Has anyone else noticed just how professional Cyprus has become? Video quality has never been better!❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@Wings0fFire]

true!

[@Euchloe_Lotta]

So true! She literally is the best KZbinr ever!

[@HistoireDeTornade]

True ❤

[@cyprusdraegon]

Awwww you're such a sweetie! Thank you :)) I've really been focusing lately on trying to make high quality videos! I'm glad it's noticeable :)

[@tfr534jr]

Treu

[@pyronuke4768]

Hailstom and Winter's relationship was really nice and wholesome in the strict social confines of the Icewing pallace, and I really wish it got explored more.

[@MothCat]

Cool fact, pyrite is fools gold, it LOOKS like gold but it's actually something else. Just a really cool detail that makes wings of fire such a great series.

[@AndromedaWirtjes]

Omg yessssss pirite is so interresting

[@klhfelt]

*forshadowing!?*😁😱

[@ChunkyCherryEats]

oh i forgot about that!

[@GundamKType]

Hillstorm always struck me as a loyal kind soul. Who in canon was broken by what he went through but returned to his ways. He also seemed a bit like a jokester who was stubborn but had a sense of responsibility.

[@Potatofalcon101]

General ideas for arc three what ifs: What if Blue/Luna wasn’t a flamesilk? What if Sundew was a SapWing and grew up in the palace (possibly kidnapped as egg????)? What if Hawthorn actually figured out WHAT THE BREATH OF EVIL DID BEFORE GIVING WASP A SANDWICH OF IT? What if the newer tribes stayed in Phyrria (random head cannon )? What if Jerboa 1 didn’t enchant Jerboa 3? What if SnowFall WASN’T PARANOID???

[@Wings0fFire]

oml that would change so much I would be interested to see that!

[@Wings0fFire]

true.

[@smokescreen100]

I perfer paranoid Snowfall. Need that A+ character development

[@ReliaRainIsAwsome]

Ironically i have been writing my own au about blue not being a flame silk it basically go that blue works hard to be a good silk wing and after like 10 years gets to move to jewl hive to be closer to luna and meets criket, after seeing she not part of the hive mind and a forbiden love they kill wasp and become the new rulers super simple but still cute

[@-_Nifi_-]

I was working on a what if sundew and Willow swapped places but I got bored and decided to work on the scorching/history of dragonkind instead so it’d be nice for somebody else to do it so I don’t have to 😅

[@wolfrosefrost5475]

I imagine Hailstorm would make a focused effort to find Winter, having an effect on Icicle who would be left under the scrutiny of their parents. Leading to Hailstorm being the one to work for Scarlet to kill the Dragonets of Destiny in a desperate attempt to get Winter back after years of failure. This would have a notable effect of Icicle working with the Jade Winglet to stop him. Basically, Icicle would take Winter’s place as part of the Jade Winglet team, Winter would take Hailstorm’s place as Pyrite, and Hailstorm would take Icicle’s place as the one working under Scarlet to get their lost brother back.

[@ReliaRainIsAwsome]

Winters character development gets overshadowed so much the moment his book is over, but i still love him SO MUCH, i really hope he gets some love in the new books

[@Wings0fFire]

true.

[@ReliaRainIsAwsome]

(Side note amazing story love iiiiiittttt!!!!!)

[@smokescreen100]

Winter's character development go 📈📉📈

[@ReliaRainIsAwsome]

@smokescreen100 it totally does, good development in book 7 IMIDITLY STARTS FIGHTS in book 8 Regains sense of humor from book 6 in book 10 and gets a "hey sorry for being shity to you look your happy now" apprince in book 14

[@pyronuke4768]

My biggest gripe with Arc 2 is how mismanaged all the protagonists were. Qibli was handled pretty good because Tui absolutely fawns over him; Moon was OK even if she got a little generic in later books; Kinkajou spends half the arc in a coma; Peril just kinda shows up to do her POV and peaces out; and finally Turtle and Winter are set up with really strong potential only to get forgotten by the finale. Compare to Arc 1 (and to a slightly lesser extent Arc 3) where the protagonists actually feel like a group, where no one member is more important than the others.

[@Euchloe_Lotta]

2 videos in one day?! This is a blessing!!! I think this is a genius what if. While winter may not be my favorite character, I can still appreciate a wonderful what if :)

[@R0sewonks]

Hey blu!

[@Euchloe_Lotta]

@@R0sewonks hey!!!

[@R0sewonks]

This is a good video right?

[@Euchloe_Lotta]

[@R0sewonks]

Me to!

[@KayCeeOkorougo]

This made me realise that not just Winter's parents, not just IceWing parents, but majority of parents throughout the series pretty much suck, like they care about their own happiness and needs rather than those of their dragonets, whom their either abandon, neglect or emotionally abuse. However, another is the amazing bond and love a character's siblings have for each other

[@Logi_432]

this video got to me, ( Hailstorm is now one of my favorite charters )it always interesting to see someone dig deeper in to icewing and give them more personality then a cut off tribe in the snowy wasteland in the north . have a blessed week too

[@AndromedaWirtjes]

Yaaa icewings are under rated

[@Viridian_Hues]

I almost cried when you described their hug. That is so sweet

[@Destiny-finders-cave]

Absolutely fantastic what if here are some ideas i have for another: What If Sunny was more Nightwing than Sandwing? What if Starflight grew up on the nightwing island? What If Clearsight didn't trap Darkstalker? What If Scarlet and Ruby/Tourmaline swapped places? What If Thorn was Qibli's biological mother? What If Starflight DIDN'T become blind?

[@youwerebiggerthanthewholesky]

A few ideas for What Ifs (may contain spoilers): What if… Fathom was allowed to marry Indigo? Albatross never went insane? Darkstalker didn’t revive? Turtle gave Qibli animus magic? Peril wasn’t a firescales? Icicle was the one to find Hailstorm? Crystal became the new IceWing queen? Mink became the new IceWing queen? Darkstalker’s plague killed all the IceWings? Queen Monarch didn’t step down to Queen Wasp? The LeafWings won the Tree Wars? Clearsight never found Pantala? Anemone went insane? Orca won her battle with Queen Coral? Quickstrike never died? Jerboa didn’t enchant Boa? Clay and Reed switched places? Tsunami and Anemone switched places? Glory and Jambu switched places? Starflight and Fierceteeth switched places? Sunny and Qibli switched places? Crane didn’t die? Arctic wasn’t kidnapped? Queen Scarlet beat Queen Ruby in battle? Tourmaline never became Queen Ruby? The tribes were ruled by kings and not queens?

[@klhfelt]

I love all of those ideas! Especially the What if Tsunami and Anenome switched places!

[@fl3m1g0zX3]

i know winters mind would be all freaked up if this really happened but GOD DAMMIT THIS IS SO WHOLESOME ITS BETTER THIS WAY also *"mr scary icewing boogeyman"* got me DEAD

[@HistoireDeTornade]

Can't we just all appreciate the hard work of this amazing KZbinr?

[@1mtry1ng_myb3zt]

I enjoy their art, but not the creator.

[@marcaniusaugustus]

this low-key made me emotional and want to read Winter Turning again. it's my favourite book in arc 2 and never fails to make me shed a few tears. this what-if made me even more emotional and it was super fun to watch

[@AndromedaWirtjes]

Ya but I wisssshhhhhh they would have also made a kinkajou book😊

[@CheetahLvr72]

This is one of your best What Ifs. I love how you really focused on Hailstorm's emotions and his arch or realization that the Ice Kingdom wasn't what it seemed.

[@sockszilla12]

I’m so glad you made this video, winter is one of my favorite characters! I’ve always wondered what would have happened, and thanks to u, it’s been answered!

[@Tailyn-b3z]

What if idea Super dragonets basically if sunny looked more like a hybrid and had mind reading, foresight, and animus magic. Starflight had the nightwing powers. Tsunami had animus magic. Clay stayed the same. And instead of glory there is a skywing with firescales.

[@XxcharstarzxX-li4gv]

Cyprus has been my wings of fire art inspiration for a few years. It makes me happy to see her art progression :)

[@Omega_WoIf]

I love this What if! Winter is one of my favorite characters. and I wish hailstorm got more development in the books that what we got.

Wow! I love how you pieced the story line together, and even wrapped it up. You do such amazing work, and you deserve more credit. Your art is amazing and have a great rest of your weekend! ❤❤❤❤❤

[@dragonlight9385]

I know I recommended this and I'm sure many as well. But I was not ready for *this*. The frosty boiiiisss! I'm not sure what would happen next but I'm sure Hailstorm and Winter wouldn't return to the ice kingdom; the only exception being for Icicle's trial.

[@littletigress2520]

I love this! This is almost exactly how I would've imagined this situation! The art is georious! The video quality is amazing!

[@Yearbooksfan]

YESSSSSSSSSS OMG I LOVE THIS I dont know if others suggested this, but i knew i did. Hailstorm is my favorite character, i love his loyalty, his lore, and his relationship to winter. This is such an amazing story! I could never express how amazing the writing and drawing is!

[@hims00]

The storytelling is just 👌

[@anonymous_draconic_eccentric]

This is such an amazing concept. You did a truly wonderful job at it. This work of your art is also a true masterpiece.

[@cyprusdraegon]

Thank you! I had tons of fun with this one, I love the Icewings atm.

[@Whiteout.0]

Could you do "what if Luna didn't end up making it to Pyrirria?" Or "What if Luna didn't go into the abyss?" I've seen little stories about ark 3, and i'd love to see one. All of your stories are so amazing. I couldn't even think of how to make these such detailed storielines. They are so fun to watch and listen to. Infact. You are my favorite youtuber, i think that i kind of developed a style similar to yours, which is kind of cool, i guess. I would really appreciate it if you would do my request ♡.

[@smokescreen100]

Before watching: I think all of Winters family would just go "meh" Edit: Yup. I hate Winter's family

[@incamaquis1]

This was so well made! I now have crush on Hailstorm.

[@WingsofFire_Glory_Moonwatcher]

Thank you! I’ve been suggesting this for your last few what ifs and I’m glad you finally did it. I really enjoyed it.

What If Ideas: - What if Moon grew up on the NightWing Island (volcano)? - What if Moon wasn't born under the two moons (no powers)?

[@SheriffGorilla-bv1cy]

Ideas for what if: What if Darkstalker didn’t turn evil? What if Clearsight never left Pyriha

[@Dragon-yz1qi]

Wow that was a great idea! As much as I like Winter Turning and the books with Winter in them I feel like they would’ve been just as good or better if Winter and Hailstorm’s roles were reversed. Awesome What If as always Cyprus!

[@Syn4t4_K0k0i]

The book would be "saving winter" instead of "winter turning"

[@ChaosinApril]

Cyprus i just want to say ty for all the work, time, and effort you pit into your videos. Youve helped and encouraged me and i can now draw dragons, all thanks to you. Keep up the great work!!

[@Love_possums]

If you want another what if that I think would be really good is: What if Clay was killed by Fjord/Peril, or Tsunami was killed by Gill?

[@Love_possums]

It is ok if you do not like it, just a suggestion :)

[@boi248]

This might be a strange comment, but your voice and stories are very calming. I was feeling nauseated, but listening and watching this video helped me feel a bit better.

[@BelleBelle89]

I love your videos sooooo much!!! And I have some What If ideas if you ever read this. Don’t feel like you need to though: What if Clearsight never put Darkstalker to sleep? What if Tsunami were animus? What if Turtle gave Qibli animus magic? What if Scarlet never captured the dragonets? Just some random ideas, but you probably already have enough 😅

[@nanwin2004]

What if Sky and Peril grew up together?

[@Magici._L]

I'm glad your still doing this series! I will always love your content, Good luck on your yt journey!

[@GiaFlowers-gx1hr]

I have some to request, What if… Darkstalker and Kinkajo switched places. What if… Turtle was evil instead of Albatross? What if… Deathbringer killed Glory instead of loving her? What if… Blaze died from the attack from DeathBringer? What if… Stonemover turned evil instead of his magic coming back on him? What if… Tsunami Died? What if… Scarlet had stayed alive, and killed Glory and Ruby? What if… Qubli hated Winter? What if… Burn won the war? What if… Blaze won the war? And the worst of all… What if Blister won? And… What if Darkstalker Took all the nightwings? Hope one of these are in a video! I took a lot of time thinking!

[@ellorats1437]

What if ideas What if Anemone defeated Turtle on the beach What if Qibli accepted Darkstalker’s animus offer What if Turtle never decided to hide from Darkstalker What if Moon didn’t have any powers What if one of the 3 sisters won the war (burn, blister and/or blaze)

[@booklover--1208]

Some what ifs for arc 2: What if Winter liked Kinkajou? What if Moon couldn't read minds? What if Qibli was an animus but never tried to activate his power? What if Turtle went evil because of the animus fight? What if Kinkajou's spell (the one on Darkstalker) didn't work? What if Kinkajou used venom on Chameleon before he attacked her? What if Turtle made Darkstalker explode internally when he erupted from the mountain? What if Winter fulfilled his promise to Icicle and killed Glory? Sorry, I kinda went crazy over there, but there could have been so many things that turned out differently!

hi. could you mention me in one of your videos? I got the idea of my KZbin channel from you but I haven't posted anything yet. I have a "What If" already wrote out. Its, "What if the skywing egg survived?" Thx for making all the great videos! (Btw, if you want, you can tell me what app you use. I'd like to try it) :) ty!

[@catjana9813]

here's some ideas for what ifs: what if Queen Monarch and Queen Sequoia switched roles(like what if the SilkWings were the ones to hide in the Poison Jungle and the LeafWings were the ones to make their own Chrysalis probably named after something to do with poison), what if Queen Scarlet turned Gill into another dragon like Hailstorm was turned into Pyrite(because Gill is arguably more royal being king and I'm sure that Queen Scarlet already knew Chameleon by that point and Gill's only dead because of a plot hole), what if Peril and Sky were hybrids(like Chameleon wrote the spell to turn him into Soar wrong), what if Chameleon read more of Darkstalker's scroll or Scarlet never discovered him, what if Swordtail was relevant, what if Boa was able to cast animus spells normally, what if Luna was never blown to Pyrrhia, what if the LeafWings managed to mind control Queen Wasp, what if the LeafWings were actually extinct, what if Sundew was a SapWing or Willow was a PoisonWing(or both, and turn it into a what if Sundew and Willow swapped roles), what if Whiteout wasn't neurodivergent, what if Fierceteeth was the Wings of Night(like what if she managed to convince Morrowseer to let her do that), what if Burn never attacked Dune and therefore Six-Claws might have stayed with her, what if I stop? okay, I need to stop that joke soon. :)
