MY LITTLE GIRL IS ALL GROWN UP

AND SHE MODELED HER ARROWS AFTER HER MOM'S NECKLACE

Held Together by Love

"We are, all of us, stardust. Held together by love..."

In the new teaser trailer for s6, TDP showcases many different forms of love as this voiceover is played. Familial, platonic, romantic (including queer).

Queen Aanya's conception has long since been speculated after the show runners stated that she was not from a surrogate, nor adopted. Of course, either of the Queens Annika or Neha could be trans, thus explaining Aanya's conception in a way that we in our average, non-fantastical world can comprehend. Or, it was simply some kind of magic spell that the Queens found access to due to their privilege and connections.

But I want to bring forward the idea that Aanya was made out of pure love. Stardust.

Love, in all forms, is beautiful, valuable, and strong enough. Maybe even strong enough to create new life from the seed of devotion. My aromantic heart.

(inspired by @beautifulterriblequeen who led me to this realization!)

Thanks so much for the Toko art!

You said you like The Dragon Prince, right? Then maybe you'd draw some Ezraanya?

Ah yes, season 4 is coming soon, so it's time to refresh some memories ~

Thank you for requesting again, @ljf613 ! <3

I’m not saying I want this to happen but I’m predicting in a later season Aanya is gonna come back and she and Ezran are gonna have a thing, maybe as a political move, maybe as a first crush situation, idk but my point is that if/when that does happen everyone’s gonna make “me and the bad bitch I pulled by being autistic” memes.

AANYA IS BACK!!!!

[numptypylon]

Screenshots from the early ‘blink and you’ll miss it show moments’, they’re so juicy!

Skywing elves at the Starscraper! They look so cool! Blindfolds mirroring Callum’s in the shot of him falling, and of what Harrow said about Justice in season 2, a reference to John Rawl’s theory of justice, the veil of ignorance

Rayla mirroring Sarai, is this another titan? A thunder titan or something? Or is Callum making the thunder?

Grown up Aanya! With magic arrows that open like her necklace, hmmm…

Ever since we learned in the Season 4 Discord Q&A that Queen Aanya has an adopted older brother named Grark, I've been wondering, what is his role in the story? Why give Aanya an older brother at all?

As adopted-older-sibling-to-the-monarch, Grark and Aanya's relationship is an obvious parallel to Callum and Ezran's. What if Grark was present and supportive to Aanya, to serve as a contrast to Callum, a similarly protective and devoted older brother, but one who is repeatedly missing in action when his younger sibling needs him:

Shout out to Soren for stepping into Callum's place to support Ezran in both of these examples; but particularly Soren's exhortation to Ezran that "You deserve time to do kid stuff."

I don't think it's a stretch to imagine that Ezran would feel resentful toward Callum for his serial absences (and the implied emotional unavailability), or that he might perceive that his brother is indifferent to his struggles and has abandoned him, leaving Ezran to shoulder the burdens of ruling alone.

I'm having fun imagining Ezran and Aanya trading gripes about their overbearing older brothers who treat them like little kids... and then Ezran sadly, painfully realizing that his brother hasn't been there for him like he should be, while Aanya's brother is.

Broyals angst is delicious, of course, but why let Callum and Ezran have all the fun? Because this is where Aanya and Grark's relationship could get extra interesting:

--Tales of Xadia, p. 34

The two phrases in particular that caught my eye: internal treason and isn't old enough

So, hear me out: Grark will be the protective older sibling who steps up, but eventually oversteps, in a misguided attempt to relieve Aanya of the responsibilty of the throne.

Oh yeah, political intrigue plus broyals angst? It would be SO GOOD.

So happy to see Aanya being recognized by the franchise again.

It’s something so personal to me.
