Here are some Rayllum drawings that I have been procrastinating over 😛💖

Rayllum Big Bang 2019

The Lost City - by CyanideTeacups A great story written by a great writer.

The way this person writes, omg you will be mesmerized, and yeah I’m kinda biased because this awesome hooman was my partner, BUT DUDES. READ IT! I picked out my fav two scenes (plus Cyanide is also a sucker to Dance/Ball Tropes so that was a given). AND short hair! Rayla is also a fave of mineeee~ Bonus Concept Art:

So y’alls, this is kind of random because it’s not about The Legend of Korra, or Avatar, but about The Dragon Prince.

(Inspired from @raayllum​. absolutely amazing!!)

In 3x04, I’m like 90 percent sure that that’s the episode where Callum confesses to Rayla, and my heart-

I think we all need to take a moment to realize just how upset Rayla must feel. Considering that first of all, Rayla was forbidden from her home, she left for days, still carries the distant guilt-ghost and burden of almost killing Ezran, and all of her parental figures dying, I can’t imagine how horrible she must feel. And on top of that, she has to go on a huge journey to deliver the dragon prince, fight in a war and figure out how to save the biggest amount of people. She’s forced to keep on battling in her worst days, and she doesn’t have a choice.

She’s finally breaking down in that episode, and I can’t even explain how horrible she must feel.

But the catch is? Imagine having someone like Callum telling you that you are enough. You’re upset, upset with the world, upset with yourself and you feel so angry and frustrated. The thing I love about The Dragon Prince is how well Rayllum was built, and that people are just really being so understanding. But not enough people understand how much Rayla went through, and just how comforting it is to understand that someone is there for you.

Imagine being at your lowest point, times ten and that’s what Rayla felt like. Rayla comes from a family and place where vulnerability is seen as despised as weak, so I can only imagine just how upset Rayla felt with herself after releasing all her bottled up feelings bit by bit. Rayla is forced to build up walls, so now, having someone like Callum, her former enemy reaching out to her, can be just so powerful and amazing.

So now imagine this: your former enemy reaches out to you and tells you that you are valid, that you’re more than enough.

Imagine the person you least expected to even talk to you about your feelings, to tell you that you’re valid and you are important. 

He’s telling Rayla that she’s more than enough.

Just shut up. You’re talking crazy, just listen to me. You’re too good to feel this bad about yourself. I know that, and you should know that.

You have true courage and a big heart. I’ve seen you get knocked down so many times before, and every single time, you get up again. That’s true strength. And... you’re ten times funnier than any human I ever know.

[Rayla laughs]

This is what I want to talk about: Rayla is actually going through so much right now. Rayla is forced to hide up all of her feelings, and use fighting as a strategy to release her anger, which isn’t a very safe way. She’s forced to put up barriers and really can’t do enough to make her feel better, and she’s carrying the guilt of over five people (Tiadrin, Lain, Ethari, Runaan, almost killing Ezran, Callum’s stepdad...), and feels like she can’t tell anyone. We’ve all had low points, but imagine being at your lowest, worst point and having someone come for you, follow you, not reject you and stay with you.

Notice just how quickly her expression changes around him. That’s how much reaching out to someone can help you.

See, you know you’re amazing. You’re smart, fast, and beautiful. Rayla, you’re the most amazing person I’ve ever met.

AND GUESS WHO’S CRYING???

Today is national world mental health day. Please take it easy today, and know you are valid!! Stay safe, do what makes you happy and know that you’re loved.
