ok before even clicking onto your profile i just love the aesthetic between your forum vista and your dragon as your avatar. it is so beautifully done and i approve. i also love how it is an hourglass which matches your 'broadcast message' :') i like how your clan information goes straight into your lore; not many do that now there are loads of images or texts first.


reading the brief bit of your lore, i just had to dive into the link you provided for the whole thing. you have put in a hell of a lot of effort into this. is the current slayer called buffy because of, y'know, buffy the vampire slayer? creative; i like it. the actual backstory to how the clan was formed is quite.. heroic and fascinating. i don't think i have ever read a lore that goes this in-depth but i do not regret reading it.


honestly, you don't even need to apologise for the messiness because i came back from a hiatus to the lair update and it is... confusing. i like hearing the background behind your username! and all the information about you, it definitely makes you approachable and friendly.


Willow

i normally do dragons facing the text, as you will see below, however, i started writing my review on willow before the maintenance. the picture above is a remembrance of the old layout; here's to the new one! willow was the first dragon that caught my eye and it is mainly because i have to do a noodle review when i see the opportunity. he is one of the most gorgeous male spirals i have ever seen on this site! he definitely tops mine. his natural colours and genes are really pretty; you got lucky getting one like that! you found an accent that works amazingly well; i never would have thought of combining it with those colours but you have made it work and i applaud you. the accent also gives me major mage vibes lol. especially with the dusty sage lantern, it really gives him some character! the blooming woodbasket also really gives him a unique appearance, making him appear somewhat friendly (i think nature just has that effect). aha! i was right, a mage. love it. anyways, she definitely does look powerful (maybe it is the accent). and oh my days i feel terrible for using the wrong pronouns; forgive me. it's always so interesting when someone incorporates transitions and genders into their writing, many are quick to say their dragon is transgender but doesn't write about it in the lore. i salute you for this. it's so sweet to know she has a happy ending! i really like the way you set this dragon up and how you portrayed her back story, it only furthers my excitement on exploring the rest of your lore.


Eris

the first dragon i am reviewing with the new update! how exciting! i tell you what, it is so much easier clicking the morphology button directly now lol. what a beautiful ridgeback! ridgebacks honestly scare me, why do they look so aggressive. their faces just look so evil and displeased all the time :( all her genes are beautiful though; i love the circuit! i'm not usually a fan of the circuit gene, however, it does always seem to suit the ridgeback breed. maybe because it is quite 'out there' just like the breed lol. honestly, the eery cyran grasp makes the ridgeback breed even more spooky, and really makes eris look more mysterious than she actually is (alongside her spirit of shadow familiar). i rarely actually see dragons with the deep sea bulb's, so i was pleasantly surprised to see you have! it suits eris really well. she is not heavily dressed up, which is nice to see, because a dragon doesn't always need to be drowning in apparel. the pendant also adds the most delicate touch, which i think is my favourite piece of apparel on her, because it offers such a nice contrast amongst the purple. ahh, an april fools day baby! how adorable. a computer virus; i understand the circuit gene now lol. it is beautiful! i really like the idea of her cult, and the idea of her as a dragon. you did a good job!


Lup

ahhh a pretty coatl boy, i had to review him. he is actually gorgeous without apparel. in fact, he kind of reminds me like lava; definitely volcanic vibes. i absolutely adore the phoenix as a familiar and how it changes. i have a phoenix on one of my more orange dragons and it is just so cute <3 the little red riding hood apparel really makes him a mysterious character, but yet he seems so trustworthy? i don't know how to approach his appearance lol. the skin obviously reinforces the entire 'volcanic' vibe i get and the use of carapace arm really compliments the colours. it dulls down the intensity of how orange and flamey it is, the 'worn-out look' of the apparel makes him look very old and wise, a dragon that others could definitely go to for advice (though it may not always be the best). and oh my god i have misused pronouns, maybe i should start reading bios first? i'm so so sorry. she is very magnificent, and i just want to say again how amazing it is you incorporate it into your written lore. not many people actually do. and her spooky mood is brilliant beings as she is a friday the 13th, month of halloween baby. i love it :')


Etta

you have no idea how happy it made me to see a water-based fae! they honestly look like sea creatures to me and honestly little fae's melt my heart because they are so so small. she's only 2 foot 8 oh my goodness my whole heart has gone. her natural colour and genes are so so pretty, especially hex (it would be so pretty as constellation i found out lol). you put no skin or accent on her which honestly i love because a dragon does not always need it and it further emphasises her naturalness. the water tome definitely makes her wise (although i have said that for pretty much every dragon so i am sorry). the sweater is so cute and matches the eyes so wonderfully. i love how the spirit jug jug is hidden behind the water tome, so it looks like the spirit of water is coming from the book. that is so brilliant. and the familiar! you have done such a magnificent job matching the familiar with her appearance, bravo. i'm sad to see there is not a long bio of her to introduce us to her personality via a story, however the headcanon's of her sum her up nicely. again, you are doing so amazing incorporating the LGTBQ+ and mental health into your dragons, it is something i do not see very often when reviewing lairs. and i love how she is into ghost stories :') ghost stories go underappreciated too much. i love her though, beautiful dragon! 12/10.


i am honestly in love with your lore, and all your dragons. i think eris or etta are my favourite out of the ones i have reviewed, although, it was definitely difficult to choose just four. your lair is so gorgeous and you have a way with dress ups! again, i said it three times and i am saying it now, i respect you a lot for bringing in LGTBQ+ and mental health into your writing and dragons. it is beautiful to see and amazing to see awareness being brought into the game.
