At this point I no longer want to talk with people who go on about how WoF needs to be more gorey and gruesome I'm straight up going to strangle them through the screen

#sp-rambles #IT'S A BOOK FOR THIRD GRADERS SHUTT UPPP #Not to also mention they miss the dual meaning of Arctic's death being underdescribed #Where in Darkstalker feels it was undeserved and not nearly as rewarding as he believed it to be #He was hoping for this moment the entire book and when it finally happens it's disappointing #Like yeah it's censored because Book Series For Children but also consider the meaning of it

My energy to render characters properly has been kinda low, but I also couldn't help myself from having a shot at the Darkstalker cover because I really liked the red bg (and bc I felt like his face on the cover didn't match his name lol).

Really just drew the design on a whim but I did like the idea of making him look different in my own way.

Important Note: I only just started reading book 1 today of WoF lmao so I have no strong opinions on characters yet, I just love and adore dragons very much.

WoF fans are always the biggest WoF haters

#minus me im an exception #bht tui could have written arc 3 better #or gotten rid of it #or introduced it better #she could make a winglet on Chameleon #and she could have actually made winter's character development in book 7 mean something #why is winter treated like the only thing he does is be angry #like his whole frieng group keeps a secret from him. THE SECRET BEING DARKSTALKER WHO MANIPULATED HIM INTO WORSHIPPING HIMSELF(DARKSTALKER) #WAS TURNED INTO A BABY AND CAN DO NOTHING NOW. because they thought winter wouod be mad. #THE ONKY THING HE GONNA BE MAD FOR IS THAT YOU KEPT THE SECRET SO LONG #also moonbli was rushed and they should tui should have written more moonbli moments if she wanted them to be canon #anyways im done talking in tags #wings of fire #wof #wof winter #wof chameleon #wof darkstalker #wof arc 3

you guys need to read legends: darkstalker.

seriously

like, go have a book about the inevitability of your own downfall. a book about about the importance of love in the face of tragedy. about the nature of free will. about absolute power corrupting absolutely. about nature vs nurture. about trying to save what you know you have already lost. about the cycle of war and pain and hate. about the fear and horror of yourself and what you might do. about trauma and love and violence and hope and death and the spiraling loss of everything you love.

#ninjago #lego ninjago #ciftrchats #ninjago fans you are my target audience #go read this book i know you will love it #it’s dragons go wild #wings of fire #wof #sorry i’m not shutting up about this book anytime soon #i have read it 4 times #legend of darkstalker #legends darkstalker #legends: darkstalker #darkstalker

I think the real reason why Artic’s death is so horrifying isn’t because of the gore. It’s because it represents Darkstalker finally becoming the monster he was prophecized to be.

The entire book you know how it’s going to end. Darkstalker will be sealed beneath a mountain, Clearsight will flee the continent, and Fathom leaves the public eye with Indigo. The build up is an entirely different story. All three of them want the future to be different, one where they stay together and avoid the grim fate that awaits them, and for a few brief periods all over the story you think they will. Clearsight says that she had almost entirely written out the scroll as a possibility because of how few timelines it appeared in.

Fathom manages to gradually reign in Darkstalker to the point where the thought of him enchanting the goblet was shocking. And yet, Darkstalker continues down the dark path. He doesn’t trap Indigo just because he loathes her (although that definitely contributed to it). He traps her because it’s a stepping stone to getting Fathom more willing to use his animus powers, weather that be voluntarily or not. He gives Clearsight the earrings not because he dislikes her power. He gives it to her because it’s only a temporary thing to make sure she’s happier and he check all her work anyway, so nothing bad would happen!

Darkstalker has convinced himself that every action he does is the right one. It’s all to move them towards the best possible future, where everyone’s happy in the end. At least… he says that. Some part of Darkstalker still knows these are wrong. That’s why he wrote them in the invisible ink. That’s why he never fully enchanted, Clearsight or Fathom to change. Little, justifiable nudges that he could write off as a necessary evil. It doesn't matter how they get to the big, happy ending. Just that they get there in the first place. Everyone will be happy then, so when he reveals what he did they'll be mad for a bit but will ultimately accept that it all worked out in the end.

It's this philosophy that helps Darkstalker continue. He's not a monster because he never changes them directly, only with something small and disposeable like an object. He is so terrifed of being that bloodstained dragon in the future he refuses to do it directly, maintaining plausable deniability the entire time. It creates a buffer between them, and as long as it stands he considers himself blameless.

Even when everyone else is against him for surviving Quickdeath’s attack, he doesn’t focus on the fact that they are horrified that he enchanted himself to be invulnerable and instead says that the problem is resolved and is shocked that they aren’t relieved and going on as normal.

When he enchants Arctic, he still doesn’t lay a hand on him. Not his claws. He is not bloody. Not yet. He flies Arctic to the center of the Nightwing kingdom and creates a mock trial out of his father’s death. He kills him as a show of power, yes, but convinced himself it’s justifiable. He waits for the crowd’s reaction before doing it.

Arctic’s death isn’t even that descriptive. The book says that it was “messy” but there aren’t pages and pages of vivid gore. It’s a short paragraph and while it is the culmination of Darkstalker’s decent into power-driven madness the violence is so very small in a book filled with it. There’s no return from here. Clearsight says it herself, when everything is done. She can’t return to the Nightwings after being seen on that stage with Darkstalker. This is what finally gets Fathom to give up on any attempts to bring him back to the friendly, charming version of the Darkstalker he knew.

There’s no return for Darkstalker, either. In his mind, he’s won. He’s “triumphed” over Arctic after all this time. He’s finally killed someone. No. He’s finally made someone kill themselves. Like some sort of horrible gotcha to the universe, there is no blood on his claws. No blemishes on his body. Even when killing his father, he remains blameless in his mind. He would have remained blameless when killing anyone else.
