yeah, ideed, she's come to appreciate humans, but... What really gets me in that first passage is how she says humans "could be anything, they could take their own fates and change them"... As if elves couldn't. That is certainly what she believes: that she is bound to persue a path she may not really want, but cannot change.

Rayla really came to admire humans thanks to Callum. After all he did the impossible as a human, he could do anything or become anything just as he will change his "fate" with Aaravos' path of darkness, with her help.

"safe and warm" Callum is her home isn't he? she feels safe and loved with her, I can't with this.
Amazing how miserable she is in this story yet she's seems way more happy in season 4. Yes she isn't fully happy and a is a lot quieter than before given the circumstances but at least she's happier and not totally emo (cartwheel moment). She missed her boy (s).
I've been thinking... Maybe dark magic stems straight from star magic?
For a second there I even thought the "big reveal" would be that dark magic might just be star magic pure and simple, but that doesn't click.
Then season five came and I've got a little theory: dark magic is corrupted star magic, it's star magic backwards. This could make sense because while dark magic drains power from life, by way of killing/exploiting body parts from animals and magic creatures, I propose star magic creates life. Case in point: Sir Sparklepuff, aka viraavos' baby.
What Viren did there with Aaravos' help was using his own blood (therefore his own power/life force) and some incantation to bring life into the world. If that was indeed star magic (I'm inclined to think so) then star magic created a magical creature with its own unique existence.
What do y'all think?
I don't know what that would mean for the story but... the wheels are turning in my head.

It's giving Willow on Buffy The Vampire Slayer Season 5 and I'M HERE FOR IT.
so have we talked about Claudia, under water with her pentapus tentacles, having to repeatedly go back to her potion to keep up the effect and how much it looks like someone reliant on recreational drug abuse and the implications that has for the addictive quality of dark magic
