“You wanted to control this world, that’s fine. But I’m going to destroy it first, so you can’t.”

"this is not a challenge, its a tragedy."

I’m relatively neutral. It’s constantly changing and i don’t know how to feel about that.

Calling all artists !!!

RB for sample size maybe? I’m very curious.

Could also apply to writers!

i love you

i love you autistics with caretakers

i love you autistics who need caretakers but don’t have them

i love you autistics whose motor control is too poor to feed yourself without assistance

i love you autistics with poor facial control and poor volume regulation and poor tone management

i love you autistics with terrible interoception

i love you autistics who stim in “gross”/“weird” ways

i love you autistics with loud and disruptive stims

i love you nonverbal/nonspeaking autistics

i love you unreliably speaking autistics

i love you autistics who have verbal shutdowns

i love you unpredictable autistics

i love you autistics who society pities and infantilizes

you are not a tragedy.

here’s the evolution tree for reference! Also explains why Mudwings look so much like SeaWings*

*none of these are to scale

sorry these are so late! Here’s a Viperwing and a Flamewing with a bonus Skywing!

edit: the Viperwing is NOT a Sandwing, it’s an early ancestor of them, same with Flamewings vs Skywings

I Hear Him Scream is SUCH an amazing fanfic!! If you like that, I recommend Innocent Hopes, Twisted Realities (Link: https://m.fanfiction.net/s/13085578/1/Innocent-Hopes-Twisted-Realities )

reblog if you’ve read fanfictions that are more professional, better written than some actual novels. I’m trying to see something

Moved on to Venom! (Pardon the sudden style change, I swear my style changes every time I pick up the stylus…)

Last Tribe A Day run cycle was today so I decided to combine them all to show the differences!

[ID: Seven sketchy animated run cycles, all of the original dragon tribes from Wings of Fire. They alternate sides as they go down, starting with the top one on the left and the second on the right, and so on. The background is a blank white. Each dragon has shaded limbs to help see the differences while in movement. The right wing is the darkest shade, followed by the left wing (closest to the screen), the the right legs are the lightest shaded. Descriptions are in order from top to bottom:

Mudwing: Drawn in a dark red. The thickest dragon by far, opening is mouth in a smile as its front legs hit the ground. Its large wings have four toes as if they were a third set of talons, which is used as another set of legs while running. The wings lift off after the back legs. The entire body bobs with its weight while it runs, lunging with its back legs. One of its back legs disappears while it runs (oopsies) and its large tail flicks with the run.

Skywing: Drawn in a darker red. Much skinnier dragon with longer limbs and larger wings. Its large wings remain slight open above its border, slightly bobbing as it moves. The body itself doesn’t move up and down, instead just twisting with movement of its limbs. Its tail is a little stiff, again just moving up and down. As it runs, one foot touches and leaves the ground at a time.

Icewing: Drawn in a dark blue. Its body and shape is ridgid, its head swooping up and down like it lunges with every time its front talons land. Again, its wings are used as a third pair of legs, however they are mostly used after the other limbs are mid-air. Its talons are visibly sharper, as well as its wings. Sharp spines on the back of its neck and end of its tail are visible as well, which bobs with the movement.

Seawing: Drawn in a dark blue. A thicker, long dragon with short but thick limbs and webbed frills along its spine and sternum. It’s thick tail continues the up and down curve it’s body makes with every move, flicking the end of the frills as it does. Its wings are semi open above its body, bobbing with the running movement and tilting up and down as its spine curves.

Sandwing: Drawn in a warm brown. Long limbs but thicker than skywing. All four feet lift of the air when they’re closest during the run, each foot hitting the ground one at a time. It’s barbed scorpion-like tail bobs up and down at the end. Its wings are folded and stuff near its shoulders, tilted diagonally. A solid frill lines its spine, biggest at the back of its neck and above the back legs.

Nightwing: Drawn in a dark purple grey, and by far the stiffest run cycle. Thick body with short but thinner legs than mudwings or seawings. Spikes line the spine all along its body, longest at the back of the neck and back of the body. Its wings are held stiffly and slightly folded over its body. Other than the legs and tail, most of the nightwing barely moves as it runs, and its legs hit the ground in pairs, front legs then back legs. They don’t even cross between each other at the closest part in the run. Its mouth opens and closes as it runs, not in any particular expression, I was just bored.

Rainwing: Drawn in a muted dark green. By far the bounciest run. It has a thin body and a head I accidentally drew a little big. It’s three-toed wings are used as a third pair of legs, used most right before it’s front legs hit the ground. Its front legs hit the ground at the same time, however the back legs hit and leave together. Its tail is by far the longest, curled at the end and slightly unraveling as it flicks up and down. Beneath the curved horns is a frill with two connections that slight opens and closes with the movement. It’s grin also opens and closes with the movement.

Another moonjou shipper!!! Do you have any headcanons for them :3 I hc they stay up stargazing and talking about the most random bs and Kinkajou loves when Moon treats her thought experiments with utmost gravity and breaks down every possible aspect of a hypothetical question ("would you love me if I was a scavenger?" "Of course, you'd have a cage to rival them all!") Even if she doesn't always understand. I also hc Moon writes surprisingly poetic stuff/puzzle poems/riddles for Kinkajou that tests her reading skills :D

OMG the puzzle idea is soooo cute its knocking me out 😭🩷🩷!!! to follow up on your stargazing idea -

this ties in a lot to how i just head cannon rainwing culture? i think they value community music and dancing A LOT. think of the Beautiful Creatures scene form Rio 2 (very expected of me hihihi)

i imagine Kinkajou dragging Moon by the talons into the canopies to dance mid flight! they also paint, decorate and preen eachother<3
