Just finished hellish rebuke so Iâm updating the playlists
Ok, I'm really getting tired of seeing people saying Aaravos is manipulating Claudia and I don't know if those people are watching a different show or seeing the show through a different lens but clearly, they turned a blind eye to the intention of this scene:
Aaravos confesses the whole truth about Viren to Claudia.
Then Claudia confessed that she KNEW Viren wasn't in the in-between and that she has been going along with Aaravos by her own free will.
Aaravos even asks her if she knew he wasn't there, then why would she want to invert the Nexus?
And that's when she asks Aaravos to give his full reasoning for opening up the Nexus. And he does. He becomes vulnerable to his true feelings.
Then Claudia stays by her own agency.
There is no more manipulation. They are now both on the same page.
Those of you saying after this that he's manipulating her have completely turned a blind eye to this scene for some reason and I really don't know why. Its a beautiful scene where two people who have both been through immense trauma have bonded and have become family. They have both lost someone and are now walking the same path together whether good or not.
I spoke about it in my post yesterday so I won't go too much into detail here but you can even see it in this scene:
Terry and Soren hatch a plan to use an illusion of Claudia's mum to get her away from Aaravos (now THATS manipulation) and Claudia says to Aaravos that she will handle it and guess what? He respects her wishes and stands back.
Even when the illusion version of her mum comes out from the Nexus, Aaravos doesn't say anything. If he really was manipulating her, he would have tried to stop her but no, he gives Claudia the breathing space to do what she needs to do and stays back.
Aaravos had given her a chance for an out earlier at the Nexus and Claudia went with him by her own free will so if she chose her mum, Aaravos would have respected that. Especially from the language he was choosing here by letting Claudia take the reins in this situation. It was about her, not about him. Why is this stuff being overlooked?
There's even proof in the openings:
Season 6 Opening:
Season 7 Opening:
Claudia no longer turns to stone and Aaravos has a much softer expression. Now why do you think that is?
That's right. She's no longer his pawn but someone he genuinely wants to see happy and healthy.
Now, lets look at the season 7 interview:
Note: Its supposed to say, "When Aaravos confessed that he does not believe Viren will emerge from the Moon Nexus" because we know that's what happened.
This is a Youtube interview from Cartoon Universe with the creators of The Dragon Prince. This was said by Aaron Ehasz himself:
"One of the things the season does, it deals with this idea of the transference - like Claudia's relationship with her father - and he's (Aaravos) sort of very aware of like she sees me as a father now and its not a perfect transference and he really sees her as a daughter - and he really does - I will not watch another daughter die, he says - he MUST save her. And so, I don't know. I do think - he's not just completely - he's not just an evil force, he has ALOT of cosmic anger to play out. He looks up at the stars "Are you watching?!" He's got a lot to work through."
Aaravos legitimately does see Claudia as a daughter and does very much care for her. There is no denying it.
At the end, Aaravos gets Claudia out of the final fight and says "I will not watch another daughter die" and you can feel how much he means those words (amazing performance by Erik Todd Dellums.) and in the way he looks at her, even though he's beaten and bruised.
He is now her father and she is his daughter.
No manipulation to be found after episode 6.
Was he once manipulating her? Yes. But not anymore. They are very much on the same page and care for each other very much as family.
Can we please move on from this whole "Aaravos is manipulating Claudia" charade now because I'm getting very tired of seeing it.
@tadpoleatemybrain okay when I first saw this, I laughed and thought âman, I would need a really big tip to just let some guy bite meâ and then I thought about the implications of that. Like getting a steady supply of blood is probably pretty expensive for a vampire.
You have a blood substitute but does it really have all the nutrients a growing vampire needs? Or is it filled with a bunch of junk to make the hunger go away? What was the testing process like? Because my mind goes to Hey, Weâve Got All These Vampires We Canât Get Rid Of. Am I More Concerned With Properly Feeding Them Or Just Making Sure They Wonât Bite Me?
How readily available is the blood substitute? Is it right next to the beef in the meat aisle? Or does that make the general public uncomfortable? Does it have its own separate store?
Iâm thinking about how when someone is starving, they steal some food from a store, but when a vampire is starving, they need to attack some guy.
Iâm thinking about how high the percent of vampires in prison would be verses humans. âare sentences different for vampires since theyâre immortal?
All I can think about is this au
I have ADHD and I do hand gestures when I'm trying to remember something
I look like I'm trying to do magic on myself
Its detect thoughts and I'm failing every god damned roll

Iâd like one order of Astarion living into the modern era and meeting someone after swearing no one else after Tav died with a side of Astarion being old and trying to figure out modern technology, please
ACTUALLY, I NEED HIM TO BE LUCIFERED. PUT HIM IN THERAPY.
Astarion: yes, well I am a vampire
Therapist, confused and jotting down notes: and how does that make you feel?
Okay hear me out: the way he gets his blood now is by paying broke college students for their blood

some people think writers are so eloquent and good with words, but the reality is that we can sit there with our fingers on the keyboard going, âwhatâs the word for non-sunlight lighting? Like, fake lighting?â and for ten minutes, all our brain will supply is âunofficialâ, and we know thatâs not the right word, but itâs the only word we can come up withâŚuntil finally itâs like our face got smashed into a brick wall and we remember the word we want is âartificialâ.
I couldn't remember the word "doorknob" ten minutes ago.

DONE!!!!!!!!!!
i hate that every time i look for color studies and tips to improve my art and make it more dynamic and interesting all that comes up are rudimentary explanations of the color wheel that explain it to me like im in 1st grade and just now discovering my primary colors
âred and green are opposites đĽ°â cool now how do i paint a tree with pinks and blues without it looking like a childâs finger painting or incongruous blobs of rainbow vomit
ok i canât explain it very well but im looking for tips and techniques for rendering art like
with specifically the highlights and colors being hues that compliment each other, donât distract from the scene, and make it more interesting/visually appealing
is it too much to ask
gonna drop some sources I have saved on Pinterest! I don't know if these all link back to the original sources so apologies for that
cohesive but still contrasting
This kind of talks about color and composition
This is a bit about landscape specifically
Values & composition
Contrast in composition
Balance in colors & values
This one's more for palette building but I think it's useful and can be applied to the other ones
Cohesion within compositions/lighting
"Chromatic fringe" - I also see people using this with shading, they bring in a transition color that is a different hue than the base color or shadow, it makes it so that less vibrancy is lost and it doesn't get muddy!
This one specifically has a lot of process behind the style of painting you're looking for!
Also one of my favorite artists who makes bright and colorful art like this is Not Sorry Art on TikTok & YouTube, her website is here and it's<3 my fav. She has some videos where you can see her process
With the oranges painting you put as an example, I noticed they painted the lighter values more toward yellow - they also exaggerated the hues of the undertones of the photo, so I'm guessing they either did it in their head or bumped the saturation up to get a closer look! I really love these paintings you shared and I definitely share your desire to paint/draw like that :)
thanks this is super helpful! /gen
