[photoniccyclone]

Yeah... I think this probably how it went down...

[halyasgirl]

Violence, loss, pain.

Violence, loss, pain.

More violence.

Stop! Stop.

I just want to yell stop.

[stardustamaryllis78]

After watching Dying Light for the 3rd time, I realized Aaravos' eternal night plan was actually just because he needed Avizandum for his plans to help him wipe out the Archdragons all along.

I'm so slow.

[atomic-bomn]

The more and more information we gain about Archdragons and Xadia, makes me hate them more. Whether it be the writing or just something else.

Like, why were we led to believe the complete destruction and attempted genocide of Elarion and humans was completely justified??

"Oh but dark magic" I don't give a fuck "They hunted the unicorn to extinction" I don't give a fuck. "They poached creatures" I. Don't. Give. A. Fuck.

The kicker is most people in the story, human or otherwise would agree it was justified for the single reason of dark magic bad, When in reality humans were just tired of fucking starving. Elves are just whiny bastards who want to be the top dogs and when they realized it was being challenged they got pissy, When the Dragons realized their Pride and Joy elves were pissy they took it out on the humans.

They kept the lush and fertile lands and kicked humans to the barren lands in a full effort to have them die slowly.

ie ethnic cleansing

Humans are the victims all around in the world of the dragon prince. Elves and archdragons started or kicked off most issues. Vent over I will accept no criticism.

Fuck you Sol Regem fuck you choke

[letsplaythermalnuclearwar]

personal headcanon: only the archdragon of each arcanum is capable of human speech

none of the other dragons talk. none of them. ever. in the whole 7 seasons, only the archdragons speak. and we do not know for certain that Zubeia was able to speak a human language while Avizandum was alive, she could have gained that ability after he died.

anyway that explains why Zym could suddenly speak after Zubeia died

[soloragoldsun]

So wait. Ezran hates Runaan for killing Harrow and has him imprisoned, but he shows no negative feelings toward Zubeia, the one who ordered the assassination in the first place? He talks about how everything Avizandum did was to protect Xadia, even though this is the dragon that killed Sarai? Also, do we ever hear anything else about the village Pyrrah burned to the ground? Are dragons just exempt from responsibility for their actions unless they're Sol Regem?

[raayllum]

There's something about how Avizandum, who killed Sarai, was taken down by Harrow (a king driven by loss) and Viren (a mage driven by wanting to protect / clean up the mess he felt responsible for) and then Avizandum killing Aaravos in defense of Zym in 7x09 spares Ezran (a king driven by loss) and Callum (a mage driven by wanting to protect / clean up the mess he felt responsible for) -- who most importantly are Harrow and Sarai's sons. Yeah

[baatarthefirst]

So now that we have a "winner" for the WORST DAD IN TDP award, let's find out who's the best.

[mhacentral]

The Dragon Prince - breaking the cycle of violence with The Cycle of Hope

Tiadrin and Lain convince Viren to keep the egg alive

Harrows Letter

The first moment the cycle of violence is brought up

Ezran, Callum & Rayla finding the egg

Callum using Primal Magic on his own

Zym breaking Raylas binding

Ezran breaking the chains of history

Org Post - Harrow marches towards the Katolis towers, where his war and throne rooms await him in S1. Come S3 Ezran does the opposite. Despite being in literal, physical chains at the end of his reign, Ezran broke the metaphorical chains of history when he chose to make peace with Xadia. And just in case that wasn’t enough of a gut punch, Frederick Weidmann (the show’s composer) uses the same score (Last Sunset) in both scenes to nail home the connection

Callum breaking Ethari's moon opal = breaking away Rayla from the past

Amaya and Janai saving each other

Soren Leaving his Father

The Final Battle - elves and humans fighting alongside each other

Humans and Elves coming together saved Zym

Looking back S4 and S5 really should have been one season, cause both are really introductory seasons for Arc 2 and setting things up to some very beautiful moments:

Soren offering up his heart - this act of selflessness is what inspires the next cycle breaking moment

Viren unknowingly standing up to Aaravos both physically and metaphorically

In the Magma Titan backstory Harrow refuses to listen to Sarai, Sarai kills the Magma Titan, Avizandum kills her, and then Harrow kills Avizandum

S6E5 The Moonless night breaks that cycle..... Callum instead choosing to listen and trust Rayla, leads Rayla to piercing Esmery's heart with kindness, thus allows them to get 2 quasar diamonds

Rayla telling her parents what happened so the could pass peacefully

Callum bringing back Runaan, undoing dark magic

And now Season 7.... its time to bring full circle moments around, to show how the Cycle of Violence truly is breaking

One of the most major moments is Rayla being forgiven by the Silvergrove..... which if you didn't notice, is a DIRECT parallel moment to the Council of Startouch Elves not forgiving Leola

Raylas parents saving the egg allows the trio to save Zym and bring him back him, which then in S7 allows Avizandum to break free of having Unfinished Business, thus saving Callum from dying, the step son of the man who killed him, and who is still needed to break the cycle of violence

The dragons dying to save BOTH humans and elves

Ezran forgiving Runaan....... which allows everyone to put the pieces together and realize Harrow is alive

And of course Evyrkynd
