Non-Tipsy Lair review for Pudgykookaburra!

Let's start with Marigold here! A beautiful gen one who really is perfectly tied together with her runes. They add wonderful highlights to the accent, making her overall look like a dark, glittering pond.

It's rare to see Malevolent Spirit out in the wild nowadays! Xidachane wears it perfectly, tied in with his eyes, clawtips, beads, and herb satchel. A very simple-looking, but well thought out outfit.

Took a sec to be emotional over Cedar. Aah god

GOD I LOVE HAYFEVER. No explanation needed, like, just LOOK AT HER. She's going to whip you up into an aromatic intoxicating dust devil of pollen. You're not making it out

Diomia's colours make her look like a very, very old penny. I really like that, and I like the tones you played up with her whole outfit. What a lovely birthday dragon!

I love Lemon Ice Bias Tape and I still think you made a great decision when you aether'd him up. His accent is just too pretty. Wonderful fella.

I love Terracotta Punchbowl so much too but I try not to pick dragons you bought from meee. You did such great work with her tho

Another rare and sublime UM. Ianthe looks wonderful, and the apparel you added goes so well. Especially the claws and candles.

It's hard to guess that a mix of such bright colours could produce something so dark and sludgy-feeling. A+ work on him. The dusky rose fabric really ties in well, as well.

I love browsing through your lairrr. I saw so many of my lore kids as I went and it always makes me smile.

Pushing through the brush of the Shadow domain, you'll stumble across a map of assorted dragon clans that stretch far beyond the realm where you stand. Here it is you'll find RahgolDok's dragons, and the fantastic locations they have found themselves. Looking at each and every one of them, it's hard to pick and choose just a limited number of them. From the knights, to the glades, I encourage you to check out the dragons for yourself, they're really well designed!

Pulling off any of the blue colours isnt an easy feat in Flight Rising, but Clyde decided to say 'That's not good enough' and completely undermine expectations. The deep blues and the gentle cool tones that make up her apparel really drive home what an amazing dragon this Guardian is. Even without dedicated lore, there is just a vibe to her that sings of majesty and wisdom. Her story is one told far and wide, and kept within generations to come.

To say that Soren reached through the screen and demanded that she be picked is understating it a little. I looked at her, and I didn't hesitate to bring up her page, just to look at all the details of her apparel and appearance. Spruce isn't an easy colour to work with on dragons, for it's unfortunate secondary appearing colour, but it doesn't matter here as it pairs famously for Antique. Gentle and yet ultimately fierce in appearance, she is one heck of a dragon.

Now it took some time, gazing over others that when I settled to look a little bit longer at Gayvn, I knew he was one of them. The really good dragons with the colours that don't sound like they should work in theory but really pull off something almost magical. The fact that Stained is such a magical gene to change the entire harmony of a dragon is such an understated thing; as the Sanddollar calms the fierceness Plum and Bubblegum to something gentle and soft.

In all seriousness, the pure and only reason why that Wildclaw is there, looking at you with their gaze is for the fact their name is simply Heyhoo. And it is the best name I have seen in a hot second. Not even classed as an honourable mention, they're a very pretty dragon to look at, with the floral detailing and pleasant appearance. Just. Heyhoo is a great name okay?

[chicoryblue]

Thank you for the lovely comment :) Also, hard agree on antique - one of the best colors hands down. Would you mind me putting your comment in zir bio?

Hey folks, I've started my off season job that has a lot of downtime so if you want to drop a link to your lair I'll go and tell you who my favorite is and why.

[ringleaderising]

"What do you mean you lost him?" "I mean he was right there behind me and then he wasn't anymore, Sow! Means exactly what I said! I lost 'im!" "well you best find him or I swear to the Eleven, that Lady of the Graves is going to have to dig her champion a real nice hole."

Well. looks like Runt's gone wandering. If you've got the presence of mind to let him hang out for a bit, I'm sure his observations will be... poignant and intelligent. Or at least, accompanied by a kind of shoddy crayon drawing by a child- at the very least, he can probably get a few trips in before Pig sniffs him out!

Pay what you Want lair reviews from Pig's son Runt!

I too am a big fan of Whatever Wherever :) Organising dragons on the Vibes I pick Raidou!

Hes a CLASSIC black n purple n Bones but its a classic for a reason cause it Looks Good! I like his outfit I think its a very nice 'demon summoner'. Scrolling down his bio I see he is actually a fandragon for a game series I've never played but you did a good job imo! Also I love his little cat perched on his hat :) Cute! Runners Up - Muerte (even SPOOKIER BONES!), Smoochie (kitty cat 😭 smooches her), Spookie (got soooo many fwiends :)

Non-Tipsy Lair Review for OrderedChaos!

Yea this is late, thanks again for being understanding!

My eyes just lightning zoomed over to Urania here. Moon/Pistachio/Pistachio g1? SUPERB. To die for. This is also the first time I think I'v seen that UM, Eclipse Weaver. She comes off as someone very special indeed.

And then I see Altinak with his white/robin/robin. Oh my GOODNESS your dragons are just winning. His accent and apparel blend flawlessly into his colours. Just A+. As with Urania, I'd love to learn more about him.

And now let's pop back to the very beginning to feature your lovely progen, Maelor. I love seeing an accomplished old magician who only grew more talented as time went on, and that it shows in his sparkly UM! Just lovely.

Such well-loved progens. I just find their backstory so sweet; falling in love in a traveling troupe and leaving to start a life - and whole new clan - together. Good for Zia and Maelor up above. Sometimes I wish I made my progens nicer people, lmfao

I'm always a sucker for pretty and/or cool snappers. Pele encompasses both. Love that skin. I accidentally picked a dragon without a bio again, whoops. Whatever. She caught my eye! She's lovely!

I love Myca's vivid, carnival-esque colours and balanced apparel. She's eye-catching and enchanting. I also enjoy the cat collection in her bio.

Well god damn look at that utterly smouldering Gainstrive art Karrin here has. Chef hand emoji. You captured the art's personality well with his accent/apparel (or maybe vice versa idk). Luxurious.

Nice 2Ls btw

Oh, another beautiful g1! I didn't even notice until I moused over him - I was once again enchanted by one of your kickass outfits. You even balanced out magenta perfectly, and that's not easy. Great art, again!

What a beautiful and graceful-looking lady. A guiding star amidst the false galaxies of the Strand, huh? I love it. I also really adore the mix of dangling apparel on her tail.

Another KILLER outfit. I'd always wanted to like mulberry back in the old days and flaunt/flair made my dreams come true. It works especially well with Astrarium here. The accent and censer are just perfect.

You have a really wonderful lair! It was a joy to look at, I just wish I could read more about your dragons!

[slightlydensedragons]

If your travels take you north, long from the coasts of the ice locked lands, hidden by the coast of spires that pierce the sky with their shimmering pink hues, you may stumble upon Glacecakes' court of dragons at Lunar Point. A wonderous place, filled with rich history and life that inspires and defies time itself. Take a moment and engage in the wonders each story these dragons hold.

It would be a great disservice to do a review of this lair, and not mention the beauty and wonder that is Queen Selene of the Moon. A Pearlcatcher with a wonderous appearance, reading the preview of the lore from the clan page had me curious. And curiosity lead me to her. A deserving monarch with an incredible life behind her, every bit of her history was engaging and I had to stop and regard it with a sense of accomplishment. Well put together, she deserves to be seen by many, and viewed by everyone; just as the moon in our own skies.

Now Noelani caught my sight by mere appearance alone. And then reading the lore? She had me enamoured. A real beauty of a character, even for her simpleness to want to experience life in such a novel way, with a king of her own, the manner in which is was portrayed was bitter sweet. She deserves only the very best, despite her naivety; for every character deserves to grow at heart.

Imperials are either hit or miss; depending on their history. Neyli does not miss. It would be a goddamn crime if she did. Tying in the shimmer of her wings to the accent is brilliant in it's own right, as well as ensuring the outfit she wears fits just as well? Almost like a gradient of colour that heralds the sun after a storm. She honestly is just a beautiful looking dragon and character.

I know that Roslyn's trade refers to the cutting of gems and stone work, but my brain could only chant in such an excited manner 'BLACKSMITH BOGSNEAK BLACKSMITH BOGSNEAK.' Even without lore, she gives the undoubted vibe of a hard working character, who offers no nonsense and prefers to have her days busy and full of praise on her endeavours. Her apparel is simple to her vibe, but damn if it doesn't hit just right. Words cannot explain how great she is, even without the written foundations.

Sofia The First Review/Thoughts (I watched the prequel movie and 8 episodes of season 1)

Started watching Sofia the First yesterday (I don't really know what compelled me) but it's pretty good actually??? Like... I thought I would regret starting it bc I'm not 5 and I'm certainly was never a girlie girl (hence why I probably never started it when I was 5) so I thought I'd be not interested but it's nice actually??

Other than the admittedly weird/jarring animation (not saying it's bad it just confuses me because sometimes the way the characters are drawn make it seem like 3D animation trying to be 2D but it also doesn't?) the show is good!

It's also a musical which surprised me a lot tbh, and the songs are actually certified bangers who is singing these. I've watched like 8 episodes and genuinely found 99% of the songs to be catchy af?

Sofia's singing voice is a bit annoying (to me, in my personal opinion) if you hear it often (eg. binging episodes like I have) but it's alright and boy are the songs good for a show like this

Also, inevitably, let's talk about Cedric. Unsurprisingly, I assume he's probably been popular in whatever fandom this show has (confirmed by a mere glance at the StF Tumblr tag). He's built like a twink, seems to have canonical daddy issues... set up to be the fan favorite fr fr. Also he's clumsy as hell which is so relatable He just... has his parents on the wall of his lair sorcerer's room thingy. Like his parents are so fucking weird like his dad is literally the best sorcerer ever and his mom is just... supportive? of ANYTHING he does? he could be plotting to take over a castle and bro is like "you go boy!"??? There's an entire scene where the dad is the angel on his shoulders and his mother is the devil. I got a good laugh out of that for sure LMFAO

On another topic, Sofia has an interesting family. So basically her mom and her married into royalty because the mom gave the king some cool shoes or something? epic I guess? And then the king has two children and now they're her step siblings which is cool I guess. Amber's kind of a bitch though tbh but James is kinda cool? How do you raise 2 completely different children in the same home. What was their bio mom like.

On the other hand, what happened to Sofia's bio dad? mmm burning questions that will probably never be touched by canon by beloved <3

[xaz-fr]

me, the most forgetful person in the world, forgetting something? Couldn't be! Anyway very overdue lair review for @korppipoika-fr x.x So sorry thank you for your patience

Look at this dog. I love this dog. Say it with me; you love this dog. I like that you actually went with a pretty bold neck/wing choice as it's easy to fall back on the standard dark or to match it with the midnight coloration of the accent. The tapir is almost a continuation of the neck smoke. Excellent dog.

Is that another good dog? Maybe. Probably. Look at THIS DOG. Real talk this skin is chef's kiss. Love the simple use of apparel to pull the skin further out of the screen. He's in the woods all alone tho with no one to pet him. Someone should def go give this dog a pet.

Now what is Charm? Is she the hedgehog? Or maybe one of the chimkins? Or is she just a cloud of smoke and aura?? Love when people use the Invisibility Cloak to make something fun/silly/spooky instead :D

Unfortunately I love him. Even if the moodboard with Padme's death lake dress has me giving you the side eye a bit. Blue and gold is SO underrated as far as color combos go but its perf.

Waht's this? Yet anothER GOOD DOG!!?!? You have so many good dogs in your lair how am I supposed to only pick one??? Love seeing an Autopilot skin out in the wild. Love her little hedgehog friend there too uwu

I love this skincent sm I love seeing it used. When I dressed it I went 'wildfire spirit' and you also went with a smokey smoldering fire motif. Love that. Like a forest fire after a rain and the ground is still smoking.
