So My Friend Said This

So my friend said this

And in response I sent her this rant which took 20 minutes to write (I would cut the post here but idk how to do it on mobile tumblr):

Sundew and Tsunami are definitely very similar, but one of their biggest differences has to do with family. Tsunami has a loving (sometimes overprotective) mother, as well as her sisters and her brothers. Sure, she was stolen as an egg, but at least she had the other dragonets of destiny - their friendship probably saved a lot of them from major emotional issues. When Tsunami starts raging (like the time she attacked that SkyWing), it's mostly out of wanting to protect her friends or herself.

However, Sundew grew up with no really close relationships we can see other than Willow, who she doesn't even get to see very often. Her parents only had her to make her into a weapon of revenge, which probably messed with her head at least a little. Her mother appears to constantly be yelling at her, arguing with her, and pushing her too hard, and her father seems to be pretty absent most of the time. Which he does have in common with Tsunami's dad, you know, because he's dead. So sure, both of them probably have some form of trauma, but Sundew most likely has more insecurity and lashes out because she doesn't believe she's worth anything beyond vengeance against the HiveWings. (That's my headcanon anyway.)

Before Cricket, Blue, and the others, Sundew was only fighting for the lost forests and the LeafWing tribe, and so she can prove to her mother that she's her own person and she can decide for herself what she wants. Meanwhile, Tsunami probably feels that she's accomplished her mission in life, and like Sundew, she believes she can choose her own path in life, instead of a fate someone else has set for her; whether it be a parent or a prophecy.

In conclusion, Sundew and Tsunami are very similar characters, but just because they have agressive personalities doesn't mean you should put them in a box together and ignore their amazing backstories and motivations.

Update: I decided to turn this in for an english assignment and my teacher gave it an 11.5/12

I love how literally as soon as book 14 came out everyone collectively agreed that snowfall has orange accents

Out of curiosity, who are your favourite WoF characters?

Okay, so this took me some thinking but these are probably my top six (because I couldn't pick just five) in no particular order

1. Kinkajou

2. Swordtail

3. Peril

4. Tsunami

5. Glory

6. Qibli

Most (read: all) of these are just characters I kin but I also just like them as characters bc they have cool backstories and personalities. Especially Peril, i liked her so much in elementary school that my friends would always give me a bunch of orange and yellow Peril-themed merch my friends made and gave to me. I still have most of them, actually.

I READ THE DANGEROUS GIFT LAST NIGHT

It was SO INTENSE

I AM STILL IN SHOCK

JERBOA WAS JUST- I HAVE NO WORDS

AAAAAAAÀAAAAAAAAAH

do you have any idea of what a wof my hero academia human au would be like? it doesn't have to be fleshed out,i just want hcs i guess

Okay so I know you said you just wanted headcanons but this idea got my brain going and I ended up with a whole fanfiction ready to be written so expect that soon :) i'll get to the plot in a second but here's all the quirks i came up with for the main characters (third arc characters will probably come later, for now it's just the first and second arc). All these characters are half-dragon in this AU, so they still have wings, tails, and/or fire, depending on their tribe.

Clay

Quirk name: Fire Resistance

He is resistant to all fire - putting mud on his skin strengthens his Quirk and replenishes his energy. Because of this, while he was under the mountain, everyone thought he was Quirkless. It wasn’t until they escaped that he rolled around in some mud and later found out that this activated his Quirk.

Tsunami

Quirk name: Tsunami

She can create any amount of water, from a single droplet to a huge wave (although that takes a lot more energy). Since she grew up under a mountain, she doesn’t have much control over her Quirk, so she avoids creating large waves unless completely necessary. Similar to Clay, drinking or being in water strengthens her Quirk and replenishes her energy.

Glory

Quirk name: Jungle

She can change the colors of her skin and scales, either for camouflage or for colorful displays, and she can shoot deadly corrosive venom from her fangs.

Starflight

Quirkless

Sunny

Quirkless

Moon

Quirk name: Future Vision and Mind Reading

She inherited both her parent’s Quirks; she can read the mind of anyone within her range, and she can receive visions or prophecies from the future. She doesn’t have much control over her Future Vision; it’s not entirely accurate and what she sees can often be changed. Some downsides; she can’t turn off her mind reading, she can only block out thoughts temporarily. She also gets headaches from her visions or if she’s hearing too many people’s thoughts at once.

Winter

Quirk name: Frostbreath

Nicknamed “freezing death breath,” he can shoot icelike breath from his mouth that freezes anything it touches, and can even kill someone. Because of this, he also radiates cold.

Peril

Quirk name: Firescales

A mutation that causes her to be covered in scales that burn/melt almost everything that touches them - except her, of course. The only things they’re not hot enough to melt are certain kinds of metal and rock. She usually wears either armourlike clothes made of tungsten, or clothes made of fireproof scales or skin she got from the Sky Palace.

Turtle

Quirk name: Animus

A mutation that is derived from the ancient magic of his dragon ancestors. This Quirk allows him to manipulate and/or enchant living and nonliving things.

Qibli

Quirkless, but still has a venomous barb on his tail

Kinkajou

Quirk name: Jungle

Same Quirk as Glory; she can change her skin/scale colors and spit deadly venom, although her venom is much weaker.

Okay, now that all the Quirks are done, let’s get to the plot. (Also, if you want me to add more characters, let me know!) My first idea for this was that Pyrrhia is a separate continent on Earth, somewhere in the ocean near Japan. Also, just for some lore or backstory or whatever so this all makes more sense, instead of the Scorching being when the dragons took over the humans, it’s when dragons integrated into human society. This results in it being more common to be half-dragon, or have dragon ancestors, than to have a Quirk. Otherwise, everything is pretty much the same.

This takes place after book 5, but instead of Jade Mountain Academy, the Dragonets of Destiny decide to move to Japan and work at UA High. How do they speak Japanese, you ask? I have no idea, but it’s my fanfiction and I get to choose the language so just pretend it makes sense. Anyway, they choose a few dragons (namely, the Jade Winglet) to take with them as exchange students, sort of. In this AU, Darkstalker is buried near UA High instead of Jade Mountain in Pyrrhia so they still have an antagonist. Also, the League of Villains kind of replaces Vulture’s Talons of Power. The Jade Winglet will still have the same name, even though the classes aren’t called winglets, since they’re still a small group of dragons, so technically they can still be called a winglet. (No, I’m not just lazy, what are you talking about?) That’s all for now, but stay tuned for part two, which will have actual headcanons!

This thing

But it's tdg characters (and characters I wish were in tdg)

edit: I forgot to credit the person who drew the art for swordtail but it's @swordfangs
