i love Peril so much i love her more than literally anything, she means so much to me as a character.
this is just one reason, but, as a person w bpd, Peril is SO bpd coded. i havenāt gotten to her book yet, but even from the first few scenes i saw her in it was so clear to me!!! the abuse queen scarlet puts her through and the trauma she goes through as a newborn dragonet, believing she is inherently a monster, everyone seeing Peril as dangerous and a threat even though her circumstances and upbringing arenāt her fault, her attatchment to Clay and how she views other dragons that are close to him, her not knowing exactly the right way to interact w other dragons due to the affects of how Scarlet treated herāi could go on, and probably will in another post when i get to her book. There is a lot of amazing representation in WOF regarding the effects of trauma, specifically traumatic childhoods, but Peril stands out to me so much. iāve read a snippet of her book already (but thereās a lot in the scenes in āthe dragonet prophecyā and āthe brightest nightā too!!) and even the way Tui writes Perilās internal dialogue is just so accurate to my own experience w bpd. when i get to her book i know iāll have so much more evidence and a TON more to say, but i just wanted to get this out bc i canāt stop thinking about her.
anyway, Peril i love you soooooooo much <33
clay and peril better be endgame thatās all iām saying
Hello, wings of fire fandom!
Iām sure weāre all aware of those who dislike particular romantic relationships in the series, whether because of an age gap or because the relationship felt like it progressed too quickly, or a variety of other reasons. You yourself may be one of these people.
However, let me enlighten you as to why it āØdoesnāt matterāØ
We are humans, reading the books from a human perspective. We think a relationship that goes from strangers to lovers within a few interactions isnāt entirely healthy, productive, or okay in general. But I would like to remind you: they are dragons.
Dragons are not humans. They are an entirely different species to us. They have different hormones, hormonal cycles, ways they interact with others, different relationships, they are completely different to us.
For humans, yes, Glorybringer is problematic because of their age gap. To dragons, thatās completely normal. Thatās just life. It literally doesnāt matter at all to them because they are dragons.
And yeah, high school relationships, to humans, are generally stupid and donāt last. We view most of these characters as children or teens, and therefore donāt think their romantic relationships are going to work out. But they. Are. Dragons. Itās a completely different circumstance, because they are not humans, they are a different species to us, I cannot stress this enough.
I think all the wings of fire canonical ships are perfection (iām ignoring moonbli here), and thereās nothing we can do to improve them because they donāt need improvement. The things that we find problematic do not matter at all, because we are not dragons.
Thank you, I hope I helped you open your eyes a little bit in terms of wof and the ships and why our perspective does not matter because weāre not dragons, have a great day! :]
i love how blaze is just glaciers ditsy femme princess gf and glacier is her older butch who loves her to death
thinking about Orca again.
Why did she choose to challenge Queen Coral when she was only 7 years old? we donāt really know what type of relationship Orca and Coral had, or why Orca decided to challenge Coral when she did. at first i thought it was because the queen was going to try to use her animus powers in the same way she is using Anemone, but Orca hid her powers from the queen. was it because she hated queen coral and wanted to be queen so badly that she couldnāt wait longer?
clearly she thought she would win the challenge, her statue in the nursery being already enchanted to kill future heirs BEFORE she entered the fight proves that. But Queen Coral ended up winning, and as she was dying Orca said āI did this all wrong. youāre going to rule forever, arenāt you, mother? you should thank meā¦ā ⦠but if Orca was an animus dragon could she not have won the fight easily using her powers? she probably wanted to keep her powers hidden, but because nobody knew she had magic, could she not have quietly used magic to assist her and make it look like it was a natural kill instead of a magical one? she would have saved her own life and secured her win by doing that. did she care about it being a fair win enough to not use her powers? or was there another reason?
if she was concerned about her soul turning evil from using her powers to kill Queen Coral, iād understand not wanting to use them during the fight. HOWEVER ⦠isnāt the concept of her statue pretty dark? it implies thatāif Orca had wonāshe would have just been completely fine with every single one of her female eggs being smashed. now that could be just how Orca was; just kind of ruthless and power hungry (ig ?), and willing to see her eggs die if it meant she wouldnāt have competition for the throne. but, could it also have been partly because of her soul beginning to turn due to the use of her Animus powers? we donāt really know how much she used them or what she was using them for. though the statue would lead us to believe she used themāat least sometimesāfor selfish reasons, which could mean that her soul had begun to turn slightly.
if Orca had enchanted the statue as she was dying as a way to take revenge on queen coral, her whole situation would have made more sense. but based on the fact that she chose to challenge the queen so young, AND she wanted to ensure all her own dragonets would be murdered just so she could remain queen, it kind of seems like her soul was already being corrupted by her powers. but if she had been corrupted, did nobody notice any changes in her behavior or thinking? even if they were subtle changes.
Because even when queens plan ahead and think about how to keep themselves from being challenged for the throne, they usually have at least one dragonet whoās a direct heir, even if they take measures to keep control over them. because longevity of your own kingdom and species is obviously (or, at least most likely) important to every type of queen, even if itās for selfish reasons, because every clear-thinking dragon knows they wonāt live forever. unless it was Orcas plan to win the queen challenge and then secretly enchant herself to live forever like Jerboa I?? would she have kept her animus powers a secret as queen??
i donāt know, iām just very curious about the Orca era and Orca as a character. many brainworms.
Tsunami but⦠lionfish
i just finished āthe lost heirā and i keep thinking about Tsunami in the nursery with the Orca statue ⦠i keep thinking about the head of the stone puppet turning and finding Tsunami in the dark ā¦. and Tsunami fighting so hard for Aukletās egg only for her to hatch right in her claws oh my god idk it was just such a good scene like iām still thinking ab it. i hope they adapt it well in the show bc there are so many cool things you could do animation/art wise.
itās also very interesting to me that Orca enchanted her statue feeling so sure sheād win against Coral. As she was dying she was filled with regret saying that her mother would be queen forever. but iād say she got her revenge on the queen by leaving the cursed statue behind. i wonder if Orca was the type of dragon to be happy that her physical legacy ended up hurting Queen Coral so much after her death. i think probably?? though iām not entirely sure. i would love a novella about Orca tbh, it would be so interesting to learn about her past and how she viewed the world.
