Nothing says "come home safely" like an enchantment at the zenith of the harvest moon:

The fact that Ethari is out there casting every spell imaginable under the zenith of the blood moon just to ensure his loved ones come home DOES things to me.

what is ethari even doing while hes alone in the silvergrove

[beautifulterriblequeen]

Does he still love me?

I’ve been feeling for a while that Runaan and Tinker argued before he and Rayla left on their mission. Argued hard, over him taking Rayla with him. Maybe over other things, too--the mission itself and some less-related issues. Behaviors. How, from Tinker’s perspective, Runaan always does what he’s told. Never thinks for himself. Refuses to accept responsibility for what he does, for the results of his own actions. (The Dragon Queen this, the Dragon Queen that) How he’s going to take Rayla, a fifteen-year-old unblooded assassin, on an assassination mission, because he can’t think his way out of it, and on some level doesn’t want to. How can he sit there and think that anything about that decision is okay? Because he’s not deciding. He’s abstaining. He’s dodging, using that DEX 18 for things it was never meant to be used on.

“Runaan, you can dodge swords and arrows all night long, but you can’t dodge this responsibility. You’ll get Rayla killed! You know she’s not ready!”

And Runaan just. Can’t. See. Where Tinker is coming from. He can’t. He’s trained himself too long to be hard enough to do whatever it takes, and that means shutting a lot of options out. He can be flexible as hell on missions, in every way possible. But he can’t think himself out of a wet paper bag when it comes to civilian decisions. Runaan’s honest-to-the-moon too hard. 

Runaan and Tinker have often understood each other on several levels at once, and even when they don’t really see where the other is coming from, they trust each other. Moonshadows earn trust slowly, but they keep it close to their hearts once they have it. These two have been through a lot together. But Runaan taking Rayla on this mission was just too much for Tinker. He couldn’t stretch his mind far enough to see what Runaan saw, and that scared him. Runaan had a place so quiet and deadly, so calculating, that Tinker couldn’t reach it. Couldn’t reach him when he went there. (this is where VIren lives, btw, that cold, calculating place--Runaan can absolutely go there too)  And Tinker had to decide: Do I turn cold and calculating in order to understand Runaan, or so I draw a line?

Tinker drew the line. Runaan’s the Slytherin, and Tinker’s the Ravenclaw. Only one of these will do whatever it takes, at any cost, and that’s the point where they found themselves. That’s the point where Tinker had to step back and say No. He wasn’t willing to risk Rayla’s life, even if Rayla was. That’s not how you treat your child. But in that moment, saying No to Rayla’s mission meant saying No to Runaan’s plan, and to Runaan. The plan to take Rayla was a reflection of who Runaan is. Runaan felt rejected along with his plan when Tinker objected. 

And so they argued. Maybe they separated. Do Moonshadows break up? Separate? Divorce? Somehow these words don’t seem nearly dramatic enough for the breaking of such a hard-won trust between two elves who love each other deeply, but who fundamentally disagree. What did they do?

*whispers* Runaan, Tinker, what did you do?

Does Rayla know? I guess we’ll find out. But at some point before Runaan’s lotus sank, Tinker lost a stripe on his right arm, a gem from his left horn, and the ringed horn tips he was wearing earlier. Did he set them aside with cool logic and hope that Runaan would come to his senses? Did he yank them off, pry that gem out with a screwdriver, and throw them all off a cliff into a raging river? Did he cry? Did he lock himself in his workshop and build things for a week straight? Did he protest the mission, yell at the Dragon Queen? 

A few lyrics selections from their songs:

(Tinker) [”I Am All That I Need,” Fleet Foxes] So it's true, I've gone too far to find you And the thumbprint scar I let define you Was a myth I made you measure up to It was all just water, winding by you 

(Runaan) [”Kiss From a Rose,” Seal] I've been kissed by a rose on the grey And if I should fall, will it all go away? 

(Tinker) [”Quelqu’un M’a Dit,” Carla Bruni] I am told that destiny is making fun of us It doesn't give us anything and it promise us everything It appears that happiness is within reach So we reach out and we find ourselves crazy However someone told me that you still love me It is someone that told me that you still love me Would it be possible then?

(Runaan)  [Full Moon,” The Black Ghosts] 'Cause all I want is here and now but it's already been and gone Our intentions always last that bit too long Far far away, no voices sounding No one around me and you're still there Far far away,

Found this again and laughed anyways Ty TDP ily

I believe in the writers so much, but I think because Voltron ruined just about everything in the end I have some constant paranoia that everything will be ruined 

[sarasade]

Since The Dragon Prince is ending (or at least the second arc is ending) in December I'll celebrate that by listing the funniest things I've witnessed in the fandom during these years:

-The Great Aaravos Thirst of 2019.

-Knowing The Thirst™ had been even greater if Tumblr wouldn't have banned porn just a year earlier.

-Aaravos' character designer being very happy with all the thirst posting.

-The Great Virst of 2019 that was balanced out by the people who thought Viren was a total troll.

-Rayla-Claudia-Callum love triangle speculations before s3.

-"Viren actually killed everyone, including Sarai and his ex-wife", speculations during s1-3.

-Aaravos Is A Good Person and a cinnamon roll -speculations.

-Fandom calling Ethari "The Tinker" before his name was revealed and also correctly predicting him and Runaan being a couple long before it got confirmed.

-Jason Simpson (Viren's VA) being grumpy about people shipping Aaravos and Viren while Todd Erik Dellums (Aaravos's VA) egged the fans on and seemed to find the ship pretty funny.

-After the Midnight Star poem's full English translation got released some fans concluded that Elarion was a human girl Aaravos once was in love with and thus Elavos was born. You can still search the ship name on Tumblr to experience the time campsule of 2019 era of the fandom. Yes, people shipped Aaravos with a literal city and I think that's beautiful.

-The drought period of 2019-2022 hiatus where it was just a couple really weird terminally online fans posting their harmless headcanons, including a small fandom of a. ten people forming around Viren's ex-wife Lissa.

-Unhinged TDP fan theories like "Aaravos is Callum's Dad" and "Callum will learn every primal source" aka wanting TDP to be Avatar 2.0 but with elves.

-The fan response that parodied these theories including "Everyone is a Startouch elf, especially Bait"

-The Great FartGate of 2022 aka all of TDP Twitter collectively complaining about the fart jokes in s4.

-These 2024 Valentine's Day posts most likely done by the lead writer Devon Giehl.

-If you search Aaravos on Google the most frequently asked question is about his gender.

-TDP wiki gleefully listing Aaravos and Viren as Sir Sparklepuff's parents after s5.

-The fandom never letting go of the "Viren imprisoned Harrow in Pip" theory.

-Which Primal Source Are You -Quiz from 2018 foreshadowing events of the show like "where would you hide a dangerous magical object" and one of the answers being "in the bottom of the sea" possibly referring to Aaravos' pearl.

-A tweet fans thought was a mistake actually foreshadowed Aaravos being a giant.

I'll add more later if I feel like it.

edit:

ok one more: behold, one of the most popular TDP posts on Tumblr

SFR Update: Outlining the rest of Book 1

Hey everyone! Sorry for the silence, I took a two week break from SFR after chapter 12 was released and then I spent most of last week starting to make a rough outline for the timeline for the rest of book 1. And don't worry, book 1 and book 2 operate like TDP's seasons they will be contained in the same fic, you won't have to switch, the only thing that will change is the title card of each chapter. I'm not done outlining it yet, it's very hard, and a couple of things that *are* here are in a spot that I deem them unsatisfactory, so I may have to tinker around with it for a *while* which is why I announced the temporary hiatus after chapter 12 is released. But rest assured, I'm committed to making it *Temporary* but I can't say how long it will be. Probably not a year, and *hopefully* significantly shorter so we won't get the extreme gaps that happened between chapters when I had *no* time to work on SFR. But please give me *at least* one to two months before the next chapter begins and we'll see where we go from there.

Brainstorming is hard, for me it's the hardest and most annoying part of writing, but it's necessary. I'll be honest, my *best* ideas for SFR usually come out of nowhere, I get sudden bursts of inspiration when I'm listening to music or watching a show. But if I relied on those bursts to write the entire story for me we'd be here for the next 20 years and as much as I like working on this project, I *do* wanna finish it in a somewhat reasonable timeframe haha. Plus I think my readers would all lose interest if this went on for 20 years so...

But yeah, currently I've gotten up to day 30 written (that's day 30 in terms of the entire SFR timeline, so previous chapters included, this means about 10 additional days that were not in chapters yet have been added to the timeline.) Insane isn't it? Sol Regem's reign of terror has been going on for about a month now... I may have the characters reflect on that who knows.

I already know the ending of book 1, I've known for a while and I'm curious how do y'all think it will end? I'm curious to hear your theories.

Thank you for all your support on chapter 12 so far! If you've read it please don't hesitate to tell me everything you thought about it. And if you haven't please don't hesitate to comment once you have. I'll still read and reply to all comments for the foreseeable future and they've really been helping keep me going. You don't know how much I geek out when I get them... I always write chapters thinking "Ooo I wonder what they're gonna think about this, this and this" and I always love seeing readers comment on those things, every time I see them I immediately want to go write the next chapter lol.

Anyways enough about the comments, that's about all I have for you today. So yeah, it will be a bit before the next chapter releases, but hopefully not *too* long, it just depends with how much my brain wants to cooperate with me.

Thank you for everything!

[raayllum]

how long would you say you've actively shipped any of your favorite ships? - im curious specifically about sorvus, sorpeli, and claudiez

I wouldn't say Sorvus is one of my faves even if I do 1) love Soren and Corvus individually, 2) Corvus is one of my favourite side characters in the whole show (like top 5) and 3) I do really like them! That being said:

Canon

For the bulk of TDP ships, canon-wise, I shipped them as their relationships were revealed (aka Harrow/Sarai with the info we got in S1, Claudia/Terry with the info we get in S4, Runaan/Ethari back when he was known as 'Tinker' thanks to the S1 credit sketch, etc).

For Janaya, I shipped them from the first time they met in S2, since "rival intellectually and physically matched generals on the battlefield" along with both being very pretty is a decently long-ish homoerotic trend in literature (aka a production I saw of "Coriolanus" really leaned in on it, although I think I saw that pre-S2's release. Applies though)

For Rayllum, I shipped them pre-show even if I was also down to brotp them. They'd be travelling together, thus having plenty of time to develop an interesting dynamic / were around the same age, and the screencap released before the premiere of them sitting under the tree (Callum, distracted but eager, and Rayla, exasperated and fond) really drew me in since that's a ship type - dynamic and gender wise (I don't tend to love ships where the guy is the more grumpy/guarded one, I think, since women are so often forced to do More of the emotional labour in relationships Anyway) - I'm already Very susceptible to. I tried to hold off a little bit in early S1 cause I didn't want to ship them too hard, but then 1x05 came along with the boat scene and it was Over for me. They've had my heart ever since (5 years going on forever)

Requested Rarepairs

Sorvus

So I didn't really ship Sorvus (although I was never opposed to them) for the majority of the time post-S3. I didn't really ship Soren with anyone and preferred Gren/Corvus at that time (due to their personalities / closer dynamic to Amaya and therefore each other) as well as enjoying Corvus/Opeli. However I was also really hoping that Corvus would stay on the council/with Ezran, and figured that if Soren was going to end up with anyone, Corvus was probably the most realistic choice (shared goals, decent development, timeskip to help things, similar ages).

That said I still didn't actively ship them (like I didn't mind them but was completely impassive/neutral y'know?) until I wrote an interaction between them in "if heaven and hell decide" (a canon divergent S2 where Claudia and Soren decide to delay their betrayal of the trio, and therefore travel with them for much longer) and the fact that Corvus would see Soren at his worst in canon (S2) but also see and appreciate who Soren was becoming... I started to turn a corner and grew to ship them a lot more. I'm really excited for them to eventually be canon, it seems, even if they're not My Endgame for either character In My Head for years-post war, at least for now.

Claudiez

For aged up Claudia/Ezran, I think this post (dated July 2021) was when I started to ship these two. There was something about the interplay of Claudia telling Callum about Harrow's death, but he only seeks out comfort from Rayla, and Ezran rejecting Rayla's offered comfort about Harrow and instead accepting it from Claudia, that felt very apt to me? And then a couple weeks later I wrote my formal "I actually do ship Claudiez and here's why" meta so it's been a few years now!

Both the younger sibling uniquely given their father's mantle to carry in ways their older brother just doesn't have to; Ezran being connected to all nature while Claudia continually perverts it, thus Ezran having the relationship to nature that she needs to learn/acquire for her own healing additionally; they both see the throne as a tool to help and breaking their fathers' cycles with each other; the childhood friends to enemies to friends to lovers of an according slow burn because of said age gap; ending up as Queen of Katolis but not the way her father imagined and ending up with one of the brothers, just not the one everyone previously expected; Ezran getting to grow up and into his own and assert his independence and choices (no matter what his brother thinks about it), etc. I also think personality wise they suit each other - Terry's parallels to Ezran in personality are some of the reasons I think Clauderry works at least as a short term pairing.

It's also kinda perfect bc, since they'd only get together like 10-15 years post the end of the show Anyway, so like. they're Endgame to me no matter what and there's nothing canon can really do about it, #improvise adapt overcome.

Sorpeli

This probably started out as the truest crack ship because it started as a joke of like, Soren flirting with her at 20 and easy to dismiss and then again when he's 30 and Opeli is like "I deserve a little fun," so they start having a physical fling, and then catch feelings (Soren falls first, she falls harder). The earliest post I have for them is from May 6th 2023 but I know realistically I'd probably shipped them for a lot longer (what can I say, younger men not being put off my older women aging bc society is bullshit, and contrasting personalities + devoted man & woman who feels undeserving will always get me) before I ever had mind to say anything. Then I dragged @jelzorz into it and the rest, they say, is history. So like 1.5 years at least now?

I'd probably be even more into Sorpeli than I already am but I'm not unconvinced that Opeli won't die (I really hope she doesn't, but I do understand how it could benefit Ezran's narrative in particular) but like if all seasons pass by and she's alive? Canon crack quartet with Endgame Rayllum, Claudiez, Sorpeli, and CorTerry is a go <3

TLDR;

Rayllum before the show started, Janaya in S2, everything else when the ships got introduced, then next we have Claudiez (July 2021), Sorvus (casually since Oct 2021), and Sorpeli (late 2022/early 2023).

The Dying Planets - Story Intro

TITLE: The Dying Planets (TDP)

STATUS: Planning/Rough Draft (expected length: 30 chapters) 

GENRE: Sci-Fi Fantasy, Adventure, Mystery, Space Opera 

SYNOPSIS:

Amid growing turmoil across the galaxy, the assassination of the Arch-Seer - a key political figure and head of the Interplanetary Coalition - has resulted in an unprecedented power struggle between warring planet-based crime syndicates and the Interplanetary Coalition who had previously maintained peace between the numerous planets and races in the galaxy.   

During all of this, a young thief from Earth with an impressive resume named Bianca is hired to track down and find a woman named Eiko, but Bianca soon finds that she is not the only one interested in this woman. Bounty hunters, outlaws, pirates, marauders and even police officers from the Interplanetary Coalition all race against each other to reach Eiko first. Bianca is left fighting to finish her job while hoping to find answers as to what makes Eiko so important. 

Meanwhile, Artemis “the Witch” is an officer in the IC who now leads a newly formed investigation unit that has been assigned to crack down on the criminal activity along with other Investigation units across the galaxy. Her first target is the criminal wanted for the assassination of the former Arch-Seer.

Their paths all cross together, forcing details behind the motivations of their respective parties to come to light. Unraveling Eiko’s importance is the first step in a mystery leading to unlikely alliances, dangerous foes, and a plot that ties the Arch-Seer’s assassination to a 10-year old tragedy that had left the Earth shattered and fissured. 

POV: third person limited, multiple perspectives

You’ll enjoy this if you love… 

Space, Sci-fi fantasy, Magic, Adventure, Mystery

CHARACTERS - Main Cast: Bianca, Eiko, Cyprinus, Artemis, Florence, Alqamar, Zion, Orion

Future Plans: The original intention was try to make a web animation around this, but the feasibility of that original goal has become less and less likely. I will still tinker with animations and drawings related to this story, but as of now this will likely remain a written story (with heavy storytelling influence taken from film, animation, and scripted media)

[nightflower-stuff]

YAZZ! MY FAVORITE SHIP 😭❤️🫶💘

Do you ship it?

reason: GAY ELF DADS YAY

[robotslovedeath]

tinkaan stans, i got you covered!

[beautifulterriblequeen]

hi hello are we looking wunce agayne at Ethari's cool arrows yes hi

Imma be honest, I hope it's multipurpose and that we get to see the same arrowheads do multiple things because 😍!!! This specific arrow looks like it can snip or grapple, yeah! But also straight-up shoot things-

Oh, new thought mid reply: Remember how Claudia Did A Thing to the relic staff and suddenly it could take on an evolved form? Maybe these will turn out to be Runaan's "normal arrows" but Rayla knows a trick to activate them so they can Do More Stuff.

...Okay, where was I. Ah.

We did see the dragons getting chained down instead of shot out of the sky in S3's big battle. While those were human devices, the concept of nonlethal attacks is a good one for a kids' show with a war going on. And if the arrows can Do More Stuff like that, then Rayla has more options in a pinch during the course of S5 (and beyond? we shall see)

tldr: I hope Rayla uses those arrows a bunch and does a whole slew of cool stuff with em, go gettem girl

I know I’m late to the party as usual, work, timezones, yadayada, but… what’s up with this arrowhead? It’s split, like tongs or a grapple? My theory is that it’s a utility arrow that opens in the air to grab or hold onto something, rather than one meant to kill, it’s meant to do something else. Like… take down annoying overgrown pigeons, maybe? Or a grappling hook?

[rumowrites]

Tinker: Hey honey what are you doing?

Runaan: *trying to do a handstand on one finger because Rayla dared him to* Oh nothing, I was just stretching...

Tinker: yeah sure

[dwagon-pwince-blog]

us when tinker isnt in season 3 even though we were all convinced he would be
