Thinkin about Moonwatcher again

AU where she’s actually terrible at hiding her powers and it’s only through BBC Merlin levels of pure obliviousness that nobody finds out.

She thinks they know. They don’t.

Notable examples of Things That Have Happened Because Moon Is A Terrible Actor include:

- Kinkajou’s mind in music class: “man what’s that song that’s like ‘IF OUR LOOOVE’S INSANITY WHY ARE YOU MY CLARITY’”

Moon: (immediately starts singing Clarity by Zedd because now it’s stuck in HER head too) (realizes) (stops and shuffles awkwardly)

- Moon finally working up the courage to volunteer to read aloud to the class but she suddenly gets The Vision TM and starts reciting the Jade Mountain prophecy, glowy eyes and all, before apologizing awkwardly and continuing right back into the book. She distances herself from everyone as much as she can the rest of the day but nobody notices anything and just assumed she got lost somehow because she DID drop her book when the vision started

- Moon bringing up SPECIFICALLY the moment where Cobra threw Qibli at the wall for stealing her a coconut in conversation about childhoods “yeah my mom was terrible” “yeah didn’t you like steal a coconut for her and she threw you at the wall??? And you were like REALLY young at the time right???” “…I don’t remember telling you that but yEAH she did” (awkward look from Moon)

- Moon slipping up and saying there are “too many thoughts in here” in a crowded room and even as she’s stiffening up and has this SUPER awkward look on her face everyone just assumes she means her brain like anyone else would

-Moon saying “Mood” when the chorus to Noise by Leah Marlene plays and immediately covering her mouth and looking guilty (all jokes aside please check out this song it’s so good)

-Moon winning 20 questions MULTIPLE times in a row. She’s banned from guessing games now. She always asks one or two questions just to be a lil bit normal but it’s like. “I’m thinking of an animal” “is it furry?” “No” “corn snake?” “yEAH ACTUALLY-”

-Moon having designated a lil area that nobody really goes to where she can run off to if she feels a vision coming on and she’s able to run and Peril getting lost and walking in on her a GAZILLION times (bonus points if it’s in Stonemover’s cave purely because that’d be really funny)

And combine that with the canon muttering prophecies in her sleep and knowing immediately what’s wrong with Bandit and it’s just overall a REALLY suspicious picture

So of course she’s VERY confused after the history cave incident when it turns out NOBODY knew.

(Not even Kinkajou, who unironically used the expression “you just read my mind” SO many times around her it COULDN’T have been a coincidence, right???)

Thinkin about this au again I think it’d be funny if there was just ONE (1) dragon who suspected that MAYBE Moon did have powers but nobody believes them. That dragon would probably be either Winter or Qibli and I cannot decide which one. (I came up with this addition at 3 am and for some reason the first dragon that came to my half-asleep mind was PERIL probably because she’s my other favorite but as funny as it would be I don’t think she would suspect so now that I’m awake it’s gonna be one of the Qinter and I can’t decide which so

Every single Moon Rising scene involving Winter and Moon ever:

Winter: (glares)

Moon, panicking: What do you want from me I can’t read your mind???

Moon, who can in fact read his mind: (under her breath) nailed it.

Okay guys hear me out if the WoF TV show ever gets to Moon Rising I think it’d be cool if the “vision of the history cave” scene started out loud and panicky with both Moon screaming and all the voices being confused.

But at some point or other the loudest thing you can hear is this, (headphone warning to be safe it’s a big drop) which up until now has just been the background music. (For those with some trust issues or who just don’t want to click links without knowing it’s an orchestral remix of Moonwatcher’s Lullaby)

And not everybody will know. But those of us who know. Will KNOW.

Also! When it dies down, the last part of that remix is where the lyrics on the original said “say secret, stay hidden, stay safe, little one, for you are all I hold dear.” And it plays that part as Moon finally lets go of her mother’s instructions and tells her winglet that she can read minds and see the future.

I love how they made Moon Morrowseer's daughter and then did absolutely nothing with it

I feel like the problem with Qibli x Moon is that it Qibli won't really grow with her. Qibli's problem is that he's a people (dragon?) pleaser, he wants to be loved and he will do anything to make people love him. It's especially visible during their confrontation with Winter in Darkness of Dragons. Does Qibli really believe Winter is in the wrong? He must know he has a point, but he will side with Moon anyway.

On the other hand, Winter is not so easily pleased and he will stand for what he believes in. Qinter would allow both of them to overcome their issues and they would inspire each other to grow, while with Moon, he just follows the same harmful pattern.
