Anyways wing time. Feel free to add your own hcs.
Odile would have the wings of a swan. Big, gorgeous, elegant and graceful, but also absolutely capable of fucking someone up. She also uses them to protect her kids, because of course she does.
Bonnie would have the wings of a sparrow. Small but mighty and when in a group can and will do massive damage (look up bird mobbing for more info on what I'm referencing here :3).
Mirabelle would have the wings of a mourning dove. I don't have an explanation, other than they're pretty.
Isabeau would have the wings of a golden eagle. Something big and fierce and bulky. Before he changed, his wings were those of a bluebird - smaller, more meek but still curious and resilient.
And of course, Siffrin is diagnosed raven. Incredibly clever and resilient, but also imagine dark feathers slowly losing their color due to loop-related stress.
Act 6 spoilers below cut.
Loop has nothing more than stumps where their wings were. The wings of Siffrin burned up as they transformed, and now all that remains is a celestial shadow. They miss their wings.

K here are some terrible takes I have collected. Short thoughts for each one.
"Rhea intentionally caused famine by not sharing knowledge with Faerghus"
We have no idea what kind of knowledge she shared. And pick a side! Rhea has to stay out of human affairs because she's not human, OR she has to involve herself with human affairs because otherwise she's bad?
"The Church is homophobic"
Nowhere is it even implied that same-sex relationships are frowned upon in Fodlan. Hell, the archbishop, goddess, and many devout characters are queer, and nobody raises a fuss about their love lives in their endings.
Their holy book also says that the goddess does not deny love.
The whole crest stuff is not the church's fault. They tell you not to abuse crests, and had no hand in the creation of them. Humans did. And speaking of humans, Edelgard says that the people are the ones who elevate crest bearers, not the church.
The Church also has no control over the nobles, who would be the homophobic ones in this scenario??
"Cyril is Rhea's slave"
Cyril was an actual slave at House Goneril until Rhea saved him, something he is expresses his gratitude for by doing chores. He wants to feel useful in some capacity. This is a child who wants to feel useful and takes on extra chores because of that. He's a stubborn little lad, and we love him for it.
"Rhea keeps Cyril uneducated on purpose"
Cyril says in his and Lysithea's support that he keeps his illiteracy a secret because he doesn't anybody to feel like he's not up to a task because of it. AKA: He wants to help out!
"Seteth is doing propaganda"
I'm guessing this refers to the Shadow Library. Seteth removes books there that are either inappropiate or have information that's extremely dangerous if it got out. Some books talk about bans, but since those books are in the shadow library, that likely means they're outdated.
Or this refers to him calling Edelgard mean things?? She declared war against them; of course he's not happy.
"Byleth regains their humanity in CF"
Byleth was never human. Their mother is VERY much implied to have been a Nabatean, and their heart belongs to their (likely Nabatean) mother and the goddess.
Byleth also embraces their Nabatean heritage. Remember that Silver Snow is called Byleth's Route.
Byleth's Legendary Alt in FEH is their Enlightened One version.
Byleth's Brave Alt in Feh is Sothis's regalia, and they sing the Song of the Nabateans.
Byleth's Halloween Alt is a Duo with Sothis.
Byleth's Summer Alt is a Duo with Rhea.
Byleth's Khadein Alt talks about the Goddess's hand in events.
Byleth's Fallen Alt's Forging Bonds has Sothis taking over their body to protect them.
This argument also implies that it's bad for someone to be Nabatean, which is like... yikes.
"Seteth kills the western church members cuz theyre heretics"
"Indeed. The Western Church is attempting to seize sacred ground by force."
- They explain it to you in the exact same paralogue!
"The Nabateans benefit the most from the current state of events" / "The Nabateans are the ruling/top class in Fodlan"
How does the nearly extinct group benefit most from a system where their people's bones are used as WMDs?
They are walking on glass, y'all. If the truth (or even a lie) got out, they would get hunted down.
"Lonato is a good man"
He incited an armed rebellion against a church and would've mowed down villages to get there. He also goes around the knights to attack the students. No, he is not a good man.
"Nabateans ruled over humans in the past and their rule was bad" / "Nemesis did the right thing by taking out the Nabateans"
The word the devs use for the Nabatean rule is apparently something like "cure."
It is also NEVER stated that their rule was bad? Just that the Agarthans hated it (because they hate everyone).
Even the Agarthans talk shit about Nemesis. Nobody liked him.
And you can't... justify genocide? What?
"Sothis and her kids are colonizers and the Agarthans are the natives who got wiped out"
Fun fact! Despite all my theories, it is never made clear whether or not humans already lived on Fodlan when Sothis got there! The beginning cutscene flashes (Sothis's memories) show us a gorilla first, which implies that either life was not advanced, or humans did not exist by then.
Let's say humans did exist then. Sothis landed there and just started her own family. She never took any land by force? She shared knowledge with the humans which allowed them to build modern cities. That's not colonization. Please look up cases of actual colonization; I beg of you.
Sothis is more accurately an immigrant who shares her own culture with others.
"Sothis is not a god but a space alien"
It's never confirmed if Sothis is a space alien so that's actually just theory/headcanon.
Even if, all of her feats (and the dev's words) say that she's a god.
There are many more takes like these, but these are the ones I remember from the top of my head.

and considering this is a track lando has never vibed with while it's literally oscar's favorite track and one he achieved a lot of success on in junior categories, i'm happy with this result versus a 2023 repeat. frostytill said on reddit jeddah is to oscar that imola is to lando and that's true. if we're expected to believe oscar is this generational talent, people have got stop reacting like this anytime he finishes in front of lando in any session. lando outqualified carlos in 2020, and their points h2h even went into the final race, yet nobody was calling carlos washed over less than .100 second 🤔
Jeddah to Oscar = Imola to Lando is so apt
saw someone use the word "dominated"
there was at most a tenth and a half between them across the 3 sessions, if we're getting specific: 0.150, 0.136 and 0.043....
Mercedes had a similar gap and more between them across the sessions, are they going to say George dominated Lewis?
this narrative is so fucking old and boring, it's a GOOD thing McLaren has two drivers who qualify well ffs
