4 & 5 😋
Thank you for the ask!
4. What are your most overrated headcanons?
5. What is your most underrated set of headcanons?
I don’t know how to classify these as overrated or underrated so I’m glad you asked me both. 🙃 I’ll just list them out randomly and let you decide their classification.
Languages
I adamantly believe that the only reason Violet would have learned to speak Tyrrish (and not just read it) is because Asher was Tyrrish. I will be very disappointed if we don’t get a good explanation by the end of the series for why she knows how to speak it.
I don’t have a specific headcanon here, but I’ve really enjoyed contemplating why everyone knows sign language. @copperfirebird started a great discussion about that here.
Xaden
I’m sure Loysam will play a role in saving Xaden, since they skipped visiting it in OS.
Also, I think Xaden may have been partially dedicated to Loial, causing the gold flecks in his eyes. (Maybe those fully dedicated have gold eyes?) There was an epigraph about Dunne and Loial being the only gods who required dedication for life. Plus I think they balance each other out: love and war and Xaden and Violet.
Violet
There will be dream sex in Book 4. But to achieve it, Violet will have to really hone her second signet.
Also, I’m not sure we’ll actually see this in the books, but Violet is going to burn out. No one can carry that much weight for that long (not only her own struggles, but promising Xaden she’ll hold his, and now taking on the whole province of Tyrrendor). She deserves to completely breakdown and do absolutely nothing for at least a year. (Like she did when Andarna left, but giving herself actual time to recover, not just 3 days.)
Venin
I think Naolin is alive and venin. Maybe Xaden’s grandfather too??
I think Bodhi is the new brother. (Although I did see a compelling argument on Reddit for it to be Sawyer…)
There's definitely something going on with the Tyrrish knowledge there. Like. Lilith was full on about to explain the details of the scarification ritual to Violet in the middle of e v e r y t h i n g, you don't have that top of mind six years later unless it's something you have reason to know very well.
Man when we finally get the Tyrrish Lore Drop I really really hope it lives up to the build up, you know?
