from a fic standpoint i know myself and many others have most often incorporated callum's memory being very good (especially with visual surroundings) but not perfect when it comes to word/conversations, in spite of post-s1 tweets that he has a photogenic memory, simply because we 1) see him forget things he tells other people ("who told you that?" "you did"), 2) forget things other people tell him (4x01 with the guard and council meeting"), and 3) look up spells he presumably read and wrote by hand in his spellbook (s4, s5) but i realized today his memory can't be perfect because of two emphasized examples in S5

1) Callum remembers he saw something about a spell that can restore bodies to lost spirits in the Great Bookery, but doesn't remember precisely what it is (hence why he has to take more time and subsequently risk their lives) and why even once finding it, Amaya has to drag him away from the page (which is mostly a picture and barely has any writing on it, anyway)

2) And if he had a literally perfect memory, he wouldn't have to try and peek at the Aaravos poem going, because just a second would've been enough. But it isn't, even if he's definitely smarter (and a little bit craftier) than Viren in trying to steal a peek to see if he can outsmart the magic rather than just giving up

And look at how cute he is!!

So yeah, canonically, Callum's memory is very good and definitely better at most people's (especially when it comes to turning visual things into art) but is not perfect

Curse MK is so delightful because like, as I've mentioned before he functions as a mirror to MK, and that gives us the opportunity to have some out loud introspection. He forces MK to emphatically admit insecurities and even reveals to the audience some insecurities that wouldn't have been voiced otherwise:

"We're just like Wukong, a fraud! A trickster! Destructive! Why would our legacy be any different?"

You wouldn't EVER catch MK admitting his doubts about Wukong out loud like that, but that's fine because we have our buddy the curse to do it for him. I love it so much.

#''Nice hero speech bud! But I know—deep in your hearts you don't believe a word of that'' hello #Well I know MK certainly doesn't believe a word of that. MK let's himself drown in his past mistakes #It's just wild #s4 is wild #this post has been sponsored by the beautiful prose of the new tdp short story #Like the introspection is the SAUCE of that scene/story #And then it got me thinking about how Curse MK enables that introspection (that sauce) to be said out loud #''I know more about you than you'll even admit—to yourself or to others.'' #hmmmmmmmmmm monkie #lmk rant #lmk #lego monkie kid #lmk MK #lmk ink mk #monkie kid #I am very tired I pray to god that this is coherent

Me with the tdp s4 rn

idk the more you guys keep pushing the evil!Stella's theory, the more I think the crew won't do it( she probably will do something stupid at most in the future, but like an unintentional incident or something, not in a purely evil way)

Anyway, I really like her, she's such a baby☹️🤲💗

After the new sneak peak I am like 90% sure Callum will be kidnapped by the pirates.

I think most of us agree it's Callum who is breathing at the end of the sneak peak. And we have seen that Callum is on that ship, looking very beaten up. We also see a hand that is most likely Finnegrin.

We don't see anyone else expect Callum on the ship. Meanwhile we have a clip of Ezran doing a zipline in the pirate village.

Also in the Lost and found posters, the dragang is "lost". And in the poster we see that Rayla and Ezran seem to be very angry. While Callum has his eyed closed looking more calm.

We have never seen Ezran this angry. Maybe it is because his brother just got kidnapped? And that why the poster is called "lost" because Callum is lost?

Also in the season 5 poster, Callum is in trouble with a seamonster of somekind. And in the corner we can see Ezran and Rayla coming to save him.

I think we can say that Callum is not gonna have fun time this season.

She comes back.

Ragged and run-down, battered yet breathing, but she comes back. There’s a fresh bruise on her cheek and a permanent scar on her upper lip that changes the way she smiles, and Callum hates it—hates the way Ezran envelopes her in a tight hug while Callum is rooted to the spot, his lungs screaming for him to— 

“Ez.” Soren nudges the young king once he and Rayla have broken apart, his little brother’s hands sturdy on her shoulders. But now her gaze has lifted, locking on Callum ten feet away again, her expression unreadable if agonized. “We should, uh...”

“Oh, right.” Ezran releases her and levies a look at both of them as he and Soren exit. “Try not to burn down the throne room,” he adds, which feels one-sided, but Callum can’t bring himself to care, to tear his eyes away from her.

Rayla, just a few feet away, safe and alive and relatively whole, standing in the centre of the home he’d hoped to give her, the home she’d run away from. She’s still wearing that blasted Moon Nexus cloak, the hem frayed, the hood pushed off, the rest framing her figure.

Two fucking goddamn years.

“Rayla.”

She takes a tiny step forward even as she swallows, demure in a way she’s never been before, and he hates that too. She’s Rayla, she shouldn’t look small and scared and worn—not of him, not because of him—

“Look,” she starts, “I—”

But he’s too angry to be generous, something savage and loose in his chest. “I thought you were dead,” he says bitingly, glaring at her. “I thought—” he trails off for a second, trying to find the right words now that he can finally speak them, now that he can finally show the wound to the person who gave it to him.

“Callum—” she tries in an uncertain but still comforting tone. He doesn’t want her comfort. He doesn’t need it.

“No,” he says, pointing at her with a shaking hand. “You—you got your chance to speak. To explain.” If the letter in the inside of his breast pocket, over his heart, can be called that. “Now it’s my turn.”

And to her credit, Rayla falls silent and stays in her spot.

“You let me think you were dead for two years,” he says. “I thought you might be dead for two years, do you have any idea what you put me through—I needed you and you left me! You fucking lied to me and now you come back just because we’re in danger, not because you actually wanted to come back to me—”

“I always wanted to,” she cuts in, her voice ragged. She sounds like she’s going to cry. “I thought—I didn’t realize—” She takes in a sharp breath, steeling herself while he glares at her, his eyes burning. “I understand if you hate me.”

That incenses him more than anything else, and Callum strides forward, roaring now. “You think I’m this upset because I hate you?” he demands, grateful when she doesn’t shrink and meets his gaze instead. “You are so—”

Fucking stupid and infuriating and—

Her hand grazes his wrist, warm and real and solid, and Callum pulls her into his arms before he can stop himself. His enfolds her easily, her chest warm against his as he feels her breathe, and the tears start and they don’t stop, pouring down his cheeks. He wants to keep on yelling, but all that comes out is miserable sobs and hitched, broken syllables. 

“I thought I lost you,” he says, eyes wielded shut to try and stem the flow. It doesn’t. He bows his head and sobs into her shoulder. “I thought I—”

Rayla’s arms encircle him like a safety net, her small, soft hand curling over the nape of his neck. Stroking and soothing. “It’s okay,” she says, even if she’s trembling under his weight and her own emotions. She holds him tighter. “It’s okay,” she promises, a few tears spilling over her own cheeks as she tries to keep it together. She gives him a squeeze. “I’m here. I’m not leaving, ever again.”

He doesn’t know how long they stand like that, only that his face is blotchy but dry when they finally separate, and he’s more tired than he’s ever been in his life, which is saying something. He doesn’t let go of her, though, keeping his arms snug around her waist and mid-torso, and Rayla doesn’t part any further, either.

It's as natural as breathing when he raises his head and rests his forehead against hers, closing his eyes. Their breaths mingle softly together.

“I’m sorry,” she whispers hoarsely, and he lets her.

Tilts his head forward and gives her the smallest kiss, their eyes still closed. “I love you,” he says, and it means I know and I’ll forgive you and I’m glad you’re here, and I love I love I love you. 

Rayla’s hands slid up to cup his jaw, gently stroking. He can hear the tearful smile in her voice, the promise of salvation and the shoreline after two years lost at sea for both of them. 

“I love you too,” she says, and he always knew that, too, as they let out a pair of shaky exhales.

They can finally breathe.

Callum breaking the fourth wall by drawing comparisons between reality and fiction. I love characters being unaware they're part of a story.

The Cursed Coins (A Theory, edited with additional thoughts...)

For context, this is from the Season 4 Discord Q&A, Round 1, where the creators tackle question specifically about the series. (It's an excellent interview, by the way, and I highly recommend reading it. I created a Discord to read it initially but they actually put it up on the show's website and it can be found here.)

So at the end of Season 4, we see these three coins containing the souls of Runaan, Tiadrin, and Lain (which I actually predicted back in the day, so proud). But don't forget, there's a 4th coin.

The creators said we technically haven't met them yet. But they've been alluded to.

So this may be a wild guess, but...what if it's Viren's ex-wife?

This may be totally off the rails, and we may not even meet her. But I feel like the divorce/forcing the kids to make a choice made a huge impact on both Soren and Claudia. I could see Viren making the choice for them and putting her in a coin.

And maybe, when this is revealed, we will see a shift in Claudia.

One obvious loophole in this theory could be that Claudia is already in possession of the coins, and I think she would notice her mom, but...

I debated posting this and sounding like an idiot, but we're all friends here. Also, it would be pretty badass if I were correct.

Tell me your theories if you comment or reblog!

PS - I really do hope we meet Claudia and Soren's mom. I want to see the woman who was crazy enough to marry such an intense guy.

EDIT:

OKAY SO....

Another user (@shortgremlinmantdp) just added to the conversation, and their guess is QUEEN ADITI. 😱 I actually like this better than my original guess. BUTTTT I still want to leave up my original conversation because it would be cool to see Viren's ex-wife, and I hope we do see her. We've got three seasons to let it happen, so....
