Series: Part 1 of EL DOLER. Summary:
Bruce Wayne always knew letting Jason go was the right thing to do — especially when his boy seemed to carry pain on his shoulders and the past in his smile. But like any father, he asked for one small thing: a single text message every year, just to let him know he was alive. Letting Jason go had been one of the hardest things Bruce had ever done. But he was a father — and even the worst of them make sacrifices.
THIS IS WHAT I WAS TALKING ABOUT
That’s who Aiden is to me
Previously I set off the great Tumblr cascade of "Not to be a lesbian..." with Nicole the Lumberjill.
I think I may have found the sequel.

“X bodily fluid is just filtered blood!” buddy I hate to break it to you but ALL of the fluids in your body are filtered blood. Your circulatory system is how water gets around your body. It all comes out of the blood (or lymph, which is just filtered blood).
I've seen so much shit about TDP season 7 being bad and like. What??? It's actually so good. Maybe it's just bc I'm more of a casual enjoyer (still obsessed) but like I thought it was really good. It all made so much sense to me, and I felt like everyone was still in character. Like even Harrow being in the bird made sense, I thought it was a bit silly but like, isn't that the point of the show. It's still a show made for kids (even though it gets very dark) it's gonna be a little silly. And honestly I loved that it was, it aligns so much with Leola's Last Wish. (Paraphrased) All children should know they are loved even in the dark. And to me that's part of what love is, smiles and silliness even (and especially) through the dark times. And after all why shouldn't Harrow be alive? Haven't Ez and Callum deserved enough pain already? And like the dragons killing Aaravos so Ez didn't have to, and/or Callum didn't have to use dark magic makes sense. The dragons have been helping/sacrificing stuff for them this whole time. Why not kill Aaravos too. Yes Aaravos will be back in 7 years, but that's 7 years they can use to learn and grow and find a better solution. I might make a more detailed post about this later. It just makes me so sad (? Idk how to describe what I'm feeling) to know that people were disappointed with it/think it's bad. I know it's bc it's just that important to them but I wish they could enjoy the wonderful masterpiece that is the entire show and each individual season and episode in turn.
Not gonna lie, if I was Orpheus, I just wouldn't have turned arou–
Did you hear that?
Eurydice?
Eurydice, are you still there?
Sorry, I trust you're there. That noise just startled me for a second there.
...
You are there, right? Sorry. Of course you are.
This is a long tunnel. My feet hurt... Do you think we can stop for a while? I won't turn around.
I promise.
...
I'll take that as a yes.
Do you know how much longer it'll take?
I... I don't know why I keep asking you questions. I know I won't get an answer. But you can give me all your answers as soon as we're home.
I'm so tired. Let's rest. Just for an hour or so.
I love you.
I won't turn around.
...
Do you trust that I won't?
Sorry, I just realized how often I keep saying that I won't. Do I really think you don't trust me? Do I not trust myself?
How long have we been walking? It feels like days.
I just... I hope it's over soon. I keep feeling like I see the light at the end of the tunnel but it's just my imagination.
But I won't turn around... I prom-
What's that noise?
Is that you?
Are you even there?
Sorry. Again. And sorry I keep saying sorry. Am I going insane? I know you're there. Right behind me. Just one step behind.
Has it been weeks?
I think my hair's longer than it should be.
Months?
Will we ever make it out?
I trust you're there. I trust you're right behind me. I can't hear you. I can't look at you...
I won't turn around. I promise.
...
I love you.
Eurydice?
I...
I won't turn around.
I won't.
I.
...
I don't think there's an end to this.
Should we keep walking?
Should I just...
I'm sorry, I can't believe I'm even suggesting that.
I won't turn around.
Because I love you. And I trust you're there...
I love you.
I can't see you. Or feel you. Or hear you.
How can I love you...
You're hardly there. I know it doesn't feel that way to you.
But I just... I won't turn around.
... I promise?
Has it been years?
When will this be over.
Do I even love you if I can't even bring myself to look at you?
Let me see you! I can't do this. Let me hear your voice, Eurydice!
Eurydice?
I can't... I won't...
Turn around...
Turn around?
How could I be so stupid?
But this won't be over until I do.
I truly believe that.
I love you.
Even if I never see you again...
Please understand, Eurydice. I'm breaking this promise out of love.
Please understand.
I'm sorry.
I'm turning around.
You're beautiful.
This was an excuse to experiment with new brushes but also if I don't draw coziness/softness for too long I go into withdrawal
As usual version without overlay is under the cut :D
Expanding upon the idea I put in the tags of this post on my main blog.
Viren saw the monstrous part of himself in Claudia when she killed to revive him, and abandoned her because of it. Mostly I think because he saw it as a hurt he was causing and ran away. The same way he emotionally abandoned Soren as a child because seeing his son reminded him of the hurt he caused for his family. He COULD HAVE been on a path to forgiving himself. I think his attempts to reconcile with Soren and apologize (however poorly managed) were brought on by the realization of what he’d done to Claudia.
And we see him let go of the shame he was feeling (writing out the events that occurred, burning the letter when he realized he couldn’t put that burden on Soren). But he does not see himself as worthy of another chance. He views himself as a monster, and he views Claudia as a monster. That’s the part of himself he left behind for her.
He also left behind the part of himself that we saw in his dark magic fever dreams. The younger version of himself that believed there is always hope, that there is always another path forward. That people can change. We see that reflected -
(oh hey mirrors/reflections as a symbol: Leola and the sea of the cast out reflecting the night sky, the reflection of the full moon in the water of the nexus when Rayla went to rescue her parents from the coins, Ethari seeing Rayla in the reflection of the sword when she’s a ghost, the reflection of Soren in his sword when he “kills” Viren ((mmm I love these Soren Rayla parallels)) also YALL I think Claudia’s gonna die like WHYS Soren alone in his reflection!)
in Soren’s character arc.
Harrow, Runaan, and Viren were all prepared to accept death as justice for their actions. They all knew they were guilty of continuing the cycle of violence. Harrow stopped being ashamed and felt remorse for the actions he took and their effects. We can see this in his letter to Callum. He has regrets, but he believes the justice he deserves is death, not forgiveness.
Viren is finally coming to terms with his guilt and shame when he writes his letter to Soren. And he never delivers it because he sees it for what it is. But that doesn’t mean he’s fully prepared to let go (he never tries to reconcile with Claudia and I’d have to watch it again because it’s hard to tell at that point if he’d even want to. That man really just threw her to the wolves). His death is his final cycle into violence. Falling back onto the crux of dark magic - even if it’s to save people - and the dark magic literally requiring him to die. He’s running away into what’s safe and comfortable instead of overcoming that fear and trying a different solution even if it would be harder. He could have left with Soren and found an alternative (this is a narrative, he made this choice for. a. reason). His life to save Soren’s was not the only option, it was his choice.
Runaan was ready to accept death until Claudia decided he’d be better used for information. Which ends with him trapped in a coin (very similar to the way Aaravos is trapped in the prison for eternity). He had an opportunity to overcome the violence and listen to Rayla and Callum about the egg. But he chooses the cycle of violence again. And it’s what consumes him in his limbo. And then having the second chance to overcome that violence and accepting it is what saves him.
This is getting rambley and it’s getting late, but like - do you see my vision? Do you see the parallels? The themes? And so on and so forth
