Reading The Dark Prophecy: Chapter 29 (SPOILERS)

I got a glimpse of the "You villain!" and "Ssssstand assssside! . . . I will ssssswallow him whole!" on the next page and immediately thought they were talking about Apollo. My bad. It was Lityerses. Coulda been either of them at this point, though.

"'I thought you--' His welding visor fell shut, making the rest of his sentence unintelligible." Lmao

"You have to wonder about your chances in combat when even your dead friends are worried about dying." Oh yeah, I forgot Brieanna's already dead. And even he thinks they should flee? Yeesh, things are not looking up. Eh, they'll be fine.

"But I hear much talk about us and them." Jamie! We're about to die! I think we can spare a little "us and them" talk.

"Hunter Kowalski brandished her screwdriver. 'Not likely.'" Death by screwdriver.

"Commodus won't leave this net alive." I hope he doesn't die in this book. Shouldn't the final battle in the final book have all three Triumvirate members there? I know it's called The Tower of Nero, but everyone should be there, right?

"They have ìgboyà." Yoruba for courage/bravery. "I would have to purchase some ìgboyà as soon as possible." Yeah, Apollo does need a little ìgboyà to strengthen his bones.

"the Hunters of Artemis had to clean the cow pens" Maybe Emmie and Jo are still salty about having to leave the Hunters.

"brothers named Deacon and Stan" I'm sorry, Stan? Ok. "IV drips of nectar." First of all. Do we know their godly parents? Second of all. I didn't know you could inject nectar directly into your blood. Isn't that supposed to be food? I don't see anyone ingesting soup via bloodstream.

"a few dozen mortal mercenaries, about the same number of demigods from the Imperial Household, a few hundred assorted cynocephali and other monsters, plus the usual hordes of blemmyae" *toaster oven dings* How many Hunters do we have?

"Leo, stop." Let him cope, Calypso! Y'all're about to die. Let him let off some steam, both figuratively and maybe literally.

"Also I should mention the giant bronze dragon in the corner" Oh, yeah. So maybe things aren't as bleak as they seem.

"what about your magic? Has it returned?" "This morning, I moved a coffee cup across the counter." clap clap clap

"I would have made popcorn and watched the bloodbath from a distance on Mount Olympus, or simply caught the highlight reel later." I wonder if that was supposed to sound as demented as it did. "But as Lester I felt obliged to defend these people" Is it because he's Lester or because he's seeing this stuff happen firsthand and in the middle of the fray? If it's because he's Lester, then once he regains his powers, will he no longer feel these things?

"not-so-little Georgina" I reiterate: are we sure she's not half Germani? Apollo could've gotten with a Germani person and had a kid. 'Cause Georgina's giant.

"bounce it off his nonexistent head." As a ghost, do you not have all your body parts if you died without them? Like, you'd think that he'd have his head reattached once he became a spirit, but no. Maybe only if they're in the Underworld. But he'd at least, like, carry his head around or keep it in his inventory or something, no? Guess not.

"Was it payback?" I hadn't even considered that. I highly doubt it. Apollo's type of payback is much more obvious than that. *eyes Halcyon Green*

After watching TDP S5 I can't help but think about that one tumblr user who back in S1-2 theorized about the scene between Aravos and Viren with the caterpillar being an analogy/metaphor for bodily exchange/intercourse

They must be feeling amazing knowing they were fucking right!!!!

#tdp s5 #tdp spoilers #the dragon prince #tdp theory #I want to find that theory and re read it #man they were a fucking genious for that #how did they know???#if anyone knows what I'm talking about share the link to that post pls #viravos #lord viren #Aravos

...Claudia?

#the dragon prince #tdp #claudia tdp #tdp season 4 #mystery of aaravos #tdp fanart #doesn't have to be read this way but in my head this is part of an au where sorin goes out after the battle to find claudia #bc shes his sister and the only family he has left #and at the same time claudia is on her own mission to bring back her father #and Not having a good time about it.#she hinted that she had to do some pretty heinous things for that spell so like. she's not in a great mental space atm #and ya know. necromancy has its toll #so claudia is wandering in the woods of xadia with mad haunted doll energy #and so this would be when sorin runs into her for the first time #yeah. anyways.#my art #weaverofink

So... the weird fuzz that happens when Callum and Viren try to research Aaravos... Do we know for sure that's not just a them thing?

Is it potentially a dark magic side effect? Can primal mages/magical creatures research Aaravos to their heart's content?

#I'm not even asking in a 'Rayla has to read to Callum' Rayllum fic writer sense #I'm legit curious #tho that would be cute...#🤔🤔🤔#the dragon prince #tdp #rayllum #rayla #callum #tdp speculation #and also fic plotting #i dunno #tdp callum

Reading The Dark Prophecy: Chapter 9 (SPOILERS)

"if you value your anatomy" is such an amazing threat.

"(She loves those dramatic entrances. She is such and anime-character wannabe.)" You know what? I bet Britomartis got her love of dramatic entrances from being around Artemis.

"instead he produced a tin of breath mints" I think his belt also responds to his emotions. Whenever he's stressed or scared, especially in potentially dangerous situations, the belt always gives him breath mints like it's panicking just as much as he is.

"You must be minor." You're one to talk, Calypso. Even when you were a god, you were only the goddess of one little island in the middle of nowhere. "And he's not my rescuer . . . Although he is short and scruffy." She needs to show more appreciation to the person who rescued her from eternal imprisonment.

"The goddess gave me that coquettish smile that I hated so much" COQUETTISH (adj.): behaving in such a way as to suggest a playful sexual attraction; flirtatious Britomartis, that is your superior's brother!

"A bear trap snapped shut, ripping through stuffing and fabric like an upholstery sharknado." WTF "'Well, isn't this nice?' 'No,' the three of us chorused." I'm loving this. "Bouncing Betty" LOL that nickname's gonna stick.

"Weak mortal flesh! Even weaker than divine flesh!" Considering every myth, I highly doubt that. Apollo's shown more restraint and common sense as a mortal than he ever did as a god. "Well, I never actually said he was waiting for you in the middle of that minefield. I just let you assume." WTF BRITOMARTIS! And Apollo! Common sense! "I don't sit on their eggs and hatch them." "You convinced me to do that once" I don't think Apollo is going to have to swallow madness to go insane. He already is.

"You'd look wonderful as a northern crested newt."

"Oh, the injustice! . . . I would never again send a poor mortal on a quest. Unless it was really important. And unless I was sure the mortal could handle it. And unless I was pressed for time... or I just really didn't feel like doing it myself." Did I just witness character development and character undevelopment in a single paragraph?

"he plans to rechristen Indianapolis." I was like, What are they naming? A baby? An exotic pet? A building? No, silly! They're renaming the whole city! :D

"Death by explosion was starting to sound like a kinder fate than Briotmartis's quest." He's such a drama king.

"Don't fail me, mortals!" Okay, that was a personal insult.

"a few treble hooks snagged in the carpet." Does she have trouble walking ever? Like, if she's walking over carpet or close to curtains and her dress gets snagged... No, of course not, she's a goddess. She only leaves the hooks behind for effect.

I love how part of The Dragon Prince fandom has just decided that Aaravos is Claudia's weird unhinged father uncle step-dad figure now. It makes sense her relationship with her dad was pretty fucked up as well. Same with all the other adults who were supposed to look after her.

#anyone else kind of disappointed that we didn't get to see them interact in s4?#Aaravos reminds Claudia of Kpp'Ar headcanon? Anyone?#I'd read that fic #tdp claudia #tdp aaravos #sarasade text

Viren is gonna live and here’s how

I’ve been thinking, technically Aaravos never says Viren has to be the one to kill the child because otherwise the spell won’t work. Yes, he says “You will sacrifice your other child” and “You must make the sacrifice” because in the moment he’s talking to Viren, but I don’t think the “you” is necessarily the important part - all that matters is the ingrediant the spell was named after. That the child is the sacrifice. And just like you can sarifice a lamb to a God despite not being a lamb parent yourself, the child can be sarifised by someone else. The ‘You’ is more of a red-herring. And the reason I think that is because of the foreshadowing in Viren’s dark-magic-dream-thing.

In his dream he sees Claudia walk into a body of water, which later actually happens and kinda breaks him out of his stupor. Two things are important here:

1. The order in which things are happening in his dream 2. When exactly the events in his dream are happening compared to what’s happening in reality

1. We see Claudia following Viren, saying “Daddy, look! I’m following in your footsteps!” while doing so quite literally and figuratively, essentially growing up. Her appreance changes but (!) it changes to how she’s looking at the time in the story, with her hair half white, her face completely normal. She’s walking straight past Viren (perhabs even surpassing him), not listening to him/unable to hear him, towards the black sun which coincidentally looks like the light of the Sunforge - as well as the light of the staff, obviously - after Aaravos corrupted it.

While she’s walking towards the sun/dark magic/Aaravos/you get the idea, Viren is unable to reach her and both get swallowed by the wave, that she either simply cannot see or doesn’t recognize as the danger it is.

Even under water he still cannot quite reach her - instead the scene cuts aways when he barely brushes her finger tip.

And leads directly to this:

Now, her hair is completely white (which we haven’t seen so far - Kpp’ar’s and Ziard’s hair still has it’s natural color just with white strands, and Viren’s is mainly grey, not completely white despite suffering from a very early on set of the effects of dark magic), she’s pale, she’s covered scaring. And she’s carrying the corrupted black sun staff.

She repeats Viren's mantra of “I'll do anything for our family, Dad. Whatever it takes. However dangerous, however vile“.

(I will.)

And after saying this, Viren once more reaches out to her

but she just vanishes, becoming completely unreachable.

2. While Viren is trying to save Claudia from drowning in his dream, Claudia is doing the same thing with him in reality. With one very important difference: Viren cannot reach Claudia, he cannot save her, cannot stop her from turning completely towards dark magic but Claudia saves his life.

Claudia is already dangerously close to Aaravos, telling Soren how great he is. And we had this wonderful foreshadowing in season 3:

Which, by the way, happens right after this:

In Katolis, she told Viren she’s there for him. In Xadia, it was “We're all that's left of our family, and I won't let anything break us apart.“ On top of the spire, she promised “I brought you back from the dead, and I am not about to let you go!“. And at the lake, right before walking into the water, she said “We've come a long way, dad. And I know this is hard on you but hang on.”

Claudia is doing what Aaravos told her because he told her he would save her dad. If he doesn’t, if Viren dies, I don’t think “oh well, I wanted to save him but he refused to kill Sir Sparklepuff and it had to be him, I couldn’t do anything lol too bad ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ you have a new brother now though!” will quite cut it.

Aaravos knows in order to get Claudia, which seemingly is at least part of what he wants, he has to save Viren. That’s why he calls her a valuable asset right after she talks about how she’ll be there for Viren, showing how important he is to her.

Viren is - in Claudia’s eyes - her only family. The only one who never left her (at least not willingly). Aaravos knows he’s the key, the only key, to her. And just like Viren was willing to do anything to save Soren, Claudia will be willing to do anything to save Viren.

The only way for Claudia to still be on Aaravos side after Viren dies would be in some kind of a revenge plot against group Callum and Xadia for killing her dad but a) even then I don’t see why she wouldn’t be angry, at the very least, at Aaravos too and b) why this couldn’t have happend right after Viren died for the first time anyway. If Aaravos could just manipulate her into seeking revenge there wouldn’t be a point in bringing Viren back in the first place.

Aaravos needs Claudia to fully turn to dark magic, to him, which she will do by performing the powerful spell of making Viren’s life permanent again. And at that point, despite being the reason all of this happened, even Viren - just like in his dream - won’t be able to get through to her anymore.

(and I don’t mean this in a ‘Claudia-is-going-to-be-irredeemable-rest-in-peace’ way but rather like ‘despite-Viren-being-done-with-Aaravos-she-won’t-be-done-with-him’)
