Things in TDP that surprised me but I'm not mad about

The title is a bit misleading because I could never be mad at The Dragon Prince but I'm specifically talking about season 6 because I think Aaron, Justin, and everyone that worked on this show infused this season with drugs because this is so fire they fucking cooked with this one.

Soucering: most of the gifs used in this post are from this post  by celestialowlryx unless stated otherwise! (I am not in the business of stealing people's shit)

SPOILERS AHEAD

The Blood on the Beach!

There was a lot of blood on that beach like the blood that you could tell was blood on that beach in the first episode, and I know this show doesn't shadow away from death but THAT'S A LOT OF FUCKING BLOOD IN THE SAND! Not to mention, CLAUDE IS COVER IN BLOOD! Plus the whole Claude amputated her own leg, and her fucking voice actor during that scene, oof my heart!

The Bathing Scene

I'm very surprised that this was allowed dispute knowing nothing about TV rating (I mean obviously it was allowed it's in the fucking show!) But that scene is silence, besides a backing track, and you have a Terry bathing Claude in the ocean! That scene is so fucking intimate, especially for what is supposed to be a children's show and it makes me go insane!

Rayla and Callum's Bed Sharing Scene

Yionked from this post by rayllurn 

I'm looking at this in part from the eyes of a parent dispute not being a parent and just being a 23-year-old fucker that watches children's cartoons they have a weird obsession with, But this is another scene I'm a little surprised was allowed. Although I love that it was allowed! I can see from the eyes of a parent this scene be too "raunchy" because "What happens when two be people share a bed... sex!" but Fuck you this scene was great!

Viren and His Wife's Backstory

Yoinked picture from this post by Kilfeur

Okay fucking attack me in the internet town square if I'm wrong, but Viren described abuse... right!? Like that was Spousal Abuse right!? Because if it wasn't it was so fucking close! And where the scene wasn't animated in the traditional sense respective to The Dragon Prince, that whole sequence is insane!

All the Kissing Scenes

Damn, there was a shit ton of PDA this season, Specially thinking about the one scene with Rayla and Callum on top of the Starscraper, THINGS ARE GETTING FUCKING INIMATE FOR KIDS SHOW! I fucking love it! I love when we can do Romance like this so no complaining here there was just a lot, or many in the scope of the series as a whole this seems like a lot, I don't know, but regardless a win for romantics everywhere!

Viren's Sacrifice*

Yoinked from this post by madou-dilou

This one is more of an honorable mention, was it surprising, fuck yeah, but it didn't surprise me in the way everything else did. I did think Soren was going to be murdered for a hot second, which was shocking but fuck this scene had been balling like a God damn baby!

Janai and Amaya's Wedding*

Another Honorable mention because it's not shocking that it happened The Dragon Prince has not strayed from representation and the longer it continues the more representation we seem to get, although queer representation is still always shocking to get especially in children's cartoons, so it's going on this list for all the creators that have wanted to give us queer rep but couldn't and to those that have paved the way for us to get here!

Allen

Couldn't find a picture of Allen lol

Okay, you may not get this if you haven't read the graphic novel Through the Moon but Allen is a minor character way back from season one that Lujanne couples up with and I was surprised to see especially because the day before the season came out. I had read the graphic novel and cackled at his presence! So I freaked the fuck out when he was just there, at the moon nexus!

Rayla and Her Parents*

I'm adding this because it was another scene that had me balling (I think mostly because I have a good relationship with my parents and I couldn't imagine losing them) Knowing Rayla's character it wasn't surprising but I respect everyone who made that scene possible because, brother, that's emotional!

Finally Leola

*sigh* Leola's existence in general is a shock, and to me changes Aaravos completely! That purple motherfucker created the Sea of the Castout with his own tears, then got imprisoned in a pearl in a calm in his daughter's bones in the same sea he made with his own tears of grief! In addition, THEY FUCKING ANIMATED CHILD DEATH! THE ANIMATORS ANIMATED A CHILD DYING ON SCREEN! I don't give a fuck if there wasn't blood, THERE WAS CHILD DEATH ON SCREEN IN A CHILDREN'S SHOW! HOW HEAVY METAL IS THAT?!

Honorable of the honorable mentions: Big Aarvaos

Fuck he's huge.

Alright, I'm done.

chapter four - journey

aaravos x moon guardian reader

+ callum x rayla

(in this scenario aaravos isn’t the antagonist because leola is still alive !! also you have to read the other chapters or this will not make sense 🥲)

(click here for masterlist and synopsis)

<< prev / next >>

—

the queen and her selected heralds headed to xadia as quickly as they could, although it proved to be a challenge since xadia no longer existed on any official maps.

“this is you-know-who’s doing!” the queen’s mages agreed in unison, “there’s no one else capable of this magic, it’s esoteric! arcane!”

“your highness if only your high advisor were still here, she’d know what to do!” exclaimed one of her council members.

the queen pondered a moment, “perhaps.”

—

“what could this mean rayla?” callum looked at his lover’s eyes with worry and despair, “we finally defeated him but-“

“woah slow down callum, there’s got to be some sort of explanation for this!” rayla turned to lujanne and pleaded with her, “there’s got to be some reason here!”

lujanne looked at her face and clasped rayla’s hands in hers, “maybe there is but i couldn’t give you an answer. although,,, maybe the startouch elves,,,”

“startouch elves?!” callum and rayla looked at each other with overwhelming desperation, “but they’re nearly impossible to find!”

lujanne thought for a moment, “i’ve heard,,, rumours. a startouch elf and his daughter live on the outskirts of xadia near the edges of the west. well of course it’s just speculation,,,”

“we’ll find them.” rayla looked at callum with worry and callum’s lips softly curved upwards, “we have to ensure that the peace stays.”

—

“your majesty, i think we’re here.”

the queen and her heralds stood in front of dead trees that curved into an arch, as they stepped through, the barren land began to produce flora and butterflies flew around them revealing a land of rich colour under the pink and purple sky.

“wow.” the queen’s heralds stared at the sight -their mouth agape, the stories told of xadia were horror stories -revealing nightmares that crept out of fairytales. but xadia seemed nothing like that at all, the trees were so green with flowers and fruits ranging from all colours of the rainbow.

“come on my dear soldiers, we must find aaravos.”

—

“how much more must we go!” soren was irritated, hungry, and tired.

“lujanne said to keep walking until we find a lopsided willow tree shaped like an arch!” rayla mentally sighed seeing how tired soren was getting, this was going to be a long trip.

“SOREN!”

rayla and soren ran to find corvus and callum being attacked by a dark, big, shadowed creature.

“my magic won’t work on it!” cried callum. “aqua dulcis!” his attempt to dispell the creature failed as it just went right through it, “nothing physical will work on it! but somehow it can attack us, i dont know how!”

rayla threw a knife at the creature and soren lunged with his sword, but no avail. the creature morphed into several different shadows and started attacking them too. they were circled like prey caught by a hunter.

“partum mysterium.”the shadow creatures disappeared.

“WHOS THERE!?” soren scanned for any enemies but found no one.

suddenly, someone dressed in a royal blue cloak appeared -their hands up as if they were surrendering.

“i come in peace. i saw you in danger and thought you might need some assistance.”

“how did you do that?” callum inquired, “my magic went straight through.”

“they are creatures of the night,” the mysterious person stepped closer slowly but it was evident she was in pain, “the only way to defeat them is through moon magic. they haven’t showed up in centuries but i’m assuming it has something to do with the deformed sky.”

callum’s eyes flickered up at that thought, “are you a startouch elf?”

“oh goodness no, if you’re talking about aaravos i’m sure his housing should be just down this-“

“oh she fainted.”

“we know soren.”

—

“thank you,” the mysterious person drank the water and ate the grubs rayla and callum had prepared for her. “i’m not that strong so any sort of magic tends to ruin my body.”

“why are you out here?” soren asked with suspicion laced in his voice, “are you responsible for this?”

“im afraid you’re mistaken, i’ve come to see if i could fix the sky but this magic is beyond me.”

“it’s beyond everyone,” callum rested his head in his hands, “this is insanity.”

“there was a prophecy.” the mysterious lady had never removed her hood and she played with it to ensure it wouldn’t fall off. “the only way to end this curse is if the two brightest beings come together.”

“the brightest beings,,” callum muttered to himself, “that must mean aaravos! we have to find him. can you show us the way?”

—

“daddy there’s someone at the door!”

“don’t open it leola, wait for me.” aaravos rushed out of his study to meet his daughter and the stranger behind their door.

“hello there how can i help y- your majesty!” aaravos bowed his head slightly while his eyes opened wide. “what are you doing all the way out here!”

“i need your help.”

I need a man like Callum, Im sorry. There, I said it.

chapter three : the prophecy

aaravos x moon guardian reader (?)

+ rayla x callum

summary: a new threat arises compromising the safety of xadia.

(important !! : this is not canonically correct and for the sake of the story i’m gonna say that it takes startouch elves 600 years to enter teenage years even tho it’s probably wrong. also look at the previous chapters otherwise this will not make sense 🥲🥲)

(click for masterlist and synopsis)

<< prev // next >>

“leola! don’t run too far!” aavaros spectated as his daughter ran off to meet her human friends, he relaxed with a solemn grin plastered on his face knowing she’d be safe with them.

he looked up and saw the same cloudy sky that had been there for months; a dark grey, murky cloud shaped like a giant ring rested in the middle of the sky. It was highly unusual for clouds to cover the sun for months on end, but then again, nothing had happened these past months so aaravos assumed it would clear up… eventually.

—

it had been 300 years since xadia was removed from the rule of the celestial guardians’, after leola introduced humans to primal magic -which the humans abused and cultivated into a stronger form (dark magic), the queen decided that for punishment of their sins they were to live in exile from the other continents.

the queen was doing her daily tasks which now was reduced to one: removing the dark clouds in the sky. but nothing would work, she’d ask her council of advisors, high mages, and scholars for aid but there was no answer to the mysterious cloud -but it did omit a dangerous feeling. one of the queen’s high mages had a prophetic vision the day the cloud appeared, but it was impossible to understand. “in the first hour of the last quarter the world will unzip and order will be scattered, the brightest beings must come together but only one star can continue to shine.”

under closer inspection, the mysterious cloud had runes that were industrious -newly created. no primal mage could decipher the secret text and the council understood what this meant: the source for the ominous cloud came from within xadia.

—

“we must bring forth a new age, a new day where elves and humans fight together instead of against.” king ezran had proposed a new plan for unity instead of division and distrust, queen janai and queen aanya endorsed his beliefs which quickly caused everyone else to follow suit, -except for the startouch elves.

the startouch elves felt ostracised and bitter towards the mortals because they were once revered as the heralds of the celestial beings but were now cast out because of leola’s decision to teach humans magic. they could never forgive her for this teachery and they sentenced leola and aaravos to a life beneath the heavens where they could live with their sin. the fact that no one else in xadia could remember this chapter in history made the startouch elves even more resentful and unwilling to help the mortals.

“king ezran! how can we live in unity if we are divided by land and sea?” cried a little elf. “king ezran how can we eliminate dark magic for good?” “king ezran!”

callum sighed at the questions hauled at his little brother and realised that he’d have to answer more questions on being a human mage that can use primal magic.

“it will be alright callum,” rayla pulled him in for a hug and whispered “we can live in harmony now, viren is defeated.”

“i guess you’re right.” callum wrapped his arms around her and rested his head on her shoulder, “i just have this feeling that our fight is not over, you know?”

they both looked up at the cloud in the sky, “it’s nothing callum, just smoke from the dragons when they helped us defeat him.”

“mmm you’re right.”

—

aaravos was getting ready for bed as he finished his work for the day, he spotted a little crack with light shining through his daughter’s door and went inside to find her staring at the sky.

“leola sweetheart, it’s 12:58 shouldn’t you be in bed?”

“daddy, when will the stars and moon come out again?” leola looked at her father worriedly, “the cloud looks like it’s getting bigger.”

“hmm, i’m not sure unicorn, i don’t think it’ll be leaving anytime soon at this rate.”

“daddy, what does the moon look like tonight?”

aaravos pulled out a thick, blue book encrusted in gold and shimmer, he flipped the page to a diagram of moon phases and took a seat on the edge of leola’s bed motioning her to come, he pointed at the seventh picture. “it should be the last quarter today.”

suddenly, the cloud dissapated and the stars were revealed, this sight lasted for a moment until the a crack began to open causing the stars to melt and manifest into an immense light.

—

the queen awoke to a bright light outside her window and realised the sky had changed, it was now a bright pink and purple with the stars quickly disappearing. she looked at the clock on her wall reading 1:00 and her eyes flitted to something of her sister’s, a moon chart.

“the first hour of the last quarter.”

—

rayla frantically shook callum awake and pointed to the sky “i think you’re feeling was right.”

—

on the outskirts of xadia someone was also watching the sky, this mysterious character was hidden behind a dark, royal blue cloak with a hood that covered her face.

she let out a breathless sigh, “only one star can continue to shine.”
