Here we see Rayla at age 8 thinking it’s her fault and weakness that she couldn’t defeat an evil adult sorceress single handedly, to being ‘too weak’ to be an assassin, routinely de-valuing herself unprompted (after all, why can’t she and the egg both matter?) and putting all the blame when things go wrong on her shoulders, believing that Callum and Ezran will be just fine in the mission without her, that she always expected to lose Callum someday and just didn’t want it to be “like this,” believing she’s fully deserving of her banishment and that there’s something fundamentally wrong with her, that her guilt over a mistake she didn’t even make is driving her to stay at the Spire to die, and that after spending a whole comic having nightmares about Viren hurting Callum, she feels it’s her responsibility to take down Viren, because...

and she can’t let that happen again.

#insert 'i don't have reading comprehension' tiktok #raylangst #rayla Cannot succeed in her mission to kill viren bc she has to learn she Can't do things alone yes #but mostly she has to learn that she has value even when she messes up! that she has worth as a person #also get her in grief counselling good god #rayla feeling like Shit almost Immediately every single time after the boys compliment her #cal: ur brave! rayla: no i was afraid fo things and that's Shameful #ez: ur awesome at everything! ray: right up until the moment it really matters then i always fail #cal: rayla is kind and good fearless fast and strong rayla: aww - wait ur writing a letter to ur dad? fuck :(#tag ramble #long post
