Ooh boy, this is going to be a long post. I know a lot of good eggs who deserve a shoutout.

All of you people are amazing. Ven, you’re just a plain good person and great friend. You really know how to make a day better. :) Keep being a good egg.
Most of you helped me find the perfect dragon for multiple purposes. Whether I bought them or adopted them, rest assured they got spoiled rotten with lore and all. xD I might spoil them with art someday.
It all started with bubbie, who may or may not have made me legit like Ridgebacks. xD I remember struggling to find the perfect dragon for this outfit.
Aervunth's Dream Outfit
Then they showed it on a dragon I’d later name
Aervunth, and it looked absolutely perfect. No flaws whatsoever. Literally nothing that bugged me, like spikes sticking through or something. My inner dragon fashionista shouted “I don’t care what it costs, get yourself a dragon like that!” at the top of her lungs. Thanks to bubbie’s kindness, I could buy Aervunth at the fodder price at the time. Her outfit might not be complete yet, thanks to a few hard-to-find pieces. But it’s definitely starting to look exactly as planned.
Dragonley, I’m not sure if I adopted
Monoceros from you, or someone else. But her lineage traced back to your lair, so you deserve a shoutout. Either way, I kept the original lore on her, because I loved it. I might expand it someday, if that’s okay with you. But when she came in, I remember it inspiring me for her dream outfit. I hope I did the Arcanist proud.
Monoceros' Dream Outfit
I’m still struggling to find the pieces, and it wouldn’t be complete without the old festival item. She has a mate, which happens to be a lore baby and the Arcane rep of my lair.
Soft, the outfit I bought
Bralzrim for is coming along great. I’m going to splurge on extra apparel slots for him after the push, so I can complete it. I managed to find a placeholder for the sword from it, but I might keep the Cleaver he has now. It was pretty cheap once I came across it, and I feel it looks just as good.
Anyway, I was so glad he was unnamed when I bought him. It gave me some room to play with cool names matching his intended lore. I remember refreshing a name generator a few times, and listing names that I felt fit him. Bralzrim sounded like it would strike fear into the hearts of his enemies. xD And it happened to match the names of his parents well.
I scried him an ideal mate (which is hard to find because of her colour combo). But once I do find her, their babies are going to be gorgeous. Pretty enough to sell if they’re not my taste. No breeding pair has achieved that yet: it’s either too pretty to sell, or complete fodder. If the mate happened, they'd also be the most expensive pair in my lair. xD Any perhaps the most spoiled ones.
So all of them are being spoiled rotten, and wouldn’t even be anywhere near the ‘only exalt in case of emergency’ list. If push comes to shove, they’re staying put.

Thanks for always listening. I know it’s not easy in my case. I complain a lot, I fret over things a lot, I’m a hot mess. But I always found a place with you where I wouldn’t be judged for it, and a listening ear. You guys give that Plague chat a real sense of community, and always make me feel like I belong. If anyone tries to destroy that sense of safety, give me a call. I’ll personally kick them out.
Especially ShadowWolf, she’s always in the support and venting section of the Plague chat offering a listening ear and honest advice. You really helped me figure some stuff out that nobody in my direct environment could give me clarity about without either judging, or debunking my suspicions. And I’ll always be grateful for that.
Poppyrose, thanks for always discussing lore and dragon fashion with me. :) It’s really nice to have someone to fashionista out with. I was actually a little flattered when you asked me for advice the first time. You actually made me realize that lore and outfits really were sort of my thing on this site, and made me consider dressing other people’s dragons. Here’s to hoping I’m good enough at it for that. xD
Faededfyre, you always manage to cheer me up when I’m down. Whether it’s a meme or a pun, we share a sense of humor. You have made my day better on more occasions than I can count. Oh well, we were counting in llama's anyway. xD
Sorry for the long post, have a potato.
