as an apology for my recent brief shift from tdp content. (my heart just got broken by a show about dead british people I apologize) here are some textposts

Sorry but I think it’s funny because I have a girlfriend, and my dad was low key kinda homophobic about it but ??? He watched TDP S4 with Janai and Amaya and suddenly he loves my girlfriend and I??? TDP fixed homophobia???

Date Night

It was only time I drew those two !

She thinks I'm cute!

Amaya and Janai from The Dragon Prince

Prince Karim is simply not as good at this whole machiavellian scheming thing as he thinks he is

Bonding with Aunt Janai is going well! 👍

I hope that someday Callum and Ezran can take a vacation to the Banther Lodge again, but this time with more elves! Amaya is so happy to see Janai and her nephews getting along... but also not happy that Ezran left the house without a hat-

[ Callum, Janai and Ezran sitting in the snow. The Banther Lodge and a forest is sketched messily in the background, slightly whited out by the chilly winter air. Snowflakes are slowly falling from the white and blue sky, lightly decorating the surroundings.

Janai is sitting in the middle, without her crown or any royal clothes. She's wearing a tank top, showing off the yellow, heated marks on her arms. The heated marks are glowing slightly, and she's smiling in amusement at young King Ezran.

Ezran is holding his hands out, warming them on the heat surrounding Janai. He's laughing, amazed at her powers. Ezran is wearing a red and gold oversized sweater and a big, yellow scarf. His cheeks and nose are slightly red from the cold.

Callum is sitting on the other side of Janai, laughing with his eyes closed at Ezran's antics. Callum is wearing a red beanie, his brown hair poking out under the brim. Callum's cheeks and nose are also notably red from the icy air. ]

I love how it’s the moment where Janai shows her wisdom and compassion as a leader (asking restitution of the architect in building a shrine rather than punishment in death) that her brother looses faith in her. It’s such good writing. Karim and Janai play out the theme of history as a narrative of strength vs love this season, with Karim representing strength as power, traditional and unyielding, and Janai representing strength as love and compassion. Amaya, Janai’s lover, calls for mercy. Karim, Janai’s brother, calls for vengeance. Janai walks a careful line, choosing mercy while still exacting justice. But Karim only sees weakness, only sees it as Janai turning her back on their ways. So this scene plays out the quote from season 2: “these moments of purest strength appear as weakness to those who don’t know better.” All Karim sees is weakness, because he doesn’t know better. But it is in this moment that Janai really begins to come into her own and shows the world what kind of queen she will be

PoV: you messed with the wrong family

Golden knight of Lux Aurea

Karim really heard “I lost my hope long before I lost my sight” and went “we should betray my sister so we can get his sight back :)”

I've been busy

She's a new Queen. The rising sun. The literal new dawn.

I wanna smooch her forehead. ;-;

I wanted to do some TDP fanart and had to stop myself before I just drew Viren or Aaravos again, so I went with homegirl who has what is, imo, one of the best character designs in the show.

Black women w/ gold motifs = me, sold, you should see how I reacted to Mel in Arcane. :')

I initially wanted to paint this, as the sketch was so pretty...but it was a double-edged sword. ;-; Nothing I did with colour brought it up to the standards of the sketch, and so it's been sitting in my WIPs for months, begging for liberation. ;-; Eventually decided to just go my usual cel-shading route and now I have a pretty Janai. ♥

Ft. a screencap background because it's just too hot for me to concentrate atm sobs sobs pls cool down weather i beg u-

Yall are not giving janaya enough hype COME ON

YES CALLUM LOSING HIS SHIT OVER RAYLA IS AMAZING!!

BUT AMAYA LOSING HER SHIT OVER JANAI! THAT PART WHERE SHE JUST?? FALLS TO KNEES IN GRIEF AND THEN WE SEE THAT GRIEF TURN TO ANGER CAUSE

“GOD DAMN IT I JUST HAD TO FIGHT MY WAY THROUGH AN ARMY OF SHADOW CREATURES FOR LIKE TWO DAYS MY FRIEND HURT HIMSELF AND NOW MY WIFES BEEN FUCKING KIDNAPPED!!”

PLUS!! ALL THE BED SCENES?? AMAYA COMFORTING HER!!

“i see your aunt spirit’s in you callum, and so I knew you would immediately throw yourself headfirst into danger.” Cause janai saw her wife’s dumdass almost blow herself up on a lava bridge back when they first met.

You guys have gotta appreciate their relationship more 

For the record the knowledge of a two-year time skip is making me lose my mind the number of implications this has
