Jaron Artolius Eckbert III 👑

I have succumb to the pull of AI

Why did this take so long to make

Jaron: I run on 90% impulse and 10% sarcasm.

Tobias: Pretty sure you're 100% bad ideas.

Rodan: Add some trauma and you’ve got a smoothie.

Mott *tired*: Do NOT blend him. Ever.

NOW I'M TRULY LIVID.

Just got to the part where Roden outright states that when all is done at Belland that Darius would be his King and not Jaron.

Does loyalty not matter to anyone suddenly? It's just such a switch up of character. In TST, Roden literally says he would be the Captain as long as he can continue to serve the greatest King. Clearly he holds Jaron in the highest esteem. That can't just be erased and replaced by a another King overnight, as though Jaron was just a place holder. King is not just some title to be passed around. Jaron proved himself to be the best and only King that could pull Carthya out from the ground and Roden was just ready to switch up loyalties like that?!

How did Jaron go from Greatest King to just foolish nuisance?

I'm trying to justify it to myself that this is Roden pushing back to be Jaron's supposed "enemy", but this was said between them in private conversation.

Currently rereading the series and have started on TCK. Here's something that has bothered me from the very first time I read it but moreso now.

TFP: Tobias and Roden attempt to gang up on Sage. Nobody trusts one another. By the end, Roden hates Jaron and thinks he's a fraud and Tobias is near-reverant.

TRK: Tobias is incredibly loyal to Jaron. Roden is brought back around to Jaron's side and pledges loyalty to him. End of the book the entire kingdom is pretty much worshipping Jaron.

TST: Every second chapter has some sort of confirmation that Jaron has gained the highest degree of loyalty from everyone he knows. Everyone in Carthya would apparently go to the devils lair for him and Roden and Tobias say that they will be first among those who do. Roden says "these are my men but your army" and is a respected Captain.

TCP: Roden apparently reverted back to his insecurities at the start at TST and attempts to resign as Captain. Roden and Tobias both, at numerous points, say how 'they don't know why they put up with Jaron'. In general, respect for Jaron seems to have depleted.

Here's why that bothers me:

Consistency - he just won an impossible war and everyone was pretty much set on following him to hell and back. It makes no sense for Roden or Tobias or anyone else to suddenly start questioning Jaron's person/intentions. At that point, given the previous books, they should trust him implicitly and honestly be the closest of friends.

The feels - Jaron did not deserve to be fed the image of abandonment by those who he sees as his found family. Especially after all the shit he has done for them and Carthya and been put through.

Maybe I'm just too emotionally attached for this angst.

There's more...

So I'm continuing to read and just came across more to substantiate how this is both a plot inconsistency, makes no sense and justifiably irritates me.

- Tobias was actively berating and bad-mouthing Jaron when they escaped the ship for not successfully getting Amarinda off with them. Like full on being a massive a-hole about it and telling Jaron that everything bad that ever happens is his fault.

In TST, Tobias didn't blame Jaron for the failed escape carriage scheme that almost got Amarinda captured. He was a bit antsy but he always believed that Jaron would be able to find a way out as he has proven time and time again he can. This time round, it's like Jaron's "brilliance" was completely ignored and distrusted. And with no reason.

And I don't think it's fair that all of them can actively add to Jarons' deep rooted insecurity that he is to blame for everything. He attracts these situations because of who he is and maybe handles them in questionable manners, but ultimately he can't be blamed for being literally captured at random? They chose to be friends with him, they knew the dangers.

Anyway, that's just my follow up rant

Anyone still alive here for Ascendance month?

Random plot point that really bothered me - (and I feel like I've said this before, but because I'm rereading, it has annoyed me again) - but I'm really confused and annoyed that the regents just all resigned in TSC... like that was very random and felt like purely a plot device. I thought Jen wanted us to believe that their love and respect for Jaron was solidified after TRK and certainly after he won a war for them. Feels strange that they would just abandon him at the first, opportune moment, it's like their attitudes were reverted to day 1 of him being King, and not after he became beloved.

do you guys ever imagine the kinds of edits a fandom would make if they ever got a movie or series adaption bc I could think of the most fire, the most scrumptious, the most beautiful edit ever that the fandom could create yet there’s no actual screen adaption to edit with (TOTALLY not thinking about the false prince if it ever gets a screen adaption or other underrated books/video games)

I'm just getting worried that it wouldn't live up to our imagination 😕

Another meme that I'm hoping no one has already done again:

Mott: If you took a shot for every time you made a bad decision, how drunk would you be? Imogen: A little tipsy Tobias: Drunk Roden: Wasted Jaron: Dead
