Jest and Catherine inspired by Marissa Meyer’s Heartless🖤

this book man this book 🙇🏻‍♀️

Never thought I’d ever be sympathising for the Queen of Hearts and yet here we are… painting an extra squishy happy scene hoping to fill up the void this book left.

I decided to reread one of my favorite books from like...sophomore year of high school (?) and now my brains broken

How little stuff there is about Marissa Meyer books saddens me, I have no one to geek to about them. Then there's the other part of me that wants to gatekeep them.

Jest is my standard for fictional men, idc what you say about brooding angsty guys

Jest has a sense of humour and its cute 🤭

He's so sweet and light hearted too ♡

Life in books is SO much better than real life.

if i had a nickel for every fandom im in with a main character being a traumatized jester i would have three nickels which isn’t a lot but it’s weird that it happened three times

I was thinking about Heartless yesterday, and about the “get Cath to Chess so she can lead the white queendom to victory” plot line that’s later in the book. Obviously this never happened and the sister’s prophecy of the monarch, the martyr, the murderer, and the mad came to pass. However I was wondering what would’ve happened if they had been successful in getting to Chess.

The audience knows that the land of Chess is locked in an eternal game of chess (or at least, they should, after consideration), but the citizens don’t. They don’t understand why after any sort of checkmate, the game resets, cause they don’t understand that they’re just pieces on a chess board. Jest himself even says that he and Raven are rooks—chess pieces.

Now, knowing that, why would bringing Cath into this change anything? Even if she were able to achieve the rank of queen, there’s no guarantee that the game wouldn’t reset upon a checkmate. Even her being from Hearts doesn’t save her from that fate; we know Hatta was originally from Hearts and he became a pawn (literally) in the White Queendom.

It seems like Cath was doomed no matter which kingdom she stayed in. Staying in Hearts leads to the sisters’ prophecy, and going to Chess means a never-ending fight until they die.

Found out my favourite author wrote fanfic when she was a teenager and I couldn't be happier rn
