#jflxwr rant

sometimes i think about blob. ( indigo's pet that fathom carved and enchanted for her )

and then i remember that fathom only gave him life, not mortality.

and that makes me sad knowing blob is probably still alive without indigo.

and then i remember fathom made blob to be extremely loyal.

and then i imagine blob sadly roaming around pyrrhia for two thousand years trying to find indigo and i get even sadder.

i know its very likely that icicle did not care for sora at all, even more likely that she probs disliked sora, but that still wont stop me from headcanoning that she wanted to befriend her

like. imagine it. icicles all "ugh this school sucks it's such a stupid idea to think that all the dragon tribes can get along. especially since, idk, maybe we just got out of a war?? i could be climbing the ranks rn or training to kill the queen" and then she walks in her dorm cave and sees sora, a mudwing.

and shes like " omfg they put me with a mudwing?? r they stupid or did they just decide to ignore how we were enemies in the war?? "

but then she starts talking to sora and is like " yo tbh i kinda vibe with her calm personality. she's so shy and quiet its weird compared to the icewings back home. i dont feel like i need to prove i'm better than her like i need to prove i'm better than snowfall and crystal. i don't feel like i need to compete with her for a rank like i have to do with the other icewing dragonets. i feel like i can be chill around her, like i don't need to be 'princess icicle' and i can just be. well. icicle. "

" she's also a middle child, she also fought in the war, and she also lost an older sibling. we relate sm despite our very different personalities. maybe jma's philosophy isn't so stupid and maybe if i befriend more dragons from other tribes i'll find more who can relate to me— "

and then sora tries to kill her .

"icicle hates winter blahblah blah-" IDC WHAT U SAY !!!! literally tui herself can say this and i will still go "nuh uh" .

icicle loves winter as much as he loves her. even if she thinks winter was responsible for hailstorms capture, shes just telling herself that to cope with the loss of her brother. even if she constantly insults winter in her head during moon rising , thats just how she grew to think because like cmon. she was literally raised in the ice kingdom. she (and like everyone else) was taught that those stupid circles defined their worth!! ofc she grew up with a judgemental mindset

i hate how icicle was just thrown away after winter turning. literally there was SO, SO MUCH POTENTIAL for more stories based on her. like what is the outcome of her trial??? what is her reaction to seeing winter again??? what is her reaction to seeing HAILSTORM again?!?! (reminder that as far as we know she doesnt know hailstorm is back btw!!! after she literally attempted murder to get him back!!!)

dude, there couldve been a whole winglet on winter (and maybe hailstorm) breaking icicle out of prison because ik winterr would NOT let his sister rot in that cell. and the siblings couldve reunited after all being separated for so. so long and ugshh my heart.

one of the things i was looking forwards to in the dangerous gift was that i was hoping we'd find out more on the whole icicle situation !!! maybe even see her and stuff but maybe that was a bit too hopeful

but no. instead we just got like. one mention of her trial. and it doesnt even talk abt what the verdict is because apparentlyy the trial hasn't even happened yet even tho it's been like what. a month or two now since she got arrested??? r u telling me shes just been in prison by herself for maybe two months. with the possibility that she doesnt even know if the person she did all this for is alive or not. wtf tuiii.

dude even her being abandoned in prison has writing potential like how did her imprisonment affect her mentally?? what did she think abt in there??? how has this affected her relationship with winter and hailstorm???? is she still even fucking sane LMAOao?!?!?

shes also such a significant character!!! one of the first dominoes in the chain of events that leads to darkstalker being freed. and her character is just tossed away once shes served her purpose in the plot because tui refuses to add depth to her villainss /hj. an icicle character arc wouldve been so interesting. :((

bro just writing this is making me seethe pause im gonna go write a fanfic and rewrite icicles ending (also if ur interested theres already a fanfic where they break icicle out of prison btw!! its very amazing one of my fav fanfics tbh)
