#I know some people shipped fluffy viravos and you all are valid

[sarasade]

I’ve been fiercely loyal to Viravos for three-two years- that’s why I had a huge backlog of fan art when I started to post here this year. But I’m also totally prepared for the ship to sink to the deep and be forever forgotten as a weird quirk of the fandom. It’s a high-risk, high-reward situation when both of the characters are aggressive, manipulative, warmongering bastards and Aaravos is basically the Elf Satan anyway sooo-

I love edgy dark ships --though I do have certain conditions that make me consider things going too far for “fun” shipping shenanigans. As we all do. but usually it’s more about how the story handles certain themes than the themes themselves--

I think Viren is the most interesting part of the story so this is not just my  shipper’s lizard brain speaking. He has so much potential, both bad and (some) good, ‘cause you all know Viren lol.

Anyway it’s always a little rough when a show comes back after a long hiatus. Everyone take care and lets be kind to the creators and to each other!
