Do you think that Ruthari's promise "my love will be with you even when the moon is not" potentially might tie into the lullaby Rayla sings to Esmeray, or just part of moonshadow elf culture as a theme?

I think it can be both, tbh. The moon lullaby in S6 ties into a lot of things, such as the season's here motif as a sign of love, as well as the Moon philosophies that tie into the lullaby and Ethari's statement. There's an underpinning of Moonshadow culture / philosophy that things leave but likewise always return, just as the moon moves in and out of its phases. But what do you do when the moon isn't seemingly there at all, when there is 'no light' on a moonless light? Moonshadow elves likewise have a strong emphasis on togetherness and community in their own way, so it would make sense that the Lullaby and Ethari's promise he gives to Runaan and Rayla would tie back to that idea of "My love is with you even when the moon isn't" = "The moon is more than just her light"

So I think Rayla is remembering the lullaby as a way to calm pets (Stella), a reference to Luna Tenebris ("I am the moon, the silver queen"), and something that's deeply meaningful to her precisely because of her bond with Ethari: "But I also know they never really leave us. Luna's love is with you, even when the moon is not." Just because someone - the light, the love - isn't visibly or physically there anymore doesn't mean it's gone, not if you hold onto it and your memories of love. That's not exclusive to Moonshadow culture by any means, but it does seem to apply the most to Rayla's family unit at this point in the series

Rayla's lullaby ("Hold to what you've always known / I am near, my love is here / Though my face cannot be seen / The answer in your heart is clear") also ties in Callum's one truth ceremony. With the starweaver venom and the blindfold, he can't see much of anything ("you need to look inward" / "but I don't see a light, all I see is darkness") but he still finds the answer within himself and within his heart. His truth, his answer, is clear even though he can't see Rayla's face, and even when he couldn't when she was missing: he still always loved her.

Second highlight was when Grossalicious, Creator Of Friday Night Crunchin’, followed me back on bluesky. SomeHow.

Highlight of my internet micromicromicrocelebrity career was when a mutual of mine on twt said I inspired them to selfship with FNF mod characters because they didn’t know they could do that before they saw me do it.

Glad to see my awesomeness Continues to inspire others ,even Past my Prime

Ficlet requested by @awkwardsauce

Look, I know this ain't a ficlet anymore, the words came out too fast

As Callum soared through the air, his wings cutting through the frigid wind, a sense of clarity washed over him like nothing he had ever known. The weight of the Starscraper’s trial was still heavy on his mind, but amidst the exhaustion and the chill biting at his skin, there was one undeniable certainty—he had found his ���One Deep Truth.’

Rayla.

It had always been her. Somewhere deep down, he knew. Every step he took, every decision he made since the day they met—it always circled back to her. He could feel it now, as surely as the magic pulsing through his veins. The truth that burned so brightly inside him, lighting the way through all the darkness, was her. She was the light that pulled him back.

Callum’s heart thudded in his chest as his wings beat faster. He knew he was close, and with a few graceful movements, he landed, dropping to one knee. His wings faded, and the wind howled in their absence.

As soon as his boots hit the floor, Rayla was at his side. The feel of her hand steadying him, helping him to stand, filled him with warmth that chased away the cold bite of the mountain air. His fingers moved to his blindfold, slipping it off slowly as his vision returned, and the first thing he saw was her—her eyes meeting his, filled with relief, hope, and a thousand unsaid words.

“I did it,” Callum breathed, still catching his breath. His voice was low, reverent. “I found my one truth.”
