I was about to ask why you're linking a dead account but yikes, they are still active, their lair is just starving, probably as a (failed) deterrent to keep people from commenting on their awful dragon.

They drew attention to the dragon in the forums. On purpose.

Honey, Jack the Ripper is not even in the same BOOK as that cop, reach any further and you'll be smacking yourself in the face.

Love their shitty attempt to deflect criticism directly followed by the romanticization of an irl racist murderer. jfc

Why is "th" appended to the name of its offspring as well as its mate ("Murdererth")? I'm so confused.

Why would she even think it was a good idea to have this fandragon?

Re: Deladria#242017

it’s probably a pern reference, since dragon names in pern always end with -th, but uh. “murdererth” sounds bad to the ears, even divorced from its horrific context.

It's the Pernese dragon naming scheme. All end in -th.

Also, the bio used the term weyr, which is a big giveaway too.

No clue on why. This is nuts.

Is that series good?

The first few books were so shitty that I never read further, but it's considered a huge staple of dragon fiction.

da

I never read them but from pure internet osmosis I gathered that they were kinda so-so, but part of the distinction it had from other similar series was that it acknowledged gay sex as something that even existed (in a problematic way?).

na

I love them, and it was via a fandom writing group that I learned about FR in the first place, so mileage varies!

Yes - as anon above me noted, the author had some very problematic views, which are apparent both in interviews and some of the characterization/narratives in DRoP and her other series. But otherwise her worldbuilding has always appealed to me.

IMO, best reading order is:
Dragonflight
Dragonquest
The White Dragon
Dragonsdawn
All the Weyrs of Pern

There are lots of other books that focus on different parts of the timeline or side characters, but you're not going to be lost in the story if you jump around a bit on those after reading the main ones.

I reported both the dragon and the player. They're clearly a bootlicker.

Kind of concerning that 16 people have given a like to that dragon. What the hell y'all.

Idiot edgelords that know they can't be traced to the like is my guess.

they shared it multiple times in threads for trading likes, so i'm sure some are from people who didn't looking too closely, or didn't recognize the name.

It's fully intentional, they know what they're doing and will just deny it till the cows come home.

I'm honestly shoskced she isn't locked yet, and meanwhile, just saw that someone commenting negatively on her page was locked: https://flightrising.com/main.php?p=view&id=480568&tab=userpage

Deladria's page: https://flightrising.com/main.php?p=lair&tab=userpage&id=242017

What the fuck, staff? I mean, I'm assuming the other person got banned for "harassing" Deladria, unless they committed some other infraction in the past couple of days. But having a dragon devoted to racism and cop brutality is fine as long as she renames it?
