Do you know the Mushroom Mage?

Can I offer you a nice egg in these trying times? | too many fandoms on my main so I'm making side blogs | the-goose-ferret is my main blog | expect many fan theories, meta and a little bit of fanart | season 5 was so good that it made me go dragon and mage crazy again | patiently waiting for season 6

why you should watch tdp

taggin ma moots that (as far as I know?) haven't seen/finished tdp @badgebadge314 @thesmileystudio @pseudocyance @bluetbluish

we can suck it to Netflix

good adult themes without being crazy gory and keeping the goofy

ATLA references

good queer rep that for the most part doesn't feel forced

NEURODIVERGENT REP THAT'S CANON ADJACENT

well written villains that don't drive you up the wall

if we can greenlight arc3 we can suck it to Netflix

fantasy (a love me some good fantasy)

main boy is a massive awkward nerd and we love that for him

Animation is suuuuper pretty

rayllum

jokes are mostly pretty funny

jack de sena

It's a pretty goofy show most of the time while still being genuinely good

We can suck it to Netflix

THE MAGIC SYSTEM IS REALLY COOL

Actually a fair amount of extra products if you like owning things - graphic novels, jewelry, an art book, novelisations, a board game that's actually super fun, and a TTRPG

RAYLLUM

The fandom is small but very nice it's really easy to make friends (don't look at twitter or reddit)

people who've seen the show feel free to add things I'm super tired right now so I've definitely forgotten stuff

I think you forgot: We can suck it to Netflix 😆

On a serious note though, this show is amazing, go watch it if you haven't. Reasons why you should are mentioned by prevs 🥰

[juice-thief-frog]

It's soooooo beautiful!

LOOK AT IT

so preettyy

[sunfire-shield]

Haven’t seen anyone talking about this little moment in ep8, with Amaya trying to comfort Janai, who is weeping on the arm of the old Sunfire throne in the abandoned throne room of the corrupted and monster infested capital as the world ends outside, partially because her brother betrayed them, and then got himself killed, right in front of her. It’s an incredibly soft and sweet Janaya moment but oh my god is the context sad and dark

[sarasade]

We love to see TDP's two weirdest (and most traumatised) characters hanging out

[weebssecretattic]

Sir sparklepuff is Leola's half-brother send tweet

[wolf-pearl]

Anyways Sparklepuff should have been a fluffy moth lad.

[spectrophobiia]

so i did a thing

[liliesnprongs]

something about how callum’s father had a breathing related/respiratory disease. something about how callum’s first arcanum was the sky arcanum, how his most signature spell is the breathing spell (aspiro). something about how soren had a wheezing/coughing/respiratory disease as a child. something about how soren had possibly the same issues as callum’s father and how Soren is like a brother figure to callum. something about how viren turned to dark magic to save soren. something about how the only two times callum used dark magic it was to save his loved ones. something about the parallels between callum and viren, the two high mages.

[daikhenkhi]

Damn, Viren fumbled a bad bitch huh

[sarasade]

Being favored by Viren didn't end so well for Claudia either.

[raayllum]

I think a lot about how the series talks about fear as an emotional reaction worth honouring, to be honest. There's the obvious parallels between ignoring a person's fear as a part of de-personalization from being an assassin

RAYLA: The human, he looked up at me, and I saw the fear in his eyes! RUNAAN: Of course he was afraid! But you had a job to do!

as well as something you can revel in if you're too twisted by that time, or in that moment, to see it as the warning sign that it is

CLAUDIA: You're used to humans running away, aren't you? Running, hiding, cowering. All through history dragons have had the power while humans lived in fear. Well times are changing. [...] It won't follow us. But not because it's trapped. [Grinning] It won't follow because it's afraid of me.

but also most evidently here as something Viren ignored in his wife, and was ignored in his son because "There was one more ingredient I needed, something so simple and easy: her tears."

And I knew she was right. I had become a monster.
