Uhm, opinions?

So, I got this one here. It's my first bronze Shimmer, so yay! I'm not so sure what to think about that lineage, though. It looks interesting, sure...but well, what do you think of deadlines? Do you think they are pretty? Or that it's cheating, somehow? Or something else? Would you try continuing the lineage?

I suppose I have mixed feelings on them. I don't favour them as much as an unbroken lineage; there is a sense of 'this person took the easy way out' (to get a nice-looking lineage), but on the other hand? It *can* be prettier than an untrimmed messy lineage, so it's visually nice (especially one like yours, where the 'break' gives it both a nice size and a very consistent look)!

I seem to be the odd one out here on the 'how many tombstones' issue, too; I think I prefer only a single tombstone. Two just looks like... neglect? Tragedy? Ruthlessness? Even more murky/messy breeding? Maybe I just like seeing the breed of at least one of the 'original' pair. :D

As to whether I'd try to continue the line... "absolutely!" if you mean simply continuing the stair with more Pillows, but I don't think I'd ever try to make a deadline of my own.

I too feel two tombstones look like tragedy; I always put "Orphan" in the name of such dragons ^^"

It is visually nice like that, that's why I accepted trade (apart from the "Bronze Shimmer, yay" feeling). But I really don't like that one can still see the original lineage of the tombstone (which I didn't knew before), so...have traded it away again.
