Posting my reply to @kuno-chan’s post separately here as I’m not going to reblog slander disparaging me or others.

Also, since these are just all the same talking points lifted from elsewhere in the fandom, there’s no need to go line by line. Nevertheless, I’ve given this plenty of time and thought, and will break my take down into four parts:

Callum and Rayla

No, Callum is not obsessed with Rayla. Sorry, but one brief evening of him mourning the anniversary of Rayla leaving isn’t a constant obsession lol. This scene shows he still has feelings for her, but it does not constitute a constant preoccupation. For the vast majority of time in s4 before she returned, he hardly acknowledged her. Even when she returned and left again in 4x03, he did not have a any reaction at all, and went along with his day.

Callum is a deeply caring person who would do anything for those he loves, including Ezran, Soren, and Amaya (Yes, even Soren, as Callum was about to fight Elmer to defend him despite being injured himself). This fierce loyalty is part of his nature, not evidence of obsession over one person. His willingness to fight for others can be both a strength and a flaw at times.

At the same time, as Finnegrin points out to Callum in 5x08, his friends are also willing to do anything for him too. It’s a two-way street.

Meanwhile, Rayla seems more singularly focused on Callum, calling him the "best thing I ever had" and clearly pining for him constantly. Her moral compass now revolves around Callum and protecting Callum specifically. So between the two, she displays more obsessive tendencies regarding their relationship. To the point that I have mentioned before it’s a little disconcerting that most of her character arc in s4 seems to just be about getting back together with him.

Speaking of which, even after they reconcile, the lead writer dropped the bombshell that they’re actually not currently dating:

Which really begs the question, if Rayla is so eager to resume their relationship, why haven’t they? If Callum is so obsessed with her, why hasn’t he taken her back yet?

This doesn’t mean Callum doesn’t care deeply about her. He absolutely does. But if Callum were truly obsessed, he likely would have immediately resumed the relationship. The fact that he has not suggests he has set healthy boundaries and is not driven by obsession.

But that’s just the relationship angle. There’s also the issue with assigning Rayla’s traits (flaws specifically) to Callum. Callum is indeed loyal, and to his detriment sometimes, but loyalty and devotion aren’t the main driver for his actions. They’re Rayla’s. You don’t even have to take my word for it, it’s spelled out in Tales of Xadia:

Callum’s most important value is Freedom/Liberty, once again spelled out in Tales of Xadia:

And this distinction is crucial, as it’s the crux of his storyline in s5: is he really free to choose not to do dark magic (or free to make any choice for that matter), and what does it mean to have unlimited potential, and whether that unlimited potential can lead to a very dark place. Once again, flat out stated by the lead writer of the show:

Notice how Devon explained Callum’s motivation without ever mentioning “Rayla”?

Chalking up his motivation to just an obsession for Rayla that he’ll always have, that he’s just That Way and nothing else, deprives him of this arc and reduces him to a two dimensional sidepiece for Rayla. It strips him of the complexity of his season 5 arc, where he struggles with the meaning of unlimited potential and the darkness that could engender. His inner conflicts go far beyond his feelings for Rayla. Suggesting otherwise diminishes his character development, and it's beyond me why anyone would want that.

Callum and Morality

As I’ve said before, I enjoy Callum’s dark side immensely. I really do. But the point of the Ocean Arcanum, as I've mentioned before, is that everyone has a dark side:

Thus, Callum isn’t any more particularly morally dubious than anyone else. Sorry, but a single use of dark magic, with already-dead ingredients, in an extremely controlled setting for the very narrow purpose of setting himself free, doesn’t make Callum morally dubious. And I’m sure the average person could see the VAST chasm of difference between using One Bad Spell and dooming the world for Rayla’s sake that the story has no chance of bridging in just two seasons.

He refrained from using the snake chain spell offensively against people, as we've seen it used before (in 2x03). It was narrowly employed just to free himself, after which he immediately returned to primal magic. And in that sense, I haven’t seen a single person argue this one act was unjustifiable.

And, as he gives Finnegrin the wrong list of ingredients, that’s basically the only real act of moral ambiguity Callum has displayed. Because for everything else, you have to hold Callum to a unique (and impossible) standard that applies to no one else. For instance, it's not considered morally dubious when Amaya punched Karim, yet Callum punching Finnegrin supposedly is? Callum is dubious for forgiving Rayla of her crimes (in a show that’s centered on forgiveness and trust as sources of true strength), yet Rayla isn’t dubious for actually committing those crimes? Like, Rayla actually lies, steals, and abandons her friends, yet Callum is viewed as more dubious simply for forgiving her?

Seriously, why am I supposed to think Callum is dubious for saving his friend at the cost of a snake’s tail, yet Rayla is merely “complex” for what she's done?

To be clear, while Rayla has certainly done morally questionable things, that does not make her a bad person or even a morally dubious person overall. But the same must also apply to Callum - his singular use of dark magic for escape does not negate his generally good and principled nature. Very few people would consider his actions in that scene truly unjustifiable.

Callum and Viren

As I’ve said before here, Callum and Viren are indeed foils, and perhaps the most important foil relationship in the series. But the point of foil characters is showing each other’s opposing traits:

And yea, it should be pretty obvious that Callum and Viren are dramatically different from one another. Callum protects those close to him and tries to do the right thing, while Viren seeks to amass as much power for himself as he can.

This is even clear from their parallel shots that Viren and Callum are extremely different, for good and bad reasons. When opening the door to greet the guard, Viren appears self-important while Callum seems nice and humble. When he confronts Soren on the battlements, Callum is aggressive and angry where Viren was calm and calculated. These are not the same person.

That doesn’t mean Viren and Callum are opposites in every way; some minor similarities are there to humanize Viren, not equate him with Callum. For instance, the moment he parallels Callum and the group’s “I’d do anything for you” was to show that Viren isn’t just a power hungry tyrant but also a devoted and desperate father. However the fact that this is a sympathetic moment undercuts the supposed dubiousness of Callum.

Viren's devotion to his children parallels Callum's loyalty to his friends, making Viren sympathetic rather than wholly evil. But this does not make Callum dubious by association - if anything, it suggests Viren has glimmers of goodness akin to Callum's steadfast decency. If Viren is portrayed as good to the extent that he’s similar to Callum, what does that say about Callum himself?

So while they have a couple superficial similarities, their core character traits and motivations remain opposites. It is unreasonable to equate them based on scant common ground when their differences are so pronounced. If parallels to Callum humanize Viren, that reflects well on Callum, not poorly.

It’s also pretty telling that the same people downplay Callum's explicit and canonical similarities to the moral exemplar Amaya, while overstating negligible common ground with the villainous Viren...

Fandom Toxicity:

While I can be blunt or harsh about takes I disagree with or think are poorly thought out, I never attack the people holdings those views or suggest that they’re terrible people. I would never, for instance, suggest that people who don’t subscribe to my view of Callum to be incels, or who don’t subscribe to my view of Rayla to be mysoginists, or who don’t subscribe to my view of Ezran to be racists.

It’s not just toxic and offensive behavior, but it’s also inconsistent. When you ask “why is it so bad that some people believe Callum is dubious,” it kinda falls flat when you turn around and call people "incels" for having a different take on Callum.

I’m not going to comment much more on this as I think it speaks for itself, but I also deal with enough bullying and harassment as it is, so this will probably be it for me. I see no reason to continue when you are arguing with such bad faith.

Postscript

The argument here is basically “since Callum was willing to squish a snake’s tail and risk his life for Rayla, then it’s reasonable he’d be willing to risk the entire world for her.” I’m sorry, but I’m of the opinion that this doesn’t follow and is kinda far fetched. That isn’t a personal attack, just my personal take.

It’s fine to want Callum to be morally dubious. You’d be pushing an open door with me if you think it would be cool headcanon. Completely unsubstantiated by canon, but still cool.

But for whatever reason, the favor is not returned. It should be fine to think Callum has a moral code, that he has a life outside of Rayla, and that he’ll probably rise above his weaknesses and flaws by the end of the saga. Yet the namecalling and mudslinging that this is responded with is just WILD.

I don’t deal well with insults, or namecalling, or the insinuation that I am in denial subconsciously, or I don’t really mean it when I discuss Callum’s dark side. Nor will I entertain it. This type of bad faith dealing barely deserved a response, much less several paragraphs worth, but now that this is all on a page, I’m going to do both of us a favor and say that we’re done.

excerpt from ch5 of my perry mason fic Modern Architecture:

“Am I a lousy father, Ruthie?” Going by the way she shifted back on her heels, Ruthie hadn’t expected him to ask that. “You have your moments.” The emptiness in him weighed his bones down like rocks. He leaned forward and pressed the heels of his hands into his eyes again, nodding. “Yeah.” “For the most part, though,” Ruthie said, after a moment’s pause, “you aren’t half bad. Pretty good, even, when you’re around. Better than both our fathers by a landslide.” Pete snorted. “Low benchmark, angel.” “Gotta set it someplace,” Ruthie said. “Scoot over.” Pete obliged, holding Ruthie’s hand as she plopped down on the steps beside him. She shook two cigarettes out from the pack in her apron pocket, stuck both between her teeth and lit them, then handed one to Pete. Pete took a long, grateful drag, watching Ruthie exhale a puff of smoke. She had her hair tied back in a loose ponytail; there were more streaks of silver among the blonde than there’d been the last time he’d looked, and the lines at her mouth and the corners of her eyes seemed deeper, more drawn. A far cry from the little girl who used to follow him and Bobby around demanding to join in on their games. “Remember how you used to steal Bobby’s bicycle?” Ruthie scoffed. “For the hundredth time, it ain’t stealing if the bike was just lying around. And he always left it lying around.” “Usually in a huff,” Pete said, smiling. “‘Cause he kept scraping up his knees.”

VS GAME: Prolog

(Suatu hari di bulan November. Di panggung [VS GAME])

Makoto: ….

Hokuto: ….

Makoto: Hidaka-kun, aku tak menyangka akan bisa bertarung denganmu kembali. Di konser yang konsepnya seperti game, [VS GAME] ini. Tentu saja aku nggak ada niatan untuk kalah disini. Soalnya game adalah bidang keahlianku.

Hokuto: Aku juga. Meski kita adalah teman seunit, aku nggak ada niatan buat kalah juga. Tak usah menahan diri dan datanglah menyerang, Yuuki.

Mao: Mata mereka serius banget deh. Dah niat bertarung sekuat tenaga tuh.

Subaru: Nah, beda banget dibandingin Ukki ama Hokke biasanya. Sekarang aja aku udah nggak sabar lihatnya~ Siapa yang bakal menang nggak bisa diprediksi nih!

(Produser) kelihatan khawatir gitu ya? Kau deg-degan lihat kami, Trickstar, bertarung sekuat tenaga seperti ini ya?

Tenang aja. Justru karena kami ini kawan, kami bakal bertarung dengan serius. Pastinya setelah konser ini selesai, kami bakal kembali seperti semula juga. Pastinya juga kami bakalan lebih akrab dibanding sebelumnya⭐

Mao: Nah! Kami bisa bertengkar juga karena kami akrab ‘kan?

Ayo kita juga ikut, Subaru! Kita nggak bisa membiarkan hanya mereka yang bisa menunjukan sisi keren!

Subaru: Ahahaha, kayak situasi di manga shounen yang kau suka ya, Sally! Aku juga udah nggak bisa diam aja nih! Ayo, Sally! Ayo kita sekuat tenaga memeriahkan konser ini, di panggung [VS GAME] ini!

(Waktu berjalan mundur pada awal bulan November)

Makoto: …♪

Hokuto: Yuuki, bisa nggak berhenti dulu main game mobilenya? Sebentar lagi kita bakal rapat dengan (Produser). Lebih baik kita segera menegakkan tubuh kita.

Makoto: Ah, maaf. Udah jam segini ya? Aku pikir tadi (Produser)-chan datangnya masih nanti. Nggak kerasa waktu udah berjalan cepat.

Hokuto: Lagian ini tuh tempat buat kerja. Meski jadwal kita kosong kayak gini, kalau main game pas jam kerja gini aku jadi gak enak ama karyawan lain. Kita beda dengan yang lain karena kita punya pekerjaan yang khusus, tetapi sebagai orang yang terjun di masyarakat bukannya minimal kita juga mengerti penggunaan TPO*?

Subaru: Udahlah, jangan marah-marah gitu dong, Hokke. Hari ini kan kita selalu sibuk seharian, jadi sesekali perlu dong juga buat istirahat sejenak!

Kalau gitu aku juga mau rebahan dulu deh di sofa...⭐

Hokuto: Dasar kalian ini. Hari ini kita kembali bekerja lagi dengan (Produser) setelah sekian lama lo. Kalau kalian main-main gini kesannya jadi gak baik ‘kan nanti?

Mao: Tapi kalau dia mah nggak mempedulikan yang kayak gitu ‘kan? Dia juga udah lama temenan ama kita. Kita juga terus berpindah-pindah dari sekolah, ke tempat pekerjaan, sampai ke ES sekarang. Dia juga bakal ngerti kalau kita lagi perlu istirahat sejenak. Aku juga dari tadi juga main HP mulu, nggak ada bedanya ama Makoto yang main game ‘kan?

Subaru: Betul tuh! Pemikirannya Hokke aja nih yang kuno! Kalau begini terus dirimu nanti bakal tertinggal arus modern lo~? Karena di zaman sekarang mah hal seperti internet ama game itu sesuatu yang sangat diperluin lo⭐

Hokuto: Hm? Pemikiranku kuno? Aku nggak yakin gitu deh.

Lagian game mobile itu seru banget ya? Aku sama sekali nggak paham dimana letak serunya.

Makoto: Yoi. Seru banget sampai lupa buat makan♪ Game mobile di HP belakangan ini juga performanya udah meningkat banget, padahal dulu game kebanyakan hanya bisa dimainin pake konsol. Sekarang mah sudah bisa dimainin di HP. Berkat itu, game-game yang dulu iseng kubeli tapi tak bisa kumainin (karena nggak punya konsolnya dan akhirnya cuma dipajang) sekarang bisa kumainin di HP.

Tapi tahun ini, ada game terkenal yang lagi tren pembicaraan belakangan ini! Aku juga udah waktunya ganti dari game lamaku dan nanti ganti mencoba game baru itu dah! Gimana ya kayak kalau nggak gitu nggak bisa tenang aku!

Subaru: Ahaha! Matamu keliatan berkilauan banget pas ngomonginnya! Pasti kau nantiin banget ya tuh game?

Hokuto: Hm... aku nggak paham sih. Tapi idol pekerjaannya juga termasuk membuat gayanya sendiri-sendiri ya. Terlalu mengomentari gaya orang lain juga nggak baik juga.

Mao: Nah nah. Selalu mencoba hal baru dan membuat para penonton terkejut itu khas kita juga ‘kan? Kalau nggak salah belakangan ini di dunia game juga ada kayak grup profesionalnya juga? Bagus juga ‘kan ada hal baru kayak gitu?

Hokuto: Grup profesional game ya? Yuuki berminat nggak ama gituan?

Makoto: Nggak nggak. Bukan berarti aku mau jadiin game sebagai pekerjaan juga. Pro gamer itu perlu banyak banget waktu buat latihan dan meneliti strategi bermain saat bertanding dengan lawan. Aku rasa nggak bisa deh dilakuin bareng ama pekerjaan sebagai idol.

Mao: Gitu ya? Padahal aku rasa kalau dirimu jadi pro gamer juga menarik.

Makoto: Ahaha, aku senang dibilang gitu. Tapi dunia pro gamer itu sulit banget, jadi aku lebih suka melihat dan menikmati pertandingan mereka aja.

Subaru: Ah, (Produser)! Otsukare!

Ya, sekarang kami lagi ngobrol soal game. Daripada itu apaan dengan kostum itu? Lagi cosplay jadi penyihir? Padahal aku rasa Halloween Party udah selesai dari kemarin-kemarin.

Makoto: (Produser)-chan, jangan-jangan kostum itu….

Subaru: Eh, Ukki tahu sesuatu soal kostum itu?

Makoto: Yoi, tentu aja aku tahu. Kostum itu adalah kostum dari game baru yang aku nantikan, [VS], yang aku bilang tadi lo!

Jangan-jangan, dirimu juga nantiin tanggal rilisnya? Uwaah, aku nggak nyangka bisa berbagi kesenangan denganmu juga seperti ini!

Hokuto: Jarang banget lihat Yuuki jadi berseri-seri gitu. Aku nggak paham sih, [VS] itu apaan? Emangnya itu sesuatu yang seru banget kah?

Makoto: Tentu aja! [VS]. Judul aslinya adalah [Variant Stranger]. Game ini adalah game action RPG yang banyak dinantikan orang-orang, yang diproduksi oleh perusahaan pembuat game terkenal di luar negeri. Game ini memperoleh hampir nilai sempurna pada trial version yang hanya bisa dimainkan oleh para tokoh penting media.

Padahal masih trial version tapi kualitasnya udah sempurna banget kayak versi yang bisa dijual ke pasaran. Aku juga pernah denger rumor diantara tokoh media itu dulu ngambil cuti kerja sebulan cuma buat bisa main gamenya!

Mao: Haha, gimana ya bilangnya. Bener-bener karya yang aneh ya sampai nggak bisa diketawain. Itu berarti tuh game menarik banget ya sampai orang-orang nggak mau kembali ke dunia nyatanya ‘kan?

Tapi ternyata (Produser) juga main game ya? Apakah kostum itu kostum sementara yang rencananya mau kau pake di Halloween Party kemarin?

Hm? Bukan ya?

Hokuto: Ada tawaran pekerjaan dari perusahaan game? Tawaran buat kami?

Makoto: Eh?! Kami diminta untuk mempromosikan [VS] itu?!

Lebih tepatnya diminta untuk oleh perusahaan iklan mengiklankannya di dalam negeri aja?! Nggak nggak, itu aja udah hebat banget!

Mempromosikan game yang menjadi topik seluruh dunia, itu benar-benar pekerjaan yang hanya bisa dilakukan segelintir orang saja ya! Seriusan kayak mimpi aja ini!

Hokuto: Aku nggak enak nanya pas Yuuki sedang kegirangan, tapi tolong kasih tahu rincian pekerjaan juga. Kesampingkan dulu soal Yuuki, semuanya apalagi aku nggak terlalu paham soal game. Nggak terlambat buat memutuskan menerima atau nggaknya setelah kami mendengar soal rincian pekerjaannya.

Hm? Aku ama Yuuki bakal ngadain “Pertandingan Live Gameplay” katamu?

NB:

*TPO ITime, Place, Occation) = waktu, tempat, dan acara.

All Setelahnya>

somehow forgot all about viren snorting butterflies. also: @kuno-chan pointed out that if viren and the butterfly were reversed, this could also be how aaravos sees viren: an eager volunteer, easily used and soon to be discarded.

Thank you so much for creating the anchorverse. I’ve read all of your work in the verse and it’s so amazing. Might be my favorite fanfiction universe to date. I know you’ve moved on to other projects and that’s fine.

My question is can you elaborate a bit on what Myuna and Chen(her supposed love interest) relationship is like? It’s ok if we never get a fic about them since you’re busy but maybe how they met or how they fall in love. Apparently they rescue him from a shipwreck but what’s their general love story line?

I hope you don’t take offense to my ask. It’s just I’m very interested in Myuna’s story and especially her love life. I personally don’t like the dragon prince, so I can’t even read your other works besides anchor

First off thank you for your kind words! Myself and others such as @kuno-chan have actually continued to write in that verse here and there but privately since we didn't think there'd be much of an audience for it, but it's good to know the Anchor love is still strong almost 10 years later!

For Myuna, I always figured she'd be very responsible and obedient — fun loving and mischievous, but always guided by a deep pride in her family and trust that they knew best. I think in my notes she's the one who spots the shipwreck, and they go and rescue the one survivor they find there, a boy around her age (a couple years older) named Chen. The crew takes him under their wing (because of course they do) and she and Chen become friends, even if he's a bit more stingy / mistrustful of her family than she'd like him to be, particularly of her father.

The idea was going to be eventually that he was working for a Sea witch who wanted revenge on them and had a hold over a spell that'd been cast on Jinora (for the 3rd anchor fic that never ended up happening) when the previous caster was murdered. And Chen goes with it because he's Zaheer and P'li's son, so obviously that carries some weight / issues.

Myuna is very angry at him when he 'betrays them' later, but they do work together to save her family, and he stays on with them as a crew member (and honestly probably eventually becomes her first mate once she's captain).

At the time I pictured it being a more straight forward romantic relationship even if romance never felt like a Priority for her, but since growing up and coming out, I actually do see Myuna being aroace and poly — I think she'd be interested in having multiple platonic partners, although in this verse, Chen would probably be her main if not her only.

But yeah if you're interested in more of my writing I'd recommend my original WIP sideblog @alvoskia since I have a book coming out in 2026 that features a similar "ragtag group of misfits" element to it + protagonist with anger issues and talks about mental health in a way that's reminiscent of Anchor!

I would also recommend giving The Dragon Prince another chance (depending on when you stopped watching, I always push for end of S2 at least) if only because the most recent season had an honest to god multiple episode plot line that gave me big "Paradise under Quil" vibes!

Not to mention Callum and Rayla's relationship reminds me of Anchor Kai and Jinora's in terms of like mental health and devotion and working on communication, but that's just me, maybe!

#anchor au #thanks for asking #anonymous #a throwback #myuna gyatso #i also think a LOT of what i've written for tdp is like. my best fanon work but anyway #much better writer now than i was writing the bulk of anchor #although i have a lot of love and respect for that version of me as well
