I was planning to only talk about Ash themself in propaganda for @original-character-championship but, fuck it ! world lore time, since I want to explain why her name is that and give context for his story so lore is needed.

The entire story is about Ash fucking around and sticking her nose where she shouldnt. Btw. So if any of this intrigues you, you're identifying with him

There's one goddess. She herself doesn't know how she came to be. *Why* she came to be. She tried to make things, to fill this void she was in. First were the angels, in their own little village in space. They look like this. and their petals are more open the closer they are to the goddess

and they were entirely... unsatisfying. Boring. Angels are satisfied with how things are and never try to create anything of their own and it drives the goddess mad. She made them this way because she didn't want to give other beings too much power, didn't want to accidently mess something up, but now she can't understand her own creation. She keeps them to be messengers for her in cases of emergency.

Next were humans. Two things stand at the basis of humanity, to set them apart from the failed civilization. Those things are the want for knowledge, and the ability to create. Now, her way to not give too much power was the concept of mortality.

She wanted mortals to want to live. So she made demons, the guides to the afterlife, to look scary to them on purpose.

Humanity is basically a reflection of the goddess, made for her to help herself figure out what she wants by seeing what we end up wanting.

Once you die, you have three options:

1. live in your own little pocket of reality where everything in there is in your control- for better or for worse- forever, in a sort of goddess simulator. She likes to watch these guys to gain inspiration.

2. Remain a ghost, watching the world whilst being basically unable to affect it. Most people who choose this are either people with family they want to see what happens to, or just any type of grudge or attachment they want to see play out. Ghosts can possess objects and only objects, and might then get stuck in these objects. There are people who can see ghosts, it's a recessive gene that's incredibly rare and it's basically an accident. I have a character who's a ghost possessing a robot body that was made for her as a loophole.

3. Nothing more for you, ever. Sleep. An entirely valid choice.

Magic's all around this world, especially in nature. Witches are scholars who study how to use it. Maybe wizards would fit better but I just like the aesthetic and the sound of witches. I also like the connotation to modern witches. A big point of my oc world is it's urban fantasy, modern and all, and there aren't any modern wizards.

Witchcraft is a respectable career path in my oc world these days. It's seen as another branch of science atp. It's even figured out empirically, experiments sometimes held to figure out how witchcraft works, since it's just part of how the world works. It's like physics

Many hospitals have a resident witch who does what they can to help people. Since witchcraft is tied to nature, giving traits of an animal is a safe process. That's why Ash was made a parrot, to also get parrot lungs

Witchcraft is a respectable degree and has special schools for it. It used to be done by pretty much anyone who could comprehend it, but these days it's systemized so pretty much all witches are pressured rich kids

With how the world's magic is from nature, both flowers and gems have huge cultural significance. I chose a lot of motifs for characters with google open on meanings for gems and a floriography dictionary I downloaded.

Angels can actually watch humans through flowers around.

Ash's name, besides being there to be an opposite to demonboy Frost's name since they're meant to be total opposites in the narrative, is after an ash tree's flowers. Those flowers, in floriography, represent grandeur- standing for how all her story follows him seeing all sorts of grand things on accident.

LOOK at my notes we have motifs

don't ask why Juno gets three flowers. hes privileged

Ash working in a flower shop represents how they're surrounded by knowledge of this grand world all the time, but never are able to decipher it and are never truly aware. And also as an excuse for him to be able to recognize flowers easily so he can say the names so the audience can find the meanings easily 👍

that's all, folks ! hehe infodump

3 & 17 for the book asks?

Hiiiiii gem I hope you're keeping well!!! 💞💞💞

3. What were your top five books of the year?

Coming in with the big guns, huh!!!

The Murderbot Diaries by Martha Wells. I'm including all 5 novellas and the 1 full length novel in this because i can't be dealing with fractions and it would eat all the other spaces on the list. 10/10 worldbuilding, 10/10 bastardous snarky and goodhearted main character, 10/10 side characters all described in minimal detail because the mc doesn't care for details.

Superman Smashes the Klan – Gene Luen Yang and Gurihiru (2020) It's a comic book but it made me CRY twice! once for in-text reasons, one for the included essays by the creators of the comic about what inspired them to tell the story. It does exactly what it says on the tin.10/10 also.

Make Bosses Pay: Why We Need Unions – Eve Livingston (2021) nonfiction. it was so ENERGISING. A short read, about modern union orgnising, v relevant for ppl living in Ireland and the UK.

The Blue Castle – L M Montgomery (1926) I've read this book at least 5 times now and I love it every time. it's just about a 1920s woman going apeshit and deciding to live life on her own terms, because she's 29 so why not!

Night Watch – Terry Pratchett. Another reread. I read like 1 terry pratchett book a day for about a week in may. This one is always the most impactful. My notes from the time: "Oh, fascinating, particularly when taken along with the actual revolution and civil war things I’m imbibing – like It Could Happen Here, and Women’s war, two podcasts by Cool Zone Media. The idealist in me can’t help – being an idealist. But yeah this. Fucks. Also: love young vetinari and his aunt."

17. Did any books surprise you with how good they were?

There is No Antimemetics Division – Qntm (2020). This is a self-published book which was initially published as a series of interconnected SCP short stories. I won't claim it's like, an amazingly well written book. But it is REALLY REALLY GOOD for what it is.

It has cool fun scifi horror, really nailbiting stuff, despite its predictability. You know, all the delicious features of pulp. But ALSO . antimemes is fascinating - the idea of self-containing knowledge. Things that people avoid thinking about or struggle to understand. Like, antimemes exist. Dense texts, taboo subjects etc. and this story is like. what if a horror monster was antimemetic in that way? What if, when you look away, you can't remember that it's there?

And then at the end of the story, (disclaimer, this might be me reading entirely too much into the text) they knock it out of the park with a fascism metaphor! The brutality at the heart of fascism is the antimeme, the dark heart people avoid looking at it. really satisfying conclusion as well.

#me fein #I can't in good consciousness recommend the antimemetics book as a book per se #but if ur into scifi and/or scp stuff go for ittttttttt #it's super good #the murderbot diaries #scp #2022 #macbethwitches #murderbot

Frist nest from a new stock the pond pair on Flight Rising hatched today and all three of them are so pretty and matchy. One also has Multi-Gaze and I only have ever hatched a dragon with Multi-Gaze one other time. I want to keep them all but also I am running out of space and need gems for my other projects. I will probably wait till they are fully grown to decide weather I am keeping them or not. I would want to give them different genes at some point but they also look good with what they have now so if I do keep them they wont have to be another project.

I've just made the forum thread "Free purple-ish Coatls with 3 gem genes" in the Raffles and Giveaway thread.

If you like Coatls, purple-range ones especially, please consider checking out the thread or directly the "project" tab of my Hibden.

I have over 100 coatls that I need to get rid of because I don't have any more space, so if you want one just ask!

Note: they are NOT meant as fodder. I don't ask that you keep them forever, but I would rather exalt them myself if no one really intends to keep them at least a bit.

#flight rising #fr dragon sales #please please take them away from me #i wanted to keep them until i reached the goal just in case i might be able to create more breeding pairs #but i am completely out of space

will you write something about reader and harry having a 12 year age gap, but fans and everyone are really supportive of their healthy relationship? like they’re so in love. lots of fluff and maybe a tinge of smut? 🥺 love your writing 🥺🥰

old man

or, the one where Harry’s family loves Y/N and he loves her even more.

]part 2: old bones]

sorry for the wait, hope you enjoy babe <3 and thank you very much, that’s lovely to hear!!

requests go here:)

masterlist

•

“What d‘ya say, baby, red or white wine?“ Harry ponders, leaning one hip against the kitchen counter and holding up the two dark glass bottles in his hands, showing them to Y/N.

“I dunno, I‘d say red but Anne‘s not really a fan of it, so let‘s just take the white,“ she shrugs her shoulders, little animated hearts dancing around in her eyes from watching Harry look so fucking effortlesly hot for no damn reason. His sheer button-up that shows his vast collection of body ink and the way his black jeans fit snugly on his juicy thighs are the reasons her panties are drenched inside out.

Little does she know, he‘s thinking the exact same thing.

She stands in the kitchen doorway, dressed in a tight, sand colored turtleneck, black bell bottomed pants and the pointed-toe nude Louboutin heels Harry had gotten her for her last birthday, looking like Harry‘s next meal. All he wants to do, is take those pants, shove them down to her thighs, bend her over their glass dining table and bury his face in her cunt and ass.

But, they‘ve got places to be and people to see at the Styles-Twist family gathering.

Dead puppies, grandma boobs, cow udders is all that circles his head because nothing else can bring his boner down.

“Hey, where‘d you go?“ Y/N waves her hand in his face, seeing his spaced out face and eyes weirdly zoned in on her tits.

“Huh?“

“Y‘zoned out on me, Har, y‘okay?“ she slowly walks towards him with her brows furrowed, her heels making a really satisfying noise on the gray kitchen tiles.

“Oh, yeah, ‘m fine, kitty, just thinking ‘bout how pretty y‘are,“ he grins and tugs her in close by her love handles, then gradually migrates his hands down to her ass and gives it a firm squeeze once she‘s fully enclosed in his arms. And about how hard I want to fuck you, you fucking Goddess, he thinks to himself.

“Let‘s go then, bub, don‘ wanna be late. Been a while since we last saw your mum, I‘ve missed her,“ she smiles up at him. “And, wanna get home as soon as possible as well, also been a while since we used those handcuffs, huh?“

Harry watches as she bites her bottom lip and feels her dainty hands stroking up and down his back, and just as he‘s about to ram her against the wall to spank her and remind her how daddy doesn‘t like to be teased like that, she quickly slips out of his embrace and spanks his firm bum, telling him “let‘s go, Har“ and giving him a pointed look as if to silently tell him that she knows exactly what he‘s thinking.

‘‘‘

“Oh, yeah, since ‘m on winter break right now, me ‘n Harry started re-watching Friends, but my old man can barely keep his eyes open past 11, so it‘s been goin‘ really slowly,“ Y/N giggles, and that‘s the only part of the conversation Harry hears as he‘s approaching his lovie and Gemma, the two of them talking alone on the outside bench of Anne‘s back garden.

He feels finally free after hearing his uncle talk about the new corn he‘s been growing and how the high fiber content has really helped with his digestion for the past half an hour, and all he wants to do is throw Y/N over his shoulder, go home and fuck the ever living shit out of her. Maybe they won‘t even make it inside the house, he thinks, maybe he‘ll just take her in the car in the driveway.

“Hey, is the old man you‘re talkin‘ about supposed to be me?“ he pretends to be offended with raised brows and mouth open in mock offense, throwing his arm around his lovie‘s shoulders and leaning against the side of the bench in a hunched over sitting position with his bum right at the edge.

“Well, I don‘ really have any other old men watchin‘ Friends with me,“ she shrugs, her eyes regaining the light they get whenever Harry‘s around.

“Better not,“ he says in a stern tone, expression softening once again as he feels her hand on his thigh, rubbing softly in reassurance.

Then, he hears someone else giggle beside his baby, completely forgetting that Gemma‘s been sitting beside Y/N, because all he sees, knows and breathes is Y/N.

“You guys are so cute,“ Gemma giggles again and Harry notices just how tipsy his sister is from the sparkly look in her eyes, no doubt from the delicious wine set out on Anne‘s kitchen island. “Can I tell you a secret?“

“Go ‘head, Gem,“ he chuckles, brushing his fingers through lovie‘s soft hair, “jus‘ don‘ be mad at me if y‘gonna be embarassed by it for the rest of y‘life.“

“Oh, shut up,“ Gemma rolls her eyes, “I may be drunk, but ‘m not stupid, it‘s nothin‘ embarassing. Jus‘ wanted to tell you both how glad I am you two ended up together.“

“We‘re glad too, Gem, thank you,“ Y/N smiles at her, a fond look taking over her face from the realisation at how lucky she got with her sister-in-law. Or actually, Harry‘s whole family, really, and she feels beyond grateful for how accepted and loved she feels in it.

“No, like, ‘m sayin‘ just-just how grateful I am my brother ended up with someone so amazing, so understanding and just—overall such a great person. Really, at first, me ‘n mum were a bit skeptical because of—you know—the pretty big twelve year age difference and all, and Y/N bein‘ only eighteen when y‘met. But over time when we got to know you, you‘re mature beyond your years and I wouldn‘t wish Harry any other person. ‘M really glad that all the negative comments, looks and hate y‘both got at the start of your relationship didn‘t break you up or put any tiffs between you. Y‘gained the fans‘ trust, didn‘t let them overwhelm you. Just proves that no hardships can separate you‘s, you‘re meant to be.“

And Y/N‘s got tears in her eyes at the end of Gemma‘s mini speech, because she couldn‘t imagine hearing nicer words from her boyfriends family. If everyone genuinely thinks all of this about her, she‘s quite literally the luckiest person in the world.

Harry watches as Y/N doesn‘t hesitate to give Gemma a big, fat hug once she‘s done talking and all he thinks is how right Gemma is.

How right she is by saying that Y/N is the most fucking amazing thing to ever happen to him, how nothing can separate them and how they‘re meant to be. That‘s all Harry thinks about all day every day, and to think that his sister and probably the rest of his family have the same outlook on their relationship is like putting in the last missing piece of the puzzle.

Y/N pulls away from the hug and subtly wipes at her undereyes, “thank you, Gem. I just-I don‘ really know what else t‘say except thank y‘so much.“

“No, but seriously,“ Gemma grins at the next part she‘s about to say, “jus‘ the other day me and mum were talkin‘ about the adorable little buggers you‘d make with your good genes and all an-“

“Okay, Gem,“ Harry chuckles and takes the almost empty wine glass from her hand, “thank y‘for the kind words, but tha‘s all for tonight, I think.“

Gemma pouts, “hey, why‘d y‘take my wine?“

“C‘mon, let‘s go find Michal, he‘ll know what t‘do with ya,“ Harry smiles at his sister and helps her up from the bench and watches as she uncoordinately trots towards the door, heading inside of the warm house where the rest of his family are chatting away amongst eachother.

He stays behind and quickly leans down to whisper in Y/N‘s ear, gripping her thighs in both of his hands, “bathroom upstairs. In five minutes. Daddy doesn‘t like to wait.“ And walks away, catching up to his sister and leads her away to her boyfriend. He wants her, and he wants her now, because he physically cannot contain all of the love and absolute appreciation he has for her inside of him any longer.

Y/N just sits there with clenched thighs and an irregularly beating heart.

‘‘‘

“Fuck,“ Harry pants against his lovie‘s neck, keeping her hands pinned to the wall above her head by her wrists, “how are you this fucking beautiful, huh?“

“Fuck, please do something, Har,“ she mewls into his ear, desperately wanting to grind against something and longing to feel his cock lodged deep into her pussy.

“That‘s not my name,“ Harry growls and grips her wrists tighter.

“Daddy. Daddy, please fuck me, just-please, do something.“

“God, bunny, y‘drivin‘ me crazy. Can‘t fuck you here, don‘t want m‘family t‘hear you screamin‘ fo‘ daddy to fuck y‘ass harder. Gonna make it home, first. Or halfway.“ He grinds against one of her thighs and his cock is leaking so much precome he‘s sure there‘s gonna be a wet stain on his dark jeans once they get out of this Goddamn bathroom.

“Just stop talking, Daddy,“ she pants out, not really caring for the consequences of talking back to daddy at this exact moment and slots her lips to his own, immediately sucking his tongue into her mouth.

And Harry thinks he‘s gonna let her off for this one, because they both need it so much that the bloody rules daddy made can fuck right off through the window.

He moans into her mouth and takes his tongue out of it, quickly pulling back and looking into her eyes, “put your hand into your panties and feel how wet y‘are for me.“ And let‘s go of her wrists.

She does as she‘s told, feeling so fucking thankful for the small amount of friction she gets from her fingers quickly brushing on her clit as she passes it to her weeping hole and rubs her her pointer finger at the entrance of it.

Taking her hand out of her pants, she shows Harry her shiny, slick fingers coated in her juices.

“Suck on them like you‘d suck my cock.“ He rasps out with his hands put on either side of her head.

She takes them into her mouth and moans at her own mouth-watering taste, sucking her fingers to the back of her throat and gagging on them like she‘d gag on Harry‘s cock.

Harry moans out from the filthy sight and locks their lips together for a final time, “five minutes to say goodbye t‘everyone and then I want y‘in the front seat of m‘car with your pants in the back.“

redesign on Sigyn’s comic book outfit

👖: i played with the idea of the side thigh slit dress & it left a lot of open space oh her legs so i gave her long straps that connect to her shoes

🤍📿: her pearl jewellery is made more bold, making her look more sophisticated, i want her to be more decorated to give a more sense to the fact that she is the princess to a royal prince💅🏻

👸🏼: her head piece has been given more air for her head to breathe in & let her hair be more free, it also has the same patterns as her cape & gem from belt, it bonds the elements of the dress together

👗: overall her outfit is more strict, not so loose, and provides a better space to walk in

her cape has now more structure & is inspired by Friggas dress in Thor 1 https://pin.it/4c2ke9U

adding to the whole royal flare

& here her golden chest armour is now a soft top made out of the same fabrics as her skirt, i want this to be her “regal but comfy” outfit

💁🏼‍♀️ : good hair was looked highly upon in viking ages, especially if it was long and healthy , thus enforcing the need to be more hygienic, cleaning and brushing it, so if it looked well and was long ,you would carry it with pride, i would not be surprised that this beauty standard was carried into Asgard’s culture , as u can see in the films , many asgardians maintain long hair, thus i want her to be more open with it, as a sign of good health (and healthy genes) + giving her braids to play more upon her nordic heritage

responses to: /post/694126265196773376/

Like what if a pair you nested had 5 babies? Doesn’t that ruin your plans more than receiving your pair back

...No, they get the extras. Is this deal really that confusing for people? To reiterate: this project is for one specific color combination. Literally any dragon that isn't that, isn't mine to keep. The breeder keeps them for their own profit so no, it wouldn't ruin my plans if they had a 5 egg nest.

I still feel like this shouldn’t ruin your plans. You knew your den/lair space was limited yet didn’t think to keep some extra spaces somewhere incase something like this happened? What if a nest had more eggs than you could take?

I did, that's the thing. I had everything planned so this pair wouldn't be an issue for at least two months. The allotted space I had was for another pair that the other breeder's been really understanding about. (Big thank you to them! I can't name you, but you're awesome!) As for why I didn't simply expand...

I guess I just don’t understand why you can’t expand your lair/den and/or den 2 dragons.

I ran out of gem slots ages ago and my remaining "free" slots all require expensive items like genes or eggs. I've been spending my currency on gene projects that need to get done for this Halloween instead as that's more time sensitive. (Not that space is a problem anymore, thank you Undel!)

Not sure if losing this specific pair would've been worse though. It's a semi-rare color combo, yes, but I'm confident I could find more to breed down the line. It's the miscommunication (explained below) and messing up my plans that angered me more than the threat of losing them.

My only confusion is would you rather have had them go inactive with your dragons?

No, of course not, but he didn't tell me it was urgent nor did I know he'd have to stop playing. I found all that out after he denned my dragons. If he had just said that from the start, "Hey man, an emergency came up and I gotta stop playing for an indefinite amount of time," I'd be like "okay, I have no room but I'll work on it" and make room as quickly as possible, but, initially, he just said I needed to take my dragons back. When I said I didn't have room, he told me to take my time before getting angry & denning less than 24hrs later. I get now that he was just being polite, but that doesn't seem like the thing you should say in a crisis.

This just sounds like a cautionary tale to not embark on more than one breeding project at the same time if space is an issue.

Yes, well, with breeding projects taking weeks to months, sometimes even years (my record is nearly two years,) I don't have that luxury. Plus the issue was the other person bailing suddenly then being coy as to why it had to happen. It's never happened to me before so I've never had to waste spaces on emergency scenarios like this. Either way, it's happened and thanks to some lucky circumstances, I'm no longer in crisis myself. I still regret the way I handled things but 🤷 c'est le vie

As someone who host nests a lot, I probably wouldn’t accept this job as you described unless this pair was really likely to give out what you’re after. 2 stacks of food only lasts so long and depending on how likely it is to get what you’re after, someone could be breeding long after the dragons have eaten through those stores and now into what I’m personally having to pay for. Regardless of how many dragons I got from this, I don’t have the time to grind and level them. I can’t see this even braking even on my side in the end.

And that's totally okay. ❤️ I get that not everyone has time for exalting, but even if you were to sell them as fodder at 7g, that's anywhere from 7-35g per nest. I don't think I've ever seen anyone charge that much for a nest rental so there's profit to be had if you ever consider it.

As for the food situation: I know they don't last forever so I offered to buy more food stacks later down the line, they just needed to tell me when they need it. I try to be conservative with what I offer because I don't want to waste 5+ stacks on a miracle first timer or something like that.

DWF Advice

I’ve done the DWF and tbh I wouldn’t recommend it to most users. The people are great, the service is very generous, BUT. If your project is urgent to you, it’s a LONG wait to be picked up usually. Then you’ve put 50kt into a project that will cost way more than that. So you’re reliant on your person having the time, money, and lair space for your project. Plus they’re likely juggling multiple wishes.

That disclaimer they give that wishes could take ~6mo to be picked up and 1y+ on top of that to be bred is TRUE. That is not worst case scenario stuff, that’s the result of a person breeding for three correct genes, the correct eyes, and the proper breed for at least one dragon, maybe a pair, for only 50kt that didn’t go to them individually, but rather went to the DWF bank and will likely be allocated to the trickiest wishes. Meaning they’ve got to fund a whole breeding project mostly out of pocket, find all the right colored dragons themselves (albeit with more resources), hunt down nest rentals for a LOT of starter pairs, keep up with breeding cooldowns, find lair space, etc. Plus they have other wishes, and they probably still want to do personal projects and have fun on site. Plus they have lives. It adds up!

If money is your biggest “limiting factor” and you don’t mind wait time, you should do it - they finance most of the project. But if you want the dragon ASAP, start the project yourself and save up as you work. Imo, most problems with the DWF come from impatient people. If you know that’s you, eat the cost and do the project yourself. That way you can choose to make it a priority and pursue it aggressively instead of relying on a person who’s already juggling a lot for no benefit to themselves beyond the satisfaction of helping others (which is real! But your project likely won’t be their biggest FR priority the way it’s yours, if it is indeed yours).

Like I said, the people are very generous and I’m thankful for the breeder I got paired with who gave me my dream dragon for almost no money or effort on my part and lots of both on theirs. But I made my wish when I was very new and didn’t have much money nor know how quickly I could get money over the course of a project. By the time my wish got picked up, I realized I could already afford to do it myself. By the time it got finished, I realized I could have bred the right colors and gened the dragon myself in probably 1/3 of the wait time. I’m of course still very thankful to my breeder and expressed that profusely to them - I only mean to say, I should have considered more carefully how doable the project was myself.

So basically: the DWF people are VERY sweet and generous, but before you place a wish, think about how realistically you could do it yourself (with the understanding that you will likely make enough over the course of the project to afford all needed genes, even triple gem, and perhaps a breed scroll for non imps) and how important it is to have the dragon NOW. If you’re gonna want that dragon ASAP, the best person to do that is YOU. And if you do make a DWF wish anyway, understand that any impatience and frustration is on you - not your breeder and not the people running it, because they warned you.

i kinda want to start breeding projects, but i wanted to ask how exactly can you start on that and how do you... do it, if that makes sense? do you have like a guide on that? im very new to fr

Breeding Projects with Grovey!!!

Hiya! I can do a rundown. First of all: it's not for everyone LMAO but for me it's one of FR's main draws, I don't play super actively all the time, and I rarely buy new dragons, so having just a long term breeding project or a tricky tricky color combo to go for keeps me invested in-game and lets me casually maintain my lair.

Things you need:

Basic Knowledge of how dragons inherit colors and genes! I won't go over that here haha

Lair space! you're making lots of babies!

Budget/Treasure, if you're planning on buying some genes instead of breeding for them, and/or...

Knowledge of gene rarities (there are guides in the forums) if you're breeding for them instead of buying genes.

I'm gonna use one of my current, but relatively simple breeding projects as a sample~

First order of business: Figure out the goal.

So I want an Aura Blackquill fandragon as my next project, so here's my scry! This project is a little flexible:

Skydancer!!!

The primary can only be Pink Fade, so this is set.

The secondary must be Alloy gene, but there are a couple colors near Cerulean that are similar enough that I wouldn't mind. So I'll say my goal range is between Caribbean and Turquoise.

Tertiary: Must be Stained, but both Fuchsia and Magenta work.

Fade is a pretty cheap Primary so I don't mind shelling out for that too much. Skydancer is a bit more pricey. But what I really want to avoid is paying for two gem genes! So...

Next order: See the feasibility! Start looking for dragons!

Okay, realistically: you probably wont find a dragon with the exact combo you want. But you should go ahead and see if the dragon or colors you want exists first, haha.

I didn't do this actually, but anyway, most of the dragons for my search were on dead lairs, and I would have needed to gene them up and spent a lot of money.

So you expand your search to find viable dragons. You should probably go to the AH first for dragons already on sale, but honestly I just go straight, to the site dragon search.

With my ranges in mind (Pink, Carib-Turquoise, and Fuchsia/Magenta) I use the color range search tool.

Instead of putting those exact ranges, I usually count up and down another 5 or so colors to expand my choices. For example on the goal of Pink Primary, 5 colors above is Magenta, and 5 colors 'down' is Cream (actually it loops around the color wheel, but you get it)

From there I look over the dragons born recently. If there are a lot of choices, I can try limit it down to 3 colors so my breeding range is tighter. If there's a lack of dragons, then I slowly expand.

Colors are more important in breeding since you can apply genes, so I look out for dragons that are most likely to produce the goal colors I want. There are tools like the Flight Rising Hatchling Probability Calculator you can google to figure out the likelihood.

That said, I also look for dragons that have breeds/genes that either match my goal genes or are at least on the same or higher rarity.

That said- Nocturne Scrolls and Smirch are super cheap, free sometimes during NOTN! I find them very useful if you're breeding for a specific non-gem gene tert or species to help nudge breeding rarities in your favor.

But since I have two expensive gem genes on this project, I do try to look for dragons that have gem secondaries and tertiaries.

Basically I just browse and see how easily I can get the goal colors, and see if I can also breed for some of the final genes myself.

I got pretty lucky on this one, because I found a dragon with BOTH Alloy and Stained! The secondary is a bit far from my goal range, but it's workable. And then I found a dragon with colors very close to my final range with all gem genes (the nocturne)

So I decided that I will try to breed for Alloy and Stained in addition to the goal colors, but I might scroll Fade and Skydancer myself.

Buying Dragons Time

Note: always remember to check if the dragons are related first before buying them for breeding!

so if the dragons are already in the AH for a good price I just buy them. But the reason I go straight to site dragon search is that, usually, a lot of them are in exalt lairs or otherwise belong to people willing to sell them!

Check on the lair, see if they are active first. See if the dragons are in exalt tabs. Check their profile to see if they say they are an exalting lair and if they already have guideline for selling fodder. If they do, just follow what's on their profile. Some ask that you just CR them straight away.

It can't hurt to ask! I send them a message like "dragon/fodder inquiry," and in the body of the PM I LINK the dragon I want to buy in question and ask them if they are selling. Most of the time, I get the dragon~

The Waiting Game

From then on it's just breeding them until you get the desired combo. While I feel I have a good set of starters for this project, I used the probability calculator and the reality is, my chance at the right colors is still only about 3.5% in an average nest- and that's not even counting the right genes!

So you have to keep searching for new dragons that can work with your project every now and then and help narrow your range. In the meantime, if my current pair pops out dragons with good combos (like very close/correct colors, or the right set of genes!) then I keep them on standby in case I find a breeding partner.

Sometimes, I end up with breeding pairs just to make more breeding pairs. 3.5% may sound like barely a chance, but not when you have like 5 pairs that all have roughly the same chance of your goal dragon!!!

Rinse and repeat, and stay strong~

I'm from a different dimension actually Chapter 9 Damian x reader

"What is this place, why is it shaped like a T?" We stand on an island with this enormous building smack in the center of it the sunset shade casting a large shadow over us, I can't get over how ridiculous it looks. Or contemplate my confusion, Nightmare makes an unimpressed huff and nuzzles back into my shoulder.

"Titan's tower."

"why would this be a good place to hide? It's the most obvious building here, I ran with you for several days I'm beginning to think I would be safer under my floorboards." He walks up to the doors and pulls out a card holding it in front of the circular panel. It beeps and a clicking noise comes from the door.

"Believe me this would be a better place for you." I sigh a form of any and all anxiety pools in my body, but I still meet him at the now unlocked door.

"Alright fine but you need to explain to me why here of all places."

"When we get inside." The doors swing open, the area behind it lights up leading to what I assume is an elevator. I'm pulled inside not giving me a chance to look around. "Hey!" He doesn't answer but pulls us into the elevator, I don't see him push a button but we almost immediately move up. It's fast but not as fast as the one I had to go down for training at Xavier's School for Gifted Youngsters. Though the feeling is familiar and I start missing my classmates all over again. I rub the wrist that Damian was holding to dragging me here. Nightmare growls at the space moving him and interrupting his nap. The space stops and the door opens to an open space that looks like a large living room. a white angled couch a large kitchenette and an impossibly large TV by open glass windows. The room has several people all staring at us, my anxiety hits me tenfold and I take a step back. A hand is at my shoulder the moment I do and pushes slowly while moving itself. The doors close signaling that I'm truly stuck here, a woman with Neon pink hair and bronze skin zooms up to us.

"It's so good to see you, and I see you brought a friend. Richard has been looking all over for you."

"I know that's why you can't tell him we're here." I'm pushed forward. "She's a mutant possessing the X-Gene, my father wants to interrogate her for the information, she needs to stay here till a better solution becomes present. Can she stay here?"

"Well of course she can stay-"

"What?!" Nightmare jumps from my arms and hisses. I walk backward, taking in this new information. "How did, you find out when-when." Fear creeps how long had he known how much trouble was or might be in. But he didn't mention this. but then again why would he. How does he know about the X-Gene though, from the research I did there were none here with it. The closest there was were Metahumans but even they didn't have anything close. My back hits the wall and I return to the world Nightmare growls standing guard in front of me. Everyone who was in the room now stood in front of me, a boy that was green from head to toe, another girl in a purple cloak and unitard, and another boy with something attached to his back. The pink-haired woman steps forward, but Nightmare swats at her yowling as a warning to keep away. She raises her hands in surrender but looks at me.

"There is no need to be afraid, I knew people like you, Jean Grey, Cyclops. they came here by accident once a few friends and I helped them get back. It would have been 7 years ago now." Damian steps forward Ignoring Nightmare, guilt is painted slightly on his face he tries to coax me from the wall. "I'm sorry I knew since the time you showed me, I checked my recorder after that visit and played it back home in front of everyone. I was to find out more from you and report back after we scanned those samples that healed me. When we were ready I was supposed to bring you back with me for interrogation with confirmation of your mother's research." Something snaps inside me and I glare at him.

"So all that was for those stupid journals. Wow, for how long were you faking nice. No, don't tell me it'll just feel worse. " I put a hand on my face willing the emotions of confusion to stop. A crackling noise makes its self known in front of me followed by screams.

"Holy Crap that thing has tentacles coming from its face!"

"Ahh!"

I gasp at the sight Nightmare had gone full flerken and is attempting to drag Damian in. I lunge at Nightmare dragging him across the floor. He lets go of Damian but he hasn't changed back to cat form. "Nightmare No! Calm down I'm fine I swear it! Stop!" The black fuzzball retracts his tentacles and hisses at the crowd.

"I'm sorry, he gets like that when he sees me upset sometimes. Not sure if you have them here but he's half flerken, they look like cats but they're quite deadly." I set Nightmare down and he crawls behind my legs once again hissing particularly at the green boy how has gotten closer, he turns into a green cat making Nightmare run in the process. Damian limps forward his leg is bleeding through his suit. I would let that heal naturally if only wounds inflicted by Nightmares in the flerken form never heal normally on their own.

"Y/N these are the Titans, the one mimicking your," he waves his hand in the air as if to find the world. "flerken is Garfield." He points to Nightmare being chased my the green cat attempting to lose him. The bronze woman glides forward stomping a foot from me the others followed behind.

"Hello my name is Starfire you can call me Kori, this here is Raven," She points to the purple girl then moves her other hands to the boy. "and this is Jaime. We are pleased to have you here Y/N." She grabs my hand pulling me away from the middle of the room where I had landed. "Now let's get you settled in I'll talk to Damian for a bit after." Nightmare notices my leaving and jumps onto my right sholder hissing at the green-skinned boy.

_____________________________________________________________

I honestly don't know how to feel, to be honest, I should have guessed it so it's my fault. I could have left him and then this wouldn't have happened, but then he would have died in my apartment. Could have been more hostile, but then he definitely would have gone with the kidnapping strategy and I would be already in the hand of batman. Now I'm in the known world of their superheroes, the superheroes know about the Crows and they know about the X-gene. That information can go from good to bad in minutes. Though Kori did know about Jean and Scott, though it was years ago they have traveled through many universes with a small team. I would have been about 10 when this happened and my mother didn't take me there for classes till I was 12. In their lectures, they didn't mention anything like this they did bring in Doctor Strange to teach those of us who could understand how to perform magic. I Now I'm sitting on an insanely comfortable bed knees curled up to my chest just reminiscing. I have been told to use my abilities only when necessary as not to attract any unwanted attention. But what did I do, I screw up my chances of living normally till Doc Strange can pull me back only to find I'm not in my home where I should be. Everything was going so smoothly till now.

The door opens behind me and by the almost silent footfalls, I can tell it's Damian. Nightmare has jumped into my arms forcing me to let go off my legs and watch as the boy drags a chair to face me.

"I suppose you want the whole story now," I said barely looking at him.

"I wasn't going to talk about that yet."

"What did you think you would find in the journals that my mother wrote?"

"An answer on how to stop the Crows."

"You most likely will."

"Than what's in them."

I sigh looking him dead in the eye, pulling myself together for this.

"My mother didn't only study history, in my dimension, she studied all sorts of fields one day she was asked to study something and was gone for almost six months. We hardly heard from her but just enough to know she was alive so naturally when she came back she swore me into secrecy. She explained that she had gone to another world entirely, she studies with them and when she came back more time had passed than when she was there. One journal explaining how she got the and how to get in and another explaining what she found, and the rules for everything she experienced there. She learned things no human should know and kept it from the people she worked for and everyone else. She-she found Avalon, lived among the fey in return for her curiosity and genuine interest they helped her make a guide and history of all fairy and Fae both the pure and the equally disturbed." I reach in my bag and pull out the books from missing from the very research my mother so loved. One being ordinary leather-bound and the other two bear a glowing purple gem on both sides of a very purple dark Tome thick and pooling with some sort of energy as the gem. I give him a serious look gripping both books. "She left it to me but I haven't read them yet, I...I couldn't bring myself to. It might be better used in your hands anyway. Though I shouldn't I still trust you for some reason, so under the conditions that you only use what you find for the better of those in need you may find your information. The journals, however, will stay within my sight understood." He nods, I start to give the leather books to him he stops me.

"I don't want to see them before you," He takes the books from my hands and places them back in the bag. "If you are convinced that I should still read them, then I will convince where ever you wish to study them." He sits on the bed next to me staring out the window. "What I want to talk about is how we get Father not to view you as a threat and as a friend. I went over it with Starfire and we both agree this is the best option." He pauses before he continues. "We're you a hero in your world?"

"You want me to do hero's work and gain a positive reputation so that he's more willing to work with me than slowly forcing out of me."

"Yes."

"How do you know about the X-gene?"

"It was in our database from when Jean Grey and Cyclops had visited. They helped take down an invasion of the skrul and took them back with them to their own dimension. Father took some DNA samples to work with and ask about their abilities. There are entire folders on the subject alone." He pauses again running a hand through his hair. "I'm sorry."

"It's not your fault."

"Not for that, for everything else."

"Yes that is very much on you but it's also on me. But if I had left you with Crow poison in your blood you would either turn into an undead flesh puppet in my room or die. That would not have gone down well for either of us. I was also mostly upset you broke my window and wanted compensation," I see him visibly tense and clench his teeth. "and didn't even bother to say thank you."

"I Fixed your awful goddammed window isn't that thanks enough." He glares at me.

"Was it? After all, you did spy on me and report it to the Dark Knight." I fall back onto the bed. "There's no getting out of this now might as well get used to it."

"You shouldn't be this comfortable with what's happening, I wouldn't"

"Then why are you smiling ya weirdo, It's almost creepy."

"Tsk, just hand me your computer so I can pull up Star Trek, I would like to finish and begin the movies." I hand him my laptop and he walks over to the wall in front of the bed.

"Um, you know we watch on that computer you making a get away with."

"Yes but the enormous 4k TV is here." He pushes a button I didn't even see before and as promised a TV appears. He smirks at what I assume is my expression. He opens my computer and within minutes Star Trek is cast on the TV. "Please hold your applause till after the show."

"Did you just make a joke? Are you joking now?"

"Aren't I allowed to have a sense of humor?" I Look at Nightmare who has the same thought in his head and I look back at Damian.

"Nope, Nada, No way."

"You know, you're the only one who has talked to me that way and lived."

"I should consider myself lucky then huh."My gaze falls to his leg, It's poorly bandaged so I pull my scales and Med-kit from my bag. " But before I forget I need to treat your leg before your tissue becomes necrotic. You can watch while I work, but you need to swallow one more of the "glittered plastic"."

_____________________________________________________________

"How do you make them?"

"The scales?" I pause stoping the wrap on the angry-looking tentacle mark on his skin.

"What do you think I was talking about?" I smile evilly.

"I thought you were talking about my jokes and wonderful sense of humor." I tie off the bandage and put away my first aid kit. "But If you must know it has to rain first, and I have to be in it. The acidity in the rain is was caused the scales to form but there has to be enough of it. In Gotham, the rain has plenty of it, It soaks into my skin and drains my health which is why I was sick for so long. In return for taking my health, the scales form with healing agents that even baffle me. Normally I would take one and feel fine after but someone decided to take them."

"Do you pull them off?"

"Takes too long and much too painful, I just pour scalding hot water on myself and they pull away from the skin. I clean them and there you have it. Health restoring scales." He stares at me, like I said I pour milk before cereal and then pop it in the microwave for 30 seconds in that order.

"Aren't there better ways to remove them?"

"Yes, but those are back at Xavier's School for Gifted Youngsters I couldn't pack it with me so I had to find other methods."

He silent again so I put my stuff in the closet, take my Suit out from the bag, and place it on the hanger, the vibranium fibers shimmer in the soft lights then I stuff the rest of my things in there. I have to tell Professor Xavier what's happened on the check update next week with any luck the multi-functional com-piece found the data by now and I can see what they already know. I inwardly sigh, closing the closet and making my way back to the bed. I see Damian drawn into the scene playing on the screen, Data has made his sacrifice saving the Enterprise. I wasn't expecting to last the cleaning to last that long, but then again the poisons from the suction cups dug deeper than I thought. I put some more things away in drawers even though I didn't have much to bring. "We probably should head to bed, I imagine I have to do a proper introduction and demonstrate some form of my power."

"Yes, probably." He gets up grabbing the two scales I gave him for when he starts feeling pain again. Moving swiftly to the door, he takes one more look back then leaves. My eyes fall on Nightmare who sleeps soundly on the end of the bed. I Climb into the warm comforter letting the warmth surround me. I don't even notice myself drifting till all I can hear is static signaling that tonight was going to be a dreamless one.

_____________________________________________________________

"What exactly can you do?" Starfire walks me down to the center of a metallic room filled with weapons and tools, no doubt the training room. I look around more absorbing the room but still answer the question.

"If I see something I can almost instantly learn it or adapt to it, powers, fighting styles, languages I just have to see or hear it. I've had to control it in order not to learn everything and overload happened one time was not pretty."

"What do you mean by almost instantly?"

"Things like shape-shifting are hard to master, but if I concentrate enough I can alter my physical appearance though it takes five minutes to get there and can't hold the form very well after an hour. The first time I saw someone change form my body tried to copy it but I broke my hand instead. But oddly enough I can learn most other powers and knowledge just fine."

"Really? Well just to check could you copy this?" Starfire lifts her hand and green energy forms around it. I lift my hand to match hers and form the same energy in my body, though not green It's a lilac purple. "Sorry still have trouble getting the colors right." The woman stares in awe at my hand, the knowledge of how to use the ability is stored in my memory. I turn my hand light off and look around. She had given me the tour of the building and probably saved this for last to test what I can do. They did the same at XSFGY and had us fight in the ever-changing challenge/training room. I hear the door open and two cheery voices call out.

"Hey Y/N, about to train?" Garfield, the boy in green calls out from the railing where the door is accompanied by Jamie how still looks half asleep.

"I was just about to test her now, could you all stay there, I'm going to pull the full immersion-based training." She floats to a podium on the far side of the room. the area around me pixelated before stilling into a jungle heat and all. Monsters appear from the undergrowth enough level but not easy looking. I raise two fingers to the sky and strike lightning on them Increasing the voltage when one didn't go down, I even open a few portals in the body to warp holes from the flesh. It took about a few minutes to finish and for the simulation to fall. The dark misty cloud vanishes when I flick my wrist. I hear cheering from the side, I turn to face them everyone was now there.

"No way! Did you just see that!!" Jamie is now wide awake sharing an amazing look with Garfield, Raven is a little shocked, while Damian holds a stoic face. I feel a hand on my shoulder and follow it up to the orange-haired woman. I don't catch that she isn't stopping and is dragging me out of the room. With the way her hand had angled, I dragged out facing the other people in the room. She moves so fast that they get so small to quickly "You did excellently today, I'm so happy to welcome you to the team! We shall celebrate with a feast fit for kings and I shall cook it."

"Wait!"

"Kori!"

"Aw hell no!"

"YOU COOKED THE OTHER DAY!"

They all start running after us, shouting and trying to stop the woman. I feel refreshed after getting the OK for using my powers finally releasing some of the tension I've felt. I feel exhausted though, probably anticipating all the social interactions yet to come.
