if you ever think you'll just "check the members' names and profiles" for a kpop group don't listen to that thought. that's the devil speaking and you Will fall into that fandom face-first
A HUGE thank you to everyone who joined for Meowlevolent Week! Your art and fics have all been spectacular. Most of you were even nice to Arthur and John! Most of you.

iirc, dark magic really was the very first concept for the show (specifically Ehasz's first idea), followed closely by the image of a dark mage showing his two children a spell + their very different reactions. idk why, but it's like the show is embarrassed by the fact that this family dynamic was the original emotional core of the series, and a pretty strong one at that.
i’m not really surprised about this. the magefam has so much more going on than the mains (it’s not even that i’m not interested in rayla/callum/ezran, they’re just not well-constructed and everything about them feels very focus-tested), and dark magic is so much more interesting than the vague handwaves they give primal magic, that everything else about the show feels like set dressing for the story they “really” wanted to tell. like visiting magic kingdom.
