#Opelie

[air-seaprimal]

I think we as a fandom don’t talk enough about the implications of Rayla being in romantic relationship with a prince. Like she probably has a relatively low social status in the grand scheme of things. She’s just some random elf to everyone else.

I ‘d imagine it’s going to be an absolute nightmare for Opelie when the two are fully back together. Rayla’s probably also going to marry into the Katolis royal family. Which means she will have to parcipate and be involved with a lot.

I’m alive!!!! And I finally finished it!!! @adoodlers_world on instagram 💜💜💜💜

This was so much fun to draw, a little challenging but really fun!! I hope I did Opelie justice!!! 💜💜💜

2 18 40?

shkshkshks this took me wayy too long to respond sorry pheel ;w;

Who’s in charge of food? Do you have dragons in charge of the different factions (hunting/fishing/insect catching/harvesting) Hunting is delegated to just about everyone minus the guards, but Milk, Heavenwards and Cainwen are in charge of stores and prep work! Heavenwards is the offical "cook" while Milk and Cainwen are assistants :>

How about engineers, tinkerers, etc.? There's a LOT of crafty folks in Windswept!! There's Shinsaber, he works on a lot of electrical things like lamps/lights (which are really only used for fests), Ghira, who when shes not improving the guards armor makes a lot of sculptures, Chocolate likes to sculpt with clay, Opelie and Tumeric like to collect plants and natural stuff to make terrariums, basically the whole clan likes to make things :> little off from the original question but shh

Which dragon is the most temperamental? Either Dark or Fera; Fera's just crazy and has no impulse control, but Dark's struggling with the loss of a lot of people close to him and tends to be very temperamental around other dragons

Empty chair at Cannes for detained Russian rock biopic director

CANNES, France (Reuters) – There was an empty chair in Cannes on Thursday for a Russian film director under house arrest back home for a fraud case his producer called “ridiculous”.

“Leto” (“Summer”), a biopic about the early days of a Russian rockstar in the Soviet era, is the first of two films in the festival’s main competition to screen without their director.

Kirill Serebrennikov was arrested during the shoot and had to complete editing the film at home, alone, without being able to communicate with his cast and crew.

While the Iranian Jafar Panahi, whose movie “3 Faces” will screen on Saturday, is officially banned from making films or leaving the country, Russian authorities say Serebrennikov’s fraud case has nothing to do with censorship.

“We received an answer from Mr Putin yesterday (to a request to allow Serebrennikov to travel) who told the Cannes Film Festival and the French government that he would have been pleased to help … but in Russia justice is independent,” said Joel Chapron, who was chairing the news conference for the festival.

“Leto” portrays the rock scene of early 1980s St. Petersburg where musicians have to submit lyrics for official approval and audiences at the city’s one rock venue are policed to ensure they stay seated and do not show too much enthusiasm.

Established frontman Mike takes a younger singer-songwriter, Viktor, under his wing, setting up a love triangle with Mike’s wife Natasha.

Western audiences may be unaware that this is based on a true story and that Viktor Tsoi went on to become one of the most successful and influential rock musicians in Russia before his death in a car crash in 1990, aged 28.

“HE SPEAKS ABOUT TODAY”

Tsoi, who had a Soviet-Korean father, is played by Teo Yoo, a South Korean actor who had to learn the script phonetically as he does not speak Russian.

“I knew about Viktor. He is also famous in Korea,” Yoo told the news conference, saying it was scary to play a character familiar to millions of people in the former Soviet Union.

“For them, it’s like me playing Jesus,” he said.

With flashes of animation added unexpectedly by Serebrennikov during post-production, and scenes on a train and tram where members of the public break into song, the film has moments of surrealism and, according to Variety’s Guy Lodge, “avoids the bland structural pitfalls of the musical biopic”.

Not overtly political, the film will get a theatrical release in Russia, but its theme of state censorship and oppression will not go unnoticed as its auteur – who also directs theater and ballet – remains under arrest.

“This was more of a historical film – talking about the context of that time, not stressing any similarities (with the present),” producer Ilya Stewart said.

“Although, in my personal opinion, anything Kirill does in his work, whether it’s ballet, theater or any of his film, it’s about today. He speaks about today.”

“Leto” is one of 21 movies in competition for the Palme d’Or in the festival that runs from May 8 to May 19.

Random TDP headcannons

- Callum has a high spice tolerance, Rayla does not

-Bait collects gossip and spills the less sensitive stuff to Ezran

-There is a relationship crash course every new castle staff member has to take

-The castle staff have bets on just about everything that happens with the dragang

-MANY a courtly schemes where ruined when Callum and Rayla became a thing

-The staff have a nick name for Rayla and it’s future princess or future mistress

-Callum and Rayla didn’t actually make a formal announcement about their relationship, so nobody but those who lives in the castle new and their relationship became court gossip

-Many if the girls at court were pissed that the prince would pick an elf over them

-Said girls tried very hard to ruin her reputation but got some very intense death glares and warnings

-Opelie has to handle all the PR and when Rayla left her job became ten times harder because Callum refused to do shit

[air-seaprimal]

I had a revelation today.

Arravos is a stand in for Lucife. Here me out

Arravos is a fallen star, Lucifer is a fallen angle.

Both were apart the fall of man, Arravos with dark magic and Lucifer with the fruit of knowledge. Both were cast out for their sins by God or a god-like figure (I still don’t trust Aditti). There’s more biblical stuff.

Rayla means something akin to sacrificial lamb. What was Jesus? The lamb which was supposedly suppose to the scapegoat for humanity. I. E. Rayla’s savior complex.

Callum means dove, I don’t think I really need to explain this one.

Ezra’s is very close to the name Ezra; the name of one of the prophets.

You remember how it’s tradition in Katolis to mourn a monarch for seven days and knights. That’s a Jewish tradition.

In short no story is truly original and my brain went weird places.

[air-seaprimal]

Anyone else wondering if Opelie is like Lissa’s cousin or something
