What’s so funny is jacks literally forced evangeline to marry apollo but then gets jealous of him😭

RIGHT this has me laughing out loud like his plan backfired so bad, i can just imagine him going ”well yeah i needed her to be married to him for the prophecy but i don’t want her to BE MARRIED TO HIM 😒” in his head 😭

what’s also so funny to me is evangeline going ”a prince wants to marry me, yayyy! …wait. this is too good to be true. …jACKS-”

Heyy I had a question about acftl , how do you think Evangeline and jacks are going to meet again, I’ve been thinking about it and I can’t think of anything other than jacks sneaks into Evangelines wedding or smth

Hii!! Thank you for the ask!!

Uh, I guess this was buried in everything that happened after, but Evangeline is already married to Apollo!! This happened in OUABH!! Apollo was poisoned on their wedding night!!

As the entirety of the North remembers their wedding (it was pompous) I doubt Apollo would want another one, so no sneaking around to her wedding.

He could, however, sneak into a ball, (probably in honor of Apollo being 'mysteriously revived') and be faced with the consequences of leaving her alone.

It's my personal opinion, but I believe after he heals from whatever Chaos did to him, he's going to sneak into Wolf Hall to make sure his Little Fox is still alive and Time hasn't stolen her away again.

I'm just going through so many emotions while reading these books I need to post them or I will combust and I'm glad people find them funny

anyone know where I can find a warrior angel with blue eyes and golden hair and a face that makes me (and Eva) think writing poetry should be a new hobby?

Hi! I hope I’m not bothering you, but could you possibly post the first four pages of acftl here? Tysm 😊

Hi! Your not bothering me at all! First off, it’s actually the first four chapters not pages. And, I am sorry but the last time someone tried to it was given a copyright strike and taken down so the same thing would soon probably happen. I could post the link for the website though! (I believe it’s still up) You could also join the discord server (if your able to) that @jackstheprinceofhearts has, the chapters have been posted on there.

Leave another ask and let me know your the same anon and I can post the link, or leave a reply.

[shadowhandss60]

I’m giggling at your ‘dead inside’

I’m only 8 chapters in and I feel like I’ll be using the whole thing of tabs.

My brain isn’t prepared, but I have prepared some lovely clear sticky notes that I will no doubt be using 🫡

I shall carry on and be strong. Kinda wanna read the last page but I WONT

[pandalilysbox]

I haven't had time to properly read in agessss whatcha reading now?

honestly i’ve been on the same three books for months and months and months bc i can’t actually focus at all 😭😭😭

[jackstheprinceofhearts]

Have you considered...Jacks can manipulate dreams. When Legend couldn't meet Tella irl he did in dreams.

Evajacks...they can kiss in dreams.

i- anon, THE SCANDAL YOU ARE CAUSING??? HELLO??? YOU HAD NO RIGHT TO ENTER MY ASKS AND REMIND ME OF THIS FACT???!!???

[onceuponaneverafter]

It's hard to get through Ouabh series when Jacks is focused on another girl. And the whole series is kinda about that. Also In Caraval, Jacks seems more caring and affectionate towards Tella than Evangeline. He's rude to Evangeline and yeah he may protect her but doesn’t he protect her because he needs her as a key to go back to Tella. And With the ending of Tbona, using the stones to save Evangeline, wasn't he already going to rewrite history by going back to Tella? I see people say that he went back in time to save Evangeline knowing the consequences but wasn’t he already going to do that for Tella?

hi anon! thank you for sending your thoughts! you make good points, and i agree, it does get frustrating to read about how focused he is on tella.

i personally look at his actions through the lens of his story, his feelings, and his beliefs - it isn’t a flawless perspective to the story and i’m not saying he’s always in the right, he certainly does make flawed decisions and downright terrible ones too, but i’ve found it interesting to try to understand what’s going on in his head even if it makes him do stupid things and clouds his reason.

basically since he kissed tella and she didn’t die, he’s been convinced that she’s the only chance he will ever have at love - he doesn’t genuinely love her at any point, but for the entirety of the series (except for the very very end) he thinks he could only ever be a danger to any other girl and it would be better to stay away from anyone else for their safety, no matter what. thanks to his curse, tella becomes his obsession.

after tella makes it clear she wants nothing to do with him (which she has every right to do), he believes he will never have another chance at love and is ready to go to unreasonable lengths - going back in time - to get one. i think that once he grows to care about evangeline, he still isn’t particularly nice to her and wants to only care about her as a key because he thinks that if he actually let her close, he would just be a danger to her, and he thinks she’s better off not knowing him, and he thinks he’s better off trying again with the one girl who didn’t die.

you make a good point of jacks being willing to go back in time for tella no matter the consequences! i think the difference is that he’d be originally going back in time for the idea of love instead of tella herself, to get something he wants instead of for her happiness, but he’s grown to value evangeline over all of his previous plans and something he desperately wants. this is why people (including me) talk about it! him having grown to really care for evangeline and put her first is highlighted a lot in ACFTL (though he doesn’t always go about it in the best way there, still making some stupid decisions, but that’s another conversation for another day haha).

sorry the post ended up so long! this is just my thoughts on the topic and some thoughts on why the fandom talks about him as we do - his thought process doesn’t necessarily justify how he acts sometimes, but this way it makes more sense to me, making the story about him growing to genuinely care for someone else and realizing the difference between obsession and love.

thank you again for your thoughts, i hope you have a good day! 💗

I think the reason Jacks’s pov was cold and he is mean sometimes is because first of all he is a fate, not a human, but I also think he is terrified to feel what he does for Evangeline since her life is in the balance. It’s as he says at the end, if he lets himself stay with Eva, he will kill her. And her life is more important to him. I think that is why he comes across as cold and mean sometimes. And I think after he rewinds time, that is also why he is mean to her because he needed her to get away. Again, it’s about her being alive.

I’m not too happy about the love triangle Stephanie seems to be setting up, but I am hopeful this is a set up for Jacks to prove himself and just grovel and be pathetic for Eva. Eva will be predisposed to “loving” Apollo due to her letter from TBONA. So I think this book is the time and place for Jacks to man up and work for Eva and show his love

i understand that, i just don't like that he was so cold in his pov (and the bonus scene) that happened in the beginning of tbona because it seems that the sg acted like ouabh didn't exist. they had the least amount of attachment there, and idk, i just got the impression that she wanted to show that he was horrible all the time. i know he is, but it's also a romance book and he's going to be the protagonist's romantic partner.

regarding the possible triangle, i am not unhappy. i like the idea of seeing jacks suffer for evangeline, and it will be interesting if apollo gets the slightest bit of development. i just think that if it really is a triangle, sg has to be careful because it's the last book and she should focus on building everything she didn't build between evajacks in these last two books.

Hey bestie! I had a question, if you don't mind. Do you know the date for actfl release? Like, Google says its September 13, but goodreads says October 24? I also read something that the author Instagram or something says it's September.

I'm so confused like ii need it to be September 'cause I already waited six months but if its October I'm gonna start rioting.

Hii!! Nope, don't mind at all!!

Curse releases on October 24, 2023.

The initial release date was September but then it was pushed back because everything couldn't be prepared for a September release!

(I know, having to wait an extra month is torture. I'm with you, but it's better acftl wasn't rushed, in my opinion.)

Thank you for the ask!!

[beth-and-bands]

Waterstones take the money for my preorder challenge😭 4 days until release, and they haven't even attempted to take the payment.

Hi! Sorry it isn’t about ACFTL but I’m new at Tumblr and wanted to ask something. When you receive a message and read it is the message marked as read? Can the person who sent it know that you’ve read it? Sorry again I love your theories about OUABH series!

Hello! That's all right! 😊

No, you won't know if I have read your message. This applies to both submitted asks and private messages. But I do believe that if you ask something publicly, then you do get notified that it was answered.

Aww, thank you!!! 💗💗💗
