The reason that Rhian and Rafal are twins is because they both are filled with the same rot. They cant love because of it. It’s why they go hand in hand with one another. There’s no Rhian without Rafal and no Rafal without Rhian. You cannot put anyone else in each one of their places because no one else matches with the other one correctly. They both are puzzle pieces that can only be matched with each other. No matter how hard you try, you cannot match a puzzle piece with one that doesnt fit the other. Thats the lesson Rhian learned with Sophie.

The feeling when something you really loved is over and the fandom slowly dies<<<<<

Hot take

AU where August's plan was to capitalize off Rhian's preferences (and fruitiness) and allure him instead of the two step murder plan in canon

Also one more hot take because Vulcan deserves to be scared for once in his life and the possible dynamic between a puppet-turned-puppeteer Rhian and his previous manipulator would be interesting to explore (assuming Rhian is not angry enough to get rid of Vulcan...tho that is unlikely)....and and drawing of Rhian and Rafal for a belated Halloween because only now am I somewhat free from the chains of....academics

[sneakysnowmannightshade07]

honestly Fall Rafal looks like that type of guy to have a really cool fiancee and then dump her for... immortality and power I guess! And then she gets really pissed. She would rightly call him out on his selfish behavior and how he loves himself more than her, but he'd use that bullshit "Good and protecting my people" excuse.

Conventionally attractive pirate or pirate-looking hot guy whose personality consists of 235237529357 red flags: hi-

Wake up fellow cult followers of the SGE cult it's time for conspiracy/symbolism irony because we need to bully the SGE villains to heal the mental breakdowns and meltdowns they gave us while we read the SGE series

What do you mean it's Aric? A-R-I-C spelled as Eric???

Nah dog it's Arici spelled as Arici

Tf you mean that this. With this

Were the sole reason the last 3 books of the SGE series were a mess?

Japeth what were you even thinking brother, you aren't even the same regnum. You're a serpentine he's a mammal get over it.

Also I forgot that the master mind behind all of this was this:

And the one that could have prevented all of this from happening died and brother was literally a freaking

Oh and all of it was helped and continued via three of these

And we also got a puppet because of course we need puppets.

And it's this

And this

I can't even- HOW DOES THIS WORK?!?!?

Rhian: *laughs because fairy safer bestie told him that he will have to marry a wicked girl*

Agatha, Sophie and Tedros too would have laughed if you told them that two puppets, three sticks, two birds, a hedgehog and a snake would be the whole reason they have severe headaches in the future. WITHOUT MENTIONING THE ACOLYTES LIKE-

Kei? Sounds like Chei, which is:

I can't stress this enough what is this-

So

This is hilarious given that Kei trapped Tedros in a cell via some keys so like-

Oh my, good lord

Someone pour me up a double shot of whiskey

Fall of SGE spoilers below the cut

RHIAN, YOU BASTARD. Oh my gods, Rafal, sweetie, I'm so sorry this fucker tarnished your name.

WHAT A BITCH

FUCK

Glad Rafal realised they could be both Good and Evil. This whole black and white thing was pissing be off, like, what do you mean you can't be both, idiots???? Anyway. I WAS SHOOK BY THAT BETRAYAL. I knew it would happen but I didn't expect Rhian to kill Rafal and take his name. I thought Rafal would just kill Rhian.

Also??? The potential for Lady Lesso's backstory to be explored a bit more (probably never going to happen)!!!!!!!!! Honestly, as soon as Botic was described as having purple eyes, I clocked him as a Lesso lmfaooooo.

[therealrhian]

Shit I thought this post was sge related

[the-royal-rot]

Rhian's sassiest lines?

Gosh,I've been so inactive lately. Srry guys, I'm a victim of midterm season.

This ask came in a while ago, I'm so sorry anon!

"With that attitude, maybe it should be."

"And don't even start. You've proved nothing."

"Don't be a twit, Rafal."

"Why are we moving to a new castle?"-Marialena

"Because I ordered it."

"They're both my schools now."

"Now he wondered if he was ill-equipped to manage the Nevers, because his first instinct was to throw the girl out the window."

"Are you blaming me for his absence?"

"Your mother should have named you Vulture."

"Pity you never surrendered then"

"No you teach yours to be barbaric and brainless like you."

"Rafal would kill me on the spot"

"Rhian groaned loudly. "What's next? Evil in love?"

"Everyone knows I'm the better twin."

"Whatever they're paying you, we'll double it," Rafal vowed.

"Triple it," said Rhian.

Rafal looked at him. "Don't be cheap,'' Rhian murmured.

While I was going back and finding these quotes, I had originally thought Rhian was way more sassy than Rafal was. Now looking back, Rafal 100% wins in this category.

Me @ my fandoms: i’m going to make some form of work for you all!

ADHD: nuh uh mf.

Runaway noblewoman joins a ship and becomes badass.

If the Mistral Brothers got lost in a crowd.

Aladdin: Um, we lost Rhian and Rafal in the crowd.

Kyma: Not again...

Midas: Don't worry lol I got this

Hook: Oh no-

Midas: *inhales*

Midas: *shouts at the top of his voice* HOTPIRATEBOYSINYOURAREA!!!

Rhian: *comes running out of the crowd* WHERE-

Rafal: *comes running out too* DON'T YOU DARE-

Midas: Told ya.

[iamverynormalaboutsge]

I'm sorry. WHO WAS GONNA TELL ME THAT THERE WAS LITERALLY A FIGURE IN GREEK MYTHOLOGY CALLED MIDAS WHO WAS CURSED TO TURN EVERYTHING HE TOUCHES INTO GOLD?! NAAAAAAAH!

I- 😭😭😭

Imagine being a SGE fan and knowing BEFOREHAND this information and then reading about Midas like 'Ah yes. He is doomed for he is the name sake of a tragedy figure from greek mythology' help-

[iamverynormalaboutsge]

They could have been balance.

Rafal and Rhian

They could have been perfect.

Rhian(Jr) and Japeth(/Rafal Jr)

They were neither, and that made things right.

Agatha and Sophie

Storian thoughts on his Chosen ones. Should I make more things like this at times?

(man it'd be great if I had any of those fancy editing skills to add pics for each of those but I am not even aesthetic enough to have Pinterest. Where would I get pictures from-)

[liketwoswansinbalance]

If Rhian were a villain as his own character, in character, I feel like he'd be the kind of villain to explain his whole Evil plan, giving it away completely instead of keeping it to himself because he's incapable of keeping it to himself. He would be hyped up with excitement for his vision coming to fruition, and most importantly, he would want to do it for the showmanship as he's theatrical like that. Then again, he may be too smart to reveal it all.

If you recall his thematically-appropriate outfit during the Circus of Talents, he seems to love causing a scene, and while Rafal does share this tendency towards the dramatic, I don't believe it's to the same effect or as extreme as Rhian's.

And this brings me to the point that it's just flat-out unusual for Rhian to wear essentially the same outfit for 200 years.

I mean, that seems unlike him and extreme. For evidence, it's implied by TLEA, by the image of his midnight blue robes hanging on a hook in the tower like a relic at the beginning of the book, that he's worn that selfsame outfit all that time. Sure, he must've not had an occasion to dress up for, but when did that ever stop him? Did imitating Rafal mean he had almost given up on his fashion sense? It's not like anyone had seen him. He didn't have anyone to perform in front of after all. Maybe that's the reason: no one would see him, so it wouldn't matter? He'd probably become depressed, and perhaps, the loneliness drove him insane and away from old behaviors.

Yet, how could Rhian, the man who was a fashion icon in his better days, be reduced to wearing the same midnight blue robes for 200 years, as the first trilogy implies? Even villainous Fall Rhian with his pure spun gold cloak did better than this version of him.

Wearing the same clothes like a uniform is Rafal behavior, and while taking that trait completes his disguise, which I'm sure Rhian had down by SGE's present, if no one had the faintest memory of what the real Rafal was like, what was keeping Rhian from caring about his appearance like he once did? He only seemed to fall back into fashion and indulge in it in order to appeal to Sophie and that's it. Did he never regain the right state of mind for fashion to be of any importance by himself? Did Sophie revive that lost part of him?

In conclusion, that is the most implausible thing about the Fall twist: Rhian's lack of fashion sense. /j
