The only two pieces of writing that have ever driven me to actual, full on tears are:

The end of Warriors: Dawn of the Clans and a certain drawn out character death (no spoilers, go read dotc if you haven't already it is either the best or second best wc arc imo)

This one Mastermind fanfic that made me so excited as I got up and ran around my room, bonking my nose against a shelf somehow, which contributed to the tears even more

And that is how Mastermind Wings of Fire almost broke my nose, thank you for coming to my Ted Talk.

I have some wof news to report on! I’m currently attending the North Texas Book Festival!

Might have more later as I’m planning on attending a meet and greet and I have a few questions written but anyways

Next three graphic novels are being worked on at the same time

Darkstalker graphic novel is coming out

Book 16 is confirmed

Sky and peril will meet, and they will realize they are siblings.

One of the original protags will be the pov character again in book 16

So we all know that Tumblr is US-centric. But to what degree? (and can we skew the results of this poll by posting it at a time where they should be asleep?)

Reblog to increase sample size!

Oh my god, you're THE AUTHOR of that one Mastermind x Chameleon fic on ao3! I'm a huge fan of your work, but I don't have an ao3 account, plus they disabled commenting, but I just wanna say that I'm a huge fan! Keep up the good work! Also, though I've personally never really put relations on the island for Stonemover in my headcanons (makes him more sad lonely British orphan coded to me), I personally am *loving* your idea of Stonemover and Mastermind being brothers. Just a worried older brother faced with so much after they found out about his animus magic and how people on the island whispered of his future madness and how he should be avoided, and the younger, nerdier brother who never fit in due to his nerdiness, and the older just wants to look out for the younger... Though I think I recall Mastermind mentioning in your fic that they grew apart? I'm not sure how you envisioned it, but after reading your fic, I really thought about maybe Stonemover returning to the island, only to see Mastermind gaining some success and he has Farsight and Mastermind claims that they're having a dragonet, while he remains convinced that his own romance can never work out, and then that's when Stonemover decides to leave the island, because he thinks that Mastermind no longer needs him? It'll sure be a doozy if they ever reunite. Maybe they'll figure out how to use the telephone? Maybe Sunny and Starflight will suddenly find out about each other's fathers being related? Anyway, sorry for the ramble, but I think that your ideas are really cool!

FIrstly, thank you thank you thank you!! This ask made me so happy to read, I'm so glad you like my stuff!! And now I'm going to ramble back at you because this stuff has been stuck inside my head for so long and I need to get it out!

And about some of what you said-- yes, Mastermind and Stonemover do grow apart, and some of it is some kind of rivalry, but it's also kind of two sided? Like Stonemover is jealous of his brother being able to do just do all this stuff he was never particularly good at, while Mastermind is a bit jealous of Stonemover not seeming to have to try to do things for the tribe since he just has it in his talons (and also he's a bit salty about his brother breaking the laws of physics and sometimes drives himself a little bonkers trying to come up with scientific explanations for feats of animus magic), and they both don't understand why the other seems to be suffering, even though it's the same reason: ludicrous expectations and severe overwork.

Now, about Farsight and Thorn and all that, although it's definitely an interesting angle, I do personally prefer to sideline it just a bit. Like Stonemover knows his brother has a girlfriend, but not much else, and Mastermind thinks it's a bit funny that Stonemover keeps hanging out in the desert, but hey you can see the sun there, and he's not one to judge. They can freak about them both having children around the same age later when they reunite and feel bad for not paying attention to each other and their struggles more.

Oh yeah their reunion! It is, as you put it, a doozy. Provided nothing changes, it should happen in chapter twenty-one of my current longfic. [(Re)Building Bridges, the one "I had a brother once..." was impatiently spun off from.] It takes that long because Stonemover can't really use a phone from where he's stuck to the floor, and Mastermind never told anybody except for Chameleon about his dead brother, and he doesn't tell anybody else about his dead brother (at least not by name), and so nobody realises they're related until M & C end up down at JMA for plot reasons.

So yeah! Mastermind is horrified by the fact that his brother felt the need to turn himself to stone and feels terrible about it, and then he has to tell him about the RainWing experiments and his intense moral failing and every other terrible thing that happened to him after Stonemover left. Then they have a mutual moment of understanding when Stonemover explains how he was forced to do *something* bad with his animus magic (I haven't decided on what yet) that pushed him over the edge and prompted him to leave, although it's really not the same they can still sympathize. There is lots of screaming, and crying, and Mastermind is kind of mad his brother was practically left to die in a cave after doing this to himself even after others fell out because somebody needs to be, and they find a way to keep in touch and promise they won't ever fall apart or resent each other ever again.

Meanwhile everybody else, who were preoccupied in the plot reasons, is confused as all hell as to why those two (Mastermind especially) are acting that way and Chameleon is like "oh yeah that's his dead brother" and then everybody else freaks out but differently because 1. even though there's no classes right now, they had a bit of a situation going on in their school 2. two of them just got surprise cousin'd 3. oh yeah also this weird green rainwing is here too 4. they still have plot reasons to deal with and finally 5. oh moons there are way too many things going on at once!! It's a whole situation, but the brothers reunite and they stop crying eventually and it's fine. :)

So yeah thanks for the ask, I'm glad you liked my work, and sorry for rambling a poorly formatted essay at you lol. <3

hey! saw you're requests were open, so here are my ocs!

Here's my SandWing scout, Coatimundi:

My heavily-headcanoned-up version of Clearsight's father, Esoteric:

(and a version of him with his cloak)

and my IceWing gal, Wolf!:

no pressure on drawing all of them! draw whoever you'd like!! :D

I ended up going with Esoteric, it's always fun to see interpretations of barely mentioned background characters, especially one with such a loaded concept like Clearsight's father.

I did mess with the colours just a bit, hope you don't mind!!

[wings-of-waffles]

I will always draw starflight with alot of burn scars on his face and chest since I always found the volcano eruption being too bright thing the graphic novel did as fucking stupid and just another case of censoring scars in media just because it's "for kids"

Unsorted WOF thoughts part 13:

A list of things that Chameleon stumbled his way ass-backwards into finding:

Darkstalker's talisman

The Talons of Peace

Queen Scarlet in exile

His own long-lost daughter, twice, without her even realizing

Vulture, right before he planned on attempting a coup against Thorn

The lost city of night

To Peril-- has anybody ever used you to cook food, like a campfire? If so, how do you feel about it?

“Sometimes when Turtle and Kinakjou go on little dates, they invite me along as a sorta 3rd wheel. And sometimes they use me as a campfire. I don’t mind.” -Peril

I take my whiskey neat…

I sat down with an idea, roughly 3 hours later…

[wings-of-waffles]

did somebody actually make a post about the rabbit mother and random tiger from the bus in zootopia having a slow burn friendship and/or romance or did i just make that up???

could've sworn I saw SOMETHING about that.

[wings-of-waffles]

Chapter Three is up!! (read from the start here.) It's not showing up at the top of the fandom page on ao3 yet even though it should be and I don't know why but oh well, maybe I'm just being impatient </3

(edit: it's showing up properly now, I was, in fact, just being impatient lol)
