightrising.com/rendern/350/843037/84303617_350.png[/img][/url] And Firestreak was the first old dragon I purchased, and wears another of my favorite Wind accents (and she is my Wind Rep): [url=https://www1.flightrising.com/dragon/35887525][img]https://www1.flightrising.com/rendern/350/358876/35887525_350.png[/img][/url]

wanted to share one of my windy dragons [url=https://www1.flightrising.com/dragon/78358183][img]https://www1.flightrising.com/rendern/350/783582/78358183_350.png[/img][/url] [img]https://milliethom.files.wordpress.com/2015/07/windy-quote-2.jpg[/img]

[center][b][size=6]It's time for another [/size][/b] [img]https://i.imgur.com/64HQuRj.png[/img][/center] [b]It’s finally spring![/b] Wherever you are in the world, and whatever weather you are actually having, let's work on some spring cleaning! To help clear out all that toxic waste we have accumulated, I am sponsoring this [center][size=6][b]Spring Cleaning Raffle[/b][/size]. [item=Moldy Leather][item=Toridae Chew Toy][item=Moth-eaten Rug][item=Battered Scroll Case][item=Shattered Reading Spectacles][/center] [b][size=6]How to Enter:[/size][/b] This one is going to be a more traditional, ticket-based raffle. [LIST] [*]For [b]every item[/b] you send me [u]regardless of value[/u], you will earn one ticket. [*]For [b]food items[/b], I will give tickets equal to the number of food points! Example: Send 10 x Java Sparrow (worth 2 food points) for 20 tickets! [*]We have several [b]signature badges[/b] available below. Use one in your forum signature (and post here, so I will see it) for [u]25 tickets each week[/u]! Note: Since this starts and ends mid-week, I will be counting weeks from [b]Wednesday through Tuesday[/b] for showing off signature badges once per week. Add yourself to the spring cleaning column in the pinglist for a weekly reminder to show off your badge for 25 more tickets! [i]Note: If you still have a Spring Cleaning badge that you had been using last year, please make sure it is up-to-date with this year's link![/i] [*]If anyone wants to [b]create a new badge[/b], so people would have another option to use in their forum signatures, I would give you 100 tickets! This badge could be specific to Spring Cleaning or a more general design for the Random Raffle page. (May only be earned once.) [/LIST] [center][item=Mangled Textile][item=Tattered Parchment][item=Waterlogged Boot][item=Crumbling Leather][item=Rusted Chain][/center] [b][size=6]Other Details:[/size][/b] [b]No need to do the math![/b] It's what I do. I enter everything as a formula anyway. I can't stop myself. Just to be clear, I will [u]not[/u] be putting together prize packages from anything you send in this time. [b][u]Please do not send dragons or anything valuable[/u][/b]. I will not be checking auction house prices. Items that you send in will most likely be transmuted or hoard-sold to help build up the prize stock for future raffles. This is an opportunity to get rid of your [b][i]useless[/i] junk[/b]! This raffle will run through the rest of spring, and the first round of winners will be drawn on [b]Wednesday, June 21st - the summer solstice[/b] (at least in the northern hemisphere). All items must be received by the [b][u]end of the day on Tuesday, June 20th[/u][/b] (Flight Rising rollover). FYI - I keep track of tickets in the same file as the ping list (linked below), so you can check your totals at any time. [i]Note: This does not mean that I won't have other Random Raffles running simultaneously![/i] ----- [center][url=https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/18xm6m7IWk2uuUkSIuca-EJ_BlQqNPhm9cKG3ub_KksE/edit?usp=sharing]Click here to add yourself to the ping list or check tickets for this raffle.[/url][/center] ----- [b][size=6]Signature Badges:[/size][/b] See the first page for a complete list as I tend to add newly designed badges there.
