Islet Finally getting around to some owed replies <3 Just had a few return comments/answers first. I really enjoyed all your lovely compliments, thank you <3 Also the fact you went above and beyond (which, again, if you do more, you can just count how many stars instead of telling me the star number and names). But since you did all that extra work, I’m gonna bend my own rule and actually pick at least one of your dragons to compliment here as well and name a few of my own faves, in addition to telling you how many stars I gave your dragons.
Comments and questions first. I loved all the compliments, even if I didn’t have a comment about them <3
I am also not one much for the wolf capes, so I’m glad to hear someone of similar taste agree that he pulls it off anyway.
You know, it wasn’t until you asked me
how I got so many Night of the Nocturne badges that I really had to stop and
look at the whole list and absorb just how many badges were in it and ONLY from this year when I started tracking them that way. I’ve other holiday badges elsewhere from previous years that still need to be added, I think lol.
Anyway, to answer that question, I counted all winter holiday-themed badges AND Night of the Nocturne ones from every flight running events and giving out badges. A few (such as the orbs) were outright purchased instead of tied to events. And I just did and completed so many events in December, which is also why I’m so behind on returning compliments from other activities like this one and my raffle lol. I ended up needing like a 2 week break to do WAY less and just keep those main 2 posts going. Ready to tackle it all now though!
Also the final block of badges are all from the same farming event and there were a LOT of them to earn and I did a LOT of farming so earned them all lol.
Drytil (the artist who made the wings you liked in Mithras’ bio) makes such excellent
high quality art pieces like that and more. Couldn’t recommend them enough for custom-coloured graphics like that they make weapons, flower brooches, those wings, other wings, gem piles, so many good dragon-matching shinies. I also have somewhere around 9 of Drytil’s accents on my dragons too lol. As far as quality adopts go, they’re actually super affordable too.
As for Kaiba, seeing your excitement there alone would’ve made my day :D I do honestly want to find and watch some of it when I have time, preferably after I figure out some of my own dragon Kaiba lore (because I want to just keep it theme inspired and not accidentally go full fandragon on the idea - wanna see where my head takes all the lore pieces first). Either way the anime sounds amazing and I will eventually watch it for sure. Glad lore-inspired-by-the-anime-summary Kaiba meets with such enthusiastic approval <3
That’s a lot of paragraphs…thank you for your patience with my chatter lol on to your dragons!

Approx. 356 dragon stars later across your whole collection, I should warn you I lost count in the late 100s and didn’t have the willpower to start from scratch, so I rewound to the last number I remembered saying out loud, so might be more stars lol. Also, this count includes dragons I’ve starred on previous visits. Basically I gave a star to everyone I liked as-is, and everyone I liked every scry in their bio of and one I almost didn’t star until I saw the outfit plans at the end and was just super impressed how that dragon went from a no to a yes please. I wish I could remember which one that was but apparently I forgot to keep that as an open tab.
Some names of faves: Vinicius and Preneed ( 59591271 & 83210343 ), The lovely unnamed Pearlcatcher ( 72551074 ), Perjure (9315242), Fen (70169796), Unnamed 82787272 has a pleasing # pattern and I cast my vote for the first scry for sure with the filigree.
Then there are ones I loved so much they got added to my (admittedly huge) bookmark folder of faves on site: Dusk 74710115, Torrent 26577521, & Crypt 48353045
Also I super enjoyed all the wonderful art on the ones who had it <3
Probably my favourite:
