OH MY GOD THE SEA SHANTY IS ABOUT AARAVOS

Woe to the man, the dark-eyed sailor

Ship’s adrift, and the sea’s his jailor

Drag him down,

Down, down, down

Down in the wicked depths below

Idk about you guys but I think this season finally gave us more on an insight into Viren as a human and as a father rather than a villain and a dark mage like in the previous seasons.

Like, at least to me, back in the first season it gave me the impression he almost saw Soren as replazable, more like a subordinate and not his son. Like he wouldn't care about whether Soren came back from looking for the princes or not.

This time though, he's openly very affectionate with his vision of baby Soren. He explicitly said 'l love you too', played with him, and desperately said he'd do anything to bring him back when he thought he was gone.

It's almost like the villain, dark mage part of him died with him, and Claudia only brought back her and Soren's dad.

I 100% think Viren was a bitch before because the dark magic did currupt him down to his soul and not only his appearance. Claudia said it was like a reset when he came back, so maybe that's why he's acting like this now: He's back to being almost fully human, not a dark mage. And that's also why Claudia is going more and more off the deep end every single time she uses dark magic.

There's a price to dark magic, and I think it not only takes the life of the animals and insects used to conjure a spell. It takes a part of the user's own humanity too.

Edit just to say: maybe this is why Callum is so crossed about dark magic too. He's very intuitive, so it's not only that he thinks it's immoral, but when he did dark magic the first time he felt something shift and he knows it comes with a higher price than everyone thinks. Maybe that's also why he's not phased by the idea of killing Aaravos while Ezran looks horrified at the idea.

I saw a tiktok comment stating that Aaravos blushes when picking up Viren’s statue. I had to find out even though I figured they were probably lying/joking. BUT I WAS WRONG. HE DOES ACTUALLY BLUSH.

I increased the sharpness and definition on both images EQUALLY to make it easier to see. It still might be hard if you’re a bit colorblind or something. Sorry about that.

I’m not the only one who sees this right? He clearly has more of a blush when he picks up Viren. I doubt it’s on accident because both scenes clearly use the same animation for Aaravos. Same mouth, eye, eyebrow, and hair position. But not the same blush. Like why would they randomly decide to add blush on that scene? The intros are so important. The team saw them so many times, they had to have noticed it. But idk.

I’m really hoping Tumblr doesn’t obliterate the quality cause i really do like how this came out!

My roommate initially came up with the idea of Callum, Ezran, and Rayla trying to set up for the holidays resulting in Callum getting tangled up in the Christmas lights so i ran with the idea.

Happy Holidays!!

Aditi probably knew from the start there was something up with the shadiest guy ever

(also btw you can't convince me that Aaravos isn't a metaphor for lobbyism)
