LOVING how dark this season went. Also "I swallowed her"?? Good to know literal cannibalism is on the table in this show ✅

#i mean obviously it's not to be taken literally #but im very much enjoying aaravos' fucked up ways #also im mostly posting this for the pun #the dragon prince #tdp spoilers #tdp s5 spoilers #aaravos #aditi #my thoughts

[kradogsrats]

I feel like there's something interesting going on with Queen Aditi the Merciful, Queen Aditi who is feared and respected by the dragons, Queen Aditi who abolished the duel of blood and ash, and her descendant Prince Karim the student of history, Karim who casually uses archaic Sunfire greetings, Karim who is obsessed with the glory of his people's past, and who demands a duel of blood and ash as a sacred ritual that no king or queen can abolish...

Like, Aaravos definitely removes Aditi at least in part because it perpetuates and intensifies the destabilization of Xadia by the draconic succession crisis, but I wonder if Aditi was also a turning point in some kind of Sunfire culture reformation. Aaravos calls her "arrogant," which could be simply because she was doing shit like stepping in to decide who would be the next dragon monarch, but could also potentially refer to any number of changes she may have instigated that were not in favor of his vision. Maybe to think you can change thousands of years of tradition and culture is arrogance? Either way, she did things like look at an apparently sacrosanct tradition of violence and say, "this is fucking stupid and we're not going to do it anymore."

Anyway, I think that's interesting in the context of s4's Sunfire plotline centered around holding respect and compassion for tradition but also looking to a future that may not include it? Also then s5's dichotomy of Karim addressing Sol Regem as "true King of the Dragons" and Kim'dael naming Janai as "true Queen of Lux Aurea," like... one of those is Aditi's legacy and the other is something older and more brutal, that Aditi may have been pushing away.

Some old Amaranthae pieces vs their...still pretty old redraws. :') (Like...2020 to 2022?) I'm gonna be honest...the stabby-stabby piece is on my list for yet another redraw, and I will probably make it a thing where I do so every two or three years, just to see how I'm coming along. It's probably something to do with the fact that, out of all of these, stabbington is the only real established canon event. :')

(The third row used to be, but I removed it because it felt a little too on-the-nose, but I'm going to say the Midnight Desert still happened because Viren made it very clear humans still went on expeditions to Xadia even after Sarai was killed.)

I'll probably update this post with more redraws if ever I do them, but I'm pretty sure I will. :') There's one particular one with a little Claudia that I really wanna take another look at. ♥

Me still laughing at how I used to draw Viren oh LAWT-

Mercy and the Sunfire Monarchy

so I started this as just a short "Aditi or a direct ancestor was the originator of the Merciful Compromise, here's the evidence" but then it kind of turned into a general Sunfire meta on Janai and Aditi and I'm too lazy to extract it into two coherent parts

anyway I'm officially calling it now: either Aditi herself, or one of her close ancestors, was the one who proposed the "Merciful Compromise" of splitting the land between humans and elves

But at the last moment, a daughter of the elven leader proposed the Merciful Compromise. She asked that humans be allowed to move and settle the lands to the west.

— Book One: Moon, Prologue

Aditi, being queen of what is obviously a bloodline monarchy, would have been the daughter of a prior monarch.

— s4e4: Through the Looking Glass

Note the numerous types of elves pictured: Aditi was not considered queen/leader of only Sunfire elves, therefore it's a reasonable assumption that the elven leader mentioned was another Sunfire monarch.

— s5e5: Archmage Akiyu

Here's where things get a little messy: Aditi is Karim and Janai's great-grandmother. We still don't have a firm answer on elven lifespan, but it technically only has to be about 250-300 years to easily put Aditi's parent as Sunfire monarch 1000 years ago. Problem is, we know Aditi was queen as recently as 300 years ago, so she would have to have lived 700+ years to have been alive at the time of the expulsion of humans from Xadia.

Now, to be frank, this canon is not the best with timeline consistency, especially when it comes to reasonable length of time between events. Combined with the deliberate vagueness over elven lifespan (in that they clearly intended it to be significantly longer than a human's, but then probably realized that would make the two primary romantic relationships of the show sad and now don't seem to know what to do with it), it would not surprise me at all if they were just like, "yeah Aditi lived extra long because of... her exceptional connection to the Sun primal" or something. There does seem to be something special about Aditi, compared to Khessa and Janai—like, Janai's great, but I can't see her commanding the respect of archdragons (yet).

However, if we assume a 250-300 year lifespan, the originator of the Merciful Compromise could be Aditi's grandmother. If we continue to take Rayla's jab at humans' "sub-century" lifespan as a canon-establishing fact, with minimum expected elven lifespan at 100-200 years, you're looking at a distance more comparable to that between Aditi and Karim/Janai. If elven lifespan drops to "comparable to a human's, plus an extra decade or two so 100-120 is not abnormal," the distance becomes more like that between Ezran and the Orphan Queen. Even with the distance, those are considered significant connections—for Janai to Aditi, and for Ezran to the Orphan Queen. I don't think it's a stretch for Queen Aditi the Merciful to possibly have a connection drawn to a merciful ancestor.

— The Queen's Mercy

Queen Aditi the Merciful. The Merciful Compromise.

The concept of mercy in The Queen's Mercy is very complex, and if anything at all, I think it points to a continuing dichotomy of Sunfire elves and Sunfire elf culture—the Sun primal is explicitly known for its destructive power and connection with strong emotions, but also has a less-acknowledged potential for healing and truth when balanced (Tales of Xadia, 137). Janai is introduced to us as an aggressive warrior, having attacked the fort Amaya commands and attempting to trick her into an ambush. She's shown to have a stern and hot temper when interrogating Amaya.

However, because Amaya showed her mercy she didn't expect, she's clearly deeply uncomfortable with Khessa's initial decision to just have Amaya killed (due to her being "worthless") and then even with Khessa's clearly pointed use of "letting the Light decide her fate." Khessa is obviously expecting her little sister to learn a harsh lesson about mercy in that scene: Amaya will be revealed to be corrupted, as all humans are, and Janai will see that her soft heart allowed her to be tricked. She's visibly disappointed when Amaya passes the trial, but at least keeps to her word and lets her live... as an object that is Janai's problem, now. (Probably she still expects to be vindicated, in the end.)

— s3e3: Ghost

We don't see a lot of Khessa being queen, but that's not a very flattering scene for her. In The Queen's Soul, we see Karim and Janai remember her fondly... but there's also an interesting moment:

— The Queen's Soul

Karim expects Janai to be the kind of ruler Khessa was, calling on her to take the same path as Khessa's "wisdom." Janai rebuffs this line of thinking, partly because she's not super thrilled to be queen... but also because, as the next sentences show, she doesn't plan to be the kind of queen Khessa was. We see throughout s4 the tension between the future Janai wants for her people and Sunfire tradition: blood duels to the death, the death penalty for nonviolent infractions... the start of the s4 Sunfire arc is literally Amaya mistaking a Sunfire ritual of joy and love for an attack.

Completely unrelated side note: Karim already has Osato's red glove in The Queen's Soul, meaning the events of After Darkness are within weeks of the end of s3. Boy's been holding on to that shit for years, now.

Aditi is portrayed as a ruler, a warrior, a smith, and a mage—aspects that encompass different kinds of power, as well as both creation and destruction. She is characterized as wise, kind, and merciful, but that doesn't make her naive in the face of unrepentant evil. She spares Kim'dael's life, but locks her into a redemption that will take lifetimes—and also hinges on the mercy of her descendants. (A mercy that Janai is not willing to extend, though that's the kind of thing that could still come around.) Janai may not be a mage and we haven't seen how much of a smith she may be, but we are seeing that she's a visionary who cares deeply about the future of her people, even at the expense of her own life.

Janai can stand up and say "this human is guilty of her crime, but death is not justice," the way Aditi could stand up and say "this blood duel tradition is nonsense and detrimental to our people," and the way someone, centuries earlier, stood up and said "all humans don't deserve to die."

The Merciful Compromise was proposed by a Sunfire elf of the royal line, send tweet.

#anyway imagine how much it sucked to be aditi's daughter lmao like #'hey your mom's... gone and everyone's pissed off what do you plan to do about it?' #i hope we see her whenever we get more orphan queen stuff #sunfire elves #janai #aditi

[beautifulterriblequeen]

oh

Kim'dael's horn cuff looks like Aditi's crown, similar to how Runaan's cuffs have Ethari's swirlies, and Ethari's have Runaan's eye color.

If only we knew what could've motivated the great queen of the Sunfire elves to outlaw duel challenges to royalty!

so mysterious...

[baatarthefirst]

For the ship thingie :3 We don't know each other so I'll try three random ships: 1. Aaraditi, 2. Sorayla, 3. Khessamaya

Send me a ship: Aaraditi

ship: ew / nonono / maybe / ship it / aww / otp / MY HEART

If these two were a thing, it clearly didn't end well. I would think it would be interesting to learn that the two had a casual thing happening. And that maybe Aaravos had to swallow Aditi simply because she got too close; making the mistake of trusting him enough to ask him about certain 'problems' she was investigating.

Send me a ship: Sorayla

ship: ew / nonono / maybe / ship it / aww / otp / MY HEART

Don't get me wrong, I see the appeal, but this is more of a bromance for me; one which I wish we could see more of.

Send me a ship: Khessamaya

ship: ew / nonono / maybe / ship it / aww / otp / MY HEART

Let's say Janai was already happily married when we're introduced to her, then I think this would be a fun ship. I lean more towards Khesari, but the sisters are pretty similar, so I think we'd still get the, arrogant snobbish one begrudgingly falling for the fun and scrapy one, dynamic that I would enjoy watching.
