#rayla’s naruto run

[blxem1lk]

purple girls love to naruto run

[a-very-sparkly-nerd]

I want to say that Callum undoubtedly thinks Rayla is so freaking cool, but that isn't all. He makes it clear that he thinks she's awesome without disregarding any of her other traits. Not once when she puts herself down has he said "But you're ___" (at least that I remember, with the exception of Midnight Desert, which I could argue fits the rule if I wanted to) and that is EXACTLY what Rayla needs because she's never been the cool kid- she's a prodigy, but not cool (the girl Naruto runs and prefers being alone and/or training to hanging out with other kids, for gods' sake). But she's also never been cared for the way Callum does. He also (probably) knows that only results were cared about for Moonshadow elves, never merely efforts, and he always makes sure to compliment her on not only those, but everything because he doesn't just want to make her feel good, he likes making her smile and reminding her that she's so important. He surpasses needs she didn't know she had.

And Callum would expectedly be told he's awesome at stuff, being a prince and people wanting to gain favor (Soren is the exception. Shoutout to my baby boy), but Rayla has never lied to him about what she thinks of him. She's down to earth and she doesn't build him up to be things he's not, instead making him feel as amazing as he deserves about the things he is good at. And her desire to care for him and protect him doesn't come from a sense of duty the way it does from, say, the Crownguard, but from love that Callum never really got because he was always the one protecting Ezran, was distant with Harrow, and doesn't really remember Sarai. Rayla doesn't care about what he lacks, which is what everyone else seemed to care about. Everything she does for him is fueled by love, never duty.

Just- GODS, they're so perfect for each other WHILE simultaneously learning and growing and giving each other grace and I LOVE THEM OKAY-

speaking with Ruvina, which I have not even begun to write

possibly ending up back in the forest of Sylvaire and fighting Arianwen

purposefully planning to take the Last Stand, so they try to level up at least once more (Riz is an extra level, level 14 rogue, level 1 cleric because he had to fight the Court of Stars by himself and killed 8/12)

Mito kisses Shikamaru and tells him she'll only date him when to hits Jounin and he's dumbfounded but 2 weeks later there's a rumor that she's dead until Naruto rushes through the front gates carrying her, somehow alive after being cut by Hidan's scythe.

Mito helping Naruto speak with Kurama and then wandering around in his psyche and finds the Yondaime Hokage, who gives a sheepish wave as she gapes at him

@raayllum had lightly mentioned some brainstorming about the possibility of Aaravos maybe needing Zym for his grand scheme . This would explain the lengthy wait for his plan to unfold since Rayla had mentioned Zym's egg was impossibly rare to come to be.

And to go off of this theory, what if its true.

The celestial elves are all skywing elves and yet they can potentially gain the blessing of the stars and become star blind, seeing and learning all the stars have to offer. Suppose it is only the sky arcanum that has this bridge to the star arcanum. In that case, Zym could potentially be Aaravos' next phase (maybe after Callum or they overlap) if the show's direction is to circle back to its namesake, The Dragon Prince.

But the only puzzling part is why? He doesn't need anyone's help to connect/use star magic. He never lost his arcanum. If he doesn't need Zym why does his plan need centuries to unfold?

Who are his targets? Everyone responsible for Leola's death, right? He took his revenge on Sol Regem who was the witness that damned Leola. I'm still unclear on Aditi's death, but perhaps she was just a necessary removal to keep his plans in motion. Then those left on his hit list are the other startouch elves of the cosmic order? Except the elder celestial elf stated they cant perma die. Except for Leola.

And of course, a startouch elf would know how to kill another startouch elf.

So the bigger question is what is Aaravos' final plan?

Why does his final plan need this long to carry out?

How does he expect to eliminate the cosmic order?

One thought comes to mind for me, and this is where I think he could have been waiting for Zym's birth.

Star Devourer Dragons

Aaravos can control people (with dark magic though) but skywing elves can gain the star's influence. What if Aaravos was waiting for Zym's birth to control him? How? Why Zym and not Avizandum or Zubeia?

This is were I lose the picture until more pieces to this puzzle are revealed in (hopefully) the later seasons.

And here's where I just toss in my own prediction or random guess; tdp crew are anime fans. We especially know this with the Naruto run Rayla had going for a little while.

My addition to @raayllum's thought was rooted from this:

Nine-Tailed Demon Fox's Attack

A vengeful man takes control of The Nine-Tailed Fox and unleashes it on to the Hidden Leaf Village, causing untold death and destruction.

That is were I think the direction of the story could go. Potentially. Maybe.

Thank you for coming to my TED talk and a special thank you to @raayllum so sharing this idea I am still losing sleep over it.

here we are safe.

Rayla: I can Naruto run, but sometimes I feel I can't Naruto stop.

Callum:

Callum: I love you so much.

[hiccupshypotheticalleftsock]

Rayla: it’s not a walk of shame if you naruto run.

[seireasong]

#3 - Rayla’s Project Xadia animations: dash loop. HERE IT IS. Y’all already know. This one has less frames than the Naruto run animation I made a year and a half ago. So it looks less smooth, but is better for overall development. Only six frames here.

[dragonblaggin]

Brb sobbing because he instantly liked her features despite being raised to fear elves and think they were monsters and now they’re in love and he calls her beautiful to her face.

[femslashspuffy]

Why did no one warn me about the naruto running in The Dragon Prince

[weirdponytail]

I totally see MIC!Arya doing this with a jacket spread out behind her, like a corner held in each hand. MIC calls it the ‘Dragon Run’ instead of Naruto Run. 

[sepialunaris]

[the-dragon-prince-backgrounds]

But... I just re-whatched The Dragon Prince season 1 and realize that Rayla actually do the Naruto Run? 😂😂😂😂

PAZZESCO 😂😂

[kuno-chan]

I appreciate that The Dragon Prince has connected assassins and the Naruto run. Now that Rayla is on the scene, assassins do the Naruto run. It’s required.

[rxyllum]

You guys!!!!!

PYRRHA WAS REINCARNATED INTO THE DRAGON PRINCE!!!!!

[ask-rayla-anything]

RAYLA QUICK! GET THE FREE MOONBERRY SURPRISE!

Oh? Well- Thanks for letting me know! I have to get it before Ethari or Runaan hear about it-

*Runs off*
