#but not love for rayla

[mandaloriandragontrainer]

Callum’s Deep Truth: *is Rayla in the form of starlight. Literally. Rayla made out of stars. Just Rayla*

That guy: Well Actually his deep truth is his love for magic and life in general. It just so happens to take the form of Rayla, for reasons unrelated to Rayla

eternal imprisonment in a coin is suddenly looking really good

I always find it strange when people lament that Rayla and Callum don't have much in common (implying they're a bad ship) when, to me, they're one of the most realistic portrayal of friends and lovers I've seen across various genres.

They very clearly enjoy each other's company. They have a similar quirky style of gallows humour. They like teasing each other, and they bounce ideas off each other. They fiercely love and care for their friends and family.

I mean, Callum just randomly starts spouting poetry at her, and does Rayla make fun of him or make him feel weird or self-conscious? Nope. She not only knows what he's talking about, she engages with it.

I suppose on the surface they don't have much in common. Callum loves his books and research, and Rayla’s more action orientated, but once you dig deeper, the foundation of their relationship is built on mutual admiration and respect.

And that is what's important. That's what long-lasting relationships are built on.

Your partner may not have the same taste in books or activities as you, but do they still engage with you about your interests? Do they support you indulging in them or spending time doing them? Do they respect you and your differences?

That love and support is what stands the test of time.

two nickels

if I had a nickel for every time a complicated character staggered gravely injured from King Harrow's chamber

needed assistance getting out onto the balcony

dragged themselves painfully out to the end of it

dropped a scrap of fabric that revealed a blood/death motif

knelt before a powerful force that was bringing their doom

used the last of their strength to do one last attack with a magical techy artifact

collapsed among the ruins of the fate they brought on themselves

resigned themselves to their deaths

and then fell out of frame to the left

I'd have two nickels. which isn't a lot, but it's extremely cool that it's happened twice.

edit: omg tumblr do not mess with my images like this! fixed!

'I wish we could have fallen in love without having to save the world'

oh.... oh dear

I'm so not normal about this right now but this NEEDS to be said

Ethari knows

We don't know exactly how the lotuses work, but I hc that when Rayla went to save her parents and Runaan, she essentially 'died'

Ethari is watching Rayla's flower sink into the water, similar to Runaan's, and just being overwhelmed with grief. She was alive just days prior. She returned his moon bather thing? He's lost his daughter and husband. Then, through the tears, her lotus rises again, and then through the corner of his eyes, he sees something he thinks he'd never see again . Runaan's lotus slowly rises to the top. He doesn't know how it's possible, but Rayla brings her husband back from the dead.

Certifiable roller coaster of Emotions for Ethari in less than 10 minutes.

she's also just a little silly

And now, time for my favourite rayllum art I made 🥹🥹🥹 I have so many feelings 😭😭😭

[celestialowlryx]

Wait, are you still thinking about all that prophecy rubbish? We're not the Chosen Two, Callum. We made that up. Well, maybe we're not the Chosen Two, but what if we were still an important two? A useful two? A definitely at least above average two?

bonus:

The eyes, they never lie. 💓

Never change, baby girl

How beautiful is the way he hugs her closer after kissing, deepening the hug with every inch of his existence, not letting her go as if there's not enough of her to hold 🥺

Patiently waiting in my rocking chair for the day this flavour of ruthari argument returns from the war
