[center]Hello, and welcome to "A joke gone too far" also known as my G1 collection. I have spent literal years buying, gening and dressing them all up, even buying art and accents for some of them, and now I want to shamelessly show them all off. "But Denryu, what's so odd about your G1's, everyone has them!" Hahah, well...
[url=https://www1.flightrising.com/den/86125/1691136?name=&type=undefined]All of mine have either Buttercup Tapir or Striation. [i]Especially[/i] Striation.[/url]
I wish I could offer you a good explanation on why I have done nothing but bought a hilarious amount of G1 dragons with Buttercup for literal years now. Especially when most of them would've probably looked so much better with literally any other gene besides Tapir or Striation. Except that I love them and don't care about your G1 beauty standards.
I recently celebrated reaching a whopping [b]50 Buttercups[/b] and got quite a lot of attention in my post! Which gave me an idea of making a thread for tracking my journey to reach...
[i][b]100 fully gened, fully dressed G1 dragons with Buttercup Tapir and/or Striation[/b][/i].
This thread will serve as a place to show off all my Buttercups while I'm working on towards collecting and finishing new ones. I have a pinglist in case someone actually wants to follow this insane journey, where I'll ping you for every new finished Buttercup. But mostly, I just like to show off my Buttercups~!
[b]Q: Why would you ever want to do this?[/b]
A: Because I really, [i]really[/i] like Buttercup Striation and Tapir. And I'm over halfway there anyway so...
[b]Q: How long do you think it will take?[/b]
A: Took me about three years to finish the first 50, and I'm quite picky with the new ones since I do like to get ones that aren't too similar to the ones I already have. So we'll probably be here for a while :D
[b]Q: What are you gonna do when you actually reach 100 Buttercups?[/b]
A: Either get myself a G1 Imperial with Buttercup or a G1 Triple Buttercup. Let's be honest, at that point there will be literally nothing else for me to do.

[i][u]Phthalo Wasp – Buttercup Striation – Sunset Capsule[/u][/i]
Ah, Xion, it's only right we start out with you. This all started with her after all. I was looking through G1 auctions in hopes of finding something that catches my eye. She herself looked pretty average, but the scry her previous owner had made her... Oh boy. The most beautiful dragon I had ever seen, hands down. I bought her, gened her and she's been my pride and joy ever since. Do you feel good about yourself, Xion? You're the cause of all this.[/columns]

[i]Ridgeback Male[/i]
[i][u]Cream Skink – Buttercup Striation – Radioactive Glimmer[/u][/i]
Ramune my man, he followed pretty quickly after Xion. Buttercup Striation was [i]such[/i] a good gene that I needed another. Just, just one more... Anyway, Ramune here sports what I like to call the tert-saving glimmer. Ridgeback ridges are colored with glimmer, which easily balances out clashing terts like, say, radioactive on a pastel dragon.[nextcol][url=http://flightrising.com/main.php?dragon=35145774][img]http://flightrising.com/rendern/avatars/351458/35145774.png[/img][/url][/columns]

[i][u]Cream Skink – Buttercup Striation – Sky Glimmer[/u][/i]
Oh, you thought I'd do these in some kind of order? Vanilla came into my lair long after Ramune, when my addiction was already well established. I just wanted to show off my matching Ridgeback bros. I normally try to avoid picking the same exact colors so the tab has at least [i]some[/i] variety, but I had a blue version of Ramune's accent just waiting for the perfect dragon to come by. Vanilla is probably the cutest one in the collection, in my opinion anyway.[/columns]

[i][u]Buttercup Tapir – Mulberry Spinner – Lemon Capsule[/u][/i]
Naranja was among the first few Buttercups to join the lair, and the very first with Buttercup Tapir! I saw her in a mass hatch thread a long time ago, the hatcher didn't care for her colors but I just stared at her like... You think Buttercup Tapir does the same thing Striation does? Turns out it does, so Naranja came home with me. She's the reason I like Snappers a lot more nowadays.[nextcol][url=http://flightrising.com/main.php?dragon=39940289][img]http://flightrising.com/rendern/avatars/399403/39940289.png[/img][/url][/columns]

Saranyu came to me fully gened. Long story short, I was planning to do a mass hatch for my birthday. I had amassed quite a few gems, I was very excited! Then I spotted Saranyu in the AH and quickly decided that there was no way I could hatch anything half as pretty as her. Bye mass hatch, hello gorgeous Buttercup! [/columns]

Melia has been here for a while. I'm not sure where she came from, I'm not sure why I have her, all I know is that I love and cherish her. Can I just say what a lovely gene Skink is? I have so many dragons with skink because it adds just the perfect amount of accent color to make a dragon look amazing. Also, I don't do much lore, but I definitely see her as the emo goth gf to Snapdragon, who you'll be meeting later in the thread.[nextcol][url=http://flightrising.com/main.php?dragon=38386958][img]http://flightrising.com/rendern/avatars/383870/38386958.png[/img][/url][/columns]

I try my best not to pick favourites, but ever since I bought Hollyhock this accent I've been cooing over her nonstop. And she's been wearing it for a long time hahah. Hollyhock was the point where I realized that dang, if I can make [i]her[/i] colors work with Buttercup, I can make [i]any[/i] colors work with Buttercup. That was where I legit started wondering if I could just fill a part of my lair with nothing but Buttercups of various colors and genes...[/columns]

Anyone remember Zetore hatches? Pitaya is from one of them! Fought nail and tooth in the auction for her, but she was absolutely worth it. This girl is just beauty and grace. One thing I appreciate my Buttercup addiction for is that it enables me to buy only the brightest, most colorful accents available. I like rainbow colors on my fantasy dragons, don't judge me.[nextcol][url=http://flightrising.com/main.php?dragon=49955019][img]http://flightrising.com/rendern/avatars/499551/49955019.png[/img][/url][/columns]

Guardians are so underappreciated. I should know, Blueberry is the only one in my collection, and I actually like Guardians. Blueberry is also from a Zetore hatch, he's actually from one I couldn't attend myself! But I left a message on the thread offering to buy any Buttercups sniped... And was pleased to get quite a few people offering to sell their catches to me! In the end, I only took in Blueberry, but I was touched by how many people were willing to enable my addiction.[/columns]

Sundrop is another case where I'm not even sure when he manifested himself in my lair, but hot dang look at him with that accent! I have a hard rule when buying accents that it can't cover the Buttercup part of the dragon... So it's good he's one of the few dragons in there with Tapir instead of Striation! He looks great, I love his Capsule (which, by the way, you're going to see a lot in this thread), and it seems like people agree since he's the second most liked dragon in the collection![nextcol][url=http://flightrising.com/main.php?dragon=53190820][img]http://flightrising.com/rendern/avatars/531909/53190820.png[/img][/url][/columns]

[i][u]Grape Shaggy – Buttercup Striation – Cream Underbelly[/u][/i]
I bought Foxglove on a whim a few months before Gaolers happened. Didn't know what I was going to do with him, all I knew was that he had very good colors to go with Buttercup. Then Gaolers dropped and [i]have you seen what Buttercup Striation does with their mane??[/i] This is just one of the reasons why I like this color/gene so much. I like my dragons drowning in apparel, so I usually try to find fitting accents for my Gaolers. Can't let them walk around naked.[/columns]

So, back when I thought I could stop this madness, I decided to splurge on Amaranth so I'd have that inevitable Buttercup Tapir/Striation G1 Wildclaw and could finally stop buying Buttercups. [i]You can see how that went[/i]. He has been quite difficult to dress up, but his current look is pretty decent in my eyes. I love him so much but you'd never believe how hard it is to dress a double G1.[nextcol][url=http://flightrising.com/main.php?dragon=48453641][img]http://flightrising.com/rendern/avatars/484537/48453641.png[/img][/url][/columns]

Speaking of which, here's the second double Buttercup G1 Wildclaw I splurged on in hopes of having an excuse to stop buying these things. I wanted a matchy couple of doubles, and that's exactly what I got. Hibiscus is also awful to try and dress, but I'll keep trying in hopes of one day finding that perfect outfit. I just really want to use the Buttercup Lace sets in her and Amaranth's outfits... Anyone want to guess why?[/columns]

You know how some people buy dragons for comfort? I absolutely buy Buttercups whenever I'm feeling awful. Don't worry, it's not the only reason why I have so many of them though. I bought Oreo on a hot summer day, after an exhausting day at work. It was [i]hot[/i] outside, it was [i]hot[/i] inside, and the bus I rode home [i]did not have air conditioning[/i]. I stumbled home, almost passed out, but managed to drink a lot of water and drowned myself in a cold shower. Felt exhausted for the rest of the day, and bought Oreo to get at least some serotonin in my brains.[nextcol][url=http://flightrising.com/main.php?dragon=52467518][img]http://flightrising.com/rendern/avatars/524676/52467518.png[/img][/url][/columns]

Either way, I hope everyone has seen what the color Peach can do on some genes! It's a wonderful color, I hope someone somewhere has a Peach G1 collection coming. I also have to point out Momiji's accent, it's very subtle but it's beautiful! Also yes I love Fruits Basket.[/columns]

I [i]love[/i] NotN. I think it's the best event FR has ever and will ever have, and I hope it's kept forever. Nothing more fun than hatching hundreds of eggs, and scouring AH for cheap G1's! Vichy is a dragon I found in the AH for cheap after NotN had ended, and had to do a double take because 1. I adore Cyan and 2. she had Buttercup secondary. Also, she was supposed to have Glimmer originally, but then Peacock was released and I'm so glad I hadn't splurged on the glimmer scroll yet.[nextcol][url=http://flightrising.com/main.php?dragon=48214465][img]http://flightrising.com/rendern/avatars/482145/48214465.png[/img][/url][/columns]

Remember when Banescales were released? I instantly saw it as another chance to grab cheap G1 Buttercups from the AH hahah. Merlot came to me as a Banescale, but unfortunately they couldn't do Striation back then, so I went with Ridgeback to retain some of the spikiness. I hope everyone reading is aware of Grapefruit Glimmer, because it's absolutely my favourite Glimmer. I really like Ridgebacks by the way if that wasn't obvious yet! They're fun to dress up, they're so regal.[/columns]

I have a small garden on my balcony. So when Blossom came out I. Went. Crazy. I've completely stopped gathering anything else besides the Mums. And I splurged on this tiny double Buttercup girl just to give her Blossom. I hate permababies, you can't dress them or give them accents.

I'm still trying very, very hard not to pick favourites, but if I did then Calluna would absolutely make the top three [i]at least[/i]. This dragon is so dumb I love it. So I had wanted a Buttercup with Mist primary for a [i]long[/i] time. Then I got Calluna, and for an even longer time [i]I had no idea what to do with him[/i]. That is, until Wavecrest 2020 came around and blessed me with the greatest festival accent ever created. KuroXer, if you ever read this, I owe you my entire life.

Salvia holds the record for most redresses in my lair, but I really like how she currently looks! To be honest, I initially kinda regretted impulse buying her. I really wanted a Twilight primary, because Twilight is a great color when done right, but her tert didn't really work with it. In the end I decided to tone it down a bit. A random coli accent coupled with the tea set gave her some much-needed character. She looks like someone who knows literally everything there is to know about tea.[/columns]

You know how some people buy beautiful UMAs and then go "oh, I need to buy a fitting dragon for this accent"? Well... I do the same, except I immediately go find a fitting Buttercup. Got this accent, picked up Hellebore from the AH and immediately smashed the two together to make a very handsome Gaoler boy. I love how the accent interacts with his primary, but doesn't do anything to the bright Buttercup mane, save for some sparkles. Hellebore has a very distinct look for a dragon that can't wear apparel.[nextcol][url=http://flightrising.com/main.php?dragon=49205669][img]http://flightrising.com/rendern/avatars/492057/49205669.png[/img][/url][/columns]

Cienne is another dragon that has been here for a while, yet I can't actually recall when and where I picked him up. As far as I know, he has been here since forever. I do however know I picked him up specifically because I wanted a Buttercup with Platinum primary. I notice how few people use Ripple nowadays, but I would like everyone to know it's a gene that can work [i]wonders[/i]. Cienne himself seems like a very innocent and nice dragon to me, he probably uses that sword just to cut out weeds from the garden.[/columns]

Hey, remember when I said I would buy fun accents and then go find fitting Buttercups to wear them? After the AH update (yes, I have been here for a while) I saved myself a search for just G1 Buttercups. And I would stalk that search often enough to remember most of the dragons I saw there. So... When I bought this particular accent, I already knew which Buttercup I needed to buy to wear it. Sushi looks great, I like Snappers but not quite enough to just have one in my lair without a super fun-looking accent.[nextcol][url=http://flightrising.com/main.php?dragon=57424642][img]http://flightrising.com/rendern/avatars/574247/57424642.png[/img][/url][/columns]

On top of being one of those weirdos that like Ridgeback dudes, I'm also a weirdo that actually likes Slime as a gene. It's a fun-looking gene that gives nice accent colors, what more do you want? Radioactive slime specifically gives Ridgeback ridges such fun shades of cyan and mint I couldn't resist using it. I also couldn't resist buying [i]so many[/i] Sunrise Unicorn manes when they came out. Trick is probably the most eyeburner dragon in the bunch, which is saying a lot as this entire collection burns my eyes every day.[nextcol][url=http://flightrising.com/main.php?dragon=56435129][img]http://flightrising.com/rendern/avatars/564352/56435129.png[/img][/url][/columns]

[i]Tundra Female[/i]
[i][u]Mauve Poison – Buttercup Striation – White Underbelly[/u][/i]
You can probably tell I bought Trick and Treat pretty close to each other. Real talk though, female Tundras are criminally underappreciated. They look so happy, they're fun to dress, their fur looks so good with more colorful genes!! Also Mauve Poison is probably one of my top three favourite colors of Poison. You want a good eyeburner, get yourself some Mauve Poison. Treat has a very royal look to her, I like to think she and Trick are in a very complicated relationship because getting slime on your fur is awful.[/columns]
[columns][size=4][i][b]Sundae[/b][/i][/size][emoji=arcane rune size=1]
[i]Coatl Male[/i]
[i][u]Maize Fade – Buttercup Striation – Banana Peacock[/u][/i]
I would like to take this moment to thank the Fade gene for saving me from buying a ridiculous amount of Iridescents for these dragons. I just really like the clear look of Iridescent, but having a cute treasure alternative works for me too. I bought Sundae because I wanted one with Maize primary, but in the end I got way more excited about his tert, because Banana Peacock is so beautiful! Peacock and Striation is a really nice combo overall in my opinion, I recommend trying it with some difficult gene projects![nextcol][url=http://flightrising.com/main.php?dragon=54413938][img]http://flightrising.com/rendern/avatars/544140/54413938.png[/img][/url][/columns]

[i][u]Mist Iridescent – Buttercup Striation – Blush Stained[/u][/i]
Finally, we get to the most liked dragon of the bunch. And for a good reason, I still try not to pick favourites, but [i]who am I trying to fool it's Uni all the way[/i]. I like Primal eyes, but my absolute favourite is Shadow Primal. He came to me with a rather [i]interesting[/i] colour combination, but I was so excited to finally have a Shadow Primal I didn't care about having to scatter him. I wrote into his bio that I wanted him to become my ultimate dream dragon, started scattering and... Well. He did exactly that.[/columns]
[columns][size=4][i][b]Lily[/b][/i][/size][emoji=wind rune size=1]
[i]Spiral Female[/i]
[i][u]Peridot Skink – Buttercup Striation – Stonewash Capsule[/u][/i]
Have I mentioned how much I love picking up every single cheap G1 Buttercup listed in the AH during the NotN frenzy? Lily was just [i]too good[/i] to be near fodder priced. Look at her eyes! They fit her so well, she's like a little noodle frog. Here's also a case where Skink saves the day with it's accent colors, couldn't make that Stonewash work without it.[nextcol][url=http://flightrising.com/main.php?dragon=58103058][img]http://flightrising.com/rendern/avatars/581031/58103058.png[/img][/url][/columns]

[i][u]Chartreuse Ripple – Buttercup Striation – Metals Underbelly[/u][/i]
You know, Marjo[i]ram[/i], because of the ram horns? I'm so clever. Remember when I said that Ripple can work wonders? Here's one of those wonders. He was in the AH for cheap, I scried him on a whim, accidentally pressed Ripple... And suddenly I had bought him and was dressing him up so fast. Never would've believed it myself, but Chartreuse and Metals [i]match[/i]. He's obviously a Bard, playing his lute under a pomegranate tree all day.[/columns]
[columns][size=4][i][b]Samael[/b][/i][/size][emoji=fire rune size=1]
[i]Skydancer Male[/i]
[i][u]Wine Fade– Buttercup Striation – Midnight Underbelly[/u][/i]
Again,[i] have I mentioned how much I love picking up every single cheap G1 Buttercup listed in the AH during the NotN frenzy[/i]? I actually hesitated for a bit with Samael because I already had a Wine primary (See: Merlot) but then I tried Fade and Underbelly and suddenly he was in my lair. Have you noticed how most of my Buttercups are Skydancers, by the way? It's because Buttercup Striation looks the [i]best[/i] on Skydancer wings.[nextcol][url=http://flightrising.com/main.php?dragon=58120270][img]http://flightrising.com/rendern/avatars/581203/58120270.png[/img][/url][/columns]

[i]Tundra Female[/i]
[i][u]Red Piebald – Buttercup Striation – Sanddollar Ringlets[/u][/i]
Ringlets is unironically one of my favourite genes, it's just really hard to make it work. Luckily female Tundras make everything work, even really weird color combinations like Holi's. She's another NotN find of mine, and surprisingly good looking with some choice apparel too! I actually couldn't believe that myself when first impulse buying her.[/columns]
[columns][size=4][i][b]Primrose[/b][/i][/size][emoji=lightning rune size=1]
[i]Spiral Female[/i]
[i][u]Pearl Fade – Buttercup Striation – Heather Thylacine[/u][/i]
I don't really like Thylacine as a gene. I despise the gradient on it, it'd be so good without. That said, Fade and Thylacine has never let me down! Don't know what it is about those two genes. Primrose is yet another NotN rescue, people tend to price their Buttercups so low they probably don't even know what Striation does. Primrose is absolutely a comfort dragon, she looks so happy I can't help but smile with her every time I see her. [nextcol][url=http://flightrising.com/main.php?dragon=58076923][img]http://flightrising.com/rendern/avatars/580770/58076923.png[/img][/url][/columns]

[i]Ridgeback Female[/i]
[i][u]Yellow Pinstripe – Buttercup Striation – Aqua Capsule[/u][/i]
I often find myself scrying G1 Buttercups that initially seem to have completely random colors, only to find one of the accent genes make it look like it was meant to be. I was also horrified to realize I didn't have a single Ridgeback female in my collection yet! Had to fix that immediately. Musa looks like a very serious music teacher. By the way, the new Tailcoats? Amazing, 10/10.[/columns]
[columns][size=4][i][b]Ruska[/b][/i][/size][emoji=water rune size=1]
[i]Skydancer Male[/i]
[i][u]Buttercup Tapir – Cantaloupe Blend – Coral Capsule[/u][/i]
So first off, the corn snake? That's a piece of apparel that works on every dragon, without fail, love it. Second, court apparel? So good, especially the overcoats, I will never get tired of them. Third, Blend is a gene that is also amazing on dragon manes, the simple gradient can look so powerful on certain colors. Like Cantaloupe! I hope to find Ruska a nice accent that covers just the right amount of the Blend.[nextcol][url=http://flightrising.com/main.php?dragon=61362437][img]http://flightrising.com/rendern/avatars/613625/61362437.png[/img][/url][/columns]

[i][u]Blackberry Ripple – Buttercup Striation – Cantaloupe Ghost[/u][/i]
This collection has way fewer Mirrors than I'm comfortable with, honestly. I love the murder puppies, though as a current puppy owner I gotta say that's basically just regular puppies. The teeth are sharp, and my hands thoroughly gnawed on. That said, Mirrors with Ghost! Can't get better than that honestly. Also, bright colored Ghost always makes me think of fireworks.[/columns]

[i]Fae Male[/i]
[i][u]Gold Tapir – Buttercup Striation – Cerise Capsule[/u][/i]
I hope someone somewhere is doing a G1 collection where all dragons have Gold Tapir/Striation because I did also consider that. Look at Sunflower's frills and tell me Faes aren't good looking, I dare you. There's something very royal about Fae males to me, I love dressing them up in jewelry. Also I was watching Into the Spiderverse for like the 100th time when naming him.[nextcol][url=http://flightrising.com/main.php?dragon=63104306][img]http://flightrising.com/rendern/avatars/631044/63104306.png[/img][/url][/columns]

I don't know why, but Cardinal gave off a creepy vibe the moment I brought him into my lair. So I gave him glowing eyes and turned him into a Gaoler, to really play with the creepiness! Feels like if he touches you your skin will start sprouting buttercups or something. I didn't even notice he was a double when I first bought him, I was like yay, Cerise primary and picked him up! He really needs an accent.[/columns]
[columns][size=4][i][b]Malus[/b][/i][/size][emoji=arcane rune size=1]
[i]Tundra Female[/i]
[i][u]Dust Skink – Buttercup Striation – Violet Capsule[/u][/i]
Remember when I mentioned that saved search I have for just stalking G1 Buttercups in the AH? It was a slow night shift at work, so I checked the search to pass the time... And someone had listed this pretty girl with Faceted eyes for cheap. I immediately remembered what Dust Skink does and smashed the buy button. What does Dust Skink do? It makes Tundras have a skull for a face! Perfect for spooky season and those creepy eyes of hers. The Violet Capsule matches amazingly as well, unfortunately the mane kinda covers it.[nextcol][url=http://flightrising.com/main.php?dragon=64245972][img]http://flightrising.com/rendern/avatars/642460/64245972.png[/img][/url][/columns]

Airhead was picked up during the same night shift I bought Malus. She was hanging in the AH already fully gened. I stuck her in the dressing room, played around a bit and decided that she can come with us as well. I have wanted to use the shifting kelpie mane on a Buttercup for the [i]longest[/i] time. Did I already mention how well my Buttercup addiction works with my addiction to buying only the most rainbow-coloured of UMAs? Airhead is just a mess of colours, I can't believe how good she looks to me.[/columns]

[i][u]Mint Lionfish – Buttercup Striation – Cantaloupe Glowtail[/u][/i]
Mint primary was one I was after for a long time, and ended up picking Sorbet up from a mass hatch auction at starting bid. To be honest, I'm not a big fan of Glowtail but it really fits Sorbet, makes her look tasty. I love her faceted eyes too, Sorbet looks like she's just made out of ice cream or something. A very fresh look honestly, I like it![nextcol][url=http://flightrising.com/main.php?dragon=57418973][img]http://flightrising.com/rendern/avatars/574190/57418973.png[/img][/url][/columns]

[i][u]Turquoise Fade – Buttercup Striation – Cherry Thylacine[/u][/i]
Did I mention Fade and Thylacine yet? Here's another example of that! Breeze is also a great example on why Buttercup Striation is the best on Skydancers. those wings wouldn't look nearly as good on any other breed, because only Skydancers get those sunset shades on their feathers. I'm also still fan of the unicorn manes, they look a little silly but they're great for some very specific looks. Breeze looks like a casanova, probably spends half a day perfecting his mane every day.[/columns]

[i]Did I mention Fade and Thylacine yet[/i]? Snapdragon was originally supposed to be a female tundra, but I was just one Pearlcatcher away from a full row so... Anyway, I really should use the mage sets more often. The hat looks so silly on most breeds, it's adorable. Snapdragon gets a near-perfect colour match with the Peony set, the decision was obvious regarding her outfit. Remember Melia from like 30 dragons ago by the way? Snapdragon is her bubbly happy mage gf.[nextcol][url=http://flightrising.com/main.php?dragon=55333713][img]http://flightrising.com/rendern/avatars/553338/55333713.png[/img][/url][/columns]

Tangerine primary is yet another I searched high and low for, it's definitely an underrated colour. Mimosa looks like a sunset to me, hence the lanterns and nebula silks for some early stars in the skies. A lot of the collection has nebula silks on them, but with a collection like this you cling onto every single purple-and-orange apparel piece you can find.[/columns]

I am surprised it took this long to get some Contour in my collection, I actually like that gene! It's simple, easy to use and goes well with Skink. What else do you need? Also, while it's true I made Dextrose a Spiral mainly because I didn't have a male one in the collection, it was also to show off his eyes better. Shadow Uncommon is really pretty to me! So cute and pastel purple, so fitting for Buttercup Striation.

A Buttercup with Ruby primary was a long time dream of mine, because look at that sweet Tapir! I hope someone does a G1 lair tab with nothing but Ruby Tapir/Striation because it's almost as good as Buttercup. I got Aster by asking nicely, sometimes it pays off to ask if people are willing to haggle on their dragons. I really love the new chitinous armor sets too! The breastplate gives a nice eastern dragon vibe, I adore it. I hope to use these pieces a lot on future dragons.[/columns]

Echeveria here has the dubious honor of being the 50th Buttercup to grace my lair with his presence! I wanted to get something really special for number 50... Then I spotted Echeveria just hanging in the AH with his perfect colors for halloween time. Well, I was missing an obsidian primary, so I guess that's special enough! The collection really doesn't have enough Ghost for my tastes, so I'm glad to have a proper skeleton haunting the place.[nextcol][url=http://flightrising.com/main.php?dragon=60810038][img]http://flightrising.com/rendern/avatars/608101/60810038.png[/img][/url][/columns]

Xion
Skydancer Female
Phthalo Wasp – Buttercup Striation – Sunset Capsule
Ah, Xion, it's only right we start out with you. This all started with her after all. I was looking through G1 auctions in hopes of finding something that catches my eye. She herself looked pretty average, but the scry her previous owner had made her... Oh boy. The most beautiful dragon I had ever seen, hands down. I bought her, gened her and she's been my pride and joy ever since. Do you feel good about yourself, Xion? You're the cause of all this.

Ramune
Ridgeback Male
Cream Skink – Buttercup Striation – Radioactive Glimmer
Ramune my man, he followed pretty quickly after Xion. Buttercup Striation was such a good gene that I needed another. Just, just one more... Anyway, Ramune here sports what I like to call the tert-saving glimmer. Ridgeback ridges are colored with glimmer, which easily balances out clashing terts like, say, radioactive on a pastel dragon.
|

Vanilla
Ridgeback Male
Cream Skink – Buttercup Striation – Sky Glimmer
Oh, you thought I'd do these in some kind of order? Vanilla came into my lair long after Ramune, when my addiction was already well established. I just wanted to show off my matching Ridgeback bros. I normally try to avoid picking the same exact colors so the tab has at least some variety, but I had a blue version of Ramune's accent just waiting for the perfect dragon to come by. Vanilla is probably the cutest one in the collection, in my opinion anyway.

Naranja
Snapper Female
Buttercup Tapir – Mulberry Spinner – Lemon Capsule
Naranja was among the first few Buttercups to join the lair, and the very first with Buttercup Tapir! I saw her in a mass hatch thread a long time ago, the hatcher didn't care for her colors but I just stared at her like... You think Buttercup Tapir does the same thing Striation does? Turns out it does, so Naranja came home with me. She's the reason I like Snappers a lot more nowadays.

Saranyu
Skydancer Female
Buttercup Tapir – Amethyst Bee – Pearl Glimmer
Saranyu came to me fully gened. Long story short, I was planning to do a mass hatch for my birthday. I had amassed quite a few gems, I was very excited! Then I spotted Saranyu in the AH and quickly decided that there was no way I could hatch anything half as pretty as her. Bye mass hatch, hello gorgeous Buttercup!

Melia
Pearlcatcher Female
Amethyst Skink – Buttercup Striation – Royal Capsule
Melia has been here for a while. I'm not sure where she came from, I'm not sure why I have her, all I know is that I love and cherish her. Can I just say what a lovely gene Skink is? I have so many dragons with skink because it adds just the perfect amount of accent color to make a dragon look amazing. Also, I don't do much lore, but I definitely see her as the emo goth gf to Snapdragon, who you'll be meeting later in the thread.

Hollyhock
Tundra Female
Black Skink – Buttercup Striation – Grey Capsule
I try my best not to pick favourites, but ever since I bought Hollyhock this accent I've been cooing over her nonstop. And she's been wearing it for a long time hahah. Hollyhock was the point where I realized that dang, if I can make her colors work with Buttercup, I can make any colors work with Buttercup. That was where I legit started wondering if I could just fill a part of my lair with nothing but Buttercups of various colors and genes...

Pitaya
Skydancer Female
Rose Iridescent – Buttercup Striation – Purple Runes
Anyone remember Zetore hatches? Pitaya is from one of them! Fought nail and tooth in the auction for her, but she was absolutely worth it. This girl is just beauty and grace. One thing I appreciate my Buttercup addiction for is that it enables me to buy only the brightest, most colorful accents available. I like rainbow colors on my fantasy dragons, don't judge me.

Blueberry
Guardian Male
Purple Lionfish – Buttercup Striation – Storm Capsule
Guardians are so underappreciated. I should know, Blueberry is the only one in my collection, and I actually like Guardians. Blueberry is also from a Zetore hatch, he's actually from one I couldn't attend myself! But I left a message on the thread offering to buy any Buttercups sniped... And was pleased to get quite a few people offering to sell their catches to me! In the end, I only took in Blueberry, but I was touched by how many people were willing to enable my addiction.

Sundrop
Skydancer Male
Buttercup Tapir – Heather Striation – Fog Capsule
Sundrop is another case where I'm not even sure when he manifested himself in my lair, but hot dang look at him with that accent! I have a hard rule when buying accents that it can't cover the Buttercup part of the dragon... So it's good he's one of the few dragons in there with Tapir instead of Striation! He looks great, I love his Capsule (which, by the way, you're going to see a lot in this thread), and it seems like people agree since he's the second most liked dragon in the collection!

Foxglove
Gaoler Male
Grape Shaggy – Buttercup Striation – Cream Underbelly
I bought Foxglove on a whim a few months before Gaolers happened. Didn't know what I was going to do with him, all I knew was that he had very good colors to go with Buttercup. Then Gaolers dropped and have you seen what Buttercup Striation does with their mane?? This is just one of the reasons why I like this color/gene so much. I like my dragons drowning in apparel, so I usually try to find fitting accents for my Gaolers. Can't let them walk around naked.

Amaranth
Wildclaw Male
Buttercup Tapir – Buttercup Striation – Mantis Glimmer
So, back when I thought I could stop this madness, I decided to splurge on Amaranth so I'd have that inevitable Buttercup Tapir/Striation G1 Wildclaw and could finally stop buying Buttercups. You can see how that went. He has been quite difficult to dress up, but his current look is pretty decent in my eyes. I love him so much but you'd never believe how hard it is to dress a double G1.

Hibiscus
Wildclaw Female
Buttercup Tapir – Buttercup Striation – Radioactive Glimmer
Speaking of which, here's the second double Buttercup G1 Wildclaw I splurged on in hopes of having an excuse to stop buying these things. I wanted a matchy couple of doubles, and that's exactly what I got. Hibiscus is also awful to try and dress, but I'll keep trying in hopes of one day finding that perfect outfit. I just really want to use the Buttercup Lace sets in her and Amaranth's outfits... Anyone want to guess why?

Oreo
Tundra Male
Clay Poison – Buttercup Striation – Spruce Capsule
You know how some people buy dragons for comfort? I absolutely buy Buttercups whenever I'm feeling awful. Don't worry, it's not the only reason why I have so many of them though. I bought Oreo on a hot summer day, after an exhausting day at work. It was hot outside, it was hot inside, and the bus I rode home did not have air conditioning. I stumbled home, almost passed out, but managed to drink a lot of water and drowned myself in a cold shower. Felt exhausted for the rest of the day, and bought Oreo to get at least some serotonin in my brains.

Momiji
Skydancer Male
Peach Pinstripe – Buttercup Striation – Purple Runes
Momiji is another one I spotted at an auction and just had to have. I often wonder if people think I'm trolling when I bid so high on some of these random XYZ G1s...? Either way, I hope everyone has seen what the color Peach can do on some genes! It's a wonderful color, I hope someone somewhere has a Peach G1 collection coming. I also have to point out Momiji's accent, it's very subtle but it's beautiful! Also yes I love Fruits Basket.

Vichy
Coatl Female
Cyan Poison – Buttercup Striation – Cyan Peacock
I love NotN. I think it's the best event FR has ever and will ever have, and I hope it's kept forever. Nothing more fun than hatching hundreds of eggs, and scouring AH for cheap G1's! Vichy is a dragon I found in the AH for cheap after NotN had ended, and had to do a double take because 1. I adore Cyan and 2. she had Buttercup secondary. Also, she was supposed to have Glimmer originally, but then Peacock was released and I'm so glad I hadn't splurged on the glimmer scroll yet.

Merlot
Ridgeback Male
Wine Skink – Buttercup Striation – Grapefruit Glimmer
Remember when Banescales were released? I instantly saw it as another chance to grab cheap G1 Buttercups from the AH hahah. Merlot came to me as a Banescale, but unfortunately they couldn't do Striation back then, so I went with Ridgeback to retain some of the spikiness. I hope everyone reading is aware of Grapefruit Glimmer, because it's absolutely my favourite Glimmer. I really like Ridgebacks by the way if that wasn't obvious yet! They're fun to dress up, they're so regal.

Hanahaki
Gaoler Female
Cobalt Mosaic – Buttercup Striation – Buttercup Blossom
Please staff give me Blossom for all breeds please I beg you In case the massive amounts of flowerfalls on these dragons hasn't tipped you off yet, I love flowers. Adore them. I have a small garden on my balcony. So when Blossom came out I. Went. Crazy. I've completely stopped gathering anything else besides the Mums. And I splurged on this tiny double Buttercup girl just to give her Blossom. I hate permababies, you can't dress them or give them accents. But Gaolers with Blossom are the exception.

Rosebay
Gaoler Male
Fog Phantom – Buttercup Striation – Tangerine Blossom
Here's the other Gaoler baby with Blossom I splurged on after Blossom came out. I bought Rosebay because Tangerine Blossom is my favourite. He's such a good tiny boy, I want to pet him and tell him he's a good tiny boy. Also, Phantom Gaolers with Dark Sclera? *chefs kiss* I love it. He's a very spooky good boy. I had a hard time deciding wheter to permababy or not, but I think the good boy eyes and big flowers are worth it.

Calluna
Bogsneak Male
Mist Slime – Buttercup Striation – Platinum Capsule
I'm still trying very, very hard not to pick favourites, but if I did then Calluna would absolutely make the top three at least. This dragon is so dumb I love it. So I had wanted a Buttercup with Mist primary for a long time. Then I got Calluna, and for an even longer time I had no idea what to do with him. That is, until Wavecrest 2020 came around and blessed me with the greatest festival accent ever created. KuroXer, if you ever read this, I owe you my entire life. Soon I had my silly slimy anime boy gened up, with Innocent eyes to top it off.

Salvia
Skydancer Female
Twilight Pinstripe – Buttercup Striation – Bubblegum Capsule
Salvia holds the record for most redresses in my lair, but I really like how she currently looks! To be honest, I initially kinda regretted impulse buying her. I really wanted a Twilight primary, because Twilight is a great color when done right, but her tert didn't really work with it. In the end I decided to tone it down a bit. A random coli accent coupled with the tea set gave her some much-needed character. She looks like someone who knows literally everything there is to know about tea.
|
Hellebore
Gaoler Male
Phthalo Phantom – Buttercup Striation – Midnight Underbelly
You know how some people buy beautiful UMAs and then go "oh, I need to buy a fitting dragon for this accent"? Well... I do the same, except I immediately go find a fitting Buttercup. Got this accent, picked up Hellebore from the AH and immediately smashed the two together to make a very handsome Gaoler boy. I love how the accent interacts with his primary, but doesn't do anything to the bright Buttercup mane, save for some sparkles. Hellebore has a very distinct look for a dragon that can't wear apparel.
|
|
|
Cienne
Pearlcatcher Male
Platinum Ripple – Buttercup Striation – Cream Underbelly
Cienne is another dragon that has been here for a while, yet I can't actually recall when and where I picked him up. As far as I know, he has been here since forever. I do however know I picked him up specifically because I wanted a Buttercup with Platinum primary. I notice how few people use Ripple nowadays, but I would like everyone to know it's a gene that can work wonders. Cienne himself seems like a very innocent and nice dragon to me, he probably uses that sword just to cut out weeds from the garden.
|
Damson
Pearlcatcher Male
Buttercup Tapir – Plum Marbled – Sunset Capsule
More like Damn Son am I right?? Right? I swear I'm cool. Or at least Damson is. I always appreciate a gene that plays some tricks on a dragon's mane, so I was very pleasantly surprised by Marbled. Makes this boy look like a proper scene kid. I also just had to incorporate the Constantan Steampunk set into one of these outfits, it looks so nice with Buttercup.
|
|
|
Dandelion
Tundra Male
Dirt Skink – Buttercup Striation – Metals Underbelly
Get it? Dandelion?? No please don't leave I swear it gets better. Dandelion heavily breaks my rule of not using an accent to cover the Buttercup, but this one cuts out juuuust right to show off the hues Striation gives on his mane and tail that I find it acceptable. That, and I adore this accent I'm so glad I got it. Also huge shoutout to the samurai sets! Probably the best looking armor set on this site, don't ping me you know I'm right.
|
Sushi
Snapper Male
Pistachio Piebald – Buttercup Striation – Robin Capsule
Hey, remember when I said I would buy fun accents and then go find fitting Buttercups to wear them? After the AH update (yes, I have been here for a while) I saved myself a search for just G1 Buttercups. And I would stalk that search often enough to remember most of the dragons I saw there. So... When I bought this particular accent, I already knew which Buttercup I needed to buy to wear it. Sushi looks great, I like Snappers but not quite enough to just have one in my lair without a super fun-looking accent.
|
|
|
Mew
Fae Male
Blush Fade – Buttercup Striation – Aqua Capsule
I'm still trying extremely hard to not pick favourites, but Mew is flawless. He's another one I found cheap in the AH after NotN, was specifically hoping to find a Blush primary. Aqua Capsule looked perfect on him, and so did this one festival accent I had been hoping to use on a dragon one day. I named him Mew, because Fade has the colors of both a regular and a shiny Mew hahah.
|
Trick
Ridgeback Male
Radioactive Slime – Buttercup Striation – Bubblegum Runes
On top of being one of those weirdos that like Ridgeback dudes, I'm also a weirdo that actually likes Slime as a gene. It's a fun-looking gene that gives nice accent colors, what more do you want? Radioactive slime specifically gives Ridgeback ridges such fun shades of cyan and mint I couldn't resist using it. I also couldn't resist buying so many Sunrise Unicorn manes when they came out. Trick is probably the most eyeburner dragon in the bunch, which is saying a lot as this entire collection burns my eyes every day.
|
|
|
Treat
Tundra Female
Mauve Poison – Buttercup Striation – White Underbelly
You can probably tell I bought Trick and Treat pretty close to each other. Real talk though, female Tundras are criminally underappreciated. They look so happy, they're fun to dress, their fur looks so good with more colorful genes!! Also Mauve Poison is probably one of my top three favourite colors of Poison. You want a good eyeburner, get yourself some Mauve Poison. Treat has a very royal look to her, I like to think she and Trick are in a very complicated relationship because getting slime on your fur is awful.
|
Sundae
Coatl Male
Maize Fade – Buttercup Striation – Banana Peacock
I would like to take this moment to thank the Fade gene for saving me from buying a ridiculous amount of Iridescents for these dragons. I just really like the clear look of Iridescent, but having a cute treasure alternative works for me too. I bought Sundae because I wanted one with Maize primary, but in the end I got way more excited about his tert, because Banana Peacock is so beautiful! Peacock and Striation is a really nice combo overall in my opinion, I recommend trying it with some difficult gene projects!
|
|
|
Uni
Wildclaw Male
Mist Iridescent – Buttercup Striation – Blush Stained
Finally, we get to the most liked dragon of the bunch. And for a good reason, I still try not to pick favourites, but who am I trying to fool it's Uni all the way. I like Primal eyes, but my absolute favourite is Shadow Primal. He came to me with a rather interesting colour combination, but I was so excited to finally have a Shadow Primal I didn't care about having to scatter him. I wrote into his bio that I wanted him to become my ultimate dream dragon, started scattering and... Well. He did exactly that.
|
Lily
Spiral Female
Peridot Skink – Buttercup Striation – Stonewash Capsule
Have I mentioned how much I love picking up every single cheap G1 Buttercup listed in the AH during the NotN frenzy? Lily was just too good to be near fodder priced. Look at her eyes! They fit her so well, she's like a little noodle frog. Here's also a case where Skink saves the day with it's accent colors, couldn't make that Stonewash work without it.
|
|
|
Marjoram
Nocturne Male
Chartreuse Ripple – Buttercup Striation – Metals Underbelly
You know, Marjoram, because of the ram horns? I'm so clever. Remember when I said that Ripple can work wonders? Here's one of those wonders. He was in the AH for cheap, I scried him on a whim, accidentally pressed Ripple... And suddenly I had bought him and was dressing him up so fast. Never would've believed it myself, but Chartreuse and Metals match. He's obviously a Bard, playing his lute under a pomegranate tree all day.
|
Samael
Skydancer Male
Wine Fade– Buttercup Striation – Midnight Underbelly
Again, have I mentioned how much I love picking up every single cheap G1 Buttercup listed in the AH during the NotN frenzy? I actually hesitated for a bit with Samael because I already had a Wine primary (See: Merlot) but then I tried Fade and Underbelly and suddenly he was in my lair. Have you noticed how most of my Buttercups are Skydancers, by the way? It's because Buttercup Striation looks the best on Skydancer wings.
|
|
|
Holi
Tundra Female
Red Piebald – Buttercup Striation – Sanddollar Ringlets
Ringlets is unironically one of my favourite genes, it's just really hard to make it work. Luckily female Tundras make everything work, even really weird color combinations like Holi's. She's another NotN find of mine, and surprisingly good looking with some choice apparel too! I actually couldn't believe that myself when first impulse buying her.
|
Primrose
Spiral Female
Pearl Fade – Buttercup Striation – Heather Thylacine
I don't really like Thylacine as a gene. I despise the gradient on it, it'd be so good without. That said, Fade and Thylacine has never let me down! Don't know what it is about those two genes. Primrose is yet another NotN rescue, people tend to price their Buttercups so low they probably don't even know what Striation does. Primrose is absolutely a comfort dragon, she looks so happy I can't help but smile with her every time I see her.
|
|
|
Musa
Ridgeback Female
Yellow Pinstripe – Buttercup Striation – Aqua Capsule
I often find myself scrying G1 Buttercups that initially seem to have completely random colors, only to find one of the accent genes make it look like it was meant to be. I was also horrified to realize I didn't have a single Ridgeback female in my collection yet! Had to fix that immediately. Musa looks like a very serious music teacher. By the way, the new Tailcoats? Amazing, 10/10.
|
Ruska
Skydancer Male
Buttercup Tapir – Cantaloupe Blend – Coral Capsule
So first off, the corn snake? That's a piece of apparel that works on every dragon, without fail, love it. Second, court apparel? So good, especially the overcoats, I will never get tired of them. Third, Blend is a gene that is also amazing on dragon manes, the simple gradient can look so powerful on certain colors. Like Cantaloupe! I hope to find Ruska a nice accent that covers just the right amount of the Blend.
|
|
|
Chardonnay
Mirror Female
Blackberry Ripple – Buttercup Striation – Cantaloupe Ghost
This collection has way fewer Mirrors than I'm comfortable with, honestly. I love the murder puppies, though as a current puppy owner I gotta say that's basically just regular puppies. The teeth are sharp, and my hands thoroughly gnawed on. That said, Mirrors with Ghost! Can't get better than that honestly. Also, bright colored Ghost always makes me think of fireworks.
|
Sunflower
Fae Male
Gold Tapir – Buttercup Striation – Cerise Capsule
I hope someone somewhere is doing a G1 collection where all dragons have Gold Tapir/Striation because I did also consider that. Look at Sunflower's frills and tell me Faes aren't good looking, I dare you. There's something very royal about Fae males to me, I love dressing them up in jewelry. Also I was watching Into the Spiderverse for like the 100th time when naming him.
|
|
|
Cardinal
Gaoler Male
Cerise Phantom – Buttercup Striation – Buttercup Blossom
I don't know why, but Cardinal gave off a creepy vibe the moment I brought him into my lair. So I gave him glowing eyes and turned him into a Gaoler, to really play with the creepiness! Feels like if he touches you your skin will start sprouting buttercups or something. I didn't even notice he was a double when I first bought him, I was like yay, Cerise primary and picked him up! He really needs an accent.
|
Malus
Tundra Female
Dust Skink – Buttercup Striation – Violet Capsule
Remember when I mentioned that saved search I have for just stalking G1 Buttercups in the AH? It was a slow night shift at work, so I checked the search to pass the time... And someone had listed this pretty girl with Faceted eyes for cheap. I immediately remembered what Dust Skink does and smashed the buy button. What does Dust Skink do? It makes Tundras have a skull for a face! Perfect for spooky season and those creepy eyes of hers. The Violet Capsule matches amazingly as well, unfortunately the mane kinda covers it.
|
|
|
Airhead
Skydancer Female
Sky Fade – Buttercup Striation – Mint Underbelly
Airhead was picked up during the same night shift I bought Malus. She was hanging in the AH already fully gened. I stuck her in the dressing room, played around a bit and decided that she can come with us as well. I have wanted to use the shifting kelpie mane on a Buttercup for the longest time. Did I already mention how well my Buttercup addiction works with my addiction to buying only the most rainbow-coloured of UMAs? Airhead is just a mess of colours, I can't believe how good she looks to me.
|
Sorbet
Spiral Female
Mint Lionfish – Buttercup Striation – Cantaloupe Glowtail
Mint primary was one I was after for a long time, and ended up picking Sorbet up from a mass hatch auction at starting bid. To be honest, I'm not a big fan of Glowtail but it really fits Sorbet, makes her look tasty. I love her faceted eyes too, Sorbet looks like she's just made out of ice cream or something. A very fresh look honestly, I like it!
|
|
|
Breeze
Skydancer Male
Turquoise Fade – Buttercup Striation – Cherry Thylacine
Did I mention Fade and Thylacine yet? Here's another example of that! Breeze is also a great example on why Buttercup Striation is the best on Skydancers. those wings wouldn't look nearly as good on any other breed, because only Skydancers get those sunset shades on their feathers. I'm also still fan of the unicorn manes, they look a little silly but they're great for some very specific looks. Breeze looks like a casanova, probably spends half a day perfecting his mane every day.
|
Snapdragon
Pearlcatcher Female
Rose Fade – Buttercup Striation – Bubblegum Thylacine
Did I mention Fade and Thylacine yet? Snapdragon was originally supposed to be a female tundra, but I was just one Pearlcatcher away from a full row so... Anyway, I really should use the mage sets more often. The hat looks so silly on most breeds, it's adorable. Snapdragon gets a near-perfect colour match with the Peony set, the decision was obvious regarding her outfit. Remember Melia from like 30 dragons ago by the way? Snapdragon is her bubbly happy mage gf.
|
|
|
Mimosa
Tundra Female
Tangerine Pinstripe – Buttercup Striation – Pumpkin Underbelly
Tangerine primary is yet another I searched high and low for, it's definitely an underrated colour. Mimosa looks like a sunset to me, hence the lanterns and nebula silks for some early stars in the skies. A lot of the collection has nebula silks on them, but with a collection like this you cling onto every single purple-and-orange apparel piece you can find.
|
Dextrose
Spiral Male
Ice Skink – Buttercup Striation – Peridot Contour
I am surprised it took this long to get some Contour in my collection, I actually like that gene! It's simple, easy to use and goes well with Skink. What else do you need? Also, while it's true I made Dextrose a Spiral mainly because I didn't have a male one in the collection, it was also to show off his eyes better. Shadow Uncommon is really pretty to me! So cute and pastel purple, so fitting for Buttercup Striation.
|
|
|
Aster
Fae Female
Ruby Tapir – Buttercup Striation – Ivory Capsule
A Buttercup with Ruby primary was a long time dream of mine, because look at that sweet Tapir! I hope someone does a G1 lair tab with nothing but Ruby Tapir/Striation because it's almost as good as Buttercup. I got Aster by asking nicely, sometimes it pays off to ask if people are willing to haggle on their dragons. I really love the new chitinous armor sets too! The breastplate gives a nice eastern dragon vibe, I adore it. I hope to use these pieces a lot on future dragons.
|
Echeveria
Pearlcatcher Male
Obsidian Basic – Buttercup Striation – Maize Ghost
Echeveria here has the dubious honor of being the 50th Buttercup to grace my lair with his presence! I wanted to get something really special for number 50... Then I spotted Echeveria just hanging in the AH with his perfect colors for halloween time. Well, I was missing an obsidian primary, so I guess that's special enough! The collection really doesn't have enough Ghost for my tastes, so I'm glad to have a proper skeleton haunting the place.

Erinus was actually supposed to be a Veilspun... Then I spotted this really pretty accent by Angilian and whoops, he's a Nocturne now. Nocturnes, males especially, are so underappreciated... especially in the accent department. I should know, I only have two in the collection right now, but I hope I'll find myself some more in the future.

[i][u]Orchid Python - Buttercup Striation - Storm Capsule[/u][/i]
Catmint looks like a neon sign in a dark city, like she has some weirdly colored bioluminescence going on. I'm so happy to finally have some Orchid in my collection, especially Orchid Python! Catmint has the dubious honor of being the first Buttercup bought during NotN 2020, I still absolutely adore that festival. Did my very first mass hatch this year, though it did not net me a single Buttercup.

[i]Snapper Female[/i]
[i][u]Sable Fade - Buttercup Striation - Thicket Capsule[/u][/i]
I still try my hardest not to pick favourites, but Fable is absolutely one of the better ones I've bought recently. She's another NotN find, and can I just say how good the recent festival accents have been? Especially for Snappers, I love how this one goes with the starsilks! Thank you Moonbriar for this accent, I still find it hard to truly appreciate Snappers but accents like these made me fall in love with yet another one <3

[i]Veilspun Female[/i]
[i][u]Buttercup Tapir - Shadow Constellation - Bubblegum Branches[/u][/i]
Here's the start of my Veilspun kick. I saw the new ancient, loved it immediately because pretty hair, then I saw it gets Tapir and Striation and fell in love even more. Two things I can't resist are pretty manes and sparkly stars and Veilspuns get both, so I just had to immediately buy one that I could slap Constellation on. Also, besides Blossom, Branches is now also one of my favourite genes. Please staff, flowery genes for moderns soon?
[nextcol][url=http://flightrising.com/main.php?dragon=65132620][img]http://flightrising.com/rendern/avatars/651327/65132620.png[/img][/url][/columns]

[i]Veilspun Male[/i]
[i][u]Maize Fade - Buttercup Striation - Terracotta Underbelly[/u][/i]
I already have Maize Fade in the collection... But I just [i]had[/i] to immediately find the most perfect Veilspun boy when I saw Sherushi's beautiful fox accents. I've always liked foxes, and kitsune-themed accents make me so weak. I'm still kinda iffy on the ancient breeds, because dressing up dragons is my jam... But I do like having a good excuse to waste all my gems on beautiful UM accents.

[i]Veilspun Female[/i]
[i][u]Abyss Shell - Buttercup Striation - Peridot Basic[/u][/i]
Here's the other Veilspun I bought just for Sherushi's beautiful fox accents. I might replace her sometime in the future... I just feel like it's kinda cheating from my "fully gened" -rule to leave the tert basic. But I really needed Abyss Shell in my collection, and Yamazakura's red eyes are [i]perfect[/i] for this look. So, she's only getting replaced if I ever find another plague-eyed girl with abyss and buttercup, with a complementary tert color.
[nextcol][url=http://flightrising.com/main.php?dragon=66210376][img]http://flightrising.com/rendern/avatars/662104/66210376.png[/img][/url][/columns]

[i]Coatl Female[/i]
[i][u]Buttercup Tapir - Buttercup Striation - Cyan Glimmer[/u][/i]
I really tried to resist buying another double Buttercup, I really, really did. But my two Wildclaw doubles had such hilariously unfitting, super bright terts, I couldn't resist picking up yet another one with equally bright tert. Sterlitzia is just wonderful, I love nothing more than finding a good use for a great festival accent, and this is one I've been wishing to use for a while. Now I guess I'm required to find one more double Buttercup with a bright blue tert, to complete the quartet.

[columns][size=4][i][b]Lupine[/b][/i][/size][emoji=lightning rune size=1]
[i]Veilspun Female[/i]
[i][u]Buttercup Tapir - Dust Blend - Rose Branches[/u][/i]
Here's one more Veilspun I just had to get because they're very good and beautiful. Lupine's wings just [i]scream[/i] ace pride to me and I can't get enough of that. Branches is still legit one of the best genes to ever exist right along Blossom and the obvious. It probably looks awful to most, but I really love the look of a greyscale secondary on a very bright and colorful primary. The only thing holding this dragon's looks together are the purple highlights.
[nextcol][url=http://flightrising.com/main.php?dragon=33124687][img]http://flightrising.com/rendern/avatars/331247/33124687.png[/img][/url][/columns]

[i]Banescale Female[/i]
[i][u]Stone Savannah - Buttercup Striation - Antique Skeletal[/u][/i]
In the past, I used to shame Banescales for being an inferior breed incapable of the mighty Striation. But clearly the gods of FR realized their mistake by granting me one of the greatest updates in the history of this site. Now, Banescales have ascended into a breed that can join the fields of Buttercup in my lair, and Artemis has the great honor of being the first female to live there. What a fierce Buttercup I love her.

[i]Banescale Male[/i]
[i][u]Fuchsia Ragged - Buttercup Striation - Ivory Fans[/u][/i]
I'm so, so happy that Banescales get Striation now. As a big fan of spiky dragons, they would've been my immediate favourite ancient if not for the lack of the greatest gene. But that has been fixed, and of course I immediately had to pick up a weird chicken. Fans is the best Banescale tertiary, fight me. Males especially turn into cute lil' chicken dragons and that's the best look honestly. Not to mention the bright accent colors Ragged adds, I hope we get that for modern breeds one day.

Erinus
Nocturne Male
White Basic – Buttercup Striation – Heather Underbelly
Erinus was actually supposed to be a Veilspun... Then I spotted this really pretty accent by Angilian and whoops, he's a Nocturne now. Nocturnes, males especially, are so underappreciated... especially in the accent department. I should know, I only have two in the collection right now, but I hope I'll find myself some more in the future.

Catmint
Pearlcatcher Female
Orchid Python - Buttercup Striation - Storm Capsule
Catmint looks like a neon sign in a dark city, like she has some weirdly colored bioluminescence going on. I'm so happy to finally have some Orchid in my collection, especially Orchid Python! Catmint has the dubious honor of being the first Buttercup bought during NotN 2020, I still absolutely adore that festival. Did my very first mass hatch this year, though it did not net me a single Buttercup.

Fable
Snapper Female
Sable Fade - Buttercup Striation - Thicket Capsule
I still try my hardest not to pick favourites, but Fable is absolutely one of the better ones I've bought recently. She's another NotN find, and can I just say how good the recent festival accents have been? Especially for Snappers, I love how this one goes with the starsilks! Thank you Moonbriar for this accent, I still find it hard to truly appreciate Snappers but accents like these made me fall in love with yet another one <3
|
Calytrix
Veilspun Female
Buttercup Tapir - Shadow Constellation - Bubblegum Branches
Here's the start of my Veilspun kick. I saw the new ancient, loved it immediately because pretty hair, then I saw it gets Tapir and Striation and fell in love even more. Two things I can't resist are pretty manes and sparkly stars and Veilspuns get both, so I just had to immediately buy one that I could slap Constellation on. Also, besides Blossom, Branches is now also one of my favourite genes. Please staff, flowery genes for moderns soon?

Suminagashi
Veilspun Male
Maize Fade - Buttercup Striation - Terracotta Underbelly
I already have Maize Fade in the collection... But I just had to immediately find the most perfect Veilspun boy when I saw Sherushi's beautiful fox accents. I've always liked foxes, and kitsune-themed accents make me so weak. I'm still kinda iffy on the ancient breeds, because dressing up dragons is my jam... But I do like having a good excuse to waste all my gems on beautiful UM accents.
|
Yamazakura
Veilspun Female
Abyss Shell - Buttercup Striation - Peridot Basic
Here's the other Veilspun I bought just for Sherushi's beautiful fox accents. I might replace her sometime in the future... I just feel like it's kinda cheating from my "fully gened" -rule to leave the tert basic. But I really needed Abyss Shell in my collection, and Yamazakura's red eyes are perfect for this look. So, she's only getting replaced if I ever find another plague-eyed girl with abyss and buttercup, with a complementary tert color.

Sterlitzia
Coatl Female
Buttercup Tapir - Buttercup Striation - Cyan Glimmer
I really tried to resist buying another double Buttercup, I really, really did. But my two Wildclaw doubles had such hilariously unfitting, super bright terts, I couldn't resist picking up yet another one with equally bright tert. Sterlitzia is just wonderful, I love nothing more than finding a good use for a great festival accent, and this is one I've been wishing to use for a while. Now I guess I'm required to find one more double Buttercup with a bright blue tert, to complete the quartet.
|
Lupine
Veilspun Female
Buttercup Tapir - Dust Blend - Rose Branches
Here's one more Veilspun I just had to get because they're very good and beautiful. Lupine's wings just scream ace pride to me and I can't get enough of that. Branches is still legit one of the best genes to ever exist right along Blossom and the obvious. It probably looks awful to most, but I really love the look of a greyscale secondary on a very bright and colorful primary. The only thing holding this dragon's looks together are the purple highlights.

Artemis
Banescale Female
Stone Savannah - Buttercup Striation - Antique Skeletal
In the past, I used to shame Banescales for being an inferior breed incapable of the mighty Striation. But clearly the gods of FR realized their mistake by granting me one of the greatest updates in the history of this site. Now, Banescales have ascended into a breed that can join the fields of Buttercup in my lair, and Artemis has the great honor of being the first female to live there. What a fierce Buttercup I love her.
|
Apollo
Banescale Male
Fuchsia Ragged - Buttercup Striation - Ivory Fans
I'm so, so happy that Banescales get Striation now. As a big fan of spiky dragons, they would've been my immediate favourite ancient if not for the lack of the greatest gene. But that has been fixed, and of course I immediately had to pick up a weird chicken. Fans is the best Banescale tertiary, fight me. Males especially turn into cute lil' chicken dragons and that's the best look honestly. Not to mention the bright accent colors Ragged adds, I hope we get that for modern breeds one day.

Lionheart
Guardian Male
Vermilion Lionfish - Buttercup Striation - Fire Capsule
DDDFirefox is another accent artist I'd like to thank for supplying me with an amazing festival accent I have wanted to use since I first saw it. Guardian males? Still very underrated I cannot believe it. Guardian is perfect for the "classic western dragon" -look. Fire Capsule? Very overrated honestly, but for a good reason hahah. Lionheart has a belly full of liquid fire and he will melt you where you stand.

Eucalyptus
Guardian Female
Aqua Fade - Buttercup Striation - Honeydew Runes
|
|
|
Pollyanna
Tundra Male
Fog Lionfish - Buttercup Striation - Lapis Capsule
|
Momo
Skydancer Female
Buttercup Tapir - Buttercup Striation - Thicket Basic
When I started this project, I never expected people to just... PM me with their Buttercups and offer them to me. Special thank you to Colourful for gifting Momo to me, she made for a beautiful little permababy. I was kinda torn between Spiral and Skydancer, but figured since it was specifically a Skydancer that started this project, I needed a Skydancer permababy in the bouquet as well.

Sapling
Skydancer Female
Buttercup Tapir - Peach Trail - Fog Capsule
|
Valpolicella
Skydancer Female
Coral Skink - Buttercup Striation - Sunset Capsule
|
|
|
Trixis
Spiral Female
Coal Fade - Buttercup Striation - Pink Runes
This project has made me appreciate female Spirals so much more. They make me so incredibly happy with their bright smiles and big eyes. This entire project is a thing to make me feel happy and hopefully bring some brightness to others as well, and I think female Spirals capture that feeling really well. Trixis looks like a magical cat with her Fade, it's funny to me.

Amacha
Spiral Male
Banana Pinstripe - Buttercup Striation - Cottoncandy Contour

Also known as I impulse buy way too many G1's. Gene plans are in their profiles, though I'm always up for different ideas! Buttercup Tapir/Striation are a must though.

I already commented on the previous thread, but your collection is a joy to look at! Feel free to put me on the pinglist! I also didn't see a Striation scry for Pollyanna #66031779 yet, so I thought I'd try my hand at it (it's very fun)!
