Season 6 Predictions (Callum Is Very Eager To Use His Shiny Nova Blade)

i had to.

So uh. How about that time skip huh. (Corvus composing and performing the best track in the show was so hot of him btw if you care)

Remember when none of them had attempted to kidnap/kill each other

Good times

Did they really need to add the wilhelm scream when Viren decked K'ppar in the teaser? (yes, they did) lmao

today i offer something really short that i wrote. i have a hc that ethari wrote letters to runaan to cope with the loss and this is one of them. hope you like it!

Dear Runaan

Dear Runaan,

today is the start of the Blue Moon week. Everybody is out and about, preparing and harvesting, and the children are even more excited than usual due to the Blue Moon being in December this year. Snowball fights will be unstoppable. I haven't prepared much; barely a few arrows and throwing knives to enchant.

Ethari stopped writing to look up at the weapon-filled wall. Blades missing their swirls and handles simplified, no intricate lines decorating them in any way. He furrowed down his eyebrows.

I miss you. You'd think I would have already settled in, accepted and kept living. But it's hard, Runaan. Not many elves come to the forge anymore, and I suspect it's because they fear they will somehow remind me of you. But nobody can do that. Nobody sneaks into the forge like you do, nobody tries to hide their smile and fails, nobody tilts their head and closes their eyes while they listen to my new project (it's not like I have any). Yet, your presence is never fading away. You're somewhere that's not our kitchen table. It's a new pain and I have yet to find the right healing salve. While your wounds were easy to see and to heal, this wound, my darling, is the one you would hide from me, unless I lit a candle.

He put his quill down and with a shaky hand ruffled his hair. It was longer now, the bangs placed behind his ear and rest of his hair kept in a low ponytail or bun. He didn't know long it really was. The tears blurred his vision and he cursed.

I will go out tonight. I will go into the heart of the festival and feel something unlike the forge sparks. Don't fear; you will learn everything that happened. You always will.

I love you, Runaan. Be here when I'm back.

i was thinking about that little poem Callum was reciting in the trailer. what if it has to do with Deep magic? In the discord Q&A they said that there would an important Deep magic spell coming up in s5 and ever since then i've been thinking what kind of magic even is that and i came to this conclusion.

"Do not ask how the ocean's blue

or why the tides their time do keep,

to love is to simply to know this;

the tides are true as the ocean is deep."

I think he is reciting a peom he has found in one of the books from the library. I interpreted the poem like this: the poem is talking about how you shouldn't ask why or how something is because there is no point in searching for an answer you won't get. It's like asking why do you love someone; it's a feeling. You can list a bunch of reasons why you love someone, why you have the urge to protect them but you will never truly know what the reason is- because feelings are confusing. The third and fourth line are simply explaining how loving someone is: if you're in the shallow waters of loving someone, you'll only know and love their 'shell' which is made to protect the person's real feelings. But if you go into the deeper waters where you don't know what you will find, you are essentially embracing the person's true nature; all of their scars, all of their fears, all of them.

And how is this connected to Deep magic? Well, i think Deep magic is the type of magic a person can only understand if they've been in the deep waters. If they have been where others have not- going through things like losing a loved one, losing something important or losing themselves. If we choose Callum for this, he has been through all of that- losing a loved one (his biological father, then his mother, then his stepfather and he almost lost his brother); losing himself (when he performed a Dark magic spell in s2 and when Aaravos possessed him; literally losing the control of his own actions) and losing something important ( though only briefly, he lost Harrow's letter). Going through so much makes one have certain feelings. And that is exactly what Deep magic is. It also contrasts Dark magic in which you are ruining yourself (your feelings) for a 'greater good'. The point of Deep magic is knowing your feelings and having them, no matter if they are joy or sorrow. They are feelings. Dark magic is presented as an emotionless act, that only people who have no mercy or empathy for others (as well as themselves) can do. They are the opposites. Maybe Deep magic can reverse Dark magic, who knows.

Happy Valentine's Day!!

@clown-fession and I drew Viravos!!

That panel…😨

Aaravos the fallen elf

I’m alive!! And this took 10 hours, one of my proudest fanart so far!

Reference pic: Fallen Angel by Alexandre Cabanel. Aaravos reminds me too much of Lucifer…. Okay but I revisited this underrated fandom to see my favorite character and saw out of context things of him from season 5 and WHAT HAPPENED AFTER LEAVING WITH MEMORIES OF SEASON 3
