Mod update :)

Hey everyone! The other day we talked about handing off the blog to someone else. This got tricky as we wanted to do right by you.

We’ve ended up adding three new mods. Before, we had me (Saltmin), Secretmin, Catmin, and a mod who hadn’t chosen a name (now Minmin lol). Now we have added Bunnymin, Chaosmin, and Dinomin! This should help a looot.

The reason historically I haven’t done mod apps or anything like that is that it’s so high risk. For someone to be a mod, I have to give them access to quite a bit of sensitive information. This always made it feel impossible to add new people, so I just added people based on vibes when they offered to join as a mod.

Sorry for the jumpscare about handing over the blog. I posted that in a moment of defeat. We discussed that very briefly after all stating our irl overwhelm. Thank you if you sent kind messages, they’re so sweet. 🙂 and if you offered to help out, thank you so much for that as well!

across the spider-verse characters, but as flight rising dragons

𝟣. miles morales: obsidian/sanguine/ruby

2. gwen stacy: orca/magenta/magenta

3. pavitr prabhakar: crimson/oilslick/vermilion

4. hobie brown [wildclaw] [ridgeback]: crimson/garnet/obsidian

edit: someone on discord made a good point that hobie shouldnt be the most expensive kind of dragon, so i added a ridgeback alt version! f pose ridgeback, since theres apparel layering issues on the m pose

5. miguel o'hara: sapphire/garnet/ruby

6. jessica drew: vermilion/obsidian/oilslick

7. peter b. parker: sapphire/vermilion/vermilion

---------------------

design notes about the scries, below the cut:

𝟣. miles morales

the patterns from his genes already reflected miles' spider-suit patterns well, so his scry doesnt have a lot of apparel

the bewitching ruby pendants represents his spider logo

2. gwen stacy

gwen has runes tert, because there werent any suitable pink glove apparels (the peony ones dont match well)

i considered giving the scry banana noxtide as a secondary to mimic her hair's pink hairlights, but it didnt mesh well

3. pavitr prabhakar

i couldn't figure out how to represent pavitr's spider logo, so i just gave his scry a necklace in lieu of it

the "navy bandana" was way too big and the color didnt match, so i opted for the "sky blue fillet" to represent his headband

4. hobie brown

hobie's scry/outfit was surprisingly easy to come up with, and was the first one i did

he gets a lute because theres no guitar apparel

his patchwork secondary represents his collage art style

5. miguel o'hara

i chose banescale for miguel, as his spider-suit is so simple/streamlined that it wouldnt translate well to apparel + skeletal tert being spiky is reminiscent of his arm spikes

[insert steven universe joke here about his colors being sapphire/garnet/ruby]

6. jessica drew

i thought about representing jessica's motorcycle with the "flameforger crucible" or "igneous iguana" apparels, but they were too bulky unfortunately

vermilion skink doesnt have her exact shade of yellow, but is close enough that oilslick peacock's yellow accent color balances it out visually

7. peter b. parker

fissure secondary represents the spider web pattern on peter's spider-suit

i know his slippers are supposed to be blue, but the "mage's peony socks" looked better here

the bookworm plushie is a stand-in for mayday

if youve made it to here, feel free to comment which fandragon scry is your fav! :)

i hate eggposters

[ruthlesslistener]

Love making fandragons for my favorite characters! Hate being able to share them in the fandom discord I'm in because someone refuses to shut the fuck up about how much they hate one of them, no matter how many times I get upset about it

[bladehorror]

Literally screaming

I got the Discord pair a little over a week ago. Sent them to a Plague nest. They wegged me.

And the ONE HATCHLING HAS THE COLOURS I WANTED

The chance to hatch a Ginger/Splash/Grapefruit Imperial out of that nest was 1 in 196. This is BATSHIT. I am flabbergasted. This is entirely Discord's brand. I am not complaining.

[cuddlecave]

oh wowow i had no idea you played FR! i actually saw that approved skin you posted earlier today/yesterday(?) (from a bot that checks for new skin uploads on discord) and i figured it was a super cute custom! it's always a joy to see fellow FR players out in the wild :]

bro i fuckin' LOVE FR. i love dress-up doll sorta websites, and all the different dragon breeds wearing the various clothes differently is so n i c e also i have a benb fandragon that i also made a custom accent for :B

(i need to get him the constellation gene. cosmic bro gotta have his space wings)

[maficmystery-fr]

Another fandragon,,, but one of mine this time. 

I have a running joke with some of my friends that originated from designing a whole bunch of bungo stray dogs fandragons while on a discord call, and at the time of making their outfits, there really weren’t as many pants apparel items as there are now. Because of this, certain fandragons didn’t get pants, and it evolved into deciding which characters “deserved” pants or not. 

Dazai does not deserve pants.

List 5 things that make you happy, then put this in the ask box for the last 10 people who reblogged something from you! Get to know your mutuals and followers! (Happy new year!!! Here’s a cookie 🍪)

 This looks fun Five things that make me happy, things that make me feel happy are rare, but cherished things for me.1. I love playing this browser dragon breeding game called Flight rising. Its best breeding game out there. I really love to make fandragon based on characters I love. Currently I have all the skeksis (except for introduced in the aor: books ) 2. What makes me the happiest is watching whatever show I am obsessed with at the moment. Currently my show interest is Dark crystal: AOR3. I really love to create photoshop memes of whatever Show Im into. It’s my way of stress relief 

4. I enjoy going to the mall/book store in search for items, I can buy. When Im really unhappy impulse buying a lot of things

5. Though I have a social anxiety and form of social PTSD from past abuse, I do really love chatting with people on discord. 

[saltminerising]

Can we please get a stop on the Aura racism topic soon? I think it's devolving into just bickering. Nothing new is being added to it.

Pausing all discussion until new information is released. 🐉

[golden-lionsnake]

I would offer to stream it for people on discord but there’s already a thousand streams of it on YT so lololol

Icon Stereotypes 2 Electric Boogaloo

I'm not the original person who did the avatar icon stereotype stuff but figured I'd add in mine because it seems like fun.

Guardian: Either a veteran player with fifty different how-to guides in the forums, or a new player with no experience beyond "ooh pretty dragons."

Mirror: Does nothing but post in the forums for three days straight and then goes radio silent for two weeks. Rinse and repeat.

Fae: Really shy and doesn't post much but really nice when you start talking to them. OR they're loud, post more than anyone else, and kind of a nightmare to talk to -- I swear most scammers or lowballers are those with fae icons.

Tundra: Introverted, lurks the forums and discords but hardly posts, but when you look at their lair half of it is incredibly well written lore with lots of art and the other half is joke dragons with purble-esque humor.

Imperial: Not a G1 collector but has that stereotypical G1 lair aesthetic where all of their dragons are triple gem gened and are dressed in flowerfalls, silks and UMAs. 

Coatl: 50% chance they're an artist or accent maker. Almost always have a really consistent lair with one aesthetic but all of their dragons have individual lore and outfits.

Wildclaw: G1 collector, their icon is their most expensive dragon. It has a metric ton of lore and art. This person is on every single FR artist's pinglist and they only ever buy art of this one dragon. You didn't even know they had other dragons in their lair until you looked.

Skydancer: Dominates the dragon share forum. Either they have a single-aesthetic lair or every single one of their dragons are XYZ and completely different from each other. Changes their icon often.

Pearlcatcher: Seems like these are always the people who write a lot. May run a lore shop but they definitely have lore for ALL of their dragons. Makes headcanons for dragons they haven't even bought yet. Has unlocked all of their lair slots but has only filled maybe a fifth of it. Wishes there were more lair tabs. They write all of their BBCode themselves and/or run an open-use thread for their bio codes OR they have never touched coding in their life but somehow have beautiful bio layouts anyways.

Spiral: Dragon capitalists, usually G1 flavored. Half of their forum posts are in item and dragon sales. If they buy a dragon off the AH there's a 50% chance it's a new project or they bought it to flip. Could fist fight the marketplace and win because they have ten times the gene scrolls that it stocks. If you see this person post in an auction it's already over.

Snapper: Usually casual players. Does a little bit of everything; runs a fodder operation, plays the fairegrounds and coli, breeds cute dragons. Most of the time they're not a G1 lair but if they are they have a whole tab of unfinished projects that they bought a year ago and still haven't gened. Always has at least one joke dragon.

Ridgeback: Goes absolutely ham in the coli and has a whole tab dedicated to all of their level 25s. Has a team for every venue with the most optimal elements. Always does all of their dailies. Times themselves to see how fast they can max out their daily treasure cap playing Glimmer and Gloom. Most likely users to play FR on a gaming rig with RGB lights while drinking an energy drink and playing glitch hop playlists in the background.

Bogsneak: Used to be a casual player but went completely wild after Baldwin was released. Has a maxed out cauldron and makes all of their money by melting down materials. Always has a 30 minute timer running on their phone. Never hoardsells. Has a maxed out hibernal den but not a maxed out main lair. Most likely user to have a hoard of a particular item.

Nocturne: Most likely to have fandragons and OC dragons. Has at least one tab dedicated to a fandom. Decks their dragons out in so much apparel that you're not even sure there's a dragon under there. Always gem-broke.

Ancient breeds: Mostly just casual players; 99% of the time runs a hatchery with twenty different pairs. But if it's a dark colored ancient with a UMA it's absolutely a G1 collector with a huge, impressive lair. Just don't look at their hibernal den because it houses half of their lair count in projects, each one takes three months to gene because they all have expensive scries (but also because they keep immediately geneing their impulse buys).

Not all of these are going to be super accurate because it's just from my perspective but maybe I've got some right.

wait howd you get banned from fr

I happened to be playing actively with some people who live p. close to me, and made the mistake of doing cheap commissions for them in exchange for fr money without logging it onsite. I’m not really comfortable with taking irl money from people who can’t really afford it, and I’m not comfortable with setting up a doodleshop because drawing for strangers terrifies the fuck out of me, so I just had them pay me in treasure for doodles of their characters (usually the fandragons of their characters on fr). Because they’re casual players, I also allowed them to pay me over time/with items, which probably looked like multiaccounting/account funneling from an outside perspective.

I wasn’t doing anything outside of the bounds of site policy, and I didn’t have an advantage over other players by letting my friends commission me for doodles bc I was working for the fr money/I am SUPER uncomfortable with playing with strangers, but because of this, I didn’t realize that it looked suspicious until we got banned, rip. I told everyone what happened after they messaged me and we all sent in tickets/I sent in a ticket and one with proof after I accidentally sent it in the wrong category, but it’s been over a month now and only one of them has gotten a response of ‘your account will stay locked’ (my sister) so I’m very :/, because even if we’re all separate people, if staff thinks we’re one...that’s not good news for me, or the two others who were getting serious about fr playing Log your comms onsite, folks. I’d be waaay more pissed about this happening if I wasn’t such a fucking dumbass about it. Even if I didn’t do anything outside the bounds of site policy, that’s still suspicious as hell and I know I wouldn’t appeal my ass without the proof of it, so if you’re doing commissions over discord or in person (well, in times of the pandemic, via email/text), then log them onsite with how much your friends ‘owe’ you so that nobody gets tangled up with the cheaters

Spiced him up a bit. Now he also has his red snake tail!
