The Dragon Prince
is SO GOOD. I finished it today feeling so happy and inspired. Everything about it is amazing- the characters, the writing, the humor, & refreshing diversity that’s handled respectfully and organically. Here’s to another fandom I’ve gladly buried myself in 👍👍
How far can a person bend before they break and how long can the broken be wielded before they turn double edged?
This season was so devastatingly beautiful, but ironically, the metaphorical crown wouldn't be heavy if the gemstones didn't dig into the head of the wearer.
Sometimes, the line between mercy and cruelty can be thin.
The reason WHY Claudia resonates so deeply with Aaravos' story is because it's a mirror that she finds herself in. She IS the daughter in the story but not the one who pays the price. No, that was paid by her father... her father, who was brave enough to do what Aaravos couldn't. What's heartbreaking is that she doesn't even realize what she's discarding is the same thing Viren chose to embrace in death; his humanity.
The loss portrayed was so unsettling...
To even the loss we felt as the audience, seeing what made Viren who he was... his own son, to seeing what he made himself and the loss of what could've been and how his death proved the one thing we didn't want him to show... him having a human heart. And that's what this show did magnificently... it made this audience root for people against our will.
From the unfinished story of the lovers forever frozen in time to the mournful ballad rayla sang to console the stormbringer.
The only thing left to see is how these weapons charecters are to be utilized.
How callum will embrace his darkness and if Rayla will be able to kill him if need be. Or if promises will not be the only things to be broken next time.
I have been called. Well.. (also no ships included!!)

This wasn’t supposed to get any notes
I’ve made a terrible discovery
Remember in the Dragon Prince episode when Rayla was pretending to be human.
She joked about how humans have shorter life expectancies. And then realized
Elves have longer life spans than humans
Rayla is going to outlive Callum and Ezran and she’ll watch them die while she has to live on without them…
i just realised
back in season 1 when Runaan is doing the assassins binding rayla says “moon reflects sun as death reflects life” and in s7 ep 9 ezran says “they've given us a great gift, a chance to keep living” because the archdragons died. Like wtf did people already know this and im just really stupid?
Every Rayllum kiss ever!

Day 3: fave character
My absolute favourite character has GOT to be Rayla💜💜. I love her character development like for example when Callum does dark magic in s2 vs s6 (and maybe season 7) it really shows how shes changed from the people around her, next her character design UGH both her arc one and arc two designs need a moment of appreciation
👏👏👏❤️🔥❤️🔥, she honestly looks stunning, and finally just her as a character is a whole new reason to live just THANK YOU TO THE CREATORS ❤️🔥❤️🔥💜💕
So it's just Callum, Rayla and Zym now?
For some reason the image that comes directly to my mind is Callum and Rayla in bodyguard outfits with cool sunglasses and Zym very swaggy in the middle.
They walk through town, the people make a path for them and then:
Callum trips.
Wierd Things my brain came up with 1
human!Rayla: "No homo, - HOMO SAPIENS AYYYYY!!" *Finger guns*
True Beauty (minor tdp S2 spoilers)
Can we please appreciate how beautiful all the characters in the Dragon Prince are? Beverly you seen, not only how beautiful they are designed but also the gestures and voices and ugh. Why is everything in this show so beautiful. The women are strong and wonderful. Sarai has exactly the taste of dry Humor that I like and the whole scene where Sarai and Harrow fight and the guards exchange money? SO BEAUTIFUL! Don't even get me started on Amaya and the Sunfire elves. The fighting scenes are so fluid and exciting! Gren is always the optimist and looks quite handsome with a beard if I might say that. I love love LOVE Rayla to death with her sarkasm and basically everything she does. Ezran is so cute especially with Zym ("little doggo dragon"-quote my brother) and Callums inner struggle and how Sarai helped him was so enchanting (is that how the word is used or should I say absorbing?) Claudia is still my girl and I hope Soren gets better soon because we can't live without oblivious boy. Corvus is GREAT, like, how he doesn't even care that Rayla is an elf and just wants to serve his new king, it's so... Ugh I'm so overwhelmed and excited and Help. Also, don't even get me started on Aaravos, he's just so handsome and I don't really care if he's supposed to be the villian because have you heard his voice??? I freaked out when they talked about the two queens because LGBTQ+ representation!!!! And its so well done too. Everything this show does is so great and if it is creating handsome characters, representation of all sorts, may it be lgbt, different people of colour or awesome folks with disabilities, I just want everyone in this fandom to stay as positive and wonderful as we can be and appreciate not only this show but each other and the people around us. (This post doesn't nearly capture everything that's great about the Dragon Prince and I apologize for any spelling errors.)
Very true
TDP fandom after season 6 ⭐️
Yall every just zone out and remember the fact that Rayla and Callum will be traveling through Xadia TOGETHER ALONE LIKE DO YOU REALIZE HOW THE IDEA ALONE HAS SO MUCH SHIP FUEL
And now, fellow Raylums, we feast 🥂🥂🥂
WHY WOULD YOU HURT ME THIS WAY?!!!!
Random Coin Theories
Tiadrin was coined first, and the last thing she remembers is the horrified look on Lain’s face. ^^^ Lain thinking that Tiadrin’s dead until Rayla addresses her in season 5
Viren didn’t take the coins out of the bag once until he showed them to Runaan. Lain and Tiadrin’s first glimpse of the world in months was of their best friend chained up. They weren’t aware the other was there.
When Claudia shows Rayla the coins in Umber Tor, they all recognize her immediately, but they’re reluctant to believe their identification is correct. Tiadrin and Lain think that she’s about to get coined. When Rayla talks to the coins, they answer even though they know she can’t hear them. They always tell her they love her, they’re proud to her, and to be safe. Sometimes they add one of those quiet but desperate please’s after they’re back in the bag.
Whenever Rayla has them in the bag, all three are going into full parental worry mode, despite their best efforts. They all have a grasp on the idea that, if Rayla is talking to them, things are quiet (at least for her). That means that any time she doesn’t, things could be going horribly wrong, and she could be in terrible danger.
^^^ The sigh of relief they all breathe when they hear her voice again. And the desperation and fear as she puts them back in the bag. Everyone experiencing extreme parental guilt that, not only are they helpless to keep her safe and/or comfort her, they’re relying on her to save them, something that no child should ever have to deal with. Being aware enough to tell that it’s Rayla, but not being able to see where she is or what’s going on.
Runaan’s the only one who knows they’re in coins and inside a bag. They heard Rayla tell Callum about the coins and admitting how much it hurt her. Everyone forgot they can’t communicate with the outside world and tried to comfort her the best they knew how, before remembering a few seconds later and begging whoever was with her to make her feel better.
Everyone debating with themselves about whether it’s actually Rayla they’re seeing, some sort of trick of the spell, or they’ve just finally gone insane.
The first time they can actually see the other coins. The immense relief that the others are really okay.
Rayla doesn’t know it, but every time she talks to the coins, she’s pulling her family out of whatever nightmares usually take place and giving them a much-needed reprieve.
Tiadrin and Lain’s frustration with the fact that they spent 7 years at the Storm Spire, and the day they’re supposed to get to go back home, they get coined. And now their daughter is right there in front of them, and they can’t talk with her, can’t hug her, can’t make sure she’s okay, can’t comfort her even though she clearly needs it.
Okay, I wanna speak out what's been bothering me.
Why do so many people hate Rayla's Scottish accent? Like holy fuck, they just can't take a fucking break with actual good fucking characters and always want to find fucking flaws of them. STFU. Rayla's accent is literally voiced by a Scottish person, what the hell do you guys want?! Rayla's personality is GREAT, her appearance is GREAT. Hell, her role and mere existence is GREAT. And yet y'all are getting all riled up for her fucking accent. You're telling me that you can't get through atleast one episode of The Dragon Prince because an accent is bothering your fucking comfort bubble? STAY IN THAT GODDAMN BUBBLE, DON'T WRITE A WHOLE DAMN ESSAY ON WHY THE FUCK YOU THINK RAYLA'S SCOTTISH ACCENT IS BAD AND BOTHERING YOU. Just watch the damn show. "I'm bothered by Rayla's accent" my ass.
