TBH I thought "why did he have to say it like that" anytime Aaravos said or did anything. I also didn't want to do lineart so please don't mind the messy sketch

Viren vs. Callum

Viren is reaching out like he's reaching for help. There's desperation in his eyes and, even though it's not shown in this gif, he actually sheds a tear as he's turned to stone. As we saw this season (season 4), he doesn't want to do this anymore.

Callum, on the other hand, never takes his eyes off the cube. Unlike Viren who's reaching for help, Callum is reaching for the key. It looks like he doesn't even care that he's being turned to stone. To Callum, the key is more interesting than anything else. It has his undivided attention.

Just something I noticed...

Just thinking but if Sir Sparklepuff was meant to be sacrificed all along, did Aaravos plan to have Viren die, at least once, from the start?

Do not ask how the ocean's blue,

Or why the tides their time do keep...

To love is simply to know this:

The tides are true,

As the ocean is deep.

Soren: Dinosaurs aren't extinct. I mean, dad is walking in this room.  Claudia: *wheeze*

finally started tdp s4 and the immensely weird vibes in Viren and Claudia’s Cave of Horrors™ had me in way more hysterics than i think was intended

[alollinglaughingcat]

i fucking love Terry and i will fistfight anyone who looks at him mean

I swear I’m always the anti-toxic ship preacher but viravos just… does stuff to me???

Like ohhhhh my god they’re so toxic. They’re so bad for each other. They are evil and are harming each other. They are stabbing each other in the back and Viren is probably a victim of non consensual mpreg. But holyyyyyyy shit the head must be WILD I tell ya

He's my father."

Ok so here’s three known Quasar diamonds right? Here’s my theories on where they are.

1. The key of Aaravos. I mean it makes sense right? there has to be something in there making the arcanum symbols glow. (also it being a KEY to aaravos prison so it must have some sort of star magic)

2. Virens Staff. The purple gem on it? yeah. plus its a gift from Aaravos himself, so giving a rare diamond to the humans plus teaching them how to do dark magic, not too far fetched i think

3. Aaravos has one with him in his prison. I feel like all three need to be brought together to free him, one in the cube, one in virens staff and one that he has or is somewhere else and will come into play later on maybe

To celebrate the new season, I remade an old edit of mine: Virens little bug pal, but something's not quite right... 👀🤔

I posted my old edit of this on my old blog (hxwko) a few years ago!!

ok we have to take a moment to appreciate the execution of Callums...questionable... character arc (Season 4 spoilers, of course.)

- in the end credits of Rebirthday, the painting of Callum and Ezran has them standing in the same positions as Viren and Harrow, suggesting that they're in the same positions of perceived/actual power.

- Callums dedication to translating the runes highlights the downward spiral of his intentions as a mage: it borders on obsessive. We can see this in Breathtaking, where it is inferrable that he oversleeps after Rayla's return due to being overworked.

- the most obvious one takes place in Through the Looking Glass, when Zubeia recounts her experience with the mirror and Aaravos. Most specifically, her saying "Aaravos chose as his instruments people who had strong minds and strong hearts," which, let's be honest, the past 3 seasons have confirmed Callum to have, before the camera cuts to the man himself as she continues, "but those who had an insatiable thirst and fascination with magic." Here we can see him gazing into the mirror, as if searching for a final part of himself in there.

- the return of Rayla in itself is done brilliantly. Callums anger and conflict for it, and his feelings for her, is reasonable. It is human, something that is painfully obvious of him. But, on the flipside, it is this anger that exacerbates his downward spiral. He is painfully vulnerable, and withdraws from anything that could show this.

- his arc definitely peaks in Beneath the Surface, where in the scene remeniscent of LoTR: Return of the King, Callum is faced with the moral dilemma of letting go of the Key of Aaravos, destroying what gave him his power and position for the greater good, or keeping it for himself and maintaining his only sense of identity. By keeping it, he fully succumbs to the influence of Aaravos. He's a puppet for him, albeit subtly, because of the item he holds. We now know, without a doubt, that his insecurity of his position in society (step-prince, step-mage) is exploitable.

- "He a friend of yours?" "Not anymore." right at the beginning of Escape From Umber Tor can show two things: the grip Aaravos has on Claudia, isolating her, alongside the fact that Callum has become unrecognisable in character.

Finally watched the fifth season of The Dragon Prince! I honestly can‘t wait for when someone eventually breaks Aaravos out of prison, he‘s so weird. The perfect middle ground between menacing, chaotic and adorable. And also every time Aaravos and Viren interact is just so funny. So here‘s some Viravos doodles.
