#WoF Arc 3 spoilers

[wolfsummoner]

Are there any Bob Marley/Ziggy Marley Wings of Fire or Warriors animatics? If not y'all are sleeping on them.

Darkstalker/Queen Wasp | See Dem Fake Leaders (Ziggy)

Almost any WoF protag really | War (Bob)

Hawkfrost | I Shot the Sheriff (Bob)

RiverClan | Rebellion Rises (Ziggy)

Edit: Hawkfrost fits Eric Clapton's version better, but Tigerstar would fit the original I Shot the Sheriff

Unsorted WOF thoughts part 169:

I recently noticed that all of the arcs' penultimate books had really emotionally resonant endings. For good reason, because we needed a reason to care about finishing the arc.

Which of these endings hit you the hardest?

when book 14s graphic novel comes out i’m gonna be so sad… jerboa’s flashback is probably gonna be like 4 pages

Drawing A Random WoF Character - Admiral

Spoilers for Arc 3 ahead!

Admiral was first Introduced in the lost continent, and he is Blue and Luna’s father. He was partnered with Burnet and Silverspot. He was enslaved by Queen Wasp in the flamesilk factory for likely his entire life after emerging from his cocoon, only leaving to mate with Burnet and Silverspot, as Blue and Luna never knew him before meeting in the factory. He’s a rule follower who is generally loyal to the Queen and wants to stay in the factory. He is not well-liked by the other flamesilks. He is generally optimistic and naive, seemingly ignorant (probably by choice) to the reality of his and the other flamesilks’ situation. He futilely tries to get Wasp to improve the factory and continues trying despite Wasp’s clear disregard for their condition. After Blue escapes with Luna, he is not seen again.

Welcome to a new series I’m ‘starting’! (I’ve been doing this on and off for a while on tiktok but I’ve decided to start posting theme here, starting with the very oldest.) This one is from all the way back in ‘22. My goal, insane as it is, is to draw every single character eventually, no matter how insignificant. I find myself often falling into patterns and ruts when I’m drawing wings of fire, and I want to use this series to gradually break out of that. Call it same-dragon-syndrome. My hope is that with each dragon I’ll gradually push myself further out of my repetitive designs and improve my art style at the same time. Constructive criticism is welcome! I feel like I haven’t majorly improved my art in a while and I want to change that.

Warning: Potential spoilers for WOF arc 3 if you haven’t read it!

So I realized that this headcanon wouldn’t actually work, but I’m going to post it anyway! So we know how there’s only a handful of trees in Pantala? And trees produce oxygen?

What if Pantalan dragons (Hivewings, Silkwings, and Leafwings (Sapwings and Poisonwings?)) all evolved over time after most of the trees got cut down? Like what if their bodies just started needing less air-

peacemaker is temporary and heres why

spoilers for all of arc 2 of wings of fire

Peacemaker exists because of enchantment similar to pyrite and ruby. and also the enchantment on peril. There is evidence in all three of these enchantments to show how peacemaker doesn't work

I will now list the evidence

.1 pyrite

One of the enchantments on hailstorm while he was pyrite was to forget their past self

But when pyrite slept near icewings she would have dreams of snow

This shows hailstorm subconsciously remembers the ice kingdom as pyrite

.2 ruby

Tourmaline was enchanted to be ruby and also to be weak and unable/unwilling to take the throne

After scarlet was dethroned, she took the throne

When scarlet came to try and take the throne back ruby stood up to her and challenged for the throne

This should not be possible due to the enchantments

.3 the enchantment on peril

Peril was enchanted to no longer have firescales, forget clay completely, and be loyal to scarlet

Later she claims to be more loyal to chameleon than she is to scarlet and then she remembers clay

She was not supposed to be able to do either thing

Conclusion

Based on evidence enchantments that are specifically ment to change a dragons mentality, a dragons ability to do something, or who a dragon is loyal to seems to be impermanent as dragons appear to be able to overcome it

So back to peacemaker

He is enchanted to forget Darkstalker and be a completely different dragon and also lose his powers

But evidence of past enchantments leads me to believe this will change

Peacemaker could remember all of Darkstalker's memorys and in the worst case get his powers back in some way

However he will remain looking like peacemaker because in the evidence shown in the other dragons appearance doesn't change unless the enchanted item is removed

I got most info for this from memory and the wof wiki

[hyperfang6900]

okay. so. i don’t see nearly enough people talking about this

danaid has to be one of my favorite side characters in arc 3 and here’s why !!!

(possible spoilers for book 11 wof)

despite the fact that she barely interacted with blue at all, she still deciphered that blue was trying to escape, and- knowing she wouldn’t be able to come with- still decided to help him by starting to argue with admiral. without that, there’s no way blue and luna could’ve escaped. she helped them because she didn’t want them to suffer like her and all the other flamesilks did. we love danaid in this household 🫶🫶🫶

had to make a adjustment shdjjddjj

[cometchasr]

blackfire: book one by xenonex. theres art, its adorable and fluffy, its also filled with drama, rarepair, everything

exile by mallowstep, aerial-jace and kudossi. something that holds terrible and beautiful memories for me (personal reasons). but just, the whole idea. the emotion, the vibes. the it all. this is the one that spawned the way i style my works, because i fucking vibe with the vibe so much, and ive turned it into a very different beast, but here it is. the core, one great part of my writing story. read it its so good

The Dragon Prince

(only 2 because ive read about zero tdp fanfics, it doesnt actually have any dragons smh)

the devil you thought you knew by strangefake. aaravos. AARAVOS. MAGIC EXPOSITION. PHILOSOPHY. BLURRY GOOD AND EVIL. DELICIOUS. wonderful as hell holy shit

Pokemon Mystery Dungeon

the history of this fandom and its works is long and expansive and storied and i have so many recs i would never be able to fit them here (mostly because i havent read like all of them). needless to say, we've started making our own content in overdrive at the lack of new shit.

the entire pmd writer's union collection. im in this server. fics are top-notch, environment is top-notch, except when it isnt for me and me personally. if one wishes to join i may or may not be allowed to give you a link. anyways, the ones ive read are down below, and are all in the collection (duh!)

warped skies by team ion. linked is the arc 1 rewrite, the original is here. its beautiful. its a trainwreck of emotions, and i havent started on arc 3 yet (thats the good shit). the chapters are extremely long, the characters are extremely good, i shill it everywhere, i love this fic and i havent even gotten halfway through. its the other main influence on my writing, although more in ambition and inspiration than in actual style like exile. hell, i started DoP because of it. the post is out there somewhere. its just. it is. it is, it is. i think you can see a common theme with my ineptitude at describing fics, but. read it. read it. masterpiece

daily life in pokemon paradise by kitsu-19. gates slice of life. beautiful characters. the moguls and swift and it all. its. its so interesting, and full of life, and you fall in love with the characters. it feels so much more alive. i cannot describe shit. read it, youll get what i mean.

royal replacement by turkeyuwu. gay. politics. legal document(s?)

afraid of the light by binibean. celestia trauma from all that bullshit. angst. somethings not right. i love these stories.

night wing by gravity012. guy gets SIed into a big immortal magic birb. stuff falls apart, he goes on adventures with celestia and luna, changelings and thestrals are very cuddly. so fluffy. until it isnt.

then it becomes very sad.

(also he freezes the tree of harmony for making nightmare moon happen. badass)

this is a fucking long list.

UPDATE: I FORGOT TO GIVE A LINK TO BLACKFIRE @xenomane FORGIVE ME

[princedragonoverlord]

I've got my idea for each arc in the swapped WoF continent au mostly figured out now!

Also warning for spoilers since I use the same events as in the book for this.

Arc 1:

Takes place on Pantala. Leafwings are not at war and trees are not illegal but Hivewings still rule over the Silkwings and have uneasy alliance with the Leafwings. Queen Wasp has died and left everyone unsure of who will take over her hive/being the main Hivewing queen. Every Lady or at least a few of them (I imagine 3) who are interested are now at war and split the hives. Some side with Leafwings, Some force Silkwings to fight, and Some only have Hivewings but many of them. The book keeper declares there is a prophecy in Clearsight's book about ending this war.

(I'm not yet sure how the prophecy goes)

But it says that 2 Hivewings, 2 Silkwings, and 1 Leafwing will end it in 20 years.

And now like the normal plot the eggs are gathered, something goes wrong with getting 2 Hivewing eggs and it is replaced by another Leafwing egg instead.

The dragonets are

Clay - Leafwing

A very strong looking Leafwing, hatched first so was decided to be the Leafwing they wanted. Has no abilities but is believed to be feirce and dangerous due to Hivewing propaganda. He just wants peace and to be friendly.

Tsunami - Silkwing

They think she acts out because of not being properly raised by Silkwings under Hivewing rule and she probably wants to prove Silkwings are good leaders for prophecys and stuff. Related to either Queen Monarch or whoever the last Silkwing royalty was and is therefore the heir to the Silkwing throne which no longer exists. She does get her wings before they escape and was excited about it.

Glory - Leafwing

Glory has leafspeak instead of venom but no one thinks either she or Clay has it. They do probably treat her a bit better but she's still counted as an extra for hatching later and therefore is unwanted.

Starflight - Hivewing

The Hivewings want him to be the leader of the group. He has no extra natural weapons.

Sunny - An unusual looking Silkwing

Is a Silkwing with no antenna and some strange looking features. Considered the good Silkwing of the group for behaving but she is still very overlooked because of it. Can't wait to get her wings any day now. She is a Silk/Hive hybrid (Mother Silkwing and Father Hivewing) When she gets her wings later after they escape she has very unusual wings and she might also get some black scales during her metamorphosis.

At the end the prophecy is discovered to be a fake made up by 1 of the Hivewing Ladies in order to get the throne and rule over all 3 tribes, but it is still sort of fulfilled.

Arc 2: (Needs some work)

Takes place in Pantala. There is a school for all 3 tribes and Silkwings have their own tribe and queen again (Ruled by Sunny's mother.) Darkstalker who is a Beetlewing animus is awoken. He can somehow talk to Moon (unsure how)

Moon comes across Clearsight's book somehow and finds a real prophecy written in it.

Moon - Hivewing

Somehow able to talk to Darkstalker, can't hear thoughts however. (Unsure how else to make her unique)

Winter - Leafwing

Doesn't have leafspeak, part of the royal family.

Peril - Silkwing

She's a flamesilk. Hivewings tried to use her to produce it and she became useful as a war machine as well.

Turtle - Silkwing

Still an animus. Also part of the forgotten original Silkwing royalty same as his sister Anemone.

Qibli - Hivewing

Has extra natural weapons mostly for paralyzing. Very loyal to the new Silkwing queen who took him in when he was little.

In the end they defeat Darkstalker, they also prevent the Hivewings and Leafwings from going to war again.

Arc 3: (Needs work)

Takes place on Pyrrhia. One of the tribes has taken over several of the others or is at war with them.

Blue - Nightwing

Born under 1 moon. Can see the future. Gets visions and doesn't know what to do about it. Delivers the 3rd prophecy.

Cricket - Icewing

(Wanted to keep up the forbidden romance with her and Blue, also thought Icewing would be more interesting than Sandwing or any other dragon type that made sense for her) Not much else to say.

Sundew - Skywing

Might have firescales (Was unsure whether or not to give them to her) . Is part of a small group who spilt from the main Skywing kingdom.

Snowfall - Leafwing

Leafwing queen after what happens with Darkstalker.

Luna - Nightwing

Born under 1 moon with Blue. Can read minds. She ends up using this power to show Freedom the visions.

They end up reuniting the tribes and stopping the breath of evil which is on Pyrrhia now.

And that concludes what I have so far for this au, I'm almost done with the drawings for the 1st arc characters too. Let me know what you think :3

[defineshitposting]

gripping you pleease show the wof 9 thing eventually <- wof dragons enthusiast and likes seeing your little clothguys

Okay so spoilers for 9 obviously and sort of for wings of fire as well, this is going to be real stream of consciousness so bear with me but ough. lizords.

The au is set about two thousand years after the end of wof arc three, and despite what was implied Jerboa III's spell has led to no new animus dragons being born. As it stands though this has been largely inconsequential. Humans and dragons now (mostly) view each other as equals, and live in mixed communities working together. It's a period of growth for both species. 

One human (Julius) becomes fascinated by the advancements that were achieved in the era of animus dragons, and sets out to see if it's possible to bring the magic back. Through a combination of genetic engineering and more occult methods, a new artificial animus is brought into the world, and its potential is immediately obvious. This potential is unfortunately recognized by the wrong people, and the newborn Being is separated from its creator. At the same time the new lifeform was being developed, one of the continent's many conflicts had begun boiling over into full-blown war, and the Being is quickly viewed as a weapon. The predictable mistreatment leads to it growing a hatred for both humans and dragons, and also rapidly increases its size. It doesn't take long for it to turn against its captors, and a war that was originally bureaucratic in origin is now for survival against an onslaught of war machines.Casualties are very high, and while many dragons and humans are able to escape south to Pantala or in some cases the Sea kingdom, many more are lost in the chaos. Julius, who feels responsible for the ongoing carnage, manages to obtain the help of nine dragons who for varying reasons are willing to try anything that could help. They offer up their bodies as conduits for the next step, while Julius places a piece of his own consciousness into each. 

From this point the plot is much the same as the movie, with 9 awakening some time later than the others and discovering the talisman. He is found by 2, both are attacked by the (much larger) Cat Beast, and 2 is taken along with the talisman. An injured 9 is carried to the sheltered ruin of Sanctuary* by 5, meeting 1 and 8 and learning more about the reasons for the devastation around them. 9, unwilling to give up on 2, convinces 5 to join him in attempting a rescue, and they fly in the direction 9 saw the Beast take him. Arriving at the derelict Factory built into a mountain, they both reunite with 2 before the Cat Beast attacks them. Cornered by the Beast the trio are suddenly joined by 7, who kills the Cat. While the other three are reconnecting, 9’s curiosity gets the better of him, and he accidentally reawakens the dormant Being. Sensing remnants of its creator, it strips 2's soul from his body, and the other three flee before it can do the same to them. 7 leads 5 and 9 to the Library where the twins 3 and 4 meet them. Here they learn more about the destruction around them, and when 9 and 5 prepare to head back to Sanctuary 7 refuses to join them, while the Twins remain at the library to research.

After they return and are chastised by 1, 9 meets 6, who proves to have knowledge on the talisman and the group’s “Source”. 9 confronts 1 on his cowardice, but their argument is interrupted when the massive Winged Beast attacks. In the chaos the fragile ruins begin to collapse and burn, and it’s a struggle to escape both the monster and the failing walls. The beast is killed, but not before wounding 7 and destroying Sanctuary. The group all retreat to the Library, where 3 and 4 reveal what they’ve discovered, and 1 blurts out that she did in fact send 2 out to scout in the hopes that he would be killed. An enraged 7 attacks 1, but retreats in anguish when 9 intervenes. At the same time this is happening, 8, who had been sent out to keep watch for further monsters (and took the opportunity to smoke) is attacked and paralyzed by the newest horror, the Seamstress, with 2’s body fused to its tail. A frustrated 1 who had walked off alone is also attacked and envenomated, his yell alerting the others. 7 rejoins the ensuing fight, 1 is freed from her bindings, and 2’s body is cut loose from the creature. Despite both 5 and 9 managing to wound it, the Seamstress takes off with 8 and 7. Distressingly, before 9 convinces the others to mount a rescue, it is found that 2’s body still has a heartbeat.

After destroying several Seekers and making it to the now-active Factory, 9 heads in alone while 1, the twins, 5 and 6 look for a way to destroy the building and the Being inside. While inside 9 is forced to watch as 8’s soul is removed, before he tricks and kills the Seamstress, and escapes with 7 as the Being notices them. 5 and the others, having rigged explosives upon the Factory’s dam, begin igniting them as soon as they see the two fleeing, destroying the fortress in a wall of water. Rejoicing at finally defeating the threat, the group takes a breather at a bend in the river. 5, while washing his hands on the bank, sees that the Being is still alive and heading for them. He manages to alert the others before he is caught and claimed in front of the other six. In their race to gain altitude and escape, 6 sees that 5 is still breathing, realizing that their souls are being taken but not destroyed. As he is attempting to make this known, he is also taken. A distraught 9 tries to convince the remaining four to join him in looking for a way to save the others, but ends up heading out on his own.

Returning to the “first room” where he awoke, 9 finds the remains of Julius, notes on theirs and the Being’s creation, and a message for him specifically from both Julius and the dragon who gave up their body for him, Noonday. In a hidden room he also discovers a huge cache of eggs, over a hundred, all in stasis. With these revelations 9 races to the others, finding them trying and failing to kill the Being. As it draws closer and the group retreats to a sheltered tunnel, 9 makes the decision to sacrifice himself so the others may have a chance to survive and remove the talisman. Before he can do that though they are attacked and driven from the hideaway by the now-injured Being’s fury. Leftover ordinances explode around them, and they are separated and injured as the Being bears down on them. 9 prepares to give up his soul, but before he can, 1 takes his place and is claimed. With only moments to spare 9 removes the talisman, and the Being is killed. 7 and the twins rush to an unconscious 9's side, and when he comes to they embrace him. They then retrieve the bodies of 1, 6, 5, 8, and 2, in the hopes of reviving them, though 9 admits it may just as likely be for burial. All five are still breathing, though they also all have injuries, some serious. Using the talisman, 9 reintegrates each one's soul into their body in a bright flash of green, and they reawaken. After an emotional reunion and tending to the most major injuries, 9 and the others incinerate the body of the Being, its cremation releasing its contained energy and revitalizing the damaged landscape (and inadvertently bringing animus magic back into the world).

Oh god i wrote too much lmao ANYWAYS from there it's all about healing and starting anew and maybe falling in love along the way. One for-sure project of theirs is reaching out to the survivors they know must exist (and dealing with a steadily growing gaggle of dragonets in the process). Everything after the main story is entirely self-indulgent, but I think since many other 9 enjoyers wished for a happier ending at least a little bit it’ll be enjoyable for people other than me lol. Will post my designs for the gang tomorrow, and also my interpretations of the two continents since those maps have always made the geology nerd in me mad lol (though i don't have solid designs for fabby or the beasts yet mostly just cause i want to make sure they're distinct from @astrogriffin 's awesome takes)

* different from Winter’s Sanctuary

[grimmgrinningghouls]

I'll bite. whos ash?

only the stinkiest smelliest goofiest skywing in the entire history of ever.

I'm her primary owner but she's co-owned by @dinodogs and @royalestroses who both write stuff with her, and make/commission art. I'm just the one who first came up wit her!

She's the main protag in a big WoF project us 3 are working on, its a whole oc thing that takes place 113 years after the flames of hope. We've put a lot of time and effort into it and I don't want to spoil things yet, but Ash is the skywing equivalent of a spartan soldier and the sky kingdom is a mix of sparta, athens, and just ancient greece in general. lotta different parts of a lotta different ancient greek city states, athens nd sparta r just the two biggest ones. but thats not important rn, just meant to give an insight on Ash's life as a dragonet, if u know anything abt sparta.

Anyways. Ash herself is extremely loyal to her queen, closed off, and the only emotion she shows is grumpy. She can be a big teddy bear around people she likes, but due to certain events the only two people she liked were suddenly gone. Afterwards she ended up becoming extremely irritable, and full of rage and hurt. She's a child soldier going through intense grief with no way to handle her emotions or any kind of outlet. More spoiler stuff, but she goes all found family with an icewing and a nightwing, becomes super gay, and in the end turns out happy. She has a whole character arc but thats like, mega spoilers so u gotta wait sorry.

anyways. heres some of my favourite pics of her <3

Snowfall slides the ring off. She can’t believe how easily it moves, after all those days of wrestling with it. Now it feels too big again, wobbling around her claw. She gives it to Opal, who puts it across the hole, and the words gift of vision vanish, until the ring is completely hidden. “Good luck,” Opal says with a smile.

Tdg spoilers

Snowfall: no one knows about the forbidden treasury. Its a well guarded secret i was only privy to when my mother told me. It is classified, highly sensitive information... its mere existence will die with me...

(5 pages later)

Lynx: oh yeah i know all about the forbidden treasury

Snowfall: and on god ill tell you more about it
