on the topic of angel wings

I and a few others I write with have quite a few headcanons on how angel wings work and the culture surrounding them, so I figured I'd share because I want to know more people's thoughts too!

------- 'Default' Colours Typically, angels manifest with blue wings, like Gabriel and all the Virtues we see. However an angel's wings can be any colour and any combination, but the further away from blue you get, the rarer the presentation is. So something like purple is probably fairly uncommon, but reds and oranges or particularly monochrome black or white is quite rare, but not much is entirely unheard of. Generally, as angels age, their wings grow more and more vibrant, so the oldest angels tend to be the ones with the most striking colours. This is not always true, but tends to be the case.

------- Emotional Colours Like people, the way an angel's wings shift is unique to the individual. Some change drastically in colour like Gabriel's gold, others barely show anything unless losing control of their emotions. Generally I like to think that Council angels in particular have a very good control of their visible emotions, so their wings do not tend to shift colours often, and if they do, it's usually a practised and deliberate move.

------- Touching Wings It's pretty disrespectful to just touch someone's wings without warning or permission. Angels are often quite proud of the way their wings look, so having someone disturb the feathers or projection is very very intrusive and disrespectful. Preening is an intimate bonding activity between angels who are close, so it's quite the honour to be invited to preen someone's wings, or to have someone accept your request to preen theirs.

------- Fighting As such regarding the last point, it's seen as INCREDIBLY taboo and dirty to go for an angel's wings during a fight. It is only done by those who are desperate and cheap, which probably makes for an interesting contrast with V1 who, while it values its own wings, does not follow the same conventions as Gabriel when fighting him. Part of this is also because the wings are an extension of an angel's power, so heavy damage to them can be pretty heavy threat.

------- Docking of Wings One of the worst punishments the Council can give is using divine weaponry to sever an angel's wings from them. This is basically the worst of the worst version of getting your Light ripped from you. The lesser version is having flight feathers clipped as a reminder, but it's a deliberately painful punishment and is done in a way that is difficult to mask.

------- Dyeing This is a supposedly uncommon practice, initially started as body art, but now used in secret by many angels to dye their wings temporarily to help obscure their emotions. Some still do it for the enjoyment of art, like body painting, though in contrast many view it as a desecration of the body.

@t-rexdescendant @randomixthegreat-blog @frostaxolotl ty for the help with writin these up, it's good to have em in one place DSFGFDS if anyone else has stuff to add or discuss id love to hear it, hcs abt culture surrounding the angels is one of my fav things to think abt

Woe, my passion project be upon ye-

And that's it! For Now!!

Thank you so much for reading and i hope it comes in handy for any of your wingies needs :3 This took me... a While, more than it should've, but is finally here! And maybe i've been slacking a little on the tagging for this blog specifically, but i recommend besides reading all of this, to go check my Guides tag, as i'm missing a few little things here and there that i couldn't for the life of me find a way to explain, and i've already re-done this Way too much for my liking o(-(

But you can also just go around this blog to get some inspiration :o I got a Lot of different wing styles here, and again i gotta go back to tagging (and fix my blog web theme, don't worry about it—) but other than that, you're free to explore this lil blog of mine

Two last things—First, i did all of this for free, i want it to reach as many people as possible (which is why soon-ish i'll translate the entirety of it to spanish and add image descriptions to both versions, i need a break....), but if you liked this enough and would like to leave a lil' tip on my kofi (@/rainbowpinyata), i would appreciate it a lot... Second, my inbox is always open if you or someone you know is in need of a more in-dept explanation on any of the parts of this, as i had to resume most of the info, or just needs a little bit of advice. I'm gonna explain wings Much more than i already have on the next part, but that... is going to take a bit, so...

Anyways, many thanks to my friends for always being there for me, i don't think i would've gone past the first draft or the many others after that without their encouragement, suggestions and general help with keeping me going. It means everything to me.

Also, click for better quality pls, the pages are pretty big but... this site....

Fallen Angel Gabriel anyone?👀

More info under the cut

After his second defeat at the hands of V1, and having been stopped before killing the Council, Gabriel is condamned to a fate worse than death. Deprived of his holy light, he is now stuck in Hell as a Fallen Angel.

He can no longer fly and moves about aimlessly, dragging his wings along on the ground - like a constant, painful reminder of his failure.

He hunts V1 down with far more spite than before, seeking revenge. However, the chase is mutual, as the machine is also hunting him for blood. They battle whenever they meet but, despite his pitiful state, his instinct always forces him to flee before his ultimate elimination.

I know Gabriel is canonically really popular with Heaven’s residents but there’s bound to be some heavenly loser with pronoun envy
