Imagine teasing a white-blue SkyWings about "wanting to be an IceWing", and then getting the unmatched power of the fucking sun directed at your face.

LMAOO THIS IS AWESOME

Headcannon idea

what if firescales are reincarnations of each other? Like a phoenix.

Nightwings are the scholars and mystics of Phyrria. They have expansive libraries and museums in their kingdom, as well as the most intricate schools and universities. The current Queen, Battlewinner is an ailing but stubborn queen. She has only one heir, princess Greatness, as well as one son (Battlecry, an oc). Greatness is trying everything to avoid becoming the next Queen, but she’s running out of time and options as her mother’s health worsens.

They have perfect night vision, as they are a nocturnal species, they see better at night then day. Their eyes and ears tend to be bigger when compared to other tribes. Most common eye colors are shades of green, purple, or amber. Blue is a very rare eye color among Nightwings. All Nightwings can breath fire.

Scales are most commonly black, dark grey, or darker and less saturated shades of purple, red/brown, green, or blue. Horns and claws come in grey/silver or black and a about roughly 40% of the Nightwing population hatch with a second but smaller set of horns that curve more downward then the first pair. The underside of their wing membranes resemble the night sky, with no nightwing hatching with the exact same pattern of star like scales.

Nightwings who hatch under one full moon, will either receive mind reading or seer abilities. A silver tear drop under each eye indicates mind reading, and silver tear drop scales along the sides of the neck and tail indicate seer abilities. Nightwings who hatch under two full moons get both abilities and those who hatch under no moons, get no powers and no extra silver scales. The very few who hatch under three full moons (the brightness night), will have a more powerful version of the first two abilities. There is a line of nightwings who may sometime hatch as animus, though this is rare. This line can be traced back to Darkstalker and his family. Animus magic, though not as intensely regulated as it is in the Ice Kingdom, is regulated to a degree. With most Nightwing animus end up working for the royal family in some way.

Basically in my au, Nightwings never left the original Night Kingdom and never lost their powers. Darkstalker’s story ended much differently to, I’ll explain that au eventually.

Below is an example of what an average Nightwing would look like (one set of horns and no moon powers).

Thanks @one-mopeyboi for helping out with various ideas for the au !

Wing talon studies! It turned out pretty good, much less awkward than I would've thought. The elbow membranes certainly get a good stretch, though, so they'd have to be heavily specialized to move like that without permanent damage or distortion. How? Who knows! I don't wanna go into tissue studies right now lmao. When there's a will there's a way ☆

GUYS.

there’s a summary at the end btw

what if and hear me out here… Ruby is timid because @teethwitheyes101-blog was right about their head cannon and people look down on her for having the “weak fire” coloring? and so hear me out on this next one BUT. (scroll past the next picture)

tourmaline has one of the stronger fire colors in scale indications that teeth with eyes has supplied us with, so that’s why she was the stronger daughter who was hold and brave, because also scarlet has the scale colors right in the middle of ruby and tourmaline, btw !!SPOILERS FOR ESCAPING PERIL!!, so closer to the end of the book when it’s discovered that Ruby is actually tourmaline with a spell over her earring maybe just maybe it was so that way none of Scarlets kids would be brave enough to challenge her? because if tourmaline had stronger fire than Scarlet, Scarlet would be aware of the fact tourmaline would have much more strength than Scarlet did, so she killed the original Ruby and then the spell on the earring made “Ruby” believe she had never been any other dragon but Ruby, that way Scarlet did not have to die from her stronger daughter before she got the chance to be queen for the rest of her life and “Ruby” thought she was too weak to challenge her mom, so she lived obediently, then we break into the point when scarlet and “Ruby” are about to fight over who gets to be queen “Ruby” isn’t willing to do assuming she would never win, but as SOON as she gets to be Tourmaline again she’s confident in her strength and beats Scarlet resulting in the evil queens death, just think about it! Scarlet had an animus at the time when she had that earring made and she had two daughters one of which could have very well been able to kill her! and scarlet had already shown a willing to kill her kids, so with her last two kids what if she was so power hungry that she decided to off her weakest of the two then make the strong one believe she was weak rather than just having someone kill Tourmaline for her? also clearly Scarlet has a way powerful ego so she most likely would literally never been willing to hire an assassin rather than do the dirty work herself! also! she would want to kill her much stronger daughter while making a spectacle of it, she would want everyone to see it, but she couldn’t do that if she had a definite disadvantage! so as a summary, scarlet totally killed the real ruby because she was weak, made tourmaline (who is much stronger fire) believe that she WAS ruby for her whole life so that scarlet could be queen even longer!

this is long and possibly a yap sesh BUT i was looking for cool WOF aus to read through and teeth with eyes’ art came up making me think of the leaked pictures of the escaping peril graphic novel and how Ruby is darker in color than everyone imagined which gave me this whole thing that ive typed out :3 tbh i was originally looking for motivation to write my own AU but then this happened 😅 but this is so much more fun bro

apologies for the yapping but no one irl that i know likes wof like i do so you guys get to suffer my ideas 😭

also thank you teethwitheyes101! I didn’t want to tag you multiple times in one post but i did tag you because i do not want to look like i’m trying to steal art, and i did my best to crop the picture with your user, i hope you aren’t upset at me for putting your art in my post, if you are lmk!!

Wings of fire egg headcannons

Canonically, if you read the books, both rainwing eggs and skywings eggs are near white, hivewing eggs are white, and seawing eggs are white and blue. The mudwing egg colour is just canon design.

[bluegrass24]

Sketch with Peril! Glad to see how she popular on Tumblr right now 💜

It's also a good time to remember a design I did a couple of years ago!

@gooseclan

I imagine sky would be wayyy at the bottom, and may even get mistaken for a nightwing :)

(This is for my skywing hc for ppl who don’t know what I’m talking about)

Sandwing headcannons!

• Sandwing accent is really similar to an Australian accent. I guarantee most non-Australians will get the accent wrong.

•They wear little garments on their tails during busy social gatherings and get them for dragonets that haven’t been tail trained yet. They call them tail chains.

• A common way to symbolise sandwings is a little emblem with a raised tail between two outstretched wings.

• After the War of SandWing Succession, they hold a yearly festival at Jade Mountain Academy, since it’s the only place that no tribe owns. They call it a few different names, e.g. The Comet Festival, The Dragonbite Festival, but most of them like to call it the Sunny festival, since she finished the war.

• Little capsule necklaces of sand and water, symbolising an oasis, are worn as good luck charms.

• They LOVE to make jewellery, especially for festivals. Around the time of the Dragonbite Festival, they make little bracelets, earrings, necklaces and tail chains, with little comets on them, some have a Dragonbite viper interacting with the comet in some way, and some just have the Dragonbite Viper coiled up.

•Stonemover always chills with timid dragons who are avoiding crowds, and Sunny added cushions for them all to vibe with him and encourage them to chat with him

Feel free to put any of these ideas into art! If you do, please tag me!

Didn’t expect this to get that many notes. Yowza wowza

When Cricket was younger, she would practice getting to her hiding spots in case of a full hive mind, the constant "hive drills" as she called them made her wings to be exceptionally fit for her age, and she grew up to be a strong flier and runner, to an extent.

[ID: A drawing of two SeaWing dragons from Wings of Fire facing each other. Tsunami has her back to the viewer and is smirking with her ear tipped forward. She has mostly medium blue scales with dark blue along her spine and snout. Some of her aqua blue bioluminescent face scalers are lit up. She is smirking at Whirpool who floats in front of her. He looks stunned by the audacity of what she is saying in aquatic. His green-yellow scales are lighter on his belly and darker on his back. He has large ears for a SeaWing, which are adorned with several large hooped earrings each. Over his left eye, he has a small golden monocle which is suspended in place by a fine metal chain attached to one earring and one eye brow ring. Between them, in glowing and floating letters, it spells 'Squidface'/ End.]

The scene that made me laugh is when Tsunami learns how to speak Aquatic and the very first thing she learns how to do is basically swear. Headcannon that squidface is the SeaWing swear that functionally means dickhead. Which I think fits Whirlpool well. I tried to make him as oily as possible. His ears normally droop under the weight of all the hoops. But he's so surprised that they're sticking up quite a bit. He also has some big ears for a SeaWing. All the better to put more hoops in. I may do a bit of a redesign at some point and give him gages because that would be sweet.

Love Tsunami. Next up is a scene that made me cry.

older Winter Qibli thingys I made during the school year

the wonders of not having art block 😔

Mmm something something the one nightwing kid from the volcano who was painting with moon in her book? Mightyclaws I think? Just thinking about him n moon I love the poor little nightwings I live them so every single one of those poor asthma ridden smoke bags <3

Anyway here's the actual thingy

She had so many, more than I had ever seen on even Morrowseer, even with his numerous expeditions out to the rainforest

She didn't even notice at first

When she first arrived at the village everyone stared at her enviously because of her upbringing sure, but after a while it became because she had so many with us having so few, and sure, slowly we gained some but nodragon quite caught up to her amount, never came near the abundant nebula that were smattered across her scales.

Most dragons moved on, but I didn't, I was always so envious.

So when she came in the arts cave and started painting, and asked why the sky in mine had so many stars and why even bother with them if the smoke that choked the night was going to smother them anyway, I lost it.

And she just sat there. And gave me that look.

The look that was only meant to come from

others.

The signature pitying look, the oh your poor thing well atleast you don't have to breathe smoke now

atleast you have fresh fruit and a place to live safely

atleast the rainwings are the lazy ones so they are the best ones to share with

atleast you don't have to tell lies anymore

atleast your on even ground now

atleast you'll be humbled now, perhaps you won't try anything like that next time war breaks out you ambitious freaks

An outsider in her own tribe indeed.

She has way too many stars

I’m doing a series of wof headcannons! In no specific order,

SEAWINGS!

1. Newly hatched seawings have very dim bioluminescence, as not to attract predators looking for an easy snack

However, more recently as dragons start living and hatching young in colonies, a rare condition can be found where a hatchling cannot control their lights, and it’s brighter than it should be, it seems to fade/come into control within a few weeks! Sadly they wouldn’t call it “Rudolph Syndrome”

2. Seawings are the largest tribe, however they start out VERY small, hatchlings weigh only about 1 or 2 pounds, however an adult can reach a couple tons at time of death. Also hatchlings are often nicknamed “Fry”

3. Seawings are known to have tendrils used in sensing vibrations in the water, males have 2 on each side of their forehead, these are rudimentary antenna! Early Seawings are actually an ancestor of the beetlewing!

4. Seawings and Icewings have a high hybrid rate, due to the fact that Whalers often bump into each other, and until recently, the tension has been low between tribes. The hybrids are well adapted to the icy waters, and welcomed into both the kingdoms as valuable, specialized dragons.

5. SOME MISC ORCA HC’S! since I rlly like her :)

5b. Orca is trans! mtf to be specific, a very few old timers in the kingdom disagreed with letting her challenge for the throne because of this, but for the most part everyone was chill

5c. Orca was a profound artist, and after it was found out that she was was an animus aswell some speculated that she enchanted her work to be more appealing to people, however this is unlikely, as she was very strategic with her casting. She was just really good at art :)

5d. Orca wore an earring with the pearls of different sizes, feeling the need to connect with her daughter after death, Coral began wearing it aswell, it may or may not be enchanted to give the wearer confidence and ambition.

5e. Auklet is the reincarnation of Orca! Though they do look a bit different part of it is because Auklet is still just lil baby and doesn’t have her adult scales yet :)

That is all the headcannons for now! I may add to this post later!

HEADCANNON 😁

what if seawings jumped out of the water like this? because theyre pretty hefty and theyd use their tails which are described as powerful to swim so i mean what if when they wanted to catch a bird or fly out of the water they did this and for flying spread their wings and to catch birds or whatever they just fall back in? i think thats a cool thought :D
