In the Running, Chapter 39: Second Thoughts

(-A modern AU of, The Dragon Prince, by acronymKing) Well, this is approaching two months later than I had expected to post, but if I don't share it now it will be even later so ... (Seriously, that's how time works, apparently.) It's a short chapter, but there are longer ones coming. Explanations and whatnot are in the after notes.

Summary:

In the wake of the #Rayllum video the Callum Prince Dating Challenge judges hold a leadership meeting. *** “Not impossible but seems unlikely,” shrugged Nyx, clearly more focused on the task of braiding hair than on the mystery of the #Rayllum video. Continued in AO3, In the Running, Chapter 39: Second Thoughts, by acronymKing

things i say that confuse and worry my coworkers:

  • “happy birthday” every time i hand them something
  • “well, that’s not ideal” whenever something is going wrong
  • “we are in the timeline that god abandoned” whenever i’m mildly inconvenienced
  • “can’t you see that your fighting is tearing this family apart?” whenever two or more coworkers are arguing
  • referring to taking medication as “eating medicine”
  • “time to go back to prison!” when putting animals back in their cages
  • referring to inanimate objects as (s)he, particularly when i break something and say “oh no, he’s dead.” this concerns them especially when i follow it up with “that’s not ideal”
  • “what are they gonna do, fire me?”

I work in a blood bank, and constantly refer to blood types as flavors, such as “Oh, you need two units? What flavor is he?” And my older coworkers just look at me confused but my coworker that’s my age doesn’t miss a beat and responds “A Pos”

this is probably my favorite comment on this post so far

If these responses truly concern your coworkers, they need you more than they realize and you should probably get a raise.

One of the sweetest things is when you post a new work on AO3 and then one of your old works gets a comment because it means that somebody read the new thing and liked it so much that they went and checked what other stuff you wrote and they liked that enough to tell you about it and I just think that is so fucking precious!! thank you thank you thank you to the people who do that, keep doing it it's the best feeling as an author

Really loving that this says, “gets a comment.” Kudos are a warm fuzzy, but a nice comment is like a bottomless cup of your favorite hot drink all day.

(Tldr at the end) Okay here goes.

People really misunderstood Callum in episode two, s7 (that's okay, the writers didn't do a great job of conveying what I'm about to say, no hate to them though) Callum did not betray Ezran

I see a lot of people criticizing Callum for prioritizing Rayla instead of Ez and saying Rayllum is toxic because it got in the way of familial relationships. But that's not what Callum's actions were really about, they weren't about "oh rayla is upset so I'm going to burn down all bridges for her" like a lot of people seem to think. His actions had a lot to do with Rayla but they also had a lot to do with the fact that Callum genuinely believed what Ezran was doing wasn't right.

(btw I'm writing this with Callum's opinions in mind, I'm not just projecting mine on Callum. I believe Runaan did something wrong and deserved punishment for it, and I believe both Rayla and Ez were both right and wrong. I am on everyone's side)

Agree with everything here, but want to add that if everything had been equal, Callum totally should have chosen Rayla … that’s the “for better or worse” part of love. (Note the “all things being equal” part of that sentence, please.) If you choose your birth family over your partner, your relationship is broken. If your partner ever pushes so hard that you can’t stand with them against all comers, you’re on life support and probably looking at serious counseling or the plug.

For me it's how relaxed and unfazed Callum looks, tbh. He doesn't get flustered, he doesn't even take a second to be surprised and collect himself. It 100% confirms to me that he and Rayla have either had a discussion (even loosely) about how they want children someday, or it's something that at least Callum has given enough thought to that the idea of it is something he finds comfort and happiness in, and that's just so incredibly sweet

Everytime Callum got down on one knee before Rayla.

Bonus :

"Oh, nice. Moon ones are the prettiest. "Yeah, I think so, too." 4x08

Extra bonus :

Everytime Raylla got down on one knee before Callum

Do not let them erase this. Do not let them tell you he meant "my heart goes out for you."

This man is the grandson of a Canadian Nazi sympathizer who moved to South Africa BECAUSE he thought the apartheid was just the coolest.

He has a gaggle of kids specifically because he believes his genes are superior and need to be spread to improve humanity.

He has thrown his support behind the neonazi party in Germany and the far right party in the UK, not to mention how far he's wormed up the ass of the Republican party.

He threw two sieg heil salutes back to back at the inauguration of the president of the United States and is trying to scrub the evidence off the internet.

Elon Reeve Musk is a fucking Nazi.

I predict that we will see an increase in such displays, as well as appeals to nationalist causes, as a way to test the resistance and dull the masses… if the temperature rises slowly, will anyone notice? If people are distracted by inane talk of renaming the Gulf of Mexico, will they notice that voting rights have been dismantled?
