Tailwind or Canyon could be cool, so far as canon wings of fire characters go? They're both skywings and siblings. Canyon is Scarlet's... tragically deceased husband who uhhh suffered a truly, truly awful and unpreventable death... in her arena. Tailwind is the Guide to The Dargon World narrator we learn of Canyon from.

i drew both of them! tailwind has become one of my favorite random side characters in the series, i loved their entry in the guidebook XD. both of them have colors taken from pictures of the grand canyon, and tailwind is wearing blacksmith goggles!

that's it for my request queue, they're still open if anyone else has a dragon they'd like to see feel free to hit up my inbox!

I fear I must have missed your Umber drawing of him in the Jade Winglet Band, may you link it in your reply so I can check to reblog it if so? (I am certain it shall be good)

Ah BEANS I totally forgot about him!!! I can't believe I forgot Umber was in Jade Winglet, that's so embarrassing > <

Ughhhh AND he has a double bass in the books... (At least I think it is it's not named but the description matches the double bass) If I had remembered that I would've thought about giving Winter something else, the cello and the double bass aren't identical but they look really similar at a glance >.>

Ah well. No point crying over lost prey, hopefully it being played pizzicato makes it feel different enough

I actually think this is my favorite one of these so far he turned out so cute x3

I have attempted to attach your link discussing how Irina’s death at the hands of Caius was unjust (hopefully the summary helps if it hasn’t worked).

Irina obviously was caught up in horror over the presumed immortal child- but if Aro read her mind (a reasonable assumption?) then how would he not have caught the extraneous sensory detail of a sounding heartbeat do you think? Or is it more Irina genuinely didn’t register it despite vampire senses? (Or Aro didn’t check with his gift?)

Just thought it’d be interesting to see your thoughts on logistics over that aspect.

My post discussing Irina's death.

The reason why I think Irina's death was unjust was she acted in good faith, and had no organic venue of finding out she was wrong. She fully believed Renesmee was an immortal child, she had no reason not to and it was smart of her to run when Bella spotted her rather than risk getting in a fight with a newborn vampire.

She clearly hadn't registered Renesmee having a heartbeat, and if she heard something then at a distance, given the vampiric appearance and behavior she had just witnessed, and Renesmee's heartbeat being so much faster than a human's, Irina would have been reasonable in assuming it was some other animal's heartbeat she was hearing or something else entirely.

The only way she had of finding out Renesmee wasn't an immortal child was by approaching the Cullens, which would be a death sentence as Alice and Edward would know she wasn't going to cover for them (and what is there to approach them about? They've made an immortal child, "Thought I'd say hi before telling Aro. It's been good!"), and even if she had her phone on her (which seems to have been the case, as her sisters tried calling) that's no good once she's entered a body of water, which she would have to to hide her trail and get to Italy (And to my recollection, the Cullens' attempt to stop her ended when her trail did, ergo she did this early).

The only hope here would be if she thought to call her sisters from a payphone to let them know what had happened and not to go near the Cullens, but she clearly didn't do that.

So, Irina is excused in my eyes, and I expect Caius wouldn't have cared if she hadn't made the Volturi look like fools and he didn't want a fight.

Oh noooo I just watched the recap at the beginning of TDP S4 E4 and in the recap is specifically included “Over my dead body” by Ibis as spoken dialogue, I’d forgotten how awfully literal the Staff of Ziard’s theft’s condition and cost is put plainly before proved right by the plot. Poor Ibis he was so cool (poor mentorless Callum too I suppose).

was just thinking about Ibis yesterday and how i miss his lil nose. RIP Ibis, gone but never forgotten

Since Hagrid’s house is never stated in the books to my knowledge and our only clues are him disliking Slytherin because Tom Riddle narked on him about having legitimately dangerous animals what house do you and vinelle figure he was in if you’ve put thought to it? (or use if writing him in a story)

I know there was a bit I was convinced it was slytherin as that’s how he knew the slytherin’s prefects name and was in a place to be caught by said slytherin prefect, figuring the prejudice was a response to being expelled before getting fully attached to it (he’s one of the good ones! He swears!). But the prejudice and Dumbledore liking him (the sad state of the series) would probably indicate otherwise.

If, whenever you answer, it’s simply to point out you don’t much care for the houses enough to arbitrarily pick one then fair enough.

I believe canonically, Hagrid's a Gryffindor, I think we learn this in Chamber of Secrets when Tom Riddle is telling Harry all of Hagrid's dirty secrets and how it was totally Hagrid who opened the Chamber totally. He refers to him as "a Gryffindor third year" and some other choice words.

@therealvinelle and I always go with this and put him in Gryffindor. We didn't see any reason he shouldn't have been placed there given his personality/who he aspires to be/his hatred of Slytherins in canon without going "I had a traumatic past, Harry, in which I was a Slytherin"

(And yes, this means one of Hagrid's roommates must have tried to nark on him to the Slytherin prefect several times for several different creatures, probably not getting anywhere with Dumbledore who was head of Gryffindor or for some reason any of the Gryffindor prefects who probably then went to Dumbledore.

No, this didn't get Hagrid expelled or suspended earlier and probably that student lived in terror that Hagrid's dangerous fire breathing scorpions would eat their faces in their sleep.)

It occurs to me I can submit an ask over what else I've been wondering and that if it's not spoilers it may even be answered. I loved the incorporation of trials, poor Nhoj and the night elf just stuck re-traumatising themselves with reminders of horrific violence, in their variety and was aggrieved by the loss of 2. So:

Before Rabbit ate the happiness and love elf tasks what would they have been? Did you always plan to have them eaten and never decide? Is there a particular reason they got the short straw?

The last question is possibly they had less narrative focus mostly, the happiness elf particularly, but it's because of authorial choices and deliberate writing why it's possibly fair game to inquire about.

The Heart of the World by me.

And sure, submit anything you like! Even spoilers, depending, I might answer if it's spoilers for the single book thus far, just not anything that will spoil things ahead.

With that said.

You nailed it, there weren't any. They were always slated to be eaten, I never had to come up with anything, for which there was much rejoicing on my end, and the why is... well, that actually is something of a spoiler. It's not so clear yet as of book 1 but there are things Rabbit does and doesn't eat and there is something of a pattern to them.

So, hold that thought basically.

If I may be so bold may I request the release of the March and April stories in a similar format as to May’s? I don’t believe they’ve been freed from the cover of night yet? (The Roast of Nations at least appears unrevealed and to contain stories)

If I’m wrong then a helpful link sending me to the correct post/s would be much appreciated! As always I’m grateful to your generosity in giving us your valuable time!

Oh my god!

The Roast of Nations has been revealed and de-anonymized now, since so much time passed. I'm sincerely sorry, I had no idea anybody had contributed anything- post will be made!
