AND THEM PLAYING "Because She's Rayla" IN THE BACKGROUND IS JUST A CRIME OF PERFECTION! AAAAAAAAAAAAAA

AND THEM PLAYING "Because She's Rayla" IN THE BACKGROUND IS JUST A CRIME OF PERFECTION! AAAAAAAAAAAAAA

The way this whole scene was so sweet and validating and just everything from a characterization and relationship standpoint. Rayla, being prepared to leave the Starscraper without even asking about the quasar diamonds, being so hesitant and overwhelmed to even reach for or grasp at something she Wants, and Callum being so steady and patient and loving. Placing his hand over hers and guiding her hand to the diamonds. It's okay to want things. It's okay to have what you want. It's okay to take them.

His encouraging little nod, the way he gives space so that she can hold them, the way Rayla repeats "You knew," as she re-contextualizes his previous behaviour—staying up all night figuring out the spell, wanting to go on the quest in the first place to a degree, being incredibly frustrated when he couldn't figure out the rune spell at first—with new clarity that it was for her.

The way Callum says what we've always seen and known out loud, but so gently and with so much love. He knows her, knows her so well, her selfless heart and kind nature and how routinely she puts herself second, that she would've refused to go if she knew it would benefit her. She never does anything for herself, and Callum would do anything for her, my beloved. Including and up to why she left and how they're moving forward since.

And Rayla once again being shocked and a little overwhelmed (same girl) that anyone could or would love her this much this well. It's okay to want things, and I will do everything in my power to give you chances to have them. I'll give you everything you want and deserve if you just let me.

Callum thinking she really might even be slightly mad because she agreed to saving people without the full context (that it'd also let her save her family) but of course Rayla just hugs him with gratefulness and love, finally smiling now that the shock and overwhelm of it all has processed.

And if I cry every time what then?

The way this is worded is sending me HZHSHSHSHSHHSHSS

Zeus really showed up in The Horse and The Infant like “here, it’s time to make an impossible choice that will fuck you up forever”

And then pops back up in Thunder Bringer like guess what Ody babygirl

'..giant waves and a giant storm'

+ everything about the winions

This show started with children making a different choice from their parents and elders, and returning a lost child to its parent.

And it turns out this all started because, millennia ago, a parent lost his child and turned his grief into vengeance.

Isn't it funny how both the unicorns of Xadia and Leola gave magic to humans.

Leola having only one horn maybe was foreshadowing from the start lol also isnt it ironic that both are beings of the stars and yet the startouch elves dare to find leola guilty

Yes unicorns did give humans primal stones to do magic bc they felt bad for them since humanity was starving and dragons and elves wouldnt do anything. Another interesting thing i stumbled upon wiki was that "originally, the unicorns were suppose to rival the dragons, as they supported humans while the dragons allied with elves." They were okay with going up against the dragons bc of their compassion towards humans.

And also another thing i saw on the wiki was "unicorns bestowed humans with the knowledge of magic and gifted primal stones while ALSO teaching them the language of dragons (aka draconic) and the runes necessary to release the primal stones magic which would allow them to cast spells and become mages" Unicorns were the most compassionate beings of all Xadia and even though elves warned them about humans they still chose to help them bc they couldnt ignore the compassion that they were feeling towarda humans.

Another also FUCK the humanity! Even though the unicorns help them they still chose to hunt every single unicorn down untill they went extinct! Imagine the betrayal the unicorns felt after that!!! 😭😭😭😭😭💕💕💕💕💕💕

BRO- THIS IS BRILLIANT!!!

so the spell to bring back runaan needed to be cast with love. and callum cast that spell without knowing that. so now we’ve basically gotten the confirmation that he was willing to free rayla’s parents from the coins exclusively out of his love for her

i need a moment
