#aesthetic: stolen heir

@walstarterblog

Oak had been through many things. He was familiar with magic in all ways, but that didn't help him settle when he woke up in some strange city with no memory of what was going on. He knew how to work a room. he'd learned how to keep himself safe. The prince pulled himself upright with the elegance only a folk could have. A slight smile on his lips. Asking someone was the best choice. He straightened his doublet and stood straighter. "It is a splendid morning." Oak started. "Could you tell me where we are?"

CARDAN GREENBRIAR

"That is the problem. If she wanted to dance I would let her wreck the furniture. If she wanted to cook I would let her burn down the house. And if she wanted to scream I would let her deafen me. I’ve never loved anyone enough to let them destroy me but God, she could take me by the throat and my eyes would sparkle at the mere inches between us."

We're obsessed with only child, middle child, eldest child aesthetics so let's list them in terms of ✨The Ships ✨

1. Kaz Brekker and Inej Ghafa

Youngest child - only child

2. Anthony Lockwood and Lucy Carlyle

Youngest child - youngest child

3. Darlington - Galaxy Stern

Only child - only child

4. Annabeth Chase and Percy Jackson

Only child - only child-ish

(i mean it took him abt a decade before having a younger sibling so does that count? Not sure.)

5. Jude Duarte and Cardan Greenbriar

Middle child - youngest child

6. Suren "Wren" - Oak Greenbriar

Eldest child (ish?) / Only child - youngest child

Does it count when you've been separated for ages but you did kinda spend a few years with the unsister and you still care abt them a lot? Idk either

7. Henry Tilney - Catherine Morland

Middle child - middle child

8. Elizabeth Bennet and Fitzwilliam Darcy

Middle child - eldest child

9. Harriet Smith and Robert Martin

Only child - eldest child

10. George Knightley - Emma Woodhouse

Eldest child - youngest child

11. Anne Elliot - Capt Frederick Wentworth

Middle child - middle child

Okay that's it for the books ships.

Interesting when you look at their dynamics from the perspective of which child they are in the family, and it also makes sense how they act

Also interesting that Miss Austen said, justice to the middle childs let them have their own stories!! Love it xD

After listing down the Austen ships I can't wait to do one with my fave dramas and shows because my brain immediately went to Edith Crawley, my favourite middle child

But ah well for me, anyway, the science of which child you are is probably as reliable as the meyers-briggs test which I'm not sure is that reliable but still fun to discuss and think abt anyway!

Edit : as the youngest child, I do acknowledge and claim these sillies

oak had see Jude briefly, but not many of the others in his life. That wasn't new. he'd been a pawn thrown around on different boards before. He'd been cardan's clone lately in order to figure out who was coming for Jude and the rest of his family. But he normally had memory of how he got there. He normally felt in control. But now, he leaned back like an elegant cat taking a sip of coffee and struggling to not look for something stronger. "Did you need to sit here?" he asked with elegance once the shadow of a figure came into view. His fae senses had known beforehand though growing up in the mortal world he knew how to cover up who and what he was. just like court had been lately.

Jude Duarte : The Queen of Monsters

"And if the serpent grows in monstrousness and corruption, if it poisons the land of Elfhame itself, then let me be the queen of monsters. Let me be feared and never again afraid. Let me have everything I ever wanted, everything I ever dreamed, and eternal misery along with it. Let me live on with an ice shard through my heart."

- Queen of Nothing, Holly Black

"Among the monsters, I am well hidden; who looks for a leaf in a forest?"

- Night at a Circus, Angela Carter

"The world does not repays me for my heavenly sins, so I relish in my throne of lies, for what is lie if not the truth concealed."
