Da boi is done and getting a full length video!!

So many things to do rn but super excited to start on making some more content of me sewing next month. I am already getting Clay completed and hopefully he will appear on here soon!!!! :o

Refreshed and Ready

(Has 2 pages)

Hahhhh... I've told myself I would finish this one before pride month ends, and though the weather itself conspired to prevent me, it was not enough to stop me.

I've mentioned this one before. When I posted spider comic, I briefly alluded in passing to another mysterious work called soap comic. This is that comic.

It's my headcanon that most Sandwings are severely hydrophobic. It's mostly based on the fact that Sunny seems to hate being in contact with water and does things like standing on top of Clay to avoid getting wet whenever she has to be near any.

Yes, there are several instances of my hypothesis being contradicted. Palm eagerly dives into an oasis (though she was quite thirsty at the time) and Deserter mentions baths in the palace (can't really refute that one). I'm choosing to be in denial about it. Please let me have this, I need it.

Winter acts disgruntled here, but I think he secretly enjoys that he gets to do this.

Just for fun I recorded some time lapses of me drawing these pages. You can look at them and see me flounder through the process if that's the sort of thing you enjoy looking at (screencap frequency is 1 per minute):

Happy pride.

Guardian Angel

At the end of Book 6, Umber looks at the whole Sora situation and surmises he will have to go into hiding with his sister to save her from the retributive wrath of the law. He then makes the decision to deliberately obscure his departure from his brother Clay, so he doesn't have to get involved.

If anything, this is a well-intended and noble gesture. Sora killed a Nightwing, which concerns the jurisdiction of the Rain Queen, and thus forces Clay into direct conflict with his friend Glory if he were put in a position where he had to hide Sora's whereabouts from her. But if he doesn't know, he cannot be held accountable.

This always came across as a futile effort to me though, a nice but ultimately pointless gesture born of the mind of a youthful optimist. I cannot conceive of any reality where Clay doesn't know exactly where his missing siblings are. Knowing him, he checks on them regularly to make sure they're well and healthy (but keeps his distance to respect their wishes to not involve him).

And if Glory ever decides to come investigate Bigtail's death, she knows full well Clay is able to do this as well.

Incidentally, this is part of why I like to pretend Carnelian and Bigtail didn't die. The death of a young Nightwing under Glory's care, committed by someone Clay is unwilling to give up creates so many uncomfortable implications that lead to thoroughly depressing outcomes for both of them and their continued friendship. I kind of hate where I see this going.

I am sad now. Maybe you should ignore this write-up and just look at the comic.

******

At present, I have not read Book 16. This comic is based on information from Arcs 1 and 2 only. So if there are any contradictions with things happening in Arc 4, they're outside the scope of my knowledge.

HELP I FINALLY GOT AROUND TO READING THE HYBRID PRINCE WHY IS HE IN THE BACKROOMS

[fiendish-illos]

the fact that this scene was never added to the graphic novels will always be a crime to me (written scene below the cut)

i am a simple person, and this scene will always, always, be funny to me.

I think Tui would write much better queer romance if she treated them like threats straight ships, it feels like she tries too hard to make good representation she forgets she also has to write a compelling romance.

Tho thats kinda to be expected since WoF is a children's book series so romance isn't the focus but still, make the ship a less prominent aspect of the books then, you csn have a gay romance with good rep while focusing more on other plot aspects.

I agree somewhat and wanna add to it a little if you'll allow me.

Blue and Cricket are ALSO poorly written and rushed as a straight pair and I think it's because Sutherland wants the romance to move forward all in one book. That's irritating!

Both The Lost Continent and The Hybrid Prince would be pretty much the same if the romance wasn't there, but because it is we have to screech to a halt several times in both books to have awkward "oh man I hope they like me" bits.

Just!! Let the relationship occur naturally over the arc! Sutherland's done it before! Granted, I don't like the Moon/Qibli/Winter love triangle either, but at least it occurred throughout Arc 2.

I don't think Sutherland is doing lazy rep for rep's sake, I think she just sucks at establishing romance and does better when the courting phase happens offscreen, like with Willow and Sundew.

Diversity win! Both the queer AND straight couples in Wings of Fire are boring!

What immortal hand or eye

Could frame thy fearful symmetry

Recently I've realized that I relate to Peril a lot (I'm prone to very strong emotions, akward, socially inept and older than all my friends)

While I don't think she's "underrated", I feel like most people don't realized how GREAT of an emotional abuse victim rep. she is.

ALSO! I pre-ordered The Hybrid Prince, it should arrive later this month!

Thanks everyone who put a spoiler warning on their book 16 fanart!💕

[flashfreeze-the-icewing]

Friendly reminder that tagging spoilers, especially when something just came out, is basic fandom etiquette. Not everyone is able to buy the Hybrid Prince the day it comes out. Not everyone is able to blast through the entire thing in only a week. People have other things going on in their lives. You can’t expect everyone to put their responsibilities on hold or refrain from ANY social media usage, just so their dragon book doesn’t get spoiled for them. Please, tag your spoilers.

[not-right-wof]

Y’all the hybrid prince has not been out for that long yet, please tag your spoilers 😭
