Man, skin isn’t fastened into one place at all, is it? You can just, like, massage on it with your fingertips and it moves around. Ear and nose cartilage isn’t fixed, either. All kinds of stuff is loose. 

and with this, I am going to bed. Goodnight, folks.

Feathered wings are an aerodynamic adaption. They have developed to guide air smoothly over the wings, from front to back. If you want a ‘realistic’ hybrid wing, you would find feathers on the front edge, just small ones to round out and smooth the shape for gliding, and continue into a membrane towards the back.

For this hypothetical wyvern, there has already been a real word possible analogue, the Yi qi. This specimen has a kind of hybrid wing, which unfortunately didn’t do well in evolution. Otherwise we might have dragons.

You could presumably have an animal that had feathers all over its body and tiny ones along the edges of the wings, like pterosaur fuzz. Feathered wings start out as feathered limbs with large feathers that can provide a tiny bit of extra hangtime on a jump, so it’d be a bit odd for a feathered animal to start growing skin-flap wings instead of large feathers, but I suppose it could happen.

I need to prove a point.

the second one is obvi the real spork

Second, i don’t know what that first abomination is

That first one is, like, a sporkife or something. Spork = spoon+fork, not spoon+fork+knife+eldritchness.
