If he saw them!!!🤣🤣🤣
How did you react the first time you saw Rayla and Callum kiss?
Uhhhh technically I haven’t yet, so…
no that is not a request i am not old enough to see such things
she loves Lain and Tiadrin, but Runaan has been her parent in a way they haven't for years. Her birth parents chose to love her from afar, they send presents and letters on her birthday. They visited, they cared... But they were ultimately away for years. It's almost like they are godparents or distant aunt and uncle. People you love, but aren't part of your daily life. She's come to understand their decision obviously, even before having made a similar choice in leaving Callum -- but then again she later realized she wanted to be by his side more than anything else, which her parents never did.
Runaan was there. He was there with her everyday, telling her it was bedtime, making her breakfast, training her to be an assassin, collecting flowers, applying Sun's Tears healing salve the her scrapes. It's Runaan (and Ethari) she's attached to as primary caregivers. Of course it is!
what's really striking to me is the fact that Callum is holding (supposedly) Runaan in one hand separate from Lain and Tiadrin. I wonder why?
Happy 4 years of canon Ruthari
It's been 4 years since TDP confirmed that they're not here to queerbait or lead us on; that yes, we were right for thinking these characters could be queer. 4 years since this absolutely gorgeous scene in the middle of an episode filled with fraught and difficult moments. 4 years of validation, creativity, and appreciation for these happily married elves 💖 here's to hoping that they can reunite soon :)
I just. I couldn't have asked for more from that final episode. it was so incredibly in character for each and every single one of the Moonfam. that episode gave each of them their space to breathe and to finally talk about things, hitting on the most important parts. Lain and Tiadrin's struggle against Viren was not in vain. Rayla IS the last Dragon Guard and was validated by her predecessors. Runaan is a nuanced and complicated person who still deserves LOVE and he has been SAVED BY LOVE. Ethari is waiting for him. Lain and Tiadrin served their purpose, they have each other, and so they went on in peace, just as they always have. and Runaan is pulled back into the waking world by pure love and unconditional forgiveness.
It touched on so many different things that we've been waiting for and did so with such a depth of thoughtfulness, nuance, and pure love for the Moonfam. Thank you Wonderstorm.
two nickels
if I had a nickel for every time a complicated character staggered gravely injured from King Harrow's chamber
needed assistance getting out onto the balcony
dragged themselves painfully out to the end of it
dropped a scrap of fabric that revealed a blood/death motif
knelt before a powerful force that was bringing their doom
used the last of their strength to do one last attack with a magical techy artifact
collapsed among the ruins of the fate they brought on themselves
resigned themselves to their deaths
and then fell out of frame to the left
I'd have two nickels. which isn't a lot, but it's extremely cool that it's happened twice.
edit: omg tumblr do not mess with my images like this! fixed!
Something I find really interesting in TDP’s handling of Rayla and Runaan’s relationship is how easy it could be to frame him as a villain. That’s essentially his establishing role in the series, the antagonist Rayla chooses to defect from to establish her heroism. Especially with the reveal about Tiadrin and Lain, it would have been so easy to write him off as Rayla’s evil guardian who never really cared about her and pressured her to become an assassin, compared to her heroic, unjustly Ghosted real parents.
And you know what? That would have been a valid reading of the situation. But TDP never went that route. It doesn't whitewash him, but it continually reminds us that Runaan, and his relationship with Rayla, is nuanced.
He's not the best cook, but still attempts her favorite Moonberry Surprise to make her birthday special. He used her as a child soldier. He used to tease her and tell her stories. He told her it was their patriotic duty to murder a 10-year-old. She speaks well of him, even when it would be more tactful not to. He threatened to kill her when she tried to stop him from committing war crimes. He bent the laws of their people to save her life, even when he would not save his own. He raised her to kill, and what he taught her kept her and countless others alive. He haunts her narrative like a ghost. She plunged into the Spirit World searching for him — twice. She is his pride and joy.
She loves him. He's her father and she loves him, no matter what he's done.
SO QUESTION:
if the theory about Runaan’s boyfriend/lover/fiance/husband is true…
does that make Runaan our…
…’TOKEN’ GAY CHARACTER?
Would you still love Runaan just the same if his body shape changed with age? (asking to prove a point to someone)
What makes you think it hasn’t already?
I’ve known Runaan a long time, and our arcanum is all about change. He hasn’t always looked like a million moonberries. There have been days when he resembled a single squished moonberry, with fangs and a furious temper.
Runaan is not always lovable on sight. But I don’t love him for his looks. He’s cultivated a fine aesthetic, and I’m deeply appreciative of it.
It’s not what I fell in love with.
If I should be so blessed as to grow old with my husband, then I will cherish every line on his face and worship them with kisses every morning. If he gets a soft lil belly, I will blow moonberries in it to make him laugh. If he gets soft arms and he can’t draw his bowblade like he used to, I will revel in his gentle embrace and make him a different bow.
Ask me whether I’d rather a hot young husband who lives only in my memory, unchanging because he died young, or a wise, soft, and loving old husband who spent every day for the past century letting me adore him, and I’ll ask if you’ve recently acquired a head injury, because the answer is obvious, even to a Moonshadow.
Give me life over death, any day. Every day. Only the dead never change.
Give me life.

I don’t know if this would be considered a prompt but the idea of Rayla sneaking to peak a look at Runaan & Ethari’s soft moments and catching them dancing then begging them to teach her some time later will never not be adorable to me.
awww that's sweet!! I have a soft spot for the idea of rayla catching ruthari in a soft moment. especially if it's so tender and sweet that it's enough to take her breath away and have her feeling like she's in a dream.
I’m a simple gal.
I’m introduced to an male elf character with long hair… And I draw him styling it.Â
Runaan likes tea
runaan has herbal/fruit tea, where tinker drinks earl grey
i approve of these headcanons
(Adding to this)
-Karim getting humbled, AGAIN, and staying humbled this time
-Soren going to save Corvus (I so want them to get together this way)
-Amaya and Janai being two badass queens
- How the writers deal w Aravos (I rly hope they build up is worth the pay off and I'm SO curious to know how the writers do it)
Things i'd like to see in S7:
-sorvus begin canon. This is not a thing I'd like to see. It's something i NEED to happen
-Claudia and Terry have an happy ending (I'm not very optimistic about this... but both deserve it tbh)
-THE INTERACTIONS BETWEEN EZRAN AND RUNAAN. I mean, Ezran would be happy for Rayla obv, BUT HE KILLED HIS FATHER
-Runaan and Ethari reunion
- More flashbacks from Leola! (that little autistic unicorn deserved better btw)
-Rayllum! And how Rayla will absolutely fail to kill Callum and Callum obviously won't put the greater good before Rayla! (I'll cry so much in season 7)
-the mother of Soren
-how the fuck Corvus got that scar. I need to know. Please
