#bigtail wings of fire

[candle-lamp]

thinking about an AU where Carnelian and Bigtail survive, most of the arc 2 events stay the same but the two of them + Tamarin are stuck in the infirmary together and become friends over time. Carnelian and Bigtail make fun of Pike, Bigtail and Tamarin have a heart to heart about the whole Rainwing and Nightwing situation, and Carnelian tells them about the war. The history cave explosion gang, or tinnitus club

[mythos321]

wait how was Tamarin less burnt than Carnelian or Bigtail

Like I’m guessing Sora placed the bomb near the front so that could be why for Carnelian, but by all means wouldn’t it be the same for Bigtail? Or was he for some reason way more at the entrance(apparently close enough to where he was burnt beyond recognition)

#22 - "Misshapen"

Smaugust 2024

This one goes out to all the Bigtail fans out there whose names start with the letter "O".

When I imagine Bigtail, I don't know why, but I think he is into pottery. He's not very good at it and all of his creations turn out as weird lumps, but he keeps trying. What a trooper.

Also, it turns out that some of these prompts are fertile grounds for recycling ideas I've so far only put into ramshackle 15-minute idiot comics and then dumped into some folder without showing more than a handful of people. I guess I can show one of them off now.

Bigtail the Nightwing

[Image Description: A digital drawing of a dark gray Nightwing dragon named Bigtail. He's plus sized with big white front claws and a fat tail. His underbelly is a slate blue with a white heart like marking on his chest. His nose is white and batlike with three points and he has a cleft chin, and a beauty mark right on his snout. He has black side burn spines and spines that are like a mullet. His horns are white and pointed and his Nightwing wings are like a gradient blue night sky. He has tired eyes and a snaggle tooth. He's standing with one front foot in the air. In the second image he has a bull septum ring and a chain around his neck. /.End ID]

Unsorted WOF thoughts part 162:

The more I think about it, the more I come to the conclusion that the Gold Winglet couldn't have been a funnier combination if I'd tried.

Literally, none of the pairs would get along with each other except MAYBE Sora and Tamarin.

Also, just to recap:

Flame: Sent back home.

Onyx: Sent back home.

Sora: On the run.

Icicle: Imprisoned.

Bigtail: Dead.

So now Pike and Tamarin are the only original members left. Pike was only there to watch over Anemone, so now he has no purpose since she's Literally Fine now. And Tamarin's dating Anemone.

Gold Winglet didn't last long, but it went out with a bang.

I'm normal about Carnelian (I say as I read her wiki for the 7262763 time)

Anyways, I here's all my hcs off the top of my head that I have. I'll probably add more or make another post with. But any ways, there's A LOT so under the cut

• She calls Turtle, Tortise and Kinkajou monkey because she forgets their names or wants to be a brat

• Her and Winter talk shit 24/7, 365. Mostly about Qibli and some of the gold winglet.

• hates the other skywings except Flame she fw Flame and thinks hus scar is badass (he doesn't believe her, womp womp)

• The only dragon she doesn't name call is Winter, Moon, and Umber. Qibli gets called sand muncher or Kibble.

• after a while she call Moon moron out if affection.

• Hated Scarlet not just because she was awful but tried to execute her for being friends with Peril at one point

• Hunting (or rather killing) is her unhealthy coping mechanism

• Truly dislikes Kinkajou and can't stand her

• likes Bigtail

• HATES Webs. She would have killed Webs during the invasion if she knew

• Prefers the dark

• Really idolized Tsunami and thinks she's pretty cool

• keeps trying to convince Tsunami to add a combat class and mentions it frequently

• rain makes her mad

• allergic to pollen. Blud is not smelling the flowers during spring

• Trying to convince Clay to let her and Flame wear matching Spike collars (he's scared she's gonna use it to kill someone)

• temper issues

• bad memory from ptsd effects

• orphan (parents died lmao)

• Is scared of Onyx (wtf is there an adult here???)

• wants ppl to think she listens to heavy metal but really she likes depressing hypepop and speed core stuff

• speech problems, struggles pronouncing L and S. (S sound like "sh" and L sounds like "y"

• Steals a lot of ppls food when she's to lazy to kill smth (usually from Qibli or one of the skywings)

• hates being looked at

• always squinting her eyes and RBF

• hates her name

• gave herself a nickname that nobody uses (Carnage)

• would wear a lot of baggy clothes and denim (her and Flame are pretty similar when comes to clothes)

• Pretty selfish but she's learning to be slightly nicer (it's not progressing well)

• reluctant to tell people about her nonexistent parents

• what would beak her? An explosion (😀)

• human!Carnelian would have a perm that almost hangs over her eyes and lots of face piercings

• has a husky and hoarse voice.

• HATES the noise of ppl tapping their claws (she does not understand adhd dragons 💔)

• Even though she was in the camp that believed Scarlet was deceased, I think she more of hoped than believed

• She misses her battalion a lot (they miss her skill, but not her.)

• out of her 14 battles, one was the invasion to the summer palace. She killed atleast 20 seawings

• She has a few broken teeth

• Her breath smells like ass (doesn't like brushing her teeth because her broken teeth hurt.)

• Her favorite color is actually maroon

• I based her design slightly off of a Harris hawk

• her and Flame have matching copper bracelets they made in art class.

• has Moonwatcher help her with the homework and reads to her

• Wishes Peril would talk to her (Very self-conscious about it and thinks Peril hates her)

• says dipshit a lot

• She thinks she's badass (she's not in most aspects)

• She looks a few years older than she is because of her squinted eyes and muscular build

• Mad JMA wouldn't let her bring in her spear

• skips music class almost every day

• Would refuse to go to any school dances unless Flame or Moonwatcher would ask her to go. (Most the time it's Moonwatcher, Flame hates the dances too.)

• hates all of the seawings but Turtle (DONT TELL ANYONE!!)

• wants to knock out Pike but restrains herself for Flame. (She's a little jealous of there frenemy-ship)

• Umber/turtle/Carnelian trio!!!!

#20 - "Levitate"

Smaugust 2024

Sometimes, when I feel particularly rebellious, I pretend that there is a version of the story where Carnelian and Bigtail survived the History Cave explosion and the two of them (and Umber, who visited them in the infirmary every day out of guilt) became unlikely friends while recovering from their injuries. They constantly get on each other's nerves because their personalities are diametric opposites.

Also yes, I missed a day. I was just too exhausted yesterday. I had to greatly reduce the scope of this one too.

[shiftywing]

gold winglet is sooo funny to me because they all ended so much worse off lmao

Nightwing a Day #3 & 4 - Bigtail and Bonecrusher/Greentalon

A double feature today, since I was preoccupied yesterday with writing a mock-wikipedia article (with accurate formatting!) in google docs. Note that Bonecruncher | Greentalon is in this position because that's what his wiki article is titled, and thus where he is sorted in that list. However, I'll be referring to him as Greentalon, since that seems to be what he prefers to be called in-universe. (Also I keep trying to spell Bonecruncher as Bonecrusher, because that makes more sense why not just go with that??)

Funnily enough, both of these guys are barely-there backround characters that I love dearly, even if only because they are somewhat amusing. Bigtail's name is arguably the dragon equivalent of fatass, and then he got crispy-fried for plot reasons. Greentalon was mentioned once, in the letter that is best remembered for revealing Fierceteeth was hit with the children beam, and just wants to plant. (Also, his vitiligo was meant to resemble a skull mask on his face, but I'm not sure if it came across.) Truly, some of the NightWings of all time.
