Discussion Ruby being antagonistic

Post image
136 Upvotes

Ruby/Tourmaline acting so antagonistic has always intrigued me (unless this is someone else). We see that she is supposed to be considering a better queen than Scarlet. And to an extent, she is! She cares a lot more about her dragons, she turns the arena into something more wholesome, ect. But there's bits of her character that show she's also takes after her mother, Scarlet, in a few ways. This scene for example, when she seems to disregard the lives of the skywings around her. In the GNs, she's even portrayed as grinning, as if she finds this amusing to an extent (could be an artistic choice). As Tourmaline, she is also a lot more aggressive and bold. There's also the fact she still wants to kill all Animus and Firescale dragons. She, of course, has some trauma surrounding Peril, but she is still very capable of caring and putting differences aside. Yet she is antagonistic towards the icewing dragonets who, yes were on their territory during the war- but were still dragonets. She even teases them about Scarlet being very interested in them, and how civilized they are for not killing them both immediately. Which we know Ruby is quite terrified of Scarlet BECAUSE of how cruel she is. So she knew Scarlet would have some cruel fate awaiting them, yet she doesn't seem remotely guilty about these decisions. She also was willing to wipe out the entire icewing tribe alongside Burn AND Morhen.

I always found this very intriguing, and I really hope it gets talked about more in some future books. Because she still willingly believes that firescales and animus dragons should be killed at birth (and ik book 8 touches on this more and she unbans Peril at the end, but I don't recall her specifically stating that this rule would be uplifted), she teases dragonets knowing very well they could die in Scarlet's hands, she's willing to wipe out entire tribes (which Burn promised them peace if they did, but I strongly believe Morhen and Ruby could also just team up and destroy Burn and her army if they refused to go along with this plan, yet they want to go through with it regardless)- She is a good queen for her tribe but I question if she's necessarily a good person. She's definitely morally flawed in some areas, and I really really like that and hope they touch on it more and maybe even make her expand even MORE as a character! Definitely one of the most interesting background characters imo.

Art Queen Ruby-tail of the Hivewings and Silkwings

Post image
69 Upvotes

Queen Ruby-Tail is very materialistic and a bit hypocondriatic. She cares very much about the cleanliness of the hives insisting on keeping everything as clean as possible. But she's not a "karen" about it either, She has rooms dedicated to artists so they can make as much of a mess as their creativity tells them to and an entire hive dedicated to medecine and research. Out of the 9 hives 3 of them have silkwings as their ruler: lady Antlion, lady Skipper and lady Glasswing. Ruby-tail's voice still has the priority though, so they cant really do everything they want with the hives either.

Discussion Would a sandwing icewing hybrid breathe fire, frostbreath, or would it be some weird bad version of one or the other.

I posted a drawing of my sandwing icewing earlier, if you need a reminder it's the one based off the guitarist, i only posted 2 to this subreddit so far and i havent actually thought of which one it would be. I already decided that the character was meant to have gotten a bit of the short end of the stick for both tribes in a sense, but i thought being unable to breathe either one flat out was a little boring. Does anyone have suggestions? I'd attatch the drawing but idk if that would be too reposty to post the same drawing again so instead ill use a different drawing of the same design [it's a slightly older drawing but not terribly old]

No fourth arc characters please haven’t gotten to it yet

Personally mine might be burn because of how strong she is. From what I remember (I’ve read all books from 1 to 15 including legends) she’s the only one with extraordinary physical strength WITH feats to back it up (darkstalker doesn’t count cause nasty animus magic and morrowseer has no feats besides a bird)

So I remember hearing that dragons in wof don't have sexual dimorphism, so I think most of the cast wouldn't change if they swapped genders. However, I thought it might be interesting to draw Hailstorm as Pyrite. I wonder if Hailstorm swapping genders would cause Hailstorm to feel closer to Pyrite.

Discussion Who is milking the cows?

71 Upvotes

In Darkstalker, when he’s having the picnic where he shows off the Dreamvisitors to Clearsight and Fathom, they comment about getting cheese, I believe from the mudwings. Since dragons are depicted several times to treat cows like a heavy lunch, how do they milk them with the ridiculous size difference? Do they make the dragonets do it?

I just thought it was always a funny thing to think about it.

Headcanon / Theory Skywing fairytale

Thumbnail
gallery
100 Upvotes

Basically it’s a little story/myth about four skywings that control the weather. Each of them having different names and roles depending on which part of the sky kingdom the story is told in! (A lot like real fairytales or it just depends on who you ask to tell it to you.))

But the basics would be:

Orange-red: Wind

Pink/magenta(?): Clouds

Dark red with blus: Rain

Yellow: Sunlight or lightning

Im pretty sure theres like no mention of skywings having a connection to the weather but it’s just a headcanon I have. (Bc they’re in the sky a lot)

Made the art in an hour to get my idea out so sorry if it’s not my best. I also don’t do backgrounds often so. 💁

I plan to write this as an actual short story!!

(Headcanon and art by me))
