An important update:

Due to a specific person being a complete child, comments are going to be screened by default.

This is only temporary, and I apologize for the inconvenience- this is going to be a pain in the ass for me, too, but multiple people have come forward about fears of doxxing, and this is the only way to make sure any doxxing is contained.

(This basically will force the doxxer to make a DW account to post any doxxing attempts unscreened, and will let me more reliably report them to DW staff/authorities.)

Again, I apologize, and will be working to unscreen comments as fast as possible, but I'm only one person.

(Vasemod has had some personal issues come up, so I am the only mod atm. Please bear with me until this bit of annoyance has passed.)

Most of the ancient breeds don't really register for my brain as 'this is something strange/primitive/other compared with the rest of FR's dragon breeds'. They're nice enough, but if any of them had been released as full-fledged moderns, I wouldn't have blinked. (Yes, extra heads, fewer limbs, whatever, I'm talking about style, not shape.)

Except Undertides. They're really the only ones whose art feels like it fits the general ancient concept, to me. The adult poses at least.

Not to steal the Auraboa thunder, they're also in the nice-enough group, I just happened to finish a long breeding project last week and now I can start breeding towards my dream Undertide scry and I'm excited.

they literally don't have legs, something a modern breed can't do. way back when ancients were announced they made it pretty clear that was what ancients were going to be about, making dragons that don't quite fit into the modern breed standard because they don't wear apparel. I genuinely don't know where the idea the dragon breed in the dragon game should have new breeds that are "primitive" (yes they were created before moderns but that's no reason to think they would be more primitive since the same deities designed them lore wise) or "other" (people would not like it if they didn't look enough like dragons in their eyes and there's only so much othering you can do to a dragon while keeping it mainstream, and fr is a company that needs to make money and new dragons breeds must make them money why else would they want to increase production of them. having a niche breed only a select few like would be counter to that)

" I'm talking about style, not shape"

What does this mean?
