I wonder if Aaravos’s endgame is going to involve him summoning a star devourer dragon to eat the cosmic councils stars.

Yeah I think it's been teased we're going to learn more dragon lore next season, and I'm deeply curious. Since Aaravos already corrupted the Sun Nexus and is presumably going to target the Moon Nexus, I do think his ultimate goal is to be able to kill the Cosmic Council permanently. A Star devourer dragon, either summoning, creating, or becoming one, could certainly fit the bill, and I think there's one on the intro Star chart as well, too.

Others were never to blame after all You believe me like a god I betray you like a man

something something both Janai and Amaya having similar issues to Rayla but they deal with them in a healthy way

and if I stay much longer, you’ll wake up and try to stop me… from doing what I know I have to do. Leaving. But I can’t let you stop me, Callum. No matter how much I want to. I have to be strong. No matter what.

Who needs enemies when you have siblings like Karim. Imagine your sister dies and you get the throne which you weren’t expecting to ever get and your little brother is running around acting like the last idiot. Poor Janai.

random dragon prince post but the posts saying that Aaravos made up the whole story about Leola is really aggravating to me - not just from a character standpoint, but a cinematic and writing technique standpoint too.

First - from a cinematic standpoint, shows generally do not show detailed flashbacks to support a story if a character is lying. There might be certain pieces missing that another character would fill in later, but the entire story is not a lie. There would not be another cinematic scene to support it.

Second - the writers would not take most of an episode to explain this story if it were a complete lie. It would be a total waste of production time and run time just to throw it away later on. They could spend that time developing another plot line or character arc but they chose to dedicate it to Aaravos. They chose to dedicate it to the context behind his actions.

Third - this episode is meant to explain much of Aaravos’s motivations. This is something that the previous seasons have all built up to, and it makes complete sense to place it at the end of the sixth season “stars” before the seventh season “dark”. This sets up a huge chunk of the premise of the next season and the final conflict. It also is cohesive and coherent with the theme of the show as it talks about cycles of trauma and violence and how institutional violence is extremely harmful and causes so many of these cycles.

There is just no reason, on a writing craftsmanship level, for Aaravos to be flat-out lying.

Half-Disarmed

The way Runaan stumbles and flings himself away, fleeing from Rayla and reverting to his corrupted/self-loathing murder mode, hurts me every time I see it.
