Turtle: oh, I talked to Moon today, and apparently, she and Qibli might break up.

Kinkajou: oh no, how awful!

Turtle: Kinkajou, you're smiling.

Kinkajou: am I? hmmm.

Which member of your family are the Jade Winglet bros

Moon: quiet, caring older sister

Winter: angsty teen brother

Peril: socially awkward but well-meaning distant cousin that you don't really see a lot

Turtle: shy artistic cousin

Qibli: funny gay cousin

Kinkajou: excitable younger sister

smol moonwatcher animation!!

little moon girl

Moon, yelling over everyone’s thoughts: HI, KINKAJOU!

Kinkajou: Are you yelling at me?

Moon: No, I’m not yelling. I just have a lot of thoughts in my head.

Winter, to Moon: Moonwatcher. You are way too telepathetic.

Turtle, to Moon: Are you telepathetic?

Moon: I’m… pathetic. Don’t worry about it.

Oh hey I now know of four green-coded vision having characters

Yeah I think Moon counts she’s green

Ladies and gentlemen, her

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???)

Uhhh AU where Moon rolls a nat 1 on stealth the first time the Rainwings get close enough to see her and she ends up adopted by them

But WAIT there’s a TWIST

Through a series of misunderstandings and gaslighting, everyone (including Moon herself) is convinced that the voices in her head are just her OWN thoughts (“yeah everyone hears a voice in their heads it’s their thoughts” “but I’ve got like. Twenty.” “Well then you must have a LOT of thoughts”)

And the visions are just products of an overactive imagination or smth (the headaches they come with are TOTALLY coincidental what are you talking about)

So of course she starts hearing from Darkstalker and he’s all hopeful but she’s just like “oh new sound for the thoughts! add it to The Collection! Soon I’ll have a whole PARTY of voice actors in here! :D”

Eventually she recognizes the history cave in THAT vision and she’s too panicked to tell the difference between imagination and reality because it’s just SO VIVID and SO SUDDEN. At least that’s what she thinks until the history cave explodes etc etc

Cue the Jade Winglet realizing “oh, she has Nightwing powers,” followed immediately by them realizing, “OH, tHrEe MoOns she doesn’t even KNOW she has Nightwing powers…”

And from there it’s just a bunch of shenanigans as everyone tries to undo multiple years of gaslighting

As for why Secretkeeper never told her after the Night and Rain kingdoms combined we’re gonna go with she just assumed Moon knew already and it was too late by the time she realized she hadn’t known at all

TLDR

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

Just two teenagers who felt the need to hide their powers from society. One’s technically a dragon but we don’t talk about that.

Gaslight the Moon AU doodle page! (Human AU because dragons are hard :P) (honestly if this is gonna be legible at all it’s gotta be clicked sorry about that)

Not a HUGE fan of how the glowing eyes turned out but it’s f i n e I’ll figure that out at some point

(of course the events of the bottom right image is followed by Moon apologizing profusely for “panicking over nothing” and then everyone has to tell her “Moon the history cave ACTUALLY exploded you foresaw that” and she’s like “??? No I didn’t??? That was purely a coincidence you guys its not like I can sEe ThE fUtUrE or anything” and it takes awhile but eventually people realize “oh frick she ACTUALLY thinks she’s telling the truth”)

The idea for Moon and Turtle cowriting a story came from @aloewing and I loved it so much I had to put it in here :D

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.

The Jade Winglet (minus Umber plus Peril)

Autism creature

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