MAGA and the Imperium of Man: A Troubling Comparison

Why the Joke Isn’t Funny Anymore

[silver-flames-of-dusk]

As someone who's been married for almost a decade, I'll never understand the hatred that Violet receives in IF. I've seen her called immature, a toddler, someone who doesn't know what love is. Violet (and Xaden) spent all of IF putting in the necessary work to make their relationship successful. An "I love you" a day will not keep a relationship afloat. There has to be trust, and Violet's trust in Xaden was broken after FW. I understand why Xaden withheld the information of the revolution from her. She understands why. But it doesn't change the fact that her trust in him was broken, and Violet needs trust. She needs information to make a relationship work. Everyone has vital things that they require in a relationship, which is specific to the two people within that relationship. Violet needs the full truth, and she was very up-front with Xaden on that. She didn't force him into a relationship and then forced him to accommodate her standards. She was willing to let him go if he wasn't able to give her what she needed. Xaden chose to accommodate her needs because he found her more precious than his need to keep secrets. That was his choice. A woman should never be villianized for setting standards for her person.

And to say that Violet only loves conditionally or that she doesn't know what love is? If that were the case, then Violet would have broken up with Xaden as soon as he turned venin. She stayed with him and spent all of OS searching for a cure because she loved him unconditionally. Riorgail only survived OS because of the effort they put into their relationship in IF. And it was Violet who pushed them to put in that effort early on.

Saying that Violet should just accept Xaden's "I love you" without any questions is not the way to form a relationship that will last decades. Violet's in it for the long-term, not the short-term.

I'll never understand how a fandom full of women can criticize a woman for setting standards while simultaneously holding the man to no standards whatsoever.

Every night Violet and Xaden put their kids to bed together. Violet tells one of the many stories she learned while studying to become a scribe and sometimes even tales of their own adventures. Xaden makes incredibly realistic shadow puppets to act out the story.

Sometimes he adds in little details that even Violet doesn’t know.

“That was the day I knew I loved your mother.”

“Uncle Garrick had to hold me back so I didn’t interfere with her challenge.”

“Sgaeyl was doing fine with the separation from Tairn. I’m the one that couldn’t handle being away from your mom.”

[empyrean-thrones]

Xaden helping Violet take a shower during her depressive episode was imo the most romantic/intimate thing they’ve done.

[passerbyyye]

love how xaden told violet once that "the right way isn't the only way" and she never did anything the right way again

[clxartss]

not hunger games but I'm also a fourth wing fan and here's my babies Rhiannon, Sawyer and Ridoc (from left to right) 🫶

Fourth Wing fans are AWFUL for the use of AI when it comes to art of the characters and scenes, so I wanted to get some NON-AI fanart out there too

[xadenxaddy]

Dain: You know, for someone who talks so much, you’re not as smart as you think.

Sloane: And you’re not as charming as you think, but here we are.

Ridoc: I’ve seen Violet and Xaden do this, so let me give you some advice: cut the crap and hook up already.

Sloane and Dain turn, glaring at him.

Ridoc: Yeah... I’ll just... go now.

[overtimeache]

i love ridoc for all the same reasons as everyone else. i love his humor, his quick wittedness, how effortlessly he flirts, how powerful he is, how smart he is.

mostly though, i love how he loves violet. he’s on quest squad with protecting and being there for his friend at the forefront of his mind because he doesn’t trust the others intentions when it comes to protecting her over xaden.

he was right to be pissed about xaden’s venin status because she had been in double danger (in his mind) all this time without someone on only her side.

i think ridoc likes xaden and considers him a friend, but he would dagger him in a heartbeat if it meant protecting violet.

ridoc is the brother violet deserves.

[rozanovmactavish]

someone on tiktok said during threshing ridoc was wandering around screaming marco and aotrom finally replied polo and thats how they bonded and im CACKLING

[iwillwalkthroughthefire]

Violet: Okay, I have to tell you the truth. The monsters from the fairytales are real. They're coming to kill us all, and our government is corrupt and trying to hide it from us.

Rhiannon, Ridoc, and Sawyer: Holy shit! Oh, this is such a relief! We thought that you were, like, mad at us or something. YES!!! Let's go do some TREASON!

[court-of-secrets]

xaden: -lecturing vi- and if rihannon jumped off of a cliff would you jump too??

violet: absolutely not.

violet: i’m offended right now.

violet: i would have jumped off holding her hand like a true best friend

vi and rhi: *high five*

[theprismapixels]

Does anyone else think it’s genuinely adorable how Tairn & Sgaeyl both seem to have bonded riders that remind them of each other?

Tairn & Xaden are both ruthless, snarky, and dramatic.

Sgaeyl & Violet are both intelligent, quick-witted, and sharp-tongued.

It's like they both went "Ah yes, that's familiar, I love it"

Idk, just something I noticed and thought it was so cute & sweet

[greenmaskedmarauder]

How I imagine Sgaeyl was during Vi's threshing.

Sgaeyl: my love I think you need to come check out this cadet. She's ballsy and perfect for you.

Tairn: I wasn't planning on bonding again.

Sgaeyl: no seriously I think you need this rider. Plus my human gets all weird around her and I want to mess with him.

Tairn: Sgaeyl I'm not going to bond a rider just to mess with your moody teenager.

Sgaeyl: OK but Andarna is in danger and this tiny girl is fending her off alone while injured.

Tairn: ....I'm on my way.

[basicwhiteglitch]

Xaden yelling "WELL THE FUCK AWARE" at Violet is honestly so funny to me. Like that is PEAK exasperated husband energy.

[mysterylilycheeta]

Violet: Don't worry, I've got a few knives up my sleeve. Dain: I think you mean cards. Xaden: She does not. Violet, pulling out knives: I do not.

[project-azrael]

Typical Sorrengail Family Dinner:

Mira: *Pointing at Xaden* WHY HIM?!

Violet: YOU TOLD ME TO GET WILD SHUT UP!

Mira: *Throws hands up* NOT HIM!

Violet: *Singsong* Tairn and Sgaeyl said otherwise!

Mira: Teine!

Teine: Nuh uh! You fight them! You have the shield Signet!

Sloane: ... Is this a bad time to mention I pulled a Violet...?

Brennan: YES! Wait with who?

Sloane: Dain.

Mira and Brennan: FUCK YES IT'S A BAD TIME!

Violet: HAHAHA! THAT'S MY LITTLE SIS! I'M SO PROUD OF YOU!

Xaden: What family did I join...?

Dain: For once, we agree, and I knew them longer...

Both: *Wither under Brennan and Mira's glares*

Drake: *Quietly eating in a dark corner to hide*

Brennan: *Turns to Mira* Don't think I forgot about you and the guy in the dark corner being smart and trying to hide for once! You two getting it on too?!

Mira and Drake: *Squeak and turn red*

Sloane and Violet: YOU HYPOCRITICAL BI-!

Brennan: SERIOUSLY?! ALL OF YOU?!

Violet: Hey Tairn told me about Naolin and you!

Tairn: You fucking Sorrengails and your horniness!

Violet and Xaden: DON'T EVEN GET US STARTED ON YOU AND SGAEYL!

Sgaeyl: At this point most of what we do is because of you two!

Andarna: HOW IN THE EVERLOVING FUCK AM I THE ONLY SENSIBLE ONE RIGHT NOW?! AREN'T I GOING THROUGH PUBERTY?!

[justmymindandstuff]

*On a hike*

Violet: It's beautiful out here Rhiannon: And quiet Sawyer: Too quiet Violet: Did we lose someone?

*Cut to Ridoc fighting against a racoon*
