Wing AU Headcanons
wJust some headcanons that my friends and I came up with about Wings AU! Plus, a little Wings AU stress exercise I came up with :D
There are yoga courses for special types of wings! Since some wings are heavier or lighter than others, a lot of yoga instructors have seperate courses for seperate types of wings.
Insect wings like dragonfly and butterfly wings that canāt fold like bird wings have evolved to fold flat across the back, but the muscle is stiff and sometimes painful, so people with these wings donāt really use the function unless absolutely necessary.
āHOW IN THE WORLD DO I FIT IN THIS SHOWER?ā
Touching someoneās wings without permission is taboo, and violators can be fined/sued.
When swimming, certain wing types can be used as a third set of appendages while others slow you down or donāt do anything.
When people fall in love, their experience is a little like a birdās courtship ritual/habits(for instance, burrowing owls are very affectionate with each other)
Some wings stiffen seasonally depending on the bird/insectās status during that time
Some people use family types as zodiac signs. āOh my god, youāre a kite? Iām a thrush, we wonāt get along togetherā āYouāre a dragonfly? I love dragonflies!ā āYea, heās a bat... so it didnāt work outā āyāknow how owls can getā
Owls have earned the stereotype of being bookish and intelligent, so people with a bookish personality are sometimes referred to as āowlishā
General stereotypes depending on wing type as well, peacocks are known as confident and extroverted while hummingbirds are known as shy
Some people decorate their wings
Trans people can get surgeries to alter the wing based on their gender preference.
Size of a wing is one of the things people notice when they meet for the first time, but most people donāt judge based on it.
People can dye their feathers.
A lot of people prefer softer mattresses so they can lay on their wings comfortably. Hammocks are also a popular choice.
POV: you just went through an emotionally challenging situation and you feel stressed and sad. You make yourself a cup of hot cocoa and sit on the couch, wrapping yourself in your wings and watching the rain fall outside.
The Greeks worshipped the winged versions of the gods
People with swift(the bird) wings often have extravagant weddings, and the most popular activity on a date is to go flying. This is due to influence from the swiftsā intricate and dramatic courtship rituals--swifts will plummet down canyons together and pull up at the last second, wings interlocked.
You can get piercings on the wing. Most people get it along the top edge of their wing, but people with thin wings like butterflies and dragonflies get them on the bottom or along the side.
Sometimes the type of wing you have can affect your interests
*shakes wing and something falls out* āohh, so thatās where that wentā
Wing painting is a big trend. Artists with white wings often showcased their skills by painting beautiful murals on the inside of their wings.
Someone also created wing paint pens
āAre you drawing on your wings agAinā
in class, people with large wings or wings that protrude above their head when folded hover or sit on hammocks in the back to make more room
trampolines are a really good commodity for beginner flyers, usually toddlers, because they give a good boost
When someone catches a ball in dodgeball with their wings: āWAIT THATāS NOT FAIRā
Firemen sheltering people with their wings even if they get hurt
Similarly, military people and policemen have wing attachments so they can use them as bulletproof shielding
Special brushes for feathers to make them smooth and clean, and cloths for smooth wings like insect wings and bat wings
Stained glass windows based off of dragonfly wings
Dancers with multicolored wings and bird of paradise wings
Also, performers/singers with clear wings like dragonfly wings that reflect light like a disco ball, and small children with tiny fluffy wings running around chasing the light
Also, whenever someone with clear wings walks down the street thereās just a horde of cats following them because of the little tiny lights being reflected
Small children with bird wings shed their down so taking care of a child is very...fluffy
So the stress exercise is pretty simple and hopefully it works. Thereās just a few steps:
Imagine your wings. They can be as fantasy-like as you want, or as symbolic to you as you want, or as simple as you want. but make it something that makes you smile when you imagine it. You can even reblog this with a description (and tell me if it works!)
Then, just put them mentally on your back. Really feel the weight of the wings on your back. They can be in any position, folded, extended, folded around you. Maybe, if they feel solid enough, you could move them a little.
Thatās it! Thatās the exercise. It always makes me feel better, so let me know what you felt(if anything)
Also, if anyone wants me to help them figure out what kind of wings they have... well, letās say that Iām pretty thorough when it comes to this- just shoot me an ask!
