You heard of old man yaoi, now get ready for old woman yuri

[image id: Two pictures of a digital fanart of Grandeur and Lady Scarab, the second being a close-up of the first pic. The first pic shows two dragons on profile view sitted and looking at each other. The one on the left, Grandeur, is light purple with pinkish red spots on her body and eye, and has around the face a clamid-like crest of the same pinkish red. Her body is slender and she has three horns on her face resembling a Jackson's chameleon, two on the eyes and one on the snout. Her mouth is open as if she's talking. On the right a yellow and orange dragon, Scarab, with black horizontal stripes going from her back to the underside on her neck and shoulder. Other black stripes create a web pattern on her four red folded wings. Long thin spikes run on her back, while on the head three horns, two branched at the top and one long and curved toward the back on the snout. Four long fangs exit from her lower jaw. She wears glasses and a pearl earring. The second picture is a close-up of their faces mirrored. Blushes are added and a baloon saying "damn she's so hot". End id]

i like to think that after the first arc, Jambu would take Glory on little field trips to teach her about the rainforest, since Glory was there for like a week before she became queen and then she was immediately launched into other problems

edit: yooo part 2 is out go look at it!!

royal gals from arc 1! i used this as a way to further illustrate and explore my fashion headcanons, and i love how these turned out. design notes under the cut!

CORAL: i wanted her to look deceptively kind and bubbly, so i tend to draw her big and round like a whale. two inspiration for her design are king dorephan from breath of the wild and granmamare from ponyo. i give her a big coral crown and pearl jewelry. she has a lot of teardrop shapes bc she's probably sad about a lot of things

GLACIER: my favorite queen <3 i wanted her to look regal and no-nonsense but kind. with the exception of her crown, most of her accessories are very sleek and minimalistic. and of course i had to give her glasses because i'm obsessed with giving dragons glasses. i can't decide if the spikes on that crown are opal or enchanted ice, but the studs are black tourmaline.

SCARLET: the og bad bitch!! i love designs that make her look like the world's scariest, swankiest peacock, and the animated wings design was a huge inspiration here. her face markings are meant to look like a helmet. the mail vest she's wearing here is more for show than protection, an ostentatious piece she wears around the palace rather than something she'd don in battle. this is generally the fit i imagine she would wear to court sessions and arena matches.

MOORHEN: i would love to know more about her tbh. i like the colors i gave her, i think the shades of brown work really well together. the cord around her neck represents her sibs, the knot having four coils to symbolize each of them. she has agate embeds all over her, with the majority on her horns, wings, and wrists/ankles. i imagine she has tattooed wing membranes as well.

GRANDEUR: i wanted to make her look regal and positively ancient, and i think i succeeded well enough. her frill shape vaguely matches glory's, as well as her affinity for orange and gold color accents. the flowers are based on tropical rhododenrons.

BATTLEWINNER: ooo she was fun. basically no opportunity for fashion, as i'm sure anything she'd try to wear would burn or melt in her lava bathtub, but i got to do some fun scarring on her. her snout is all scratched up, one of her horns broke off at some point (i imagine that happened during her throne challenge, and that nightwings spar with their horns like rams or deer. she probably got slammed into a wall or something) and her ears are all kinds of shredded. any water vapor around her face and neck tends to solidify into ice, building up into big sparkly icicles over time.

Grandeur the Rainwing

[Image ID: A digital drawing of an old light purple rainwing dragon named Grandeur from wings of fire. Her large frill and wings are a gradient of red oranges. She has a lighter pink purple underbelly, and a mid toned purple forehead that extends to her nose bridge. Her horns, spikes and talons are a dark purple. Her lips are dry and chapped, with her fangs poking out. She has thick off white eyebrows and dark purple eye bags. She also has a couple moles on her body. There are white spots on her long neck, and her knees. She is sitting with her tail curled to her body and her wings folded. She has a look of disapproval on her face. /.End ID]

Wings of fire au where the nightwings get the rainforest and completely ignore the war

In this au the nightwings wouldn’t have made the prophecy and they would’ve taken the rainforest a few years after the war was declared while everyone was distracted

So it would be from Moonwatcher’s point of view Morrowseer and Secretkeeper raised her

Morrowseer is a girl dad

Let’s just say it took the nightwings a while to get settled in and move everything so the eggs and hatchery were still on the nightwing island

The few eggs that were hatched in the rainforest were unlucky and didn’t hatch on a full moon

But Moonwatcher did

Moonwatcher would describe everyone through their thoughts first she barely brushes over appearances

Some rainwings surrendered and live as servants for the nightwings

Grandeur, Glory, Jambu, and Kinkajou live together wandering around the continent

So when they were camping near the border of the rainforest and mud kingdom Kinkajou decided to explore

Moonwatcher ran into her and Kinkajou would be the first dragon Moonwatcher every described their appearance in detail

Kinkajou stalls or convinces her family to move around the border so she could keep seeing Moonwatcher

After a few meet ups Moonwatcher is convinced to leave the rainforest and see what the world is like

So the thoughts

Moonwatcher describes Morrowseer as having really dark and upsetting thoughts unless he’s around her when he is with Moon he has a lot kinder thoughts since he knows she can read them

Kinkajou’s mind shocks Moon because it’s unlike the rainwing servants she’s seen Kinkajou is bright and happy even after everything that happens

Qibli’s mind reminds Moon of her dad Qibli is suspicious of everyone and has a few dark thoughts and only has nicer thoughts with Sunny, Thorn, and later Winter

Since Moon was raised to not trust Icewings she isn’t suprised by Winter’s thoughts of how much he dislikes her and she wonders why Qibli likes hanging out with him

Moonwatcher can’t read Turtle’s thoughts and she is relived and worried at the same time she knows how Turtle looks at Kinkajou because it’s the same way Moon looks at her

Peril’s thoughts amuse Moon since she is used to the nightwings having rude or violent thoughts but never as loud or dramatic as Peril’s

Now some side characters

Since there wasn’t a prophecy Peril and Sky were raised with Kestrel

I’d like to imagine a friendship or maybe a relationship with Glory and Sky

Glory, Tsunami, and Peril are violence buddies Glory is the only voice of reason

Anemone is sweeter since she had Tsunami there to take the pressure off of her

And Kinkajou at some point bites part of Morrowseer’s ear off don’t ask me how she did it or how she survived but she did

She claims it was just a joke but really it was revenge for him insulting her when Moon and Kinkajou revealed their relationship

[ID: A drawing of a purple RainWing dragon named Queen Grandeur from Wings of Fire. It is a headshot from the shoulders up. She is looking down her nose at the viewer with her long snake-like pink purple-tipped tongue flicking up and down quickly. Her body is pale lilac purple with bright orange spots that have bright yellow centers. She has a pale cream belly that has pale cream stripes extending up into the body. Her sharp nose, head, and cheek horns are dark purple. The horns on her head curl forwards. She has bright purple spikes along the back of her head and above her eyes. She has thin eyebrows peaked in a haughty expression above her sky blue and periwinkle eyes. There are wrinkles round her eyes and face, giving her an aged yet graceful appearance. She has snake-like nostrils and a gold snake earring in her left ear. She also wars a pink flower crown around her horns and green vines with pink flowers around her neck. The background is a bright blue sky with a bright sun causing hallows to form around the dragon. There is bright green foilage in the bottom. /.End ID]

My favorite scene in book 3 is when get to meet Grandeur and she's an absolute beast. I love old sassy ladies, that's why I like Scarab so much too. And she just takes no crap. I think that she did truly care for her tribe but was just so worn down and tired of every other dragon not caring she couldn't cope anymore. Headcannon that she's fought off jaguars to protect dragonets because no one else was willing to.

She also gives great judgmental glares.
