I had a G1 happen to me. This is Calocyrto!

This fellah gets Chrysocolla'd, too. I knew it from the start, but of course I had to weigh all my options first (>.>). You are intriguing, dude. I'm longing to customize you.

Deciding at the speed of light for Light Dom

This year's birthday G1 will be turned into an Obelisk and get Flair, Flecks, and Python, Boulder, or Falcon (I can't decide):

I'll stick with the original scry for this G1:

Ozoene will get Chrysocolla, Lacquer, and Eclipse (ouch):

And the still unnamed Pearlcatcher will make the switch to Noxtide:

Elgin will get to wear outfit V2.

I choose le clutter for Aethelox (outfit 2).

Still TBD: scenes for the aforementioned recipients of outfits.

Aaaand with all/most of this out of the way, I wrote a very lengthy shopping list. Please be kind, Marketplace.

Business as usual:

Leaden's outfit is still in the works... I suppose. I don't really know what I'm doing, and ^ ate up all of my Decision Points.

Argh. I wish I could layer skins over apparel.

Plans, more or less finalized!

Saffron/Cottoncandy/Umber

Tundra, Sailfish/Saddle/Ringlets

Sand/Antique/Saffron

Ridgeback, Chorus/Foam/Glimmer

Maize/Platinum/Gloom

Thorntail, Dimension/Foam/Paradise, Arcane Rare

Clanbound Thorntails; narrowed down, but not finalized yet because I'm not too happy with them and I'd prefer to wait for new genes to come along:

Olive/Fire/Blackberry

Black/Radioactive/Chocolate

Maemi will get Flecks; the visual differences are minimal, and I prefer it to Firefly for breeding reasons.

New drrrragon! G1, specifically. Maybe... maybe I should stop. Or should I? Hm...

Brought to my attention by the good ol' scryin' cheap ah gen1s thread. Currently convincing myself that I do not need to check what they'd look like as different breeds, with different genes, etc.

I think I crave Glimmer an overwhelming amount in this case, although Flecks and Soap could be workable, too.

I found them scried with Lacquer, but I think I prefer Foam? Could be a primal. I'm contemplating whether I should apply a Silhouette Scroll to get the best of both poses.

Accent: Ancient Memories is a nice match.

Okay, this one came unexpected. Welcome to Victrix!

Really, really, really pretty dragon. To make matters worse: oh good gods, the potential. A few examples:

I could make my yellow-range Flecks dreams come true, as I'd finally have a female counterpart. And Flecks is so, so amazing on Obelisks.

To my surprise, I did not have a dragon with a Sky primary. I do have several potential keepers from my own breeding dilemmas sitting in my Den, but that shouldn't stop me, right? I like Sky's accent colors a lot, and Flaunt has got all the right ones. I'd Sky-Flaunt all of Sornieth if I could (or if there wasn't Grapefruit)!

Am I a pastels person? I've had my doubts lately, but pastels usually implies colors, and if there's color, you can count me in. Plus the yellows, and BUTTERCUP! ARGFVF Buttercup really butters my bagel (I'm lactose intolerant)

I'm sure I'll manage to make Vixtrix be connected to The Plot as well, somehow, unintentionally. Once I'm done *checks notes* thinking about dragons definitely not connected to it (?). Helicoha is waiting.

I'll never get around to my backlog of dragons to be dressed, will I.

Two very different G1s and a couple of scries that convinced me!

Saffron/Cottoncandy/Umber is a ton of fun to work with. While I have no shortage of dragons with either Saffron or Cottoncandy, there are simply too many fun combinations.

The morphology that persuaded me: Sailfish on a furry breed (Tundra) + its Saffron gradients, Cottoncandy in any of its beautiful presentations, many of which having darker markings that match Umber, and Ringlets forming an eye shape on the wing arm.

Polkadot could also be interesting, and I have yet to scry the dragon as an Ancient breed.

Maize/Platinum/Gloom is exceptionally matchy overall, especially with Gloom Paradise. Since I don't want to buy a Cirrus scroll and don't like its presentation on M Auraboa, this leaves me with Everlux and Thorntails.

It's wonderful on Everlux, but they barely have any primary and secondary genes that go well with it, and those that do are leaning rather monochrome.

Thorntails, however, have a vast pool of genes that don't clash terribly and make it easy to include some accent colors. Additionally, this might be my chance to finally have an Arcane Primal. Gem genes aren't necessary, there are multiple fitting secondaries and Chorus could be a substitute for Pharaoh.

Part 1 here!
