OH MY GOSH TYSM 😭 WINTER IS SUCH A MISUNDERSTOOD CHARACTER AND THE WAY THE FANDOM PORTRAYS HIM IS SO SHALLOW.

@amazingdragonboy1202

Icewing main characters always seem to get done dirty

@amazingdragonboy1202

I wonder if Winter asked Sky to teach him how to speak scavenger.

@queendashoftheicons4103

This is probably a controversial take, but with Winters behavior about Nightwings comes from generations of BS told to him ( same can be applied to Snowfall), Moonwatcher is the reason he changed his bias, and I believe if he was handled better, more people would see how much of a likable dork he is. ( and I wholeheartedly believe WinterWatcher would have worked if he was written correctly) so yeah JUSTICE FOR WINTER

@ianmack5203

Am I the only one you thinks Winter joining the Icewings in the battle was a good decision like I don,t see how defending your tribe ( which includes dragons like Lynx) form a genocidal sorcerer is a bad decision. It’s not like he was going to stay with them after the battle.

@saphiriathebluedragonknight375

Winter's angry outburst about Darkstalker in DoD is probably what saved Qibli.

@pyronuke4768

Was Winter's character assassinated or regressed? Well, no, I don't really think so; but I can't say that Tui didn't fumble it either. His epilouge in Darkness of Dragons comes off as the author trying to have her cake and eat it. (Kinkajou is being an author's mouthpiece in this scene, and if you pay attention to the phrases being used she's effectively guilt-tripping him into accepting all the blame for his relationship with the winglet falling apart.) Plus, fixing his development off-screen between books is rather cheap writing.

@n.b.eskerata1678

I'm a little annoyed that Kinkajou didn't tell Winter who Peacemaker used to be. What was she afraid of? That Winter would kill the child of Hope/Foeslayer, a dragon that he rescued from an eternity of infinite stabbing deaths? Sheesh!

@amazingdragonboy1202

I have no clue as to how winter thought he could defeat peril.

@weroniieevee160

I think Winter is a good character. He tries he's best but sometimes... Well, more offten then sometimes - it's not going as good as he want.

@Команданте

Я всегда буду Холода любить☺

@wolfrosefrost5475

Honestly, couldn’t agree more on the fact that Qibli and Moon were not good friends to Winter near the end of Darkness of Dragons, especially with how they treated him with the Vase, helping his Icewing family, and keeping the truth of Darkstalker’s fate from him. The fact that they can call themselves Winter’s friend after that, let alone family, is honestly shocking.

Winter is a very beautiful character and that fact really doesn't get around enough. The fandom as well as a few sections in the book (as you pointed out) really piss me off. He's not a violent dragon, he acts cold to protect himself. Anger is normal and yet his friends act like it's horrible if he gets mad over anything. Sad, really. There are still wonderful sections of him and his friends, at least. I am so so so greatful for you making this video to get word out! He's been a very fond character to me for YEARS, staying in the top of my favorite character list in all of the fandoms I love. He has so many layers to him and i'm so happy you dove into them. Thankyou for this video!

@MahsaKaerra

If I were Winter I wouldn't go back to the Jade Mountain Academy either. You already mention the bad memories it would invoke for him, the place where his sister tried to commit murder, where his dad died. But also it is where the dragons he thought were his friends, having already treated him as a villain just for being upset about genocide, made the decision to teleport him off to the place where he had been sentenced to death once already.

@theriveracis5172

I always wondered if Winter's story with Foeslayer would've changed, should we have gotten a Kinkajou book.

@00loneX

I think another often overlooked problem with how Tui wrote Winter after book 7 was the way he acted in many of the smaller scenes. When hes with the group, he often speaks the least, and when he does speak, he's almost always just kinda mean or angry for no real reason. Even though we see him warm up to others in book 7, because he never really continues that trend after the book in the smaller scenes, it feels like he just lost his development.

@General_Belu

Winter has to be my favorite character in this series. Well said! 👏

@lillyofgrace5002

Winter is a character you just got to love even though he comes out cold he is really a nice and sweet dragon I mean look at his passion for scavengers.
