Runaan sneezes like a kitten. When Ethari sneezes, all the walls in the treehouse crack

Change my mind

[bat-snake]

HC about Aaravos being a "hair tie dad" where he just. Always had some kind of hair tie on hand in some way or another.

And sometimes he'll still find some of Leola's hairbands in strange places, ~two thousand years later, in the prison. Like pulling back a book he hasn't read in a while and a hair tie falls out of it. So there's a combined heartache along with a confused "how did that get there???"

He finds one of the hair ties from when Leola was a baby and somehow that one manages to only be confusing because it's in an inconceivably odd place. I'm not sure what it is at the moment, but it's only weird because there's at least a chance that Leola had been using a hair tie as a book mark the last time it was touched.

Ethari grew out his hair because he looks in the mirror and closes his eyes, imagining the soft strands that drape over his neck to be Runaan's, his eyes already wet with tears. If he cut his hair, it would be cutting the connection between Runaan and himself.

Thinking that Viren had to attend Harrow and Sarai's marriage while his own had just been blown apart

Whatever happens, do NOT think of him trying to celebrate with his friends but coming back to his High mage office and drinking or dark-magic injecting himself all night long, thinking he had shut the door but little Soren and Claudia do get a peek despite Peres's watch

Soren turns away because he knows Viren will reject him but Claudia rushes in to take care of him because who else will now that mom left

Years later, on Callum's 16's birthday, Soren checks his office and sees the recently new High mage Callum sleeping at his desk with empty booze bottles around him -because Rayla left him on that day a year ago and he really can't celebrate.

Soren enters the office and carries Callum in bed.

The next year (s4e1) he is the one organising Callum's surprise birthday party.

💘 for the heart asks?

for sorvus!

💘: who developed a crush on the other first?

okokok this one I've thought about and it's not super simple

corvus realized that he had feelings first, like HE had the earlier "Oh. Oh." moment. (this probably being between arcs 1 and 2 imo) but for soren it was an ache. he didn't know when/why it started or what it was, but he had felt this gaping hole in his chest ever since he freed corvus during the fight with pyrrah in 2x07. it had been there for what felt like eternity, and it only grew every time he saw or thought of corvus. to me, i think it "clicked" for him in the great bookery after corvus fell, and he didn't know if he'd be alive. that's when he knew. (and why he was so eager to see him in 6x02)

One thing Rayla didn't tell Callum was about elves and their horns.

Callum touched her horns once. They always fascinated him so he couldn't resist. Rayla's cheeks were flushed, but she didn't protest. That's why Callum never thought it was weird to occasionally touch her horns that made her so beautiful.

Once, when Rayla was visiting her family, Callum lightly ran his fingers over one of her horns. He was already doing it automatically, but the feeling of joy remained.

Rayla's parents, all four of them, almost lost their temper at the scene.

It was only then that Rayla revealed to Callum that only lifelong partners ever touch their loved one's horns.

So here is my personal, very, very, sad, emotional headcanon: Ethari has been writing letters to Rayla every three months, pouring out all his heart, mind, soul, and love into every word over the past two years due to the ghosting. But while writing them, he can't stop crying, feeling all his guilt and regret consume him, with a few tears falling onto every letter he writes. Saying that he's never stopped fighting for her and will continue to fight her, defending her name and honor, how he hasn't forgiven himself since that day. Telling her everything that's happened, what he's been up to, the obstacles he's faced, etc. But at the end of every letter, wanting Rayla to know just how deeply sorry he is, how much he truly loves her, that he's so proud of her, how he misses her so dearly every day, and that he hasn't stopped fighting for her and he never will.

And finally, ending every letter with "no matter what anyone says, always know that my love will be with you even when the moon is not. I love you, my little moonberry. And until the day we are reunited, I hope that wherever you are, my little moonberry, may the moon guide you, protect you, and keep you safe, forever and always. Know that you are worth it to me, and I will never stop fighting for you. Until then, sincerely, with all my love, your devoted, loving father, Ethari."

Help, I made myself cry of heartbreak😢😭

So he's retired military, right?

I mean, this guy goes into battle armed with pastries and a rolling pin, and kicks supercharged asses. He must have been the biggest badass west of the border in his time. If this man didn't raise an orphaned Sarai and Amaya, he at least trained them. After the girls grew big and strong enough to take his place, he retired to focus on his passion; baking. As princess, Sarai got him appointed to the palace (free jelly tarts!) and the rest is history.

Historia Viventem

[jupiter-dragonsong]

Thinking obsessively about what it’s gonna be like if/when Harrow gets back.

Imagine you’ve been trapped in the form of your dead pet for almost ten years. You come back home— except your house is burned down, hundreds of years of your family’s history are ashes now and you weren’t there. Everything that belonged to your wife is gone.

You come back (to the place built over your) home and to your son, who was ten years old when you last saw him and is now an adult leading a government. He’s so serious now. You remember him stealing sweets from the kitchen and now he’s lead battles. You’ve missed all of his teenage years.

Also, he’s best friends- blood brothers, really- with a dragon. A dragon who’s the spitting image of your wife’s murderer, whose father was the closest thing you had to a mortal enemy. And here they are, chatting and eating jelly tarts and ruling alongside each other and acting for all the world like siblings. Nobody sees anything strange about this.

Last time you saw your stepson he was an awkward teenager with low self-esteem and a schoolboy crush on his friend. Now he has been through hell and back, achieved feats never thought possible to humans, and committed unspeakable acts for those he loves. He’s also married to one of the assassins sent to kill you. Your entire life you’ve been taught that elves were monsters and now you have one as a daughter-in-law. But she’s also a really nice girl? You’re actually really glad he found someone like her. You weren’t there to give him advice. You weren’t there to see them married. (It would be interesting if Harrow finds out he’s going to be a grandparent… @tategaminu) You also have to see the leader of elven assassins at family functions now. Which is awkward but he seems to really care about your sons now?

Your sister-in-law is also married to an elf. A elf queen, actually. One she’d been fighting against for years before… everything. She really, really hated elves back in the day. Now she’s married to one. Whiplash.

Your best friend is dead. He went directly against your orders and that is why you are here. He tried to have your sons killed. He took over your kingdom. He awoke ancient evils. The man you knew was gone long before he died but you can’t stop yourself from mourning. His sweet, quirky daughter has gone down paths darker than you thought were possible. His son, among the most loyal of your guards, has grown out of being a bully and is now a devoted friend to your children.

Everything has changed. The world you knew, the family you knew, is completely unrecognizable. And yet… the cycle of hate is broken, just like you always wished it would be. Even if it’s going to be hard for you, this is what you wanted for your kids. A world with open borders, ruled by a narrative of love.

Also the world is ending really soon! You are finally there for your family again and they are living with the threat of death looming over their heads. You have returned to your kingdom and it may soon be destroyed. This is not what you wanted for them.

Someone write something please.

For the record, you can pry my “Sarai used to be in the Crownguard before she married Harrow” headcanon from my cold, dead hands

Amaya trained the Standing Battalion and Sarai trained the Crownguard, and their ability to work together is why Katolis had the strongest fighting force in the Pentarchy

You can also pry “Sarai and Soren were insanely close before her death” from my cold, dead hands. Maybe not even then, because I’m gripping this idea tightly, even in death

Sarai helped Soren and his family manage his illness because of her experience with Damian. And Soren was just so excited that the Head Crownguard was hanging out with him! Even when he was at his worst, he’d always perk up if he could see Sarai train the soldiers from his bedroom window, or regale him with stories of legendary battles at his bedside

After Soren got better and Sarai left the Crownguard to become Princess of Katolis, she offered to show him the basics of swordplay and strategy to help Soren with all of his pent-up energy. Even though he wouldn’t be interested in poetry until years later, Soren was introduced to the concept through Sarai, who’d recite some of Damian’s old work for him during their time together. Sarai had essentially become one of Soren’s constants after his family fell apart with Lissa leaving, Viren growing cold, and Claudia throwing herself into magic

At least until she died, heroically saving his dad

[bat-snake]

In the theory that Leola is Autistic because Aaravos is also Autistic...

I present my theory that his posture of folding his hands behind his back is just his adjustment from "dinosaur hands" (drake hands???) as a child (and possibly part of the hypermobility I think he has - see the ridiculous Horse Lounging). Plus it makes him look more dignified and controlled. And so I present...

Rayla’s Concerns, part 1!

Ik tdp fans are frothing at the mouth abt the possibility of Rayla and Callum having kids in the future but I wondered what she’d actually feel when that time came, so this is that

[thatdudewhoshere]

Hear me out, Corvus has a box of random shiny things he's found throughout the years. No one knows about his trinket stash. That is until Soren discovers it. He tells no one but has since brought Corvus every shiny trinket and nicknack that he thinks Corvus would like or that reminds him of him. Corvus is now in need of another box for his trinkets. Soren hand makes him another box.

Thank you, Good day.

Okay but can you imagine if one day Rayla catches a thief or something at the castle because she's experienced at breaking in and in that awkward silence in the conversation Ezran just goes, "Rayla, would you like a job?"

And Rayla ends up as counter security by repeatedly breaking into and out of the castle and finding weak points, and is halfway to a spymaster, and she has a life direction to go in and can use her assassin training to not kill people, and now she has an official position in the court but by the nature of her job it's better if people don't know about it.

People who don't know: Rayla is in the High Council because she's an elven diplomat

People who think they know: Rayla is in the High Council because she's the High Mage's girlfriend

People who actually know: Rayla is the castle rat

[0multifandomweirdo0]

Rayla watches Callum sleep in the night, Callum watches Rayla in the morning

You can't tell me otherwise
