im soooo normal about ezran callum sibling relationship
the little kid who had to grow up too fast, leaving stolen jelly tarts behind for clean hands on the throne and the big kid who never got a chance to play house with his younger brother before worries took the place of imagination. the kid king who seems to be handling things well, but no longer laughs at jokes with his kind of humor, and would rather get to the point than have a bit of fun with finding out the answer.
ezran luckily has a strong support system and a brother that will be there for him no matter what, putting himself in danger just to ensure ezran's safety. he's bonded with zym on a psychic and emotional level, and can talk to animals with relative ease. making the burden of the crown just a bit lighter. he knows he has people he can reach out to and lean on, and takes advantage of that when the offer is handed to him. growing up hurts, but with loved ones surrounding him, it was okay. as okay as it could be.
callum is his own support system. soren's called him step-prince for as long as he could remember, and though it was never explicitly shown, it's not hard to infer the amount of damage that can inflict on someone's mind. he already was second in line to the throne despite being the older sibling, and to just have it drilled in your head again and again that someone doesn't want you there just hurts. and it forms an unhealthy mindset that sticks with him for a while.
soren's insisted that it was a joke, but it's not wrong for callum to take it personally. especially with how many times soren's repeated it. claudia lost his respect a long time ago. callum isn't really shown to have the same amount of familiarity with the royal court as ezran does, and his office is a bit isolated from the rest of the castle. it isn't where he sleeps (though sometimes falls asleep in), but even in his own quarters he's separated from ezran. that bed's either filled by rayla or just empty moonlight at this point.
callum's always taken his own path whereas ezran followed in his father's footsteps.
that's naturally led to callum exploring a new future alone (or at least, with minimal support) vs ezran having the entire castle staff to rely upon with centuries' worth of experience in handling the rule of a king.
and proven in the series, it's caused ezran to detach from callum a bit himself. how he thought callum's upset post-possession was about rayla and not the literal puppeting that had been going on. he was never able to see through his brother the way callum could see through ezran and that's likely intentional.
bait and zym are also like parallels to their relationship in a sense; ezran had accidentally batted bait away in his sleep and bait left, upset and a little angry -- until callum saw him and invited him to hang out with him. they don't have a connection like ezran and zym have (unless you wanna get super meta, since bait's sounds are made by jack desena), but they understand each other just as much as the king and dragon prince do. before that happened, however, bait was very clingy with ezran. see the connection?
they haven't abandoned each other, far from it. they've gotten more aggressive in their love, especially with the stakes raising and callum extremely prone to becoming a weapon. ezran would prefer to talk things out, though something tells me aaravos would rather have fun with his toys instead of discussing things. maybe the way they show brotherly love is different now, but callum knows what sacrifice he would have to make to protect his family, his brother. ezran doesn't want to lose callum, and is determined to find a solution that doesn't involve the loss of his brother. his only brother.
thank you for coming to my ted talk this was a massive brain dump that i just needed to get out haha! i'm a sucker for sibling relationships and theirs draws me in like no other.
#limited rayla mentions because this is a focus on brotherly bonds and love#and not romance#i don't think it's really talked about enough about how much they've separated going down their own paths#even though they're almost always at each other's side#callum's doing something no human has ever really done before#and ezran is repeating the cycle of taking the throne and becoming king#might braindump like this more i find it really relaxing#ceo of sibling relationships that's me#tdp#the dragon prince#tdp rambles#the dragon prince rambles#callum and ezran#callum tdp#ezran tdp#bobarambles#bobasalt

I have SO many thoughts about everything and they are in no kind of order yet, so here's just some quick little bits in the meantime!
I am not normal about any of these characters!
#art#twisted wonderland#twisted wonderland spoilers#twisted wonderland episode 7 spoilers#twisted wonderland episode 7 part 6 spoilers#twisted wonderland book 7 spoilers#twisted wonderland book 7 part 6 spoilers#me just staring at the ceiling thinking about anime characters#if i start talking about the big stuff now it's going to turn into a huge rambling mess so in the meantime#i did not get sebek (yet) (i need to contemplate my gems...) but i did see his groovy#he is just full-on cinderella-sparkles bibbidi-bobbidi-booing into that armor! magnificent.#and i really don't have enough words for how much i love tiny malleus. he is perfect. he is precious. he is everything to me.#he knows who his dad is no matter what some crusty dead talking ectoplasm blobs say#(man no wonder lilia's got hangups if THAT was the general attitude he was getting)#('eww you got your dirty bat cooties on the prince' go sit in the corner with mrs. rosehearts you absolute garbage)#(...i did kind of love that lilia started to wake up because the senate said one nice thing to him)#(and he immediately was like 'this is not reality')#(sounds about right)#on a lighter note i was just. SO charmed by the little throwaway about ✨dragon lord consort esteemed diplomat revaan✨#who picks the vegetables out of his food and hides them under the tablecloth#everything i learn about this man makes me like him more. he was SO dumb.#now we know where malleus gets it from i guess#also unrelated but once again the fact that i named my mc tamago has had unintentional consequences#tamago take the tamago and tamago tamagao tamago#frikkin love that when yuu gives the egg back you can just be like 'i love him. this is my baby now.' 100% accurate.#also yuu continually referring to malleus as tsunotarou even to the senate = amazing. yuu really has NO self-preservation or awareness.#they fit right in with everyone else#<- see what did i tell you. huge rambling mess.#and i haven't even BEGUN to talk about MELEANOR -- (is dragged offstage by a hook)

Thinking about a Dungeon Meshi swap AU where Laios is eaten instead of Falin
I think everything is relatively the same in the terms of party members. Chilchuck would stay, not for Falin, but for Laios cause he and the blond are actually close and he wouldn’t say it out loud but he’s worried about him and no I won’t take criticism. Marcille would stay, definitely for Falin but she’s worried about that weird guy in her own way. Namari would still leave and wish Falin the best. The only difference is that Shuro would definitely come this time if it was Falin who asked, however he’d probably tell her to go on ahead without him so he can get a bigger team to help and meet her down there. Senshi, of course, still joins the group.
There are a lot of little things that would change but I have such a specific scene in my brain that won’t leave.
In the swap version of the scene where Chimera Falin fucks everyone up and then run off, Falin watches as her now monsterfied and wounded brother flee, tears in her eyes as she attempts to stop herself from crying but can’t. Marcille, immediately assuming that she’s crying about Laios, tries to comfort her by saying they’re going to find a way to revert this, even if at the time she’s just saying an empty promise to make Falin feel better since she has no clue on how to fix Laios either.
But that’s not why Falin is crying.
During the fight she watched her brother very closely, the way he moved, the way he analyzed each person who came close, the way his eyes softened and he gently smiled when he recognized her for just a moment before turning back into a beast. A gut wrenching realization ran through her head the more she watched him and it got even louder when he fled.
She realized that when her brother appeared as that chimera, that monster, his yellow eyes shined bright in the dark and his toothy grin could be seen for miles, and the grin barely faded even during the battle.
Falin has never seen her brother so unapologetically happy in her entire life.
It was like he was made to be a monster.
She wondered if it would be cruel to turn him human again, a horrid thought that she might be ripping him away from what was assumedly his dream come true. Who gave her the right to ruin her brothers happiness when she knows Laios would do everything in his power to make sure his little sister was happy.
She quickly shook away the thought. She had to save her brother. She had to.
But no matter how much deeper they traveled that small persistent thought stayed in her brain, trying to make her doubt the rescue and convince her that, while he wouldn’t tell her outright, Laios would grow to despise her for turning him back a tallman when being a monster was so freeing and easy.
Falin knows in her heart that her brother could never hate her and it was just her stressed and anxious thoughts getting the best of her, but it doesn’t stop those fears from manifesting in her nightmares.
Ignore me I’m running on 2 hours of sleep and I’m loosing my mind slightly

Of course you have a weird relationship that might include a Deal™ and a lot of homoerotic tension with an eldritch being. And pronouns.

As far as I can find, Soren has only cried twice in the entire six seasons of The Dragon Prince.
Once in Seasons Two, after he's paralyzed by the dragon.
"I was confused, and I didn’t want to do it, but I do want Dad to love me, and be proud of me."
And once in Season Six, when Viren is apologizing to him for all the hurt he's caused.
"Somehow you found the right path in spite of everything I've done. I'm so proud of you."
I've been thinking about this since the season dropped, so now you can too. You're welcome.

Leola was sentenced to death for teaching humans the basics of Primal Magic
centuries later, Aaravos taught humans Dark Magic
using Dark Magic causes "a darkness at the center of one's soul"
that "darkness" can only be cured by filling it with the "light" of the person truth
Aaravos refered to Leola as a star, and the light in his life
Aaravos used to have a solid star symbol on his chest - after Leolas' death, the symbol is inverted and has a hollow dark void at its centre
Something, something, blah blah - in order to use magic, Aaravos ensured that humans must experience the hollow void at the center of their soul that he feels every single day since his daughters execution.
She died to give them magic, he ensured that they feel the full weight of her sacrifice just as much as he does

I wonder if Leola would even recognize her father now. She knew him as kind and gentle, and a lover of life and humans, but he’s become sly, sinister, and manipulative. He’s wreaked havoc upon the world and people Leola loved so much. Caused so much pain and death for humans, elves, and dragons alike.
I think if Leola somehow saw Aaravos again, she’d see a stranger.

anyone else notice that Aaravos is the only Startouched elf we’ve seen so far that has darkened scaleras? wonder why that might be. Hmmm…

Just wanna say something to everyone out there in the TDP fandom:
So I know there's a low chance of Arc 3 and uncertainty with the panel getting cancelled and everything, on top of not being able to extend the hype/wait for s7 til next year, but, that doesn't mean we have to say goodbye to the fandom forever.
Just because we might not get more seasons, doesn't mean the fandom has to die.
As long as we keep on talking about it, making and sharing memes, drawing fanart, reading and writing fanfic, making edits and AMVs, making and listening to podcasts and our playlists we've made, TDP is still alive.
I don't care if this is the last year of the show, I'll still want to host another Rayllum Month next year. I'll still want to write and read fic. I'll still be playing around with making AMVs.
Just because the show stops, doesn't mean we should.
Because, I believe, the show only truly dies when the fandom dies. And if we keep making stuff and interacting and having fun together, TDP will never die.

2x08 // 6x01 framing that torments mee
#the key of aaravos#i did it for the framing#2x08#6x01#parallels#the dragon prince#tag ramble#these screenies also fill me with the need to scream about callum gaining the moon arcanum next season#rayla IS the one who put callum on the path of magic. put the key to his destiny in his hands (figuratively and literally)#anyways. also#thinking about way back pre-s6 when i thought that the key might be involved (if not the tool itself) in opening aaravos's prison and#wondering about 2x08 having the title “_book_ of destiny” but the ep/callum's dm dream centering on the key#and the repeated references to destiny being written (and by whom)#and then 6x09 (and the s6 promo posters!) showed us the key's purpose for unlocking the magical potential of aaravos's book#so. hell YEAH#something something CHET i'm still a believer
