What If the Fake Dragonets Were the Dragonets of Destiny? [PART 1] [Se2Ep1]

I love that Flame is (trying to be) a leader to the other dragonets and keeping them together. Yes, they're far from the sibling team that the actual dragonets of destiny were but at least Flame is trying

[@sunburststudi0s224]

Flame is so much nicer in this!

[@charles-rl7op]

I don’t think flame of trying to hold people together I think fate speaker would be trying to hold everybody together not flame

[@ebony721]

@@charles-rl7op Fatespeaker really is the kind of dragon who would do that, I'm just afraid she wouldn't succeed cause the other dragonets hate her. The fake dragonets of destiny respect Flame (in a way, I guess) so they'd listen to him

[@dusk5568]

@@charles-rl7op Yeah, but I don't think that she'd rise up to the leading position. Also, the way I see it is that Flame is only holding the team together for the sake of leading. Like it's because of the prophesy or just because his ego won't let him not lead them.

[@bananacow-sh7fm]

I really like how Flame is much more kind than in the actual books.

[@darkstalkeris1812]

I think that making Flame love Peril instead of Clay is a nice touch. And making Viper be the one to hurt Burn is so cool.

[@darkstalkeris1812]

But now it does make me wonder if they would make Jade Mountain Academy or not. If not then there wouldn’t be an arc two. Then there wouldn’t be an arc three. So I’m kinda glad that the fake dragonets of destiny isn’t the real ones.

[@Taylor_Guy]

@@darkstalkeris1812 There would probs still be an arc 2 anyway. It just might be different.

[@darkstalkeris1812]

I guess you’re right @Taylor Guy

[@anonymousbee-zk7us]

@@darkstalkeris1812 well, there would be an arc 2 probably where Moon still hears Darkstalker, but it ends worse since she doesn't have her friends to help her. The world could be a lot different. I wonder if Darkstalker would still get out...?

[@user-qy8kk8yx4q]

you know, technically we didn't get a conformation that peril likes flame back-you'll are assuming from the way he feels and the og story. i would love it cyprus revealed she actually didn't like him back-not coz' i don't think there cute, but because it would be a very interesting reversal that way.

[@1000SubsWith0Vids]

“They got captured again anyway!” Love it, can’t wait to see the aftermath of this in the season 2 compilation

You should try a dragonets of despair it’s basically the original dragonets of destiny but they don’t get along and are the opposite of how they are in the books I saw someone write an AU about it. Sunny is manipulative Starflight has powers and thinks he’s superior to the others because of this Tsunami is rude and always picking on the others Glory disguises herself as a skywing and refuses to believe she’s a rainwing Clay is the only normal one

[@Quill5516]

Clay hmmm nahh I don’t think I’ll eat a cow today The fandom: what did you do with clay (That’s this au version clay lol )

She kinda can’t tho? That’s someone else’s au that’s already mainly written

[@timmy6890]

Glory has identity disorder?

[@laughsingay]

I love how you found ways to make certain things stay consistent- like Scarlet's face getting ruined, and Flame getting hit with a sandwing's tail barb.

[@personintoomanyfandoms]

And if i am correct- Clay got poisoned and Peril saved him with burning out the poison- so maybe peril will help Flame that way too!! :0 idek i could be wrong ^^' XD

[@cheesebiscuit920]

@@personintoomanyfandoms True, but Clay only survived because he had fireproof scales. So even if that did happen, Flame might not survive because his scales aren't fireproof.

[@personintoomanyfandoms]

@@cheesebiscuit920 thats true-

[@curiosity_theeartiist]

oooh flame would DEFINITELY fall in love with Peril-

[@Dragonhex]

Its kind of funny that Flame had a slight crush on Peril at first. I think if the prophecy seemed more real to him, he’d try to do something about it and I love that he was the glue that held the dragonets together

[@Bugbo.]

You should do an AU where, the dragnets of destiny was “perfect”. sunny wasn’t a night wing sand wing hybrid so she got her barb. Star flight was braver. Clay found the “monster” inside of him. Tsunami would probably stay the same. And no glory so that means Hvitaur delivered the egg but still got stabbed and died ( sandwich barb is deadly but he would be in the same situation like webs in book three but a lot more venom). I was thinking abt this a lot and I think this would be a fun story!

[@user-qy8kk8yx4q]

"that also would make kestrel nice i believe" i disagree: the way i see it, kestrel is just a bad, ill-tampered dragon in her nature, a horrible mother(whether adoptive or bio), casually racist towards the other tribes, and just very unplesant, no matter what would happen to her.

[@dexteradams248]

Wouldn't that destroy Clay?

[@user-qy8kk8yx4q]

@@dexteradams248 well, yeah-he wouldn't be the same big ol' worm, good natured teddy bear of a dragon who loves everyone and holds 'em together. but he wouldn't be dead, no-he would just be a different dragon.

"Well... Pyrrhia is dead" Cyprus 2023

[@Badgerfrost_Draws]

Your art is so amazing! Your such a big inspiration to me! Here’s some ideas: What If Kestrel didn’t drop Peril? What if Carnelian got out of the explosion? What if Orca killed Queen Coral? I’d love to see you do the second one. It was so sad that Carnelian died early.

[@TheMysticalSerpent]

Adding on to the first idea, what if Kestrel flew away with Sky instead

[@kyleevanzandt1723]

I like how Flame is trying to keep the group together!

[@jahooooooo]

Video Idea: What if Morrowseer survived the volcano eruption and made it back to Pyrhhia? Would he continue haunting the dragonets? Maybe team up with Scarlet and Chameleon? OMG AND WHY IS YOUR ART SO GOOD- YOU MAKE THE DRAGONS LOOK SO SQUISHY AND CUTE AND CHUNKY AND 😭😭

[@Jewels_wcue-_-]

FRFR😭😭

[@calicohusky]

This is an amazing story so far! I love that there's something between Flame and Peril- wondering how you'll work that out in Part 2. The art is beautiful and you are so inspiring.

[@sketchidragondraws]

Oh my gosh YES season twwooo!! I love this perspective!! I wouldn’t have thought of Flame being the leader, actually happy, and in love with Peril.. such a great story I love it so much!❤

[@Flowerzealous]

Hey, Cyprus!

[@wafflegang2621]

I like how kestrel and flame got along like a house on fire in this story. This is an awesome one, keep it up! Next time, you could do a what if kestrel hadn't gotten rid of sky and he and peril grew up together.

[@yourlocal_loserl7621]

Okay I know a lot of people probably already requested this and this is a very common topic but i wanna see your take on “What if Gill survived” i wanna see how your awesome storytelling would be different then others

[@frostcherry8063]

some suggestions for more episodes What ifs: (Spoilers for arc 1 and 2 (and some of the legends) -What if sunny was pure-blooded -what if one of the DoD was an animus -what would have happened if the Nightwing tribe never left the old Nightwing kingdom(or the one Clearsight/Darkstalker grew up in) -What if Tsunami and Anemone switched places? -What if kestrel "killed" peril instead of sky, and then escaped with him? -what if clay drowned while escaping -What if kestrel killed glory -What if glory and peril where swapped? (so scarlet found glory on her own as an egg in the sky kingdom, and kestrel brought her own egg, but it was still sky and peril?) -What if SUNNY had the powers of Nightwings since she's a hybrid(or maybe has animus magic?) -what if Qibli accepted Darkstalker's offer? -What if ClearSight and Darkstalker had Dragonets? -What if Darkstalker became king(weather through murder or good reasons can be up to you :] ) -What if Darkstalker used to take dragonets and fly off with them to a new Nightwing kingdom so that if his plan to attack the queen failed he could still lead? (meaning many dragonets went missing due to this, and potentially there was another Nightwing kingdom that had powers? and worshiped Darkstalker maybe? (this one was inspired by a M.A.P I saw a long time ago although I don't remember the name or who it was posted by) (And yes I know I’ve re-commented this probably more that I should-)

"It didn't matter cause tHeY gOt cAptURed AgaIn AnYWayS" 🤣

[@The___Rat]

I think it would be cool if, when Viper throws herself at Scarlet, she sacrifices herself to save the rest, and that sort of gets the “dragonets” to work together better and adds back the element of “things are wrong in this prophecy” that the original cast had. I know it’s supposed to be a deviation but I thought it sounded cool as an idea

[@warriorcats43ver17]

Oh CCCCYYYYPRUUUUUSSSSSSSSSSSS! I. Have. A. Question. And. What.If.Ideas! Can you do a view tutorial? Like, Back view, top view, bottom view? Now onto the What-If ideas! -What if Queen Glacier didn’t die? -What if Darkstalker and Whiteout switch places? Where Whiteout was evil and stuff. -What if RainWings weren’t a Peaceful tribe? -What if Queen Oasis didn’t die? -What if the NightWings didn’t have to leave their old-old home? -What if the SandWing War never happened? -What if Cyprus was a canon WoF Character/POV? -What if Tamarin wasn’t blind, but Anemone was? -What if The Tree wars never happened? -What if the LeafWings won the Tree Wars? Hold on. I have to take a breathe *pant* -What if the ToP never happened? -What if Sky and Peril switched places? -What if the SeaWing Heirs survived? (The dead ones) And last but not least… -What if Dragons were more Human like? Like, they stood up on 2 legs, had phones and stuff. They’d still have wings and cool colors. I’ve always had this What-If

"Talons and tails, she was... (activate dreamy voice) GORGEOUS" - then an ad comes up.

[@AudreyArnett-si3ss]

This video actually inspired me to try drawing a NightWing for the first time! And it look pretty good so far!

[@eclipsemoon01]

Video idea: What if the panatalian tribes where apart of pyrrhia during the SandWing Succession? What if Darkstalker became King and was never defeated? ( Both in his time and Arc 2) What if Queen Monarch never gave up the throne to Wasp? What if Cricket got one (or more) of the HiveWing powers? What if Blue was never a Flamesilk? What if Queen Glacier survived the plague? And final idea: What if Secretkeeper never hid Moon in the rainforest but instead the NightWing Island? Also love the video and the artwork!

[@artisticbirdies]

You should do what if clay was the monster kestrel wanted him to be! Or what if glory never became queen? Other suggestion ideas: What if the dragonets of destinys personalities were swapped? What if luna wasnt blown away in the storm? What if luna wasnt a flamesilk? What if blaze got bitten by the dragonbite viper instead? (Or what if blister did, like her plan to kill burn went wrong) What if thorn never became queen? What if i just shushed now?!

[@artisticbirdies]

Imma get to watching the video now lol

[@artisticbirdies]

And by the way when i say what if the dragonets of destiny swapped personalities, i mean like sunny is mean, manipulative, basically complete opposite, and then tsunami would probably be kind(er) scaredy, etc. But ye you get what i mean. I saw another comment earlier suggesting this too :)

[@laciedickson3989]

You should do what if Fathom drank out of the goblet!

[@psychopathic_pineapple9562]

This is actually really interesting, I love how its unique but still consistent to the original storyline but Im sorry Flame and Perils interaction will never not be funny

[@-TheArtKid-]

Love the series ❤ Ideas: What if darkstalker made clearsight immortal to? What if the guardians killed glory like they said they would? What if peril had given quibble the animus scroll? What if sundew hadn’t freed cricket, blue, and swordtail?
