Welcoem to posts!!
in the future - u will be able to do some more stuff here,,,!! like pat catgirl- i mean um yeah... for now u can only see others's posts :c
(This is uh a small rant I made a few months ago about a issue in Wings of Fire under one of Wings of Charcole’s videos and I just want to hear you guys out—morally gray characters in Wings of Fire barely exists.)
As we see, throughout the series all the characters have a ‘black’ and ‘white’ spot. The false dragonets, because they’re bitter, angry and mean are in that obvious ‘black’ spot and because they’re mean and grumpy they have no redeeming qualities and are just seen as being mean jerks. Viper fucking dies for some reason, other than to add tension. Was her death deserved? I don’t.. think so. For one, the false dragonets shouldn’t be taking their anger out on Fatespeaker. She didn’t come up with the prophecy and it isn’t her fault that Morrowseer is being unreasonable and an asshole all for a prophecy that doesn’t even exist. Fatespeaker is just as upset with her own tribe as Viper was Especially with the setting they were forced to live in, a lava island, really? I think, if Tui tried, she could’ve at least showed a more sympathetic side to them. All five of them were taken by their families and were forced into this responsibility. Guess you could say they were okay with it at first until they realized how they were being treated and how ridiculous this whole this is. Like how Squid says outloud that it’s not his fault that there’s another SeaWing better than him which is probably the most tragic thing I’ve heard from him. There’s just too much ‘bad’ with these four dragons and not enough ‘good’. Fatespeaker is the only ‘white’ character in the group so of course she’s immediately accepted by the dragonets.
(I’m pretty sure the only two false dragonets who rightfully knew their parents were Flame and Squid. And Morrowseer just took Flame without even telling Avalanche lol.)
Winter and Sundew… they also feel a bit punished. Now I’m rereading the series for a third time right now and I’m only on the Dark Secret, but what I remember, they also weren’t treated great by the narrative. Winter was being a grumpy idiot in Darkness of Dragons so of course no one takes the time to understand his reasonings for being incredibly mad at Darkstalker. Instead they’re all mad at him. But of course, Winter shouldn’t have talked down to Moonwatcher like that since at this very moment she had no idea about the plague on the IceWing’s(—yet she read all the terrible stuff and spells Darkstalker’s put on his family and friends and if she really think he’s redeemable after all of that crap, I’m sorry Moon, you’re a bit dumb and too nice for your own good—)which is also terrible, like Qibli should’ve told her about the plague. It makes me more sick that they don’t even tell Winter what happened to Darkstalker since they claim he’d be very angry and might tell the IceWings or something, a tribe he’s no longer associated with. They’re assuming things about Winter because of his superiority of his tribe and that clearly means they don’t trust him. And yeah, who else wouldn’t be mad at the fact that they decided to not kill Darkstalker when at that very moment they could’ve? (Oh, right, because every protagonist needs to have that ‘murder bad’ POV. Now, it’s okay for a few characters but having it be ALL OF THEM is tiring. I’m a bit thankful that at the end of the day Tsunami and Sundew don’t exactly act like this. I mean, in bookone Tsunami did, but she was still a fighter).
Oh and Carnelian, that SkyWing who was being bitter for a few moments died in a explosion.
Icicle is never heard from again and her actions are unforgivable because she killed dragons in war and of course she has to be mean and stuff, trying to get Hailstorm back for a petty role(I don’t honestly care for Icicle, but I do believe her main motivation was to get Hailstorm back).
(Meanwhile, Sora literally commits a war crime.)
Sundew, in her book, has every damn right to hate the HiveWings but apparently the LeafWings trying to consult with controlling Queen Wasp so she can stop attacking them is a bad idea(saying it outloud is a bit monstrous but she was already evil from the start and it’s clear Queen Sequoia had no evil intentions behind this, all expect accidentally giving Queen Wasp such a powerful weapon). So Cricket’s apparently RIGHT about her tribe being good people so Sundew is forced to change their perspective of them. Ah, what? HiveWings GOOD for enslaving SilkWings? Not like they showed remorse or anything. That one HiveWing caring more about their child than either a SilkWing or LeafWing isn’t enough to say ‘Oh well not all HiveWings are bad.’
How come the HiveWings, who enslaved a whole other tribe, with no problem might I add, are not bashed as hard as the NightWings? Remember when Starflight wanted to see them? Remember when Glory told Starflight that he shouldn’t be proud to meet his tribe because they’re terrible shits and then went on to call Starflight BARELY a NightWing? But yeah, what the few NightWings did was extremely awful but unlike the HiveWings they at least KNEW what they wanted. They were trying to get a new home while meanwhile Queen Wasp wanted power because she likes power(I don’t mind power hungry villains but I DO mind when you change that power hungry villain into a SECONDARY villain and then go ahead and give her no cool DEATH. SPOILER; Wasp doesn’t even die, she’s ARRESTED.)
AND SOMEHOW Sundew ISN’T allowed to hate the HiveWings since not all of them wanted to turn her tribe into a hivemind. I can see a few HiveWings being against the idea. Cricket had mentioned a few protest but they were all taken care of.
But still though, the Pyrrhia tribe’s hatred for the NightWings is nowhere near to the Pantala’s hatred of the HiveWings. It could also be the fact that Morrowseer and Queen Battlewinner lied about their super cool powers and this prophecy to get off an ugly island. But the HiveWings aren’t even hated on a bit for enslaving a whole tribe and having no problem with it.
Y’see why sometimes Tui’s not good at writing some characters? I do LOVE Wings of Fire but there are some times in the books where it just DRIVES ME MAD. Like the whole of ARC 3, not counting the Poison Jungle, only the end of it. Almost every character is written in black and white, and when we get a character written in that black perspective like Winter and Sundew they’re bashed on later on or earlier on by the other characters. (I can’t say much about Snowfall as I don’t remember that much from book 14 despite her raging racism from a literal crown). Sometimes characters feel too nice and other times characters have to be soulless pricks with no motives.
The ‘being mad at NightWings’ and ‘being mad at the HiveWings’ thing still pissed me off, and so does the HiveWing’s relation to Clearsight.
(Oh and I forgot to mention that Sundew did suggest to wipe out the whole HiveWing tribe so I can see why Cricket was mad at her lol—but Cricket never shows much care toward enslave SilkWings so that says something about how use the HiveWings are to using SilkWings as pretty portraits and for doing their labor everyday.)
Oh but I do agree, I think there are at least SOME morally gray characters. I can’t say which as.. I actually don’t know which characters. Maybe Tsunami and Queen Ruby.
AND GET THIS? SOME OF THE NIGHTWINGS THOUGHT ABOUT ENSLAVING THE RAINWINGS WHILE TAKING OVER THEIR HOME. NOT ONLY DID WASP MANAGE ON STEALING THE SILKWING AND LEAFWING’S HOME BY DESTROYING IT(I think the SilkWing’s lived in the trees as well)SHE SUCCESSFULLY ENSLAVED A WHOLE FUCKING TRIBE.

@yamilalundy9661
So I didn’t necessarily know which Clone Sonic design to draw so I just did my Clone Sonic designs(—new and old—) and the Clone Sonic deigns from Sonic Misael FNAS’s Rockclones—If that’s okay?

(Update 11/18/24: On second thought… no. I might only keep the design difference idea for Glory only. I don’t think keeping two different design ideas will do me any good. I’m uh.. quite picky when it comes to character pallets and their pattern designs and so I might constantly change from one thing to the next. I think it’s best if I only keep the design differences between one character. And honestly I prefer working with designs I like. Don’t ask why it’s Glory—maybe I like both of her designs idk.)
(Click for full image)
DoD AU design update lol
Just want to keep them both different
I want to identify exactly which is which
(There’s a chance that the canon DoD pattern design will change(all but Clay and Glory—and perhaps Starflight))
