I have the worlds smallest little headcanon that Seawings are, on average, more likely to be deaf/hoh since they rely the least on it for hunting and survival + Aquatic means it’s much easier for a deaf Seawing to be fully absorbed in Seawing society
Second highest is (modern) Nightwings because naturally sensitive hearing + constant exposure to a loud volcano = lots of dragons with progressive hearing loss. Im not sure how much Nightwings have a sign language (time at volcano vs how terrible nightwing society is, fight!) but I do think the most recent generation of Nightwings would probably have their own dialect/baby language since they’re the most likely to be effected by it with the increase in volcanic activity and the way Nightwing dragonets are raised together in dormitories
#wings of fire#wof#wof headcanons#love the idea of deaf Seawing students at JMA helping deaf Nightwings with learning aquatic signs#this is the worst sentence ever but I would love to tackle ableism in wof bc I imagine each tribe would have radically different approaches#and different cultural norms#like. mudwings are probably much more chill w dragons who can’t fly vs Skywingd#and Rainwings would be fine with amputees but in Seawing life that’s a massive blow since ur swimming is so strongly effected
