The Fantasy Chronicles

Trying to survive reading fantasy books

Oh Madoc they could never make me form a solid opinion about you.

(I'm not even doing a re-read, i'm just plagued by the thoughts of tfota)

Violet drops a pencil and a little shadow under her desk hands it back to her? Okay Xaden ‘I don’t care about anything but scowling’ Riorson, you flirt

Violet Sorrengail Week | Day 4 | Pain 🩹|

"I can handle pain, I live in pain I practically built a house there and set up a whole economy. I can take what ever they dish out"

My favorite thing that people routinely forget about Sawyer is how fucking SNARKY he is. Bro was scoring zingers on Luca and Tynan for the first third of FW. He argues with Sliseag and BARES HIS TEETH right back at his dragon when they disagree. The mouth on that man. I love him so much 😭

[dragons-library]

I loveeeeee himmmm

This is them you can’t convince me otherwise

It’s been a long time since I pushed myself this hard and fuck am I paying for it.

‘I’ll leave within the hour with the prince.’ Tecarus offers, ‘It appears you may need the rest’

‘She’s fine’ Xaden interrupts, ‘I’m the one feeling a little clingy.’

I haven’t seen anyone talking about this scene from Onyx Storm but this is EVERYTHING to me.

Because this is also after Xaden recognizes that Vi is not doing well after their two day flight, and he’s -literally- supporting her with his shadows and making sure she can get to a room so she can rest.

But on top of that he knows that she’s conscious of being seen as weak because of her disability and so he goes out of his way to make it so that’s not the case.

Xaden Riorson THE MAN YOU ARE.

[yelyahrodrigo]

Six times Xaden Riorson is the funniest character in Fourth Wing

♡ because my boy contains multitudes ♡

1. when he was trolling Vi right from the beginning

2. when he was fucking done with Tynan's shit

"nO, bUt I cAn NaRrAtE" lives rent free in my head

3. when he manages to lighten the mood right before making out with Violet for the first time

4. when he cannot contain his giddiness that he can now bother Violet without having to utter a single word

5. when he decides honesty in the best policy with Mira

6. when he is offended by breakfast

✰ Xaden Riorson, born to be a little shit, forced to be a revolution leader ✰

scared someone will see right through me and know one of my deepest desires is to be taken care of

“Have I told you how hideous you look tonight?” Cardan asks, leaning back in the elaborately carved chair, the warmth of his words turning the question into something like a compliment.

“No,” I say, glad to be annoyed back into the present. “Tell me.”

“I cannot”

Cardan, you little flirt

Father, I am what you made me. I’ve become your daughter after all.

Every unhinged fic writer needs an equally unhinged friend who "yes ands" their ideas and encourages them to write all their most far fetched and insane stories.

[thescriberider]

Rhiannon: Hey Xaden, what's everyone's codes for "I'm about to murder everyone?" and the danger level of each on a scale of 1 to 10?

Xaden: Code Pink for Imogen, 12. Yellow for Bodhi, 3. Red for Garrick, 7. You are green, 5. Sawyer doesn't have one. Ridoc is blue, varying danger level. Sloane is white, 4. Dain is shit brown, 0. I'm black, obviously, 11. Violet is silver, and get the fuck away from her as fast as possible. Why?

Rhiannon: ... Code Silver.

Xaden: *Heard Throughout Riorson House* FUCKING RUN! CODE SILVER!

[dragons-library]

Ngl I would be more scared of Bodhi, like at least a 5
