#Why!!! LEOLA!!!

So Aaravos' backstory...

people are saying they are not sure if they can trust it as Aaravos is a manipulator. Yeah, he is one, but since when as he ever lied. The most he does is he leaves out some details.

He did have a daughter, he did love her, and she was executed for giving magic to humans. Everything he said was true.

Me? Crying? Oh, I’m sorry, it’s just “you’re my daughter” got to me

“They’re all my parents” got to me

“Is that Katolis..?” Got to me

“Daddy I’m scared” got to me

“The castle is just a building, we have to save lives” got to me

“Take care of Hat” got to me

“Take my heart” got to me

IT'S LEOLA !!!

IT WAS LEOLA'S STAR ALL ALONG

[starry-skies-writes]

Imagine we get a scene where Aaravos reaches towards the night sky, towards the brightest star that he can never reach never hold while he stares longingly haha wouldn’t that be so fun—

The worst thing in the world would be if there was a chance to bring Leola back and I'm sure there isn't but if there WAS and she sees Aaravos again but we get a Viren fever dream parallel where she sees what he's become/what he's done and runs away crying and screaming

[lawchan89]

A lot of you just instantly forgot that Aaravos is a master manipulator and blindly believe that he told Claudia the whole truth and nothing but the truth huh

The Jupiter Chorale from The Planets Suite makes me think of them, so I had to do something about that. Listened to A BUNCH of different versions as I worked on it.

There's a lot of ways to go with interpenetration here, but I mostly went with self indulgent "give back baby"

(Otherwise....I guess Aaravos doesn't NEED to sleep, but when he does, he dreams about Leola. So I guess post-hissy fit about noticing Zym's egg for the first time???)

HELLO??? THE S7 SNEAK PEAK COMING OUTA BLOODY NO WHERE?? AND THE RELEASE DATE???

Ain’t no way she’s complaining that it’s bright when she’s staring into the sun💀🙏🏻 (sorry for the lag at the first part of the vid)

Imagine being a parent, and watching your child play outside with her friend. You turn away for just a moment, and suddenly her friend is calling out for help. You go to see what the matter is, and the friend explains your child was taken away. You track them down, and suddenly they are deemed worthy of being put to death.

You try your hardest to save them, even begging to be killed in their place, but the authority is unmoved. Your child is going to die.

The most you can do is reassure them that they'll be okay, even if you know it's a lie, and put on a brave face as they are killed in front of you.

Your child...taken from you in a single moment...for a petty reason.

Leola has less than 5 minutes of screen time but has been haunting this narrative for six entire seasons. I'm going to have to rewatch to see the full affect. A + narrative haunting and A+ foreshadowing.

Damn this foreshadowing paid off!

(in the most intensely painful way)

[babymillennial]

At the risk of setting off a bomb in the Aaravos and Leola fandoms, I do wonder if we ever talk about how--if Aaravos's description of his daughter is accurate--she would probably hate what he's become in her absence.

Tell me why i’m looking through my old school stuff and i find this drawing in my planner from SEPTEMBER 2023 and i’m LITERALLY shitting myself because look

Someone kill me now—

[starry-skies-writes]

Do you guys think that when Leola first died, Aaravos filled at least a few books with his memories of her so that he wouldn’t forget her even if millennia passed

(He didn’t have to before of course, since they were supposed to have a whole life together)

(And now he can’t lose her in more ways than one)
