you said you wanted asks about your au, a since im. lowkey interested in both tma and dragons. well. can you perhaps disclose information about it

Callum is a Dark dragon who takes the form of a young child (callum is still a child, but he's 13 while his child form is 9). This is so adults try to help him, and then he turns into his real form to spook and maybe kill them.

His real form can be seen even when he is a child, appearing as a large shadow (depicted here)

They needed blood for the spell to bring Runaan back, and neither of these idiots would let the other be the one to cut themself, so… they did it together. While making out, because they don’t waste any opportunity to make out this season.

Then much later, Callum reads some more ocean romance literature and finds out they accidentally got Tidebound-married.

i love it when characters are unfair, actually. i love it when they’re uncouth and cranky and hypocritical, i love it when they have cognitive dissonances, i love it when they make good and bad choices for the wrong reasons. i love when they’re short to anger and hard to understand. i love it when they’ve destroyed themselves for nothing but can’t even see either part of it yet. i love it when they’re messy and selfish and bad at communicating. i love it when they get convinced of their own ego and stuck in a feedback loop regarding their own warped paranoia. i love it when characters actively make their lives unknowingly harder for themselves. i love it when characters don’t know they’re in a story. i love it when characters are like real people

Okay, so this isn’t really related to the larger parts of the season, but-

Can I just say I absolutely love how they introduced Callum’s dad?

Like, there are so many theories about him, that he was an elf, that he was a warrior who died, that he just up and left them, but in actuality? He was a poet. He was a poet with a sickness from birth and he died from that when Callum was young. He was kind and Sarai loved him. Harrow even respected him and I genuinely love that.

It also makes more sense that it would’ve been harder for Callum to connect with Harrow in the face of that. His dad wasn’t some warrior who died before he knew him, he wasn’t some elf that he never knew, or some deadbeat who left his mom. He was a kind heart poet who was born with a sickness that couldn’t be cured.

That’s extraordinarily tragic, but I love it.

TDP fandom after season 6 ⭐️

[harrumphingtons]

something about how callum’s father had a breathing related/respiratory disease. something about how callum’s first arcanum was the sky arcanum, how his most signature spell is the breathing spell (aspiro). something about how soren had a wheezing/coughing/respiratory disease as a child. something about how soren had possibly the same issues as callum’s father and how Soren is like a brother figure to callum. something about how viren turned to dark magic to save soren. something about how the only two times callum used dark magic it was to save his loved ones. something about the parallels between callum and viren, the two high mages.

Im sure its been said before but I absolutely love love love how well The Dragon Prince did depicting how siblings can have the same parents but still grow up with very different versions of them.

To Claudia her dad was gentle, loving, and devoted. He taught her everything he knew, guiding his daughter lovingly through the lessons he had learned through life.

To Soren his dad was cold, angry, and dismissive. He ignored him every chance he got, making it known he was disappointed in his son for ‘failing’ to take after him.

To Claudia her mom is someone she doesn’t ever want to see again, someone who abandoned her.

To Soren his mom is someone he misses dearly, someone he wants to reconnect with after everything.

Then stepping away from their family

To Ezran his dad was affectionate, funny, and playful. Everyday he knew his dad loved him unconditionally, cause he tossed aside court manners to play with him.

To Callum his dad was a little awkward, stiff, but kind. He was never really sure how much of family he actually was, or if he could call Harrow his father at all.

Repainted my old Rayllum piece, it’s one of my most favorite moments in the show 😍

[tategaminu]

I love how this is the exact moment Rayla makes her decision.

She touches her bracelet and just knows.

Just as she belongs with Callum and has to come back to him‚ Runaan belongs with Ethari and her parents should stay together even if that means letting both them go.

It's such an small detail but it speaks volumes.

[numptypylon]

Second first kiss for rayllum month 2024. I feel like the ball is in Callum’s court to initiate it, so I wanted to convey that moment of intense feelings, fires raging around them, Rayla caught off guard but so ready to melt into it…
