Happy Birthday

SORVUS HEADCANONS

bro their talking phase was INSUFFERABLE. like. GENUINELY JUST PAINFUL for everyone to watch. corvus looked at soren like the sun shone out of his ass and soren looked at corvus like he was his whole world. they were the last people to realize they were dating

soren goes all out on everyone's birthdays, he adorns the entire room with confetti and lights, and plans all of them (even though he's always a little late on the surprise aspect of it), and makes sure everyone learns fun dances and songs for the person. he went over the moon for corvus, asking the people to write corvus personal cards and he even wrote one himself. HE WROTE CORVUS POETRY AND IT WAS ACTUALLY! VERY GOOD!

but who goes all out for soren? who looks after him on his birthday?

CORVUS.

while corvus was the last person opeli expected to request a hundred feet of colored paper streams and a stack of jelly tarts, she gladly helped plan the party

corvus was never known for having a good sense of humor, but with soren, this blond man laughs so hard he punctures a lung. this leaves corvus beaming for the rest of the day

soren had always helped claudia dye her hair and style it on different occasions growing up-- and as she grew older, and well, you know what happened, he had forgotten how fun it was to do someone's hair. doing corvus's hair, styling it in different ways is his favorite thing to do

CORVUS IS SO TOUCH-STARVED, SOMEONE SHOULD HOLD HIM ME THINKS

around a month after the final battle, corvus walks into soren's room to find him furiously blinking away tears, and throwing a frame underneath his bed. soren had tried to greet corvus with a joke, but his voice broke right before the punchline. corvus led soren to his bed and held him as he sobbed over the loss of those he loved

WHENEVER THEY GO ON MISSIOnS people always ask "how do those two get anything done?? how do they even get along?" it's just the matter of soren saying whatever's on his mind, and that grounding corvus enough to focus on the mission instead of his thoughts. it's a win-win, your honor.

look me in the eyes and tell me that soren isn't a flirt

now look me in the eyes and tell me that soren doesn't get flustered when someone finally flirts back

because the first time soren had dropped a playful nickname on corvus, calling him "dear" after asking him to pass the salt, corvus replied with calling him "love" and SOREN EXPLODED INTO THE REDDEST FACE

soren isn't as concise with picking up certain cues as corvus is, but it's so clear that he tries. whenever corvus gets overstimulated, soren is so smooth and casual with telling the noisy crowd, "hey! me and my buddy gotta go check on something, we'll be back, man." and then they just sit in silence for as long as corvus needs

soren's tendencies of getting ahead of himself in battle might've changed, but they never truly left.

in dangerous situations, soren throws himself into battle, not expecting any serious consequences-- but sometimes, he doesn't get so lucky. he was in a coma for days, and after he woke up, he learned that corvus had been talking to him every single day and sleeping in the hospital with him since then

SOREN FELL FIRST BUT CORVUS FELL HARDER YOUR HONOR

oh my goddd I found this on my computer! Totally forgot I drew this in 2021 for my partner after we joked about how Opeli and Lujanne should get crack shipped

[bittrlys]

Opeli is straight up trying to seize power btw. She is the true usurper of the series. Just wait.

[hitchell-mope]

Ohhhh. Okay. Yeah. I get what Ezran’s trying to do. But Opeli’s right as well.

Ezran having to defend the castle... For Me??

[tategaminu]

Opeli: she stole your key and the bow that killed King Harrow Callum: you don't have all the facts Opeli: which are? Callum: I love her

[hiccupshypotheticalleftsock]

Opeli: High Mage, we arrested the assassin behind King Harrows death. We found him wandering around the castle eating jelly tarts.

Callum: Release my father-in-law.

Opeli:

[theredhairedmonkey]

While people in the castle call Callum “High Mage” and “Prince” pretty interchangeably, there’s one moment where I think it mattered.

When Callum confronts Opeli, she initially calls him “High Mage,” as though to suggest they are co-equals in the castle. She can push back and not release Rayla because she can just debate him as though he’s just a fellow advisor to the King.

But when Callum refuses to back down, she switches to calling him “Prince,” as though ceding to his authority in this situation and letting him take control of the situation.

Which is a pretty subtle and powerful moment, because it shows that Callum is both. He’s the mage advisor to King Ezran, and he’s also a royal in his own right as well. After he spent most of Arc 1 thinking it had to be one or the other, he was able to become both.

Happy Birthday

The Dragon Prince

[sunfire-shield]

Opeli: she was hiding a weapon

Callum: yeah you know that is literally not a noteworthy observation about Rayla

[slapthekeyboard]

[amys-books27]

Rayla teaching Ezran to do silly and not-so-king-likely stuff is an absolute yes for Soren and I, and a no for Opeli
