Chapter 4 continuation 👇

*Inhale* 📢 You touch tiddy?? You touch a woman's tiddy like a criminal?! Oh! Oh! Dirty little boy! >:(( Horny jail for you! Horny jail for One Thousand years!!!

(Yes, this is a Miette parody)

Okay, thank my lack of maturity 😘 Let's move on before I make a fool of myself (also, not me talking about the ghost as if he's younger than Taryn while he is in fact way older 😂)

This reminds me of the beginning of book 1, how Jude and Taryn had to stay away from the revel because it was too dangerous for them and they risked humiliation and/or being hurt. And now they can't dance with eachother because they have to pretend to be at odds for Taryn to gather useful intel... This is just so unfair, please idk what the plans are for this fic and I have no idea where it's at rn but I'm begging for a happy and heartwarming dancing scene between the twins 😭 My girlies need their hearts healed in many ways and this is one of them.

The Ghost be like "hold on, I'm trying to find a witty comeback 😭" deflecting so ungracefully, you're not fooling anyone boy 🤨

(Alternatively, if Taryn were more of a little shit, instead of phrasing it like a question, she would be like "Ooooo you want me sooo bad! You want to kiss me so bad it makes you look stupid! 😊❤️")

Hold up- this is Greenbriar men behaviour 😂 I'm so delusional because of twk and tpt that I thought he was about to confess or ask for her hand in marriage... But no, it was just a weapon aha

This is lovely 😭

For some reason I also always felt like Taryn's kid would be a girl so ngl I was slightly disappointed when it turned out to be a son... like I know it's the weirdest thing to care about but idk, I liked the idea of Taryn being a girl-mom but instead we'll have another little boy with gancanagh powers 😮‍💨 It was probably because most men of the family are either dead or exiled so Holly wanted to add a boy amongst all the girlies but come on...

Why didn't you keep the section 🥺 (And according to my quick research it's like- Italian Rapunzel or something? Except the mom had promised to give the daughter away, though in Taryn's case it would 100% be a trick cause ain't no way she'll give Aspen to anyone.)

Okay! I'll stop here for today! It legit takes me less time to read the chapter than to gather the quotes/screenshots 😅 I could probably catch up on this pretty quickly if I didn't do this but I'll try to keep up more nonetheless

"My name is whatever you decide" a read-through (together?)

So I've wanted to read this fic series for a while now since its main characters are Taryn and The Ghost (very underrated in the fandom imo) It is written by the lovely and talented @maingh0st and you can read it here.

I've already read the first chapter on my side before this but I gotta say:

I imagine Taryn kind of looking like a fierce angel here! 🫣 If Jude has the horns, then Taryn always has the halos of flowers and lights of course.

Chapter 2 and 3 reactions/comments under the cut 👇

Me rn: *feeling super dumb because I'm not sure I get it*

Ngl one of my first thoughts was "he must be saying Locke's estate looks hella ugly like his personality" but that might just be the Locke hater in my heart, he might also mean that Taryn deserves more?? Listen idk I'm probably misunderstanding what's going on here cause am dumb but we'll get through this together 🤝

This is making me sad. Taryn clearly gave so much of herself into this relationship while Locke just wanted to have dumb fun. This is horrendous. The girl had her loyalty tested by having to give up on her twin sister's favor, she redecorated his whole ugly-ass half-abandoned estate, she filled the closets with brand new clothes, made herself as fun and pleasant as she could, entertained his guests and probably even ate faerie fruit every evening to build resistance so she wouldn't 100% lose herself in his revels and this is all he gave her: the bare-minimum promise of marrying her, allowing her to live in his house and organize parties with him. Bro should go seek failure management.

Idk why but this phrasing is so cute to me. Like, Taryn saying "call your ghost" is so girly pop of her 💅

100% done on purpose, she had him in his pocket from the beginning. Like "haha whoopsie ☺️ please don't forget that I have power over you so you better be pleasant with me 🌸" The Ghost was quaking in his boots.

The ghost is being very curious 🧐 I see you. I wonder how Taryn would react if he actually asked these questions, though this seems like the type of shit he'd ask only years and years into a relationship with her, like they'll be sitting in front of the fireplace and suddenly out of nowhere "how did you kill Locke by the way?" "hmm I don't remember, I just kind of acted on impulse" The Ghost better not piss her off, ever. 😂

Didn't see this coming but it is an interesting direction to take! Also, already loving their banter 📝

So basically she's doing Locke's job, but way better 😤 Keep turning in your grave bozo. Hope Nicasia found his corpse in the sea and she lowkey fears/respects Taryn now.

I love how smart and resourceful Taryn is in this, like in my HEART I already knew she was but this portrayal of her is so nice and matches the canon imo.
