Cricket: Bumblebee got in a fight this morning.
Willow: oh no, that's terrible!
Sundew: did she win
reblogging this to spread the word
I propose we call the Arc 3 Protagonists ‘Rebels of Pantala’ or RoP
You might have noticed that while we have DoD and JW for the first two arcs, there’s no tag that can properly describe the protagonists of arc 3. However, the French copy of Hive Queen is titled ‘the Rebels of Pantala’- if that were what the book was called in English, we’d probably already be referring to them by that.
TL;DR: ‘Rebels of Pantala’ will make tagging and finding posts easier and give us something to call them that’s not ‘arc 3 protagonists’
Cricket: Sundew, what do you want for Christmas?
Sundew: revenge.
Cricket: What practical thing do you want for Christmas?
Sundew: instruments of torture.
Cricket: What harmless thing do you want for Christmas?
Sundew: a new tea kettle.
Cricket: why would you give a knife to a child?!
Sundew: Bumblebee felt unsafe.
Cricket: well, now I feel unsafe!
Sundew: I'm sorry.
Sundew: would you like a knife?
Sundew: *pointing to her chest* the Othermind can’t beat us, because we have this
Blue: we have heart?
Sundew: heart? no, me. I was pointing to myself. I'm gonna fucking kill it
Can we get some Sunlow headcanons? I live for that ship
absolutely 😌
warnings: a little swearing, a dash of angst, and as much fluff as possible
Sundew is self-conscious about her gold scales; she associates glitter and jewelry with spoiled HiveWings and ditzy airheads so she thinks they make her look stupid and un-intimidating
Of course Willow won't stand for that
She loves peppering little kisses all over Sundew's face, wings, shoulders, neck, and pretty much anywhere else her gold scales are
She also makes her own jewelry using whatever yellow things she can find in the forest, like flowers and sometimes bugs
(that's one kind of unrelated headcanon of mine - LeafWings, and maybe RainWings too, use dead insect shells and stuff to make earrings, rings, bracelets, etc)
Sundew will look for literally ANY excuse from her mother to go on a mission that will keep her away from the village, so she won't have to wait until night to see Willow
She'll go out hunting for a *long* time almost every day and Belladonna and Hemlock just dismiss it as her being in a rebellious teenage phase and sulking around avoiding everyone
Because of her meet-ups with Willow, Sundew's sleep schedule is FUCKED
Whenever Sundew summons up flowers for her, Willow will insist on making flower crowns for each other
If they were humans they'd definitely braid flowers in each other's hair
Knowing the only reason she was born is vengeance can be a little hard on Sundew sometimes. She's pretty good at hiding her real emotions under a mask of anger, but if Willow asks her what's wrong, she will collapse
She's always felt deep down that her parents don't love her, which gives her a paralyzing fear of abandonment
Most of the time, however, she feels genuinely confident in herself. An absolute bad bitch, she is
Being with Willow raises her self-esteem by a LOT. Before they had met, the only thing Sundew felt confident in was her leafspeak
Willow helps her with that, too! She teaches Sundew how to treat the plants with love instead of ordering them around like a war general
"you have to be kind to them, Sundew. treat them like a friend! don't just use them to get what you want."
They sleep tangled up in each other, like cats
Sundew isn't normally prone to physical affection, but with Willow, there is so much. just kisses and hugs and cuddles and touching all the time
And pet names!!!! god I'm obsessed with pet names
The ones they use the most are sweetheart, honey, darling, and of course, "forever dragon" and "light of my life"
Willow likes to call Sundew "my treasure" because of her scales
Sundew calls Willow "petal"
She likes tracing the little leaf shapes on Willow's underbelly
"Sundew, that tickles!"
"Yeah, it tickles when you do that to my gold scales, too, but you don't hear me complaining"
It's true, she would never complain about Willow. never in a million years <3

Bumblebee earlier that morning, barging into Sundew's room, clanging two pans together: WAKE UP WAKE UP WAKE UP WAKE UP WAKE UP
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.
