“We are the thirteen; from now until the darkness claims us” —Heir Of Fire 🖤

Manon, Asterin, Sorrel, Vesta, Briar, Fallon, Edda, Faline, Kaya, Ghislaine, Thea, Linnea & Imogen

Since it's summer let's have some headcanons:

Sorrel, Lin, Faline, Fallon and Ghislaine can tolerate the sun because they actually have melanin and are chill about the heat like, they just don’t go out when it’s bright outside? Just common sense things, really.

They also have the sense not to go out in the middle of the day and risk a heatstroke for no reason.

Edda and Briar morph into night creatures and exist only at night. When the sun is about to set is when they peak and they go to sleep when the sun is well up in the horizon.

Manon, Asterin, Thea and Imogen lack said melanin and suffer in the heat.

Well Asterin not so much because she actually doesn’t burn in the sun and instead gets this beautiful golden sheen to her skin??? Kinda unfair, really.

Kaya and Vesta just burn. Not ten minutes out in the sun and they're about to die but they always somehow need to be out during the day doing god knows what and end up burning while also risking a heatstroke.

If we're going by the lack of melanin the ones who really suffer are: Vesta, Manon, and Kaya because they're so pale they’re almost see-through.

Manon is smart enough to avoid going out during peak sun time, but that's also because she's a huge introvert and hates people.

Vesta and Kaya aren't.

Asterin loves to tan so she's out on the beach getting a nice golden color while trying not to burn (if she times it right she’s successful but any longer and it’s straight to burns)

Sorrel thinks she's an idiot but she's there with lots of chilled drinks and many bottles of sunscreen

Ghislaine wards off the awful heat by spending her time indoors reading. She can go out and have fun when the sun sets

She can see firsthand what happens when people try to brave the heat

It is always the same victims because they never learn

She really is done lecturing them and would let them suffer the consequences of their (idiotic) actions

Sorrel agrees with her

But Sorrel also makes sure they get plenty of water and stay down while their symptoms pass

They all really hate it though. They're used to cold temperatures and summer is not for them

Anything above 17C is too warm for them

If it gets above 25C they start dropping

Dorian tries to get Manon to join him at the beach but she gets out of it every time he tries

She doesn't really explain anything but one day Sorrel is fed up and tells him that she’ll just burn in the sun.

Dorian had a moment of realization and decided that the beach isn’t a good date idea. Sorrel remind him that going out during the day isn’t a good idea in general because have you seen how pale she is? You think the sun will be kind to her? You will kill her if you take her outside.

So indoors it is. Honestly Dorian finds it a good excuse to get Manon to stay over often. And she doesn’t really resist his “it’s already morning you can’t leave now,” and they just spend whole days together doing all kinds of things.

They still go out though, but it’s usually after 5 pm because the sun isn’t as vicious at around that time.

Dorian tans so beautifully though it’s not fair.

Summer is a time of hibernation for Manon though. She stays indoors under the cold AC because this is the only thing she can do during the the heat she knows she isn’t built for the hot weather. Like she’s powerful and doesn’t backdown from anything but she knows if she has a face off with the sun outside she’ll be taken out instantly.

Hi do you ever think about the possible dynamics and personality and relationships the thirteen could have had with each other and then feel sad about losing them and then see a bunch of horrifically sad poems on TikTok and then wonder how Manon will ever love again?

Not exactly in the romantic sense but in the familial sense? The thirteen were her family, not Glennis or Bronwen or her parents or the matron. The thirteen were family, they knew her for more than a century and loved her and knew her and understood her and fought for her and with her. They were such a tangled up, intense part of her life and her love and she lost them.

How can she ever love again in the same way she loves them?

nobody told me I’d be a crying mess once I reached chapter 89 in kingdom of ash but here I am distraught

[rattlethestars-stj]

#5 of sentences from books that got me so choked up with emotion that I couldn't breathe

Be the bridge, be the light. When iron melts, when flowers spring from fields of blood—let the land be witness, and return home.

From Kingdom of ash

And far away, across the snow-covered mountains, on a barren plain before the ruins of a once-great city, a Flower began to bloom.

You all ever just think how the thirteen were the only ones manon truly loved during 117 years of her life and now they are all gone and the next best thing to them Dorian whom manon loves (yes i said she loves him u got a prblm with that suck it up) too is gonna die in 80 or some years and she is gonna be left alone

Me *sobs in a corner*

[audsthoughts]

.....this may be the perfect song for when Manon and Abraxos are walking out to the battlefield after *SPOILER SPOILER SPOILER!!! SPOILER FOR KINGDOM OF ASH!!!* the thirteens sacrifice and everyone brings rocks or flowers or.....I am not okay

[discorrdiia]

Friendly Reminder...

“We are The Thirteen from now until the darkness claims us”

Well

Darkness claimed them

Asterin Blackbeak be like “i know a spot” and then yields her life for you to live

Modern au:

The thirteen would totally get a ouija board and play with it. Well not all of them because some of them know not to mess with these things.

The instigators are both Asterin and Vesta. They’ve been out shopping and found an old shady store and decided to bring it for their girls night.

Sorrel: She refuses to partake because this is all kinds of wrong and she doesn’t want to get involved in that.

Faline and Fallon: they’re all over the board and they’re ready with a list of spirits to contact.

Lin: She’s indifferent for the most part but she’s kinda on board because why not? She fears no spirit or demon plus she’s usually hanging out with the twins so they’re similar in how occasionally unhinged they are.

Edda: She’s unsure but reason wins and she joins Sorrel in not participating because while she doesn’t really believe in these things she also doesn’t want to mess with it.

Briar: Similar to Edda, she doesn’t believe in demons and all BUT she joins the others because this can be fun.

Kaya: She’s so on board! Demons? Contacting spirits? She’ll be all over that even though she’s lowkey scared of these things but she doesn’t let that stop her.

Thea: She knows this is insane and honestly she doesn’t want to join but since Kaya is there and she can’t pry her away from the board she decides to stay just so she can keep an eye on her.

Imogen: She got peer pressured to join it was not her intention but she got roped into it.

Ghislaine: Told them all ‘hell no’ because she knows exactly what’s going to happen and she doesn’t want to be around that shitshow.

And finally Manon: She’s indifferent af so she stays because she’s not going to skip because of a couple of spirits. It’s not real anyway so what’s the big deal.

I have (hopefully) created a masterpiece

[ariadnethedragon]

When I am an old woman, living alone, each one of my cats will be named after a member of The Thirteen.
