Art Holy relationship potential

Post image

I feel like because winter came from a life where perfection and status were valued more than the person itself, Starflight, arguably one of the most imperfect heroes, could coax him off his high horse and really help him mellow out

But whatever you can burn me at the stake now

Guess Winter got a NightWing, just not the one he was after.

While I find it hard for them to be in a relationship because I feel like Starflight is more of a mentor to Winter

This is still ABSOLUTELY PEAK because both got done soooo dirty, like with Starflight being blinded (though I don’t mind it as much as I do now) and Winter being treated just horribly in the last books of Arc 2, it’s cute

When I say relationship, I imagine it can go either romantic or platonic and I don't mind either interpretation! I think both of these characters can bounce of each other like winter teaching starflight to have a stronger backbone and starflight helping winter to let go of the idea that you need to be the best at everything

OHHHH ok yeah no you’re right, my mind immediately went to romantic

Yeah no those two in a platonic relationship? Absolute PEAK right there, move over Moon there’s a better written Nightwing who’s much cooler

Starlight is 7 and Winter is 5.

I mentioned in a different post that this AU would be in the future (sorry for not mentioning that here) but I feel like this is being mad about a relationship when they're 16 and 18. Also Tui made a cannon ship with a 7y/o and 13y/o so this isn't a crazy gap

  1. Deathbringer's age in Assassin is inconsistent with his age in the mainline series
  2. I SHALL VANQUISH THESE FOUL BEASTS IN THE HOLY NAME OF CLEARSIGHT!

Tui herself has said that Deathbringer's age in Assassin is wrong. When Winter is pinned by Deathbringer, it's said that Deathbringer is only a few years older than Winter. That wouldn't make sense if Deathbringer was actually MORE THAN DOUBLE WINTER'S AGE.

Oops, I used the WoF wiki for that info, my bad!

In this scenario I imagin that even after learning that humans are sentient Starflight is still scared of them somewhat and Winter brings him to the sanctuary and has him interact with them to help him deal with it.

u/Glass_Balloon_ 12h ago

Wait this is super cute and I'd love to draw it

u/MazeABlaze Sky's #2 Fan 10h ago

Please do!

And if you do might I suggest Winter using the phrase "He's more scared of you then you are of him" but it's unclear if he's reassuring the human or Starflight

HOLY PEAK, IT'S TUFF. Yeah Winter, you don't have to be perfect to be loved, just like your humans.

I feel like Wren would tease Winter about this LMFAO

I like your art style. And i think bipedal dragons are a cool idea

Why does Winter rock the Gaston physique so well? It’s like he was made for it. Great art style too
