well there was somebody...

[kanerallels]

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

[raayllum]

What's wrong? I've seen you do a lot of awful things, dark magic things, but I always believed in you because you had a reason. But what you did, the way you tricked that Moonshadow elf? It was just... cruel.

I'm done watching season 5 of the Dragon Prince nooo 😭

[herwrittenuniverse]

It started out platonic enough - her asking for a spare match to help light the candle, and that the candle kept going out and the draft in her new room was too much and it kept blowing the candle out, and didn’t he learn any of the Sun Primal yet to help her?

“No,"  was his answer, cold and distant - like he was somewhere off still in the Drakewood and she was here, and present, and in her pajamas and desperate for some candlelight …

“ Fine, goodnight,” was her equally terse and short response. The door slams shut as she whips around to go back to her room, much like a child goes back to its mummy after being left out of the circle at playtime - huffy and angry and wanting so badly to punch someone - to punch him - -

But those feelings… oh, do they ever get the best of her, and Rayla never played nice, not even as a wee elf.

(One shot. T because got language and it's spicy. Basically, this is a self-indulgent excuse for these two to make out. You’re welcome. Happy New Year 2023.)

Read the rest on AO3

It just occurred to me that I've been making a variety of fandragons in recent months and just like. Forgot to post about them.

So here's my Crow Master fandragon, complete with crows

[luzofmivida]

Idk if this is a good or bad thing but ever since my ex and I broke up, the shows we used to watch together have gone to shit!.

The Owl House: was already canceled, but got leaked AGAIN

Inside Job: canceled

Rick and Morty: ...Justin

Solar Opposites: ^^^

Opinion! No reflection on the actual show, it's just funny because: The Dragon Prince: rayllum (the couple we literally saw ourselves as) broke up and STAYED broken up

[nejitenotp]

I really hope we see N'than again- he reminds me of a more mischievous s1-3 Ezran [but he kinda gave me ellis vibes-just on the side for one season, never to return]

[raayllum]

You'll feel it all around I'm here, I'm there, I'm everywhere But you can't catch me now

[constantstateofpain]

OUFHHDHS I’M GOING YO LOOSE IT WHEN SEASON 5 COMES OUT. IM 😭😭

Keep walking Callum.. keep walking

I think Nyx's probably saying something embarrassing. probably.

I love how inclusivity is handled in The Dragon Prince, here's why.

In most shows, as much as it bothers me to admit so, some people are right, inclusivity does feel forced sometimes. But it's not the characters' fault, it's not because of them being part of the lgbtq+ community, or being disabled, or being POC, or being strong women who do not conform to patriarchal standards.

It's not that.

It's that the show they are part of is a straight, white, abled parade - and notice, most of said shows won't even pass the Bechdel test.

So yes, in a show written by and aimed to straight, white, abled people, even I, a gay, non-binary, chronically ill person feel weird seeing charcters that are there just for the sake of inclusivity, albeit 'inorganic'.

In a show with the premise of "straight, white, abled men are the indiscussed MCs", seeing that one side-character that stands out and is often ridiculed and/or reduced to a single trait of their 'personality', such as 'the gay one', 'the asian one', 'the disabled one' (etc) is upsetting and feels uncomfortable as hell.

But TDP is different.

They immediately introduced powerful women, people of color, characters that are openly part of the lgbtq+ community, disabled characters etc. And not one of them per 'category', no. For the lgbtq+ community we have Amaya, Janai, Runaan, Ethari, Terry, Kazi. For the disabled community, we have Amaya again, Villads, and even a disabled wolf Ava. For the POC community, we have literally half of the cast, starting from King Harrow, then Ezran, every sunfire elf, Terry as well, etc. Same goes for women, who take up on roles that are rarely considered 'for women', like Opeli being the main member of the High Council, Amaya being the General, Rayla being the main Dragon Guard, Claudia being one of the main antagonists, etc.

Both main and side-characters are part of the communities, everything is so much more organic, enjoyable, thrilling.

We do not come in 'minor quantity'.

We are everywhere, among others, living our lives, doing our best, existing, thriving, proud. It's not just one or two of us among thousands. Surprise, 'categories' can mix! Just like I, a real human being, can be gay, enby as well as chronically ill, we can have characters like that as well! Amaya being lesbian and disabled, Terry being black and trans, Janai being black and lesbian, etc. And, another surprise, 'categories' don't define us. We don't 'shove it' in anyone's face like they say we do, we're just being us and cishets are upset because we don't conform to their sick standards.

Inclusivity is organic in TDP because nobody in that universe questions anyone else's color, gender, orientation, etc. And it's organic because we didn't have to wait half a season to see a black character, or a disabled character, or a gay character.

The key to inclusivity is to realise that we aren't just 'bonuses'. Fill shows and comics with lgbtq+, POC, disabled, and female characters. Not just one every 15, 20 characters. Everywhere.

We are everywhere! We are proud! We deserve to be seen! We deserve to be depicted as the normal people we are, without diminishing our traits but without making them our whole personality either. Treat us like human beings, be considerate like you should be with everyone on the planet of course, but treat us like humans.

Antagonising people who are 'different' (in the mind of straight, white, abled people) will not suppress us. We will keep insisting until you hear us. It's literally one of the main messages, one of the main teachings of TDP and it's so damn important.

Every single person on Earth should watch it. Every single kid should be introduced to TDP at an early age. Every old bigot should watch it, as well. Everybody. Even if it's considered a y7 (y10 for s4 and s5 apparently) show, everyone, no matter their age, should give it a try and watch it thoroughly.

Lots of love to the creators and everyone, literelly everyone involved in the production of one the best, most entertaining, most exciting, most formative shows ever. Please, keep it up! And thank you so much!

Between

2x08 S: "As long as I'm doing something to help out a friend, I don't mind what it is! I just want to be there for 'em when they need me. Because at the end of the day, helping my friends is more important than anything in the world!"

3x03 Mei: "So wait, how did you get your gold vision back again?" MK: "I don't know! The same way I got them in the first place I guess. Every time I learned a new ability, it was because there was something I NEEDED to do, when there was no other way. Against the gold fish guy I NEEDED to do something to save my friends!" P: "Yeah, friends that YOU put in danger on purpose!"

3x10 MK: "NO! Mei is my best friend, I’d never abandon her when she needs me. We’re heroes! It’s what we do!",

3x14 MK: "A perfect world is what you make it. So as long as I have my friends by my side...this world! Is! Perfect!”

4x01 MK: "Honestly? I’m kinda liking the world as it is, right now. So...if it could just stay like this, forever? That would be awesome." SWK: "Yeah well...forever’s a long time bud...trust me."

4x02 AL: "It’s too late to save them! We can’t risk unleashing the curse into the world." MK: “You don’t know! We’d risk it for sure! I won’t abandon them when they need us."

4x07 IMK: "You can see it, can't you? This is your fate. Your friends will turn on you, seeing you for the monster you will become. They will destroy you, harbinger of chaos."

4x11 MK: "We have to try, he'd do the same—for any of us." and

4x14 YT: "I know full well what would happen should Azure fail. But- but he is my brother. I owe him my life." S: "We get it! I'd do anything to help my friends. But at the cost of the world?" P: "I'm sorry pal, but NOTHING worth that price!"

I'm like, really worried scoob.
