Viravos is so.

I feel like ive skipped a few stages of... something. Because whenever i look at viravos art, ESPECIALLY ones that like, completely nail Aaravos and his malicious trickster god nature, it evokes this... lowkey genuinely profound feeling in me.

It makes me feel like im a thousand years into the future and theyre being treated like Real myths. Like im part of a world where people will read the old texts the same way people read shit like the Prose + Poetic Eddas and start drawing fanart for like... the Actual Gods and Historical Figures, with an air of tentative respect but still a healthy appreciation for the inherently horny nature of him and Viren's relationship. Because everything is going to become history eventually and they are simply made to be remembered for the tragedy and the theatricality of what they are. Do i make sense?

Everything we've heard and seen about Aaravos up to this point paints him as... Such a Figure. Hes not a character hes a figure hes a symbol he is a MYTHIC GOD on par with the likes of Loki and Hermes and Sun Wukong and Pan, yet with this added note of real ill-will--he feels like he was created by a people to conceptualize and personify the cruel and unfortunate coincidences of the world, the sour ironys and examples of tragic hubris in life.

Hes egotistical and megalomaniacal and domineering and playful and aloof and dangerous and what are you supposed to feel when someone like that makes a game of wrapping humans like Viren around his little finger. Do you understand me? Does anyone hear me?

#tdp spoilers #tdpkin #tdp aaravos #tdp viren #the dragon prince #tdp #all lot of the recent art has seriously been hitting me somewhere special #but always If and Only if the way Aaravos is drawn and posed in a way that implies hes a dom #something about his appearance...he is so so pretty. so so sub-able on a material level. but when people draw him like a dom despite it #it unlocks something. something Big. like pandoras box big. its profound To Me #but maybe im just a gay kinnie i dont know #hes manipulative and its obvious that he is but hes just so compelling that it makes one willing to listen anyway #its about putting on wax wings and flying right up to the clouds to look at the sun up close. to let it kaleidoscope your vision #even though you can feel the drip drip drip of your safety net falling away from you
