The Dragon Prince S6 - Tumblr Posts

I mean seriously what were these arms for

I can't believe we ALMOST got a Rayllum bridal style carry in The Frozen Ship only for it to be ruined by Callum's poor core strength

Me right now because apparently s6 of The Dragon Prince came out but I don’t have Netflix anymore (sad 😔)

Art style number 3 lmao

Damian's Poem

They say the stars outlast us all

Eternal sentinels on high

But i have sought their silver hearts

And wonder if, perhaps, they die

Perhaps they gasp the cold of dawn

A final breath of living night

Then newborn sparks born of the dark

Breath in the dusk, and breathe out light

I cant lie before season six i couldnt get the ocean poem out of my head and now this has taken its place. Help me- LMFAO (Also i hope Callum inherited a few things from Damian bc my man had that poet rizz. I need more rayllum scenes to see Callum's fail attemps of flirting bro lol)

I think writers of tdp took the "trauma for development" A bit too literal. PEOPLE ARE LOSING FAMILY LEFT AND RIGHT BRO! NOT EVEN JUST PEOPLE FUCKING DRAGONS TOO (Viren, Harlow, Damian, Sarai, Aanya's mothers, Leola, Avizandum, Zubeia AND ik she's not gone gone but they did make us worry for a hot minute) ... Be honest, who hurt you? We can solve this by talking please i swear. Dont make the babies suffer more 😭😭😭😭😭😭

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?

Why does this remind me of that scene in how to train your dragon 2 where hiccup talks to toothless to get him out of the alphas control? LMFAO DONT MIND ME JUST TOO MUCH STUFF GOING ON UPSTAIRS

The more I think about it the more that monster Rayla saved with kindness seems significant…

Like what if Callum gets “possessed” or whatever by dark magic and instead of killing him Rayla uses love/compassion/kindness to bring him back…

So we can agree that Sol Regem pulled an Apep when he swallowed the dude, right?..

Right.

Season 7 being called “Dark” is very fitting because they are definitely on The Darkest Timeline

so

the dragon prince s6

..

holy FUCKKKKK

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?
