Rayllum - Tumblr Posts - Page 2

Just Rayllum chilling in the shade :) I really wanted to add Stela to this picture, but ran out of patience at the end... sorry (maybe one day I will go back and add her). :<

His Light... his One Truth. ✨

Full picture + a closeup of one of my favorite moments in S6. :)

July 5th: Hands/Touch-starved

Some perfectly innocent handsy stuff with the help of good ol Pinterest. Rayla deserves to get her itty bitty hands hold by Callum's big ones

✨ STARS ✨

I made this picture way before S6 came out, when theories about Callum and the possession was still a huge thing, and I still like some angst from time to time (as long everyone survives). (I still don't believe in the theories about S7 and Callum using Dark Magic again, since we had a really nice resolution to that problem in S6, which is not worth to be destroyed in my opinion, just to start all over again. If the word describing S7 is really "sacrifice", then I would rather think of Terry and Claudia - I have a feeling that Terry has still a role to play in stopping Claudia. But who knows.)

🌸 Spring 🌸

Here, have a gif version :) (Give it some time to load completely, if you don't see the petals moving right away.)

Since Callum's dad wrote poems, this felt kinda fitting for this picture. :)

I brought a little wip for you today. :)

This is actually part of a big project I am working on lately, and if it succeeds, then I will have lots of surpises for you all ~

This time it's a frame design... which has a certain purpose, but I will share that with you later ;)

I will be away for a few days visiting my favorite medieval Fantasy Fair over the weekend, so I hope you enjoy this picture until I am back ~

I am still busy with various projects (at least one of them is TDP related), so unfortunately I didn't had time to draw new things.

But here is some old art where I refreshed the colors a bit, and corrected some small things that really bothered my eyes for a while.

So, here we go. :)

hedging a major bet for tdp's future seasons:

callum will use dark magic again.

now, there's some part of me that's only saying this because i want it to happen. i'm a major callum person, but me being a fan of a character means i want said character to suffer as much as possible before their happy ending. however, i do think that not only would such an event be interesting, it also would explain some stuff we've been getting as of s5 and s6.

though there's some things in s4 that contribute to this theory, s5's final episodes specifically take us back to dark magic as it relates to callum. he's assumed to be a dark mage, admits to thinking about and studying it (which, though that doesn't really mean much as studying is really just studying, is still something to point out), is pressured into doing a dark magic spell, actually DOES a dark magic spell.. there's a lot. i'd say that final point points out callum's fatal flaw fantastically: excessive personal loyalty. (do you hear that? all pjo fans collectively screamed.) to save a friend, callum would sacrifice himself, or a greater cause.

this ties well into the next season. in s6, in return for callum promising to choose the greater good's safety over rayla's (there's that theme of personal loyalty again), rayla finally promises that if callum is possessed by aaravos again, she'll kill him. this is immediately followed by the audience being informed that using dark magic gives aaravos a way to posses you, which is THEN followed up by callum being warned that if he uses it again after the cleansing thing, "the darkness and corruption will overwhelm you." idk, but the whole thing to me seems like it's setting up a lot of potential for callum to use dark magic in the future, only to fall victim to both this aforementioned corruption and aaravos.

in summary, i think it's quite likely callum will use dark magic again to save someone he loves, losing himself in the process. i do personally hope for ezran, solely because i like testing the limits of brotherly love and consider their dynamic to have been somewhat neglected as of late, but rayla would make the most sense given what's been shown so far. "oh no!" you cry out at this theory. or maybe you hate him and you cheer, idk. but do not fret (or do not celebrate for you haters /lh). if this route is taken, there's three things i can see happening:

"you broke your promise, i'll break mine." rayla ignores what she said, saving callum over killing him. would probably be yet another l/i reaches out to m/c whilst they're being possessed "yada yada yada i love you this isn't you blah blah blah." though it is something of a tired concept at this point, it would still be fun to see.

the extra quasar diamond. c'mon, they wouldn't leave one free one out there for no reason, we know this. rayla keeps her promise and kills him, but callum is revived.

some combination of both.

i also have related hopes for claudia, but i think i've said what i need to. anyone agree with me?
