I like "scent of nostalgia". Nostalgia is for things people like. It brings to my mind pleasant scents like fresh baked cookies at grandma's house or roses or Chanel No 5, which I think is what you're going for with the perfume bottle iconography. "History" is more nebulous and could include unpleasant scents, like battlefields.
Just my two cents.

Thank you Annie. I think I stick with the one I have now

This is a just for fun post. Sorry if it's out of place, but some people have expressed interest in how the noob mind works, so here it is. Halloween is my life-long favorite secular holiday, and thanks to the awesomeness that is 2020, I can only celebrate it online. Anyway, I'm trying to decide which pairs to breed for the most Halloweeniest hatchies. I've got 5 nests and 6 pairs I'm considering, so I'd love opinions from you all.

Pair 1, my custom progen and a very close colors Naomi descendant:


Pair 2, my XXX Eldritch pair:


Pair 3, my Campfire Faes (greatest chance of breeding the goal Terra/ Terra/ Obs offspring):


Pair 4, my Campfire Nocs (lesser chance of breeding the goal Terra/ Terra/ Obs offspring, but it's Halloween + sp00ky Nocs):


Pair 5, Bat Fae producing pair:


Pair 6, Spooky Skydancers:


Thanks for any opinions on which pairs to choose for my spooky noob Halloween!

[Ana]

Pair 2 second choice is pair 1

[Dewclaw]

Pair 1, 2, or 3...in that order.

I want new bio templates

Compare these two bios - which looks better/easier to read/most aesthetic. What would you change? Don´t mind t he vistas just there to show how it will look once I settle on the right vista. My goal is to individualize every divider and every picture to each dragon. Just using the bogsneak to write the template. The egg used beside the bio text is just templates.. I need to find something not copyrighted

[Dewclaw]

I like the bogsneak one.

[Ana]

Thank you so much for the feedback. Anything you would change or add?

[Dewclaw]

I don't know much about bios, but I like the way it looks, and if it includes everything you want it to, I wouldn't tinker with it.

[Ana]

Awesome. Thank you.

[Ana]

made a few more tweeks so now this is my new bio formate.. What do you guys think?

[Dewclaw]

Looks great to me.

[Ana]

[GormanGhaste]

[Ana]

I have a question about uma etiquette. I'm pretty new to uma's; this will be the second one I've ever gotten directly from an artist.

I got a slot for a second run of a uma, and when pinged to pay, I paid promptly. One slot hasn't paid yet, and the player that has not paid yet does not appear to have logged in for a week. Is it ok to politely pm the artist to ask about delivery, or should I just chill?

[Ana]

Just chill. It can take a loooong time to get an accent approved. And they may not send it off until they have all slots filled. Very common pratise. You can always check the persons thread if you are worried
Maybe write something like : " im looking forward to the accent, it's so pretty" on the thread if you want a form for responce

[AcadiAnne]

Ok, thank you! I'll chill. I don't want to annoy the artist and get black listed or something. Do uma's have to get re-approved for every run? That sounds annoying for uma artists (but I guess it makes sense if tptb are trying to get the site to be more child-friendly or may not have realized something was copywrited, like that RoR WC skin).
