Here’s why eyes not being breedable/buyable sucks.

Suppose you want a dragon with a particular color combo, and ~primal~ eyes. You don’t care about breed OR gender.

Going off of data generated so far from scries, scattersights, and actual hatches, we’ll generously give primal a 1% chance of appearing in a given hatchling (for the record, this is pretty much the same as Multi). Because breed doesn’t matter, you manage to get your hands on a pair of exactly identical, unrelated, different breed plentifuls (obviously highly unlikely of ever happening for most all projects). These dragons can pop out identical clones of your preferred color combo every 15 days, with an average weighted clutch size of 2.7.

This means that there is a  roughly 50% chance you will have hatched your dream dragon after 68.97 hatchlings (25.6 clutches), or 383.17 days. Years have 365.25 days (leap years)- this means it will take 1.05 YEARS (1 year and 18.25 days).

Under unrealistically perfect conditions- the perfect breeding pair, no preference for sex or breed, never missing a single day of nest incubation, it takes OVER A YEAR to have a FIFTY PERCENT CHANCE at that dragon.

Now consider that most all breeding pairs do not produce clones- the bigger the range, the more astronomically difficult it becomes. Just a 1 color difference in 1 gene doubles the time it takes. Don’t want to buy a scroll/want an Imp? Enjoy seeing that process take as much as over twice that long! Want a particular sex? Enjoy your doubled wait time! Fate not smiling upon your 50/50 odds? Sorry, nothing you can do but keep breeding! Sure hope you’re not using nest rentals!

Here’s a handy guide on how to deal with people who like fictional incest between their pixel dragons:

Is it hurting you? Probably not, but block them.

Does it gross you out? Probably, so block them.

Is it bothering you now that you know they’re out there, on the same dragon site as you? Almost definitely. Block them.

Should you call them out for liking something that grosses you out? No. They aren’t responsible for the kind of stuff you see on the internet. You are. Block them.

Should you accuse them of supporting real incest? No! What the hell? What’s the matter with you? Liking something in fiction ≠ supporting it in reality. You’d have to make the same kinds of accusations against everyone who ever liked/drew/wrote anything problematic ever at that point. Just ＢＬＯＣＫ ＴＨＥＭ

I don’t really rant about things very often, but this really kind of irked me, so here goes. Sorry for the salt.

So earlier this morning, while the auction house was all messed up, I didn’t really care and started listing dragons around fodder price, but not exactly at it, so I could check and see it when it was fixed. I got home just about an hour ago and none of them sold yet, so I was going to take them down when I got the notification that someone bought a cute G1 I hatched and put up on accident. The person’s lair is very lovely, and the dragon fit in and was in the process of being spoiled with apparel + a cool accent when I was typing my message, which I’ll put below. I believed it was polite enough, I was trying to be casual about it so it’s a little informal, but I asked if I could buy it back from them since it was a mistake on my part.

A few minutes later I get the reply, but this is the part that really bothers me because it just seems so condescending to me personally. Maybe they didn’t mean it, I don’t know.

“Sorry that you’re human and make mistakes, I’ve gotten what I wanted!” I wouldn’t be mad if it didn’t come off in that way, idk, maybe I’m reaching. It just makes me feel bad. If the person who bought him is reading this, then I’m not mad at you, you have every right to keep the dragon since I sold it. I just feel kind of hurt by the reply to me talking.

Have a nice day, everyone.

its just

whenever somebody says something like “LOL i got a mispriced item for WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAy lower than it should be! check your prices, next time #kek!”

or something like that…i just get really upset? because like there’s a lot of assholes that take advantage of misprices and don’t message the people who sold it to them?

like whenever i see a misprice i buy it immediately and message the owner, because honestly guys, it’s not that hard to be a fair and hardworking person.

i know a shitton of people are going to be all like:

“I do realize someone on the other end may be really sad and bawling their fucking eyes out. But, I don’t give a shit. Like someone else said, have 2 tabs open for the AH. It’s that easy. And if you can’t do that, stop telling us about your sob stories. ”

“ It’s on the seller to price things correctly. Why should the buyer feel bad or guilty for snatching up the deal, mistake or no? ”

“ They learn from their mistakes like hot damn, and someone lucked out. Lols bye. ”

“ I never feel bad for the seller. It’s easy enough to have two tabs open, one to sell, one buying. List your item, change tabs, look up the item, confirm your price is correct. Don’t do that, it’s your own fault if you don’t catch a mistake. ”

“ Like I give a fuck about how someone feels about their mistake. ”

“ “you got a cheap item, but at what cost?” one I dont give a fuck about ”

(yes, these are actual responses some people have gotten whilst addressing this issue)

Not rape jokes

Rape jokes will never be funny

Strangely enough, in recent years, it’s done frequently by the same people who’re supposedly against rape (but in practice only oppose it when it’s done to women).

Rape jokes ARE funny to certain people. For some, it’s because they just don’t care; for others, they’re trying to trivialize their own trauma so they feel better about themselves.

PRETTY SURE A LOT OF VICTIMS AVOID THE FUCKIN /THOUGHT/ LET ALONE JOKE ABOUT IT

Never do I hear r*pe jokes aimed at men because everyone knows that still. isn’t. funny.

Secondly, OP wasn’t talking about r*pe survivors making r*pe jokes. They were saying “Rape. Jokes. Aren’t. Funny.” A general statement which is true??? Because r*pe isn’t a funny topic to joke about? Because the majority of people who make those jokes are NOT r*pe survivors??

All I said was that r*pe survivors (from what I have experienced) don’t tend to make r*pe jokes because….idk…they’re triggering???? Y'know because they’re a victim of that?

‘Twisting your words’? Honey child, I don’t think that means what you think it means. 

if you wanna make a point then do it, but you don’t need to fucking insult people in the process of it.
