I FINISHED IT!! Here are my silly opinions for the silly dragon series 🥰 Character names, explanations, and template below the cut:
★ Favorite character: Clay
Clay has been my favorite character since I read his book!! I think his character goes a lot deeper than how some of the fandom treats him (his character arc is amazing), and he's also just a really nice guy.
★ Liked by everyone but me: Queen Ruby
I have no idea why I don't like her 😭 I think the way she treated Peril just kind of pissed me off when I was a kid, and I've never been able to shake the grudge. It's not her, it's me. I almost put Bumblebee here instead (I can't fault her for acting her age, but her screaming can get tiresome).
★ Didn't like at first: Fatespeaker
I considered putting Glory here, but I only started to hate her when that was the popular thing to do (I'm back to liking her now). I IMMEDIATELY didn't like Fatespeaker... Probably because I was rooting for Sunny x Starflight at the time 😬 I PROMISE I'm not like that anymore, I was, like, nine. I've come to value Fatespeaker a lot more; her character is surprisingly interesting to pick apart.
★ Would like to know more about: Hailstorm
There's so many characters I want to know more about!! Gill!! Tau!! Riptide!! Moray!! Osprey!! Sora!! Literally any MudWing character!!! But I went with Hailstorm. I adore the cool, supportive big brother energy he radiates, and seeing him trying to fit back into IceWing society (and maybe go through a teensy identity crisis) would be interesting.
★ Least favorite character: Sky
Honestly, I don't really have a least favorite character...? There's Whirlpool, of course, but that's too easy. I ended up choosing Sky 🤷♀️ I liked him in Dragonslayer, but he annoyed me in The Flames of Hope. I feel like he became a lot louder and more brash.
★ Like the design, dislike the character: Vulture
His dragon skull tattoos and the gimmick for them is so sick?? Why is this grandpa more stylish than me and everyone I know??? His design is great, but everything to do with him and his crime ring just felt a little out of nowhere to me. It's been a while since I've read Darkness of Dragons, so maybe I'm just not remembering everything? But yeah.
★ Like the character, dislike the design: Luna
I like Luna!! And I like how she looks on her book cover, too (the rendering on her is drop-dead GORGEOUS). But the rest of her appearances in canon art... ehh.
These shades of green are making me feel things. And the spots on her wings look kind of awkward to me.
★ Favorite ship: Jambu x Pineapple
I was really close to putting Clay x Peril here because of how OBSESSED I was with them as a kid (shout-out to the Demons Peril PMV by Echosplash Animations that saved my life); however, Jambu x Pineapple is the only ship in the series that got me kicking my feet. The flashback to them cuddling in the hammock melted my heart 💖 Luna x Swordtail, Tamarin x Anemone, and Mangrove x Orchid are also my beloved. Honestly, though, I'm not that involved with shipping anymore.
★ Would never befriend IRL: Sundew
I like Sundew as a fictional character, but I would be slightly scared of her if she was real. She probably wouldn't like me.
★ Would befriend IRL: Umber
He just seems chill. I don't think he'd prod me to do stuff or talk, and I like people like that... People who can just let you exist. I feel like he'd tolerate my cringey humor, too.
★ Similar personality: Clearsight
I am NOWHERE near as girlboss as her, but I can relate to constantly worrying about future situations that may or may not happen 😁😁
★ Least favorite ship: Burn x Scarlet
Sorry toxic yuri ☹️ I just don't ship Burn with anyone.

Oh also I made this AGESSS ago and always wanted to finish it but now idgaf and it’s pretty cute so
“Don't you think thump is a terrible word? I mean, that's what most dragons would say our hearts are doing, but it doesn't feel thumpy to me. Pulse doesn't seem right either. Beat sounds too violent. It's not quite tapping. There should be a better word for this.”

[ID: Multiple digital bust drawings of Blue, Cricket, Sundew, Swordtail, Luna, and Wasp from Wings of Fire. Each bust is labeled with their name. Blue is cyan with a darker blue snout and horns, with pale green antennae. The larger antenna has an eye-like marking on it. Blue's cheek and neck are covered in thick white fur that bunches up close to his head. His eye is black with a reddish-orange ring as an iris. Cricket is a warm gold with a brown and orange neck. Along with her HiveWing stripes she has groups of spots along her neck, as well as a single one on her cheek that is meant to look like doll blush. She is looking forward with a wide smile. Above her eye is one long antenna. Her eye is black with a red ring. Sundew is a dark leaf green with a cream and yellow underbelly, and dark horns with a bright red stripe. The "spines" on the back of her neck look like leaves. She has a furrowed brow and a deep frown. Swordtail is a bright blue with an orange jaw and stripe over his eye. His snout and fluffy cheeks are a pale cream. He has a single antenna pointing backwards like his horn. His eye is black with a yellow ring. He has a bright smile on his face and a raised brow. Luna is a pale caterpillar green with a warm purple snout and horn each with a yellow stripe. Her antennae fade to a lighter color and have a stripe running down their center. She has similar fluff to her brother Blue but it's much more smooth. Her eye is black with a yellow ring. She looks ahead with determination. Wasp is gold, orange, and a dull purplish-blue with a black stripe running from under her eyes down her throat. The spines along her back are gold. She has multiple antenna: one above her eye, and two sticking out of her chin. She looks down with fury, her mouth wide open to show her teeth. Her eye is black with multiple green rings and a thin pupil. End ID]
