[ID: A drawing of two SeaWing dragons from Wings of Fire facing each other. Tsunami has her back to the viewer and is smirking with her ear tipped forward. She has mostly medium blue scales with dark blue along her spine and snout. Some of her aqua blue bioluminescent face scalers are lit up. She is smirking at Whirpool who floats in front of her. He looks stunned by the audacity of what she is saying in aquatic. His green-yellow scales are lighter on his belly and darker on his back. He has large ears for a SeaWing, which are adorned with several large hooped earrings each. Over his left eye, he has a small golden monocle which is suspended in place by a fine metal chain attached to one earring and one eye brow ring. Between them, in glowing and floating letters, it spells 'Squidface'/ End.]

The scene that made me laugh is when Tsunami learns how to speak Aquatic and the very first thing she learns how to do is basically swear. Headcannon that squidface is the SeaWing swear that functionally means dickhead. Which I think fits Whirlpool well. I tried to make him as oily as possible. His ears normally droop under the weight of all the hoops. But he's so surprised that they're sticking up quite a bit. He also has some big ears for a SeaWing. All the better to put more hoops in. I may do a bit of a redesign at some point and give him gages because that would be sweet.

Love Tsunami. Next up is a scene that made me cry.

#wings of fire #seawing wof #tsunami wof #whirlpool wof #for real though #tsunami just rolling up and swearing in a bad aquatic accent is peak tsunami energy #She definitely gets Riptide to teach her exclusively vulgar language and how to order food and drinks #Then eventually actually learns the full language #Headcannon that there are aquatic accents #there's a 'royal' accent that all the guards and royal family and those who live close to the palace have where they really annunciate #all of their words with very exact flashes and talon signs #There's a deep water accent where they rely more on flashes #There's a shore accent that's a bit more choppy as they don't speak aquatic as much #Maybe a cold water accent and a reef accent?#And seawings with freckles or birthmarks have trouble doing the flashing parts of aquatic #I like to draw Orca with a big ol birth mark over both of her eyes #which made aquatic very hard for her #Some words she said always seemed like she was screaming because of how bright the flashes were #Tsunami has a weird mix of royal with shore and with dry mouth #dry mouth is the slightly insulitng way of saying a dragon who doesn't speak aquatic naturally but has picked it up #Most of them use only talon signs but Rainwings can mimic the flashes #woof that was a lot of tags
