I Think The Problem I Have With The Dragon Prince (beyond A Surprising Lack Of Dragons), While Finding

I think the problem I have with the dragon prince (beyond a surprising lack of dragons), while finding most of it decently entertaining, is that by far the most interesting aspect of their magic system is dark magic and the other magic doesn't even remotely compare to the point where it feel unintentionally imbalanced. Not to sound like Viren but it IS clever and practical and until any of the other kinds of magic can prove that they're able to cure full body paralysis for the price of a single deer (who get hunted for their meat daily anyway) they don't hold a candle to it.

Yes, other dark magic spells bad, don't trap people in coins forever, but like, for a series that likes to dip its toe into grey morality sometimes, it's weird how 'we should evaluate spells on a case by case basis instead of painting all of a certain kind with the same brush because some of them are incredibly helpful' doesn't seem to be the final conclusion the series is/was headed towards. Am I supposed to give up all helpful drugs because some of them are poisonous or addictive? No, it's about which ones are used in which context and in what amount. Maybe 'regulations good' is just too boring a conclusion or something.

the dragon prince tdp viren I don't know why so much fantasy will just make up moral dilemmas to firmly choose one side of Like bro this is your story you could just write the nuance in magic isn't real It's like making up a guy to be mad at but with dark/blood magic or necromancy Like why would you create a form of magic intended just to be evil and everyone is bad for using it So you create a convenient indicator for the audience to quickly flag which character who is meant to be a bad person So you don't feel bad for killing th - oooh that's why

Viktor has some kind of mind-reading power, right? That's how he knows random stuff, like that Jinx's old name was Powder.

And Jayce was sent back to our main dimension BY Viktor to persuade Viktor not to do any glorious evolution shit because it doesn't work (because it starts an apocalypse for some reason).

So instead of immediately blasting Viktor, why didn't he just... Let Viktor read his mind so he could understand the consequences of his actions? If I'm not mistaken, didn't he end up doing that in the end anyway?

It's not like he doesn't know it's an ability Viktor has. The other Viktor would have told him. So...???

In My Years In This Fandom I've Seen A Lot Of Posts That Assume Viktor Deeply Resented Jayce For The

In my years in this fandom I've seen a lot of posts that assume Viktor deeply resented Jayce for the time they've spent on hextech or angrily imply he's 'sick of being jayce's assistant' (that's not his job, they're Partners, people.)

so today I bring you a very relevant reel of Viktor in his natural habitat utterly happy in his zone and proud of the work they do together btw. Actual stars in his eyes, if you even care

jayvik the arcane Best post..... I see some people writing jayvik who don't even seem to like one half of the ship tbh Sometimes it feels like I'm being sold a mislabelled product. U promised me jayvik. I just see vik and some other guy you're begrudgingly writing I don't like a lot of those viktor x reader fanfics but at least they're containing the people who just like viktor by himself Instead of them feeling obliged to include another character they clearly don't like Still not reading them tho. U kids have fun

Really feeling the same pain as when httyd3 came out right now. They should invent a finale to my favourite things that are good

This is a delayed reaction because I watched act 3 pretty much as soon as it came out and I've been processing all that for days There were definitely moments I liked. Whole scenes even. But they would have hit better if the narrative they were part of wasn't so I don't know. Bizarre I guess Act 3 felt like fanfic to me. Which isn't something I enjoy saying because I've read really good fanfic including of arcane But it did noott feel like the same writers were in the room at all And maybe they weren't. I did hear some layoffs happened
