me, remembering my old "amaya and viren have a lot of similarities, specifically in being both fiercely independent and willing to prioritize the world over their family" parallels post (circa august 2021), a latter facet that 5x08 goes out of its way to show callum being Not That
#5x08#tdp callum#tdp amaya#theme: exchange#the royal family of katolis#captain exchange hostage theory#like viren SAYS he's always done what protects his family but. he hasn't#he really hasn't#and realizing that he hasn't and how he's fucked up is like. the backbone of all his dream visions#bc like. i can't think of a single moment where viren prioritizes his children over his notions of the world / bright future for humanity#and that's kind of the problem y'know?#amaya at least IS doing what janai would want genuinely. there's respect and trust#i'm not at 5x08 yet in my liveblog but mentally. i am always there#cause like. rayla would rather die than be the reason callum did something like this - like Any of this y'know?#but also needs it to be what knocks some sense into her re: sacrifice#if people salt about this i'm literally just putting screencaps from the same episode with similar scenarios side by side

Terry - The Dragon Prince S7 Theories
According to the unofficial TDP wiki Season Seven is about;
"Following Sol Regem’s destructive rampage on Katolis, which saw the death of Viren, a grief-stricken Claudia has been manipulated by Aaravos into freeing him from his prison, against the wishes of her boyfriend Terry."
I think there's a lot there to unpack there. And very important things to unpack for Terry's storyline. I already have a post about what I think will happen with Claudia in the next season, and I think that Terry will be a crucial part of this. So let's talk about him a bit.
I address "a grief-stricken Claudia has been manipulated by Aaravos" in my Claudia post. So let's focus on "against the wishes of her boyfriend Terry"
Claudia might not know that Aaravos was manipulating her, but Terry does. He even warns her. But she's so desperate for direction, so hurt by the loss of her father, that she doesn't see through Aaravos' manipulations and releases him anyway.
Terry had been there for Claudia through thick and thin, and he's always been able to see that no matter what terrible things she's done, she's had a reason. She's done it all for her family.
However dangerous.
However vile.
So I don't think that he'll leave her. Instead, I think that him standing by her is going to be part of what helps her finally choose the right path.
Terry doesn't use her need for direction like other people in her life have. She gives him every chance to, but he stands by her. Not by what he could turn her into. Or what talents of hers he might use. He's there for her, and I think he's going to help her learn to find her own direction and make her own choices. He's going to teach her to tell herself what to do.
This could happen in one of two ways, I think.
Terry will warn Claudia about Aaravos' intentions, continuing to do so until Aaravos begins to view him as a threat and attempts to turn her against Terry. Claudia may be tempted to choose Aaravos, but will ultimately choose Terry and someone who loves her just the way she is. Someone who wants to listen to what she has to say and what she wants to do.
Alternatively, Terry will pull a Soren. Let me explain this a bit more.
Rayla and Callum, even Ezran, have all seem to have given up hope that Claudia can turn good. But Soren hasn't.
I think that a possible storyline of the next season is Terry realizing that Claudia is being led further and further down a dark path, and going for help to lead her away from it. Because remember, he's met Soren and I'm sure he's heard about him too.
In Season Three, Soren helps Ezran, but remains by Viren's side.
I think it's possible that Terry will find our heroes and ask for their help, specifically Soren's, in guiding Claudia back from the brink of darkness. He'll stay by Claudia like he said, but to truly stand by her and try to protect her, he'll have to go behind her back to get help to save her from Aaravos.
After all, Claudia still has people out there who love her for her.
