Just wanted to say thank you for all your comments and views! This video really blew up way more than I ever thought, and brought a lot of people to this channel. Most of the other vids here are cute Rayllum AMVs, with some set to ATLA or HTTYD, and other Rayllum compilation posts like "Callum and Rayla saving each other's lives for 7 minutes" and "Callum chasing after Rayla for over three minutes" which mostly have clips that aren't here, for anyone who's interested! ^-^
@@stuff6836 just wanted to say that i am also aro and i do have this!! my relationship is a qpr with a dash of romance sprinkled on top and it's wonderful. you can have any sort of partnership you would like - you can have this type of love and companionship. most of the rayllum shippers i talk to on tumblr see rayllum as aspec anyway, it's really nice
I love how that's countered by when they talk about themselves it's either very short it's a monolog about how much they suck and then the other comes to slap the positivity back into them. Rayla: 'talking about how she deserves to be rejected' Callum: Excuse me shut up. No one talks bad about my best friend, not even my best friend. Or the opposite. Callum: 'talking about how his magic was the only useful skill he's ever had' Rayla: That's a lie and you know it. You're the idea guy.
I love when Callum matter of factly goes "Rayla is a hero" and Rayla is just boggling at him in the background. She'd never thought of herself like that before and he just says it.
Not to mention the story isn’t finished yet (i think its the half way point/close to it but not sure) so there’s still development to be done between both characters as the story progresses. Unlike most romances that happen at the very end.
@@kevindolan9 I think we might actually get to see them as adults in the coming seasons. Season 3 seemed pretty wrapped up, and it takes time for Viren to prepare his next move.
@@venissaa "Books" 4 through 7 have been confirmed for a while, though due to the delay in getting them confirmed (thanks Netflix) there was basically no work done on them, which means development is taking a while.
One of my favorite moments is their second kiss, when Callum leans forward and goes, "You are so..." and then trails off before giving her a kiss. He just gets so caught up in the moment that he can't even finish. They're so pure and precious.
I love this relationship. Rayla is so strong and Callum is brave and intelligent. Usually women characters are weak with her romantic interests male, or when women are stronger, the guy is like stupid and goofy. But this relationship is just perfect
Yeah I'm so sick of romance tropes in genre fiction. One pursuing the other unreciprocated until OOPS They kissed for no adequately explored reason. "mediocre man getting the girl anyway". Love triangles (*shudders*, I was seriously worried there was gonna be a love triangle between Rayla, Claudia, and Callum. Thank goodness we dodged that bullet) Rayla and Callum share strong fundament morals, and have great chemistry to boot. They both give and receive desire, and emotional support equally. Like,a good romance is one where like, if in an alternate world these two were Ace/Aro they would be close, loving, platonic soul mates for life without the romance aspect. And then if you do add the romance part it just turns it into a beautiful, charming, very healthy and straightforward relationship.
If you like strong women characters then you should check out Mushoku Tensei: Jobless Reincarnation. It's a redemption story so the main character starts off as a horrible person but as the series progresses he becomes a decent human being.
I like how the show built up the relationship properly then actually showed them in love instead of just "yeah they like eachother, but only for this one episode" the it moves on
I love these dweebs it makes my heart grow warm when they interact. Also fun fact: According to the behind the scene videos they had; They weren't initially going to be together until the scene at 3:35 on the storyboard made the director and screenwriters realize that they were growing to be close to each other in the script and the actual art they had. The really liked the idea and we got Rayllum from there.
I still find that fact to be so incredible because I felt that they had chemistry the whole time. Heck, I was shipping them from the moment they met! 😄❤
@@silverstarlightproductions1292 Yeah. It felt like they weren't going to to it but the writing and the chemistry they had were just right so they just went for it. I like those two because they reminded me of Sokka and Suki from Avatar the last airbender.
What makes it even better is that thunder rumbled and lightning flashed at that moment. In French, there's a saying that goes "Un coup de foudre," which literally translates to "A thunderclap," but is a metaphor for falling in love. It's believed that if you're looking at someone/into their eyes during a thunderclap, that's the moment you fall in love with that person. Slightly unrelated, but Miraculous Ladybug did this with Marinette and Adrien when she fell in love with him. (He has yet to reciprocate, but ah, we'll wait.)
It honestly just makes this ship better as their relationship wasn't built on a plan, but rather a developing foundation that the characters got overtime cementing that just like people, they got closer over time.
The writers of this show are better at writing believable romances than almost any modern romance. Not much which isn't believable. Took their time, built a friendship/respect for each other, progressed into a feelings, and didn't act like idiots once they realized they care for each other.
It's also a really beautiful bookend for his story, the first big decision he made when he met Rayla was to sacrifice his own life without a second thought to save Ezran, and then at the end he risks losing his own life to save her. He's just a really really good dude from start to finish. It's so refreshing. He doesn't just get dragged along like so many protagonists, he shapes the story with a strong moral compass right from the very first episode. It's one of the main reasons Rayla fell in love with him. That and his big doe eyes of course 😍😘
9:42 did anyone else notice Rayla's pupils expanded a bit? A humans pupils expand when they are looking at something they like/love. These are the tiny details i live for. Also Rayllum moments BUT also tiny details like this
11:55 this has GOT to be my absolute FAVORITE rayllum interaction. They are practically already saying they love eachother, and they're so happy and playful.
I can't count how many times I smiled as I watched all 3 seasons. Rayla is so freakin' awesome and I grew to enjoy Callum as a character too. They have such chemistry! I'm glad they ended up together, _before_ the finale. I like when we get to see characters as a couple at least some scenes before it ends for the time being. And we'll be getting a season 4, so hooray!
@@hannahburke7328 Lol he is now actually, love the realism. Girls grow faster in the beginning, and also earlier. And now Callum hit his growth spurt in the 2 years she was gone and now he's, just a little taller than her.
Apart from the relationship between those two characters, another favourite thing about this show is Reyla's voice, especially her accent. It just sounds so beautiful to me! Definitely looking forward to it when(ever) (or if) the new season is released.
Agree, it's so attractive! as are the voices of the other Moonshadow elves. LOVE how they decided to give each "tribe" of elves a different accent. Wondering what the Ocean elves will sound like. Spanish maybe, or German?
The most admirable thing is that they pulled off her being a 'strong' female lead/character and dont just slap a male character on her and called it a day. She has layers and stuff and can be weak but still isnt the one who has to be saved.
honestly they have one of the most healthy relationships I've ever seen in fiction. they grow together, if they fight they resolve it quickly, they put each other's needs before their own, they encourage each other to take risks and grow, they bring out the best in each other.. 😭 it's way better than the unnecessary drama you see in too many other shows
So true. It's not even anything ground breaking in concept, it's just a normal healthy relationship that happens to involve dragons and magic. It's so simple and straightforward in a refreshing way, but is elevated into the stratosphere by amazing performances, storytelling, and music (gods the music is soooo good). -No stupid love triangle -No "comedic" misunderstandings that leads to pointless drama -No overnight friends-to-lovers with for real reason -No one character providing all the desire and emotional input while the other is too busy with ANGST (they both give and receive emotional support and desire from eachother) Just wholesome goodness from start to finish with some completely believable emotional turmoil and catharsis.
With season 4 on the way I hope that this tender romance doesn't end in a dumpster fire. Their dynamic is just so good and I want nothing, but the best for these two.
I trust these writers to not take cheap shots. These two breaking up would require one or both of them to act pretty wildly out of character. They have already demonstrated they are able of quickly and compassionately resolving pretty big disagreements. Them having a falling out doesn't make sense thematically or in terms of their personalities. I think the most likely thing is they get separated by duty, Rayla goes off on some quest and Calum has to be a mage and advisor to King Ezran. And so we can get some drama from them being apart and get to have a big reunion scene, without any kind of ham-fisted romantic schism.
@@BaiZhijie I was just gonna say this. It's so true, and it works on so many levels. Rayla and Callum (and Ezran) represent the future of relations between elves and humans; they are inversions of the relationships their parents had with each other. There is a lot of space for the writers to explore their relationship as an ongoing parallel to the growing relations between humans and elves moving forward. Just because they had a successful alliance doesn't erase centuries of prejudice and war, and I'm hoping that they show Callum and Rayla dealing with those issues and continuing to lead by example. Gosh I'm rambling and not explaining myself that well but I think you get it. On top of the great performances by the VAs, and fantastic chemistry in the writing, they form a perfect emotional core to the story that serves to elevate all the themes of the narrative.
@@MrTombombodil You're not rambling, I get how you feel completely. Im a grown man in his mid 30s, yet I completely adore this show for kids.🤭 And I've spent a lot of time trying to figure out why this work of art has affected me the way it did. Apparently the romance wasn't planned, but the characters "came alive" in the writing and took the writers in a new direction. (which is a sign of good art). So I think it was originally going to be a straight adventure story like Avatar, but then the romance began and pulled the narrative into a new direction.
... Now I see the show as a narrative exploration of this question: "what does it mean to love thy enemy." And is the redemptive power of love strong enough to overcome 1000 years of hatred. At the beginning of the first season Rayla is Callum mortal enemy, but the end of season three, he's willing to lay down his own life for a chance at saving hers. Watching that kind of love unfold in a work of art is deeply moving stuff. Now Im rambling! But I think thats part of why the show and their relationship works well.
Honestly I'm completly fine with seasons taking 2 years to release, it gives us something to look forward instead of just giving us all of the show at once
While I get that this show gets a lot of comparisons to Avatar, I think one thing that's commonly mentioned as done better here is the romance of the characters. I really like how Callum and Rayla had their relationship grow throughout the first three seasons. Honestly some of my favorite moments in the show were these two together.
i really like atla's romances but definitely prefer tdp's, so i get what you mean! in atla the romance is mostly a subplot but tdp can honestly market itself partially as a romance at this point, which is pretty neat - esp since it was so unexpected to the crew & initially unplanned
@@wordswithdragons9599 Agreed, I didn't dislike the romance in Avatar, it just seemed to come and go as the story needed it. Some points felt appropriate for the show to use it but it honestly did feel more like a side plot rather than a part of the actual plotline. I prefer how Dragon Prince managed to intertwine its romance plotline into its actual plotline, feels more refined and just as an improvement overall. Still think both series are S tier though.
@@andrews_lego_tanks_and_more One of my gripes with the romance (Mainly Aang and Katara) was how they dragged it on near the end when they couldve been together sooner and developed them as a couple from there. Theyre still great though so it doesnt bother me too much.
@@HaydrogenBomb maybe that's the key. They really just fucking push their relationship step by step and then finds "hey, this could work" Kinda like real relationship how ya begin harborin feelins for a friend Then again, never been in that sorta relationship so, ain't for sure
I feel you! Also finished today and amazed by how much effect a story like this can have on my mental health. It is all so sad and beautiful at the same time. Hope their story ends well.
My commentary if you care 5:45 THE WAY HER FACE MELTS AHH!!! 6:26 what was that "cough", Rayla 😂 6:47 Callum's like: Rayla this isn't helping- 8:20 he got so angry oml 9:00 I'm not crying! 9:29 she sound genuinely confused lol 10:04 SHE LOOKS SO HAPPY!!! AWWWW 10:24 OMG look at his face!!!! AH!! 10:47 we still talking to Nyx? LOL 11:03 - 11:26 trying not to fangirl to crazily since almost my entire family is in here... 11:35 - 12:05 THEY ARE SO CUTE OML 12:28 a little disappointed Ezran's part wasn't there but it's cute nonetheless 12:51 the butterflies! 13:02 the way she says that 😂 13:55 I'M NOT CRYING AGAIN YOU ARE!! 14:16 YES!! HEHE!! 14:24 *internal screaming* This was great! 😁
The romance in this series feels very organic and refreshing in comparison to the usual stuff. They overdue it with the jokes in the serious parts a little, but i can look past that. Great Show! Can't wait to see 4 more seasons of it.^-^
As much as I love that these two are together now, I'm beside myself with worry knowing there's still 4 more seasons coming. So much can happen in that much time. I really hope they make it all the way to the finale.
I trust the writers to make it work no matter what, but I literally don't think I could keep watching if they split up. Mostly because I think for that to happen one of them would have to do something really out of character in a way that would be a deal breaker for me. They just ended up writing two characters that are so perfect for each other I can't think of a way to separate them romantically without it feeling forced (obviously they could separate them in the narrative by having them have different quests or something, even if they're still together romantically so they can undergo some solo growth and then have a big reunion)
It seems I'm the first to come back here after the Season 4 trailer. With the 3 year gap, I honestly thought the show was canceled, grieved for the loss of these two, and moved on. And then low and behold, they're back! I don't even watch the show! I just watch these two, and I'm very glad their story isn't over.
I have never clicked anything even remotely related to TDP because I hadn't seen the show until yesterday, when I binged it because I had nothing else to do. Now suddenly this shows up in my yt reccommended? HOW DOES THE ALGORITHM KNOW!?!?!?
This is really well edited and selected but there is a tinny quality to the audio which detracts from it a bit. If you can get a hold of an mkv copy of the show you can convert it to an mp3 using a program like Wondershare Uniconverter and then edit it using free software like Davinci Resolve or paid software like Adobe Premier Pro to get a better quality clip.
Thank you for the suggestions! I'm still in early days of editing so my software and programs is a work in progress, but I'll look into these for sure!
Now usually I cringe instinctively in these kinds of scenes even if I love the show again it's just instinctive with the amount Tele novela my parents watched but this? even my subconsciousness understands the wholesomeness of this couple
According to the creators, all of season 4 audio has been recorded, the storyboards and animatics are complete, and they're currently animating each episode. So, if all goes well, it'll be released sometime in late 2022. :D
I just re-read through the Moon, which means the most logical thing to do is watch Rayllum content so the two cancel each other out haha... The graphic novel really likes to make sure I can never go too long without worrying about my favourite dorky characters.

So I think it was originally going to be a straight adventure story like Avatar, but then the romance began and pulled the narrative into a new direction.
... Now I see the show as a narrative exploration of this question: "what does it mean to love thy enemy." And is the redemptive power of love strong enough to overcome 1000 years of hatred.
At the beginning of the first season Rayla is Callum mortal enemy, but the end of season three, he's willing to lay down his own life for a chance at saving hers.
Watching that kind of love unfold in a work of art is deeply moving stuff.
Now Im rambling! But I think thats part of why the show and their relationship works well.
I must say I love this show so much
Hi me
yep.
my favorite part of the whole show is when Callum does the spell and when Kayla wakes up and they kiss then ez is like "that wasn't part of the spell"
Honestly I'm completly fine with seasons taking 2 years to release, it gives us something to look forward instead of just giving us all of the show at once
Callum: My girlfriend gets cool powers from the moon.
Soren: That's rad buddy.
10:07
I love that simple face of
"Oh."
love this couple, I hope they get married in the end. Like Aang x Katara
It would be interesting to see their babies.
@@tureytayno3154 Me too.
@@tureytayno3154 Im hate babies, so i hope they dont planning make them
@@Raidzu ima pretend I didn’t see this comment ☺️😀
@@tolancefraser3452 Ye, right
While I get that this show gets a lot of comparisons to Avatar, I think one thing that's commonly mentioned as done better here is the romance of the characters. I really like how Callum and Rayla had their relationship grow throughout the first three seasons. Honestly some of my favorite moments in the show were these two together.
i really like atla's romances but definitely prefer tdp's, so i get what you mean! in atla the romance is mostly a subplot but tdp can honestly market itself partially as a romance at this point, which is pretty neat - esp since it was so unexpected to the crew & initially unplanned
@@wordswithdragons9599 Agreed, I didn't dislike the romance in Avatar, it just seemed to come and go as the story needed it. Some points felt appropriate for the show to use it but it honestly did feel more like a side plot rather than a part of the actual plotline. I prefer how Dragon Prince managed to intertwine its romance plotline into its actual plotline, feels more refined and just as an improvement overall. Still think both series are S tier though.
@@andrews_lego_tanks_and_more One of my gripes with the romance (Mainly Aang and Katara) was how they dragged it on near the end when they couldve been together sooner and developed them as a couple from there. Theyre still great though so it doesnt bother me too much.
I just finished binging the series, and gotta say, this relationship was a huge highlight.
Simpletons: Hiccup and Astirid are the best animated couple.
Me an intellectual: Wrong Dragon flick.
No- . This is how you explain me- ✨ How to train your dragon prince ✨
Why hate on both when you can enjoy both couples for what they are!
@@sanjeevoommen9593 Agreed.
I don’t hate either. I just feel Rayllum is a more engaging relationship.
@@sanjeevoommen9593 You speak truth my dear queen/king
My favourite kiss is the one when ezren found out idk why but it killed me 😂 when ezren and bait just started staring
“Is that a… Twinkle in your eye?”
- Rayla
" Oh wait.... Its just one of those sleep crusties 😅"
Inuyasha taught me the value of how Romance can build throughout the series.
The Dragon Prince showed it so well yet again.
These two dorks. and to think this was never part of the plan.
I seriously doubt that
@@HaydrogenBomb the creative team said so rayllum was never an idea
@@ZephyrBW Huh
@@HaydrogenBomb maybe that's the key. They really just fucking push their relationship step by step and then finds "hey, this could work"
Kinda like real relationship how ya begin harborin feelins for a friend
Then again, never been in that sorta relationship so, ain't for sure
Where did you see/hear this? I’m curious!
Looking at this now, makes it feel like flashbacks and memories from 2 years for Rayllum.
I can't tell you how many times I cringed at their relationship 😭😭😭 but I still love it so much 💖❤❤
I KNOW IT'S SO AWKWARD BUT SO CUTE LMAO
same its so awkward but at the same time i love them together
Will I ever get tired of watching compilations of these two dorks in love. No, no I won't
bro this is exactly what i fucking needed. i finished the show today and im grieving so ty
you're so welcome and thank you for your very kind words! i love editing these two, hopefully we'll have season four soon
@@wordswithdragons9599 yep ! manifesting season 4 asap
I feel you! Also finished today and amazed by how much effect a story like this can have on my mental health. It is all so sad and beautiful at the same time. Hope their story ends well.
I feel the same
7:02 his look to zym just says "she's talking about me"
Callum:SHUT UP
Rayla:Wait what?
My commentary if you care
5:45 THE WAY HER FACE MELTS AHH!!!
6:26 what was that "cough", Rayla 😂
6:47 Callum's like: Rayla this isn't helping-
8:20 he got so angry oml
9:00 I'm not crying!
9:29 she sound genuinely confused lol
10:04 SHE LOOKS SO HAPPY!!! AWWWW
10:24 OMG look at his face!!!! AH!!
10:47 we still talking to Nyx? LOL
11:03 - 11:26 trying not to fangirl to crazily since almost my entire family is in here...
11:35 - 12:05 THEY ARE SO CUTE OML
12:28 a little disappointed Ezran's part wasn't there but it's cute nonetheless
12:51 the butterflies!
13:02 the way she says that 😂
13:55 I'M NOT CRYING AGAIN YOU ARE!!
14:16 YES!! HEHE!!
14:24 *internal screaming*
This was great! 😁
Yup, this is pretty accurate lol
aww i smiled reading all that, cause i was the same way haha
@@The-Apothekari XD
This compilation needed the bit with them on the leaf!
It's such a well written relationship, definitely one of my top 3 ships
8:42 istg that’s the calmest, quietest, softest, “it’s okay?” Ever.😭
hEs KæNd aNd BrÆve AnD… hEs… mA fRæNd
So grateful I found this series by chance and finished it in 2 days
Gosh... That accent!!! (I can listen to her talk all day)
I know right
Every wish I had granted... in one series. The dragon prince. Amazing 👏
re-watching the dragon prince right now and i love them so muchh🥺
I miss when they were like this
This is one of my favorite cartoon couples.
"It's because I'm charming right? Despite it all you can't help but like me?"
Honestly she's right 😂
The romance in this series feels very organic and refreshing in comparison to the usual stuff. They overdue it with the jokes in the serious parts a little, but i can look past that. Great Show! Can't wait to see 4 more seasons of it.^-^
this makes me feel warm and fuzzy. also cold and alone but still.
Its wholesome
Hang in there champ. Focus on yourself, growing and loving yourself, and your time will come ❤️
I believe in you!
I watched the entire show in a single day
As much as I love that these two are together now, I'm beside myself with worry knowing there's still 4 more seasons coming. So much can happen in that much time.
I really hope they make it all the way to the finale.
Are more seasons confirmed? It’s been a while.
@@davidlance4683 They have 7 seasons planned so far.
@@TheGreyParse Any release dates?
@@davidlance4683 late 2022 or early 2023 for season 4.
I trust the writers to make it work no matter what, but I literally don't think I could keep watching if they split up. Mostly because I think for that to happen one of them would have to do something really out of character in a way that would be a deal breaker for me.
They just ended up writing two characters that are so perfect for each other I can't think of a way to separate them romantically without it feeling forced (obviously they could separate them in the narrative by having them have different quests or something, even if they're still together romantically so they can undergo some solo growth and then have a big reunion)
Absolutely lovely video. Only thing I see missing is the Silvergrove dance scene. The pure joy from both of them was beautiful.
Also the scene of them riding the big leaf together!
11:20 can we talk about the fact that the one chick didnt say a word while this happend she a real one
Nyx
Let it be known that Reyla made the first moves. First a shoulder tap. Then a hug.
The Sky Elf lady with the giant camel… thing… is most definitely one of my favourite characters in this show.
The producers confirmed her comeback in season 4
@@MontanaSpeck_69 Thank you Jesus! You truly are my saviour!
@@AndorRadnai you're welcome
@@MontanaSpeck_69 I can only imagine when someone says the ‘who asked’ argument in a comment section you just reply to them with just a
‘Hey’
Lol
Ezran looked so confused when they were kissing 😅 Then he got the big shock.
This was literally the best thing I’ve seen, it brought back the memories.
Rayla is the best character of the show
I now need to go watch the whole show again
We need more wholesome stuff like this. Seriously.
It seems I'm the first to come back here after the Season 4 trailer. With the 3 year gap, I honestly thought the show was canceled, grieved for the loss of these two, and moved on. And then low and behold, they're back! I don't even watch the show! I just watch these two, and I'm very glad their story isn't over.
*2 year gap
I. LOVE. THIS.
"daddy how did you and mommy make me?"
"Well buddy... someday, when you grow up, we're gonna have a long talk about sandwiches."
Ah yes the sandwich talk
@@starcraft8555 "hm.. your breath still smells like peanut butter 😩"
Breaking Bad may have pleasantly surprised me and blown me away but the Dragon Prince is still my favorite show on Netflix!
Try scissor seven its awesome
I have never clicked anything even remotely related to TDP because I hadn't seen the show until yesterday, when I binged it because I had nothing else to do. Now suddenly this shows up in my yt reccommended? HOW DOES THE ALGORITHM KNOW!?!?!?
I’m a 24 year old man in college pursuing being a MRR and when I saw them kissed I screamed like a little bitch 🤣😂
Proud of you 👍
me too
based
"w-well you were gone for a while so uh.. this is a thing now"
Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa-
This show was made by the same people who made Avatar and it shows. Truly remarkable.
I tried to wait for season four to rewatch TDP, but I couldn't. This is a series I wish I could watch for the first time again.
When they kissed in front of Ezran I laughed so hard
6:10 The Guru was right: Love is a form of energy
One thing luz and Callum have in common: Elf GF.
(Yes, I know Amity is witch, but a comic I read had Luz think of Amity as a Elf GF.)
Agreed
I honestly didn’t think I would like them as a couple this much, but they’re very cute ☺️
I cannot believe you didn’t include silvergrove. Rayla and Callum doing that dance, Rayla excitedly showing Callum around…
didn't have room for it, but there are lots of clips i'd love to include in another video!
@@wordswithdragons9599 your other videos are pretty nice. Keep up the good work!
Not to mention them riding the leaf!
I have not watched this series yet but this seems interesting. I’ll give it a watch later and these two are amazing together.
and then they lived happily ever after.
This is really well edited and selected but there is a tinny quality to the audio which detracts from it a bit. If you can get a hold of an mkv copy of the show you can convert it to an mp3 using a program like Wondershare Uniconverter and then edit it using free software like Davinci Resolve or paid software like Adobe Premier Pro to get a better quality clip.
Thank you for the suggestions! I'm still in early days of editing so my software and programs is a work in progress, but I'll look into these for sure!
2:00 rayla is absolutely dogged on
Season three DESTROYED Claudium shippers
I’m crying🤣
Do not remind me of what I used to be.
Callum: and this kids is how I met your mother
14:34 Ah These Two Lovebirds Of Callum And Rayla.
We got 6 kisses the fact theres going to be 4 more seasons-
Now usually I cringe instinctively in these kinds of scenes even if I love the show again it's just instinctive with the amount Tele novela my parents watched but this? even my subconsciousness understands the wholesomeness of this couple
I didn't clock their relationship developing at the first watch at all...
Now that I'm watching this, they're actually really cute
Fingers crossed they release season 4 in 2022 as long as there is no more controversial hiccups causing it to remain in production hell.
According to the creators, all of season 4 audio has been recorded, the storyboards and animatics are complete, and they're currently animating each episode. So, if all goes well, it'll be released sometime in late 2022. :D
yep
Okay Am I the only one who thinks that they’re are just the cutest couple in cartoon history
cutest straight cartoon couple
they set the bar so high
I just re-read through the Moon, which means the most logical thing to do is watch Rayllum content so the two cancel each other out haha...
The graphic novel really likes to make sure I can never go too long without worrying about my favourite dorky characters.
