Telling my partner I'm making bank by selling Spingy Spoingy's and he goes "You're pissing me off."

[dilsdragons]

Me: Oh! Today's my flight rising anniversary! Maybe I should hatch an egg... but idk, I have a lot of projects i need to gene as is...

But what if it were a triple. Lol that'd never happen tho-

another thing about imperials that fucks me up is the whole unpredictable lifespan thing. what do you mean some imperials randomly die after a couple of decades but others can live for centuries. hello. imagine being like a 700 year old imperial. the love of your life died when you were 527. your 2 hatchmates died at 34 and 448 respectively. one of your children died at 191. you keep getting news of your distant relatives dying at varying ages. 56. 382. 809. 22. not to mention the fact that entire generations of your non-imperial friends and loved ones have passed. and your life isn't even particularly tragic this is just the normal imperial experience and you have no other choice but to 'fuck it we ball' your way through it all??? can these big freaky lizards catch a fucking break for once????

I never see anyone talking about the creature design in this game, and I'm not talking about the dragons. The familiars are so unique and diverse, and the combination of different animals that no one would think would look good that don't look that out of place! The buttersnakes are just snakes with tiny arms and butterfly wings but they work regardless of how silly and simple they are! The viperpillars and the the ginkgolins, even the mimics and the IRL mythical creatures/monsters having their own diverse shapes, colors, and personalities in the game!

I love the creature designs of this game so much

I failed to consider the fact that I actually have windows 11 animation effects off for performance + personal aesthetic reasons which means I have to manually turn that shit on to see the new feature. So now I'm fighting for my life trying to find a way to make firefox ignore the prefers-reduced-motion flag because apparently it's tied to windows' ugly ass animations 👍 boy I wish I could see the shiny dragons!!!!!!!!!

Finally, back to animated sparkle gif Myspace era

Maintenance Update

Happy Wednesday, everyone! While we’re waiting for the engineers to do their thing with today’s maintenance and update, we wanted to touch base with you ahead of time about accessibility and today’s update.

If you’re someone who is sensitive to moving lights, images, or colors online or if you just don’t like them, you have the option to force a setting globally, called prefers-reduced-motion, through your operating system:

Windows 10: Start > Settings > Ease of Access > Display > Show Animations in Windows

MacOS: System Preferences > Accessibility > Display> Reduce Motion

iOS: Settings > Accessibility > Motion> Reduce Motion

Android: Settings > Accessibility > Remove Animations

While not all websites respect the prefers-reduced-motion flag (yet), the update we’re launching today does! What’s especially helpful when you use this setting is that today's update will respect your motion preferences even when you’re logged out!

If you’re sensitive to such animations, this down time is a good time to set your global preferences.

There will also be a toggle in your Account Settings that will allow players to completely turn off the feature if needed or desired. We’ll have more information about the level of individual control a player has with this feature for you when maintenance concludes.

A finished commissioned piece for Chanidae's beloved Unnamed (how mysterious). Thank you so much for supporting me!

I think that if a dragon were to rot it would be like a whale fall. The event is so rare that is teems with opportunist scavengers and creates a boom in the ecosystem. The flesh is uniquely rich and saturated with raw magic that will imbue the next few generations of vultures with sharper talons and bile twice as acidic. That magical energy disperses through the food web to grant small gifts to billions of different creatures. Insects are the first to find the carcass and the last to pick its flesh. Then the plants and fungi take over when there are only bones. Apothecary shelves will be overflowing for months with unique flowers, fruits, and mushrooms. Some gardeners and brewers plant trees in the exposed ribcage.

Humans also play a role in this decay, naturally. Even quite rotten, dragon meat carries no diseases or parasites. There are delicacies made from the flesh at its most rotten state, though most prefer the fresher meat. The scales, bones, teeth, and claws are valuable to jewelers, armorers, and smiths of tools and weapons. If you're lucky, it'll be your local craftsmen who get their hands on them, and you might get a nice set of bone kitchen knives for a high but reasonable price. If you're unlucky, some company will step in to strip away all the valuables from this dead angel, and the 1% will enjoy some novelties they don't appreciate the significance of. They've never seen a dragon rot, or dug through its decaying flesh with thick gloves to stave off its acidic blood.

What remains of the bones will eventually be covered in earth and lush new life. It will become a garden, perhaps tended by the humans who remember it, or perhaps only by the birds and squirrels that scatter the seeds. Someday dragons might visit this place to rear their young on its bounty, and thank the dead for what they've given back.

thinking about imperials for too long makes me feel SICK if I was an imp living in a post-luminax society I would become the joker.

undel at da goodwill

[dilsdragons]

i truly cannot get over the fact that there's a place in flight rising called "cinderslag" because every time i see the name i immediately go "that's what british dragons call the flamecaller"

[dilsdragons]
