#like wdym vi can’t read 🤨

the amount of vi headcanons that are actually just classist stereotypes is insane

Wdym he shrugged 🤨 you don’t get to act like you’re in the right!! (I have no idea what the context is but I’m taking everything personally on behalf of Violet)

Just for that I hope he cries and begs on his knees for 30 days and 30 nights. I need to see tears come out of his eyes, I need to see the most pathetic love declaration. His life needs to be in shambles without his wife!

My baby Violet 🥺 I’m so happy she has the people she has in her life who will literally go down swinging for her and remind her she’s not alone.

One thing I’m wondering is if Aretia was tricked by Navarre. Obviously Navarre wants to hide the venin from Violet but what if they/Tauri had an ulterior motive? What if they’re hoping because of her lack of preparation, Violet dies because of a venin which results in Xaden’s death and the destabilization of Tyrrendor, without having to get their hands dirty. They could consolidate the hatching grounds back in the Vale. The political implications literally just occurred to me and if that’s the case, Aretia were gonna get end up in a war against the venin and Navarre either way and they chose the option that put them at a severe disadvantage.

I feel like this should’ve been the canon Empyrean storyline if I’m being honest. I’m seeing these characters in a whole new way and I personally think this is so much more compelling. I think this fic in particular could take the place of Iron Flame and book 1 could’ve focused on the breakdown of Violet and Dane’s and her taking care of herself during her first year without the help of Xaden. If you couldn’t tell, I love this story! Can’t wait to read the next chapter (whenever that may be, take your time 💕)

lol I love how everyone is ready to go down swinging for Vi 😂 his shrug makes a little more sense in context I think when you read what exactly she says that he’s shrugging at.

I keep saying “oh no fuck the politics of this story, I don’t care about the politics” anon I care so much about the politics of this story I want to throw up. This is awful. I want to not care but I can’t leave plot holes. Why did I do this to myself? Why did you all let me do this to myself? Can you all look away for the rest of this fic so I can stop caring?

Anyway point being yeah there’s a lot going on here and the political ramifications of some choices that are made very soon are going to bite everyone in the ass and god bless Lilith Sorrengail is all I’m gonna say

I don’t have the patience to go back and rewrite Violet’s first year at Basgiath in this universe but just know if I did it would be really cool. But I’m lazy so I won’t

Thank you!! 🩷🩷
