Nyx said that the obelisks create a magical barrier around the oasis. Then “anyway, here’s the Wonderwall”. DID THEY JUST MAKE HER MAKE AN OASIS PUN?????
I want to talk about how significant it is for Callum to draw Rayla: As an artist myself, I can only describe choosing a muse as a kind of really special thing. It means that she occupied his heart and head at the same time and felt compelled to translate that into sight with his hands. With his time and his attention.
There’s a special kind of care and/or love that goes into drawing someone. Especially in Callum’s emotional state. To draw something means you want to know it.
“To know something truly and deeply, you must know it with your head,handandheart. Mind, body and spirit.”
I realize this was mainly for Callum and the sky arcanum, but tell me this can’t be applied to his relationship with Rayla.
Honestly, drawing another person is such an intimate thing. Darwing portraits and such can also border on uncomfortable to me, personally. You have to embrace the other’s unique characteristics, but also their every flaw. That’s what I can add to this. For this reason, this scene stood out to me as well. It’s a subtle thing, but very significant to me.
Well, what do you get one of the major Rayllum shippers for (a very belated) Christmastide than… some Rayllum! Power couple ready to spring into action :V
Fun fact, I’m digging these designs so much I’m considering making them stickers. (obviously, if I do that, Dee, you’ll get some for free).
Anyway, with this I *THINK* that’s the entire TPD Gift Exchange for 2019 closed! I’m gonna look real dumb if there’s still someone I missed but uhhhh let me know if that’s you :[
I have two Rayllum OCs, Sara and Rune! Sara is the only Rayllum OC included in AJTTP bc Rayla and Callum decided not to have another kid because ~trauma~ so Rune isn’t in that story. However, in future stories I write, I want to explore Rune’s character!
The only tip I can give on dialogue is if you can’t imagine someone saying it, don’t use it. Dialogue should feel predictable and comfortable to read because it’s what we’d say or hear. It should be expected, not confusing and unnatural. Introspection and descriptions are where you can get creative and artsy with verbiage. But that’s just my opinion, so take it with a grain of salt! :)
