COVID is slowly becoming a "third world" disease. While first world countries are hoarding vaccines, having doses for populations many times their size, third world countries can't get any because pharma companies want to sell to the first world countries first. Even then, first world countries will receive them first. While rich countries recover from COVID, they will forget about the pandemic while many other countries live the absolute worst moment of the pandemic without being able to vaccinate their population.

I painted Aaravos because I had no thing to do on a 5 hour bus ride and also I feel like The Dragon Prince personally attacked me with this character’s design.

It has come to our attention that we forgot Ava’s birthday on December 9th! While we are very sorry, Ava does not seem to mind what day her birthday is celebrated. Ava is a wolf. So let’s just celebrate today! Happy late birthday, Ava!

One of those public chats that we have now, though I don't know how it works (I've only joined some for other fandoms). Or a discord chat, if needed.
I think there would be at least some of us interested. If not, well, we can do all the work around this house.
For now, I would love to see a fic about the Lost Days. How do they recruit the guards that left Viren's army? How do they get to Duren and what happens while they get there? I think it would be interesting to explore, plus Queen Aanya could make an appearance too and I love that young queen!
Since I'm very new to the fandom, I don't know if this is a rarepair or not, but guys: Opeli and Corvus. They'd be such a power couple with only Ezran's safety and best interests at heart.

I have to say 'Opus' has a nicer ring to it!
I'm a bit bummed about the fact that only a few fans are interested in them, though, because I really would love to see those two interact more.
On the other hand, I feel compelled to produce content for them now...

Ezran: Okay, give me the bad news first
Callum: Lord Viren has created an army of monster soldiers and will be here by sunrise for the final battle
Ezran:
Ezran: And the good news?
Callum: Rayla and I are now a thing!

I see other people have already answered with the justification of how deeply hurt Claudia was by her mother leaving, how terrified she is of choosing between family members and how that makes her especially vulnerable to Viren's brand of manipulation.
I'd like to add that we already see her go to extremes in S2, when Soren was hurt, that family is more important to her than anything else, and that when Soren leaves, he's making the same choice as their mother (stay with your father, but I have to leave).
I agree that the character arc should have been a bit more developed, but to be honest, what I'm expecting is a Claudia that goes full dark path. A Claudia that makes terrible choices for supposedly good reasons, and a Claudia that comes back from all that because the show is all about children deciding that they don't have to follow in their parents mistakes.
But Claudia is younger than Soren and more vulnerable in this—she trusts their father loves them, unlike Soren who never felt loved by the man—so it should be more difficult for her.
Anyway, the point of this is: I agree with you in that this should have been better done, but I have faith in (possible) future seasons commiting to the show's overarching message and theme.
I had no huge problems with Claudia’s arc, right up until
this moment:
So this is Claudia, who in previous seasons:
could never have stomached the thought of killing the princes, so much so that Viren didn’t trust her to ‘do the right thing’ and tasked Soren instead (even this season when Claudia confronts Viren in the dungeon, Aaravos warns that Viren will lose her if he tells her the truth)
at the Moon Nexus went ham on Soren because he kept lying about how King Harrow was still alive
has consistently shown that despite her differences with the princes over dark magic, she genuinely believes her job is to protect them from harm and secure Ezran’s kingdom for him (even if it means locking him away)
But here, Viren (or the illusion of him) is about to go all stabby stab on Ezran and she is completely fine with it??
Yes Claudia knows Viren is an illusion, but she ALSO knows that Soren thinks he’s real. Given the sum of her actions and character development up until this point, it makes more sense that she would take Soren’s side on this one.
Not to mention, the way the scene panned out made it seem like illusion-Viren had the capacity and was going to kill Ezran. HOW and WHEN did Claudia go from “Dad if I find out you ordered the princes killed we’re DONE” to “SOREN I can’t believe you stopped illusion-dad/real-dad from killing Ezran how could you!!”
The answer, the show is trying to feed us, is this:
That’s it.
We’re meant to believe Claudia has thrown out her entire moral compass - which ok includes murdering magical creatures and elves, but also an unquestionable and deeply ingrained loyalty to the princes - because Soren leaving totally broke her, to the point where she will now unthinkingly obey Viren in all things.
Forget how she disobeyed Viren by saving Soren instead of capturing Zym - that independent, free-thinking Claudia no longer exists.
The only thing I can think of to ‘justify’ this character swerve is that having designated Callum and Ezran as traitors for fighting with the elves and dragons, Claudia has decided that all bets are off.
But we see none of that onscreen. And come on… Claudia will turn against the princes, but Soren won’t? I mean I love Soren and I love where he went this season, but HOW? other than ‘welllp bet you viewers didn’t see that one coming! subverting expectations!’
This ‘Claudia cracked, Soren came through’ development swings dangerously close to the Hysterical Woman trope (which “characterizes women as less rational, disciplined, and emotionally stable than men, and thus more prone to mood swings, irrational overreactions, and mental illness… even when it would be out-of-character.”).
And re: the ‘Claudia is all about family’ thing. This could’ve been a compelling reason with some character development post Episode 3, but we get nothing. Instead, we must accept that Claudia’s own internal moral logic has suddenly, and without reason, gone to shits. She witnessed the mutilation of Prince Kasef (now a mindless, raging beast devoid of all previous personality - essentially, a murder of the soul) and still stuck by Viren despite knowing that that’s what he would’ve done to Soren. Viren and Soren are both family; it doesn’t make sense for Claudia to defend the party who breached the ‘protect your own’ rule.
Claudia is my favorite character aside from Rayla, and although I’d prefer she ended up a Chaotic Good, I’d also be okay with a Super Dark Claudia arc - if done well. But if the writers are planting sloppy seeds for a ‘Claudia Goes Mad Queen’ type arc a la GoT I will scrrrreeam.
This was the ONLY thing that really jarred me in what was I think the best season of the three (HELLO JANAYA). Someone please help - I’m open to the idea that I might be missing something here???
PS. Some are making Azula comparisons, but I just don’t see it. Azula was written as brilliantly cold and callous right from the start, familial relations be damned, whereas Claudia, while written as the champion of dubious and grey morality, had some very clear moral lines around loyalty to friends.
