Male gaze this. Female gaze that. What about my wide-eyed gaze, we're singing in the car, getting lost upstate?

borders between countries aren't real btw we just made them up. there's no such thing as an "immigrant" we're all just people moving around on the same planet that we've always moved around on

Hot take Claudia has BPD

He’s gonna dad them so hard and Maddie’s gonna be so relieved she can still trust him.

Mr. Anderson giving Wally a hug too confirms, at least to me, that he’s going to love and cherish and parent all of the ghost kids so much, and I hope Mr. Martin has a jealous fit about it

Is Destiny a book you write yourself?

In S2 of The Dragon Prince we get Callum's iconic line, and in S5, a version of it appears in Viren's dark magic induced dream as well.

Both Callum and young Viren say that they get to make their own choices. Their own decisions.

But what if... they don't?

We meet again. Only this time, here I am on the other side. The path of fate is already chosen. Every step I took, I took because I had to.

This is what Viren says when he first sees the mirror in the dream sequence. Initially, I thought this was a reference to how he is now the one becoming trapped, not Aaravos. But that isn't the case.

Because he's not talking about the mirror; he's talking to the mirror. And the person on the other side. Teenage Viren, from the first time that he used Dark Magic. (I believe that this was confirmed by the writers of the show but don't quote me on that).

Years ago, as a teenager, Viren used dark magic for the first time. And he saw, in his vision, an older and corrupted version of himself. This older version of himself warned him of what was to come and told him that his fate was already decided. That every step he took, he took because he had to.

It's very similar to the conversation that Callum has with "Other Callum" in his dark magic dream. And crucially, Young Viren has a similar response to the one Callum had. He says that

No matter where you are on the path, no matter what you’ve done before, every step forward is a choice.

He rebels against this idea. He says his version of "Destiny is a book you write yourself". And yet... decades later he finds himself precisely where he was told he would end up.

Viren rebelled against the concept of Destiny, and yet, he ended up right where he was told he would.

And this raises the question; if Viren saw his future when he was a teenager, and it came true, then was it more than a vision? Was his destiny already written?

And so... is destiny actually a book you write yourself, or do you have no choice in the steps you take down the chosen path of fate?

Just food for thought going into the next season. Cheers.

They look so happy!! God why can’t they be like this in the show. I just want my beans to have PEACE
