#Wing Au

My RtC wing au :D (originally posted on amino, if you recognize it)

Ocean - Starling

•Starlings are naturally invasive and considered annoying by many.

• This social expectation helped push Ocean into her perfectionism.

• The wings resemble an oil spill

• Despite contextual meanings, Ocean loves how her wings look

• A collective of starlings is called a “chattering” because they’re very social

Noel - Raven

Half hates his wings half loves them

• Pretty much the opposite of Ocean; Hates how they look, loves the implications

• Lots of people think of ravens negatively (creepy, dirty, tricky)

• Poetic meanings behind ravens make it worth it to Noel

• Enjoys flying (unlike Ocean) but will never do it in front of anyone

Misha - Osprey

• The only bird on the list not native to Canada (native to Ukraine, of course)

• Very expressive with his wings whether it’s intimidation or passion

• An Osprey being a type of hawk contributed to Mischa’s title of Angriest Boy in Town

• Mischa has the biggest wings out of the group

• A group of Ospreys are called a “duet”, which isn’t pertinent, but I find it fun since. choir

Ricky - Grey Catbird

• Couldn’t resist giving Ricky this one

• He can’t fly, but he can still move his wings and he’s even more expressive than Mischa

• There are all sorts of decorations woven into his feathers, he likes to tie things in or dye feathers when he has a moment

• When he uses his wheelchair, there are shields that protect his wings from the wheels

• During SABM he 100% comes out with them bedazzled

Penny - Chestnut Sided Warbler

•A songbird, of course (sponsored by Jane’s soprano self)

• Her brother’s wings aren’t the same as hers (Baird’s Sparrow), so when he mentioned he was jealous of the yellow in her wings she started dying his for him so they could match

• As Jane, her wings were shadows and she could fly without flapping them (freaking the others out, of course)

• Her wings jitter when she gets nervous or excited. A lot of time she keeps them close to her body except while flying

• She makes up little games to play while flying, dragging Ezra or the choir into them

Constance - Grey Jay

•Canada’s national bird

• Not bullied for her wings, but not complimented for them, it makes her envy other’s wings

• She wanted to dye her entire wings, but her parents only allowed her to dye the ends to match her hair

• Very affectionate with her wings, using them to brush against or hold people she cares about

• The Blackwoods have protective covers for when they work at the cafe, kind of like hairnets

Wing au!!!!

So Damian is a mix of both his heritages being a bat and a bird which causes trouble in his flying.

Jason would have had a powerful set of wings but unfortunately one was taken.

Dick has colorful wings a bit smaller but fast and agile, the colors help represent the flying Graysons.

Cass is as stated a Chinese paradise flycatcher a tiny but fast bird.

Duke is an angel kidding kidding but he has the biggest wings in the family, he has two big sets that glow because he’s a meta.

I’ll probably do more of the family in another post if this does well because drawing wings is a challenge for me 🥰

Yall really like these guys with wings so here’s some more doodles! Im busy with commission work and won’t be active for a good while, but I’ll try to post more doodles ever so often. (Ahh the joy of drawing my favorite guys… it fills me with joy.)

AO3 is having some difficulty with displaying the images I put on the site, so here is the fanart I made for Loading And Aspect Ratio!
