Really rotating Claudia and Callum in my mind right now.
Like, they both try to keep the people in their life from leaving. They both are willing to do things some might find unspeakable for the people they care about. Callum's Devotion description in ToX is "I value those close to me more than anyone or anything" and his Liberty description is "I'm beholden to my inner circle, not some silly kingdom."
Then you have Claudia, who decided to leave the baby dragon she thought would be the eventual destruction of humanity to save her brother (which is basically choosing those close to her over the world). You also have her trying to free a great ancient evil to save her dad (which is ALSO her choosing those close to her over the world).
We've already had Callum make the decision to use dark magic for Rayla, so here's why CHET will win-

If it wasn't for the fact that Gilbert is now the family's honorary pet, Viren would've just thrown him out by now

Wanted to share my tdp playlists bc i honestly like how they turned out! 💃
Some of these were recommended by dragonprinceofficial! (a, c, v, s)
(Very in depth and thought provoking comments about my fave songs under the cut >>>)
AARAVOS
Time, Stars, Universe Pretty ethereal star god vibes
Play with Fire Whatever his beef with the Sunfire peeps, im enjoying it and am glad he is too. slay queen (literally)
Dishonored 2 Main Theme creepy ominous spider-spinning-its-web vibes ok?
Inside the Cage Listen to sexy mental breakdown song.
In the Palace ~ Agitato Creepy fucked up butterfly beast. For context watch HxH, its fun!!! 😀 (< dead inside) Also soundtrack for Aaravos losing his mind in prison and making his puppets dance till their feet bleed! 😍
Adore Adore The story can change at the roll of a dice babeyy 😎 no fr the lyrics are fire
Throne Wrath and violence on planat earth
Nosk Spider-pulling-in-its-prey vibes. Callum wyd 👁👁
Dark Matter The drama.. the vibes.. "bring me your soul bring me your ~HATE~" *insert elmo fire gif*
Black Train/End Credits ~piano~ Also death etc. etc. idek. damn should this be on viren or claudia's playlist instead? 🤔
CLAUDIA
Restless Year I always imagine her dancing or playing the bass to this. Also this song was literally written about her /lie
W.I.T.C.H. We all know this would be on her playlist in a modern au.
My Zero It's fine, she's just gradually losing grip of her family and also herself, she's losing her beginnings 😀👍 ok
Selfless "You're mucking off, but I will live for you, my selfless love". Screaming crying throwing up etc.
Fireflies Nothing to say here except that it's perfect.
A Victory of Love Objectively a bop. Songs that make me Ascend™
Galaxies Honestly im just rlly invested in the modern au where she's a bassist in a cool band and this is one of the songs theyd be playing. but also the lyrics kinda fit
Spanish Sahara She can have a little vengeance as a treat. Also trauma <3
Young and Tragic sad :( baby magefam feels :((
VIREN
The Unquiet Grave he's a corpse 👍
Werewolf Heart Thinking about Harrow, thinking about Lissa maybe. also those wolves and screams?? sir... 🧍‍♂️ Also sexy bass. what more do you want.
Mohammed Most sexy guitar ive ever heard ever im not joking. leave me alone
LA PAURA DEL BUIO lyrics fit pretty well. also this playlist has a criminal lack of angry rock songs
Fight Like Gods Lyrics and such
Way down We Go idk how to describe it without saying the word sexy again :/
The Sun Pretty 😳
Sleep Oughg (< relates a bit too much)
Ashes to Ashes idk man, its just pretty. like Viren <3 <3 <3
Into Dust damn ok tdpo
SOREN
Beautiful Day idk this just has Soren all over to me. the early sunrise wake up feeling, the hopeful optimism idk man
Uptown Funk Originally wasn't putting this in but it is Sooo S1-2 Soren. Also this
Back Against The Wall A+ rec from tdpo
Ode To The Mets I am so normal about this song so normal i listen to it a regular amount haha *insert one of those feral stick figures with blood all over*
Run Magefam feels 💃
Edge of Darkness Next on Songs that make me Ascend™. "I've got love in my heart for an army apart" :(
Fill Your Heart This is one of my fave songs ever its so joyful i love it and I love Soren
Obstacles This song is already Not Ok on its own, but combined with the Soren-Claudia feels it's an atrocity 👍 Songs for floating away on a river never to return
What's Up Ya boy might not always be the brightest but he's definitely the more emotionally intelligent one also i love him so much hhskvhvhhvhvhbv

why does each new season give me interesting crumbs in between annoying writing choices?
I finally watched the new season of tdp (didn't even know it was out) and I gotta say whatever writers left should come back please
episode one was extremely stale, maybe it's largely because I don't like how they've been writing Rayla and Callum's relationship, but it felt so forced and unnecessary of an episode all to force a "I trust her unconditionally" type of plot that doesn't even work with the information she's been hiding from Callum. Like why even hide what happened to her parents and Runaan? By now everyone is mostly aware of why the Moonshadow elves put the hit on Harrow, Rayla has been forgiven for her part in it. What purpose did that serve to the narrative other than to force the unconditional trust point that episode. A point that could have been done using the pirate town and her potentially having an arrest warrant from there, causing friction between the humans that still don't trust elves and Callum who doesn't ask her about the warrant, merely trusts that there is a good reason for it. I did really like Domina Profundis' design from the episode and I am still salty about the crap with the elf and human camp from the previous season and had to be reminded of it when Karim appeared.
episode two was better because of Claudia and Terry. Terry is great for her, love him for that, but I do dislike how much he shifts the tone during Claudia's scene considering she seems to be either being set up to stay a permanent enemy or perhaps episode nine will be her rock bottom before taking a different path. Also love all the shit going on in Viren's mind palace, poor guy needs a break.
episode three was interesting. I like the slow set up with Karim working towards taking back the kingdom via his first follower. I also really enjoyed the scenes with Amaya but it's Amaya and really hard not to like her. it does seem like tone is a difficult thing for the series to balance, and even by episode three it felt like whiplash at times between implied horrible thing and poop jokes.
episode four was probably the best of the first half of the season. It was so obvious that the book drop was going to be used as a makeshift fortress to keep out the corrupted banthers. However the episode just got laughable when the library became overrun with them. Would have been nice and cool of them to turn it into more of a zombie movie-esque situation and have corrupted elves and other animals appear, maybe even a dragon. also a little confused on how fast the corruption is supposed to work but hey, for plot reasons we need Zubeia to not become completely infected instantly, instead draw it out for several days/episodes for drama (same as the drama of whether or not Amaya and Corvus lived)
episode five was extremely predictable. Of course the first old elf ocean mage that the group meets is the one they need. We can't make this journey too complicated and heaven forbid that we take a moment to do anything, but maybe I'm still salty from the previous episode cause it seemed pretty far fetched that Zubeia couldn't just annihilate the corrupted banthers with ease and instead had to abandon Amaya and Corvus, because.... Amaya yelled for the first time on screen? BUT it did introduce my new favourite bad bitch Kim'dael, a bloodmoon shadow elf with some very interesting lore that I would have loved to see hinted at more when we were first visiting their forest.
episode six by far was one of my favourites introducing Captain Finnegrin but alas, all good things must come to an end because by episode eight he's dealt with like he was a stereotypical bully in a high school movie instead of a fearsome pirate captain.
episode seven was most interesting at two points. Janai being kidnapped by Kim'dael and the reveal of Finnegrin's ship being a giant hermit crab with a ship built around it. That was pretty sick, along with Callum literally stealing the wind from Finnegrin's ship prior to the crab reveal.
episode eight gets disappointing though with the way everything wrapped up with Finnegrin. I think I was hoping too much for that little thread of Finnegrin wanting to kill the ocean arch dragon due to wanting revenge for his first crab ship being killed by her. Really interesting, especially when he finally got the info he wanted from Callum about dark magic strong enough to kill an arch dragon. I thought it'd be really cool to see him return again, maybe even united with other antagonists at some point. BUT nope. Instead Soren uses the power of being a chill dude to convince Elmer he deserves to be treated better, and it worked somehow. Idk you'd figure a man who has been pirating over 40+ would maybe have had one or two actually loyal crew and not a bunch of essentially slaves. Seriously those kids would have been so fucked if Finnegrin had had some truly loyal men.
and lastly episode nine. Just poor Claudia, she really deserves the support she gets from Terry. Girl just wants to keep her family together. Was NOT expecting her to get her leg cut off in the confrontation, hopefully that sticks and she does some funky dark magic prosthetic for it. However the episode has left me wondering if they'll actually straight up kill Viran and use that to drive Claudia completely to the dark side, blaming Katolis and elves and dragons alike for getting in the way of her protecting her family, or will Viren live and try to walk Claudia back from the darkness? As it stands, I can totally see Aaravos forcing the dark magic spell to make Viren's resurrection permanent, but I do wonder if that was the only reason he created their freaky moth son or if there is more to that still.

ok i dont want to maintag but just finished s4 of tdp and is it just me or was it kind of wack??? (spoilers in tags)
#like i love terry. i thought viren was pretty good. ezran was great and soren was pretty good too#but everyone else just like???? felt completely ooff#which is so weird bc i feel like this show usually has such a pulse on these characters#and as someone who didnt read any of the tie in novels i felt completely lost re: rayla and callum which is. wack.#the last ep or 2 also lost me. so much deus ex machina for no reason.#why is there a lemur.#the season is called the mystery of aaravos and yet hes barely in it#and it feels like there is hardly any payoff for anything#also i feel like they did claudia so dirty like she was such a compelling character so why did her motivations change to be completely wack#in that scene with soren#i liked the amaya and janai plot but it felt so disconnected from everything#idk man i havent rewatched it in a while but s1-3 were just. good. tight writing and characters. the humor pretty much always fell flat#but thats finr#but like. ?????#wack.#bee post#the last episode is almost comical with how many fakeouts and deus ex machina there is like im sorry but i cant take it seriously#maybe i really am too old for this. watching a show at 15 wont be the same as watching a show at 19.#but like part of why i liked tdp so much was bc it never felt like it was talking down to its audience???? it told it how it was!!#like it treated the audience like it was smart and it would catch onto nuances and here its just#cheap tropes and characters that are all over the place#am i going insane???#ok anyway give me a few days to be salty about it and then i will calm down probably

WAIT YOU LIKE TDP??? omg??? who are your favorite characters i’m so curious 👀
Yes I do!!!!!!!!!
uuuhh can I just say everyone...? Hmm I guess I might have a soft spot for janai and amaya because well....women knights hot...also power couples... and their dynamic is lovely...
But I do really like all the other characters too, I think the designs and characterization are well made and compelling and the worldbuilding is lovely too!!! I've watched and rewatched the first seasons a bunch of times already, I can't wait for the next one, I hope it's just as good as the others!!!

Idk about you guys but I think this season finally gave us more on an insight into Viren as a human and as a father rather than a villain and a dark mage like in the previous seasons.
Like, at least to me, back in the first season it gave me the impression he almost saw Soren as replazable, more like a subordinate and not his son. Like he wouldn't care about whether Soren came back from looking for the princes or not.
This time though, he's openly very affectionate with his vision of baby Soren. He explicitly said 'l love you too', played with him, and desperately said he'd do anything to bring him back when he thought he was gone.
It's almost like the villain, dark mage part of him died with him, and Claudia only brought back her and Soren's dad.
I 100% think Viren was a bitch before because the dark magic did currupt him down to his soul and not only his appearance. Claudia said it was like a reset when he came back, so maybe that's why he's acting like this now: He's back to being almost fully human, not a dark mage. And that's also why Claudia is going more and more off the deep end every single time she uses dark magic.
There's a price to dark magic, and I think it not only takes the life of the animals and insects used to conjure a spell. It takes a part of the user's own humanity too.
Edit just to say: maybe this is why Callum is so crossed about dark magic too. He's very intuitive, so it's not only that he thinks it's immoral, but when he did dark magic the first time he felt something shift and he knows it comes with a higher price than everyone thinks. Maybe that's also why he's not phased by the idea of killing Aaravos while Ezran looks horrified at the idea.
