I need it so bad

Average evening with Falk and Attila

Had the urge to crosspost a tiktok of mine (@/hamiloki01 if you desire some grade a mid Ghost cosplay content with occasional shitposts)

[ccsven]

One thing I won’t miss if or when tiktok gets banned is the flooding of posts of people screaming that it’s the end times and the second coming of Christ is coming soon or the rapture is soon. Those posts were awful on my mental health and I would mass block every single person I saw posting that kind of content. I don’t see those posts anywhere but TikTok. I can do without it and I won’t miss them

The fact that The Mystery of Aaravos was probably the fact that he's a grieving father.

Before the reveal in season 6, he was still a mysterious figure we didn't know much about. We still didn't know his motivations, but that all changed when he finally told the story of him and Leola.

Suddenly we understand everything. His motives, his goals, his backstory and his tragedy. We understand why he's doing what he's doing and the sad truth about his current circumstances.

But it doesn't stop there, because the revelation of Leola's murder means we finally understand what started the cycle and what Aaravos is now fighting against in the name of his fallen daughter.

But it continues into season 7 because him being a father is an extremely important part of his character. It's a core element.

His father-daughter dynamic with Claudia becomes a very important connection for the both of them. Aaravos can finally let down his guard with someone for the first time in a very long time and Claudia can finally accept the death of her father, Viren. They heal each other.

But his father motif goes deeper then that. The writers even go as far as to have him self internalize with the mother bird about how he feels he is a failed father because he was unable to save Leola. Remember when Leola's friend was calling out for help and Aaravos ran straight to her because he thought she was in danger? Well, when her friend says, "Will Leola be okay?" Aaravos says, "Yes. I know where to find her." He really believed he could save Leola, but he couldn't and it still eats him up, even to this day.

Moving back onto Aaravos and Claudia, we also get this very powerful scene where Aaravos admits to Claudia that he thinks Viren will not be in the in between because he has come to care for Claudia as a daughter and is now giving her an out. But Claudia knew for a long time but has been willingly following Aaravos anyway, but here and now, she needs to know why he's doing this. So he opens up to her.

This is the first time that Aaravos has probably opened up to someone in a very long time and someone has even asked him about his feelings and why he wants what he wants. It's a very important turning point. And Claudia accepts the pain he feels and understands his viewpoint. This is all for the unjust murder of a little girl who was killed for nothing other then real cruelty. And even though some of Aaravos' means are questionable, his ultimate goal is for a world of equality. Taking out an Order that views the old, unjust ways.

Let's not forget, he also was the one that gave humans magic because he wanted to continue Leola's compassionate work of aiding their suffering.

Last but definitely not least, Aaravos calling Claudia his daughter and making a portal to get her out of the battlefield because he cannot watch another daughter die. She is precious to him.

Claudia's expression says a lot as well without her having to say anything. She cares for Aaravos as much as he cares for her.

So yeah, that's what I think anyway. I could be completely wrong but I truly do believe that was ultimately the true Mystery of Aaravos.

I’ve noticed something about all of the elfsonas Aaravos has.

The skywing version has antlers instead of horns that curl around the ears

The Moonshadow version his horns turn more upward than the rest

The tidebound version his horns are more sharper than other tidebound elves, and he has arm fins and POSSIBLY neck frill fins

The sunfire version his horns are broken and burn like lava at the tips

And the earthblood version, while this type of elf has varying types of horns or antlers, his hair is more leafy in shape compared to other earthblood elves and his skin has crystals growing off his arms and horns.

This makes me believe that he’s flipping through ancient types of elves, from before he was imprisoned, with qualities that have since been evolved out of fashion.

I love how gently Aaravos holds the moon stone when Claudia tosses it to him

I wonder if death would be a sweet release for Aaravos.

I’m talking like permanent death, not “I’ll see you in 7 years” death.

Would he realize it’s over and give in, knowing he’ll go wherever Leola is? Even if it’s nowhere, nothing but non existence?

I can’t help but imagine tears running down his face, genuinely smiling because he believes he’ll see her again.

Believing in an afterlife is a way to come to terms with death.

Rip Aaravos, you would’ve loved Sleep Token

That human form of Aaravos was probably the last possible design I would have expected for real

Screaming that they referenced Puzzle House in season 7

One of the more interesting things from The Dragon Prince graphic novels

Spoilers below for the show and the comic

Claudia says that Aaravos’ bug spun Viren’s dead body into a cocoon to keep the body from decomposing so it can be resurrected.

In the graphic novel: Through the Moon, Rayla finds Viren in the in between while trying to find Runaan and her parents. He was spun in a cocoon similar to the one after the bug spun its own cocoon. Pretty neat reference
