hello beloveds ☺️

[birbmonster]

I love it when people try to claim representation in fiction is being taken “too far” to the point where it’s no believable. They’re like: 

“What’s next, a mixed-race immigrant on the autism spectrum?” Hi, my name is Rachel, also known as Rachna, and I’m a mixed-race immigrant on the autism spectrum. 

“What’s next, a transgender Latino man with chronic pain?” What, you mean my former colleague, Marco? 

“What’s next, a Black Jewish lesbian?” Bitch, I know I three Black Jewish lesbians, WHAT’S YOUR FUCKING POINT?

Hello, I come from the MSM wiki! I won't give away who I am though, though I am Anonymous ;]

Can you tell me more about how Seasonals work in your AU? You described them as mythical creatures, does that imply they don't actually exist?

And if they are mythical, what about the Mythicals??

Some believe in different Seaonals, some don't. Sometimes, there's no evidence at all- but sometimes there are little holiday miracles that happen, that simply cannot be explained in any other way.

___

The Mythical class is certainly real. The species have their own communities mostly seperated from the rest of society. I'm working on a longer post that explores them in more depth.

Send me msm asks!

Ok so I already mentioned it in a response to someone’s reblog, but… I’d like it if y’all sent me some msm asks…

-About my worldbuilding (everything in my older lore posts is outdated btw) or OC lore

-Suggestions of monsters to draw! (Not doing Celestials just yet- I have bigger plans for them)

Happy Feastember!

Artist’s notes:

I like to picture the seasonals less as monsters that simply exist amongst the others, but as more mythological figures linked to their seasonal event. This depiction would have been made by someone living on Fire Haven.

I looked up a lot of medieval art as inspiration for the style.

I like treating the islands as someting close to Earth's countries in my own version of the lore. The flag that Gobbleygourd holds in this image is the flag of Fire Haven (who could've guessed)

In it's other talon it holds a fire bush. Now this funky lookin' plant's in-game description is, in my honest opinion, stupid, so I want to do something new with it. I imagine that fire bushes are adapted to grow in extremely high temperatures, and therefore can be found growing in paticularly hot regions of Fire Haven. It's a very culturally important plant there, being a staple of the island's diet. When eaten raw, it's mind-bogglingly spicy, but chefs have learned how to process this and reduce it from mouth explodes spicy, to normal very spicy.

You might notice something strange about the Monstrous text, and that's because it's not the normal Monstrous languege seen in-game. This is my conlang, where I've been making Monstrous into a 'proper' languege seperate from English. Now, I also believe different regions of the Torus would have different langueges (feels more realistic to me), so ideally, this text would be in Firish, rather than Natural Monstrous... but I haven't conlanged that one yet.

[Wings of Fire] Headcanon for every dragon character (a-b)

Hello! I started this thing a while ago where I created a headcanon for every Wings of Fire dragon. Right now, I'm just starting the J's, so I decided that I wanted to share some of them. Today I'm going to share my headcanons for characters with names that start with A and B.

As

Abalone - was a childhood friend of Gill; the two had a relationship with each other before Gill married Coral, but there were still always feelings between them which Gill felt guilty over. He eventually married Pearl (the member of the SeaWing council) and their son is Barracuda.

Addax - before the war, he owned a cattle farm where he lived with his family, he was a lot more friendly back then; after he got his family back, they returned to the farm where they live to this day. Arid is his daughter, but after she left for JMA, he had more dragonets.

Admiral - after TFoH, Admiral traveled the continent trying to recover from the conditioning of the flamesilk caverns. He eventually settled down in the LeafSilk Kingdom where he used his flamesilk to help the tribe.

Agave - Agave thought she had a crush on Palm when they were dragonets, but always had to hide it because Plam loved Smolder. Later, she learned that she didn't have feelings for Palm, confusing her care for Palm as a friend for romantic feelings. She would tell Palm to break up with Smolder as every solution to a problem in their relationship.

Alba - Alba loves hunting and used to work in her parents' animal skin shop before she was sent to JMA, making her a master of creating woven articles. At JMA, she taught other dragons how to use animal skin and even started a club for the activity. She and Changbai started dating after meeting at JMA.

Albatross - before Lagoon became queen, Albatross and Lagoon's mother, Queen Monsoon, was very careful with Albatross's magic and he rarely ever had to use it. This made it especially difficult when Lagoon became queen and demanded that Albatross use it for her.

Allknowing - Allknowing and Vigilance were friends as dragonets, Allknowing being the younger of the two. Vigilance was aware that Allknowing wasn't the strongest seer in the kingdom, but was biased as Allknowing was her friend, which was why she got to be Vigilance's personal seer until Clearsight's power was discovered. Quickdeath was Allknowing's son, which made her hate Darkstalker and Clearsight even more after Darkstalker killed him.

Anaconda - Anaconda inherited the throne from her aunt, Queen Jaguar, in a royal challenge, as her mother, Queen Dieteri, got the throne from their mother but was channeled by her sister. Anaconda had a close relationship with her mother and viewed the challenges as more of revenge for taking the throne, as she was never the more ambitious dragonet of her and her sister. She didn't let Python see it, but she was fond of her sister and let her take military charge and do what she would like to make her happy.

Anemone - Anemone felt relieved when animus magic disappeared and found an interest in pottery. She enjoyed actually using her claws to make something beautiful rather than making something beautiful at the expense of her soul.

Anhinga - Anhinga loved reading and established a program to collect ancient MudWing literature that would be stored in the MudWing palace library, fittingly named the Anhinga Library.

Aphid - Aphid would be one of the HiveWings to settle in the LeafSilk Kingdom as his father was horrified when he saw his baby dragonet being used like a puppet by Queen Wasp. He is the younger brother of Carabid who also lives in the LeafSilk Kingdom.

Arctic - Arctic was the oldest of his siblings, all of them being male and none of them being able to inherit the throne. Because of this, Diamond was very serious about Arctic specifically getting married and having dragonets so that she could have direct heirs and also continue the animus lineage. After moving to the Night Kingdom and having trouble with his marriage, Arctic began to figure out he was bi and experimented with male NightWings behind Hope's back which she found out about, but it was one of the things the two were more cautious about, so Whiteout and Darkstalker never learned about it.

Argus - Argus is a SilkWing servant of one of the kinder HiveWings which is why he can sometimes appear to be lazy to the Chrysalis, as he was in love with his boss. He didn't tell this to the other members because he was afraid it would make him look bad since their relationship had an imbalance of power. After TFoH, Argus's boss remained in the Hive Kingdom while he moved to the LeafSilk Kingdom to get away, knowing he should spend some time away from HiveWings. He is the older brother of Cinnabar and the grandson of Daniad.

Arid - Arid is grumpy and blunt due to spending time in the stronghold around dragons influenced by Burn. She isn’t the biggest fan of other tribes but JMA has helped her to open up

Armadillo - Armadillo was raised in the Scorpion Den by their father, Adder, a powerful business dragon in the den. Eventually, Armadillo met Thorn and when Thorn became queen, they and their father moved to the SandWing stronghold. Armadillo becomes Blaze's partner.

Ash - Ash is not a LeafWing, but actually a SilkWings, as the book she is in was written during a time when the LeafWings and SilkWings lived peacefully together.

Asha - Asha was in love with Dune and the two had a relationship with each other before Asha's death. Dune always mourned for her and it was one of the reasons why he was often sad and upset.

Atala - in the LeafSilk Kingdom, Atala becomes a member of the SilkWing assembly and marries her LeafWing partners, being one of the first SilkWing-LeafWing couples post-Tree Wars.

Auklet - Auklet has pink accents like Anemone did. Auklet will become the next queen of the SeaWings (many, many years into the future) after Coral dies of a SeaWing plague.

Avalanche - Avalanche meets Secretkeeper while the Talons of Peace go to the Rainforest Kingdom for a meeting and the two become partners.

Bs

Barracuda - Barracuda is skittish and longer/skinnier than most SeaWings. He and Newt are in a relationship.

Battlewinner - Battlewinner is the sister of Morrowseer, Quickstrike, and an unnamed male NightWing. Before her injury, she was ambitious and some of the kinder, less loyal NightWings were afraid that she would try to take over multiple tribes. The frostbreath injury she got was not from an IceWing in a battle, that is only a cover story. Battlewinner actually had fallen in love with an IceWing, but to protect her tribe, she attacked Battlewinner, making her resentful of the IceWings, even more so than before.

Bayou - when the MudWing Succession Crisis happened, Bayoun ran away to the Sand Kingdom where she befriended Jerboa III. The two remained friends until Bayou's death from old age.

Belladonna - Belladonna and Hemlock did not want to marry each other initially, and Belladonna tried to protest to her mother, Linden, but ultimately the two decided that it would be better for their tribe if they married, even if they did not love each other. The two see each other as close friends and partners in crime, but not lovers.

Beryl - Beryl is a SeaWing Scarlet knew from her reign as queen who was incredibly rich from an unknown source and had certain powers that scared the SkyWing queen. She is deathly afraid of Beryl which is why she never mentioned her to anybody before.

Bigtail - Bigtail is larger than most dragons which he is self-conscious about. This was made worse when Pike yelled at him in the prey center.

Blaze - Blaze enjoys dressing up other dragons, not just herself, and loves matching outfits with her friends.

Blister - Blister was a keen scholar, and despite her cunningness, she loved history and protecting scrolls. Before her mother's death, she organized the SandWing stronghold library herself. She is also passionate about theater and if she did not have the pressure of taking the throne and fighting in the war, she would have become an actor. She is a major scrollworm, similar to Starflight.

Bloodworm - Bloodworm wanted to take the throne from Wasp for a long time during Wasp's rule and would secretly practice her fighting. If Wasp hadn't been removed from her position earlier, Bloodworm would have developed a plan to kill Wasp and take the throne. Bloodworm killed Wasp after the two were put in the flamesilk factory, just for her own peace of mind, making her other sisters afraid of her.

Blue - after settling in the LeafSilk Kingdom, Blue attended higher education at the first LeafSilk academy, Sapling Academy. After he graduated, he became a lawyer and would later in life become a teacher at an academy built after he had graduated called Chrysalis University.

Bombardier - Bombardier also came to live in the LeafSilk Kingdom and as an adult, apologized to Cricket for how he acted toward her. The two would become friends and Bombardier works as an accountant at Chrysalis University.

Bonecruncher - as the settlement of Renewal expanded, a council was formed and Bonecruncer was named the head of agriculture. He never formally changed his name to Greentalon, but his close friends call him that.

Boto - Boto is the younger brother of Bullfrog. He had a crush on Thrush before Thrush started dating Ostrich.

Bright - Bright was Tualang's sister and they were kidnapped together while exploring the outer parts of the RainWing village. Although it was believed that Bright died, she was only pretending, and when the NightWings threw her "corpse" into the ocean, she miraculously survived until she reached the top of the Claws of the Clouds Mountains. She is currently lost in the Sky Kingdom due to not knowing the continent.

Bromeliad - Glory eventually assigned Bromeliad to be an envoy between the Rainforest Kingdom and the lost city of night, which Bromeliad found more enjoyable than all of her previous jobs. Bromeliad looks similar to Kestrel which makes Glory feel uneasy sometimes.

Bryony - Bryony's relationship with Grayling was platonic, she eventually got into a polyamorous relationship with several other LeafWings

Bullfrog (MudWing) - Bullfrog is the nephew of Queen Moorhen and one of her most trusted advisors; after coming back from Pantala, he met Bullfrog the RainWing when the medic visited the Mud Kingdom to learn the medical properties of mud; Bullfrog, being the healer of his sibling troop, got along with the other Bullfrog and the two started dating

Bullfrog (RainWing) - Bullfrog would eventually return to the Rainforest Kingdom with the MudWing Bullfrog; to keep others from getting their names mixed up, the RainWing bullfrog went by Frog and the MudWing Bullfrog went by Bull

Bumblebee - Bumblebee saw Sundew and Cricket as her parental figures growing up, going between those two households

Burn - Burn always felt strange when visiting Scarlet in the Sky Kingdom; she had a suspicion that the SkyWing queen had a crush on her, but was too awkward to bring it up; Despite her cruel personality, Burn was extremely awkward when it came to doing anything with other dragons besides killing

Burnet - after moving to the LeafSilk Kingdom, Burnet got a leadership position in the department of housing where she ran operations to build infrastructure

Byblis - Byblis is Linden's sister's daughter, making her Belladonna's cousin; the two are best friends
