I've seen them on like, Reddit and Youtube comments here and there. I don't really KNOW them know them, I've just seen them around the internet and such.
The favoritism in the fandom irritates me so badly. People will defend Winter with their life (not that I hate him btw) but then hate the fuck out of Qibli for the same reason they like Winter. Both of them were severely abused by their families, what’s so different about Winter??
Same thing for Darkstalker kinnies, they’ll defend a literal war criminal because he was abused but then hate on other characters that went through child abuse such as Anemone or Winter just because they are mean. Attempting to commit genocide and being racist is not mean to you??
.
Honestly, I can see the vision. I can see it far too well.
Okay but Nautilus is described with spiral patterns, and Morrowseer has star patterns that are “curl inwards like a snail shell”, not to mention Nautilus is never shown with a wife, and so I propose:
Nautilus x Morrowseer
Leader of an underground organization and his shady NightWing politician. It could work horribly.
Ofc I know him! He's so silly!!!
Webs teaches History!
I love ALL OF THESE!!
ASK ME ABOUT MY WOF HEADCANONS PLEASEPLEASE PLEASE LLEASE
This is why he's my favorite character.
Here is Webs. Oh Websy... Perhaps one of the few dragons who can give Starflight a run for his money in regards to attracting misfortune. Much like Dragon Ball's Yamcha, nothing ever seems to go right for this old guy.
Here are some depressing facts about the life of Webs:
He was a soldier who became a pariah among his people for deserting during an important battle. This brought infamy and stigma to himself and his family by association.
He joined a group of political dissenters to end the war and redeem himself. Under their orders he was made to stage a kidnapping of the royal heir, which enraged the local government and necessitated his immediate escape from the country.
His wife got implicated in the kidnapping, and since she didn't flee with him, she was left to bear the brunt of a tyrannical and vengeful queen's fury. She died a cruel death for his crime.
His then-two-year-old son was left parent-less and grew up shunned by the populace for being his kid.
He can never return home, as he is a wanted man and will be killed on sight.
The organization he ruined his own life for later tried to kill him too.
He nearly got himself and his son killed by trying to appeal for mercy to a queen who he knows not to be particularly merciful.
While escaping from said queen he got poisoned and would have died, if his foster children hadn't bailed him out.
He is currently employed by the daughter of the woman who arranged his wife's death.
Said employer is also his foster daughter, who is dating his biological son, meaning said wife killer will eventually become part of his family via marriage.
It is unclear whether he is on good terms with his son, since they don't share many speaking scenes together and live in separate places.
When he was raising his foster children, he had an opportunity to teach the one who shares his heritage about their ancestral language--aquatic--which is very culturally important to their people. He declined to do this.
What he DID teach her is that the primary purpose of said language is to get hook-ups.
There is only a single moment in the graphic novels that shows him smiling.
Said moment occurs in someone else's imagination.
Everything in his life that he ever had a hand in has turned into abject failure. Everything that did not end in failure did so in spite of his actions, not because of them.
This is so sad. Why did I make this list? I'm sad now.
Oh no, my favorite character!
Anyways-
Tsunami: Good evening. I'll be your substitute because Webs was unable to come in today.
Tsunami: He was murdered and set on fire while celebrating his hatching day.
Tsunami: So, turn to page-
I love this so much !!! It's so silly !!! /pos
Mastermind has a very good head on his shoulders, and another one in a dish on his desk!
Rbs>likes!
Bonus sillies under cut!!
I'm drinking iced coffee & giggiling rn. This thread is funny.
Ok, I think MOST important goes to Sunny. But Moon's about 2nd place I think.
I think it's about time I say this. Moon is the most important character in wings of fire. Not best or favorite, (though she is my favorite) those are two different things. What I mean is you can't substitute her in the plot. You can't swap her out with another character and get the same story. Moon's kindness is the one who sparks change in everyone, Turtle in his journey to be willing to help, Qibli in his journey of becoming secure about himself mentally, and Winter basically not being Racist to Nightwings. I could go on but you get the picture.
ME AND YOU BOTH MAN MOONS THE BEST
as always, moon takes are my favourites, and this one is such a happy positive one about her and i love it so much
Huh.
That same reason is why he's my favorite character. Interesting how different our perspectives are /pos
I 100% read too much into that prologue specifically, but in my opinion he's such an intriguing character.
Still horrible tho.
"He didn't understand why they would want to be on their own, cut off from their protectors."
Oh gee, I don't know Webs. Maybe it could be because you let Kestrel beat them all the time? Or how her and Dune would consistently verbally abuse them? Or how they were never allowed to go outside their whole childhoods? Or wait! Maybe it could be because you all were going to kill Glory.
Nautilus is honestly the weirdest character in the series for me.
Like, he's moraly grey at best, seeming unfazed at killing people at the least, and I don't think enough people pay attention to him at all. Which is . . . Sad. I kind of hoped he would be a bigger villain, or at least more entertaining, than he was.
I mean, also, Webs confirmed himself that it was, at the very least, Nautilus' idea to lock the dragonets underground. (I wonder how much the guardians themselves hated it.)
Also, iirc, Cirrus literally said that he joined the ToP to get better at murder. So, that was a semi-regular occurance. Jeez.
