HIIIIII I JUST STARTED S4 OF TDP (id started it before I just didn’t retain any of it so I restarted) AND OOOHHHHHHHHH ITS SO GOOD I am so glad i finally started it again
and Soren remains my favorite forever hes so <33333
YAYYYYYYY IM SO PROUD OF U
side note but i really feel like the discourse around season 4 was the way that we all watched it at first. like if you watch it right after season 3 and even with only vague knowledge of season 5 like it's a good season. but when it's been 3 years and we are thirsty as hell then it felt like it fell flat. from the very beginning tho i've felt like people were expecting wayyy too much because like. of course it's not gonna be the most action-packed insane shit ever. it's the first season of a new arc, it needs time to establish *everything.* AND it has the original to live up to so like FUCK YOU (im looking at reddit) season 4 SLAPS
not fuck you maia tho!!!!!!!!!! yay!!!!!!!

My Dragon Prince Boards season 5 part 2
Tumblr media
(I love Soren, he is my golden boy <3)
Episode 505
The first sequence of the episode is mine, when Callum, Rayla, Zym and Ezran are talking about their next steps.
This one was hard because the space at the top of the Storm Spire is so Small the character barely fit, hahahaha.
Tumblr media
I enjoyed 2 things the most about this sequence, first the little moments of Rayla and Callum on screen. Building and working trough their dynamic on the season was a fun challenge for all the board teams. I tried to channel "Proud older siblings" on this one (after all, look how much Ezran has grown!)
Tumblr media
The other thing I enjoyed is the difference on their approach for Callum and Ezran. Callum choosing the "quicker" (?) option of killing Aaravos, Ezran staying firm on his ideals of no violence. A interesting dynamic.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
My next sequence was with Zubeia and Soren.
Tumblr media
I love Soren, he is hands off my favorite character of the show (Amaya and Janai are tied in a close second place!) Jesse Inocalla is a fantastic voice actor, his range is incredible!
Tumblr media
I also love his relationship with Zubeia. This two are best friends, and no one can convince me of the opposite!
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Next sequence is with Claudia and her team. Viren is awake, but catatonic, and Claudia is starting to lose hope.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Again, Terry is too good for this world <3
Next sequence is a Karim one. This little rat, I love/hate this man. This is a small sequence when he tells Pharos about his plan to get the Sun seed to heal Sol Regem. A funny thing to do in this episode was work on Karim's body language, keep him regal all the time, stiff and dramatic. A lot of controlled hand gestures, such an idiot <3
Tumblr media
Then I had the sequence when they arrived to the Blood Moon temple.
Tumblr media
Again, more dramatic shenanigans, and fun lighting. Karim is just a drama queen.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
My last sequence of the episode was with corrupted Zubeia :(
Tumblr media
So those where my sequences for episode 505. Next post will be for 508!

In the books:
White Harbor
“Was ever snow so black?” asked Lord Wyman. “Ramsay took Lord Hornwood’s lands by forcibly wedding his widow, then locked her in a tower and forgot her. It is said she ate her own fingers in her extremity…and the Lannister notion of king’s justice is to reward her killer with Ned Stark’s little girl.” - Davos, ADwD
Winterfell:
"The bride weeps," Lady Dustin said, as they made their way down, step by careful step. "Our little Lady Arya." ... What do you think passes through their heads when they hear the new bride weeping? Valiant Ned's precious little girl." ... "Lady Arya's sobs do us more harm than all of Lord Stannis's swords and spears. - The Turncloak, ADwD
The Boltons about the Northmen marching with Stannis:
“Even ruined and broken, Winterfell remains Lady Arya’s home. What better place to wed her, bed her, and stake your claim? Let Stannis march on us. He is too cautious to come to Barrowton…but he must come to Winterfell. His clansmen will not abandon the daughter of their precious Ned to such as you. - - Reek, ADwD
The northmen marching with Stannis:
"Winter is almost upon us, boy. And winter is death. I would sooner my men die fighting for the Ned’s little girl than alone and hungry in the snow, weeping tears that freeze upon their cheeks. No one sings songs of men who die like that. As for me, I am old. This will be my last winter. Let me bathe in Bolton blood before I die. I want to feel it spatter across my face when my axe bites deep into a Bolton skull. I want to lick it off my lips and die with the taste of it on my tongue." - The King's Prize, ADwD
Stannis to Lord Commander Jon Snow:
… more northmen coming in as word spreads of our victory. Fisherfolk, freeriders, hillmen, crofters from the deep of the wolfswood and villagers who fled their homes along the stony shore to escape the ironmen, survivors from the battle outside the gates of Winterfell, men once sworn to the Hornwoods, the Cerwyns, and the Tallharts. We are five thousand strong as I write, our numbers swelling every day. And word has come to us that Roose Bolton moves toward Winterfell with all his power, there to wed his bastard to your half sister. He must not be allowed to restore the castle to its former strength. We march against him. Arnolf Karstark and Mors Umber will join us. I will save your sister if I can, and find a better match for her than Ramsay Snow. You and your brothers must hold the Wall until I can return. - Jon, ADwD
Lord Commander Jon Snow on the Wall:
"He's to marry Arya Stark. My little sister." Jon could almost see her in that moment, long-faced and gawky, all knobby knees and sharp elbows, with her dirty face and tangled hair. They would wash the one and comb the other, he did not doubt, but he could not imagine Arya in a wedding gown, nor Ramsay Bolton's bed. No matter how afraid she is, she will not show it. If he tries to lay a hand on her, she'll fight him. "Your sister," Iron Emmett said, "how old is …" By now she'd be eleven, Jon thought. Still a child. "I have no sister. Only brothers. Only you." Lady Catelyn would have rejoiced to hear those words, he knew. That did not make them easier to say. His fingers closed around the parchment. Would that they could crush Ramsay Bolton's throat as easily. - Jon, ADwD
You know nothing, Jon Snow. He thought of Arya, her hair as tangled as a bird's nest. I made him a warm cloak from the skins of the six whores who came with him to Winterfell … I want my bride back … I want my bride back … I want my bride back … "I think we had best change the plan," Jon Snow said.
The roar was all he could have hoped for, the tumult so loud that the two old shields tumbled from the walls. Soren Shieldbreaker was on his feet, the Wanderer as well. Toregg the Tall, Brogg, Harle the Huntsman and Harle the Handsome both, Ygon Oldfather, Blind Doss, even the Great Walrus. I have my swords, thought Jon Snow, and we are coming for you, Bastard. - Jon, ADwD
Stannis sending Arya to Jon Snow for a debt owed
"Oh, and take the Stark girl with you. Deliver her to Lord Commander Snow on your way to Eastwatch." Stannis tapped the parchment that lay before him. "A true king pays his debts." Pay it, aye, thought Theon. Pay it with false coin. Jon Snow would see through the imposter at once. Lord Stark's sullen bastard had known Jeyne Poole, and he had always been fond of his little half-sister Arya. - Theon, TWoW
Even the traitors Karstark pretending like the others:
Lord Arnolf shoved himself up, a vulture rising from its prey. One spotted hand clutched at his son’s shoulder for support. “We’ll take (Winterfell) for the Ned and for his daughter.” - The Sacrifice, ADwD
Us reading A Dance for Dragons: The North is marching for Lady Arya Stark of Winterfell, daughter of Ned Stark. Arya Stark is a pivotal character, a Key to the North around whom the North plot revolves. Various Northern factions are uniting behind her, the Lord Commander broke several oaths of neutrality and died trying to save her, two kings tried to save her.
Sansa stans/Jonsa shippers:
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
They hate it so much that the North plot revolves around Arya that the only thing they can do again and again is gaslight the fandom with this false equivalence that talking about Arya's importance to the North is making light of Jeyne's rape and abuse.
Also, Ramsay marries Arya Stark to give legitimacy to his stake over the North as Lord of Winterfell. Which is why Manderly wants Rickon because his claim supersedes Arya's. These morons pretending that discussing this plot is an insult to Arya while they hand over all of Arya's book themes, characterization and relationships to their fave is hilarious.
Like every other day there is a post of how Sansa is the MOST IMPORTANT because EVERYONE WANTS TO MARRY HER and she is the ONLY KEY TO THE NORTH - because the Lannisters, Tyrells and LF are all plotting to marry her off etc. The whole Jonsa shite is about Sansa deigning to make the poor bastard Jon legitimate by marrying him etc. Their world revolves around Sansa's marriage. But apparently discussing how Arya's marriage to Ramsay to hold the North is driving the Northern plot is insulting to Arya's character 🤣
When even the author has given all these interviews pointing out that replacing Jeyne with Sansa on the TV show changed the entire story because 'Fake Arya' is essential to what is happening in the North, these stans can only regurgitate this tired old nonsense and attack book readers for discussing what is actually in the books instead of making up headcanons on how their unqualified fave is the only candidate to be QITN

More thoughts on the new clip:
Ezran is with Zym, Soren and Corvus so Bait is hanging with Callum again and this gives me feelings. Bait looking out for his boy again. Best boy Bait.
Ezran hanging with Soren and Corvus? Am I going to see some Sorvus content? Canon Sorvus?
Poor Ez paralleling third wheeling with Callum and Rayla in Season 3.

Tumblr media
Her standard was Max, and god, did that ever ruin her chance to have a rebound. Whenever she got the chance to go on dates, she seemed to cower from the thought. As if she was worried about not getting along with the said dates.
Speaking of anxiety.
The Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show was on the go, and to say that it was nerve wracking would be quite a shame. You would think that she would be alright with walking down the runway now— but to know that some of her peers were here to support her, three days after the last race? Yeah, she might as well shit on her pants. 
She had everyone else to be nervous about; Lady Gaga was there for fucks sake. She was in the same room as Adriana Lima and Elsa Hosk. Hell, even Abel would be performing during her segment— why was she nervous about seeing her driver friends while she walked down the runway? 
She supposed that no one had seen her pose in her underwear before. That, and that they all grew up with her— it was weird to see your childhood friend all grown up, dressed in lingerie and nothing else. 
Not that Max Verstappen hadn’t seen that months ago. 
Fuck, Max was going to be there! 
She knew she was nervous. She just didn’t realize that it was because of him. Why would she be nervous? After all, working together had a major effect on their relationship. And… sleeping together once. 
Because he didn’t bring it up anymore after their conversation that day. He was friendly with her, but not once did he mention that he wanted to do it again. She wasn’t sure if it was because of their workplace relationship or their general friendship, but she was sure as hell that it hurt. Not that she would ever tell him that. Not especially after she found a woman clinging to him at their next race’s afterparty. 
So it did hurt. But as a prideful daughter of a miserable mother, she kept a straight face and smiled at everyone. 
After seeing him that night, she kept their relationship as civil as it could be— only listening to him “Maxplain” everything he could speak about, and offering him advice whenever he needed it. She failed to mention a lot of things in her life— like how Abel was performing tonight. Max only found out through their friends hours prior to the event and while it pissed him off to no end, he couldn’t afford to upset Sylvie on her special day. This was her day after all. She was debuting as a VS model. 
Tilly and Aimee had managed to see Sylvie and Stevie before the show as they prepared. They had mostly spoken about how they were able to get to the location easily and how Soren fussed when Tilly left him at Toto’s watch. 
“The boys are there,” Aimee pointed her head towards the direction of the audience, “I told them not to be foolish this time around.”
“Did you tell them to behave and not bark?” Stevie giggled, making Sylvie cackle. Sylvie’s makeup artist shot her a warning to not ruin her makeup by crying in laughter. 
“They know not to,” Tilly rolled her eyes, “those men have PR managers to answer to otherwise.” 
“I think George and Alex were only there chilling,” Aimee said, “I didn’t think someone could have anxiety even if they’re just an audience— not until I saw Max.” 
“Max? Why?” Now that piqued Sylvie’s curiosity.
Tilly answered, “I dunno. It must’ve been the adrenaline from Abu Dhabi, if you were to ask me. He’ll be fine once the show starts.” 
The beating of her heart slowed down when her segment started, only focusing on the front and had only given Abel a look of indifference before making her way through the middle, posing with her head tilting slightly to the right. Walking back, she glanced on her right and watched Max’s eyes stare at hers. 
She kept her head in his direction for a moment, not even realizing that she walked past Abel as her ears muted his song and voice, only paying attention to Max before looking back in front of her and walking off. 
Max knew that she had seen him with his not-really-girlfriend in each race, and it was extremely stupid of him. Rebounds shouldn’t be a thing at all, he told himself. He knew how he felt about her, yet after spending some time with her in a bedroom, he seemed to chicken out and not tell her about the love he had for her.
He always wondered how she went from insulting him jokingly to having a civil conversation and agreeing to everything he said. It was wrong. Why didn’t she say something about it? They agreed not to lie to each other, did they not? 
He seemed to feel like a hypocrite just saying that. But he was more than willing to admit that she was just as beautiful as she was before. He only started to feel different when they shared an intimate moment with each other, one that he’d like to relive for as long as he could breathe.
But they weren’t even aware that admitting would have to take time. After all, there were more problems to solve. 
Partying had never been a priority for her, if you were to ask, but Kendall insisted that Sylvie come along before the younger girl could even dive headfirst into her work throughout their break. The third Hearth daughter only nodded and dressed up as nicely as she could, only deciding that she would only drink one glass of daiquiri. What she didn’t know, however, was that Kendall had invited her guy friends to join them at the party. She had never felt so annoyed— why wouldn’t Kendall tell her in the first place that she’d invite them? Not that she wasn’t enthralled at the thought. Some warning would have sufficed. 
But it wasn’t their presence that made her want to go home. 
Everyone was too busy dancing to even sit in their booth, leaving Sylvie behind while she scrolled through her Twitter. She liked the peaceful atmosphere that the club could offer in a booth. And her blocking Abel was definitely something. 
Her eyes found a tweet that left her blood running cold. No.
“Sylvie’s Failed F1 Career: Explained”
From top to bottom, the story of her discontinued journey in Formula One was splayed out in a gossip website— a rather accredited one, while you’re at it. People would normally say not to believe what you see on the internet, but the truth was published and spread in the Formula One community and show business. 
Nobody knew what had happened before. Not until now. Whoever the fuck were these anonymous sources, they were nothing but assholes. Everything in the article was detailed from head to toe. Some stuff that people didn’t know were put up for everyone to see and shame her with.
Then panic started to spread across her body, her feet stumbling up as she marched down towards the dance floor, her hand gripping on Max’s shirt as she dragged him to a seedy area of the club no one had ever stepped foot on. 
“Mustang, what—“
“Cut the bullshit, Max,” she spewed out venomously before she shoved her phone in his hand. “Did you do this?” 
His eyes peered down on the article on screen as they widened. He looked up to see her teary eyes appearing once more. 
“No,” he answered honestly, but she wasn’t having it.
“You knew what happened, you’re the one who reported me, Max,” she cried out, her body shaking in anger and panic as she continued, “you saw that. You told the officials—“
“But that doesn’t mean I would fuck your career over!” Max exclaimed in frustration. “I told you that if you had somehow given me a heads up that they were kicking you out, I would have gone back and made them review it. Me not being there when you were being questioned was the biggest mistake I’ve made, because I know you. You’re honest. I would’ve known. I would’ve admitted that I was wrong if I heard you speak for yourself.”
“Then why do this? If you respect me then why do this now?”
“Sylvie, schatje,” he took a deep breath before looking at her again, “I would not— for the life of me— treat you like that. God, I would never forgive myself if I did. So I swear that isn’t me.” 
He didn’t even realize how bad their situation was until she started crying and crumbling in his arms, the music still tampering with the hysterical sound of her sobs. He tried to comfort her right there, but the loudness of the club only messed with both of their emotions and anxiety as he picked up their stuff and hailed for a cab. 
It didn’t take him long to find his room as she continued to cry in his arms. She spoke about her worries about her career as she sobbed, not wanting to lose her job in Red Bull and as a model because of this disaster they both called a lie. How was she going to explain all of this to her family? She asked herself as she sniffled, wiping her tears away. She hadn’t even realized that Max was crying too. 
All of this happened because he believed his friends who couldn’t give anymore shit about him. All of this happened to her because of him. All he could do now was apologize with tears. 
“I- I- I’ll do my best to fix this,” Max stammered, wiping his tears away to hide it away from her as she looked up. “Let me please help you fix this. This was my doing and I- I can’t hurt you like this, Sylv. I can’t afford to have you lose your career because of me. Just… please, forgive me and let me help.” 
“Please, Max,” she whispered. “I can’t be silenced anymore, Max. I- I need someone to speak for me.” 
“We’ll be speaking for you,” Max promised, leaning his forehead against hers. “I’ll… I don’t care if it ruins my own career, I just know yours cannot be ruined because of me. I’ll be here for you, schatje. Just have me.”

The Misfit Gang (Slytherin Gang ff)
This is a OC insert imagine, with multiple parts. If you don't want to use the name ive chosen, feel free to insert your own :)
Part 1 | Part 3 | Part 4 Part 2
After the sorting, where a certain Harry Potter had been sorted into Gryffindor, Soren sat in between Pansy and a tall, dark skinned boy named Blaise. She'd been sorted into Slytherin,  the house of the ancient De Villes  from over 50 years before. It was the same house as a certain Draco Malfoy, but anything was better than being in Hufflepuff like the 20 nameless and useless family members before her. 
Blaise didn't talk much, his eyes only on his food, but they'd exchanged a couple of words when the feast had been served and the school song finally finished. But as Soren saw it, it was better than nothing. At least she had a friend, and, by the sound of Pansy's animated conversation on her right, maybe even more. 
"Can you pass the pumpkin juice?" asked a soft voice. Blaise's voice. 
Soren glanced up from her steak, reached to grab the jug, and passed it to him, barely making noise. 
"Here," she said, just as quietly, "Do you need anything else?" 
They stared at each other for a moment, Blaise finding the words to say whatever was on his mind and Soren waiting to be answered, before he once again opened his mouth. 
"Mmh... the custard tarts? I-if you don't mind," he mumbled. 
'Not much of a talker,' Soren thought, 'But he's nice, I guess.' She passed him the plate of tarts and was about to turn back to her food when he spoke once more. 
"T-thanks... Soren." 
Soren almost jumped when he said her name, though quietly, and her head snapped to face him with a light blush. 
"Oh! Y-you're welcome, Blaise," she replied, whispering almost, in case anyone was watching, "Anytime." 
"Call me Zabini," he grunted, "'pparently it's a sign of weakness if you use first names in Slytherin. Malfoy said." 
"O-of course," she answered, shivering at the mention of Malfoy. 
She noticed he did the same when he said the blonde boy's name, and smiled hopefully up at him. He didn't return her smile, but nodded curtly instead. 
                                      -----------**-----------
In the Slytherin common room, a few days after the first years began school at Hogwarts, Soren and Blaise sat side-by-side in a dark corner. They both had homework (Pansy too but she refused to miss the girls' sleep-out), and although neither needed help and they didn't talk, the silence wasn't uncomfortable. Suddenly, Malfoy and his cronies sauntered over, smirking and laughing amongst themselves. Soren did her best not to look up at him, not to show fear. But when he stood above her and blocked out her light, she couldn't stop herself. 
"Ha! I knew you'd be over here! See boys, the nerds are studying again!" Malfoy cackled, high-fiving one of them. 
"P-please move," Soren whispered, not wanting a conflict. 
Malfoy stuck his face next to hers, sneering, and grabbed her transfiguration book. 
"What was that? Speak up when you talk to important people!" he jeered at her, flipping through pages of the book. 
Soren turned away and, raising her voice the slightest bit, said, "I said - please move." 
Malfoy laughed and dropped her book down on the table, shattering her quill's nib. 
"My father is a big, wealthy wizard. I'll tell him if you say anything," he warned her in a sneer, the two brutes cracking their knuckles. Soren flinched. 
Blaise jumped to his feet, throwing down his book and almost knocking the table over as he stood. 
"Give it a REST Malfoy!" he growled, "Your dad couldn't care less about you, and you know it! Shut up and leave her ALONE!" 
For once, Malfoy shut up and walked off.  His cronies shot Blaise dirty looks but still they, too retreated. Puffing, Blaise flopped back down onto his seat and wiped his brow. 
"Thank you, Zabini," Soren whispered, touching his arm. 
He looked at her for a second, seeing how shaken she was, then picked up his quill and held it out to her. 
"You're welcome Soren," he replied, taking her broken quill and stuffing it in his own bag. He thought for a second before adding, "And, you know, you can call me Blaise. I don't really care about strength and weakness, OR what Malfoy says anymore." 
Smiling at him and taking the quill, Soren nodded. 
"You're a good friend, Blaise," she said softly.
