Screaming, crying, throwing up. It was about love the whole time. IT WAS ABOUT LOVE THE WHOLE TIME!!!!!!!!!!

Every single character was motivated by their love, oh my god.

Also also also, the subtle implication that Claudia is aware of at least some of Aaravos’s manipulations and is doing this anyway. Like, when he asks her why she’s inverting the Moon Nexus if not to bring back Viren, she coolly says, “good question. how about you answer it?” She’s aware, even though he originally couched the idea as being for her sole benefit, that it was very much a thing he wanted done anyway, that he was using her for. She was fine with it because it was mutually advantageous: he gets whatever it is that he wants, and she checks to make sure her father isn’t trapped in such a realm. But deep down, she knows he isn’t. Has known the whole time. So if they’re inverting the Moon Nexus, they’re doing it for him. So when he goes out of his way to clear those dispersions for her, and asks why she’s willing to invert the Moon Nexus anyway, she asks him to tell her why they’re doing this, and to give her the truth this time. Now, it becomes important to her why he wants it done. Aaravos shifts something important when he prioritises being fully honest with her, at least on this one thing. It’s kinda like when Aaravos starts down this path, Claudia takes it a step further: if you want to be honest with me right now, we’re going to be honest. You’re not doing this for me; I’m doing this for you. So why are we really doing it? The whole truth, however ugly. Like, this whole exchange is the rawest they have had yet. It has such a subtle but profound ripple effect on their whole dynamic, encapsulated by Claudia immediately afterward saying to him, “Okay. Follow me.”

The tragedy of Janai makes me want to scream. In the same day she lost her sister and her entire home, her childhood where she grew up with her brother and sister overrun with infected monsters all the while having to shake herself off and help lead survivors to safety

Then she begins to be tormented by Aaravos in her dreams plagued by visions of him killing her in place of her sister as she tries to rebuild what she has left of her home to no avail. Even being forced to kill her own who got infected by the dark magic.

And finally when she was just starting to feel well enough to try and continue her life with a fiancé now her brother turns on her and tries to overthrow all she had worked for. Even after all that she wants to reconcile with him to try and give him a chance only for him to betray her again and be killed by the same Star Touched Elf that killed her grand mother who killed her sister and destroyed her home.

And any hope of healing or returning to Lux Aurea being destroyed the entire city being reduced to rubble

Janai never caught a fucking break

We are not talking enough about Soren saying he’s a poet

Several-Sentence Sunday

Devil works fast, TDP fandom works faster fic from me and @sagegreenfrogs that, as always, is sorvus with Terry 3rd-wheeling

Love how Soren was so determined to not face his mommy issues either that he COACHED Lujanne on how to act like his mom, from her mannerisms of how she places her hands on her stomach, to how she speaks, to what she would say

It must’ve been an oddly immersive experience Soren showing Lujanne the drawing telling her to change this or that and ‘no, no she only wore her glasses to read and her coat had embroidery but the ones at the hem were frayed and the material was softer than this”

Lujanne following the instructions so vivid so clear she must’ve assumed for a moment Soren had seen her recently, the way each detail flies off his tongue until everything is perfect.

Then in the end for his efforts to avoid her Soren is left staring at his mother

This time he knows its an illusion but its still strange it still hurts

I choose to believe that the cut part of script is canon and that whenever they ride together Soren is putting his chin up on Corvus’s head and Corvus grows used to it even what Hat is with them

Soren and Hat both opening their mouths in the wind as they fly and Soren says something like ‘im your hat wearing hat as a hat’ and Corvus just rolls his eyes as he keeps steering but he is smiling

When its Soren’s turn to steer Corvus will rest his chin on his shoulders instead and it’s just their new riding thing they have

Do you think Soren blames himself for everything that has happened?

Not with his dad, since he doesn’t even know that saving Soren is what started Viren on a truly heinous path.

Not even with the loss of Katolis. Yes, he blames himself for not being able to do more, save more, but he knows the attack itself wasn’t his fault.

But with Claudia? Freeing Aaravos? Going down the path she is currently on?

He can’t help but pinpoint the exact moments he helped lead her there.

What if he’d tried to convince her a little more to leave with him? She begged him not to make her choose. What if he’d made the other decision for her? Just grabbed her hand and ran away, as far from Viren as possible?

In his mind, if he’d done that, Aaravos wouldn’t be free. The Archdragons wouldn’t be gone. So much death, bloodshed, pain would have been prevented. For him. For her. For the world.

If he’d just taken her with him.

Stella playing with Soren’s hair is everything to me, actually

Corvus helping Aanya up is such a fun little detail about him and who he is as a person🥺
