- a short colored animatic/animation for my favorite hot-headed dragon Winter! and how his heart was melting for an interest, only to be frozen again, fallen into a third wheel
i know it's the middle of hot june and i wanted to finish it when Winter's graphic novel came out on december hehe. a lot of the interactions are inaccurate, they're only there to fit the song and vibe. but i really enjoyed making this lil' fun piece before moving on to bigger things and out of Wings of Fire as a whole. stay tuned for more projects!
characters in order of appearance:
- Winter
- Tundra
- Icicle & Snowfall
- Narwhal
- Sunny & Bandit
- Starflight
- Clay
- Moonwatcher
- Qibli
- Kinkajou
- Hailstorm

Winter walks the fine line between a character with a tragic backstory to motivate his actions & a character that only exists so that the universe has something to shit on like an overfed pigeon
The part with qibli singing was animated phenomenally
the song is his', after all
@@LicomingaDosen’t Winter end up with Lynx or was it Snowfox?
winter actually doesn't end up with anybody,and snowfox was in darkstalkers era, meaning shes dead lol XD common mistake though, when i first read it i shipped winter and lynx SO MUCH.
@@jcj268snow fox is lesb with snowflake btw, possibly lynx
@@BlessedLushOasis LYNX X WINTER FOR LIFE (I am one of the most desperate winter fans ever HE NEEDS LOVE)
Anyone else notice the detail at 0:43 where the cloud in between Moon and Winter is a heart which symbolizes Winter's love for Moon? And how Qibli getting between them and blocking the heart cloud is basically him separating her from Winter? Clever little detail.
1:03 the heart is broken.
When I first saw the thumbnail I thought: "Oh no its one of those animations making fun of winter." But this is..LITERALLY THE BEST
Why just why I wish there was a better option for this😢
And on top of that, his "buddies" never told him the truth about what happened to Darkstalker. With friends like these...
What good would that have done? Winter doesn’t have to know, and if he did then he just might end up having a dilemma of whether or not he should strangle a baby. Telling Winter would just cause bad unnecessary problems. His buddies don’t owe him that secret.
@@FeistyFlicker314 It is true that Winter is impulsive and pretty much feeble-minded, but I still don't find it somewhat justifiable about how his friends still didn't tell him that. I agree with you that it would probably make things worse, but again it isn't right to keep secrets, especially when it's about Darkstalker who almost wiped out Winter's tribe.
@@FeistyFlicker314 Fair point.
@@FeistyFlicker314i think the reason they didnt tell him is because they knew he would be against and upset that they used magic to turn a dragon into somebody else. since he has trauma from when he was pyrite for a minute.
I think he would make an exception for darkstalker though.
@FeistyFlicker314 I kind of doubt that Winter will kill Peacemaker considering that he hesitated to kill a polar bear because it had cubs. He would definitely be upset and be against the transformation but I don't find it likely that he would kill Peacemaker (especially since, as far as we know, he's never killed anyone).
And even if it is for the best that Winter never knows the truth, the reasons for the Jade Winglet not telling him feels wrong because they don't trust him and yet the jade winglet (and the narrative) still considers him their "friend" and demands that he trusts them.
In addition, considering the fact that Darkstalker attempted to wipe out Winter's tribe and magically forced Winter to like him, I do feel that he is owed the truth so that he would be given proper closure relating to his trauma with Darkstalker.
Dang, this is so well put together!! My poor, frozen guy
Hi, nice to see you supporting amal creators!
Oh hi!
“I want to hate you, but I can’t”
- Winter to Moon
Good grief am I glad I subscribed. This is perfection. Ma ol’ heart breaks for Winter. He deserves happiness. Moon wouldn’t have made him happy in the long run but man do I wish he got treated better. Poor baby. What a phenomenal animation.
Yeah but in the comic book it reveals that moon and winter can and still are canon because winter has heart thumps everytime he touches her, everyone needs to be mature enough to know that boys and girls can be SUPER close “romantic” BEST FRIENDS and nothing more, qibli is stated from the author that he will be canon with a female sandwing unlike no one else which means it could and has to be sunny so even tho they seem like a cute couple together with moon, it’s not canon
@@Olive_Soda wat where does Tui say that?
@@BlueW0F In a interview
@@Olive_Soda sry but which one? (Specifically)
@@BlueW0F I don’t know specifically but I researched and she was talking about the moon rising and the 2nd arc of wings of fire
Omg I just saw the ending quote X'D
Ok, unpopular opinion, but....I don't think Winters' character development was forgotten
Yes, he still yells at his friends once in a while, but the difference is that now he has VERY justifiable reasons for doing so
In Book 8 when he yells at Turtle for keeping his magic secret: The idea that someone COULD help their Queen & Kingdom & doesn't is inconceivable to an IceWing
Later in Book 8 when he yells at Moon for saying they should free Darkstalker: Not only is that a perfectly reasonable response to hearing someone want to summon an ancient evil, but he was %100 right
Anytime when he was under Darkstalkers' spell: Doesn't count, he wasn't himself
The big blow up when he hears Moon genuinely likes Darkstalker that the Book, Characters & Fanbase see as the worst thing he ever did: How would you react if someone try to defend a guy who just tried to kill off your entire species? Oh, & again HE WAS %100 IN THE RIGHT!
It seems to me that it's less of a case of forgetful writing & more a case of the books blowing his blow ups out of proportion
Yeah I don’t think his character development was forgotten either. He just didn’t develop into the dragon Zuko like everyone expected he would. He went as far as realizing that he was happier with the dragons from other tribes he met and he was in his kingdom, but not so far as to treat those dragons with equal respect. He still had that aura going of him thinking he was better than the others and shouldn’t have to apologize for how he treated them before and that they should welcome him back with open arms. Even though he turned out to be right about Darkstalker being evil, he only had ancient stories to go off of instead of real evidence to suggest so. He was more focused on keeping Darkstalker trapped in the mountain because he thought Darkstalker deserved to suffer than he was because he thought Darkstalker was dangerous. Winter was in a “right for the wrong reasons” kind of position on that one. He also yelled in rage at Moon for trusting Darkstalker before he actually said anything about how Darkstalker brainwashed everyone and tried to wipe out his tribe, which he knew that Moon didn’t know about. He definitely didn’t lose his character development, but the books didn’t blow him out of proportion either.
@@FeistyFlicker314
At bear minimum, what Moon DID know is that Darkstalker manipulated his mind, literally brainwashing him to liking him, which was definitely, absolutely, 100% a horrible thing to do and frankly proved unequivocally that Moon and Qibli are not his friends, irrespective of their claims otherwise; Something only further compounded by their treatment of him throughout.
Another item worth mentioning here, incidentally, is that Qibli did in fact know, and still ran defense for Darkstalker with the only possible rationale I can think of being to look good in front of Moon... Which needless to say really suggests some horrible things about him, even outside of his treatment of Winter in that moment.
Honestly, the big tragedy to me is that at the end of all of that, Winter still considers them friends and blame himself...
He traded one emotionally abusive family for another.
Damn thats alot of paragraphs how long did it take ot type like this is a full on documentary thats at minimum 2 minutes long
@@Admrial-Veshkov-Yuri
Depends on your word per minute, but, yeah, two minutes doesn't sound unreasonable.
My personal WPM is roughly 100. Used to be much faster before I injured my hand.
So, assuming around that, 2 minutes to type out 200 words.

Third wheeling is hard 😔
Great animation btw 😸👌🏼
I had subtitles on, and when winter did an angry face, it went ">:("
That's adorable 😭
This beautifully animated music video expresses how Winter was pressured by his strict tribe, and responded by acting rude to it, eventually discovering his love for a Nightwing ,to realize his Sandwing clawmate was a dragon that treated her better.
In every scenario, Winter is shown as an irritated dragon, indicating that he always managed to find a way to be negative and pessimistic.
At the end, where the trio is at Possibility, and where the animation shows Winter escalating to the Ice Kingdom with his brother, Hailstorm, it shows Hailstorm distressed, indicating the whole Pyrite dilemma.
The somewhat wholehearted quote from Winter was a delicious cherry on top!
Aaah! I can’t stop watching this it’s so good! It also majorly changes my view of Winter. I thought he was just a dude who had a bad childhood and hate for nightwings so he took that out on Moon. But now I realize it’s more so Quibli is almost the bad guy in his eyes. Nonetheless the art and animation is amazing ❤ you’ve earned a new sub!
WOOAH! I love this so much ❤
Winter is my favourite character too!))
The expressions and scenes add so much to the piece-
I’m so sorry for him :C
I love the story boarding in this so much! The way you’ve portrayed every character in a way that doesn’t villainize any one of them is so interesting. Towards the beginning it seemed like Qibli would be portrayed as a girl-stealer, but you showed how it wasn’t the case and how it was merely the result of time spent happily together. And you didn’t make it seem like Winter was at fault, just aloof and lonely. Then Moon was being friendly and ended up matching with someone other than Winter. It’s so easy to see nothing but the extremes of, “It was only bad writing that led to Winterwatcher not being canon,” and “Winter was a toxic jerk to Moon.” At the end of the day, these are just kids finding out who they are and who they want to be with, and you showed that without bias, despite one character being the center of the animatic. That takes skill, and clearly you have a lot!
THIS 👆
THIS IS AMAZING but with captions its even better
This hit harder than arctic with a six back
Woahhhhh awesome animation! Not only is it SMOOTH ASF, those expressions are 🤌
simultaneously comedic and serious
very good.
also this is like the 5th time I’ve rewatched this.
those captions lol
*winks at you straightly*
glad you cleared that up
This is one of my all time favorite animatics ive seen from the Wof fandom great work
It’s so beautiful, I love how recognisable the scenes are and how you show scenes I haven’t seen anyone else draw!
Edit after I finished watching it: The last line is definitely what winter would’ve added to that quote 😭
1:18 I like that how even though hailstorm is trying to get himself back to normal and sorting himself out, he still tries to help his little bro
*winks at you straightly* MAN IM DYIN
NO words to express how much i love this. the expressions were adorable and the movements were spot on
THE SPIN HFTYHVTTD
i love this sm
I can’t stop watching this!
This is why I love winterwatcher
the lil scavenger escaped ❤
awhhh i feel so bad for Winter. It's so sad that the only dragons he can't associate bad stuff with in the ice kingdom is lynx and hailstorm. Im really glad he and crystal found their own little happy endings in sanctuary, far from the ice kingdom.
The thumbnail is so good XD
Ok why is this kinda so sad??? Winter just was trying to do what all icewings should for his parents and now he just wants to be with moon 😭😭😭
This somehow made me feel bad for winter
This is the best winter map I’ve ever seen it’s so smooth keep up the good work 👊🏻
PMV. But I agree, it's lovely!
I know that it's pretty new, but I like winter and lynx tbh. Feel free to disagree. Also great video! Loved the animation
I somehow became a Lynxter shipper against all odds lol
Haha yeah, hope lynxter is Canon eventually but we'll see in the next books, which I'm pretty sure are confirmed. Don't know for sure tho
poor winter, great animation
I know like wtf
the thumbnail made me click instantly
all hail snow dragon winter
I love your videos, your style is so unique and good-looking!
THIS ANIMATIC IS STUBNING!?!?!??!?!??! the pacing, movements, and body language is so charming i adore it
Just wait till humanity from another earth comes in then it's going to be war of the worlds dragons vs 100 feet tall war Machines
Masterpiece❤
I watched this way too many times. Super good expressions for Winter!
I was on the brink of tears until I saw the end then I laughed myself to death
I come back to this video once every few days
Sorry Winter, it wasn’t meant to be. You’ll find your true love.
I feel so bad for him T^T
I love winter watcher4ever
this is made so good!!! i love it and it should have more views
please help with sharing it!
This kinda hurts. Poor Winter.
1:05 SUBTITLES LOLLLLL
Teehee I’m watching this on repeat it’s so good
Incredible love your work.
I love the ship moonbli but my man winter needs his heart to be open and qiunterwatcher is the mega ship! I love quinter and winterwatcher.
This is why I ship Winterwatcher 😭🙏
There is more to him than meets the eye
Ah, Winter. A forgotten character by Tui and his friends. But no wonder in the end only Winter would not be the hypocrite "the end justifies the means." his friends said and did. Only he wouldn't want Darkstalker to be turned into another dragon so Tui got rid of him so there would be no "problem".
Ik ngl im a qibli hater,,, like to me he seemed like he had no flaws besides his troubling childhood and that was just kinda icky and I don't get why everyone likes him. I've never been one to ship any of these 3 characters really but I'd be a winterwatcher shipper personally bc I just kinda hate qibli lol.
But also this animation is really awesome !!! I love the movement and expressions and poses gah 🩵
I love this!!!!!!!! The thumbnail was so funny!🤍🤍🤍
Amazing!
This looks SO good!!!!!
Qibli being the third wheel 😅
Love it ❤❤❤
Rip winter
Ohohoh, what a poor winter🥺
*”winks at you straightly”*

*”:(“*
arc 3 winter could have actually been so good with moon, arc 2 winter wouldn’t have been a good thing but arc 3 winter could have some redemption 😔
SMOOCH
noice i love it
Literally me when I’m playing it and no one is chasing me
england expectations
Nice!!
Honestly, he didn’t deserve anyone at the time for how he would treat Moon while Qibli would give moon a chance after she revealed her secret. but just maybe he just is meant to be with someone else, just not now. It’s sad how he got left out of when Darkstalker was being tricked and from what I remember, he doesn’t know what happened to Dark stalker. Adding onto his parents hating him, he still deserves better but I wouldn’t excuse him from his actions or how he acted to everyone, he’s changing and that’s good for him as a his own being. For now he just needs to take time to grow.
I really think that Winter shouldv’e for Moon because he is pretty lonley and no one in his family likes him. But Qibli was there to take Moon. So poor Winter…
I love this but I still ship winter and qibli
Poor winter
The relationship wouldn’t make moon happy/winter and it prob would end up in a bad way ( BUT I STILL WOULD LOVE TO SEE THEM TGT BUT QIBLI AND MOON R CUTE 2 )
Why is hailstorm banging his head on the tree making me sad?…..
I love this because it is Moonbli lol❤
I wanted Moon to be with Winter 😭
I feel bad for Winter but I feel like he and Moon would've never worked out . . .
(I'M SO SORRY IF I OFFENDED ANY WINTERWATCHERS!)
But after it’s better if he doesn’t ends with moon because if he does it would have change entirely the story
Winter with moon is a bit sad but he wasn't nice to her. Even if someone has gotten better it is not good to lash out at those you love.
But he did it for the right reason
@@tanishkagaur3221 moon didn’t send an ice wing plague but he still yelled at her even after his arc.
No but it’s just like SUNNY AND STARFLIGHT . U SEE THEM UR LIKE THERE IS ROMANTIC SCENES BUT NO IT GOTTA BE SOMEONE ELSE 😭…. Tbh for me like how could winter not be upset that moon is friend with darkstalker like here is my opinion : Darkstalker killed many wings of ice and the queen ( THE AUNT OF WINTER ) , his father and he tried killing and manipulating everyone like what do u think ? How wouldn’t he be upset ? Bet the reaction of qibli if his pookie wookie best queen would die of darkstalker, he would have been upset too . On top of that , his "best buddies/besties " never told him what happened ( the truth ) about darkstalker . It just shows how much they don’t trust him that much. Like with friends like these how wouldn’t u be sad . ( Qibli knew his " buddy " like moon too but he still flirts w her infront of him like what kind of "bestie" are you 💀)
Not gonna lie wof ships are hard to follow
Ur speaking my language
