The Mystery of Aaravos and my personal problem with it.

This is going to be very long so hold on tight

Don't get me wrong, I love this show. I have little drawings of the characters in my notebooks and my friend and me are always talking about what's going to happen in the next season. The characters are so funny and cool, the story line is very interesting and it's good to binge with friends or family.

This show, while being very visually pleasing and having a thought-provoking story, is not exactly written very well. I will say it plainly, it is rather bland and repetitive.

Let's compare it to a show like House M.D. While House M.D. is not a kid's show and is repetitive on purpose, but does follow a very similar writing scheme. Unlike The Dragon Prince, it shows a different plot every episode and has an overarching plot every season. However, it focuses on one special person (wink wink nudge nudge Dr. House) to be the plot driver, the fan favorite, and universally untouchable character that everything revolves around. Who does that remind you of? Aaravos. Maybe even Viren and Callum, though they're regular antagonist-protagonist characters and are not as neutral and protected as Aaravos is. Aaravos is the only thing keeping this show alive. Oh, maybe Terry? Rayla and Callum? Runaan and Ethari's reunion? What about them? ALL of this relies on Aaravos. Much like Dr. House, his actions and his words are what drive the plot, and he doesn't need to do anything but lift a finger. I would be sitting on the edge of my seat because it's so mysterious and I am actually interested in Aaravos's character and his actions. Now that I know too much about him it's bland to me. I know WHY he's leaving the world in shambles, I know WHY he wants to control Callum. This trope only really works if it's a character made important earlier (e.g. if Aaravos was the protagonist) and the corruption arc is the actual plot. The least that could have been done was reveal the fact that Leola was his daughter and that she died throughout the season and make season 6 ABOUT Leola. Instead it was revealed to me in a rush and there's so much in the blue that should have been told to us before. This is like House M.D. where so much information is revealed all at once that the mysterious and powerful Gregory House kind of becomes this creepy and irresponsible Vicodin addict. Long story short, Aaravos was interesting and the show would be great if he was still interesting. In fact there was a better way to reveal his motives and he would still be interesting.

This obviously is made for kids. I will not forget that. However, I was nine when this show first aired. I still thought it was kind of repetitive. Let's compare it to another show I watched when I was nine! Avatar: The Last Airbender. I know, it gets compared a lot, but that's why this is important. ATLA and TDP go hand in hand. You can't not relate them to each other if you've watched both. Hell, they have some of the same writers and voice actors! But TDP's similarities to ATLA currently aren't what needs to be similar. Firstly, TDP likes to make references to ATLA a lot. Callum is a very big example, as the writers take him as an opportunity to reference Sokka. Aaron Ehasz obviously wants to make TDP as similar as possible to ATLA as he can without making it look like it. What he NEEDS to do to make it similar is to stop making references and using the same sort of plot (guy is trapped in a bubble/prison and causes havoc when he gets out) and start using what is GOOD about the show's writing. ATLA has amazing filler episodes. The Ember Island play episode, the beach party episode, the Tales of Ba Sing Se episode. Along with so many others, it connects a lighthearted break from the intense plot while also adding to it and the show's lore. TDP does none of this. No, really. They have no filler episodes. It is all just plot straight to your face. It doesn't take a break and it feels jarring to watch.

Another thing ATLA does well is it builds up relationships instead of shoving them in your face. Sure, Zuko and Mai were kind of unexpected, but they eventually break up and then work up to becoming a couple again. Even if they were sudden, they made sense. Both emo nobles somehow related to Azula, who were never really loved or accepted. Now Aang and Katara are a perfect example of a well-written young couple (we will forget that Aang ended up abusing her when they got married). They became friends, had moments with a lot of romantic tension that was necessary (like the secret tunnel episode where they almost kissed), and they also had bumpy ends that led to them having a stronger romantic bond. Besides that, I couldn't see them as friends at all. They were meant and set up to be a couple. Meanwhile, with Rayla and Callum, making them a couple was not necessary. Sure, I think it's very cute, but the whole story would be the same without them becoming a couple. Let's plug them into the whole Katara and Aang thing. Did they become friends? Yes. Did they have moments of romantic tension when it was necessary? No (and this is mainly moments in season 3) and they had no drive to the episode's and story's plot. The only scene where this was applicable was the dancing to get into the silvergrove scene and it didn't have to be romantic. Did they have bumpy ends? Yes. Did this end up giving them a stronger bond? No, when Rayla left him for two years it only weakened both Callum's and Rayla's trust. They are probably going to end up hurting each other. When I saw the episode where they first kissed I was so confused. I thought they might have been awkward and that in the oasis Callum was being a good friend and comforting her. Kissing her was fanservice and had no actual point of being there. The scene where Rayla and Callum are talking about how their love is forbidden and what the dragon queen will think, that is applicable as friendship as it is strange even to be friends with the other race. It became more important in arc 2 but arc 2 could have had the same point if it was about Rayla and Callum's friendship. Now, Terry and Claudia. They give me mixed messages. They're cute, but how did they even meet? I have so many unanswered questions. The only couples that makes sense are unfortunately the adults. Viren and Aaravos, while not canonically a couple, very obviously have romantic subtext that adds to Aaravos's eerie effect on people. Sarai and Harrow's relationship actively effected Callum's childhood and what he grew up to be. Runaan and Ethari are the same for Rayla.

Overall, I love The Dragon Prince. It's so silly and I like to theorize and make memes about the characters. However, it is not my favorite piece of media and it is not meant for deep thinking like other kid's shows are.

Dr. Gregory House x Master Piandao

I have spoken!

For real tho I can see this working.

Both are masters of their craft with bisexual energy.

House would nerd out on all the swordamanship.

Piandao would appreciate House's artistic sensibilities and musical side.

There is so much potential.

Having seen war and death, Piandao would understand House's pain and how it affects him.

Kataang Week - Day 8

Costume Party - AO3 | FF

"Hey guys, there's a costume party! We're invited! Get ready. It starts at 6 o'candle. You get to accompany... Detective Wang Fire." At this declaration, he whipped his fake beard and detective hat out from behind his back. Katara groaned. Toph shrugged. "I'll be the Blind Bandit. I'm sure my belt is here somewhere." Katara and Aang glanced at each other. This would be the first party they'd be attending together as a couple so they didn't want to miss it, but two hours was definitely short notice. "Oh, I've got an idea for me! Be right back!" Katara cried as she hopped up and ran into.. Aang's room.

🎧🎧🎧🎧🎧🎧🎧🎧🎧!

Send me a 🎧 and I will put my music on shuffle and give you a song and my favourite lyric from it

Aha, I see you are playing me at my own game!

What you want from a devil like me, devil like me? You see the devil don't mean to be evil He just regrettably forgets to exceed expectation

These veins of mine are now some sort of fuse And when they light up and my mind blows up my heart is amused So, this heart of mine is just some sort of map That doesn't care at all or worry about where the hell you're at But you're right there

(Did we really expect a Coheed song not to show up at some point?)

Come on! It's just the hurt I'm looking for I don't wanna live no more You've got the gun, I've got the bullets Don't wanna live no more Oh baby, be my lover, go on and pull that trigger!

She gave her heart to a falling star When news filtered through of his tragedy All the walls went up

(I wanted to post the lyrics to the entire song but I held back aha)

I'm just a normal boy That sank when I fell overboard My ship would leave the country But I'd rather swim ashore

Without a life vest, I'd be stuck again Wish I was much more masculine Maybe then I could learn to swim Like (14 miles away)

Now floating up and down I spin, colliding into sound Like whales beneath me diving down I'm sinking to the bottom of my- Everything that freaks me out The lighthouse beam has just run out I'm cold as cold as cold can be, be

I want to swim away but don't know how Sometimes it feels just like I'm falling in the ocean Let the waves up take me down Let the hurricane set in motion, yeah Let the rain of what I feel right now, come down Let the rain come down

Father your honor, may I explain? My brain has claimed its glory over me I've a good heart albeit insane Condemn him to the infirmary

All mine towers crumble down the flowers gasping under rubble Shrieking in the hall of lull, thy genius saves a thirst for trouble

Well 13524 Park and East Boulevard Your last stroll down the block was in the trunk of a car I must admit that we never thought you'd go this far Dear Dominique well I hope you're feeling better You look so cute writing out your own death letter Well now there's no one to watch your TV

Well there's a house on the block that's empty now that Dominique's gone

Hey, kid, there's no shame Or reason to doubt, for crying out loud Run like they're out for first blood When you're left with zero, beautiful losers, you're my hero

Walked into our world and made Horrible sounds I can still hear them today (Strangely they seem) Beautiful now Though they outlast my love

Still each time I always meant Every word, every one Though in time they finally bent Every word, every one, every word
