Me when Netflix repeatedly promotes season 7 as a “culmination” and the “final chapter”:

EVERYTIME AARAVOS OPENS HIS MOUTH SOMETHING WEIRD GOES OUT OF IT

LIKE, WHAT DID HE MEANT WITH “I swallowed her🥶😘🫢🫢❤️‍🔥” AND “Our child😩😩😍🫣”

[weebssecretattic]

We, as a fandom, are not collectively worried enough about how much Callum is gonna FREAK when he realizes that he had brought the wrong pearl and during their absence aaravos got f-ing free!! Like we actually risk loosing so much progress, my boy is gonna go down the self hating spiral again 😭😭

Just wanna say something to everyone out there in the TDP fandom:

So I know there's a low chance of Arc 3 and uncertainty with the panel getting cancelled and everything, on top of not being able to extend the hype/wait for s7 til next year, but, that doesn't mean we have to say goodbye to the fandom forever.

Just because we might not get more seasons, doesn't mean the fandom has to die.

As long as we keep on talking about it, making and sharing memes, drawing fanart, reading and writing fanfic, making edits and AMVs, making and listening to podcasts and our playlists we've made, TDP is still alive.

I don't care if this is the last year of the show, I'll still want to host another Rayllum Month next year. I'll still want to write and read fic. I'll still be playing around with making AMVs.

Just because the show stops, doesn't mean we should.

Because, I believe, the show only truly dies when the fandom dies. And if we keep making stuff and interacting and having fun together, TDP will never die.

Since The Dragon Prince is ending (or at least the second arc is ending) in December I'll celebrate that by listing the funniest things I've witnessed in the fandom during these years:

-The Great Aaravos Thirst of 2019.

-Knowing The Thirst™ had been even greater if Tumblr wouldn't have banned porn just a year earlier.

-Aaravos' character designer being very happy with all the thirst posting.

-The Great Virst of 2019 that was balanced out by the people who thought Viren was a total troll.

-Rayla-Claudia-Callum love triangle speculations before s3.

-"Viren actually killed everyone, including Sarai and his ex-wife", speculations during s1-3.

-Aaravos Is A Good Person and a cinnamon roll -speculations.

-Fandom calling Ethari "The Tinker" before his name was revealed and also correctly predicting him and Runaan being a couple long before it got confirmed.

-Jason Simpson (Viren's VA) being grumpy about people shipping Aaravos and Viren while Todd Erik Dellums (Aaravos's VA) egged the fans on and seemed to find the ship pretty funny.

-After the Midnight Star poem's full English translation got released some fans concluded that Elarion was a human girl Aaravos once was in love with and thus Elavos was born. You can still search the ship name on Tumblr to experience the time campsule of 2019 era of the fandom. Yes, people shipped Aaravos with a literal city and I think that's beautiful.

-The drought period of 2019-2022 hiatus where it was just a couple really weird terminally online fans posting their harmless headcanons, including a small fandom of a. ten people forming around Viren's ex-wife Lissa.

-Unhinged TDP fan theories like "Aaravos is Callum's Dad" and "Callum will learn every primal source" aka wanting TDP to be Avatar 2.0 but with elves.

-The fan response that parodied these theories including "Everyone is a Startouch elf, especially Bait"

-The Great FartGate of 2022 aka all of TDP Twitter collectively complaining about the fart jokes in s4.

-These 2024 Valentine's Day posts most likely done by the lead writer Devon Giehl.

-If you search Aaravos on Google the most frequently asked question is about his gender.

-TDP wiki gleefully listing Aaravos and Viren as Sir Sparklepuff's parents after s5.

-The fandom never letting go of the "Viren imprisoned Harrow in Pip" theory.

-Which Primal Source Are You -Quiz from 2018 foreshadowing events of the show like "where would you hide a dangerous magical object" and one of the answers being "in the bottom of the sea" possibly referring to Aaravos' pearl.

-A tweet fans thought was a mistake actually foreshadowed Aaravos being a giant.

I'll add more later if I feel like it.

edit:

ok one more: behold, one of the most popular TDP posts on Tumblr

[silvergrovelillies]

Soren & Corvus being a married couple

[uwudonoodle]

Rayla had a really terrible day, and she found a small way to cheer herself up a little by mildly torturing Callum.

[mandaloriandragontrainer]

Callum’s Deep Truth: *is Rayla in the form of starlight. Literally. Rayla made out of stars. Just Rayla*

That guy: Well Actually his deep truth is his love for magic and life in general. It just so happens to take the form of Rayla, for reasons unrelated to Rayla

[tropicalfelines]

They come flocking to my cauldron crying “spells Claudia ! Please” and do I help them !? Yes indeed 😈🐙

[weebssecretattic]

Since rayla was able to open the gates to ethari's workshop, it proves that ghosts can interact with the physical world of the village. So is there like random stuff floating around silvergrove that the ghosts are holding? Is this considered common in silver Grove?

Like a bottle of moonberry surprise will just randomly start floating and be violently thrown at a tree and shatter and the elves will be like,"Oh that's just Gary, don't mind him, he's still salty about being ghosted."

[raayllum]

just nine days to go

Callum hasn’t been sleeping well after he used dark magic again. Manipulative forces are becoming more potent in his dreams, bringing him back to the very being that Callum rejected: his dark mage self. Callum knew he made his choice, however, in the end… does he really have one?

Man, I love this series and really can’t wait for season 6.
