A friend made this TikTok Edit
@Russellshawwife is my friend's TikTok account, and she asked me to tell you all that she's sorry the edit flopped because she hasn't edited in years and is therefore rusty with it.
Also, what do you think? Would Zaheer, Ghazan, and Uncle Iroh make a good team together if, by any chance, they were in another universe?
And don't worry, she allowed me to share this clip with you
I’m literally unwell whenever I think about how much estinien loves people
When Nidhogg is highly implied to be using the Dravanian feature of hyper-adaptability and physical response to the environment to force his children to grow up in a matter of years at most (it takes a millennium for a dragonet to mature, so how do you think he’s been able to replenish the Horde’s ranks multiple times? The down wyverns in the Aery hatch in a small and weak but mature form, ready to swarm you, so a lot of the dragons you've been killing may or may not have been children) though selective breeding which he canonically does bc Vishap’s lore straight up says he’s been selectively bred to be a siege weapon, combined with the fact DRG 60-70 straight up says with Faunehm that dragons cannot resist the calls and orders of their sires or else they literally go insane, lore that’s existed since ARR, and none of this is used to highlight the fact that although Nidhogg’s reasons are just, the damage he has inflicted on the Horde (his own brood) is just as bad if not worse than the Vault and just like the Ishgardians the Dravanian Horde is held in an iron grip they cannot escape by Nidhogg’s rancor, but it doesn’t matter bc the dragons are just enemies that exist for you to kill and you are not to question this unless it's a special named dragon or any dragon that isn't the Dravanian Horde
estinien should appear on the overworld like alpha
i should be able to just look up and see him perched on random parkour spots and he jumps away when you get up to him
really loving that estinien is just "wol 2" at this point. he finally learned how to cope in healthy ways and accepted a support group and now he's just doing whatever he wants. he goes on an adventure just because he feels like it. he's fighting stuff and using his draconic-level strength for good. he might not always have context for whats going on but he's down to help. he's making connections in his own weird ways. he's out here eating a lot of things and sightseeing and enjoying himself.
thinking about how strongly estinien is associated with themes of finding freedom. being freed from nidhogg's influence and getting to see both dravania and coerthas freed from war. the freedom he has to re-find himself after two decades being fueled by vengeance and hate. freeing himself from the grief that was consuming him so he can finally move forward and learn to live and love again.
wind is so commonly associated with freedom, movement, and new beginnings, its very thematically appropriate that estinien's sacrifice in ultima thule returns the wind. he gifts both us and the dragons there the chance to keep moving forward, too
