[center][size=7]First Quest[/size][/center] [b]Stars Lit for this quest:[/b] 65 [b]Total Stars Lit for TCC:[/b] 65 [b]1st favourite under-appreciated dragon today:[/b] @NotAtAllNight's Anemoia [url=https://www1.flightrising.com/dragon/85406498][img]https://www1.flightrising.com/rendern/350/854065/85406498_350.png[/img][/url] [b]Compliment:[/b] Okay, first off I am an absolute [i]sucker[/i] for Clay Flaunt/Flair, so this cutie instantly stood out to me. Literally, they were the first dragon I clicked on in your lair. And the Peach Monarch? Gorgeous color matching, 11/10. And the [i]lore[/i]… Despite having a hard time reading it (mobile and columns don’t seem to get along well, the right side is sadly getting cut off), I am still in love. A dragon who accidentally absorbs others’ memories? And doesn’t even realize until it’s practically too late, and they barely know their own anymore? I love this, so much. [b]2nd favourite under-appreciated dragon today:[/b] @SilentWanderer's Oneiro [url=https://www1.flightrising.com/dragon/87513543][img]https://www1.flightrising.com/rendern/350/875136/87513543_350.png[/img][/url] [b]Compliment:[/b] Okay, wow. Just, wow. How does this gorgeous boy barely have any stars? He is seriously right up my alley; I absolutely adore dull browns, especially with the sort of softness that Stone and Savannah have. And have I mentioned that Savannah is one of my all-time favorite genes? Because it is, especially when it’s so soft. The Umber Points are perfect – that tert can look off in a lot of cases, but this is a case of it done [i]right[/i]. Add to that the gorgeous UMA and (beautifully minimal!) apparel, and you have one gorgeous Coatl.

Maybe... (I didn't, actually, but I sure am taking advantage of it). Ze won't be a permababy, but ze looks cute enough to share now while ze is still a hatchling :D [center][url=https://www1.flightrising.com/dragon/87937609][img]https://www1.flightrising.com/rendern/350/879377/87937609_350.png[/img][/url] Qenzi (ze/zem/zyr)[/center] [size=1](No one should ever expect me to skip ze pronouns when dealing with bees and lightning.

Not only does her color scheme remind me of night sky, the starsilks also call back to, well, stars. She looks like a very fancy lady, like she would invite me or my dragons for a cup of tea. Eventide is also such a lovely name! [br] [center][url=https://www1.flightrising.com/dragon/81488496][img]https://www1.flightrising.com/rendern/350/814885/81488496_350.png[/img][/url][/center] [b]Story/RP:[/b] For once Leth had convinced Sili to take a vacation. It wasn’t like him to leave the library unattended; of course he’d complain about being overworked (he did it a lot, in fact), but he’d stare daggers at anyone who even dared suggest that someone else could watch over his precious books for a while. Just when Sili had noticed that the local puffs have all grown up enough to behave, a traveler had left a flyer at the inn. It was a little piece of parchment advertising a festival. Going there would mean a long journey and he’d have to hitch a ride on a bigger dragon, but… Maybe it could work? In the end, Leth helped him convince Roadrunner to head over to the festival site. It was bustling with activity, so many dragons had gathered to exchange stories and show off their fashions. Sili’s head was spinning a little just looking at it. Roadrunner and he went around looking at various booths and participating in the festivities. Finally, they made their way to the star of the show: a spritely Aether who explained the last objective. They had to find a dragon that looked… like stars? Sili looked around. Among all of the hustle and bustle, it was hard to even make out what most of the dragons looked like. It took him a minute, but eventually he spotted an elegant fae nearby. He hopped off Roadrunner’s shoulder and flew over. “[i]Um, hello... I hope it isn’t too much to say, but my Goodness, you’re gorgeous![/i]” he exclaimed. “[i]Just like the night sky over the plains… What is your name?[/i]” Hearing the name “Eventide” Sili smiled gently. A wave of nostalgia swept across him, but he couldn’t quite point out why. It just seemed… familiar, like hearing a whisper from times past. He asked her a few more things about her home clan and the silks she was wearing, about her time at the festival and other events she'd visited. Though it was small talk, it was surprisingly pleasant to chat with a stranger. There was something freeing about knowing they’d just go their separate ways but with a new memory, a story to tell, perhaps? [center][size=7]New dragon spotlight[/size][/center] Since BSJ ended, I hatched this handsome beast. He doesn't have canon lore yet, but I [i]do[/i] have breeding plans. Please perceive him.

The lace parts of his skin nicely match his secondary and it stands out beautifully against his dark primary. The apparel is so subtle and perfect I didn't realise he had any at first! An incredibly handsome lad~ [b]Participation Badge Entry: [center][img]https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/694678871009918976/1135399512026906624/StardustStar100.png[/img] [img]https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/694678871009918976/1135399899039547453/StardustStar200.png[/img][/center] This Badge is based on [url=https://www1.flightrising.com/dragon/73138852]Stardust[/url]! The top point is her horn, the others are her Pharaoh patterns, and her pearl in the centerpiece ^^

[center][size=7]Fifth Quest[/size] [/center] [b]Stars Lit for this quest:[/b] 43 [b]Total Stars Lit for TCC:[/b] 364 [b]Other Participants Visited:[/b] [b]Favourite star-like dragon today:[/b] [url=https://www1.flightrising.com/dragon/69360206][img]https://www1.flightrising.com/rendern/350/693603/69360206_350.png[/img][/url] [url=https://www1.flightrising.com/dragon/72742785][img]https://www1.flightrising.com/rendern/350/727428/72742785_350.png[/img][/url] [b]Compliment:[/b] @Potatoad both of these starry ladies are gorgeous! Luna looks like a starry night sky touched by a faint aurora. Her pale eyes shine out from under her mane like a bright star. Her Sparkles complete the look of course. A very beautiful dragon! Kuu is so noble and tranquil, she makes me think of looking at the reflection of the night sky in a clear, quiet lake. I get the sense that she's very wise, or at least calm enough that others assume that she has answers for them. I'm surprised that all of her colours are different, I thought she was an xxx! (And thank you for making the randomizer! It's very useful! <3) Below is Stardust meeting these lovlies (and a cameo from Hazard): [br] [center][url=https://www1.flightrising.com/dragon/73138852][img]https://www1.flightrising.com/rendern/350/731389/73138852_350.png[/img][/url][/center] [b]Story/RP:[/b] Dragons that were[i] stars!?[/i] Dragons could [i]be[/i] stars? Or stars could be dragons.. ? Stardust wasn't too sure on this point, but she had been buzzing with excitement ever since Ylli had read out that mysterious letter. (So excited that perhaps she hadn't properly taken the information in…) Stardust couldn't [i]wait[/i] to meet a real, actual star. She wished [i]she[/i] could be a star. Not that she was sure what being a star would entail, but it sounded cool. Stars had lots of friends, right? Up there in the sky with them, sparkling together. Her mind was filled with thoughts of star-dragons all the way home. A bright flash of gold in the sky brought her attention back into the moment (even if it was with a thought of [i]Star?![/i]). It wasn't a star, but a Banescale. One that Stardust recognised as a dragon that was helping Ylli this event. He must be going home to a clan in the Viridian Labyrinth too. But maybe… maybe the star lived in [i]his[/i] clan? The star could be her [i]neighbour[/i]! Stardust flapped her little wings harder to keep the big dragon in sight. He descended somewhere in the Gladeveins, and Stardust tried to estimate what landmark tree was closest to the point where the Banescale had disappeared. When she reached the point that had been her best guess, she was exhausted enough to fold her wings and tumble into a free-fall to reach the ground. She unfurled them again at the last moment to catch an updraft to gentle her landing, and then promptly collapsed in a heap anyway. She flexed her hind paws, releasing the pearl she'd been gripping so tightly. The curl of her tail prevented it rolling away - she was well-practiced at that. "Are you… okay? Little one?" Stardust blinked her eyes open to see the delicate face of a veil leaning over her. Stardust squeaked a gasp, sitting up so fast that her pearl nearly did roll away. She fumbled to catch it, not being able to take her eyes away from the elegant dragon. The [i]beautiful[/i], starry, enchanting dragon, with scales that twinkled with starlight. She [i]had[/i] to be a star! Poor little Stardust found herself tongue-tied. Before she could muster any words, another dragon approached. This one was a large, shaggy Gaoler with fur of the fuzzy purple-blues of distant smudged galaxies that shimmered with stars. "[i]Two[/i] stars?!" Stardust squealed, dropping her pearl. It rolled away this time, and she had to rush after it and pounce to catch it, which landed her at the Gaoler's feet. Stardust gazed up in awe, lost in the many repeated twinkling stars against cosmic fur in her fractal eyes. Stardust was just a name, but this dragon really looked [i]made[/i] of it.

[center][size=7]Fourth Quest[/size][/center] [b]Stars Lit for this quest:[/b] 190 [b]Total stars lit for TCC:[/b] 1115 [b]Location of ad:[/b] signature ^^ [b]First Game Participated in:[/b] [url=https://www1.flightrising.com/forums/drs/3261125#post_3261125]dragon share theme week: sandsurge dragons[/url] [b]Second Game Participated in:[/b] [url=https://www1.flightrising.com/forums/drs/3173295/1]let's make a dragon rainbow[/url] [center][b]Favourite dragon starred today:[/b] [url=https://www1.flightrising.com/dragon/87149207][img]https://www1.flightrising.com/rendern/350/871493/87149207_350.png[/img][/url] @Spookery [b]Compliment:[/b] its not easy making a hatchling look genuinely really impressive, but Hanzo is done beautifully. the contrast between the dark blues and blacks alongside the stark white and icy blues is so lovely, and the ice primal eyes along with the genes gives it a truly magical icy look. the scene and familiar also work really well to pull the look together. [/center]

[center][size=7]Third Quest[/size] [/center] [b]Stars Lit for this quest:[/b] 69 [b]Total stars lit for TCC:[/b] more than 300 [b]Favourite dragon from 1st Superstar:[/b] @Beezarre [url=https://www1.flightrising.com/dragon/73401304][img]https://www1.flightrising.com/rendern/350/734014/73401304_350.png[/img][/url] I have a total soft spot for dragons with basic genes that still look killer. Nook's accent and gold veined tertiary go so perfectly together, and hazel harvest apparel and chancellor rings are a wonderful accompaniment. I'm getting kintsugi vibes. [b]Favourite dragon from 2nd Superstar:[/b] @caityjay [url=https://www1.flightrising.com/dragon/84684805][img]https://www1.flightrising.com/rendern/350/846849/84684805_350.png[/img][/url] I adore ancient dragons, but they usually feel unfinished without an accent or skin - Gygegenne is 100% complete on his own! Radioactive ghost stands out wonderfully on obsidian, and the pinkish sheen elevates it even more. The radioactive and pink in weaver are perfect too. Even the purple ties in with his shadow eyes. :hearteyesemoji: [b]Favourite dragon from 3rd Superstar:[/b] @NotAtAllNight [url=https://www1.flightrising.com/dragon/85363660][img]https://www1.flightrising.com/rendern/350/853637/85363660_350.png[/img][/url] Elidi is so pretty. The red tones that chocolate iridescent brings in in the tail go great with her wings and accent, gold filigree looks like it was made to go with that accent, and the red glow in the lanterns looks amazing against sanguine constellation. (brain stopped braining so apologies for shorter compliment than I gave the others)

[center][size=5][b]August 1st New Dragon[/b][/size][/center] I am completely gone on these spikey monsters... Not as new as yesterday's, but still obtained during this event and not on my participation card: [center][url=https://www1.flightrising.com/dragon/87686402][img]https://www1.flightrising.com/rendern/350/876865/87686402_350.png[/img][/url] Dahlia (she/they)[/center]

[center][size=7]First Quest[/size][/center] [b]Stars Lit for this quest:[/b] 43 [b]Total stars lit for TCC:[/b] 106 (63 lit purely from browsing participation cards and new posts in the thread) Hello there, I'm combining full lair crawls I promised for BSJ Superstars with this quest. Each person below got a full lair/den crawl where I lit the star on every dragon I like and hadn't previously starred. @Deladria [b]Stars newly lit:[/b] Found only 12 new stars to light as I've already seen the majority of your lovely and interesting collection. That being said, I did enjoy the revisits to my faves <3 [b]Favourite dragon newly starred:[/b] [center][url=https://www1.flightrising.com/dragon/87085611][img]https://www1.flightrising.com/rendern/350/870857/87085611_350.png[/img][/url][/center] Just look at this delightfully vibrant, fantastic example of harlequin and jester. Man, that apparel is so super well chosen. I adore how perfectly matched the herald's wrap is with ultramarine jester, and how wonderfully the obsidian harlequin fits with the adjudicator waist wrap, and then the delightful checkered spread of the four pieces together red and yellow head area and top wing into blue and yellow wing, and then the flip for the bottom. Such a unique and visually interesting tundra, I love Billariath <3 -------- @Dessy [b]Stars newly lit:[/b] 16 (as with Deladria, I've already starred the majority of your collection, but I did enjoy the revisit to all the others <3 ) [b]Favourite dragon newly starred:[/b] [center][url=https://www1.flightrising.com/dragon/78592587][img]https://www1.flightrising.com/rendern/350/785926/78592587_350.png[/img][/url][/center] What a delightfully fun looking mirror! I love the sunglasses so much. Rais actually looks rather amusing to me overall, but in a delightfully fun, cool way. I love all the blues and the sparkle added from flair in combo with the nightshroud. Wonderful familiar match too! I really enjoyed his lore too and am extra pleased to find out just how much he likes making people happy. Mission accomplished little mirror, just by being you <3 -------- @Doozie [b]New stars added:[/b] 15 (as with the two prior, I've already starred the majority of your dragons, but I enjoyed my revisit to them all the same <3 ) [b]Favourite dragon newly starred:[/b] [center] [url=https://www1.flightrising.com/dragon/73134987][img]https://www1.flightrising.com/rendern/350/731350/73134987_350.png[/img][/url][/center] What a lovely snapper! blackberry makes me think a little of the Mary Poppins of potion making, just lovely, proper, and maybe a little bit eccentric and cheeky. I really adore the swirl of purples and some well placed books - also love the idea of giving capsule to a potion maker / parfumier - very suiting <3
