I don't get the people dunking on Sunny for being bad daughter tbh. Like, sure she could be better, but that's the thing about CHARACTER FLAWS!?
(All of these points will be disconnected so uh sorry-)
For one, she lived her whole life in a cave with 7 other dragons. 3 being abusive assholes to her. I wouldn't expect them to really teach her about mental health.
Plus, Sunny only knows 2 Night wings who were ever kind to her, Starflight and Fate speaker. Other than that, she just knows the tribe as a lying and dragon kidnapping.
Also, don't forget the fact that her whole personality is hopeful and kind. I would not expect her to find someone as pessimistic as Stonemover enjoyable. It is literally Sunny's foil to show how far hope can get you somewhere, but how little pessimism can get you somewhere (at least, that's how I take it).
And besides, she's still sympathetic towards him. She doesn't directly tell him he's annoying. Hell, she even stays with him for the night. She only leaves because she found a way to stop the war.
Sunny probably made Jade Mountain Academy where he resides because it's big enough for the students. Plus, maybe she did want to see him more, but because running a school is a lot, she has little time.
And did we forget Turtle's book? She was devastated when Stonemover was going to be killed and happy when he got his body back, thinking that he could finally improve his life. She obviously didn't know how bad Darkstalker was, nobody really did.
Sunny is not the best daughter, nobody is. Sure, she should have thought more about the students bothering Stonemover. But she's far from the worst. She's just flawed, shouldn't that be a good thing?

My dreams haven't really been subtle lately.
We should allow mudwings to do this

Unsorted WOF thoughts part 137:
A compilation of The Dragonets being the most diehard group of siblings ever written:
The inciting incident of literally the ENTIRE 15 book series being Glory being threatened with death.
Tsunami stabbing one of the most powerful queens in the world through the tail.
Constantly hyping each other up when one feels insecure.
Clay and Tsunami fighting over who gets to die for the other.
Glory melting a man alive for Clay.
The others joining Tsunami in attacking a random SkyWing, no questions asked.
The others attacking Riptide no questions asked when they thought he was threatening Tsunami.
The others staying with Clay while he was chained to the rock even when the flood was starting to rise around him because they refused to let him be alone.
Tsunami getting her uncle thrown in prison for chaining up Clay.
Starflight not even hesitating to out Blister as Kestrel's killer to protect Tsunami from being outed as Gill's killer.
Glory being ready to kill some RainWings as soon as they seemed to pose a threat to the others.
Clay rushing into the NightWing Kingdom and physically fighting NightWing guards to save Glory after spending his entire life being raised to fear the NightWings.
Sunny chasing her would-be kidnappers across the continent to help out the mission.
Clay taking a dragonbite viper for Sunny.

My name is Abdelmajed Elderawi, and I am writing to you from Gaza, where life has become an unimaginable struggle. Our days are filled with uncertainty, and the hope for a better future feels like a distant dream.
The war has left deep scars on my family and me. Weāve endured the heartbreaking loss of 25 loved onesāeach one a light extinguished too soon. Their absence is a pain I carry every day, and I often find myself lost in memories of the laughter and joy they brought into our lives.
Life in Gaza Today: šĀ Overwhelming Loss:Ā The pain of losing so many family members is impossible to describe. š½ļøĀ Barely Getting By:Ā Even basic necessities like food and water are becoming harder to afford. š Ā No Safe Shelter:Ā Our homes, once our refuge, now feel fragile and unsafe. šĀ Dreams on Hold:Ā The pursuit of education and opportunities has been replaced by the constant fight for survival.
Your Support Gives Us Hope: This isnāt just about financial helpāitās about knowing that someone, somewhere, cares. Your kindness can be a source of strength for us, a reminder that weāre not alone in this fight.
Iām not asking for muchājust a little hope, a little relief, and a chance to keep moving forward. Your generosity, in any form, can make a difference in ways you might not even imagine.
Thank you for taking the time to hear my story. Your kindness means more than words can express.
With heartfelt gratitude, Abdelmajed ā¤ļø
my interpretation of dune's attitude towards the dod is that he was so bummed over his boyfriend leaving him that he forgot to not be violent towards children

qibli & kinkajou are def the type to dress as obscure pop culture references (gay halloween core)
turtle never knows what to go as & always stresses out about it
burn doesn't participate in anything BUT decoration, which she goes all out for
blaze likes to give out candy but no one comes to the stronghold because the dragonets get too scared of burn's decor
scarlet throws really lavish parties each year (probably masquerades) burn's always forced to go & hates every second
a lot of nightwings & icewings dress up as darkstalker & he gets really mad over it
similarly a lot of seawings go as albatross; they're both urban legends (think bloody mary)
onyx is number 1 halloween enthusiast. shows up with a really detailed costume
(modern au) onyx also always has recommendations for what to watch; they're always really obscure horror movies that no one's heard of but they're all traumatized by
i guess the pyrrian equivalent of horror movies would be like. scary stories read aloud on scrolls? idk but onyx would bring a bunch
winter isn't that into halloween (didn't grow up celebrating it) but really enjoys pumpkin carving & usually wins in pumpkin carving contests
turtle gets scared everytime by those jumping spider animatronics without fail
clay is the undisputed champion at bobbing for apples
kinkajou eats like all of her candy in 1 night & always gets sick the next day
qibli will store his candy to "eat it for later" & then forgets about it for like a year
winter gets a little matching costume for bandit
moon dresses up but usually as something simple (like a witch maybe) & reuses it for following years
sunny loves to host halloween parties at jma, partially because she & the rest of the dod never got to celebrate it growing up
qibli & winter once got voted as "cutest couple costume" despite neither of their costumes having anything to do with the other's
glory the type to show up with a "this is my costume" t-shirt
Do You Know This (Non-canon) Autistic Character?
Evidence below the cut!
Moonwatcher is definitely at least autistic-coded, due to Moonās relationship with her physic powers and her interacting with others being similar to and/or relatable for people who have (symptoms of) autism.
A few of these symptoms include Moonwatcher feeling overstimulated and/or overwhelmed from hearing multiple others thoughts and her visions of the future and Moonwatcher having and/or had trouble with socially interacting with others.
Submitter also added:
TW: Ableism
Moonwatcher has a mother - Secretkeeper - who views Moonās powers as a ācurseā and assumes that any dragon who has powers like Moon is miserable from having them. Secretkeeper told Moonwatcher that Moon must hide her powers no matter what or else everyone would either reject or hate Moon for telling others about that part of herself -
Which honestly feels quite similar to a neurotypical mother telling their autistic child that they must hide who they are or else they will not be accepted to other people (A Mom who also possibly even views their kidās autism as a āillnessā too.)
