    This is so horrifying, actually, all the tribes kept in a coma to never wake up from, Clay, Tsunami, Glory and starflight all stuck and unable to be themselves or feel anything other than happiness, and Sunny being the one to cause it all.
    Its so terrifying, but i like it. Now THIS is what an 'evil au' should be like.

    What a perfect demonstration of just how scary an animus who doesn't know about having powers can be - just casually rewriting Clay's emotions and intentions like that without even meaning to do it, genuinely just trying to help!
    Edit: oh god, what a horrifyingly plausible horror story. Nicely done!

    Gosh, imagine this horrifying paradise being suddenly disrupted, the fleeing dragons of Pantala flying overseas only to find a comatose continent. Or even just Luna, swept away in her silk parachute, coming to land on a home not unlike her own. Where dragons are being controlled to be happy instead of sad, like Luna always tried to be.
    Or the scavengers of Phyrria, suddenly becoming the dominant species on the continent after all the dragons mysteriously disappeared.
    Darkstalker lying under Agate mountain where his dreams of an impossible future suddenly became a joyful present.
    Kinkajou, Orchid, and every Rainwing trapped in the Nightwing kingdom suddenly free from the endless torment, even as they’re once again stripped of their home and agency.
    Queen Glacier having happier dreams about Nightwings rather than the scary ones that her crown was enchanted to give her.
    Blister dropping on the spot after collecting the two Dragonbite vipers to give to her sister, the snakes feasting on her in her sleep.
    Foeslayer being left confused as the Icewings suddenly collapsed during the diamond trial, feeling herself follow suit even though they had yet to stab her.
    Thousands of dragons falling mid-flight, plummeting to the ground; their last dreams happy before they reached the bottom.
    Auklet doomed to never hatch, as there was nobody left to protect her.
    Fatespeaker believing her dream is of the future she so desperately wanted, feeling that it’s _finally_ coming true; being foretold to her after so many nights of waiting.
    Stonemover being free from his self-inflicted imprisonment, finding that despite everything he believed, he’s okay with being free, and flying to see Thorn again.
    Moonwatcher falling asleep in the forest waiting for her mother, dreaming that she was finally here to stay.
    Pyrite having a warped mishmash of a dream of two realities. One filled with ice and snow, but still feeling warm on the inside.
    Chameleon’s scales suddenly changing colour as he dreamed, being forced to sleep and fully activate his scales.
    Wren left begging for Sky to wake up after getting some supplies from Undauntable, coming back to find him asleep with a snail perched happily on his nose. Her amusement turning to fear when he didn’t wake up the following morning.
    The dragons of Phyrria slowly succumbing to hunger and thirst. Their bodies becoming stiff and immobile as they’re left to the elements.
    Flower being left terrified and alone in the Sandwing Kingdom after Smolder suddenly wouldn’t wake up anymore; left to wonder about the strange structure that seemed to appear in the Sandwing kingdom overnight, and the tawny-gold dragonet who watched the last survivors with empty eyes from the throne.
    It’s such a horrifying dystopia with room for so much. The consequences left when the world is unknowingly subjected to living under an abused child’s perception of happiness. Incredible job on this one

    Man little does Sunny know she just made every Dragon on Pyhrria go extinct since the dragons are asleep that means they wouldn’t be able to eat so they’ll just slowly starve or get killed by “Scavengers”. However it does fulfill the whole “Everyone Happy” thing. It’d be cool to see this from another POV a lone dragon who didn’t get enchanted or how the Scavengers just slowly re-took over the Continent.

    God damn I did not expect that, Sunny being an animus herself would have made sense (or even a dragonet of hers in future being one). But what a sad ending and for such a large spell it would make sunny snap at least not go insane but rather become delusional in this fantasy she created and it just pains to even imagine as her friends age and everywhere else across Pyrrhia (unsure if it’ll extend to Pantala) she’d be effectively killing off an entire population regardless of tribe.
    Unless the effects of this spell would keep them young and alive, comparison being the Miasma from The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, where in the quest “Waking Nightmare” the Miasma (a gas) put those who it affected asleep, perfectly preserved and still alive even if put in a stasis. But who knows.
    It would be interesting for one of the DoD members to accidentally exit paradise and just suddenly realise the reality of what happened or even Pantalan dragons arriving and finding out it’s a land of sleeping individuals. Which maybe can be woken up. Who knows, it would have set up an interesting arc and story. For Sunny despite being one of the most benevolent being a effectively a villain out of something so selfish.
    Maybe it’s just the tism making this bigger but in general this is such an interesting plot, what if and general story scenario. 10/10 Cypress.

    I’ve only watched this What If series off and on, but this is definitely my favorite story. It’s so screwed up and I love it, and much less edgy than some of the many, many ways the Dragonets of Destiny could fall apart. It makes perfect sense for Sunny’s personality that her desire for everyone to just *stop fighting* would corrupt her to the point of putting the entire world into the Matrix. I wonder what the scavengers would think, seeing buzzing places like the SkyWing kingdom just fall into total silence and dragons mostly disappear from the sky. Would they rise in power again? Discover the slumbering dragons and kill them all? Just make sure Sunny doesn’t discover them and put a spell on them, too 🥴

    Wow that one was really good.
    Here are some more ideas
    1. What if Blue or Luna wasn’t a flamesilk
    2.what if FateSpeaker had powers
    3. What if animus magic returned to the icewings
    4. What is DarkStalker and WhiteOut switched roles
    5. What if the rain wings were not pacifists

    omg i loved this one! keep up the great work!
    Also here are some suggestions:
    what if kestrel managed to get away with peril?
    What if the talons of peace were actually nice to the DoD?
    What if instead of a rainwing egg, webs brought back an icewing egg?
    What if peril & sky hatched on the brightest night?
    What if the nightwings were never stopped in their plan to takeover the rainforest?

    • @Deer_In_Headlights

      If Webs brought back an Icewing, Morrowseer would most likely kill it due to the past events containing tension between Icewings and Nightwings.

  • @frostcherry8063
    @frostcherry8063 Рік тому +3

    very good video! personally i would have done it a little differently, but i like the idea of sunny basically playing god :D
    also 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 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-)
    (also now this has got me thinking of an au where sunny is an animus and just like- as her soul becomes more and more corrupt she slowly becomes queen of all tribes, maybe Darkstalker could wake up and see this and become her ally? only for her to kill him in the end using his own love against him? who knows ;)
    edit: What if sunny gave in to the urges of the Eye of Onyx and made herself queen?

    Very interesting! it takes the idea of how just pople when corrupt, become controling instead of evil.
    I have a few ideas for What ifs:
    What if Pantala had animus dragons instead of Pyrrhia
    What if Orca Won
    What if Darkstalker made Clearsight immortal
    What if Fathom didn't stop Albatross
    What if the Othermind found its way to Pyrrhia
    What if the Rainwings weren't lazy
    I hope you use at least one of these! :-)

    Wow this was so well put together and in my mind Sunny practically, BECAME A DICTATOR. Yep thats how i saw her become. As she practically dictated the lives of her friends by using her magic to make them happy all the time and then she puts everyone to sleep and so technically she - I'll be onest I surprisingly love this word, Dictated there lives in there dreams. So yeah this was definitely a very scary version of Sunny.

    Outstanding writing here in this episode!

  • @Eldest29
    @Eldest29 Рік тому +1

    If you think about it, Sunny just doomed the race of Nightwings, the DoD most likely reached the Sandwing Kingdom way quicker than the events of book 2-4. In this context by the time Sunny puts all Pryyhia’s dragons to sleep the Nightwings are still stuck on their volcanic island, meaning the Nightwings will be real close to extinction after the eruption. The only survivors probably being Moon, Starflight, maybe Secretkeeper (if she goes to check
    on Moon before the eruption), Stonemover, and maybe even Deathbringer under the right circumstances.

    A perfect utopia in one's eyes is a dystopia in another's.
    Darkstalker would've been proud, except for the fact that he counts as a dragon in Phyria, so his sleep is extended from 2,000 years to forever. Wonder what Sunny (Who would probably curse herself and the other DoD with immortality) would think when while they're getting huge, Jade Mountain starts to crack and crumble, revealing Darkstalker. Would she wake him and invite him to her "utopia?" (Which I think Darkstalker would agree to describe it as a Utopia, maybe making a few changes with his own magic) Or would she just let him sleep in peace?

    When you think about it, sunny truly has the power to be just like darkstalker, but the cards didn't land right, and so she wasn't!

    How did arctic die?
    Darkstalker and winter, anemone, peril, dod, and the most of jade mountain and the nightwings!
    plus the ice wing plague, of course animus dragons can enchant other dragons! I agree with cyprus on this.

    Okay but think about the deaths this caused, what if ice wings or mud wings were swimming or if dragons were flying. Would they just drop from mid air crashing to the ground or drown in the sea?? What about unborn dragonets would they ever hatch? Did sunny specifically say that they wouldn't die in this eternal sleep, like a dark stalker situation or would the dragon race as a whole die out, and that begs the question about scavengers. That with dragons permanently asleep basically dead they would easily rule the continent.? This AU just brings so many questions.

    This AU is really interesting! And I’d like to add on to it.
    Moonwatcher opened her eyes. All around her, the sounds of the rainforest echoed. Instead of the distant dragon sounds she always heard, was complete silence. As she stood, her legs wobbled with an unusual tired feeling.
    Countless dreams, which she thought were reality, suddenly flooded back into her memories. But how had she had so many dreams in one night? And remembered them? Then she recounted the night she had stayed up and could not fall back asleep. Her mother had left her again, and the little dragonet felt so lonely sleep was leagues away. Then, as if an answer to her wish, she felt tired? All the tumult going through her suddenly stopped?
    A large crashing sound brought her back to reality. Moonwatcher tensed as a large shadow hurtled her way. She tried to rush into the cover of the bushes, but a body slammed into her before she could.
    Her eyes opened once more to see a curious face staring down at her. It was a dusty-tan SandWing with a scar along his nose and an earring glimmering in one ear. His thoughts came into hers like a tidal wave. Memories rushed around her, but she could distinguish one thought in particular: Oh good! Another awake dragon. Maybe she can help me.
    This new dragon who Moon eventually came to know as Qibli told her all about the supposed Dragonet of Destiny, Sunny’s, curse upon all of Pyrrhia of eternal blissful sleep, and how he and she somehow had broken the curse, on themselves at least. He didn’t say how he came to know this, but insisted it didn’t matter.
    “We have a destiny. A very important one, at that, to break Sunny’s curse and free Pyrrhia at last.”
    Feel free to add on to it or share opinions!

    What if Peril had never overcome the spell in the necklace
    What if Ruby lost the challenge for the throne(Maybe a follow-up for the previouse one)
    what if Darkstalker had not eaten the strawberry?
    What if Jade mountain had fallen?
