so, as far as I understood, Rayla's parents chose to... go? I think they don't need to be freed, at least. Runaan is out, Aaravos is out. Two out of three quasar diamonds are used. Which leaves us with one. And we just so happen to have one more person in need of de-coining.

... If Rayla hasn't forgotten about him and if the underground laboratory is still holding.

now with the context. its like he went at his arm like a corn on the cob in the straight line style. how was this so fresh when he told Viren no. ig he quit Recently but Hello. it took a unicorn map for him to be like maybe this is Bad

you should have just given Viren the staff man you are JUDGY considering your habits

Ok so I'm saying this as a Viravos shipper myself, I think you're using the term queerbaiting too lightly. Yes, the writers are aware of the ship but they have never once acknowledged it outside of a couple of very SFW fanarts. I don't know if I'd consider it queerbaiting when most of us ship them because of what we interpret as sexual tension. I mean, considering this is a show aimed at kids I sincerely doubt the writers sat down and said "ok, how can we give Viren and Aaravos sexual tension?". The people involved in the show have done nothing to make us believe Viravos will be canon.

I honestly think it's more likely we'll get Viren x Kppar or just a little confirmation that Viren is queer. Especially because they're villains and TDP already faced backlash for the Queens of Duren, so they seem to be focusing more on positive rep now with Janaya and Ruthari.

If this wasn't a kids show then I would be more inclined to call it baiting, but they haven't given us much reason to think they'll make it canon.

Just realized something about what they will do with Viravos: No matter what the writers chose, they can’t win.

If they completely let it stay subtext and not confirm it they queerbait.

If they put in a small confirmation only adults will catch aka both of them leaving the tent where one of them sleeps to different times, subtly adjusting their clothes its not open enough and hiding queer representation.

And if they do confirm it and have them kiss on screen or something it is bad queer rep because they are both villains and their relationship is not healthy. Now, I personally don’t think it should be forbidden to show unhealthy queer relationships between bad people, as long as there are healthy, good relationships in the series too and its not portrayed as them being evil because they are queer, and there was indeed a very prominent very abusive queer ship confirmed in another show, though there neither the writers nor most of the fandom acknowledged how abusive it was, while here the writers seem to be aware of it. I just don’t think the purity kiddos will be able to grasp the difference and will whine about queer people being portrayed as evil or something.

I honestly wonder why the writers manovered themselves in such a dangerous sitation. I love Virens and Aaravos sexually charged interactions, but why would they put something like this in there when they can’t win with it?

so Kpp'ar has got to be 300+ years old/from before Aaravos was imprisoned because he 1. has that self eating thing to be able to extend his life for an indefinite amount of time and 2. Aaravos knew that name. he KNEW it
