*Runaan finds Callum staring at the stars one night*

Runaan: If you're trying to understand the star arcanum, don't bother. Not even the greatest of elven mages could do it, let alone you.

Callum, without skipping a beat: It's the fourteenth anniversary of my Dad's death today. We used to love stargazing together when I was small.

Runaan:

[no-cinnamon-for-synonym]

I want to see Runaan's crop top neckline ripping down the middle of the chest as he puts it on because he's too broad

[violetwolfraven]

Everybody keeps being like excited to see Callum trying to win Runaan over and meanwhile I’m just like

I want to see Runaan meet Ezran.

This is a child he signed up to help kill two years ago, and I imagine assassin man is going to have to go through an “oh shit, this kid is like. a really good kid. and if i had killed him peace between katolis and xadia probably never would have happened.” and try to figure out how to apologize.

And meanwhile Ezran is going to have to figure out if his “everyone deserves a chance to choose a different path” philosophy extends to the man who killed his father.

While his home is literally in ashes from Sol Regem’s attack.

Like yes I want to watch Callum be a dork around his girlfriend’s dad, but tbh I’m more curious about how they’re going to handle the reality that Runaan very much did kill Harrow. Like that is definitely a thing he did.

[raayllum]

thinking about how the white streak his corrupted self has in 6x05 is different than the one Callum ends up with. The one in 7x05 seems to be modelled more after what he would've heard Ezran describe or be prone to picture on Claudia:

If you love them... Rayla, Ezran, all of them, you'll do anything to save them. Even if you have to sacrifice your sense of right and wrong. If you love her, you'll be the you who can save her.

And to Callum, this means sacrificing a form of his relationship with Rayla ("I can't. Don't you get it? Rayla loves me, this version of me. She believes in me") and by proxy a life together by sacrificing himself, and doing it alone; lifting the burden off her shoulders by getting Runaan to do it instead. What he found instead was a Rayla willing to work to save his life (her initial protests) and to trust and work in tandem with him: even in this, he wasn't alone, even if it would hurt both of them so incredibly much ("we will..."). He can do this, and she can know he would do this, and he's still and will always be Her Heart.

However, the second significant harm was witnessed and Callum needed help, Rayla abandoned Runaan's bow and ran to him, despite the fact the spell or conflict wasn't resolved or over.

Ezran even recognizes how: "We were ready to sacrifice it all. Everything. You and me, Callum, Rayla... we almost gave up everything we are." (And I'll have a more in depth meta about Callum and whether that's true / his sense of identity as of S7 once I've processed more of it, because jc.) And what he received on the other side of it was veritable proof that they are together in all things (even if it wasn't in the way we quite expected), that she trusts him unconditionally and will always have his back, and that he doesn't have to worry about becoming someone she doesn't love or recognize, because that's not possible.

She loves every part of him, even the part(s) he hates and has grown to accept will always be a permanent part of him.

i very much want it to be that the reason rayla won't kill callum is because, for once, she chooses to be selfish.

we know that in general callum has a tendency to sacrifice the greater good for his loved ones and rayla has a tendency to sacrifice herself for the greater good, but i think that extends to her loved ones (she knew how bad leaving would hurt callum [and even though her reasoning is to keep him safe, it was also a general "i need to rid the world of this evil" deal]).

killing callum would mean sacrificing something that means even more to her than herself for the sake of the world. chances are she won't, and i want that to be because of the fact that she chooses to have callum in her life (or at least for him not die by her hand), fate of the world be DAMMED.

Footsteps - A TDP Theory

Claudia has long followed in her father's footsteps. Viren taught her everything, and she became his shadow.

This was ultimately her downfall. he led her down a dark and terrible path. But maybe... it will be her redemption as well.

Because what did Viren do in his final moments? He found himself, he opened his eyes, and he did the right thing. (Hopefully Claudia's story doesn't end as tragically).

So I think that come Season Seven Claudia will once again follow in her father's footsteps and do the right thing.

[sentimentallyannoying]

can’t wait to see Soren go on a mission to rescue Corvus next season and then realize along the way he wants to be more than bros

[bat-snake]

OKAY BUT THINKING ABOUT THIS

Obviously, finding out Aaravos is out right away. Maybe everyone meets up with Terry and he tells them about Leola.

After much frustration, they somehow come to the conclusion to finally find out where the Key wants to go (which, of course, the book, which is probably in Aaravos' home still).

Someone figured out that the Key wants to go to Ocean Point (which, with it being marked by a star...yeah)

So as for my thoughts as a path for what will be in S7

So basically "Ruthari Reunion is on the way to figuring out wtf is up with the Key of Aaravos and how we can use it as a solution to our problem"

Human Kingdom half might be a bit rough though.

But just. Callum and Rayla being in a "We have to go through all of this AGAIN???" fugue state. Plus "Hey Rayla were we swimming among a young child's bones a few weeks ago 😰???"

Some predictions for S7

It seems some people are concerned about Rayla and Callum being separated for half the season when I honestly don't think that will be the case. They have never been separated more than two episodes, you could say "well it could happen now!" but I doubt they would do that in the same season we will fully see them together for the first time.

Now some proof or my own guesses to favour this:

In this screenshot Rayla isn't with Callum, she could be out of frame but I don't think so.

I'm guessing he went ahead since maybe Rayla's wings weren't working anymore (they said they didnt't last forever if I remember correctly)

Look how sad he looks, he has no gf to cheer him up over Katolis' destruction.

Now, we see Rayla and Ronaldo standing up in front of the Banterlodge, why are they here? I think Callum told them to meet there since it's a place both him and Rayla know.

Why is she in attack mode?

Looking at the trees it seems Ezran, Aanya and the animals seem to be around the banterlodge. Maybe Rayla sees the katolians coming or Ezran asking Corvus and Soren to arrest Raul and she gets defensive ofc, tho it doesn't seem to be an overly agressive stance.

We have confirmation that Callum and Ezran will have a conflict and Ezran is gonna be mad about Runaan, so maybe Callum defends Runaan here and confesses that he is the one who fred him, making the brothers fight. An upset Callum then leaves with Rancher and Rayla.

My guesses are, Callum and Rayla separate in episode 1 and reunite in late episode 2 or early episode 3 (they tend to "meet" in the second episode lol) maybe ep 2 ends with them meeting and the cliffhanger of Ezran finding out about Ronald.

Callum, Rayla and Richard arrive at the Silvergroove (perhaps is on episode 3 to parallel season 3) we get the Ruthari reunion and Rayla's trial in the same episode, a confirmed to be a very emotional episode.

The place Rayla is having her trial on seems to be the lottus pond thing, we only see her, The Keeper (I didn't know moonshadows could have beards okay dude) and the ghosts of the deceased assassins. I'm guessing she will have to be forgiven by them to be accepted back on The Silvergroove and she will need a lot of emotional support, I don't see why Callum wouldn't be there since he was there when she found out about her ghosting so he being there when she gets unghosted makes all the sense.

Callum, Stella and the other ones are out of frame probably watching this, unless this is another place where they aren't allowed.

I wouldn't be suprised if Rayla doesn't want to go with the trial at all but we get a little callback to this with Callum saying something similar, maybe even more agressive this time.

Now onto the next clue, this oopsie leaked scene by the animation company:

Stella jugglinga adoraburrs! look how cute!

I'm fully convinced this is a rayllum scene, it screams romance with the flowers and singing baitlings "oh it could be ruthari!" yeah? maybe? but let's look at the clues shall we:

Stella is there, Stella is always with Rayla

Callum and Rayla love adoraburrs

Sneezles is there, Sneezles is always with Callum

There are two lovebirds and Rayllum tends to attract animals (very disney princess/prince if you ask me)

The baitlings are singing, screams Rayllum corniness (kiss the girl!)

Rayla and Callum have something going on with boats

Maybe Callum and Rayla decided to take the rest of the baitlings with them to the Silvergroove (for some reason)

Maybe this scene isn't before the mid season at all and it's at the end! but for now I choose to believe it's kind of the calm before the storm scene. Maybe Rayla and Callum are celebrating her unghosting, before Aaravos starts fcking shit up and they have to leave and go back to Ezran. I don't think this will happen in the way to The Silvergroove because 1) third wheeling Runaan would be uncomfortable and I don't think Callum would prepare this at all in the way unless he wanted to annoy him hard idk 2) Rayla and Callum didn't need to cross water to arrive at TS the first time.

I'm choosing also not to believe this is at the end because them leaving The Silvergroove mid season for them to come back at the end wouldn't make much sense to me unless they are getting married right in this scene mostly because I don't think Rayla and Callum will choose to live in there, at least for now, and this will be the end of the arc not the series so yeah, they could be visiting tho and this could be a chilling ending scene.

In a summary, I don't think rayllum will be separated for a lot of episodes and Callum is totally going to The Shitlvergroove maybe they will get separated again when she gets kidnapped

listen you can't separate them for much unless it's against their will

The dragon prince is a continuous scream of TERRY GET THE FUCK OUT OF THERE

[themistdragon]

... damn, bro

[lunanightriderofthecove]

Watching 6x05 and hearing Viren say that Soren has a true heart has me convinced that 7x02, True Heart, is not only a Terry episode, as Aaron said, but also a Soren episode 🥰

I would've waited to post this until my next rewatch commentary watchthrough, but it's the evening before s7, so I wanted to share this theory before the season is out.

[goddex4]

this show is driving me crazy 😭 corvus noticed the island right away? im sick aaravos is going to do something save my shaylaa

i like to predict character death even if i really really dont want anyone to die! but claudia has had a million death flags since the start and im also leaning towards anya for some reason 😭 which would be so sick and twisted

[raayllum]

so we're just saying all the quiet parts out loud about Callum's psyche and his construction of his own identity huh

[bisexualenbyblueberry]

I'VE SEEN TERRY'S SPEECH TO THE BIRDS THREE TIMES NOW AND I'M JUST NOW REALIZING IT'S AN ATLA REFERENCE. AND I THINK I EVEN MADE A POST ABOUT HOPING THIS PARALLEL WOULD HAPPEN PRE SEASON 5 (or at least wrote it down somewhere). FUCK ME

[sorinethemastermind]

New Theory Unlocked: Arc Three picks up after a seven year time skip, but before that happens we get a comic about Terry, Soren, and Corvus going to find Bird!Harrow and bring him back. Potentially also making Sorvus a thing on this quest.

Like how Arc Two had a timeskip, but we got Through the Moon to explain important events that took place before we jumped ahead.
