Ghostwritten by Selwyn Kane

As an alternative to 'sugar, spice, and everything nice'

I present: 'salt, vinegar, and everything sinister'

🚨Oathbound Spoilers🚨

Tracy’s MIND. She told us about Morgaine magic and hinted at Nick taking on the shard (and possibly being enthralled as a result) back in Legendborn.

Theory: could mean Nick does end up absorbing Arthur’s spirit/being enthralled, in which case Sel’s words to Bree would come true: “You have enthralled Nicholas.”

Oathbound content becuase I have 5 chapters to go and am terrified

Okay…

But…

Why can’t they all be together…?

Can't wait to see Selwyn Kane finally snap at the regents. I mean full on. He's yelling so loudly (to him) that his ears are ringing and bleeding, he's all sharp tongue and cold edges and death threats and none of the quiet obedient solider boy the Order raised. And that's how the Order knows their cooked. Because if Selwyn, the most loyal little dog they ever trained, is against them, its only a matter of time before everyone else is too, especially with a public outburst.

NICK AND SEL BEING COMPARED TO DORIAN AND ROWAN, THIS IS THE WORST DAY EVER

I won't defend Sel's Kill Bree plan from LB, but I will admit that it's a little valid that he was suspicious of Bree. Because from his point of view, he erased her memories twice and she still showed up for the racism Olympics, at which point his childhood crush/current weird but not necessarily platonic situationship loses his mind and everything goes to shit. You gotta admit, it's a little funny.

this gets me everytime i read it 😭😭

Why is the Legendborn trio a bottle of sunshine who is secretly dark as hell. The dark as hell is secretly a bottle of sunshine. Then there's a mix of them both.

(Sel would disagree and call himself a "monster" and Bree and Nick would just call him emo😭🖤🥀)

[myrddine]

genuinely never recovered from the font change when sel came back to life with the crown WHY IS HE SPEAJKING IN COMIC SANS PLEASE

[myfandomtopia]

Nick saying that SelBree together doesn’t make him jealous, only makes him happy at the thought of the two people he cares for most in the world finding happiness together—and the only part of it that would make him sad is the idea of him being left out and not also being with them—is why I said in that other post that he’s the one of the trio who would most want selbreenick to happen

[coballowaycore]

As a bi june gemini, I understand Selwyn Kane so well cause I too am in love with Bree Mathews and Nick Davis at the same time

[brianakane]

Parallels are paralleling y'all

[s-kane]

Ever since i touched the crown, the shadows that came in are slowly leaking out through various holes. When will this stop?

Love how brainwashed and gaslit Selwyn is canonically. "oh he's a bad boy rebel" No. That just isn't true. His (former) King left at age 12 and he didn't blink an eye at his own loyalty. Selwyn relied on the Order for stability and information and just the structure of his life in general. Even after Selwyn sees the truth, he cant bring himself to call the Order complete liers and frauds. He probably had a parental relationship with many of the adults who trained him,even if they just saw him as a shield and sword for the king. He was forced to believe he was inherently a monster, and would grow up to be a demon that betrayed everyone. He was taught to praise the Order. His fear of getting punished is so catholic guilt core. Even if obedience was beat into him, he still probably gave it to them on a silver platter because he was a child. He probably originally bonded emotionally to the Order because it allowed him to see what his mother was doing before she "died." Order used his grief and sadness and turned it into a weapon, not caring that he could never heal himself because all he can do is stab. He was forced to be a killer before he hit double digits. He was being trained before he even hit 5 by his mother. His entire life was training and working for this organization, this cult, him basing all his beliefs and morals on it, only to betray him and those he loves time and time again. His deadbeat dad isn't even his fucking deadbeat dad. The same organization that took him in and fucking raised him is the same thing he now has to stand against. The very aether he loves so much causes him to get aether drunk, a thing he specifically avoids, probably because his dad was a fucking alcoholic. In these books, he's constantly crashing out, because fuck I would too. He was taught to lick disdain from a blade and call it love.
