AVA AND ELLIS😭

[bisexualenbyblueberry]

I love reading the birthday posts on the official site because of the tonal wiplash. It'll be all funny and wholesome like "awweee Kazi's parents give them a gift basket 🥺🥺🥺 Ava ate Ellis' pie XDDD" and then you'll check the next one and it'll be "Aaravos does not count the passage of time in minutes, nor hours, not even days — he counts candles, one after the other, burning themselves down to the wick and a puddle of hot wax." and like jesus dude what happened to Amaya and her sparring matches

Seems like the writers did in fact forget💀

“…Ellis pressed two fingers into her mouth letting out a deafening whistle and within seconds all of the canines reacted with enthusiasm, lurching the sleigh forward as Ellis cheered and whooped.

Ezran’s hands gripped onto the sides of the cargo hold screaming as they barreled down the hill but soon his screams gave way to laughter and cheers”

I’ve been thinking a lot about Ezran and how he hasn’t had time to hang out with the one friend he has around his age so I made time for him in the form of dog sledding!

✨️The Dragon Prince's characters in Percy Jackson Universe - P.1✨️

Callum - Cabin 1 (Zeus)

"God of the sky, thunder, lightning, kingship, honor and justice."

Children of Zeus are described as being extremely powerful half-bloods, due to their father being one of the Big Tree [...] They are said to have powers of Aerokinesis (the ability to manipulate air and wind) , Atmokinesis (the ability to manipulate the weather) and Electrokinesis (the ability to psychically generate and manipulate the eletricity)

Ezran - Cabin 18 (Hebe)

"The goddess of youth, vitality and forgiveness. She's also the daughter of Zeus and Hera, and the former cupbearer of the gods."

Although there is not much information about the Children of Hebe, they're said to have powers of Hebekinesis (ability to control and manipulate youth) and Vitakinesis (control of the healing process). Some describe them as being highly sociable individuals.

Rayla - Cabin 17 (Nike)

"The goddess of victory, daughter of the Titans Pallas and Styx. She assumes the role of the divine charioteer, a role in which she is often portrayed in Classical Greek art."

The Children of Nike do not have major participation throughout the book series, but there are some of their characteristics that are known, such as: their increased strength; incredible speed and agility (which can be compared to that one possessed by the Children of Hermes and Iris). They are described as competitive, hard-working, intense and motivated with their goals.

Soren - Cabin 7 (Apollo)

"The god of the sun, light, healing, disease, plague, music, art, poetry, archery, reason, knowledge, truth, and prophecy."

One thing noticed is that the abilities of some Children of Apollo tend to be more specialized in one direction rather than just gaining a general set of abilities like many other types of demigod children. The known abilities are: archery, healing, control of sound waves/music, mental and/or physical control of the light and also the power to create and control diseases.

Ellis - Cabin 8 (Artemis)

"The goddess of the hunt, archery, wilderness, animals, forests, the Moon, radiance, maidenhood, and childbirth."

As Artemis did not have children of her own, Cabin 8 serves to welcome the Hunters of Artemis . The Hunters of Artemis are maidens (which can be human, god, demigod, or nymph) who have sworn loyalty to the maiden goddess, to join her in the Hunt and reject love for as long as they live.

Hunters are immortal, wich mean that they can't die of illnesses or old age, unless they fall in love or they fall in battle. They are naturally stronger and faster than a mortal, demigod, or nymph. In addition, they also have the powers of Zoolingualism (ability to communicate with animals) and Photokinesis (ability to psychically manipulate light and related phenomena).

[flaming-thing]

Guys where was she 😭

The entire time they where at the moon nexus I was waiting for her and ava to appear. Someone would be in the background and I'd be like 'ELLIS??? IS THAT YOU????'

BUT.... Arc 3 ellis confirmed??

[youruinedmylifebynotbeingreal]

Ellis and Ava were supposed to be in the finale😭😭😭

[tategaminu]

I'm glad Callum in arc 2 is less goofy and has a deeper voice because one more comment about him being a Sokka copypaste and I'm losing myself

TDP Rewatch S1 E8: Cursed Caldera

Runaan does the intro voice! Nice, I forgot he did that. I was so spoiled for Moonfam content in season 7 that coming back to the early seasons has me missing him.

It's interesting that the Moonshadow elves still have a strong enough connection to the Moon Nexus that they keep a guardian mage there, with enough interaction that she's been married repeatedly, they have an established path back there, but Rayla didn't connect it to the Cursed Caldera from the beginning. Granted, she's never been to Katolis before and likely wouldn't know its exact location, but the other assassins also didn't bother to point it out to her on their way in.

I love how unbothered Ellis is by Rayla being an elf. She's so fundamentally kind, same as Ezran, but just also so unhinged. I wish we'd seen her interact with Aanya, those two girls would have been lethal together.

Y'all it's called the Cursed Caldera for a reason. Also Ellis literally already told you about the terrors and horrors of the mountain before.

"Is he okay?" Ellis whispers to Rayla as if she's not the most unhinged child I've ever seen in my life

watching their planning scene I'm just giggling feeling like I'm reminiscing about them being babies still figuring themselves and each other out.

I don't remember noticing before that the candles leading up to Runaan's cell door are lit with dark magic - they're purple fire. It just makes me think of LOTR, where the elves are just straight-up allergic to evil and being around fire like that would make them ill by sheer proximity. I know TDP elves don't canonically work like that, but it does evoke the vibe. It's a good animation choice.

Can we discuss that it's standard practice in Katolis that prisoners keep their clothes? We see this repeatedly later, with Soren, Claudia, Viren, Ezran, and Viren again. Runaan being shirtless and in torn pants is intentional treatment.

Oof, he winces when he sees the food Viren sets down in front of him. It's Xadian, which means someone had to go across the border to get it. Some of it's from Moonshadow Forest. So his presence here has caused an invasion of his home.

There's a bruise on his right shoulder that I hadn't noticed before, and he's developed a black eye, as well. That could just be the blow that previously only showed in his jaw showing more over time, sometimes wounds under the skin do that as they heal, but it could also be guards or Viren being cruel. We can't really say. The lighting really isn't letting me get a good evaluation of his left arm this time, though. Viren comments the hand has seen better days, so it's likely that the shadows are covering up symptoms of blood issues all the way to his fingertips at this point.

Runaan just flicking his eyes to the orange and back to Viren was a tiny gesture but conveyed the entire reaction of did you really think that would work and also would you fuck off already at the same time, and it's delightful. Bless the animators, honestly.

. . . Bless Gren, this poor sweet man. Has he been standing this entire time? I hope those chains give him enough room to at least sit down sometimes, it's been days.

anyone else remember all the old fics about Gren and Runaan breaking out together? I loved that. It's one of the things I've toyed with in an AU where Rayla actually got Runaan/the other assassins on the kids' side that night. It's in the "Runaan actually got captured covering their retreat with the princes" version that sits in my head.

why's everybody gotta deadpan Callum, "Monotony Mountain" is just as funny as any of the others.

Ava is an incredibly strong young wolf to be carrying two people on her back like that, even if they are kids.

I love how Runaan just looks vaguely annoyed when Viren comes back into his cell again. Like he's been keeping that sour resignation pretty solid but he's Extra Annoyed now, because this idiot won't just leave him alone. Mood, honestly, Runaan, I get annoyed at the sight of Viren too.

Imagine how pissed Runaan would be if he knew how Viren treated his kids. Runaan attacked his own kid once, after giving her every chance he possibly could, when she was for all intents and purposes a grown woman under his command who was fighting him, and he spent two years marinating in his own personal hell in the coin over it. What he did was completely sanctioned within his own culture's rules and it still plagued him endlessly. What Viren does to his kids isn't normal by anyone's standards, and instead of feeling bad about the harm he causes them, he frames it as their fault.

"Don't you know only humans can be bribed?" It's interesting that Runaan uses this phrasing. He doesn't say that elves don't use currency, he just says they can't be bribed - which makes no implication about the existence of currency in Xadia, but establishes that bribes of anything won't work there.

Also hot damn Jonathan Holmes (Runaan's VA) does things to me when he's growling, jesus

I love the frame by frame of Runaan examining the coins. Cold and disinterested gives way to focus, then shock, and then the fear hits. He realizes the moment he understands what's happened that he banished his friends over nothing, too, that their bodies were never found because they were taken, not because they ran.

(we never see a lotus attached to the Dragonguard, so I'm inclined to believe that's an assassin specific tradition, which explains why it was believed that Tiadrin and Lain ran and were assumed to be alive even when they were cursed)

The kids having their respective heart-to-hearts are really well-written. They're hitting me a little too much in the heart to give much commentary on them.

Wait, hang on a sec. *rewinds a few seconds*

oh I never noticed that before, holy shit

So in the first episode, when the elves first run into Markos, we get a shot of the assassins from profile after he starts running. Rayla pulls up her hood and takes off after him, and the other elves glance at her but let her go.

In Rayla's memory, Runaan turns to her and physically points her after the guard.

But he never actually did when we were seeing it from the omniscient narrator perspective!

Now, Runaan definitely shoulders the responsibility for what happened when he talks to her about it later, I'm not discounting that, but it's a super interesting storytelling thing to have her memory not match the events we saw earlier. It's such a subtle thing, but it really drives home how important Runaan's expectations and opinions are to her. Holy shit, it's awesome.

"Thanks for failing at your mission. I like being alive." is such a good moment, because yes, the dialogue is adorable, the kids are being cute, but I also think that this message wouldn't have hit Rayla as well from someone like Callum who would try to convince her it wasn't a failure. Ezran doesn't do that. He just acknowledges it's a failure but thanks her for it anyway, which breaks through her automatic defensiveness when someone tries to contradict her, and reminds her why she's doing all this. "I'm glad you're alive, Ezran." to be clear, I don't think Ezran's specifically picking and choosing his words to make her feel better, I just think he happened upon the exact perspective that was going to help her.

god, I love Jack De Sena. Occasionally his insecurities as Callum really call back to the Sokka days, and I get so nostalgic about it. This show is a blessing.

HOW FUCKING STRONG IS ELLIS, this girl yanks Ezran and the dragon egg up onto Ava's back with her all with one arm!

I love that Ellis barks with Ava, it's so cute.

Rayla's having a full on anxiety attack moment after tripping over the rock and killing the creature, and it hurts my heart. She almost didn't make it. She almost lost the boys, too. Then she's all hopped up on adrenaline and gets a swarm of little creatures crawling up her, how do you even fight that feeling, that'd be terrifying to begin with and she's already shaky from crisis. I just want someone to give her a hug and tell her it's gonna be okay.

Runaan is downright pissed now at the sound of Viren's approach, and honestly, yeah valid. I wonder what they told him about Viren's life or death status when he was resurrected in season 6, given Viren died at around the same time as Runaan came back.

Gods, I need to rewatch this episode more often just for Runaan's voice acting. The delivery of "You have succeeded." and "You have found something worse than death." just chills, every time, I love it.

I also like that this is the information he chooses to give. He's spent this long refusing to give Viren anything at all to go on, just repeating various refusals and claiming his own death. This though, he puts it forth as a warning. You're right, mage, this is worse. Don't toy with things you don't understand. This is dangerous, even to me, and I know what I'm looking at. Runaan makes choices about life and death, but this thing, this is beyond him. It's advice.

And Viren doesn't take it. He pushes farther, he's excited by this dark knowledge, so Runaan goes from this plaintive warning to spitting his final refusal, because if this foolish human is going to ignore his warnings, he can live with the consequences.

I know we all joke about Runaan calling the coins/capitalism worse than death, but he was actually talking about the mirror. The response the coins evoked was "You're a monster." He may not know what the coins even are until Viren rips his soul out to add to one himself. He may assume they're trinkets made from the death of an individual, just stealing them away and refusing to allow them to have their proper funeral rites. Which, for a culture with such a strong connection to death and the afterlife, I imagine would be a hell of a violation.

Gren's look of alarm and concern towards Runaan's cell gets me every time, too. We give the kids a lot of credit for their kindness, but Gren is also such a kind soul. He's a soldier, raised and trained to see Runaan as an enemy, but when he hears him scream, while locked in a dungeon, he still looks concerned. That says a lot about his character.

The fact that we can see Runaan moving in the coin initially is also intriguing. They seem to do away with that later, and I wonder if it was just a retcon or if the coins just slowly solidify to a specific moment.

As the credits sketch shows Corvus examining the snow elf, it makes me wonder what his thought process has been. Rayla told him the boys were following her willingly. He's not stupid - he and all the other soldiers likely saw that she wasn't holding swords on the boys until Callum said she would. She didn't fight to kill him, and she left after disarming and delaying him. The boys are still alive. Now they're in a village, and she's apparently relaxed enough to stop and make the snowman a snowelf. Word around town is that she ran off with two human children - the boys. He's likely putting the pieces together from there to realize she told him the truth, but still puzzling over why.

Ahh, the infamous credits sketch of Ethari's tears. The moment he realized Runaan was truly gone, and Rayla had really abandoned him. (I have a lot of thoughts about why Ethari reacted the way he did to this news, which I'll talk about more when they meet him later and I have other posts about, but from his perspective . . . yeah, this is really all he knows right now.) And we really didn't know his damn name for two more seasons.

[raylatdp-astridhttyd]

4 whole seasons but luckily we didnt
