Oh! He did help Robin build that special Orders board, by...

Just... holding the nails... Why was I told to do this?

WOF ASK/ART PROMPTS!

🦑 - Favorite Tribe? What’s your opinion on that Tribes’ queen?

It has to be SeaWings :'D I've always loved the ocean and aquatic dragons, and I really love my own design for the SeaWings that I've become very attached to. The vague Atlantis vibes and their very artisanal culture speaks to my aesthetics, and I like that they don't have any sort of breath ability but keep up with the other tribes in terms of how they hanble a fight by just being super meaty! My first WoF OC was a SeaWing, and they're definitely my favorite tribe to draw. I've done a lot of my own thinking on them, in a parallel WoF headworld I have so they have a very special place in my heart!

As for my opinions on Coral, I like her quite a bit as a more polarizing queen than the others. Her being the first queen we meet after Scarlet, we want her to be everything Scarlet isn't and everything Tsunami wants her to be, and when we initially meet her and she seems like the perfect queen and mother, I thought that's what she would be, but then the more time we spend with her the more the cracks begin to show and we see her for more of who she really is and I like that a lot. Being Tsunami's mother I wanted her to be the pinnacle of the loving mother and benevolent gracious queen because I love Tsunami and I wanted that for her, unfortunately that ended up not being the case but Coral is far from evil as well. There are things about Coral that frustrate me, but some of them stem from things about the general world culture that frustrate me. I also am very intrigued by the idea that she was potentially teetering on the edges of going completely mad with grief over the losses of her daughters and that's still something sitting somewhere deep in her brain as something she never- and probably will never, recover from. My favorite moment with her is of course the heart to heart she shares with Turtle in Talons of Power, where she gives him closure for what happened between him and his father, and how Gill felt terrible for how harsh he'd been on Turtle over a situation Turtle had no control over and just never had the opportunity to tell him before his death.

I know even within the fandom Coral garners very strong opinions, but that's another thing I like about her. She genuinely unsettles me in a way none of the other Queens or even any of the actual villains have. I love her softer moments like the aforementioned moment with Turtle, but they are then coupled with the instances of her violent tendencies where I genuinely cannot predict what she'll do or how she'll react to things. Like when she threatens to kill Tsunami: her long lost daughter whom she wrote and entire story for in the hopes she'll find it and find her way home, whom she just reunited with, if Tsunami failed to protect Auklet's egg. Or how quick she is to kill subjects who fail her and the ease with with she talks about it. It would always make me slightly nervous of her, which is something I actually like. I am by no means excusing or trying to justify her actions, I just really love how complicated she is and how she genuinely unsettles me at times to read about. I always find characters like that really interesting~

“I mean, yeah. I could see Nova and me together in a different universe. With my hectic and often dangerous line of work, at least I know she could keep up with me as much as my wife MC has been able to.”

“So long as we can communicate with something other than weapons, I could see it working, in an alternate universe that is.”

[Both women look at Human MC for her answer]

[looks them both over and smiles] “I don’t think I’ve seen either of you in our lab before. I’m MC, let me know if I can help you with anything.” [goes back to working on her current project]

[confused and concerned] “…wait, if that’s not my wife MC and it’s not your universe’s wife…”

Zhora: [also deeply disturbed by this current development] “…then what universe are we currently in? The Alien MC’s route?!”

[cue “The Sunset Zone” theme song]

If Nova drinks mocha which has caffeine and has chocolate the same day, does she go on a sugar spree like blue?

She'll be sober.
