bro do NOT go to jma at 3am 😭🙏

[quotidianish]

ANOTHER human au art compilation! Here’s the first! More info about the AU and their cultures under cut ~

Groundwork:

-Abilities which stem from things inherent to dragon biology (fire, venom, frostbreath, gills, etc.) aren’t present. More traditionally supernatural gifts (mindreading, oracle, animus magic, etc.) are still present. In retrospect this makes the Nightwings completely op but shhh

-Each tribe is inspired off a mishmash frankenstein of different real-world cultures

-Dragons are an endangered species, just a hum in the background and nearly hunted to extinction. They’re hardly considered a threat, especially when most humans haven’t even seen one in their lives. Once the centre of each people’s culture and civilisation, they’re now nothing more than Bigfoot sightings or exotic pets.

Culture:

-Sandwings are the least homogeneous tribe and take inspiration from various cultures in the Indian subcontinent and Arab nations (most largely India and Palestine). Many subcultures exist within the larger Sandwing kingdom. Common identifies (not present in them all, but there will usually be at least one) include gold accented accessories, darker skin, and clothing with light, desaturated, yellow/orange tones. They’re renowned for their abundance of poison, excellent street food, musical talent, and stereotypically maliciously intelligent. Regardless of class there’s a nation wide pattern (you can find the reference for it by Qibli’s headscarf) symbolising trade routes, oasis waters and dunes. It’s a symbol of national pride (included on thorn’s dress, and ostrich’s headband/headscarf).

-Nightwings are, on the contrary, the most homogeneous tribe due to their small population. They’re based on Japan (spanning multiple eras). I like to think the Nightwings lost a lot of their culture after migrating to the volcano, for they were once the most religious tribe, worshiping the moon alongside the Icewings, which I’ll get to later on their cultural similarities. I promise it’ll make sense. By now, all their deeply religious traditions have been relegated to superstitions. It was said they were blessed by the moons, but the connection has been largely severed. Only old dresses follow the tradition of embroidering in the moons they were born under. Moonwatcher’s dress is something akin to a hand-me-down, as are her silver earrings, it’s by coincidence it lined up with her actual birthday. Moon’s family was an exception because she came from a long line of seers (or alleged seers) who have done their best to preserve a crumbling culture. Common identifiers include near pitch black clothing and skin as pale as the moon. 

-Icewings have some of the largest populations, however, are surprisingly homogenous. Most sub-cultural differences are as a result of class. They’re based on Mongolia and Manchuria. Like Nightwings they are also deeply religious, maintaining their beliefs through rigorous scholarship. Hair has intrinsic religious value as a gift from your family- therefore it cannot be cut. The same goes for ear piercings and any other physical alterations to your body. IceWing jewellery as a result is very distinct because of its lack of need for an ear piercing, hooking around the back of the ear instead. Common identifies include long/braided hair, and light, cool-colored clothing suited for the cold.

-Skywings are loosely Scottish inspired, and I do not have a lot to say about the rest of the tribes. Most of their clothing have feathered accents. The peregrine is a sign of luck and wealth, with their feathers being adorned on the upper classes. Geese and chickens, being common farm animals, are found adorned on working classes. The second richest tribe, employing silver, gold, lazuli, and about any gem they can find in their clothing. Common identifies include curly orange/red hair, taller statures, feathered accents, a tartan like pattern, and clothing ranging from yellow to magenta.

-Seawings are loosely based on various Polynesian cultures, most prominently that of the Māori. The sea has an intrinsic religious value to them, with all children learning to swim, sail, and/or fish. They live off the sea’s resources, rarely consulting the surrounding land for supplies. On rare occasions albatross birds and seagulls are plucked for headdresses. These are reserved for high ranked royalty. Their clothing is loose and well adapted for the warm beach setting. Common identifiers of Seawings include ta moko like tattoos, olive skin, and clothing ranging from lime to purple.

-Rainwings are loosely based on Thai, Indonesian, and Cambodian cultures. They’re colourful and have the second largest poison reserves (bested by sandwings). Having once been a trade centred tribe, now they’re isolationist, albeit not intentionally. They have many history records, almost as detailed as that of Icewings, but the art has been lost to a changing cultural atmosphere. Once too religious, now their intrinsically religious practices are more cultural. Their clothing is similar to sandwings in the fact they cover as much of the body as convenient but remain loose and breezy. Common identifiers include bronze tan skin, vibrant pigmented clothing, and flower motifs. Nightwing villages don’t follow that guideline, they build on the ground as a tribe with a focus on hunting. I’m assuming everything in this universe is made proportional to dragons, hence why the trees are so large. This assumption is based off that specific panel of Bandit in the book six graphic novel eating a blueberry as big as his head. 

-Mudwings are sooo underdeveloped in my au (following in the steps of Tui herself) but they’re based on southern Chinese and Vietnamese cultures! They live in cities akin to Chinese floating villages, Vietnamese floating markets, and Tulou (architectural style of the Chinese Hakka) made of mud bricks. They're a very agricultural based people. Many of their villages are isolated communities- their emphasis on family extending to their towns. Common identifiers include umber skin, straw conical hats, and practical clothing in shades of brown.

Okay gang more hunger games this time WoF edition

So close… SO close…

This one is just a really funny image tbh

I gotta wonder what on EARTH prompted this one

And now the obligatory compilation of Peril being an absolute mess

Oh btw Carnelian won the first game :)

Here’s the summary

[wofpolls]

would we be more interested in Umber and Sora's story after book 6, Icicle's trial/Hailstorm's life in the palace, Tsunami's relationship with Riptide, or Peril and Sky meeting each other?

[kou-katsu]

Which of these should I draw?

[kingdomoftyto]

Genuinely love that Moon's telepathy gives us a front row seat to the entire shimmering spectrum of PTSD the dragonets of Pyrrhia are going through lol

My WoF Arc 4 Theories/Predictions so I can say "I called it" when my time comes

I'll probably be editing this with more later btw

Beryl (he/him, mother of Mulberry) will be a gray area parent. Not great like Ruby or Thorn, but not horrible like Scarlet or Cadelle

Umber and the hybrid prince are gay and dating. Or it could be a slow-burn

The hybrid prince is half Skywing and half Rainwing, makes sense because of the fruit name. Or alternatively Sky-Leafwing!

Peril and Sky meet and they were set up by friends to meet and now they're over sharing with each other and they FINALLY get to the conclusion of "So. I think we're siblings." and Kinkajou or Moon or Snowfall or Lynx pops out of a bush behind them like "YOU FINALLY FIGURED IT OUT. CONGRATS."

Queen Coral gets another husband so she can have new heirs bc let's be honest Tsunami and Anemone aren't that great of candidates for the throne and who knows what Auklet is gonna be like. or maybe she just found a new love, idk <-Not sure if that can happen because there may be a limit as to how many heirs a tribe can have

I forgot the names of the characters but the Silkwing and their Hivewing partner will be on that new island

Also the Leafwing and her Silkwing partner, they will be there too

NEW TRIBE!! The Webclaws, a wingless tribe that they theorize is related to the Silkwings for their web-spinning abilities and they are natives (or at least the oldest dragon tribe) on that new island

More queer characters! yippee!

Less scavengers please (or humans, whatever. I enjoyed Dragonslayer, but no more please. I rlly love the dragons :(( my shaylas)

Chameleon makes a comeback. he is called an "arrogant slime weasel" (he is) and then his papers are taken away from him for good 😌 Sky meets him

Sora!! Sora, my girl, I don't really have any theories for what role she will play, but SORA!! I love her sm

More of Cobra Lily PLEASE I'M BEGGING SHE'S SO ICONIC AND WE ONLY HAD HER FOR 8 SECONDS

If there is a time skip, then I assume that some of the DoD might have their own dragonets (clerilclerilclerilclerilclerilcle)

Starflight and Fatespeaker are official!

Sunny does not get a love interest Tui takes it back, Sunny is aroace 🔪fight me

Also it will be clarified that while Fatespeaker cannot see the future she has a tiny little bit of mind reading capabilities and can mostly sense what others are feeling like intensely :))

tsunami learns aquatic!! tsunami bonds with her brothers!! tsunami appreciates sunny!

moonbli breakup, qinter canon :(( pls they had so much more chemistry. do not put my girl moon into a love triangle! book 10 epilogue isn't real!

More Anemone and Tamarin <3

More Pineapple and Jambu <3

More Snowfall and Lynx <3

Queen Snowfall goes with the main characters to the new island and finds her older sister there with her Mudwing boyfriend

If it's a MAJOR time skip then one of Starflight's nieces or nephews has the gift of prophecy and makes this new prophecy

if not, then it's Moon again my poor girl 😭 she cannot catch a break

Tsunami is NOT an asshole about the prophecy bc she is better and will not complain when Moon (or someone else) has a prophecy that they cannot help. woman up, tsunami.

plot twist: They find something in the old Nightwing kingdom (queendom?) that is related to prophecy business and it was foreseen 2 thousand years ago but it will happen now. maybe left by clearsight? or whiteout, since she foresaw what would happen to Darkstalker ("Only one of us will [see mother], depending on who loses the future.")

Fierceteeth is the new Nightwing queen

New Mudwing queen? I'm just saying Queen Moorhen has been around for a while . . .

Lady Jewel becomes Queen Jewel, Wasp is thrown in a dungeon or killed

New Silkwing queen!! Luna? One of her mothers? Or maybe king? Blue? A Chrysalis leader?

The flamesilks . . . uh . . . where are they again? Are they still in the warehouse or did they escape? That gets clarification

If there is a new tribe, then Moon (or another mind reader) has to try using her (his/their/its) mind reading abilities to see if that will help them communicate with each other bc the new tribe might not speak Dragon

smth smth smth leafspeak is used for communication?

Umber is a linguist?? He learns their language quickly?? He translates?? that's how the romance between him and Mulberry starts???

Or the Hybrid prince is half whatever-Beryl-is and half-the-other-tribe and he translates for everyone (me too bro)

The next main cast is Umber, another Seawing royal brother, Mulberry, someone we've had as a POV before (Snowfall? Peril?), Cliff, a hybrid (heck, maybe even Typhoon? I can't remember if that was her name exactly but the Ice-Seawing, it was smth like Typhoon??) and/or a completely new character (<- basically a guarantee)

The average Rainwing can read!

Peacemaker is a chill guy. Darkstalker is gone forever. please

Hope drops some more lore about the past

Another Mudwing character hatched from a blood-red egg

Honestly I'll just be happy if Clay gets some screen(page?)time

More ghost stories (Not necessarily Animus ghost stories)

Someone with Animus powers, firescales, mind reading, foresight, royal blood, and/or a lack of defense (missing a barbed tail as a Sandwing or not having frost breath as an Icewing for example)

More hybrids!

What happened to the other Talons? I know it had some elaboration but STILL

Beryl himself is a hybrid (of what idk) Edits:

I JUST REREAD DRAGONSLAYER AND I FORGOT IT HAD A CLIFFHANGER. UNDAUNTABLE AND HIS FATHER THE LORD OF WHATEVER MAKE A COMEBACK. NEW VILLAIN?? ANOTHER HUMAN VILLAIN?????

More scavengers like Wren on that new island, a win for the bilinguals!! even if the bilingualism was badly written in Dragonslayer . . .

A romance that's actually well-written

Non-binary dragon

Transgender dragon

One of the main couples break up. for the plot (for drama Feel free to add more in the replies/reblogs/tags!

[ch3micallyinsane]

WoF rarepairs.

PinkLemonade: Cobra Lily x Sunny. I imagine Cobra Lily following Sundew along to visit Tsunami or something, and meeting Sunny. Instant connection, they hit it off. They start sending letters, and eventually dreamvisiting, after Lily leaves. Maybe in a few years if new animi hatch and build a tunnel between Pyrrhia and Pantala they'll have a system where they spend one month in Pantala and one in Pyrrhia, switching monthly.

---

Cyclone: Tsunami x Peril. I want to write about them begrudgingly going on a journey together and going from enemies to friends to lovers. Something I think would be delightful to put them through would be ending up stuck in the Ice Kingdom together, the only way to stop Tsunami from freezing being for her and Peril to sleep beside each other in a lake.

Maybe Tsunami stops hating Peril as much over their quest or whatever, and Peril quickly gets more comfortable around her. Once they both admit to themselves that they're okay with the other dragon and all the beef is over with, I feel like they would be really good friends and then admit they like eachother. Imagine the rest of their friends when they leave hating each other and when they come back Peril is sleeping in the river every night so she can sleep next to her girlfriend without burning her.

---

Snailshell: Sky X Umber. I don't know I just fricking love them so so much. Sky and Wren meet Sora and Umber while they're runnin from the law and Sky helps em out. Maybe it's through Umber they learn about Peril and the twins reunite. Imagine Umber's flustered gay self "i-i-i. uhm. I found you a- a snail...,"

Sky sleeps directly next to Umber, completely ignorant to the fact that he is not feeling platonic feelings and that Umber's heart rate is very dangerous right now

---

Junebug: Kinkajou x Cricket. I hc Kinkajou likes the idea of being romantically loved but feels no romantic attraction herself, likes stereotypically romantic interactions, and is aroace. Cricket is aroflux and is fluid between romantically and and queerplatonically being attracted to Jou.

I fricking love extroverted dumbahh x flustered nerd. Jou has NO IDEA how to flirt but it works on Cricket somehow

They meet in a library when Kinkajou is checking out Pantala because woah new continent I gotta see this

K: "Ooooooh, you kinda look like a banana. But like, a kinda old banana. In a good way."

C: "Oh- uh- uhm- thank you- ~o.0~"

K: "Anyways, why are there "e"s at the end of words if they don't make sounds? That makes NO sense. Explain that! So stupid!"C: "???" Curls up in a flustered ball and cries

Reasons why you should read… Wings of Fire!!

Random LONG-ASS post but idc because this has been my favorite book series since 3rd grade and I still HEAVILY fixate on it - for anyone interested (after I explain ofc) These books are by Tui T. Sutherland and are available in audiobook, paperback, hardcover, and Kindle I think.

Reasons you might enjoy WoF and features of the books!

-creative character designs

-full plot with little to no holes and if there are any, they’re probably explained in one of the MANY side books available.

-well-written characters that can be powerful without being a “Mary Sue” and having their own personalities

-each book follows a different protagonist, sometimes with the protagonist switching up mid-book

-a prologue and epilogue in each book

-15 main books released so far with more coming!!

-STUNNING cover art

-the main characters are dragons!!

-Written like those fanfics where you read them and you forget you’re reading a fanfic but it’s still not quite written like an ‘official’ book, y’know?

-descriptive writing so you don’t have to imagine stuff in weird vague ways

-LOTS OF LGBTQIA+ rep! Including but not limited to: mlm rep, wlw rep, non-binary/non-conforming rep - and the best part about it? It’s casually brought up! It’s normalized! Not even the villains or shitty parents show an OUNCE of homophobia or transphobia!

-There are humans in these books! And POC rep!

-women in leading/strong roles :3

-different continents!

-different tribes of dragons each sharing similar traits depending on their habitat!! NOT JUST RANDOMIZED DRAGONS EVERYWHERE ALL MIXED TOGETHER WHERE YOU DONT EVEN KNOW WHO CAN DO WHAT!!

-Each book features a map of the continent it’s set on, a description of the dragons of each tribe living on that continent (including looks, powers, diet, affiliation in war depending on the book, and current Queen) and a page for the prophecy the book fixates around (different for each arc)

-Three arcs, each solving a different conflict but STILL IN THE SAME PLOT!!

-creepy mind-control stuff!

-well-written villains

-lines that have made me CACKLE out loud multiple times

-TONS OF SIDE BOOKS WITH EXTRA LORE/INFO IN THEM!!

-and so much more! Read them for yourself to find out!!

ALL THE BOOKS IN ORDER PLUS THE NAME, SPECIES AND A PICTURE OF THE PROTAGONIST IN PARENTHESES:

THE DRAGONETS OF DESTINY ARC: 1) The Dragonet Prophecy (Clay of the Mudwings)

2) The Lost Heir (Tsunami of the Seawings)

3) The Hidden Kingdom (Glory of the Rainwings)

4) The Dark Secret (Starflight of the Nightwings)

[fictionkinfessions]

To the dragonets of destiny (excluding clay bc he's me), jade winglet(excludingmy kinsider, qibli), and peril:

Im sorry. I wish I could have protected you more. I don't know what killed me for me to be put here, but I am so, so sorry.

Peril, I don't think I ever loved you back, peril, and I'm so, so sorry to you too. You deserved someone better.

Turtle, you were amazing and did so, so many good things. You are the best for saving anenome. Keep looking out for others.

Winter, you were a stubborn, mean dragon, but a funny and absolutely helpful as hell one. You sacrificed your role in the kingdom and pretended to be dead, which, VERY dangerous, just for your brother, something I'd be too shitty to do for scirocco, even if he was terrible I should've if I could.

Moon, I miss you. I wish I could have taken away your pain from the headaches and just protected you like I did when I was clay. You and the others deserve the world.

Kinkajou, you were absolutely amazing. I mean, your happiness and excited manner was crucial for cheering us up. Fuck chameleon for what he did.

carnelian, even though I only knew you for a short while, you didn't deserve to be exploded. Your undying loyalty to ruby reminds me of mine to thorn, and it's an admirable trait in my opinion.

umber, your sympathy towards moon when her powers were revealed were absolutely appreciated. You were an amazing booster for her, I think. Your kindness towards your mudwing sibs (including me, aka clay) is a great trait, ps from clay: you deserve the world. Thank you for keeping our sibs safe no matter the cost, and forgiving sora. You are the best brother a mudwing could have had.

-🍔👾 (this got emotional)

(Ps: please put a space between: wof kin, clay kin, and qibli kin!! Please and thank you!!!

My art is dipping in quality but I have so much lore for these human cunts in my head. Yes it’s an overdone au but that’s why the concept still has charm.. it’s their scavengersonas. I hold wings of fire humanisations close to my heart I’ve been making them since the fifth grade.

[threemoonwatchers]

Doodle page! From left to right top to bottom: Freedom, Anemone, Tsunami, (credit to @drowninnoodles for the outfit I can’t stop thinking about it on her, shirt says “What have you done to deserve your legs”) Moon (hoodie says “I know the voices in my head aren’t real, but they sure have good ideas” because I looked up funny shirts to use for Qibli later and had to), Scarlet, Sora (I cannot get her hair to look right 🥲), Peril (shirt says “patience: what you have when there are no witnesses” for the same reason as Moon’s hoodie says what it says), Sky (and Wren, who is smol bird until I can draw smol dragons properly), Qibli (shirt says “Do not read!” In large writing, then in smaller writing, “You little rebel. I like you.”) Winter, Kinkajou, and Tamarin.

WoF Arc 4 Predicitons!

I am 90% sure that Sora will be the protagonist of book 16. Additionally, there will be a skywing, leafwing, hivewing, and rainwing protagonist. I think that most of these will be characters that we haven't met before, or maybe have heard of but haven't had a large role so far.

I do not think that Sky will be a protagonist. This is because Tui said that she wants to give a winglet to Peril and Sky, and I think that means that Sky will probably not get his own main series book.

More to come!
