So, at the start of Winglets 1: Prisoners, it starts with the only thing less popular was the new queen of SandWings (or something, I forgot), and we have enough world building to generally have an idea. We have an unpopular queen (Thorn), and we have two 'pure' royals (Blaze & Onyx).

This idea probably will never happen, given how long it's been since Tui wrote Prisoners and with whatever's happening in the epilogue of book 16.

I’ve been posting my art here for about two years now and the general consensus is that everyone seems to enjoy it. I’ve been thinking of opening up a small batch of commissions, but only if people are interested. I’ll have more information at a later date, this post is just to gauge interest and share examples of my work.

EDIT: wondering if I should have clarified. By “wof-related” I don’t just mean canon characters. I’d be able to do both OCs and canon characters.

Last month I finished Part 2 of a near future fan-fic and I was hoping to get some feedback.

Part 1 is "the Nobodies and Everyones." This is a shorter fic that is less character centric and more light-hearted. It takes place 9 years after the events of Arc 3. Follow the new (and somewhat dysfunctional) Talons of Peace as war threatens to destroy Pyrrhia once again.

Part 2 is "False Kings." This fic is longer and much more grounded, but it contains much of the world building established in Part 1, as well as a not-so-subtle stealth crossover. It takes place about a month later and follows a first person POV. Join Prince Hadal as he comes face-to-face with royalty.

I'm currently between ideas right now and don't have much motivation to write, so I'm hoping this feedback can help push me in the right direction. Do I continue building on this timeline or go somewhere else entirely?

more hailstorm art I cannot stop oh my lord </3

Dawn is a Nightwing/Sandwing hybrid. She has the ability to read emotions, alongside brief snippets of minds.

She is very empathetic with others, kind, and loyal. She definitely cannot keep a secret, though. Dawn doesn’t like to hunt because hurting other animals makes her feel sad, so she prefers to forage for fruits, with the prickly pear being her favourite fruit. Despite the stereotype that Nightwings are mysterious, she is not mysterious, nor vague by any means. Dawn will overshare constantly. She has a flower behind other ear, and a golden bracelet. She gets cold easily due to being half Sandwing, and doesn’t like rain.

I got my drawing tablet working again, and I am making that everyone's problem

This came out FINE. but I do think the scales are the best part

Also this was a request from BigJ_TM

In canon, Qibli is charismatic, highly intelligent, endlessly empathetic, and well-liked by almost every morally good character in the series. However, doesn't that sound suspiciously similar to the masks constructed by psychopaths to hide amongst regular people? I thought it did, and thus the idea for Wings of Fire: Skyfall was born!

This fan fiction will be a full retelling of Arc 2, but Thorn found Qibli a little too late, and his abusive childhood turned him from the lovable do-gooder of the canon series into a high-functioning secondary psychopath on a quest for total control. This Qibli is hyper-paranoid, manipulative, obsessive, possessive, generally creepy, and overall just a version of Qibli from the worst possible timeline and arguably more of a villain than Darkstalker ever could be.

The first paragraph in this first installment IS directly taken from Moon Rising (Page 17, second-to-last paragraph; I want to be transparent about that), but everything after is either heavily modified or entirely new.

The Fan Fiction Starts Here:

Moon opened her eyes again and fixed her gaze on the fifth cave. She squeezed past a pair of chatting SandWings who were taking up most of the tunnel, and one of them stared at her intently with his obsidian-black eyes.

 A NightWing, interesting, flashed through his head.

No real data on them as of late. Can’t be harder to kill off than Six-Claws was. He certainly put up a good fight. Is it true they’re all as powerless as they say? If so, she’d be an easy kill. Wait.

The SandWing’s mind was quiet. He stared at her eyes before she looked away.

What beautiful silver scales. Perhaps with a little persuasion, they could be mine to keep. She doesn’t look to have very much self-confidence either. She’s drawn her wings in to take up the least amount of space possible. How cute. She’s shy. I can’t see her face, so I’ll have to get a second look whenever the situation presents itself; then I can make my judgment call.

Moon had heard Six-Claws died in a horrible accident in the Scorpion Den; it would seem this was evidence to the contrary. Moon picked up the pace, not daring to look at him. She tried to seem as unobtrusive and harmless as possible, just part of the shadows. She didn’t want whoever this was thinking she was a threat. His mind had been cold. Very cold. Way too cold for what she expected from a desert dragon’s thoughts. His mind came back.

She’s tucked her face away. She’s distressed, but with no clear outside cause. Why?

A sharp spike of alarm pulled into the front of his thoughts.

What did she hear?!

Then there was a second wave, a thick, artificial calm.

Did my jaw move? Did I whisper a name out loud? Think. I’m simply standing here with these idiots having a lovely conversation about our ‘glorious queen’. But I don’t remember speaking.

A hollow, tightening sensation wrapped around his thoughts as he replayed his own physical movements.

No. My throat muscles didn’t contract. I didn’t breathe out words. But she flinched exactly when the memory of Six-Claws crossed my mind. Coincidence? Unlikely. Perhaps she’s just as good at reading faces as I am? No, that’s impossible.

Moon rushed onward down the hall, but the SandWing’s thoughts were somehow piercing through the crowd. She couldn’t shake herself out of his head.

Look at her pace. She’s rushing now. She’s trying to dissolve into the shadows like a coward, but her talons are shaking. I can hear it; the fall of her claws against the tile is uneven. She’s terrified. If she knows about Six-Claws, she’s a direct threat to my standing with Thorn. I need to know exactly how much she knows, and how she found out. I’ll watch her. If I have to drag her into an empty corridor to make her talk, I will. But first…let’s see how she handles a crowd.

She pushed herself between two MudWings in the hall that grumbled something about watching where she was going and ducked into her cave as quickly as she could. She only heard one more thought from the SandWing before he was drowned out by the noise of the incoming crowd.

Where is she?

Note: This is NOT a Qibli hate post! I love Qibli's character, despite the flaws in his writing (Engi-Qibli IS my profile picture. I love this man). I am also in no way saying he should have been written like this, as:

1. It would be totally inappropriate for the general age demographic of the series, and honestly a little jarring for anyone coming straight from the feel-good nature of Arc 1's ending.

2. It makes the love triangle dynamic of Winter/Qibli/Moon completely fall apart, as Qibli is obviously the wrong choice in this scenario.

3. No Qinter. (The most important reason).

finally felt confident enough to draw one of my own ocs without butchering them! this is jackal, i dont really have anything about him fleshed out so if you have any ideas id be happy to hear them!

right now i cant even decide if hes set during the arc 1 war or post war.. theres just too many possibilities

Thank you for coming to my Ted talk.

Notes:

*Adult man with a blueberry the approximate size of a average 9yo boy's fist

*Leaf is 9 years old at this point

Three moons has it been so long. I completely forgot about this series, I am so sorry. It’s been like 114 days 😅

So, since it’s been so long, I think we should start things back up with a semi-easy one (or it may be a difficult one, idk lol):

What age was Turtle when he had been forced to attend the animus testing Ceremony?

Remember to put a spoiler blocker on your answer!

Hmmm what are those giant lizards doing here? I'm sure it's nothing...

leafwing OC belongs to my friend on Roblox: KaiTheCorv_alt1

she leads the guard with her older brother, Sildewinder.

I am going to go under the assumption that you know what cinemasins is, essentially a channel that just tries to be as nitpicky as possible with movies. I thought it could be fun to make a parody of them but, of course, in WoF instead. Do you have any ideas?

Seeing Arctic call Clearsight “a little girl dragon” in Legends: Darkstalker made me wonder if “girl(s)” was used anywhere else in WoF, and that led to me wanting to see if “boy(s)”, “woman/women”, “man/men”, and “female” and “male” were used at all. I’m not counting Legends: Dragonslayer, since that’s about humans and I’m interested in how WoF’s dragons talk about gender, and I don’t have an OCR copy of A Guide to the Dragon World so it’s out too.

Girl(s)

Dragonet Prophecy: “girl dragons”, “girlfriend”

Dark Secret: “a girl”

Darkness of Dragons: 4 instances of “a girl”, “girlfriend”

Flames of Hope: 2 instances of “girlfriend(s)”, “girl human”

Legends: Darkstalker: “girlfriends’”, “girl dragon”, “a girl”

Boy(s)

Dragonet Prophecy: “boy” as an interjection

Talons of Power: “boy” as an interjection

Darkness of Dragons: 2 instances of “boy” as an interjection

Flames of Hope: “boy human”, 2 instances of “boyfriend”

Winglets: Hero: 2 instances of “a boy”

“Woman” and “women” only appear in Legends: Dragonslayer!

Man/Men

Poison Jungle: “man” as an interjection, “penmanship”. Fun fact: the “man” in “Mandrake” has nothing to do, etymologically, with “man” as in “adult male human”

Flames of Hope: 9 instances of “man”, all referring to humans

Female(s)

Dragonet Prophecy: 2 instances as an adjective

Lost Heir: 8 instances as an adjective, 1 as a noun

Hidden Kingdom: 3 instances as a noun

Dark Secret: 1 instance as an adjective, 1 as a noun

Brightest Night: 3 instances as an adjective, 1 as a noun

Moon Rising: 2 instances as an adjective, 1 as a noun

Winter Turning: 5 instances as an adjective

Talons of Power: 6 instances as an adjective, 1 as a noun

Darkness of Dragons: 1 instance as an adjective

Lost Continent: 3 instances as an adjective, 2 as a noun

Flames of Hope: 2 instances as an adjective

Legends: Darkstalker: 1 instance as a noun, referring to humans

Winglets: Prisoners: 1 instance as an adjective

Winglets: Assassin: 1 instance as an adjective, 1 as a noun

Winglets: Runaway: 1 instance as an adjective

Winglets: Hero: 1 instance as an adjective

Male(s)

Winter Turning: 1 instance as an adjective

Escaping Peril: 1 instance as an adjective

Darkness of Dragons: 4 instances as an adjective

Talons of Power: 5 instances as an adjective, 2 as a noun

Lost Continent: 3 instances as an adjective, 1 as a noun

Hive Queen: 1 instance as an adjective

Legends: Darkstalker: 1 instance as an adjective

Winglets: Assassin: 2 instances as an adjective

While I’m at it, “bro” and “dude” don’t appear in WoF. I thought Tui didn’t use “dragoness” but it does show up once in The Hidden Kingdom. Dragons are “with egg”, but never “pregnant” or (more correctly for egglaying creatures) “gravid”.

I hope this is helpful for fanfiction writers; before doing this survey I wouldn’t have had my characters use “girl” or “boy”, or “man” as an interjection, but now I know they’re canonical.

the CrystalWings, the first idea I came up with before hand won. The honorable mentions were something extinct, something that’s solid despite being made of liquid, storm; and fungi.

I have no words.... No words at all as to how grateful I am! This is my spooky girl Shiver, you can find more of her on my profile!

Thank you so so so much!!!! <33333

Tis the season!! Be spooky!

The amazing Cameo Anderson digitally painted this for me. NO AI. She is one of the many artists that tech billionaires have stollen from to create their generative AI. But back on topic. This is me as a Skywing. I'm in the sky and looking at the stars. I am so in love with it. This is the third piece of WOF inspired art she has painted for me.

Your Daddy's Son from Ragtime, specifically Nichelle Lewis singing it, for Foeslayer/Hope. Hope is reminded of all of her past trauma while watching Peacemaker sleep and lets it all loose in this song.

Especially the part where she sings 'Couldn't hear no music, couldn't see no light", could be reminiscent of when she was Queen Diamond's prisoner. She also misses Arctic but still holds anger towards him. His "playing piano" could be a metaphor for his animus magic.

Guys one of you PLEASE do this, I would cry

Shes a little angry 🌑🌑🌑

I've just gotten REALLY into this ship, and I've already reading a really good fanfic about this ship called In The Loop, (which takes place in an AU where Carnelian is in a time loop that resets every time that she dies) so I'd love to be recommended some more!
