#tdp music

noticed something cute with the music

when Janai dismounts at the spot where she's planning to propose, the music shifts to something soft and feelsy

and it has a vibe to it that made me go back and listen to the music in Rayla's ritual pool flashback

the song that plays there is Rayla's theme song, but there's a nice long leadup for Ruthari that uses what sounds like a cello maybe, something stringed anyway, and it plays these long, soft, contemplative notes that set the scene as being full of soft feelings

this scene with Janai and Amaya has the same kind of slow gentle notes, and gives us a similar but not identical tune (aka not Rayla's), but it's played on a brass instrument

the way both couples get similar feelsy tunes feels important, as well as the fact that they each get them played on different instruments for their different respective vibes

HMMM and both times the scene sequence had a kiss, is this like. kiss music. I guess I'll have to listen real hard in future episodes and see!

the music on this show, amirite 😍

I feel like we, as a fandom, don't talk about how incredible the soundtrack for The Dragon Prince is

hey guys i noticed something a few weeks ago and i just feel the need to share it bc as a music nerd, it HITS 😭

so everybody knows the melody that plays during the rayllum moment in s3 on the big antler, (yk “because shes rayla”) and most people see it as “rayllum’s theme” and while it kinda is?? it also isnt 🧐

technically, its only rayla’s theme. i mean, theres a reason why you hear the full thing during “silvergrove” because its hers!!

in season 1, you can hear it when rayla let Marcos live in ep 1, and you can briefly hear it when she goes sit down on that cliff to try to cut her ribbon off. (theres more but its what i remember)

AND callum has his own theme too!! you can hear it when he hugs harrow for the last time in s1, and of course when he saves rayla from falling in s3 (again, theres probably more but those are the ones i remember)

sometimes both melodies play when either rayla or callum does something that impacts their character, like rayla letting marcos go, or callum getting his wings. its a melody that resembles them truly for what they are

in “because shes rayla”, it’s rayla’s theme playing because callum is describing rayla on who she is, on why she saved nyx despite the fact she betrayed them and stole zym, and its because shes rayla

and season 3 isnt the last you hear of both themes

in ep 1 of s4, when callum is outside the balcony, HIS theme is playing, but when he looks up to the moon thinking of rayla, it switches and its HER theme that plays!! very sadly and minor i might add (and that whole scene is what made me notice in the first place…. and cry too 😢)

plus you can also hear her theme play when she comes back!!

basically what im trying to get at here, is that frederik is a muscial genius who isnt appreciated enough of his hard work 🫡

honestly one of my speculations for s6 is that when (or if 😰) rayllum reconciled fully ( as in back to their canon ways ) we get to hear a mix of both melodies playing as a musical way of saying that they really are, stronger together 🤗 and i really hope that happens because both of their songs are SO beautiful and impactful and it what makes this show so so magical 🥹

the differense in morality of the fictional men i'm currently obsessed with is so funny. like you've got

jonathan archivist sims - morally gray, made some mistakes, done some fucked up shit, but has good intentions and is fundementally a good person

hiccup - just the goodest boy. his media doesn't allow him to kill people (directly, he's blown up A LOT of ships)

callum tdp - the edgier hiccup. boy has he got some issues, but he's still the sweetest boy

and then there's literal warcriminal odysseus - killed so many people, killed A BABY, tortured a god (deserved)

You had stopped and tilted your head I still ponder what it meant

[its-kapi-wara]

"My grandfather was a fire and brimstone preacher"

"But there are things that the homilies and hymns won't teach ya"

"My mother was a genius"

"My father commanded respect"

"When they died they left no instructions"

"Just a legacy to protect"

"Death doesn't discriminate

Between the sinners and the saints

It takes and it takes and it takes

And we keep living anyway"
