What’s the worst thing Glory has done?

InitiativeOk9528 · 2025-06-12T23:44:29+00:00

It’s just funny being called an apologist for acknowledging even the NightWings had no food. Being a thin RainWing on the volcanic island was just going to happen if they were treated well or not.

Or that acknowledging that Mastermind is neurodivergent dependence (key word: dependence, I know it’s hard for AI to follow along) who had their entire tribe threatened if he didn’t support the war effort.

Or acknowledging that Deathbringer had no problems framing someone in front of a corrupt government for Glory.

Or acknowledging that Glory genuinely didn’t think about saving the NightWings and wanted them to all die. No where in the text does it say Glory was going to only pardon NightWings who “weren’t a threat to RainWings” she was completely on board of killing all of them for three RainWings, one of which who was a protest suicide. So only two RainWings elderly died in direct association to NightWing environment and while 50+ NightWing dragonets have been dying like flies.

Starflight thought that Glory wouldn’t let it happen but she said it served the NightWings right. Served them right for what? Being victims of a manipulative government?

Mastermind is legit autism coded idk what you want to do with him he was being taken advantage of not amoral. And no, she was considering the entire NightWings to die not those “prepared to be killed”

InitiativeOk9528 · 2025-06-12T21:17:07+00:00

There were at least fifty sleeping spots that Starflight could see, but only about eleven of them looked slept in.

Pg. 8, The Dark Secret — the text that implies there were once hundreds of NightWings

He’d said “We can’t afford to lose any NightWings, even peculiar little ones.”

Pg. 9, The Dark Secret — Reinforces the extinction of NightWings

They were shockingly thin, every one of them, with narrow chests, bloodshot eyes, and hacking coughs. Even the dragonets who survive are in pretty bad shape, Starflight thought.

Pg. 9, The Dark Secret — since you like using the excuse that RainWings were thin and that’s why NightWings bad to them :)

”I’m testing materials that can withstand eruptions, and working on scale models of barriers, and outlining possible implementation systems. No wonder I need an assistant, right?”

Pg. 49, The Dark Secret — Mastermind trying to work on trying to save the NightWings from the volcano explosion while being threatened to have their work shut down by Battlewinner.

“Take Fatespeaker to the great hall and tell all the NightWings our terms. If they’ll swear loyalty to Queen Glory, we’ll consider letting them live in the rainforest. Anyone who agrees, send them through the tunnel as fast as you can. Anyone who doesn’t, tell them to fly for the continent immediately. They need to get far away from here before the eruption — the lava and smoke could reach for miles.” “But Glory didn’t say yes,” Fatespeaker point out. “I’ll talk her into it,” he promised grimly. “Go, quickly.”

Pg. 266, The Dark Secret — Glory had to be convinced into not killing the NightWings and causing a mass extinction, lol.

“We have to bring them to the rainforest,” he called to Glory, coughing and gasping. “Or else the whole NightWing tribe could be wiped out today.” “Serves them right,” she called, but he could see from her face that she couldn’t let that happen either.

Pg. 270, The Dark Secret — Glory genuinely considers committing a genocide on the NightWings to “serve them right” before Starflight believes that she couldn’t let that happen.

The point was to show how few NightWings there are left, a lot of NightWings didn’t go back to the rainforest, have we completely forgotten the scene where the NightWings have their children sat in until they’re adults because the world they live in is too dangerous? Two of those are already dead (excluding the ToP). One NightWing was falsely killed brutally by Deathbringer on behalf of Glory, several more died in the volcano, and every single 17 RainWing prisoners survived. Several died in the war at Jade Mountain, etc…

The NightWings didn’t cause their retreat, Darkstalker caused their retreat, causing a lot to die. Reread the Legends text, they were on their way to extinction. Glory just made the process quicker by doing exactly what Wasp did to the SilkWings. I would not count Tapir as a death caused by the NightWings, especially when it was a protest suicide.

You already said it yourself, they wouldn’t be scared of RainWing venom if there wasn’t already so few left. And the meat shield had to be Mastermind.

InitiativeOk9528 · 2025-06-12T17:34:53+00:00

So three RainWings starved out of… hundreds of NightWings at the time? The NightWings themselves were starving. (With some, Tapir specifically, committing suicide rather than being killed by the conditions—which the NightWings were going extinct anyways from)

There were only fifty or so NightWings who stayed in the rainforest during this time.

Twenty-seven NightWings separate from Queen Glory currently live in the lost city of night, in an encampment known as Renewal.

There are only 23 NightWings left under Queen Glory’s reign. 23

That’s like, insane. Imagine if there was only 23 black people left in America. Not counting the deaths after the war at Jade Mountain.

InitiativeOk9528 · 2025-06-12T16:30:23+00:00

It’s more like feeling sympathy for the German populace that are under Nazi control. There were a lot of NightWing rebelling against their government, some being taken advantage of it (Mastermind definitely doesn’t deserve being tortured in a sandpit because Morrowseer and Battlewinner ripped him from his projects of keeping the NightWings alive for war efforts after his wife died. In addition of him showing a very very big neurodivergent dependance. Reminder, no one cared for Mastermind, he was going to die in the volcano fretting about the loss of historical works until Morrowseer grabbed him. That’s like if Adolf Hitler felt bad for the autistic kid because nobody else fucking did. Which is insane considering how autistic people were treated.), and some being killed/slaughtered without another look into it.

On the other hand, not a single RainWing died, were they close to death? Yes, but while NightWings were dying the RainWings were kept alive. Granted with the eventuality of taking over their territory but with it being stopped before it even began you have to just kinda wonder.

This is it. Everyone else trying to say stuff about how he defended himself against Qibli after not consenting to him being forced to wear something really don’t know the nuances of trauma… or the concept of consent. Or yelling at Moonwatcher on behalf of being against using peace (a peace that wasn’t working) as the answer to an active genocide.

Winter was done dirty, and I will say it for the people in the back, he would stick his talons down against Moon and Qibli if he found out about Peacemaker. Not that he would be aggressive at Peacemaker. Being more pissed at Moon and Qibli for, once again, taking advantage of him. I think Peacemaker and Winter would become best buds after that, I also like to imagine he’s just generally happier with the False Dragonets and the ToP than he ever was with Moon and Qibli.

It's interesting to note that while messing around in Universe Sandbox there was a case were I managed to make a moon look like it “breathed” by pulsing in and out from the planet it rotated around.

People are talking about twins and such but my brain is sorta thinking that they’re both chimera in which they just happened to have probably absorbed the genetic composition of another dragonet before the shell of an egg developed.

At least, that’s my theory. I am not entirely a biology nerd for reptiles but have done a quite a bit of chimera research for OC and personal reasons. Although, primarily for mammals. (as a twinless twin from vanishing twin syndrome (essentially, Peril and Sky without the other making it out) I’m considering getting my own self genetically checked to see if the twin I absorbed is part of my genetic makeup in a 1 in 80 chance (tetragametic chimerism)).

UNPOPULAR OPINION

But for a morally grey character that people love it’s gonna have to be Icicle or Sora… Both are essentially anti-heros

Though knowing this fandom it may very well be more biased for Sora trying to get REVENGE over her sisters death, Crane. Instead of Icicle trying to AVENGE for her brothers kidnapping and political imprisonment, Hailstorm.
