haha albatross you are murdering my family

The world's worst siblings

I have lore surrounding red highlights on SeaWings that I plan to divulge into at a later post. But basically, Albatross and Lagoon's grandmother was a deep-sea SeaWing and some of her traits were passed down to her children and descendants, this is also why I plan to give Anemone pink highlights, as that gene is still in the royal family but over generations has faded

Why Albatross is one of the most sympathetic villains in Wings of Fire

Wings of Fire has a lot of sympathetic villains from Peril, Darkstalker, Arctic, and Icicle. But there’s also many full on evil villains, like Queen Scarlet, Vulture, and Queen Battlewinner. 

Now, it’s pretty easy to see why those three are completely horrible with no redeeming qualities. Scarlet tortures innocent dragons, Vulture has a tattoo of every dragon he’s killed, Battlewinner sanctioned the RainWing kidnappings. 

But I know one villain who’s probably even worse than all of them, not in brutality, but in abuse. 

Queen Lagoon. 

T/W: a brief mention of SA

Let’s start with Albatross’s backstory. He was the younger brother of Lagoon and Sapphire, both of whom were abusive as fuck. 

Albatross had no idea he was an animus dragon. No one could’ve known! That was an IceWing thing only at the time. 

So, Sapphire and Lagoon would spend their days, mentally abusing Albatross, telling him he was just a prince, that he was nothing and useless since he can’t ascend to the throne. (I think it’s interesting to note that even centuries later, the SeaWing royal family still harbors that same belief and is why all of Coral’s sons were neglected)

And then there was the fateful day. 

Albatross was just playing on the beach with some clams and seashells, having fun. He was a kid. Lagoon and Sapphire came over and began to steal the objects from him, telling him that when one of them becomes queen, they’re going to make sure he has nothing. No treasure, no personal items, not even shells washed up on the beach. 

I can only imagine the emotions stirring in Albatross and out of instinct as a means of self defense, his instinctual animus magic defense breaks out and, without knowing why, he ordered the clams to tear Sapphire’s claws off, crippling her for the rest of her life. Albatross didn’t mean to do this, either. It was instinct as a means of self defending himself. And Lagoon used this gruesome event to her advantage. She constantly hung this over his head. ��Oh, Arctic, how could you not cast this spell for me? I thought you wanted to make up for your mistake and use your magic for good.”

Albatross was a kid when this happened, probably 9-10 in human years. And she used this against him until he was old enough to have a grandson who’s probably around 12-13 years old in human years. That is horrible!!

And not to mention we know nothing about that time in between. We know he has a daughter that he cares about, meaning he had a mate at some point. But notice how she’s never mentioned. Why? Why isn’t Fathom’s grandmother/Albatross’s mate ever mentioned? Well.. what if it wasn’t a mating out of love? What if Lagoon forced Albatross to mate so he can have animus children?

That would be probably one of the worst things a character from WoF has ever done, if that’s the case. And it would be entirely in character for Lagoon. She controls everything about Albatross’s life. I wouldn’t be surprised if she also controlled who he mated with. 

That would be a form of SA. If this is true.. guys, I don’t think we could ever even deny the fact that Lagoon is one of the worst characters in this series. 

We can tell Albatross loves his daughter. So it wouldn’t be too outlandish if Albatross also loved Fathom, but he never got to spend time with him, always too busy being forced to do work for Lagoon. 

But now he and Fathom get to spend time together. But, sadly, it’s under poor circumstances. Why?

Fathom is an animus. 

But why is this bad? Because now Albatross has to compete with his own grandson. Albatross has spent his whole life being told he was nothing without Lagoon. That he could only make up for his mistakes by working for her. But now, over the years, he’s been getting more resentful over some of the spells she wants. He’s becoming old and bitter over her abuse, which is fair. But it’s also making Lagoon impatient. And now she has Fathom, and she makes sure Albatross knows that. She now uses the fact that he now has a replacement has a way to mentally abuse Albatross. 

And if you want more proof of the way Lagoon abuses Albatross, read this letter from Guide to the Dragon World:

This is just dripping with passive aggression and threats. “When I find my next animus, I'll make sure that they're trained quickly and maybe I won't need you anymore.” This is her threatening him, telling him she won’t need him anymore, that he won’t be of use once they find the next animus. 

After years of telling him “You’re mine. You’re nothing. You have to work for me or you are useless,” now he’s being threatened to be thrown out. 

She tells Albatross about how she wants spells to kill off any potential threats to her throne, that including his own daughter. Albatross says he’s not very enthused about that spell. She tells him it’s good he’s not her only animus dragon, essentially threatening to not only replace him, but also find any way to kill his daughter, since Fathom is a bit easier to control, especially since he’s so young. 

Now read Lagoon’s final words before Albatross slices her throat:

“Do you think you’re done? Do you think you’ll ever be done atoning what you did to Sapphire? It’s not going to end, Albatross. You’ll always be mine.”

If that is not a sign of her being pure evil, a horrible abuser, I don’t know what is. 

And she doesn’t actually care what Albatross did to Sapphire. She’s just using it as a way to abuse Albatross. We know this because just moments before, Fathom was wondering what horrible thing Lagoon would do to Indigo if he acted against her. Everyone knows that she’s abusive, that she’s violent and will do anything and hurt anyone to control someone. 

Is it any surprise that Albatross snapped? 

He killed his sister, the one who’d been abusing him his whole life. He killed the SkyWings, who said they should’ve killed him when the SeaWings learned he was an animus. And he killed the rest of the tribe, since they all just sat back and let him be abused, let him be used. 

But, behind it all, his murder spree is because Lagoon. It’s all about Lagoon. It’s always been about Lagoon. 

We can see this when he’s hunting down Fathom. He’s not saying “I can’t wait to kill you, I’ve always hated you.” Instead, he’s saying:

“You know I could kill you from a distance. It would barely take a thought. But you’ve been such a thorn in my side the last few years. Every chance she got. ‘I don’t really need you anymore. Perhaps Fathom will be better at this than you are. You’re so expendable now that I have a replacement. What a pathetic creature you are, little brother, with your tiny teeth and oddly colored scales. Fathom is so much more presentable than you are.’”

The only reason he hates Fathom is because of Lagoon. The only reason Albatross is so far gone is because of Lagoon. Albatross probably would’ve loved Fathom, genuinely, had a real bond with him. But he wasn’t even given that pleasure. He wasn’t allowed to enjoy anything in his life. Things that should be happy in his life were tainted to be horrible and life ruining by his sister. 

Albatross was a broken man who was abused his whole life. It’s no surprise things turned out the way they did.

Drawing Random WoF Characters - Princess Splash

Spoilers for Legends: Darkstalker ahead!

Princess Splash was one of nine dragons killed by Albatross during the Royal Seawing Massacre. She was the daughter of Queen Lagoon and King Humpback. It's theorized that Princess Splash was planning on taking the throne, since when Queen Lagoon suggested an animus-touched object that would remove or negate any threats to her, Princess Splash seemed taken aback. She was quite brave; she tried to kill Albatross immediately when he started his attack. She is somewhat known in modern dragon society, having been mentioned in a scroll Moonwatcher read, The Animus Histories.

This drawing is from October of 2023, and unfortunately there is no process video up on my tiktok, as i forgot to film any of it :')

Unsorted WOF thoughts part 96:

Animus Dragons ranked in order of how bad their most malicious spell was (Decided by how many dragons got hurt, how badly they got hurt, and how much they had it coming).

Note: In this post, malice is defined as how much they want to watch someone suffer.

The order I put these in might be subject to change. This list is made mostly for fun as a thought experiment of sorts.

Edit: In light of a relatively simple argument, I've changed Darkstalker's postition. My original argument was that his plague spell was cast out of malice, but not as much pure malice as the knife spell. Though, I now agree that because his intention was to wipe out an entire tribe, that puts the plague spell over the knife spell.

Jerboa III: Encasing the original Jerboa in ice forever. She super-duper deserved it.

Turtle: Repeatedly beating Chameleon over the head with the talisman. He deserved it.

Arctic: This is a bit of a weird one. He, for sure, had worse intentions in mind, but out of the spells we've actually seen him cast, controlling Whiteout was his most malicious, and, thankfully, nothing bad actually came from that.

Anemone: Anemone was going mad by the time she tried to crush Turtle with that boulder, so I think her most intentionally malicious spell instead was repeatedly beating Moon over the head with a broom.

Jerboa: In all honesty, Jerboa was a worse person than Darkstalker (not exactly an easy feat), but her most knowingly malicious spell was her final spell. Don't get me wrong, it was an evil fucking spell, but Jerboa III was the only one who got hurt, putting it lower than the others.

Diamond: The Diamond Trials. Foeslayer didn't deserve it, and it ended up freezing to death a great many presumably undeserving members of IceWing royalty. (For simplicity, I'm counting it as just one spell because I do what I want.)

Stonemover: We don't know how on-board he was with creating those portals, but they're his only spells we've heard of. They were created with the intention of invading the RainWings, which led to the kidnapping and torture of an unspecified number of them. I think torture might be worse than murder, but I'm open to other opinions. There's also the argument that the RainWings were eventually set free, but I still think that the long-term psychological effects may have been bad enough to justify this placement. But if there's enough disagreement, I will most likely bump it down below the mass-murders committed on this list.

Albatross: The SeaWing Massacre. Lagoon deserved it, but it's impossible to tell if the same applied to all the other SeaWings or the SkyWing royalty. Not to mention the lasting effects that it had on the remaining two members of the SeaWing royal family, ruining their relationship for life and putting them both in permanent positions that neither of them were ready to bear. Albatross was also going mad at the time, but I think he was aware enough that he knew what he was doing.

Darkstalker: I think that because his intention was to completely eradicate an entire tribe, that makes the IceWing plague his most malicious spell. Genocide is one of the worst crimes that an individual can commit. And while he didn't even get close to wiping out the entirety of the IceWing Kingdom, he did succeed in slowly killing a huge chunk of it, including their reigning queen. He set them back quite a bit with the total body count, as well as giving the remaining survivors potentially lifelong PTSD. It was, by far, one of the worst actions ever committed in the series as it stands now.

Doodle of Albatross and his granddaughter

Granddaughter is an OC! One of my first, in fact!

Biiiig infodump under cut

Her name is Sapphire, accidentally sharing the name of Albatross's sister

My first iteration of her was an Animus princess that had universe-jumping abilities/discovered that her magic went beyond the reaches of her reality (Had this idea so that she could be an OC in any fandom/become a sona). This idea was probably when I was roughly 10-11. She was childish and stubborn.

In this iteration she discovered that she could "teleport" during the Seawing Massacre, wishing that she was anywhere safe as a knife sent by Albatross was stabbing her in the face (it didn't go very deep)

She looked something like this afterwards (I never made a reference :/):

As I used her more often I realized that I had no idea what her personality was and how she dealt with her abilities

I then decided that she eventually became cold and manipulative, treating the inhabitants in each universe as playthings, seeing how things turned out if she did this or that a specific way, before getting bored and moving on.

This version of Sapphire kind of disappeared when I started working on developing a Wings of Fire/Hunger Games-esque AU called the Flare Trials, where dragons in districts had their wings removed at hatching so as to leave them less able to revolt and fight the winged dragons of the Capitol. Tributes and the Games were initially developed as a means to both entertain dragons in the Capitol and incite fear and hopelessness in district dragons in watching young dragons fight to the death without any opportunity for a dragonet to survive. Eventually it was amended so that one district of dragonets could "win" and be granted wings and fame. Sapphire came in because she was the protagonist and won. Almost every other WoF OC I have came from this AU

Animus "Canon" Sapphire and weak Flare Trials Sapphire kind of merged for a while, but when I stopped working on the AU Animus Sapphire became separate again, though I didn't do anything with her until pretty much just now bc I fell into a Harry Potter phase (oof) and then into the OMORI phase I'm in now.

As I drew the doodle with Albatross today I had a thought of a version of Sapphire that could possibly be more solid? Sapphire looked up to Albatross heavily, aspiring to be just like him and was unwaveringly supportive and loyal to him. Albatross eventually opened up to Sapphire about how he was treated, confiding in her about how he is unappreciated and generally abused by his family (Queen Lagoon). Sapphire responded with righteous anger towards her grandmother, insisting that Albatross shouldn't let everyone bully him anymore. This inadvertently leads to the massacre. Sometime in between, however, Albatross, planning out the massacre, gives Sapphire Animus magic mostly experimentally, intending for her to help in the massacre and to aid in killing her brother (Fathom), Albatross's replacement (threat). Unfortunately for him, Sapphire is horrified by his plan and refuses to go along with his commands during the massacre, trying to dissuade Albatross before eventually fleeing after he lost patience with her and sent a knife flying into her face as she commanded her crown to keep her alive as fast as she could, though she still ended up scarred after her brush with death. Afterwards, she lived undercover, the crown she bore keeping her alive indefinitely. I don't have much else of an idea right now but uhh Darkstalker sized Seawing that is old as dirt and wrinkly 😁

Thanks for reading this infodump. As is evidenced, I love talking about my OCs! (All of them)

Please ask me about them or tell me to stop idk
