More ADAHS headcannons

I imagine Lethe's personality as an orange cat (once he warms up to people) he has a lot of stupid idea's collected over the years, he gets bursts of energy, also will bring Cel shiny things he finds.

Vehan will go for runs with no direction and just zone out, then he'll be entirely lost when he zones back in.

Arlo is a booktok girly, she's a romance reader, mostly reading cute stuff but she's definitely found herself reading things that are less than family friendly.

Nausicaa is a language nerd and out of pure boredom over the years she has learnt a bunch of languages.

Aurelian is also a booktok girly but doesn't read as much contemporary romance, he read more fantasy and sci-fi.

Aurelian also definitely forced Vehan to sit down with him and watch good omens and dr. who.

Celadon is unbeaten at board games; the group will do board game nights and Cel always comes first at this point it's a war for second place.

Lethe has like a million-step skin and hair care routine; he researches all the products he uses and guards his hair like a prison.

Nausicaa hasn't read a book in a hundred years, but she has watched a majority of what Netflix has to offer.

Arlo did Ballet when she was young and wishes she kept doing it.

Cel can ice skate really well entirely unironically.

Vehan is super flexible and never utilizes it unless drunk or something.

Aurelian is scarily photogenic, like someone will snap a random picture of everyone and they'll all be pulling an odd face and he'll just be looking perfect.

Theo, Vehan and Cel all growing up in royal positions all can ride horses and play polo and will just do random intense competitions but get the others to join when they cannot ride horses.

Lethe is a plant dad and has like a greenhouse with a bunch of named plants that he will steal for to keep alive.

Vehan from the Hollow Star saga by Ashley Shuttleworth

[catastrophic-chaoss]

sometimes a family can just be a gullible prince who somehow embodies all the goodness left in humanity (despite not even being human), his emo hot topic bodyguard boyfriend who watches star trek, an ex fury with a bad temper and a sick fashion sense who hates everyone except her socially anxious ginger girlfriend whos probably more powerful than all of them combined. 

[michellejackson]

no it’s so funny because arlo and vehan are so sweet and innocent and dare i say dumb, because they just trust everyone and believe the best in people while aurelian and nausicaä watches them make decisions like

YOU DESERVE IT BESTIE 💙💙💙💙

💭 for Vehan x Aurelian and Arlo x Nausicaä from ADaHS (that’s like my favourite book ever and I’m pretty sure you’ve mentioned it once of twice but sorry if I’m remembering incorrectly 😅)

Thank you (:

Yes, I read the Hollow Star series (I even got book 2 a few days early because my bookstore send it already)

I love Arlo, Nausicaä, Vehan and Aurelian. Arlo I find the most relatable out of them and I love how much she grows and of course she's going to fall in love with the hot, morally grey ex Fury (so did I). And I love how Nausicaä is super antagonistic with everyone but has such a soft spot for Arlo.

Vehan is so sweet but I also feel so bad for him and how he is super lonely and thinks Aurelian hates him when Aurelian just wants to protect him. They have such a great dynamic and needed communication so badly.

I also find it adorable how Vehan is in the Celadon fan club

I have yet to recover from the ending of book 2 and can't wait for book 3

[incorrecthollowstar]

Vehan: I wish for nothing to separate us again, and to spend every moment knowing you will always come back to me. I wish to never have any further obligations so I can remain by your side, and to do everything in my power to make you happy

Aurelian:

Aurelian: gay

Reasons why you should read A Dark and Hollow Star by Ashley Shuttleworth (they/them):

All four mcs are LGBT+, wlw and mlm, childhood best friends to lovers, mutual pining, sunshine x grumpy...

It gives off City of Bones vibes, but with modern faeries with magic and who use technology A LOT and talk about serious topics (f you rich and privileged shits) like depression, death, drugs, etc. Also, there's a fandom made for a particularly handsome and clever Fae prince.

They/them and neo pronouns are mentioned!!

This book is funny, sassy, clever, intriguing and different. Especially Nausicaä (an immortal badass with smoke powers) is extremely sassy, swears a lot and causes a lot of chaos.

The characters are far from perfect, they struggle with mental health issues and their pasts, make bad decisions but also keep going.

The book has multiple POVs but the story picks up quickly and never gets boring, all characters have purpose and their own personalities that set them apart.

The character interactions are cute and you find yourself grinning widely because of a small gesture or action.

nausicaä: so here's the plan. i go in, i start stabbing people and we see where that takes us

arlo: no. absolutely not.

Hollow Star Saga Book Four Predictions

okay so since i've finished agasv it's time for my predictions for the next book:

the CeLeTheo polycule

so i remember Ashley mentioned that there's possibility for a polyam and the moment i heard that i was just immediately like, 'oh, they're definitely talking about Theo, Celadon and Lethe right?'

like i'm not the only one who thought Celedon and Theo had insane levels of chemistry in both agasv AND acafl???

and Celedon and Lethe are already super cute and canon by the end of agasv too??

I'd honestly love it if Lethe and Theo end up being into each other too like the dynamic sounds super fun.

anyway that's the prediction Celedon x Theo x Lethe is canon next book (i'm gonna look like such an idiot if i'm wrong)

2. dragon Theo???

now i'm not too sure about this one but maybe (just maybe) Theo's a dragon?

i remember i made this prediction all the way back when adahs was released and there was that random paragraph in the beginning on how people can be dragons without realizing it. i was like 'okay, so one of the characters we care about has to be a dragon right??'

by process of elimination i reached the conclusion that Theo was the dragon out of all of them.

i remember when we found out that his grand aunt is a dragon i freaked out like i was so proud of myself for reaching that conclusion cause there's a high chance that he inherited those traits.

buuuuuuuuuuuut i'm not too sure whether that's actually going to be explored or bought up or even be true in the next book so this is a very tentative theory.

3. if Riadne dies, then who's killing her?

okay so i'm not too confident about this because i don't actually know if Riadne will die in book 4, at least in the traditional sense. but if it does happen the potential candidates are;

Theo: NO LISTEN I'M NOT BEING BIASED ACTUALLY FR HEAR ME OUT; Theo wants to rule over seelie summer, and if i'm not mistaken you need to defeat the existing head in order to do that so... maybe? admittedly its not very likely though cause there aren't enough emotional stakes. unless Riadne just murders his parents or smth in the first half lmao. i'll say 5% chance

Arlo: since we're talking about murdering parental figures... yeah. i'd say there's like a 10% chance that it's Arlo who kills Riadne maybe?

Celadon: 25% chance it'll be Celadon simply for the emotional stakes... and murdering parental figures. but actually if we're talking about someone who needs to stab their mom in order to get over their mommy issues...

Vehan: him having some kind of arc in which he's vaguely unhinged would go so hard. sadly, however, it probably won't happen. he's still most likely to kill Riadne at 50% chance, because the angst would be so good.

others: this is just me covering up my tracks in case my top guesses are wrong so that i don't look like a total idiot. Lethe, Nausicaa and Aurelian take up the remaining 10%. although i seriously doubt it'll be any of them. if it is though, Lethe's most likely to and Aurelian's least likely to.

honestly the more i think about it Riadne probably won't be killed by someone else. either she'll manage to get herself killed in her quest for power or she won't die at all. it doesn't feel like all the loose ends would be tied up if she did (watch as she dies at the hands of someone i didn't mention on this list.)

5. Vehan does some insane shit

this actually isn't me pushing my let Vehan go batshit crazy agenda. i mean insane as in he's going to have a major battle or show off some huge feat of power.

extra points if it happens in front of Riadne.

i think the best case scenario is a Riadne vs Vehan fight scene.

6. Who's the big bad?

see this is more of a discussion than a prediction cause i know Riadne's our main antagonist but i feel like there might be an overarching one as well.

easiest answer to this is Cosmin, and honestly, yeah it probably is him. however, Luck seems like they have a good head on them and that they might stop him from doing anything that would harm Arlo, so i actually think that maybe, just maybe it's someone else.

Fate, maybe? i'm not sure, but it seems we don't like them.

it could be another one of the titans but i'm not too sure they'd introduce a completely new major antagonist by the fourth book.

7. Theo has a bigger role.

there's no evidence no nothing i'm just manifesting stfu

My predictions for A Wild and Ruined Song (AGASV SPOLIERS!!)

No one asked but here is an incomplete list of what I think will happen.

So, since Arlo traded her role as the Hollow Star for Vehans role of Ruin, Vehan will be the Hollow Star, but it won't look the same way as it did for Arlo.

Arlo is going to get a lot of badass revenge (duh).

Celadons going to go on a whole thing if recruiting other courts and people into his new and improved system.

The majority of Vehan and Aurelian chapters they will be together (and they deserve it)

Theo will end up getting the leader of the seelie, and Aurelian will get the Wild but with Vehan helping him as Vehan has far more diplomatic sense.

Lethe will be more comfortable around everyone (yay)

Nausicaa is going to be pissed at Celadon and Lethe.

Nausicaa will get her heart back (and be even more pissed)
