what ao3 would look like with ads. no, you do not want this. support ao3 because it’s one of the last few places on the internet that is not tainted by capitalism bullshit. support ao3 because it’s one of the last few places on the internet that is genuinely about the connection between audiences, artists, their works and the love/passion artists have for what they do

One of the things I love about the family relationships in tdp, in this case Callum & Ezran, is that like, any conflict they have against eachother in those two Arcs would be about ANYTHING... except for "throne inheritance"/"bastard son" drama.
Like yeah, Callum had a *lot* of self-consciousness that he was only really king Harrow's stepson and how he's "not a real part of the royal family", and in a lot of media with this trope, the royal parent is always a distant/abusive jerk in some way in a typical "your no child of mine" style, but Harrow was a great dad and viewed Callum as his son. Callum was treated like a member of the royal family because he was in every way that mattered, With or without Sarai
So while there *is* conflict about family ties and the "am I really apart of this family" insecurity, neither of the brothers weaponize the whole "step-royal and crown prince" thing against eachother. Which imo, is super refreshing in step-sibling tropes.
When the brothers have opposing views or are fighting with eachother, it will be because of general sibling annoyingness, their father's death, etc. it is NEVER about "I hate you because you're the real son and will inherit the throne even though I'm older/I resent you because you were given everything" . Which is very neat
To put it simply, im glad Ez will never say "I'm Harrow's son and you aren't" and Callum will never say "I should've inherited the throne because I'm older"

And I know you're worried at night
I won't find my way
And I'm tired of lying to myself
Just to get through each day
My head says I should've never left
And then my feet will soon lead to my death
I'm starting to question
If God's trying to teach me a lesson
I'm starting to wonder
If my true colors changed since I left ya
I used to shine bright like gold
Now I'm all indigo
My colors are darker and cold
I think it's time that I went home
And I don't understand why I always feel
Dead and alone
I used to shine bright like gold
Now I'm all indigo
I gave up a piece of my heart
Then I turned to run
Oh, my head's in the clouds
But I don't feel close to the sun
And the light fades away from my face
And the tears fall like rain
And so I turn my words all into faith
Hope it's me that they save
I'm starting to question
If God's trying to teach me a lesson
Lord knows I'm starting to wonder
If my true colors changed since I left ya
I used to shine bright like gold
Now I'm all indigo
My colors are darker and cold
I think it's time that I went home
And I don't understand why I always feel
Dead and alone
I used to shine bright like gold
Now I'm all indigo

It’s interesting how diseases rip through schools at incredible speeds despite being in an arguably modern, clean(ish) environment. I wonder if it has something to do with the whole “you need a doctor’s note to excuse your absence of even one day” combined with the average price of going to a doctor, the lack of education on things like “you’re still contagious even after the fever goes away”, and the overwhelming message of “if you don’t struggle through it, you’re a failure!”
On my campus there tends to be a problem where even I you have the doctors note professors will still take points off of your final grade regardless of how sick you are. I’ve seen people show up to class with the stomach flu, pneumonia, respiratory infections and all sorts of other contagious ailments.
Here’s a fun story:
The school system I grew up in put an absolutely ungodly amount of pressure on kids to Show Up Every Day No Matter What. Many schools are like this, but looking back, my town’s was borderline fucking dystopian. They asked me why I didn’t just “postpone” a surgery at one point— when I was fifteen— to give you an idea of how monumentally obtuse these people were.
So, in elementary school, I started having chicken pox symptoms, right? They were mild because I was vaccinated (yay!) but my mom recognized them quickly and took me to the doctor, because my mom is a reasonable human being with standards. The doctor said “yup, you’ve got those pox, it may seem mild but please for the love of god DO NOT take her to school, she is very contagious even though she may FEEL okay.”
So I had to stay home from school until I got clearance from my doctor to go back. I was an angry little gremlin the whole time, because I wanted to go to the school library and read books about the human skull, but my mother said, “no, you cannot leave this house, and do not scratch the bumps please.” So I sat at home and tried not to scratch the bumps, like a good little gremlin.
A few days into my Chicken Pox Related House Arrest, we got a letter from the school. I was far from the only person with chicken pox, as it so happened. Like… a tenth of my second grade class had Confirmed Pox. We all fell ill within DAYS of each other.
So how did this happen, you ask? Well, a kid had chicken pox, and he came to school anyway. “Ah, well perhaps they didn’t know,” you may very well say. “Maybe his parents didn’t notice!” No. No, they noticed. In fact they KNEW it was CHICKEN POX. They sent him to school anyway.
The kid’s parents…….. were, in fact, teachers at the school. And they KNOWINGLY made him go to school sick, because they didn’t want to risk hurting his precious “perfect attendance” record. They figured that since he wasn’t, like, Literally Dying, it was better for him not to miss school. Never mind the fact that they were actively endangering hundreds of little kids.
Fast forward to my freshman year of college. A kid came to class with mumps because he ‘couldn’t afford to miss’. Guess what happened? Mumps outbreak! Diseases are, as it turns out, good at being diseases! Vaccinations are phenomenal, but they can only do so much, and some people rely on herd immunity to not be killed by preventable illness.
This entire attitude needs to die. It’s dangerous. Food service workers are forced to show up sick, little kids are forced to show up sick, college students show up sick because they’re afraid of flunking out.
And on top of it all, misinformation campaigns are encouraging people not to get vaccinations! It’s 2019 and we’re flirting with the plague! Next thing you know some blogger is gonna be like “actually we should all be fucking rats and eating our meat raw, death to all science and god bless america”
Many kids at my school will show up really sick because we only get like three days of excused absences without a doctor’s note.
this is what those in literary academia call “foreshadowing”
(note the dates)
this post aged like an ice cube in an oven
worst part is! IT’S STILL HAPPENING! SCHOOLS AND WORKPLACES ARE STILL LIKE THIS!!! THEY LEARNED NOTHING!!!!!!!
tbh it’s worse at workplaces now that everything is more expensive. Even if I wanted to do the responsible thing and take time off for being sick, that means missing pay; which I could really only do for a few days before it means missing rent, getting evicted, and dying in the snow.
I just realized that many many people have jobs
Rb with your job, wtf do you people do while offline???
Saw an adorable pic that inspired this
Also the idea of Claudia now being able to create illusions is ✨not good✨ for the gang
Right There With you on THAT!!
she does have a moon primal stone in that staff soooo 😬
And now I bring to you my commission drawn by @tategaminu…..
ARC 3 CALLUM 😭🙌🏽
His hairstyle here is a mix of what we got in the silhouette and original concept art including the ponytail from the teaser because I grew to love it 🥹❤️ And of course my favorite beard B from the beard gate concepts. 😊
Here are the reference pics used! 😁
Really want to thank Tate again for bringing this vision to life especially since was what I thought would look best on Callum. Make sure to go follow her and check out more of her art/commission opportunities! 👀🙌🏽
Like father like daughter…
Someone suggested if Callum can’t have the beard, we give it to the baby.
It’s a Cycle…
Sooooo how come Ezran’s allowed to have facial hair but Callum isn’t?
I’ll wait
My unwanted opinion because whatever:
No beard: I have a personal preference for this because I like smooth faces and I have never been a fan of beards. You also don't need to have a beard to be manly and I don't think all the main males on the cast should have beards. Callum also has a very nice jaw and I like looking at it.
Beard: Not bad. If the crew wants him to have a beard then cool. He's a manly man beard or not. He's 24 and 24 years old can have beards. He's very handsome and will be able to rock a good one. Plus points to remind people he's not a kid‚ he's a married who already has a daughter.
I overall don't think a beard is the problem but rather the beard design from the teaser. It makes him look older than 24 and takes away a lot of his facial design. One of my favourite things about Callum is how expressive he is but I feel like you can't tell his expressions well on the teaser because the beard is too much. I swear I had to squint to see if he was smiling or not. Maybe for a 40 yo design we won't see much sure but 24? I could get used to it that's for sure but I can't say I will be unhappy if they change it. I think people would have reacted differently with a different beard design that wasn't as dense.
I think it's valid to want him with a beard or without a beard. I didn't really mind Ezran's because it fits his age and I don't care about his design as much. I overall think people didn't mind Ezran because he's not as popular? Dunno.
It's probably b/c of his huge mustache, IMHO. It makes him look too similar to a modern hipster. It'd probably be a similar situation if they had given him modern-looking glasses. If they's given that beard to Ezran, I think it would be a similar response.
I think people are also thrown off by him next to Rayla, who looks weirdly off-model/younger than she looked in Arc 2. If they blended Callum's mustache into his beard, I think it would look better. But also, they can do whatever they want, it's their character/story. (*cue flashbacks to Aang's Amish/ no mustache look... 😅)
Obviously, real life is different than fiction, but for example, my husband is 31, and when I look at pics of him at age 18 vs. now, his face hasn't aged visibly. His jawline didn't get wider/more pronounced, no change to his overall face shape - he just grows a slight beard/goatee sometimes. And even that doesn't really age his facial features. I feel like it's his haircut that really changes what age he looks like more than anything.
''Now that Rayla's a mother she's gonna not be as badass anymore :/'' First of all: ew. Second of all: WRONG. She's gonna be as dangerous as she's ever been. When she was a teen she was 100% willing to die for the sake of the world. Now she has a family to live for. She may be an assassin who can't kill but you just know that woman would absolutely slaughter anyone that threathens her husband or baby.
The potential parallels…. 👀 the potential for angst…😭
How do I explain to people how excited I am over a fictional baby?
Your Rayllum art and stories the the best. So amazing ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Thank you! You all are making my week better. ❤️
