#not wyrmclan

[pactwyrm]

i like to think that before frixel gets together fritz is terrified bc he doesnt feel like he deserves vixel while vixel is.. pretty sure they both have feelings for each other but is more worried abt fritz getting bored and leaving

bc vixel is generally pretty good at reading peoples emotions so i dont think he doubted fritzs feelings at first but i think he has abandonment issues bc of lucretia showing up in the choir and taking everyones attention away from him...

i wanted to write a fic abt this idea but i think at this point im too lazy so 😔 i think it would be nice if fritz consoled him by like, showing him that the daggers he uses were from his thief days despite annelie offering to buy him new ones

fritz is probably a bit offended that vixel thinks hes the type to get bored of people easily but its kinda understandable (lol) but i like that throughout fritz's story he grows to accept his past but also. put it aside

So, I did it again and got caught up thinking about some Wyrmclan cats, today's subject being Daisypaw who I have Feelings about and grieving is complicated when you're in his position so @wyrm-clangen pls feel free to let me know if I've totally missed the mark or anything but... yeah. I wrote another drabble.

“C’mooon Daisypaw, I haven’t gotten you sick? Why can’t I go see them???” Daisypaw rolled his eyes above the mask, careful not to let Ivyshine see as he sifted through the herbs in the carrier Ferretlily had given him to bring to the quarantine tunnels. Sparrowlight was wheezing a little as he laughed, and Daisypaw saw Wingpaw, settling into her nest carefully, smile a little at her uncle’s antics. 

“You haven’t gotten me sick because Ferret and I cleanse thoroughly every time we leave this den and we’re both relatively healthy. Raggedspeckle just gave birth and the kits were just born so they can’t fight off illness nearly as well.” He responded, refusing to play in to the older tom’s nonsense, but regretted his shortness a little as he heard Ivyshine flop back into his nest and saw the sickly warrior droop in genuine sadness. “Turtlefreckle will be watching over her, and Icyclaw has been sleeping outside the nursery every night. You focus on getting healthy so you can get back sooner.” Daisypaw sighed as he turned back, nudging the slender black warrior with the hard surface of his mask. He turned away again when Ivyshine’s wet eyes looked up at him, seeming like he was ramping up for another round of dramatics. 

“Don’t worry so much, Ivy, my littermates are watching out for her too!” Wingpaw mewed, her voice was hoarse from her coughing and while she was obviously trying to use her usual energetic nature to reassure, Daisypaw could tell the younger cat was exhausted. He made sure she took the lungwort and feverfew, hoping dosing her more heavily would help her fight off the yellowcough that had managed to sneak up on them. Thank Starclan none of her littermates or denmates had become ill as well. Between her and Sparrowlight, Ivyshine had been mollified, and Daisypaw gave the patients a final check before gathering up their supplies and slipping from the quarantine tunnel. 

He hadn’t been joking about the cleansing, Daisypaw entered the tunnel to the cold underground river with only a little dread. The water was frigid, and clung to his pelt worse than the sap that had gotten stuck in his fur when Rookrise took him to gather pine needles.

Daisypaw carefully ignored the pang of pain that thinking about Mom brought. She’d been looking for more feverfew with Rattail and Willowdew one day and then… none of them had come back. It had been the kits all over again, search parties scoured the territory for them, but no one knew where they’d gone. Daisy had been trying not to think too hard about it, Ferret had told him it wasn’t his fault they weren’t found. That him being on the search patrols probably wouldn’t have changed anything. 

It was easier said than believed. 

Daisypaw shook the water from his pelt, taking off his new clean mask and rinsing the inside before leaving it to dry next to Ferretlily’s own, and padded tiredly back up the tunnel towards the main cavern. The faint light from outside filtering down reassured him he hadn’t lost the entire day in the quarantine tunnel so he set off through the varying burrows searching for his mentor. 

Most of the apprentices were out training, he knew, the mentors had decided to keep everyone as busy as possible. Something about idle paws, Daisypaw didn’t really pay attention. The only one that really mattered was Bluepaw, to be honest. Turtlefreckle had been keeping Bluepaw extra busy, now that his own litter were apprentices, and Daisypaw knew his brother’s mentor was trying to keep his own mind off of the yellowcough outbreak as much as Bluepaw’s. He only saw the new apprentice, Goldpaw or whatever his name was, hanging out with Sunpaw and Midnightpaw. The two younger apprentices had been on dawn patrol that morning, so Daisypaw supposed it made sense that the three were here, talking about something or another over a rabbit and a shrew. Sunpaw gave him a small smile and waved his tail, but Daisypaw… well he couldn’t really bring himself to care as he passed the other young cats. He saw the brown apprentice’s tail flop back down from his periphery before he was into another set of tunnels, following the freshest hint of Ferretlily’s scent under everyone else’s. 

“... can’t keep pushing them this hard. The fact Wingpaw got sick so suddenly makes me wonder if she was too run down to fight the illness off.” He heard his mentor’s voice from the leader’s den, and settled himself to sit outside politely. “I know leaf bare has been harsh, but we can’t afford more of the healthier young cats getting sick.”

“You’re right. I’ll talk with the mentors later, see if we can set a better schedule.” Fiercechasm’s voice then. “Give them some rest time.”

“Thank you. I’ll try and do the same with Daisypaw, I’m worried he’ll run himself ragged.” Daisypaw frowned, flicking an ear in annoyance. Ferret was always fussing. “He’s not taking the time to process anything… sometimes I wish I had an excuse to send him out with the other apprentices, but with Rookrise gone I can’t spare him.” Daisypaw felt that annoyance fade a little at the guilt and tiredness if Ferretlily’s voice. He knew, objectively, he should be sadder than he was. Mom being missing. Mama and Panther dying last moon. But he just… didn’t. 

“Has he talked to Zuva?” Fiercechasm was asking, and that bit of annoyance was back. He didn’t need a mediator, besides, what was Zuva going to do? Bring his moms and sister back? This wasn’t something the old molly could fix like a spat over the last bass on the fresh kill pile. 

“No, and he gets irritated every time I ask.”

“Same with Bluepaw, Turtlefreckle has been trying, but now that Wingpaw is sick… I don’t want them to isolate more.” Daisypaw scoffed. Then realized both voices from the leader’s den had gone quiet. 

“... Daisy, I know you’re out there. Come on, we need to talk.” He sighed, but got to his paws and padded in to the den. Fiercechasm was looking a little uncomfortable, sitting to one side, but Ferret just looked tired. “Eavesdropping?”

“Was looking for you, figured I’d wait till you were done, didn’t really care about the conversation at first.” He muttered as he sat opposite her. Ferretlily didn’t hold the same intimidation factor his mother had, Hornetrise could make a rogue back down with a single look purely based on size alone, but he’d be lying if he said he wasn’t a little uncomfortable under Ferretlily’s assessing eye. She always seemed to see right through him. 

“... you know that’s part of why I’m worried, right?” Daisypaw nodded, feeling his ears droop a little without his permission. “I’m not mad at you, Daisy, but this not caring and only being around Bluepaw or me, it’s not healthy.” Daisypaw frowned. What did Ferretlily know? Did she lose both her parents and her only sister over the course of two moons? Daisypaw’s irritation sparked into anger.

“Who says it’s not? You? Fiercechasm? Zuva?” His tone wasn’t kind, and he saw the way Fiercechasm startled.

“Yes, yes, and yes. Daisypaw you aren’t the first cat to lose ones important to them.” Ferretlily started, her own irritation seeping in to his voice, and Daisypaw pinned his ears. 

“So they get to say how I should handle it?”

“No, but you can’t just pretend the rest of the clan doesn’t exist-”

“Are you giving Midnightpaw the same lecture? He’s only really hanging out with Sunpaw and the Heartclan reject-”

“Daisypaw!”

“Enough.” Fiercechasm didn’t snap, didn’t shout, but her voice cut through their argument just the same and Daisypaw felt a little shame at the disappointment in the deputy’s eyes. “Ferretlily, maybe you should go get some air.” The senior healer frowned at the younger cat, but nodded and left nonetheless, leaving Daisypaw with the silent deputy across the leader’s den from him.

“... I’m not going to go play moss ball with the kits and pretend everything is ok.” He muttered after a moment, scowling down and to the side to avoid looking at her.

“I know.”

“And I’m not gonna go cry and pretend it will make it better.”

“Because it won’t.” Daisypaw startled, then, looking up at Fiercechasm and seeing her expression soften. “Pretending everything is ok and wallowing in sadness won’t make it better. But neither will pretending you’re a loner in a camp full of clanmates who love you.” The two of them sat quietly for a bit, only the faint sounds of one of the patrols coming back breaking the heavy silence, before Daisypaw finally heaved a sigh and let his hackles drop.

“I don’t want it to hurt like that again.” He mewed, and it felt a little better to say it, and even better when Fiercechasm nodded in agreement. 

“I know. But holding everyone a taillength away won’t make it hurt any less when you lose one of them. I tried that, and it still hurt just as bad.” Daisypaw watched the deputy as she seemed to stare at something he couldn’t see, and wondered which of their lost clanmates she was remembering. 

“When Plum died, I shut down, didn’t want to be around anyone. Some days I could barely look at Sparrow and Swift knowing that they were all that was left of her, other days I clung to them like they were my last link to life… then Duskpaw was struck on the Thunderpath. And even though I thought I’d given up on opening my heart to the rest of the clan, losing her was like prodding an open wound. Watching Rattail and his kits mourn, then watching them do it all over again when we lost Seed to the twolegs the next moon? I realized that hiding away and pretending I didn’t care wasn’t protecting my heart. It was just hurting the ones I cared about.” Fiercechasm looked back at him, and Daisypaw was surprised to see her smile, even if it was tinged with sadness. “I know how tempting it is to hide away and pretend you don’t care. But there are cats who care about you. I know Swish has been worried, he can take Bluepaw on patrol when Turtle lets him, but you’re hidden away in the quarantine tunnel… Maybe start there?” Daisypaw felt another wave of guilt. He knew their older brother had been hurt too, but he’d assumed since Swishbeam was with Eddymist he wouldn’t care. Knowing that Swish had been trying… a little bit of warmth seeped back into his chest at that. 

“... Thanks Fierce. And sorry for yelling.”

“If you need to yell and be mad, that’s ok Daisypaw, but know that your clanmates are here for you. If you want to be mad or get out of the burrows for a bit to do something that isn’t looking for herbs, just ask.” Daisypaw nodded and gave a weak smile as he slunk out of the den, noting Riftstar standing further from the den in a way that told him the leader had heard, but wanted to give them privacy. He turned a little to give Daisypaw that gentle smile he always did before heading in to talk to Fiercechasm.

“Daisypaw?” He startled a little, looking up at Sunpaw as he approached. Midnightpaw and Goldenpaw were still near the apprentice’s den, but the quiet brown apprentice was looking at him in worry. “I know it’s kind of silly to ask if you’re ok, because I know I’m still not okay about Mom, Heron and Burdock, but… do you want to come sit with us? Goldenpaw was telling us some Heartclan stories, and you always told really good stories when you would watch me in the quarantine tunnel.” Daisypaw blinked, a little surprised, looked between Sunpaw and the other two apprentices watching them before that bit of warmth he’d felt talking to Fiercechasm came back. He didn’t fight the little smile that came to him as he nodded, seeing Sunpaw’s expression light up before they went to join the other two apprentices. He told himself he’d swap stories until Bluepaw got home. But by the time his brother joined them, not only was he in the midst of telling the younger apprentices about the time Ferretlily had started an argument with Agavepelt of Nightingaleclan in the middle of a Gathering that had led to a three-clan screeching match and ended the Gathering early. 

“Good to see you out of the tunnels, Daisy.” Bluepaw mewed, tucking up next to him and giving his own tired smile. Bluepaw didn’t sleep well these days, dreams filling with howls and snarls where Daisypaw’s were haunted by coughing and gasping, but with the rest of the apprentices settling around them, Daisypaw wondered if maybe, just maybe, they’d be okay. It wasn’t okay now, but it might be, someday.

Dragalia Lost in GBA Fire Emblem: Hinomoto Wyrmclan Leaders + Retainers. Happy (EST) 2025!

[pactwyrm]

interesting thing abt the apostles they all have quite a lot of lines about the goddess/praying/faith etc except for regina.. she mentions she came from a research facility so ig she didnt rly grow up w the church but its still surprising considering her position

to me it just feels like it really confirms that shes only here to see origa again..... 🥲 and she has a lot of lines about the apostles themselves, considering their background from the character story it makes me emo

like i think the things she says about them to pinon makes their relationship still sound professional(?) but from the other quest dialogue u can tell she thinks about them a lot.. ahuhu smth about big sister instincts o<-<

In other words, thoughts and prayers to the HornetRise family

Swordswoman showdown Round 1 Part 1

Nobunaga (Dragalia Lost) vs Windblade (Transformers

(Better here in a "preferred character" sense, not "who would win in a fight")

Propaganda below cut

Nobunaga

she's the leader of a wyrmclan and a candidate for shogun. she has an ambition bright enough to inspire even the laziest of wyrmclan leaders, and seeks to bring her country into a new era free of the shackles of its stuffy old traditions; she deserves it because she's so passionate and strong-willed. also she can dispel enemy buffs with her force strike when she has a combo of 15 or higher

She's got two of them on hand at all times and can use them in combination with a cute little fan attack to, uh, set people on fire. (Don't ask.); One of the strongest lesbians I know. ...Coincidentally, most of the other ones are also Dragalia Lost characters.

she wield sword and she's one of the 12 wyrmclan leaders based on the chinese zodiac (she's the horse) and her dream is to conquer the world to create peace; I like Dragalia Lost

she sword and she horse; her girlfriend is a mouse

Windblade

She was voted on by the fans as part of the first ever Fan Built Bot poll! She was voted to have swords as her signature weapon, and oh boy does she. While some aspects of that poll had been dropped or reworked, she is well-known for her sword prowess.; Honestly haven't seen MUCH of the media with Windblade in it, but she immediately came to mind as Transformers rep. And if I can submit a Transformers character to a poll, you bet I will! She's cool.

Official character that was made in a series of fan polls. The community gave her yhe sword :)

she has a sword as a main weapon in most media!; she's pretty and i like her :3 plane girl

[haven-clan]

Do you think you'll ever do a crossover with Wyrmclan and Havenclan in a comic?

I mean, probably nothing serious lol I imagine that HavenClan are water locked and have the run of some island out in the middle of nowhere, but now I'm just imagining Riftstar popping his head out of the ground like Bugs Buggy.

'Ah shit, took a wrong turn at the fork.'

'Yo WHAT THE FUCK-'

[satsuha]

sorry i'm having intense wyrmclan leader brainrot again. i was thinking about this chart i made and i really..... mourn the interactions we missed between certain leaders...

would've LOVED to see yukimura and yoshitsune interact, i feel like they paired yuki with shingen as a sort of "old meets new" but yoshitsune pushes that dynamic even further ?! at the same time yoshitsune is so... youthful that i feel like she would match yuki's energy really well... this goes for nobunaga as well 🥹 i like how energetic and spirited the wyrmclan girls tend to be then you have mitsuhide who's at the polar opposite end of the spectrum

also no surprise that i really wanted to see seimei and ieyasu interact directly (they're. in the same room in a couple of stories but don't address each other) because it's just really fascinating to me how opposites they are... i don't think seimei would treat ieyasu very differently from how he treated euden but maybe he has more respect for him since ieyasu hasn't yknow fucked up badly at something yet...

seimei and yuki has really nice potential too like yuki does mention seimei in her story but since hers is about learning from the other leaders i would've loved to see seimei in a reluctant mentor role... i guess it feels too similar to his dynamic with kuzunoha?

i also just find it really fascinating how you can. very clearly draw a line between the leaders introduced in the first two events and the latter two because ieyasu, mitsuhide and nobunaga all seem to have had somewhat cushy lives and had no major incidents regarding their ascension to their leader roles meanwhile seimei accidentally gets his entire organization killed and almost offs himself trying to fix things, yoshitsune is betrayed by her brother and almost dies until she gets TURNED IMMORTAL against her will, shingen staged a coup against his father (and brother?) and yukimura's mere existence caused conflict between two clans and also grew up forcibly locked up by her own family. like the tonal shift between a clawful caper (mitsuhide event) and cursed connections (seimei event) is still so insane to me??

but i think that's why some relationships like shingen and yoshitsune, seimei and yukimura are so interesting to think about for me because they have somewhat similar situations but ended up as very different people... shingen and yoshitsune in particular are really nice to think about because they were both caught up in an inheritance struggle but while shingen was someone who fought for his title because he believed his father (and by extension brother?) to be unworthy of it, yoshitsune only takes the title as a means to an end once her brother's bloodline ends...

i also just like the idea of seimei viewing ieyasu as this kind of idealized wyrmclan leader who is doomed to fail. like it's definitely projection on his part but ieyasu doesn't seem like he's ever been in any real danger or struggles and seimei is simultaneously envious and condescending about it... but that's also why i find it so interesting that they both have no ambitions to become shogun but it feels like for ieyasu that's because he has a bigger dream but for seimei it's because he's content where he is now...

AUGH sorry i'm insane. i'm insane about the wyrmclan leaders but i'll shut up. for now
