Video description under the cut

[VIDEO DESCRIPTION] An open ocean scene on a beautiful blue sky day with land in the far distance. The perspective and animation are as if you’re comfortably floating in the ocean. You are surrounded by the sounds of waves when a large splash is heard offscreen. The scene fades to reveal the Flight Rising logo. A golden glittery special effect appears to reveal more text that reads Saturday June 8, 2024.

hello! i have 114 g1s available! about 40 or so are listed at 25g/kt, a comparable amount at 50g/kt, so most aren’t pricy, & i need to get some of these guys outta here before they eat me out of house & home. send a CR with 25g/kt per dragon you want & tell me which ones and they’re as good as yours! there are ~80 more in my fodder tab in my HD but i’m more focused on moving these atm. boosts are super appreciated, ty for taking a look!

when i tell you RNGesus was kind to me this year!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! six doubles, four or five one-off misses, two shadow primals, a multigaze, four or five faceted eyes, and a slew of matchy XYZs… totally worth the fact that i will be swimming in fodder until the site shuts down :)))))

(pistachio/pistachio/fern, wine/honey/honey,

i think for april fools day flight rising should channel the energy of old virtual pet sites. i think it would be funny. i have made a logo to illustrate this idea

[thejollyshalebuck]

Funniest possible outcome for these teasers would be the comet starts heading towards the dragons a la chicxulub and the final teaser is just everyone getting vaporised and then staff just delete all our dragons and then they change the name to mammals rising and everyone gets to play with some prehistoric rodents and other critters. Everyone is rightfully pissed about their dragons for like 2 weeks until april 1st where staff just post jk and revert the site back to normal. Its never mentioned again

they are best friends (based off of this)

posting on main since i don't care but my mutuals and followers who don't know shit about flight rising might be very confused 💀💀💀

anyways with the new flight rising lore update/revamp, i am very happy and excited about it! but i've seen a lot of complaints from others going like "but my lore!" because their personal lore for their dragon clan goes full in on the colonisation of the beastclans lands/massacring of the beastclans and just overall being dicks on purpose (which was the original canon lore for beastclans and their relationship with dragons).

like i get that the canon has changed making your lair's lore no longer canon compliant, but you have to understand that pretty much every indigenous person who played this game and cared about giving their dragons lore (ME) had to ignore canon. a lot of us ignored canon because playing on the side of colonisers (dragons) was severely uncomfortable given...you know...real life colonisation destroying our cultures, families, languages etc.

the fact that the devs decided "hey actually the playerbase has a point about all of this fucked up colonialism shit in our lore lets fix our mistakes" is like. a fucking win for all of us indigenous people around the world who play this game. we no longer have to pretend the beastclans lore doesn't exist or ignore it because it reminded us too much of the real life things that happened to our own communities. we can play the game and give lore to our own dragon's without having to ignore the canon lore for our own comfort if we decide we want our dragons to interact with the beastclans in positive ways.

if it bothers and annoys you so much to have your own clan's lore not being canon compliant...now you know how it felt for so many indigenous people for most of the decade who played this game. except we had a very good real life reason to be bothered and annoyed by it.

In October of 2014 Flight Rising released 'Beastclans on the Rise!' Since then much has changed—us as developers, you as a community, & our overall education about how the world around us directly and indirectly influences and impacts our work.

And it’s time to address it.
