AHHHHHHRGE - me @ that stupid ass character in the first couple of chapters

just thought and feelings as I read the Fourth Wing

Chapter 1 to ♾️: Fuck you jack~

Chapter 16: I’m full of rage b/c of this stupid stupid stupid character. I’m gonna fist fight a fictional character. Right now.

- Dain Aetos has had me in a rage since start. He’s going to be the reason she gets hurt. Cannot change my mind on that.

- also my favorite character is Garrick

- DONT ACT LIKE YOU DIDNT JUST TRY AND TAK HER OUT OF CHOOSING BOTH OF THEM DAIN

- not even two seconds after I started listening to the book again, DAIN FUCKING KISSED HER! FUCK YOU DAIN! I had to pause the book and take a moment of silence. Dain made me contemplate running the car off the road. That how much I don’t like him.

- I’m so glad there Violet and Dains kiss SUCKED ASS

- GET IT RHIANNON!! YOU GO GIRL

- Again, I love Garrick. Love him to death.

- Dain, my boy, you are stupid af. You don’t kiss a girl then TURN AROUND AND TELL HER YOU CANNOT BREAK THE RULE AND BE WITH HER YOU IDIOT

- I love you Imogen

- it’s me realizing that the dislike Tairn has for Dain is the same as my dislike for Dain

- Dain needs to calm the fuck down before he loses a fuckin life. He also needs to realize that Violet is nowhere near his property or EVEN HIS GIRLFRIEND and calm the fuck down. I want Tairn to burn him. Rn.

- No. don’t give that bitch boi ANY FUCKING SYMPATHY. You want to ‘help’ Dain? THEN FUCK THE FUCK OFF BITCH

-OOH POP OFF VIOLENCE GET EM DONT LET THAT MAN CHILD TELL YOU WHAT TO DO

- 1. I feel bad for Jeremiah (?) 2. Him reading Dains thoughts out loud is so fuckin funny

- not those kid’s attacking her in her sleep, she better kick their asses

- I need this child to hurry up and realize she’s wants to fuck this man cause god damn girl, he’s wants to eat you head to toe, and not in the cannibalistic way bestie

- I NEW GOLDIE WAS A BABY <3

- who the fuck unlocked the door?

- girl, thank god you finally admitted to wanting to fuck him 👏🏼👏🏼

- I FUCKING NEW IT! AMBER YOU FUCKING BITCH

- it’s the way Dain keeps showing his true self. She wanted Violet dead. Your best friend, Dain. I hate Dain so so so so very much

- I’m glad Jack is dead but I feel for Violet. Fuck Jack for stabbing Liam.

- YEA XADEN PUT DAIN IN HIS MF PLAcE

- I’m so goddamn glad they finally fucking but pls wording is killing me 😭

- NOT THEM BREAKING THE FUCKING DOOR IM DEAD

- 🫣🫢😧 - my face during this scene

- DID HER MOM HURT OUR BOY?

- OH LOL not the ‘don’t fall for me’

- “Should I get the Wingleader?” Tairn you’re stoooop

- I I I don’t I don’t know. She’s did NOT just say “loved” I’m gonna kick this girls ass. Ahhhhh

- Bitch, don’t be mad at the Dragons.

- her dad still helping her <3

-chapter 35 - did the gov set up the babies? Did they willing let them travel in a group larger than 3 because they are setting them up to kill them all? I’m heart can not handle this

- oh no.. oh no no no.. fuuuck

- Dain better fucking die.

- I’m cry 😭 those poor babies

- chapter 36- well why don’t you just rip my heart out and shove it in a shredder.

- 1. Violet need to understand, had Xaden told her, he would be risking a lot of lives. 2. Dain violated Violet, it was not her fault.

[somewhere-in-the-rain]

Sobbing because Violet was willing to die for Xaden, even before she knew he loved her back.

In the interrogation chamber beneath Basgiath, Violet refused to talk, even when Varrish hurt her over and over again, purely out of her love for Xaden. She said herself in this scene that she thought Xaden would never put her before the revolution, and yet she was still willing to die down there to protect his secrets.

This is so heartbreaking to think about, especially after the previous scene when Violet had come to terms with the fact that Xaden might never be able to love her back. “I know he cares about me. Maybe it isn’t love. Maybe after all he’s been through, he isn’t capable of that emotion.”

We talk all the time about how Xaden loves Violet with everything he is, but don’t you dare say it doesn’t go both ways. Violet loves Xaden unconditionally, “the good, the bad and the unforgivable”, and shows this again and again in Iron Flame.

Please excuse me while I go cry hysterically into my pillow.

There's nothing quite as funny to me as Xaden's descriptions of Dain from his POV. Not only did we get absolute singing Xaden in the new chapter, but we got more Xaden roasting Dain for everything he's worth what a gift it was

[v1olent-l1ttle-th1ng]

Violet’s still alive, so clearly her mantra works. So this one will work too right? RIGHT?!?

[sabu123098]

The fact that I want to be Violet Sorrengail but NOT for Xaden BUT also for Xaden?

Like, Xaden is a bonus I wanna be admired like my girl is- I want those sexy curves and the pale hair. Is that too much to ask for?

Riders when the fliers explain no one dies

[intairnwetrust]

"Take one step toward Violet, and I'll throw you off this fucking cliff myself," Dain warns, his voice low and menacing. "Unlike Riorson, I don't give a shit who your uncle is."

Ngl would have been even hotter if Xaden had said something like that considering it was HIS ex who was vindictive to Violet for literally just existing and he did nothing about it. But oh well I can also settle for Dain.

Also shout out to Sloane's "I'll do it just for fun" because same

[thatoldbooksmellsstuff]

I feel like a lot of fandoms need to learn that certain characters function outside of their ship. Not everything they do and not all their motivations and actions need to be related to their love interest

[ann7av]

This is about the new bonus chapter so spoilers

@sabu123098 girl I think you were right about Xaden possibly killing Mira at some point, there’s too many mentions of it happening and I DONT LIKE THIS AT ALL

What happened to “I could never want someone you love dead” Xaden???

(Maybe he’ll just unintentionally cause her death but still)

Also, how he thinks about Bodhi/Liam/Garrick in comparison to Violet still sits wrong with me, I don’t like the way RY decided to write him dealing with relationships in any way, shape or form apparently.

At least I feel a little better about the way Violet is constantly sexualizing him because he’s doing the same fucking thing, but the melting when she defends him and Liam was very cute.

And him knowing there’s someone working on the inside???? And Dain being out of breath?? We know he was being indoctrinated by Aetos and then Varrish so maybe his dad asked him to leave an unsuspicious box somewhere and Dain didn’t think anything of it?

And I don’t wanna sound mean but the construction of this chapter felt like a mess, English isn’t my first language but even I could tell the writing was too rushed/unedited.

And thanks @skyfallscotland because I found out about the chapter being released by your post on it

POC representaion in The Empyrean

So I was mapping out a fanfic idea and as a fantasy reader and writer, I love worldbuilding in fantasy so I was looking into tyrrish culture in the empyrean and there's basically almost nothing mentioned in the books??? (In my defense I know that this series is pretty bad in terms of fantasy, but still. The POC representation could've been so much better)

[No hate towards RY or anyone in this post is intended, I'm just pointing out my observations]

And it made me fall into a black hole of questioning. RY never mentions more about tyrs except they're POC (I'm pretty sure RY said that she wants his role for the adaptation to be open for as much diversity as possible. Which honestly just sounds wrong because for a series where culture is so important she gave us nothing). Okay, even if we accepted the diversity reason it doesn't mean that she couldn't elaborate in tyrrish culture that didn't need those aspects like magic and customs??? It's fantasy ffs.

I've seen so many different opinions online. So let me shoot the question: [Just to get this out: I am SO sorry if anything in this post came off as racist/offensive, I promise it was not intended in that way.]

Iron Flame Spoilers

Listen, if Peeta Mellark can be hijacked and there “not be a cure” but still fight it because of how strong his love for Katniss is….then Xaden Riorson can do the same thing for Violet after becoming a venin 🥸

[dragons-library]

STOP MAKING XADEN WHITER THAN VIOLET ???????????????

[highladyofterrasen7]

I didn’t want to cry this early in the morning

[contententhusiast]

[sabu123098]

SPOILERS FOR IRON FLAME PROCEED WITH CAUTION

Hello! How are you @ann7av ;) ?

Why did Rebecca tell us that riders turned venin can live without their dragons 😃

Why has she posted editing vibes with songs hinting at people losing control 😃

Why has she said that Xaden's condition will worsen by the end of Onyx Storm 😃

Why has she stated that there will be major character death in Onyx Storm 😃

You thinking what I'm thinking 😃

Sgaeyl is not safe at all 😃

Neither is Tairn 😃

Violet has two dragons 😃

[tamlindudley]

I'll never say Dain is better than Xaden but the fourth wing fandom acts like Dain is a monster like come on now. Rebecca really didn't make that character likeable on purpose and I wish she wrote him differently because he has so much wasted potential.
