What if skywing were coloured based on the hotness of their fire?

Darker and red skywings are looked down upon and lighter yellow/white sky wings are treated better.

Blue skywings are treated almost like royalty and light blue ones are extremely rare.

Lighter white blue skywings are often mistaken for icewings by other dragons.

There hasn’t been a white blue skywing born in centuries, and they are talked about like angels.

(Btw all of these skywings are free adopts! Y’all can ask for one :)

Winter wants to try a Sandwing delicacy, Qibli doubts he’ll like the crunchy spicy treat.

[ID]

A setting desert sun casts a warm glow upon a soft blue Icewing and dusty yellow Sandwing. Qibli offers a sand-roasted fire toad to Winter who courageously moves to eat it.

“Again-if you don’t like it just spit it out.” Qibli says with an admiring smile.

[End Id]

Winter acts grumbly and uncaring, but really he wants to embrace Qibli’s traditions and foods as his own. Even if they’re bizarre or unfamiliar, he loves the smile Qibli gives him each time he does. Qibli realizes this, and a deep fondness fills his chest. Wings brush and smiles soften.

WOF marriage hcs:

Icewings: Marriage is absolutely expected and societally pressured for everyone, Marriage for political reasons is common, Monogamy is a must, children are raised by both parents

Skywings: Marriage is mostly for the rich, monogamy is common, children are often raised by only one parent

Sandwings: Marriage is for political leaders (Royal Family & Nomadic group leaders) only, Marriage for political reasons is the rule, polyamory is common, children are raised by whoever wants them

Mudwings: No concept of marriage, romance is stigmatized, Children raised by the fathers sib group and the community as a whole

Seawings: Marriage is for whoever wants to get married, Political Marriages are common amongst the rich, equal split between monogamy and polyamory, children are raised by parents and extended family

Rainwings: No concept of marriage, polyamory is common, children are raised by the community as a whole

Nightwings: Marriage is for spiritual reasons, Marriages for the right kind of fate or power are common, monogamy is very common, children are raised by both parents

Younger and older Freedom version :] 💖

Hi y’all I got busy in college and don’t have time to post until now lol

Anyway I did read all of the books in third arc except the dragonslayer one 😭 and i rlly enjoy the part where Freedom was in! I wish we can get more from her haha

Anyway I decided to have fun with her design! Since the book mentioned her eyes r kinda similar to rainwing so I imagine she was leaf/rain so that’s why she have these neat frills plus it’s one of my au hc that ancient leafwing and rainwing would have these until it faded away as it became rarer hehe

What if instead of having bioluminescent scales seawings spoke underwater by either slightly changing the color of their scales like cuttlefish (suggesting they're closely related to rainwings) OR used a language consisting of clicks and whistles unique to them

#maybe both??? #wof #wings of fire #hc #wof hc #kiwi rambles #icewings might be able to learn it but i imagine itd be much harder for them #rainwings too since they're able to mimic birds n whatnot

[pitske]

Do you guys think SeaWings have folklore based on hearing those eery glacier sounds underwater? Like Julia or the bloop (i hope i remembered those names right)

Like do you think Seawings heard that underwater and thought it was some kind of dragonet-snatching boogieman?

And since it would only happen once (or rarely) the old Seawings would keep warning about it and tell stories of it and the younger generations would be like „pssshz yeah right tahts just a story told to missbehaving dragonets“ and then it happens again and everyone freaks out????

#sorry if this has been done before #a post about seawing language made me spiral #do you think icewings would someday explain zhe noise to them? #or would Icewings also not know where the sound is from? #etc etc #idk guys #pitskederdoenerhaendler #wings of fire #wings of fire headcanons #wof #wof headcanon #wof hc #wings of fire hc #wof seawing #wings of fire seawing #i‘m gonns look so stupid if someone tells me this is in teh books cause I just haveng read them all yet

Additional WoF hcs

SandWings have a type of adapted webbing between their claws from their common ancestry with SeaWings, to keep them from sinking in the sand.

IceWings also have similar so they can swim and walk on the snow.

MudWings love frogs and will consider it good luck if they see a bullfrog, especially a particularly large one. For this reason, they tend to depict cranes and herons, which eat frogs, as crafty and a little bit evil in their storytelling.

MudWings generally don't eat alligators because of the belief they are related.

SkyWings incorporate eagles into their religious beliefs and believe that they are sacred, like angels or watchful guardian spirits in disguise, and they are Apalled at the prospect of eating one.

Coral loves dolphins so much, she named her daughter Orca. That's not really a headcanon, that's just a thing I just realized lol

SeaWings have a popular dessert they like to make from red kelp, it's like gelatin or pudding. It's especially popular among the lower class dragons.

SkyWings really aren't sure what to do with their war-mutilated veterans, especially the lower class ones. They hate any sort of imperfection, but they also admire the fact that they survived battle at all, so they altogether just try not to think about them. Maybe they even have a closed off section of town where they encourage them to stay. :(

I'm not sure if this happened already but I'm sure Thorn is going to either destroy the weirdling tower and cause riots or she will destroy the building and put the contents into a proper museum to preserve what an awful dragon Burn was

SeaWings have the highest literacy rate next to NightWings. Many IceWings can't read much more than their own names.

SeaWings can be immune to jellyfish venom.

Toys commonly given to dragonets include wooden, clay, or iron figures, dolls made from wood, cloth, or sometimes grass, stuffed animals, wooden practice weapons, dress up jewelry made from glass, and more. Additionally, dragonets, especially in the Kingdom of Sky, are commonly given bones to chew as an equivalent to being given a lollipop.

Dragons regrow their teeth multiple times in their life, as part of the reason they're able to live so long. This comes from their common ancestry with crocodilians.

There is said by RainWings to be a species of eagle in the rainforest that is similar to a harpy eagle, but much bigger, with talons as big as a dragon's. It has been reported to have flown away with dragonets before, and though a very rare occurrence, RainWings tell their dragonets about it partially for their safety and partially to scare them into listening to them. The eagle is probably called something SkyWing related---after one of the queens, perhaps. These predator attacks are one of the only reasons that RainWings still have venom.

As well as flowers, RainWings like to decorate themselves and their homes with brightly colored feathers they find.

NightWings, upon coming to the rainforest, have since introduced RainWings to glass flower vases. Many RainWings love them. They have also introduced them to the concept of cooking fruit to make jam and juicing it and/or fermenting to make tasty drinks

SandWings believe that ravens are a good omen and enjoy leaving scraps of prey out for them. They admire their tendency to clean up what is upsetting and avoided by most. IceWings see them as a symbol of death or a warning and are extremely creeped out by their intelligence.

Despite their love for ravens, SandWings are really annoyed by their obnoxious cousins, crows, and it is not an uncommon sight to see them chasing the birds away with a broomstick

MudWings are delighted whenever they see bluejays or similarly bright colored temperate forst birds, but not for any spiritual reason. They just don't see bright colors often :D

MudWings generally find it extremely disrespectful to pick flowers, especially ones that grow on someone else's property, because brightly colored flowers are not especially common in the swamps. It's quite the culture shock when they meet RainWings who pick every pretty blossom in sight.

Similarly, if a SandWing finds a flower in the desert which is wilting, they are obligated to bring it water.

There are giant flowers on Pantala (and maybe in some parts of Pyriah?) that evolved to be pollinated by dragons like Hivewings and they emerge from the flowers looking like this

Here’s what I think growing up in a dark cave and only having river water would do to tsunami :)

Ik that technically none of this would make sense in real life, and this type of evolution would only take place after a long time BUT A GIRL CAN DREAM OK.

Just some headcannons that I think would make her more diff and interesting

whats ur opinion on dragons having different houses bc of class or tribe? i love dragon architecture </3

I'm such a fan of dragon architecture oh my god. One of my biggest worldbuilding gripes (besides the lack of clarity around food/cooking) is that the actual housing arrangements of the dragons are so vague????? Like towns are a thing but also Tui seems to imply most dragons sleep in caves even though it makes no sense for any of the other tribes???? like ma'am most of your dragons live in swamps, jungles, or deserts where the hell are they even finding them

Basically, we have functionally no point of reference for anyone who isn't royalty (Winter, Turtle) or grew up in such specific circumstances that don't reflect back onto broader dragon society to the point where their input is rather moot (Moon, the DoD, Peril, Qibli). Qibli is the closest thing we have but the Scorpion Den is a combination of a shanty town and refugee camp that makes it harder to draw conclusions for the rest of the population. (We're also not counting Darkstalker bc. well. 2000 years)

For my writing, my stance is usually that dragons are primarily nomadic. Dragons who live in/around towns stay there primarily for reasons like child-raising, business, injury, apprenticeships, or just laying low/blending into a crowd. Like with how dragons don't need to cook their food to eat it, dragons are not dependent on housing and are able to comfortably sleep and live outside (barring extremes such as the central desert or really the entire Ice Kingdom). So, the exact permanence of a dragon's stay in town is situational and tribe/job-dependent more than anything else.

As far as the tribes go, Icewings and Nightwings are the most home/town oriented tribes- both tribes have the rarest approach to housing in that almost all members of both tribes live and sleep primarily in one home location that they return to for the majority of their life. For Icewings, this usually looks like multi-generational families that split off into new homes/houses only once there's a real need for it. On the other hand, Nightwings living on the volcano lived primarily together in caves/dormitories divided by age- even though this no longer exists, most Nightwing towns and houses involve many shared buildings and resemble something more like tight clumps of houses or caves.

For the majority of the tribes (Skywings, Sandwings, Mudwings, Rainwings), most dragons will have multiple houses that they move between as needed or wanted. While outliers exist, most dragons have at minimum two homes/dens: one in a more populated area that might operate as a job homebase or a place to receive guests, and a more isolated, private home that exists for the dragon in question to stash any items of importance or valuables, as well as eat and sleep. For more nomadic dragons, banks exist in towns to hold treasure, freeing up their secondary/non-work den to be little more than a shack or burrow with sleeping arrangements. More houses usually equals more money/class power, up to a certain point, where you start to see buildings more akin to Vulture's mansion or even the Royal Palaces, where one building or collection of buildings is large/grandiose enough to host other people's jobs and living spaces (on a related note, gardening is a very stereotypical high class hobby to have, as it shows both an abundance of leisure time and of space).

Between these tribes, Skywings are the most town and home oriented- Skywings often live primarily in towns and only leave for what is essentially a nesting den, as without rudimentary flight skills, Skywing towns are borderline unnavigable and occasionally hazardous for dragonets. Even with their relative isolation, nesting dens in the past have often been located near other nesting dens, creating something of a nesting village for Skywings parents to socialize and raise their hatchlings. Queen Scarlet's reign did irreparable damage to this style of collective child-rearing and nesting dens as a whole. With her breeding programs, most Skywings were forced into partnerships for the sole reason of producing more future Skywing soldiers, and the majority of eggs were instead stored in mass hatcheries until their hatching day.

On the other hand, Mudwings are the most isolated and nomadic, in part due to the structure of sib groups creating a situation where most Mudwings hatch into life with a social network already established. The Mud Kingdom is also temperate enough that housing isn't always necessary, and most Mudwings only congregate in towns for business or seeking a mate.

Finally, Seawings are almost entirely nomadic, and will usually move between a territory, with small dens and hoards scattered within. These territories can hold many multiple families, or they can exist for a single dragon- Seawing property laws are almost nonexistent and mostly maintained by honor and frequent patrolling of the territory to maintain order and mark it as lived space. These territories aren't uninhabited land either- Seawings will grow seaweed and herd schools of fish on their territory, and many take a certain landscaper-esque role, shaping the terrain into something aesthetically pleasing or useful to the inhabitant and helping signal to other Seawings that the land is occupied. One of the few times Seawings will settle in one den or space is for a hatching den- this lasts from the laying of the eggs until the hatchlings become able to swim well enough to keep up with their parents.

I've been pretty burnt out on WOF writing for a while, but this was honestly a refreshing change of pace from what I've been working on recently. Thanks for giving me an excuse to ramble about dragon housing !! I'd love to hear what other ppl think, the more headcanons the merrier :>

i like to headcanon that icewings will introduce themselves as the child of whoever is their higher ranking parent

so they'd be like "I'm Winter of the IceWings, son of Tundra"

or if their parent was the queen, they'd automatically introduce themselves as the child of said queen (or former queen)

so "I'm Queen Snowfall of the IceWings, daughter of Former Queen Glacier"

i just think its a neat little headcanon. there's no evidence for this (if anything, a counter evidence with no dragon ever introducing themselves as that), but i think it'd be cool
