Me: My standards for male love interests in books are pretty high at the moment. I got to admit that.
Author: His hair was black. His eyes were blue and his smirk was really seductive.
Also me: That will do. Sir, we’re married now.
So I know a good many of us are freaking out about the dual POV because the last time an author switched to dual in the third book from only having the main character’s POV in the first two, the main character died (if you know what I’m talking about, I feel your pain) but honestly, Feyre’s already died once. AND SJM has confirmed Feysand is 100% endgame (don’t ask me about my horrible thoughts about this because yes I have them). The dual POV almost certainly is because we’d miss a HECKUVA lot of info by not getting the night court perspective while Feyre’s in the spring court. Also, remember that ACOMAF was originally written in both Feyre and Rhys’ POVs but SJM cut out the Rhys parts (I want it) to make the mating bond a complete surprise to everyone because we only knew what Feyre knew. Don’t worry guys. The dual POV only means we get to see more of Rhys’ inner thoughts
Feyre, Bryce and Aelin ❤️

Mentally I’m here
Made by one of the writers of Avatar: The Last Airbender, this show is a cross of Game of Thrones (not the S8 decay) - Lord of the Rings - Dungeons & Dragons - AT:LA. It is a wonderful and unique show with an ensemble setting and combines political, world-building, historical, mystical, and warfare aspects.
It tells a story of a magical world that is divided between the mystical creatures (led by elves and dragons) and humans due to the invention of dark magic. The animosity between the two factions rose and eventually the Dragon king was slayed and all war breaks loose. a rag-tag team of children finds out a conspiracy and tries to return the kidnapped dragon heir, the Dragon Prince, back to the mystical lands called Xadia, bit they need to face both humans and mystical creatures that are bent on destroying each other.
It is a good show and has large potential, but its only at its 2nd to 3rd season, with the potential of being cancelled because of Netflix’s strategy on cancelling shows early to initiate new shows to hook more views, before cancelling them again and starting the cycle of creative butchery (edit: as of right now, its not in a danger zone, but its not as secure as bigger shows like Stranger Things)
So here are the reasons to watch TDP. I’ve posted this in a reblog before but I’m putting this in a post for more exposure.
POC representation. The main human characters of this show are POC, Callum being of half-Asian heritage while Ezran being of Asian-African heritage. The universe is so diverse and it doesn’t hold back in integrating culture such as Asian, Arabic, etc to its lore. As a POC I really felt like this representation is necessary and TDP served it well. It’s good for a change to see someone like yourself on screen, and children around the world deserve that too.
Characters with accurately portrayed disabilities, yet they are still toe in toe with non-disabled characters. Amaya, a badass deaf Asian warrior aunt that uses ASL openly in the show is one of my most favorite characters. Disability in media has always been underrepresented and TDP presents it in a respectful manner.
Representation of female characters. This show has a lot of significant female characters and they are all diverse in roles. And all of them slay as well. From Rayla, assassin elf with a good heart, Sarai, wise warrior queen mom, Amaya, absolute badass, Claudia, a happy-go-lucky and kind dark mage, and Aanya, a child queen that is the Lyanna Mormont of this series that speaks her mind. Women are treated as equals in this show like it should be. I think that TDP’s representation of female characters could teach young children on gender equality from an early age, which is positive and much needed.
LGBTQ Representation. TDP has directly shown a wlw queen couple and hinted that a major character is bi. It might not be as blatant as Steven Universe or other shows in its later seasons, but I think that it has potential. Its creators are very open about their support of LGBTQ and willingness to include the community, and never backed away from thoroughly discussing it.
The ambiguity of morals and other complex topics. TDP shows that the protagonists are not top-notch perfect, they have flaws. Meanwhile the villains are dimensioned as well, heck sometimes I wonder if they are villains are not. Dark magic is treated bad in the start but soon layers appear because apparently it can be used for healing or saving people for the greater good. There’s more. The blunt concept of death and how children are faced with it, complicated parent-child relationships between stepson and stepfather or parental emotional abuse, political propaganda and racism, anxiety and panic attacks. it has it all. Plus the lore and story reference many historical events and as the story unfolds, everything becomes complicated. Who’s side is wrong after all? Are they both wrong? Were they both misunderstanding each other?
INTERESTING LORE AND WORLD BUILDING. DRAGONS, DRAGONS AND ELVES AND THEIR WONDERFUL BADASS DESIGNS. JUST LOOK AT THEM. Like AT:LA there are elements, and there are creatures or beings based on those elements. They have wonderful stylistic influences based on those elements, for instance: moon elves can turn invisible, sky dragons can breathe lightning, sun elves can go super saiyan magma mode. The world building and lore is impressive too, the creators have plotted out the history of the world and the events preceding the present, it is so well-thought out and intriguing.
INTENSE BATTLE SCENES. Love them all, they have great soundtrack accompanying it too. Epic fights like the volcano battle, full moon sword fight, or a mage vs a horde of soldiers.
MEMES. NARUTO RUNNING, THE MORDOR MEME, AARPODS
Lastly dedicated creators and creative team. @dragonprinceofficial is very active in Tumblr, engaging with fun Q&A and posting fun memes or posts. It's one of the best and communicative creative teams ever, and they listen and respond.
Give The Dragon Prince a thumbs up in Netflix, tell people who might be interested on world-building fantasy to watch this wonderful show. Save The Dragon Prince
Edit: The potential cancellation might be a misunderstanding, so for people worried so very much about it (like i was), right now we're not in a danger zone. But I still think it deserves more attention than it has, for a beautiful show with by dedicated content creators.
I drew Elide and Lorcan as a commissions, and I had so much fun coloring this!
