Day 16 of Wof-tober: Iconic scene/character!

Decided to do Glory breaking free of the chains in book 1, thought it was really cool :]

The shading is kinda lazy as I really should be going to bed right now, but whatever I’ll live :3

[willoillo]

I uh. Might have gotten a liiiiiittle too into rendering on this one.

Daily dragon!! Today's @wof-october-prompts was Book 16 predictions but instead my brain went "Arc 3 predictions" instead when I started sketching it so I feel like this is more of a book 17 or 18 thing...? Anyway Mink and Dusky sneaking into the Icewing forbidden treasury.

Originally it was just gonna be Mink but I decided it'd be more fun to have another dragon in the scene, and @sombrathedragon suggested Dusky!!

if I turned the ror arcs into actual books would anyone read ‘em? (Keep in mind that unlike wof, my au is very much 16+ at times-)

[talonsandtails]

I have some wof news to report on! I’m currently attending the North Texas Book Festival!

Might have more later as I’m planning on attending a meet and greet and I have a few questions written but anyways

Next three graphic novels are being worked on at the same time

Darkstalker graphic novel is coming out

Book 16 is confirmed

Sky and peril will meet, and they will realize they are siblings.

One of the original protags will be the pov character again in book 16

[retzuki]

New wings of fire news! :3

I'm pretty surenthis means a new tribe but not 100% sure!

[jellyfishsandwich2333]

WoF Arc 4 Predicitons!

I am 90% sure that Sora will be the protagonist of book 16. Additionally, there will be a skywing, leafwing, hivewing, and rainwing protagonist. I think that most of these will be characters that we haven't met before, or maybe have heard of but haven't had a large role so far.

I do not think that Sky will be a protagonist. This is because Tui said that she wants to give a winglet to Peril and Sky, and I think that means that Sky will probably not get his own main series book.

More to come!

Links to buy those official wof keychain that i recently found about !

So- my post got a lot of people wanting to buy those keychains, so here are links to all of the ones sold online that i found. Keep in mind that those are just sold by people who got them in a library, this isn’t amazon or anything, these are sold by individuals who only have one !

You also need to know that, as those only were given out in metropolitan France (from what i know, maybe non-metropolitan too), the people that are selling them all lives there, and might not be able to ship them where you live or that might be a bit more expensive for you depending on where you live.

I marked the currency in euros since its the french currency, but you can use a converter if you use another currency.

At last, those people are French and speak french, so they might not understand or speak English very well, please be nice with them :)

Links for the sundew keychain :

Vinted links :

10€

———

16€ (This second one is more expensive because it is also sold with the first book, but if you ask the person, maybe they will accept to just sell you the keychain!)

Leboncoin links :

https://www.leboncoin.fr/ad/collection/2600839297

(9€)

I couldn’t find any for the Clay one and the Tsunami one sadly :(

When i found out about those i instantly bought them, but it seems like i bought the only ones being sold on those websites. But keep an eye out, somebody might decide to sell theirs in the future :)

i’ll share the link if i find a new one in the future ! Take care, hope you’ll enjoy the keychain if you decide to buy one !

<Thoughts on previous reblog

No disrespect to OP but the tonal shift/inconsistency might've shaken them to lead to that critique. I see some of what they were getting at but I never had a feeling that the show was saying that 'now that Robbie and Mo have powers, they must be responsible for every adult around them'. That's a bit extreme to me. And ESPECIALLY their thoughts on the violence of the show.

(It's a long read)

Jawbreaker has been remarked on before on not really understanding social cues at times which leads to him roughhousing with Grimlock and causing him to have an outburst. It's neither of their fault in that situation, if anyone I would blame Elita for not pulling Jawbreaker aside and explaining him Grimlock's situation. She did practically benched Jawbreaker aside for he 'could cause more trouble' before running off to stop Grimlock with Hashtag. When JB said 'it's all my fault', she said 'we'll discuss this later'. I don't blame her, it was a time tight situation, but JB may take those words too much to heart; he really does blame himself for Grimlock's rampage. Maybe there could've been a scene where Elita ACTUALLY discussed what happened with Jawbreaker, maybe apologize and tell him that it wasn't his fault but the episode ends abruptly. Maybe there WAS a scene like that somewhere in the drafts but we all know that TFE has a lot of cut content. I would criticize that aspect.

BUT nowhere else did I ever feel that the kids have a responsibility for the adults around them or how they effect them. Earthspark is sort of a 'chosen one' narrative, Quintus Prime CHOSE Mo and Robby to be the legacy of hope of the Terrans. He gave them powers to fight alongside their Terran siblings.

It's more of a kid's power fantasy than anything saying 'kids should have responsibility for the adults around them', which leads me into critiquing OP's critique of the darkness and mature themes of the show.

Again, no disrespect but I don't think OP understands how kids that age (8-15 as OP has stated to be the likely demographic) actually act like and what their likes and dislikes gravitate to. They don't understand that kids those age are going to be curious and contemplating morbid and mature topics. As they get older they'd want to been seen less as kids and more like mature adults (even though they aren't). So they will naturally be more interested in more darker/mature topics; specifically violence, mental health issues, tame gore, but nothing extremely disturbing or traumatising. The problem is that with the internet they may actually come across actually exploitive, psyche damaging stuff. With TV networks there are at least guidelines and mandates that are harder to slip through than, say, something like Youtube. (All those creepy elsagate stuff). They need a safe environment to explore those thoughts.

I was a Warrior Cats kid and anyone in that fandom knew that those books could be violent AF, same can be said about Wings of Fire (unlike Warriors I don't think it ever had a scene where a cat/dragon had their stomach cut open, WoF did have a dragon have her face burnt off with acid). Majority of those fandoms are comprised of kids less than 16 years of age, Warriors had so many fanart by CHILDREN illustrating the cats sometimes brutal deaths.

My point being, if you think most kids in between those ages are going to be traumatised by what they see on a RESTRICTIVE cable network, where they can censor many things (a lot harmless things e.g same sex couples) there is a good chance you may not fully understand children. [I'm not saying that it is impossible that they won't get traumatised by something but I'm saying that it would be extremely unlikely especially nowadays]

Unlike books, where you can only imagine how bad things are, a more visual medium like cartoons have less to the imagination. Let's take a look at the violence in Earthspark shall we?

On level of violence I'd say... it is on level of TF Prime AT TIMES. TFP was pretty consistent with its violence, it shown its characters BLEEDING, from the mouth, from wounds on the Cybertronian character. Meanwhile, I'd say the most bleeding we got from Earthspark characters was from Megatron's arm, from some covered shoulder panel. You could count Brawl dripping blood on the floor but it happens offscreen, I recall. I don't think Earthspark ever shows a Transformer bleed from any wound, or even really show any battle damage except from Bumblebee's arms and Twitch and Thrash in the finale.

The finale is the only thing I'd say could be seen as 'EXTREMELY violent', the stakes were fucking off the charts in those episodes. I see the tone clash critique from a lot people coming from there, some people also say it was rushed. By extremely violent I mean: human death (rip edgy elsa gets evaporated), Twitch getting her head repeatedly bashed against the floor by Mandroid, Nightshade getting stabbed (it is covered by a convenient camera angle and it is revealed to be an illusion), those are the extremes I remember from that episode. But those are MOSTLY ONLY EXCLUSIVE TO THE TRANSFORMERS CHARACTERS. Most violence happens to them. Human characters are harmed but it is not as horrific as how OP describes it '-children cry, they scream, they get bruised, their parents wail when they see them in danger', that makes this show sound so much more mature than it actually is, it's manipulative. There have never been any cuts or bruises ever shown on any of the human models, there are also no scenes in which I recall being extremely distressing.

I really think that the high stakes, barely seen before violence, shift in tone caused OP to go on that tirade. The clash of the finale compared to the season before gave them and many people a whiplash of what they used to perceive the show to be. People were not used to this kind of high stakes and violence in the show before the finale. I'll critique it for that - inconsistency.

One more nit-pick, this line: "1. Steven Universe really ruined a generation of children’s media by making showrunners think they had to tackle issues like PTSD and trauma."

It's completely false. I don't think OP has the knowledge of the trends in cartoons today and from before. So little network cartoons are like Steven Universe, flip on Cartoon Network, look what's playing on the telly: 'The Amazing World of Gumball', 'Total DramaRama', 'We Baby Bears'. Even on Nickelodeon: 'The Loud House', 'Spongebob', 'Monster High'. (Nickelodeon don't air cartoons often except Spongebob or The Loud House, really💀). Remember Powerpuff Girls actually having blood in its intro? Remember how the reboot sanitised everything? How they removed even the breasts on some of the female characters designs (God forbid cartoony exaggeration of female anatomy/s).

It is entirely unfair to blame Steven Universe for a supposed trend of cartoons tackling mature and dark subjects. People must remember the trend of the action cartoon back in 2000s to early 2010s: 'Teen Titans', 'Max Steel', 'Scooby Doo Mystery Inc.(not necessarily action but it was mature at times)', 'Slugterra', even 'Transformers: Prime'. Those cartoons could sometimes get "dark". But people love to use Steven Universe as the 'blame for all' because its comedic, dark tone, and tackled mature themes. Neither Earthspark nor Steven Universe, as I recall, go in depth about trauma and mental health issues. Earthspark is pretty surface level in that regard, there is no backbone. I hope for proper exploration of themes in season 2.

I think I'll end it here for now.

[No hate, if OP reads this, once more, no disrespect. I just disagree with your take.]

[tuitsutherland]

could you not leak book 16

Book 16 leaked rough draft, the story is taking a pretty dark turn dragons had there wings riped off and fried. I guess the people who wanted more gore got what they wanted

[sombrathedragon]

Day 7 of Wof-tober: Book 16 Predictions!

This isn’t really a book 16 prediction, but it’s more or so a arc 4 prediction :) (I mean I want book 16 to be about Cliff or Auklet sooo yeah)

I think Cliff and Auklet should be friends.. and and Auklet should be an animus (but but the spell would make it so her powers don’t work 🥺 I DONT CARE IM HAVING FUN !!!!!!!!1!1!1 /lh /nm) Anywayyysss I drew Auklet making a light ball for fun and Cliff is there :3

I like to imagine that Auklet doesn’t really like jewelry (or at least the jewelry that Coral tells her she should wear) so she just wears horn rings and a shell bracelet. On the other hand, Cliff thinks jewelry is so cool so Ruby gave him some and he adores it. He also gave Auklet some Ruby earrings (like the gemstone not Rubys actual earrings) and it’s the one of the pieces of jewelry that she actually likes :)

(Ik a lot of people don’t like the new gen idea for arc four, but I think it’s neat :3)
