We love to see TDP's two weirdest (and most traumatised) characters hanging out

[juice-thief-frog]

Sir sparklepuff is Leola's half-brother send tweet

Anyways Sparklepuff should have been a fluffy moth lad.

so i did a thing

[juice-thief-frog]

something about how callum’s father had a breathing related/respiratory disease. something about how callum’s first arcanum was the sky arcanum, how his most signature spell is the breathing spell (aspiro). something about how soren had a wheezing/coughing/respiratory disease as a child. something about how soren had possibly the same issues as callum’s father and how Soren is like a brother figure to callum. something about how viren turned to dark magic to save soren. something about how the only two times callum used dark magic it was to save his loved ones. something about the parallels between callum and viren, the two high mages.

Damn, Viren fumbled a bad bitch huh

[juice-thief-frog]

Being favored by Viren didn't end so well for Claudia either.

I think a lot about how the series talks about fear as an emotional reaction worth honouring, to be honest. There's the obvious parallels between ignoring a person's fear as a part of de-personalization from being an assassin

RAYLA: The human, he looked up at me, and I saw the fear in his eyes! RUNAAN: Of course he was afraid! But you had a job to do!

as well as something you can revel in if you're too twisted by that time, or in that moment, to see it as the warning sign that it is

CLAUDIA: You're used to humans running away, aren't you? Running, hiding, cowering. All through history dragons have had the power while humans lived in fear. Well times are changing. [...] It won't follow us. But not because it's trapped. [Grinning] It won't follow because it's afraid of me.

but also most evidently here as something Viren ignored in his wife, and was ignored in his son because "There was one more ingredient I needed, something so simple and easy: her tears."

And I knew she was right. I had become a monster.

Soren having to listen to Viren apologize and praise him is so. Visceral.

The simultaneous ecstasy and rage that comes from hearing the person you wanted to please most say exactly what you wanted to hear, but knowing deep down this must be a trick... right? He's just trying to manipulate you again. Even if he has changed, you can never let yourself be vulnerable to him again because what if he hasn't? Your relationship with him is so broken that believing that he's changed is a danger to you.

But still you personally bring him food every day, you still ask for his help in your most desperate moment when everything is burning down around you because he is your dad. And you love him as much as you hate him. And it sickens you. Look what he's done to you. To everyone. This is his fault, and he is the only one who can fix it.

But you can never be fixed. Your heart will continue to burn, caused by no dark magic, but because of expertly inflicted wounds.

Oh my god Callum’s parents were a soldier (Sarai), a poet (Damian) and a king (Harrow)……

[juice-thief-frog]

Sorry for the stupid line callback he was just like. Specifically requested or something. Idk .

so, the guy in the ace flag colors

(ace flag made with colors picked from Aaravos turnaround model)

✨Reproduces through asexual reproduction✨

Aaravos really be out here spawning the caterpillar from his own mouth like he's budding, huh.

mlem mlem plop

Step 1: spit out a bug Step 2: bug receives primal radiation to begin growth Step 3: pod Step 4: open pod

Leaves me to wonder, from a scientific perspective: if Sir Sparklepuff is indeed a clone/bud of Aaravos, maybe Sir Sparklepuff actually has Aaravos's true form. Ahaha, god that would be wild.

(But don't you think it's a little sus that these godlike beings just so happen to look exactly like elves, even though they're thousands of years older? I do. I don't trust that beauty. Something's up. Maybe it's benign, or some kind of "become an aspect of what you're worshipped for" or something. But if you could bend reality then why would you keep looking like elves 24/7? And you know I'm asking seriously because I'd be an elf for like 2479 years first before I tried any other shape. So: if god, why elf?)

Anyway, this asexual reproduction is the funniest thing in the whole show to me. Aaravos is the sluttiest slut who ever slutted, but he doesn't understand sex at all... unless he does, but with his Startouch brain, sex is just the same as everything else.

Which is extremely, extremely asexual of him.

Y'all can pry genius idiot asexual Aaravos from my cold dead hands. I'm keeping him forever.

how many therapy sessions do you think callum had with bait over the years

[juice-thief-frog]

thinking about how viren loved harrow like the sun

and how sun is truth and justice and

I SHINE ONLY WITH THE LIGHT YOU GIVE ME???

HE MIRRORED THE SUN??

faced with questioning- his justification was I am a servant to katolis, as he admired harrow used to say the same thing
