So I'm rereading Patience and Ripples and I noticed something...
The photo of Aaravos in the rain clearly shows him crying.
You can see the streak of water start right about where his eye is, right down his cheek. This had me thinking, isn't this moment quiet similar to this one...?
And in this, Aaravos is looking at a reflecting of himself. Not only do we see a mirror/reflection motif (in both the shows and the stories), it also sheds some light on our Startouch Elf's situation...
He references a fallen star in Ripples. Pretty sure that he and it are one in the same.
He also keeps references how the other Startouch Elves are arrogant, too caught up in themselves and their own greatness to notice how small actions (ie, humans - particularly, how the wise human touches the water and literally causes it to ripple or 'distort their reflection') can have huge consequences.
Aaravos does not like his Startouch Brethren. He does not speak highly of them in either stories.
On the contrary, while he acknowledges that humans have weaknesses (and talks down upon them tbh), he also credits them for teaching him two valuable lessons - patience and consequences (ie, 'ripples').
I would say the first image - the one of Aaravos crying in the rain - is a teaser and a throwback to whatever conversation he is having with The Merciful One - who, as I have already posted, is probably not that merciful. And you know the creators have all this planned out already and love to drop little hints without us even knowing what's happening.
This is all really fascinating food for thought as we head into S6. I already mentioned that Aaravos is going to be regarded in a sympathetic light. My bets are that he was cast away by his own people (perhaps over someone he loved, as he references love in the S6 teaser - yes plz) and has something to prove to the other Startouch Elves who outcasted him - be it revenge or something similar, who knows.
Damn. I do love this show.

maybe the notes fans took from NYCC on 6x01 in the scene with ‘Aaravos crying, the Merciful one approaching and someone saying something about being connected by love’ were these lines- “We are, all of us, stardust. Held together by love, for an instant.” said by Aaravos in the TDP S6 Teaser

For those of us who weren’t able to go to the last few events (I don’t remember what the name was. Some kind of convention?) or log in to Geekend Week, is there a place where we can see the updates?

Callum: Rayla and I are friends. Best friends. We love each other but we’re not destined to be together.
Opeli: Okay then here’s a list of potential suitors I think you may—
Callum: What? No I’m not marrying anyone but Rayla.

Very veeeeery quick sketch from the S6E1 summary from NYCC that I couldn’t hold back from reading. I’m away all day tomorrow, and I don’t think I’ll finish it, so just posting it as is, below the line, since it’s obviously a bit spoilery (not VERY, without context, but still)
This is what my drawings look like when I super rush it, ahaha

If season 6 has more than one Callum intro I think we're doomed 😳
Honestly, I feel like S6 could reverse the intro situation. 1 with Viren, 8 with Callum 😖
Since we now know that 6x01 has Viren's statue crumbling, I'm not sure how this 3-month-old theory holds up. I wrote this in my notes back in August.
