just imagine...a romance between Chameleon and Vermillion, but in a universe where Chameleon is a single father with two chaotic kids and an obnoxious boss.

CherryLime (Vermillion x Chameleon) for life.

I imagine sky would be wayyy at the bottom, and may even get mistaken for a nightwing :)

Sky. A guy. Who exists.

[hollowflight-propaganda]

I'm going to become the #1 Sky fan out of nothing but pure spite if I see even one more baseless take about how he's "an infantilizing stereotype" or "written like a toddler." Sorry guys, wof fandom says that if you're a generally cheerful person and/or you like little animals you're essentially a toddler 😔

I was ranting to a mutual about this yesterday, and I think that it hit the nail on the head by saying, "As someone who gets really excited about small things seeing that as childish is literally part of the problem."

Adults can and are able to like "childish" things. Adults can and are able to be optimists. Disabled people aren't "acting like toddlers" if they fall into either or both of these categories. People are allowed to enjoy life however they want, and it's not up to you to decide if they're acting like how they "should" be.

I think that even talking this way about a fictional character can have harmful consequences. It's already hard enough for people to feel like they can express themselves, but if we talk about things like this and immediately equate it to toddler behavior then it'll just make things harder.

I saw a cardinal outside when I got home today. I gasped in delight upon seeing it and talked to it for a moment, and that's because I just always enjoy seeing animals whenever I can. I'm also aroace and nonbinary, so if I was a fictional character would I be an infantilizing stereotype of those groups? Apparently a good chunk of the wof fandom thinks so, because it would be wrong to headcanon Sky as such according to them.

And honestly, I can relate to Sky on the basis of having had a sheltered upbringing. A lot of the time I feel like I'm a lot younger than I am and that I'm out of my depth due to it. Maybe it's not Tui's intention, but seeing Sky being allowed to be himself brings me some joy. And I'm sick and tired of people acting like the mere existence of this side character is a sin because he's a touch too silly for them.

Something possessed me in the middle of the night to draw this instead of doing work

Broke: Peril and Sky are both cisgender.

Woke: Due to reptilian biology either Peril or Sky are trans because twin reptiles always share the same biological sex.

Bespoke: Peril and Sky are both trans because I said so.

Unsorted WOF thoughts part 67:

GOD could you imagine if Morrowseer wasn't a trick bitch and never ordered Kestrel's death?

Quick recount:

Peril: Alive ✅️

Chameleon: Whereabouts unknown but presumably alive ✅️

Sky: Survived the fall as a dragonet and lives on as Peril's brother unbeknownst to himself or anyone else ✅️

Literally all of Peril's biological family is alive except Kestrel.

They almost had the worst family dynamic in history on their talons. They were THAT close.

I've had this stuck in my mind for so long

Uncolored version. It's kinda nice to just pump some solid art out again.

[sidyashchiy-na-plakhe]

Just watched the interview with Tui.

WINGLETS (probably) ARE BACK! Tui is planning to make a winglet about Peril and Sky reuniting.

Everyone is hyping.

I want to talk about Kestrel because yeah she is an awful dragon but that's just surface level talk. Now I want to make it clear here I am not defending her actions as they are reprehensible I am just analyzing her character. I genuinely believe that the reason why she is so abusive and horrible is because she lost her dragonets. Scarlet made her kill one of her dragonets just to escape with one so she chose the weakest one with no fire (sky) only for Scarlet to try and take her other dragonet Peril. Kestrel tried to escape with her but because of Peril's firescales she is too hot to escape with and Kestrel had to leave her behind with Scarlet.

It's why she treats the DoD so horribly instead of raising her own dragonets she stuck raising these dragons from different tribes she has no relation to. The DoD will never be able to live up to Kestrels expectations not just because they aren't skywings but because they aren't her dragonets all Kestrel could care less about well being as long as they can fulfill the prophecy. I also think the reason why Kestrel treats Glory the worst is because she was the replacement for the busted skywing egg. That skywing egg would have hatched a skywing that would have served as a replacement for her lost dragonets but instead of getting a skywing they get a rainwing.

It's why she hates Glory the most of all that skywing eggs was basically her last chance to be a normal parent to a skywing but it hit squashed. Replaced by a stupid and lazy rainwing among stupid and weak dragonets she has to raise for the prophecy. She so desperately wants to raise her kids or at the very least a skywing that the DoD and especially Glory will never live up to her expectations of raising her own dragonets. No matter what they do no matter how hard the DoD will try they will never be good enough for Kestrel because what Kestrel wants is her own dragonets (I also wouldn't be surprised that her having a skywing supremacy mindset also lead to her mistreatment of the DoD). It's why when she figures out when Peril is still alive her tone changes she isn't as harsh to her as she is to the DoD just because Peril is actually hers.

This is where her mistakes come into play where her own actions come back to haunt her. Because the DoD will hate her because of all the abuse she has caused them but since Peril is close with Clay and the rest of the DoD if Peril ever figured out how Kestrel treated them she would hate Kestrel too. Why would she like Kestrel who abused the DoD ever since they were children especially since Peril was also an abusive victim with Scarlet how could she ever trust Kestrel knowing she would basically just be another Scarlet in the way she treats her. Same thing with Sky to.

I know a lot of people get mad at the idea of a Kestrel "redemption arc" if she lived and yeah I get it because the way some people paint is that the DoD and everyone she abused forgives her which is very icky. The way it would realistically go is that the DoD and her children would hate her guts they wouldn't want anything to do with her. Nothing she does will ever be able make up for the abuse she has caused and she wouldn't be able to repair her image amongst the DoD or Peril and Sky and they will never like or love her back. In the off chance she somehow managed to make new friends (very unlikely but not completely off the table dragons are notoriously shit parents) she would have to live the rest of her life knowing that her own children hate her and want nothing to do with her. She will die alone and with no one by her side and if you ask me that's a more deserving punishment, living your life knowing your actions ruined everything and dying alone instead of dying before you can see the consequences of your actions and understanding how your horrible actions were your own downfall.

Fandom opinion thing from a few weeks ago, some of the opinions aren't really accurate cuz I haven't reread the whole series in a long time, just random books here and there.

("liked by everyone but me" is Sky, but I'm not sure if that's really true for tumblr. Even in the fandom space I came from that sentiment was already starting to fizzle out and there's been a respectable amount of sky slander recently.)

also, all of the dragonet ships (ex: cliff x auklet, as displayed above) are weird and I don't understand them.

I like you.”) Winter, Kinkajou, and Tamarin.
