This is expanding the comment I made for this post.
I'm pretty sure I can list out every single implied straight characters and relationships in the series, and they far outway the only 2-3 Canon queer couples. Not to mention single charcaters!
All Characters I say are implied to be straight isn't to say they fully are but cause nothings been confirmed. And if it has I didn't know
1: Clay is single
2: Tsunami is implied to have a thing for Riptide who is also a seawing!
3. Glory and Murderbaskets will they won't they situation
4. Starlight and Fatespeaker are implied to get together(another same tribe relationship)
5. Thorn and Stonemover
6. Smolder is implied to he straight and was inlove with a sandwing!
7. Scarlet had a husband so is also implied to be straight. She's also single
8. Moonwatcher and Quibli
9. Moonwathers parents
10. Kinkajou has no implied interest in anyone
11. Turtle has a thing for Kinkajou if I remember
12. Turtle and Kinkajou are single
13. Clearsight and Darkstalker(same tribe mostly)
14. Clearsight and Sunstreak
15. Whiteout and Thoughtful(Same tribe mostly whiteout is a hybrid but dominant nightwing traits)
16. Indigo and Fathom
17. Fathoms sister Pearl is single for a while since we never meet her king husband.
18. Peril is implied to be straight and eventually gets over her crush on clay so she stays single
19. Winter like women
20. Foeslayer and Arctic
21: Umber is single
22: Queen Ruby is single tho it's implied she maybe had a hubby cause she has a son
And I'm sure there more but that's a long ass list. I don't know if Jambu and Pineapple are offical but I'll count them.
Same sex couples
- Jambu and Pineapple
- Anenome and Tamarin
- Sundew and Willow
So of the couples, 3 are same sex and 2 is same tribe.
There's 9 same tribe straight couples. (Note 2 have Darkstalker and Whiteout)
And there are 7 implied single charcaters (I'm sure there's more but going off the ones I listed)
And 22 straight characters.
There is literally no way to say queer ships are being pushed by the offical series or take president over straight ones. And plenty are applied to be single.
Anon is smoking something to think 3 outta 22(give or take) is to many.
I really feel like there should be more straight, same-species relationships. Now, do I love all of them (Sundew x Willow be my fav), but most are all same-gender, or opposing tribes. It would just be a fresh change of pace to see regular ones more frequently. To top that off, to even see more dragons like Sunny who dont end up having a relationship at all. Not every dragon will find someone to love, and thats fine! I just feel like sometimes Tui is pushing in the LBGTQ relationships or just everyone must have someone to love at the end of their books
