DEATHBRINGER??? OF ALL DRAGONS??? NOT EVEN LIKE FOESLAYER OR STRONGWINGS???? 😭😭

so that's what christianparentsreviews was talking about

I've personally always found it weird that Burn was a c@nnibal and everybody just forgets and ignores that. I mean like I get she was already a little kooky with the Weirdling Tower but c@nnibalism??

In book one, when Scarlet shows Glory to Burn, Burn says "Waste of food." and although it states immediately after that that she looked jealous, it does indeed mean that Burn would eat her own species, and she may have possibly already done so with her prisoners.

I think she’s saying that feeding Glory would be a waste of food, not that Scarlet should eat Glory or otherwise it’d be a waste of food.

Jamber!!!!!!

is there a wings of fire community here 😢😢

I love Wings of fire.

No matter how much I criticize this book series, I love it very much. It is dear to my soul. Criticism is just expressing my thoughts on what is wrong, because I want to see these books even better. But the books themselves are really wonderful. They introduce over 200 interesting and multifaceted characters. Even minor characters like Flame, for example, although they received little attention, are still not flat and boring. The world of WoF is actually very interesting and well thought out, although not as much as I would like, but it is still very interesting and gives ground for headcanons and first of all very... creativity. You, wof fans, are wonderful. I love how creative our fandom is. How many wonderful creators are in our fandom. And I love how most fans try to make this fandom a safe and enjoyable place to communicate. Thank you Wings of fire and the fandom.

she's literally me

chat how are we feeling about transfem winter?

One thing about WoF I really love is the variety of female characters and their roles in the books. Like they feel distinctive from each other and their characters and personalities are treated with a lot of respect and care. Like the books certainly don't feel like they're misogynistic or reduce the female characters down to basic stereotypes in order to focus on the cooler, much more developed male characters

If you press the button there is no questions from anyone, nobody refers to your previous self, & no issue is caused beyond learning to be comfortable in your body & choice.

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?

I get SO much overwhelming support on here, discord, and instagram - especially combined. It blows my mind, all the kind people who engage with my characters/story and even read and enjoy it. It’s so unreal. It feels like a dream come true. I can’t express how thankful I am for each and every one of you. Every funny response in hashtags, every comment, every time someone notices smth in my writing, any engagement at all. I’m so sappy and cringe but seriously

I’d love to do some sort of event- maybe for 200 followers here? If yall have suggestions lmk somehow. Either events or something with my ocs yall would wanna see to celebrate

It's ok I'm a southerner and I also have a seething hatred for summer sometimes. The only positive I find is the everpresent greens.

So many southerners are gonna make fun of me but

I f**king hate summer

The flowers? Love. Green trees? Love. The gentle heat of the sun? Hell yeah.

But noooo I'm here up NORTH in WASHINGTON. THE RAINY BlTCH STATE. The grass is dead and brown and all the flowers are already shriveled in the heat (except the exotic species those are thriving). The fruit trees are producing wonderfully all through town but I can't walk to any of them because I get lightheaded and nauseous when out for more than half an hour.

It's only 30°c out here, but the thermometer easily caps out in the sun. That same sun I was just walking under for an hour and a half and now I want to collapse.

I miss winter. The snow is beautiful, and that sharp sting of the cold burns but at the same time it feels so good. You can freeze your room by leaving the windows open and then bundle up under a cocoon of blankets without overheating and watch a movie while everything outside is icy. Walking in a snowy forest at night is ethereal, and you feel like a spirit. Walking in the forest at night in summer and you'll be tripping over trash while trying to avoid people and not get stabbed.

Lamenting rant over I needed to get this out of my system while I cooled down.

Additional WoF hcs

SandWings have a type of adapted webbing between their claws from their common ancestry with SeaWings, to keep them from sinking in the sand.

IceWings also have similar so they can swim and walk on the snow.

MudWings love frogs and will consider it good luck if they see a bullfrog, especially a particularly large one. For this reason, they tend to depict cranes and herons, which eat frogs, as crafty and a little bit evil in their storytelling.

MudWings generally don't eat alligators because of the belief they are related.

SkyWings incorporate eagles into their religious beliefs and believe that they are sacred, like angels or watchful guardian spirits in disguise, and they are Apalled at the prospect of eating one.

Coral loves dolphins so much, she named her daughter Orca. That's not really a headcanon, that's just a thing I just realized lol

SeaWings have a popular dessert they like to make from red kelp, it's like gelatin or pudding. It's especially popular among the lower class dragons.

SkyWings really aren't sure what to do with their war-mutilated veterans, especially the lower class ones. They hate any sort of imperfection, but they also admire the fact that they survived battle at all, so they altogether just try not to think about them. Maybe they even have a closed off section of town where they encourage them to stay. :(

I'm not sure if this happened already but I'm sure Thorn is going to either destroy the weirdling tower and cause riots or she will destroy the building and put the contents into a proper museum to preserve what an awful dragon Burn was

SeaWings have the highest literacy rate next to NightWings. Many IceWings can't read much more than their own names.

SeaWings can be immune to jellyfish venom.

Toys commonly given to dragonets include wooden, clay, or iron figures, dolls made from wood, cloth, or sometimes grass, stuffed animals, wooden practice weapons, dress up jewelry made from glass, and more. Additionally, dragonets, especially in the Kingdom of Sky, are commonly given bones to chew as an equivalent to being given a lollipop.

Dragons regrow their teeth multiple times in their life, as part of the reason they're able to live so long. This comes from their common ancestry with crocodilians.

There is said by RainWings to be a species of eagle in the rainforest that is similar to a harpy eagle, but much bigger, with talons as big as a dragon's. It has been reported to have flown away with dragonets before, and though a very rare occurrence, RainWings tell their dragonets about it partially for their safety and partially to scare them into listening to them. The eagle is probably called something SkyWing related---after one of the queens, perhaps. These predator attacks are one of the only reasons that RainWings still have venom.

As well as flowers, RainWings like to decorate themselves and their homes with brightly colored feathers they find.

NightWings, upon coming to the rainforest, have since introduced RainWings to glass flower vases. Many RainWings love them. They have also introduced them to the concept of cooking fruit to make jam and juicing it and/or fermenting to make tasty drinks

SandWings believe that ravens are a good omen and enjoy leaving scraps of prey out for them. They admire their tendency to clean up what is upsetting and avoided by most. IceWings see them as a symbol of death or a warning and are extremely creeped out by their intelligence.

Despite their love for ravens, SandWings are really annoyed by their obnoxious cousins, crows, and it is not an uncommon sight to see them chasing the birds away with a broomstick

MudWings are delighted whenever they see bluejays or similarly bright colored temperate forst birds, but not for any spiritual reason. They just don't see bright colors often :D

MudWings generally find it extremely disrespectful to pick flowers, especially ones that grow on someone else's property, because brightly colored flowers are not especially common in the swamps. It's quite the culture shock when they meet RainWings who pick every pretty blossom in sight.

Similarly, if a SandWing finds a flower in the desert which is wilting, they are obligated to bring it water.
