Happy bi visibility day to Jules Milone, Fennbirn’s favourite bisexual

[queens-of-fennbirn]

Oddly enough, I have a headcanon about Nicolas Martel’s background:

Even if it’s not Confirmed™ by Kendare Blake, I think Nicolas is from Salkades

This is because in One Dark Throne, he mentions his country has had many coups and because @queencamden noted his physical appearance is similar to a suitor in Illian’s time who was from Salkades

Nicolas implies he’s participated in or experienced at least one coup

Which makes no sense because he’s still a teenager

I want to say that Salkades is run by a military dictatorship, because it’s described as “warlike”

And Nicolas has to be from an important family to be considered as a suitor

I’d like to propose the idea that Nicolas’s father is the leader of the regime

Because if you want to remain in power, you wouldn’t send a random suitor from another powerful family to Fennbirn Island

You’d want to send your only son, who’s eager to follow in his father’s footsteps and take over his role once he dies

So, with all of these attempted coups, Nicolas’s father wants to put them to an end by allying with Fennbirn and using the gifts from the island to permanently put an end to the dissidence

Nicolas goes to the island and reports to his father on the skills of the poisoner queen and what he learns about the gifts on the island

By marrying Katharine and her becoming queen, Nicolas is 100% sure that he’s secured power for his family to continue ruling Salkades

He’s really smug about it, because he thinks he’s so clever and deserving and it means that he’ll be a powerful leader

But the idiot doesn’t realize that even though he thinks he’s the main character of his story, he’s actually expendable and a minor character in the actual story

While Nicolas’s family is celebrating in Salkades and the opposition thinks everything is lost, Nicolas is killed by the poisoner queen

Unbeknownst to Queen Katharine, who is panicking and horrified by her poisoned skin, she has just taken out a key player in a centuries-long attempt to wrestle power away from an authoritarian regime

To top off the embarrassment of the Martel family’s premature celebration, Katharine also unknowingly adds to the humiliation by telling them Nicolas fell off his horse and fell into a ravine

Thousands of kilometres away, a revolution starts in earnest in Salkades

What’s your opinion on Madrigal? I noticed that nobody ever talks about her so I was wondering what everyone thinks.

Personally, I don’t hate her but I don’t like her either. She’s selfish and vain and kind of rude. She left Jules for nine(?) years and wronged Caragh in so many ways. But then again, she’s trying. She’s trying to rekindle her relationship with Jules. She’s trying to help Arsinoe. She’s trying to do what she thinks is best.

But yeah. That’s what I think.

[queens-of-fennbirn]

Queen Katarine is now finished. Still in the planning stages on Mirabella and Arsinoe. And I need to talk about The Oracle Queen! Im shook. The Arrons are pure evil.

[queens-of-fennbirn]

Katharine: I could kill you if I wanted to.

Arsinoe: Yeah? So could another human being….

Katharine:

Arsinoe: So could a dog.

Katharine:

Arsinoe: So could a dedicated duck.

Katharine:

Arsinoe: You aren’t special, Katharine.

[queens-of-fennbirn]

High Priestess Luca and the Westwood family: I supported and protected Mirabella.

Elizabeth: You fucked up a perfectly good queen is what you did. Look at her. She's got anxiety.

[queens-of-fennbirn]

So I guess I’m a confirmed elemental. What are you?

Billy's Origins

What if Billy isn’t really who he says he is? What if Billy’s hen isn’t just a pet? What if Harriet was his familiar all along and when Mirabella found her he had to make up a story to save his cover? What if all along, Billy was from Fennbirn and he was moved to the mainland at a young age so that later they could use him to get close to the queens as a suitor and manipulate the outcome? Because obviously the naturalists are sick of the poisoners and they thought that a naturist suitor would be able to kill the poisoner queen during the ascension with out anyone thinking it was him. And that’s why his dad got so mad when he stopped following the plan to suit Katharine because how else was he going to kill her? If maybe Billy’s plan was to protect the naturalist queen instead of targeting just one of the other two, leaving her open to the elemental.

This could be the next big getting-shoved-into-a-pit plot twist y'all.

 (But it’s probably just a pet)
