The Radiant Court
Prior to the abdication of Matriarch Castanea from leadership of the clan, her rule ultimately served as law for the Verdant Eyrie. This system worked well, for the most part, though Castanea’s largely conservative decision-making meant that things worked much the same for years in the clan. When she passed her authority to Vastrana, however, things changed. The Spiral dragon wanted absolutely nothing to do with the authoritarian style that her predecessor had maintained. Instead, she proposed a council of leadership, one made up of representatives from each elemental flight. One problem immediately presented itself, however – the clan had no Earth flight representation. Finding a dragon to fill that position has been Vastrana’s focus since then.
Each member of the Radiant Court has been with the clan almost since the beginning, and while they know each other well, they still butt heads on certain issues. Nevertheless, they all agree on one thing: the needs of the clan outweigh those of themselves. While they try to convey the importance of that sentiment to the rest of the clan members, they don’t force their will on their wards. Some of the Radiant Court have taken apprentices, to ensure their priorities carry on past their own Exaltations and that their seat will not remain unoccupied. Others have created special interest groups within Gleamhaven’s ranks, largely centered around interests and talents that the clan possesses.

So I know people are gonna be complaining about no zombie hatchling skins and I’m pretty disappointed about that too, but, can we all agree that the most important thing to push back on is the censorship of scars. The thing that isn’t just disappointing and annoying, but actually ableist and that people with more obvious scarring (e.g. burn survivors) have been talking about how other media censoring them or treating them like they’re frightening or “adult content” affects them for a while now. The fact that something reflecting an uncontrollable aspect of how real-life people, including children, appear is being put under the category of “content we don’t want displayed or communicated via our hatchlings.” The fact that healed scars are being put in the same “content” category as ACTIVE WOUNDS.

I've been hoping Flight Rising would add button eyes ever since the stitched/patchwork genes came out. I was really excited to see them for April Fools, although unfortunately I feel like the execution leaves a lot to be desired on most breeds... they look weirdly flat, and in many cases bigger than I think they really need to be. I decided to try my hand at redesigning them.
Unfortunately I think I just ended up making myself more wistful for what Could Have Been... ah well ^^;;

None of the user-made color guides on site were exactly what I wanted, so now I'm going mad with power
