Ok Wof Halloween Headcanons Time

IT'S ABOUT A FUCKING BREAKUP

There's no way that this song isn't a bunch of queer allegories in a trench coat.

I still feel like it isn't one somehow. It could honestly just be a bunch of lines the band members thought sounded good.

who drools

oh no. I've been hit with an overwhelming wave of sadness. this sucks

I hate people who draw the dragons with comical large ears

People stating that Sora is less sympathetic and/or is worser than Icicle and - God Forbid - stating that Sora only wanted to kill Icicle in order to take revenge of Icicle for killing Sora’s sister, Crane, honestly makes me feel the urge to rip my hair out.

Sora (unlike Icicle) grew up in a kingdom where dragons from other tribes are able to invade and then attack and kill dragons living within their homes. Her own sister was murdered by Icicle only a couple MONTHS ago when she joined the JMA. Sora is also the closest dragon who shows symptoms of having PTSD, due to the flashbacks she’s shown to experience from the war within Moon Rising.

Due to Sora’s trauma from Icicle killing her sister, she was fearful paranoid her own safety around Icicle, despite the fact that weren’t fighting in the war anyone.

Because of this, when Icicle mentioned in her sleep that “killing is easy enough”, Sora believed that Icicle would be the type of dragon to continue ending other’s lives with her own claws, regardless that the war ended or not. Which made Sora believe that Icicle wouldn’t just kill her sister, but multiple other dragons within the Jade Mountain Academy too. Sora didn’t just kill Icicle to get revenge on her for killing Crane. She did it in order to protect other dragons from being killed by her too.

Like- I’m not making it up nor even exaggerating this part of Sora’s character, this is literally stated in canon.

“Our very first night here, when I still wasn't sure — I was almost sure it was [Icicle], but I thought I must be mad, and I couldn't let myself sleep because what if she did the same thing to me that she did to Crane? And then in her sleep, she muttered, 'Killing is easy enough.' ❗️That's when I knew. She's a murderer and she won't stop until someone does what I failed to do.❗️

-Sora, Moon Rising, Pages 267 - 268

Of course, you could say “But that’s stupid for Sora to think! Icicle didn’t kill Crane because Icicle’s a bloodthirsty murder, it’s because they were fighting in a WAR!”

And while that’s true, here’s the thing: Trauma isn’t (always) logical nor rational.

Fear isn’t an emotion people experience from logic and reasoning.

Let alone for someone having PTSD from a War and living around the very person you saw murder one of your closest family members.

Expecting someone, specifically an Traumatized teenage ex-soldier who only JUST turned 18 - who only recently stopped fighting in a war & only recently clearly saw her sister being murdered - to think rationally towards the person (let alone their PoV) who murdered her sister, is honestly quite illogical and even unreasonable to expect from Sora and her character.

Does this make Sora’s actions excusable and/or justifiable, especially since she didn’t mean to harm any other dragons while attempting to kill Icicle?

HECK NO! It does NOT excuse nor justify literally bombing a room of a school, and attempting to commit literal murder.

Sora’s grief and trauma explains Sora’s motives and actions, and makes her PoV understandable and even sympathetic, but does NOT excuse and/or justify her actions and choices at ALL, what-so-ever - this is true about ICICLE’S character as well.

Then does this mean that Icicle is worser and/or less sympathetic than Sora? HECK NO to that too!!

Icicle was being manipulated by Queen Scarlet, who stated to Icicle that if she didn't kill the DoD, that her brother, Hailstorm - who Scarlet knows the whereabouts of - will DIE, resulting in Icicle to be forced into making the decision of killing multiple of her teachers and a Queen (who she doesn’t know very well) and her brother who she believed was dead for literal YEARS.

And Icicle not caring about killing others is due to her being raised as a literal child soldier throughout her life, being made to repeatedly harm and kill others out on the battlefield.

Sora and Icicle are BOTH morally-gray ex-child soldiers who've been traumatized by the war, who are both sympathetic or at least understandable characters who commit awful and/or immoral actions out of the fear and trauma of losing someone that they love.

So stating that EITHER ONE OF THEM is “less sympathetic” and/or “is worser than the other” honestly feels quite icky and/or irritating to me.

I remember once talking to my partner about the Dragonslayer book (which I have not read myself). I told him I hope there is a scene in there where Sunny does something normal and non-threatening and somehow ends up misinterpreted as a horrifying nightmare creature by a bunch of clueless scavengers with overactive imaginations.

I've sat here for about an hour now, trying to decide whether I should tag this as "violent" or not. On the one hand, it really isn't; it's just strawberry juice after all. On the other hand maybe the evocative imagery in the first panel is transcending the actual reality of the situation. I've decided to leave it as is for the time being. If this imagery upsets you though, please let me know so I can figure out a way to deal with that in the future. Maybe I can make up a new tag or something.

kai and nya also have voice changers to sound like each other

Incredibly stupid Halloween hc but the ninja each have one gi that color codes to a different teammate (like Lloyd has a blue one and Jay has a green one, Cole has a white one and Zane has a black one, and Kai and Nya swap because Kai dressed as the water ninja is silly.) and they have those purely for Halloween purposes. They just go out dressed as each other.

This is also slightly to mess with whatever villain they’re dealing with at the time.

going by ultrakill standards lust is the most 'be yourself' layer so

I personally think Chameleon's skywing name should have been Phoenix, not Soar. He left his old life behind and lived as a skywing (and many other dragons) instead. Tui was already being on the nose with his names with Chameleon and Shapeshifter, why not add onto that and name him Phoenix?
