Season 2 confirmed Rayla is in fact a weeb. The girl runs like Naruto and poses like Sailor Moon, it’s only a matter of time before she ascends to her true anime potential.

I love how romantic this looks. It looks like the cover of a romantic movie or novel.

It really kills me that people turn Viren in such a one dimensional character when he’s so much more than that. I especially enjoyed this season because the writers drew such clear parallels between him and Callum but also showed how much he actually has in common with Soren.

I mean we can all agree that it was devastating to see Soren in the hospital scene being happy that he couldn’t move because that means he can’t hurt anybody, but what trully broke me was this part:

It shows not only that Soren has really low self-esteem but also that he loves his dad and looks up to him, so much so that he wouldn’t even question murder because he thinks Viren must have a good reason. It’s also confirmed by Claudia when she tells Ez that Soren chose their dad when their parents split up. 

Now, you’re probably gonna ask me, what exactly can this sweet adorable goof have in common with lord Viren. Well, let’s get to this scene then:

So you’re probably thinking Viren is having a nervous breakdown and yelling at a mirror but I think this monolog has a much deeper meaning.

Viren is not talking about the mirror, HE’S TALKING ABOUT HIMSELF! He is nothing, he’s powerless and useless and he was the one that was supposed to be someone special and important. His frustration at not being able to decipher the mirror’s secret is just another drop in his glass filled with failures. He’s outburst sounds to me like the words he was forced to hear about himself maybe as a child or maybe even from his ex-wife.

What I like about him as a character is that he’s not really villainous, he’s more pragmatic. He also doesn’t have that self-preservation trait that most evil characters have. Viren was ready to sacrifice himself to save King Harrow, he was ready to sacrifice himself for the Queens of Duren and he went on what was probably a suicide mission in order to save hundreds of thousands.

I mean it really shows that he imprinted his view of the world, and of himself, on both his children. While Harrow and Sarai are there playing the great and supportive parents, raising their sons in believing in love and equality and forgiveness, Soren and Claudia have a more…realistic view of the world. 

I know he’s not a very likeable character, he’s not hot (because, if he was, we could forgive murder, right?), and he’s a shitty dad but I think that the writers have shown that he’s so much more than your typical bad guy. I know I’m not going to end up being disappointed with his character, whether the show runners have planned a redeeming arc for him or one of self destruction, I know it’s gonna be great.

One thing I love about tdp

In the dragon Prince, dark magic is actually evil for a reason. It’s not bad just because, it’s bad because it hurts and kills innocent beings. It isnt just dark, forbidden, and edgy, it is actually, legitimately, heartbreakingly terrible, and they show us why.

The morals of dark magic done right, something that’s rare in the world of fantasy writers saying “it just is”
