OK SO LET’S TALK ABOUT DARIUS AND ALADOR IN THAT LAST PART OF THE FINALE
Before I get into that though, I want to say that from what we’ve seen, I think Darius and Alador have some kind of potentially romantic history during their Hexside days. Maybe they started dating a little, maybe they were going to, or maybe Darius said he had feelings for Alador, but no matter what it is, I think there was some kind of romantic history that eventually ended badly, leading to Darius calling Alador “a hack” and the rivalry they seemed to have in season 2.
So now, let me show a few images from the scene right after Alador successfully removed a coven sigil.
Ok so let’s look at the progression here. Initially, Darius is amazed, literally his mouth is wide open and he’s starting because it worked, the coven sigil is gone.
Then, in his amazement, he grabs Alador and starts shaking him, kind of like in a “are you seeing this, look it worked, did you see that??” kind of way. He’s amazed, he’s excited, he’s reaching for Alador and then--
And then Darius realizes what he’s doing.
Now, before I continue to ramble here, I want to point out that in order for Darius to become the Abomination Coven head and successfully be a rebel without being caught or raise suspicions, he had to be a very, very, good actor. Because of the toxic work environment that the castle was and what probably would have happened if anyone found out that Darius was a rebel (looks at the Conformatorium and possibly the petrification ceremony because at that point Darius potentially would have been viewed as a threat to Belos), Darius has been acting for a while. (Honestly I wouldn’t be surprised if putting on an act was second nature to him by this point but that’s another ramble in itself, lol).
Now, back to the scene.
When Darius realizes what he’s doing, he freezes. He was visibly excited, no act, no mask, and suddenly he was very close to Alador.
And what did he do?
He instantly moved away, turning away from Alador.
Let’s look at Darius’ body language here.
Now to me, just about everything with Darius in that last image reads as defensive. He was close to Alador, and then once he realized what he was doing he instantly turned away from Alador. He’s leaning away from Alador, he has his arms crossed over his chest, which also reads as defensive, and he looks upset. Not glaring at Alador, which you’d think he would do if he was still keeping with the whole “Alador’s a hack” thing, just upset.
Or, at least half of his face does.
Let’s look at just the left half of his face for a moment. There’s a slight blush, he has one eye closed, and the side of his mouth there is turned up almost in a smile. With just that half of his expression in mind, it makes me think of someone who has a crush.
Now the right half of his face. Even with just that part of his expression in mind, he doesn’t look mad at Alador, or trying to play the part of a rival... he looks upset. Hurt. Maybe a little tired. To me, it looks like someone who’s trying to remind themselves not to do something because they don’t want to get hurt.
Honestly, to me it looks like Darius is trying to tell himself not to get too close to Alador. To me, it looks like he went on the defensive, that he’s upset with himself and trying to tell himself “don’t go down this road again, you only got hurt the last time”.
My own headcanon is that Darius and Alador started dating during their Hexside days, but then Odalia made Alador break things off with Darius. It lead to a bad breakup, or at least one with a lot of hurt feelings in Darius’ case, which then led to the rivalry thing they have going on in season 2. If that’s the case, then that would explain Darius’ reactions in this scene. I admit, I could be wrong, but I think it’s a possible theory.
