also I recall that in book one they said something about the fingers being “relocked” because they’d look stupid if their fingers lit up? And then the relocking never happened and we get adults with fingerglows? WTF???

I'm going to touch on this more when I write my OTK review but GOD, the Camelot years plot would have benefitted immensely from SGE having a hard magic system. since there's basically no rules for anything, there's no real way to coherently track the plot since whenever Soman needs something to happen he just invents a new bit of magic that can do it? For a series about a magic school it seems odd that the magic system basically has no rules-- it's not to say that soft magic systems are bad or don't work, but in this case I think everyone would have felt less incredulous abt some of OTKs stuff if the twists had relied less on new information about new magic stuff and had been more rooted in stuff we already knew. Basically no one uses the spells they learned at school anyway so it feels pointless hh

Tolkien’s word of the day

It was at this moment that Melkor spoke once more, saying, “I can see your torment and know it, yet has a time truly come when Thû the lord of Mordor forsakes his allies and breaks all ties? Or shall his forces rain upon the enemy once more in honor and wrath?” “They shall rain,” said Sauron, “but it will be with prying eyes and hidden whispers.”

I know the feeling!!

You know what’s sad? There’s this particular ship that I just cannot get behind and it actually annoys me so much because it’s normally the kind of thing that I love. It’s dramatic and angsty and ends terribly (it’s a canon ship). One of the characters is one of my favourite ever fictional characters. I love that this mess is part of their story line! But I can’t enjoy it. The other character involved is one of very few fictional characters that I can say that I actively dislike. Every time they open their mouth I want them to shut up. I see them appear and think “oh no, now I have to listen to them” *shudder* It’s so sad, everything else about this ship is right up my street and I would normally be all over it T_T

Might I add: Japeth did something to Kiko that put burns on her arms! AND MADE HER CRY! I think he also licked Sophie, which is just weird.

i read qfg again, against my better judgement

break time over, gonna ruin my view of sge once more by reading this book 😌

hi im pollux and ill be your freestyle dance instructor

tedros likes the scent of honeysuckle. calls it his favorite

merlin has two theories as to why tedros can't pull excalibur: there's either a trial he has to beat to prove his worthiness as king to the sword, or a powerful outside source is manipulating it

i’ve got a funny feeling that both are going to be the case in otk

I HATE AGATHA’S CHARACTERIZATION SO. MUCH.

tedros bites agatha's neck 👀👀👀 slow down there buddy we're only 80 pages in

why do tedros and sophie rag on each other so much ;(( yes, it's been a while, and stress is weighing down on everyone, but tlea ended on the note of tedros inviting sophie to stay in camelot with them. they were friends!! FRIENDS!!

if a minor character gets a pov chapter in TCY you KNOW they're gonna die

hort is so entitled it makes me sick ;((( that is sophie’s TWIN SISTER and you’re JEALOUS that agatha gets a kiss on the cheek? i don’t understand how we’re meant to pity or relate to him at this point. i rly hope he gets some character development instead of just a heroic death in otk. do it for the hort stans soman

and im sorry but hort “waiting out sophie’s I’m An Independent Woman phase” is just. undeniably horrible.

WHY! DO! PEOPLE! THINK! THIS! IS! A! GOOD! SHIP!

lmao the hophie stans are gonna come @ me for this

so basically:

the lion: rhian

the snake: japeth

the eagle: tedros

am i right?

pg 151. the narration describes nicola as being “a girl [agatha]’s age”. pg. 170. sophie refers to hort being “hardly older than [nicola]”. my work here is done. my purpose has been fulfilled. nicola is the same age as the main four. I Am Tired.

EVEN AT THE BEGINNING OF QFG ITS IMPLIED THAT BOGDEN AND WILLAM ARE GOING TO HAVE MAJOR ROLES

w h y i s s o m a n s l e e p i n g o n t h e m

he rly just can’t leave the main trio, can he

and of course the main character that requires the most development is hort, bc even at the end of the tlea his only purpose was to simp for sophie. but of course soman isn’t going to give us that and is just going to undo and butcher the main trio’s character arcs :)

nicola is the best part of qfg. there. i said it. she was there for my emo bby self when agatha’s character development wasn’t. honestly, nicola barely fits in with the rest of the cast bc she’s so dynamic. her character ACTUALLY SERVES A PURPOSE unlike the 1 million new characters soman keeps introducing. if it weren’t for her, i prolly wouldn’t be able to get through this book

i wish she played a bigger role ;((

i feel like hicola + nicola were supposed to be more grounded parts of TCY, but then soman received backlash for ruining the prospects of hophie and now he’s back-pedaling by removing nicola from the narrative, writing hort as a shitty boyf to nicola, etc. girl barely got her time to shine before the fandom cancelled her huh

if hort could just let go of his unhealthy (and quite frankly, unrealistic) infatuation with sophie, hicola could very well be a solid ship. the two balance each other out far better than hophie does. hophie’s dynamic is just so… extreme, and i don’t think i’m ever going to be able to look past all the manipulation and entitlement that sophie and hort have forced on each other.

obviously im rooting for nicphie but we know that won’t happen xxx i seriously would love if hicola was endgame, hort got over sophie entirely and started treating nicola right, and sophie was fully competent with being single.

the enemies to lovers dynamic w/ nicphie is SO GOOD GUYS,,,, there’s so much material there, which is rare for this series

“well, i’m sorry if i insulted your father’s nuts” SOPHIE N O

in the handbook, nicola’s friend hunter fills out the SGE application for her, but in QFG nicola assumes that her brothers did it. is this just a miscommunication (that probably won’t be rectified on otk)? or is hunter just another non-canon part of the handbook?

nicola being alarmed at the thought that her crush might have dressed up to see her is such a mood

is it so much to ask of soman that he stop referring to sophie and agatha, twin sisters, as lovers, girlfriends, etc

that being said, they act more like best friends than they do sisters, which is understandable ig, but,,, ugh. it's all so confusing and annoying. i wish they weren't sisters fr fr

that being said, why doesn't anyone know they're sisters? surely that's mentioned in the Tale of Sophie and Agatha. and you’d kinda assume that they’d let they're friends know “hey, we're sisters”,,,,,,,

oh wait! i forgot! NO ONE FUCKING COMMUNICATES WITH EACH OTHER IN THIS SERIES

anyway

what was uma doing in those weeks she couldn't be at the school to teach?

why does everyone, EVEN SOPHIE, act like chaddick was such hot shit? yeah, he's tedros’s friend and his murder was horrible, but none of these characters had actual RELATIONSHIPS with him. everyone seems way too broken up over a dude they knew nothing about.

and he wasn't tedros’s “most loyal companion”??? wtf??? that might've been his assumed role as a character, but we never saw chaddick and tedros interact outside of making comments about pretty girls in book 1

Soman Develop Relationships Outside Of The Main Trio Challenge

im so sick of agatha sophie and tedros ok. this trilogy was just so unnecessary. am i excited for future books in the SGE universe? FUCK YEAH, i hope we get to read about beatrix or nicola or ravan or litterally anyone that isn't the main trio. i’m still kinda scared he’ll pull a fast one on us though and write another book about these three ;()

tedros once made agatha’s undergarments float through the castle for hours bc he’s just THAT shitty at magic

i get we’re supposed to feel bad for lady gremlaine but i honestly can't stand her

remember when we thought kei and beatrix and reena and EVERYONE was going to be a major part of the trilogy bc of the qfg countdown??? sorry sisters, it's all main trio all the time in soman town 😌

it's actually amazing that soman can spend two paragraphs describing rhian when he is literally just a white boy. like he has no defining characteristics whatsoever but the narrative still gives a concise description of him. im attracted to boys and im a writer but i could never do what soman’s doing, i’ll give him that

how could they not see the rhian twist coming ;( of COURSE he's evil

nothing annoys me more than the capitalization of Truth / Lies, Past / Present, etc

agatha threatening to make sophie share a bed with beatrix on the igraine is prime sophtrix fic material

ravan in the same room as the main trio 👌😔 im so proud of him, really moving up in the world

WHEN HESTER AND ANADIL RIP AT THE SHERIFF

ONE OF THE ONLY GOOD QFG SCENES

tedros really knocked a door off it's hinges huh

wait,,,,,, when we're first introduced to the snake, he has blue eyes, but when they encounter him in the sheriff's house, he has green eyes……

ah yes, the campfire scene. wherein we see every couple making out, even the couple inside a fucking tent, but the extent we see hestadil do is “lean against each other”

sophie’s willing to open the tent that they can hear “kissing and giggling” from inside of, but no one's willing to check up on hestadil…… ok soman whatever you say xx

wow! finished! that was a horrible experience and i never want to go through it again.
