I don't support the babyravos theory but I guess I have to exploit the meme potential

Evil babyvos returns 😼

Ohhh WAIT hold up

Some things have just occurred to me...

Bonus:

Aaron Ehasz in an interview: The state of the world, and kind of evolution and differentiation, is that magic—practical, usable, powerful magic—is drawn from the six primal sources, right? But there is this idea that there's this kind of earlier, less differentiated "power", you know, kind of magic that's deeper and more... I don't want to say what kind all of them are. But Aaravos cares about some of this stuff.

Hmmm... the use of magic people always thought was pretty akin to dark magic by the Order of the Blood Moon... but was never labeled as such. And has to do with blood and the prolonging of life... which somehow resembles a deep magic spell we know of.

This isn't even bringing up the fact that we already know Aaravos gifted humans dark magic... (and how imo it doesn’t even seem that far fetched to speculate he would gift something similar to the elves in order to further instigate the elf-human conflict...)

And that, beyond Aaravos wanting to use dark magic as a way to control humans, he could've also been using it as a way to revive deep magic and return the world to it's pre-primal origins (might have something to do with the Great Unraveling too), given how similar they appear to be in relation to each other.

But returning to the main idea: it's just so convenient that Aaravos might have had some underlying motivation to set back the heir (or really any dragon prince from that point on it seems) from taking the throne, while simultaneously Kim'dael might’ve have had the means...

Are you picking up what I'm putting down?

Really hoping no one else gets to sharing this idea first, but I've been staying up till 4 am working on a stupid speculation/theory post for the new series and I just can't finish it rn. I really need to get to bed lol. So. Just. No one post any of your current speculations for the next couple hours in case we might have the same ones. /j Would really hate it if I stayed up for nothing.

So, I've been seeing a few ship polls going around lately and because I'm like that, I decided to graph some stuff from AO3.

So, this is a breakdown of all fic tagged with some sort of ship.

OTP: false, so a fic can feature multiple ships.

Probably surprising no-one, the dominant ship is Rayllum.

I also looked into the rating breakdowns of the various fics. It's interesting to me that they all mostly follow predictable trends, except for Viravos and, to a lesser extent, Clauderry.

Viravos fandom still being kinky...

I also looked into fic that feature Rayla or Callum with other people and... yeah, once again. A lot of Rayllum.

What does all this mean?

I dunno, I just like graphs.

[luniviravosshipper]

“7%”?

…Only 7%?

Did I read that right ?

I mean, come on. Imagine the shenanigans Rayllum will have to get into if they are the ones to give birth to babyvos (if he’s even a baby). I don’t know how long they’re planning the show to be and if they’re going to write his growing process to be super rapid or super slow (which really I just mean like normal for humans lol), but there’s going to obviously be some discourse and mulling over whether or not the baby is actually theirs considering the fact it just coincidently was birthed the same day Aaravos was supposed to return.

Anyways I think it’d be great if—while Rayla and Callum are debating about whether or not this is actually their kid, and if not, if it’s at all moral to kill it—babyvos became buddy-buddy with Stella. That’s all.

Ngl, I think my only real wish for the series is that at some point Aaravos and Stella have some sort of bonding moment.

The only two Startouch creatures that we really see on screen, one of which is a jailed war criminal and the other a tiny thieving gremlin.

What would be more adorable to see than our beloved touch starved elf snuggling with a cheeky little cuddle monkey? And I mean, just imagine all the mischief they could get into with each other.

Also manifesting this if Rayllum babyvos becomes a thing. It’s been over a year now since I said I wanted this and I still want this. I need him to steal her.

This is on my personal wishlist for The Dragon King btw. Short and black/dark hair for Aaravos. He already has the dark eyes which we know the other Startouch elves don’t have, let’s please have his hair be more different too as he gets closer to reaching his goal and drifts further away from the other elves. I literally don’t care what vessel he takes on, I just really really want to see a change in character design primarily with his hair.

At least make it short hair if not dark hair. If at all possible.

something about aaravos' hair getting stained with black. aaravos' hair getting darker as claudia's gets lighter. aaravos' hair getting tips of black while callum's gets a streak of white. yin and fucking yang. god.

Oh my gosh guys Jack De Sena actually purrs in the clip and Dante Basco compliments him and calls his relationship with Rayla “cute” for it, this can’t be real

People on Tumblr: Just because they’re making it an adult show doesn’t mean it’s going to be sexually explicit/suggestive, or gorey, or anything! It’s probably just going to deal with darker themes the original show couldn’t, that’s all.

The creators at SDCC: Actually we just revealed some potential dialogue for the new series which canonizes that Callum and Rayla are into pet play, and maybe we’ll get to see more hints of that later (:

[luniviravosshipper]

I should’ve stayed up last night to share my speculations, everyone’s beaten me to the punch! But yes, this was also what I was thinking.

And as much of a crack theory it seems to be, there is some legitimacy I can find behind its potential to become canon.

Something I started thinking about recently (not because of the news, I was already thinking about this when it came to the show in general) is how the writers have talked a lot about how they want to avoid using certain biblical motifs/themes within TDP because they may come across as glorifying. So we've seen them attempt to undermine the glorification of them by depicting them in less favorable lighting, particularly with the magefam.

We've seen:

Viren be paralleled to Moses, Claudia to Joshua, and Aaravos to God in season 3 of the show

Aaravos resembling a multitude of polarizing figures in many parts of the series, like both Lucifer (which he is mainly known for paralleling) and God

Viren's character not following the traditional redemption arc which the writers have talked about deeming the whole concept of "redemption" as primarily Christian and puritanical

And I'm sure there's a whole lot more that I haven't picked up on yet.

Sooooo… it may be possible they would want to go the Virgin Mary route with Claudia and have her birth what would essentially be the Antichrist, as the obvious alternative yk to a Christ like figure, to continue undermining the glorification of those themes/motifs.

I do have... qualms with the idea though, to say the least. And I have seen some people already proposing this as less of a crack theory and something they're truly considering and hoping for, which I don't know how to feel about.

Personally, I'm just kinda hoping they won't seriously make this happen. Mostly because I feel pretty conflicted about Claudia becoming a mother figure within the show (even if thematically it's meant to be connected back to her mommy issues and have her parallel Lissa—actually that's the very reason why I kinda feel incredibly iffy about her being expected to become a mother).

Okay, hear me out

The child crying in the teaser trailer

Is Aavaros reborn But not as Rayllum's child

He is Claudia's

She used dark magic for getting herself pregnant to give birth to aaravos

I guess Jack started reading Rayllum fanfiction on AO3???

"Sometimes Rayla calls me her pet, rubs me under the chin, and I make a little purring sound."

What 😀
