SIGMA

I love fourth wing

[violentdelightshavevioletends]

Do we REALLY think Xaden thought telling Violet SORRENGAIL what NOT to do would work???

He might as well have said “Come looking for me” with that note.

… Maybe add in an “I bet you can’t find me and the cure, I triple-dog-dare you”.

[violentdelightshavevioletends]

Aotrom: Hey, let's do "Get Help!"

Ridoc: What?

Aotrom: "Get Help."

Ridoc: No.

Aotrom: C'mon, you love it!

Ridoc: I hate it.

Aotrom: It's great! It works every time!

Ridoc: It's humiliating.

Aotrom: Do you have a better plan?

Ridoc: No.

Aotrom: We're doing it!

Ridoc: We are not doing "Get Help!"

*5 Minutes Later*

Aotrom, carrying a limp Ridoc in his maw & roaring: Get help! He’s dying! Save him, NOW! *spins them & throws Ridoc at the guards to knock them all out*

Aotrom: Ahh, classic!

Ridoc: *gets up & wipes off dragon drool* I still hate it. It's humiliating.

Aotrom, laughing: Not for me, it's not.

Ridoc: I can’t tell if Xaden is plotting world domination or just thinking about lunch.

Sawyer: At this point, I’m convinced his face is just permanently set to ‘I’ll ruin your day’. Could be lunch, could be world domination.. same expression.

Xaden (irritated): I’m standing right here.

Rebecca Yarros: *scrolling through tumblr* oh fuck- write that down write that down.

Andarna going into battle despite both Violet and Tairn telling her to hide

[iamtherealglobglogabgalab1]

You cant blame her, its her only chance to eat people without tairn going "We do not eat our allies"

Violet Sorrengail’s Must-Haves for Men:

1. Tall

2. Ego even taller

3. Bad communication skills

4. Linked somehow to aristocracy

5. Emotionally unavailable

6. Name ends in ‘den’

7. Has a temper that gets people killed

8. Dain does not approve

9. Mira also does not approve

10. Can’t forget that her deceased father also expressed his disapproval from his literal grave

On a side note, Aaric also does not approve.

[juliaboudewijn]

Does Aaric ever use his signet to check what the weather will be like that day?

Like:

"Right, I'll have to wear to jacket. Ridoc is going to make it snow inside again."

Or:

"Oh for fucks sake, Riorson is returning today. Better stay indoors, I guess."

Xaden: Want to help me commit a felony? Violet: What the hell? Xaden: Sorry. Xaden, telepathically: Wanna help me commit a felony? Violet, also telepathically: Hell yes, I'm already planning.

[mysterylilycheeta]

Violet: I may have done something you told me to never do again. Xaden & Tairn: That’s– Xaden & Tairn: That is a very long list.

[iamtherealglobglogabgalab1]

Tairn is such a girl dad and im here for it

[mysterylilycheeta]

*Everyone is playing Monopoly together* Violet: I want to buy this property, but I don't have enough money. Will the bank accept 10 kisses instead? Xaden: *As the bank* The bank will accept the offer Bodhi: This is not how the game wo- Garrick: And they're kissing Ridoc: EVERY TIME.

[iamtherealglobglogabgalab1]

OKAY LETS TALK ABOUT HOW DAIN IS SO FINE IN ONYX STORM

Like i genuinely hated him throughout the first two books (we all did but still) but i absolutely folded when he said:

“Eyes here”

“I’m going to hurt you”

“Gods don’t I know it”

GODS DONT I KNOW IT?!??!?!?!??!

I wish i was Sloane rn 😔 (Although i honestly want to be violet more so i can have Xaden 😋)

[mysterylilycheeta]

Violet: I wasn’t that drunk. Xaden: You colored my face with a highlighter because you said I was important. Violet: BECAUSE YOU ARE!

[iamtherealglobglogabgalab1]

Youre important to me too, Xaden

[wgfvhdgv]

my personal headcanon is Dain eventually becomes very much a rule breaker when it comes to Sloane, the kind of boyfriend that supports her rights and wrongs

Sloane: *about to kick someone's ass*

Dain: let me hold your stuff

Dain: try not to kill him, there's nowhere to hide the body

[iamtherealglobglogabgalab1]

And then he lectures her afterwards (before he invetably hides the body for her)

[forgottenswan]

"It's not her fault!" Garrick shouts as he races through the doorway, all but skidding to a stop at the foot of the table.

"Oh?" Xaden asks.

[crisalidaseason]

Love the perspective that Mira and Xaden get friendly over two things: loving violet absurdly and having to deal with Brennan's ass.

[mysterylilycheeta]

Xaden: I don’t just love you. I adore you. I crave you. I— Violet: Xaden, we are in the middle of a bakery. Xaden: And? Violet: Put the chocolate cake down and stop monologuing.

[iamtherealglobglogabgalab1]

No but this is definetly Imogen and Garrick.

[gwynrieldreams]

You cannot convince me Rebecca Yarros wasn't inspired by Vampire Academy. Xaden has so much in common with Dimitri Belikov.

Major spoilers for Fourth Wing/Iron Flame and the Vampire Academy series!

They are both mentors to the fmc in a military academy.

They are both considered the best rider/guardian.

The fmc refuses to cut her hair, even though it's usual in her job. Xaden loves Violet's hair and so does Dimitri with Rose's hair.

Royalty from their father's side.

Xaden and Violet have to work together, because their dragons are mates and can't be separated for long enough. Rose and Dimitri are guardians to Lissa and Christian, who are a couple.

Like Dimitri who became a Strigoi, Xaden became venin!

Violet and Rose also have some similarities. They're both rebellious and impulsive at times. Fiercely protective of their loved ones. Rose originally had a grudge against her mother for leaving her at the academy at a young age and never visiting her. Similarly, Violet thinks her mother doesn't care about her, because she made her become a rider.

I'd love to revisit this post after the Empyrean series is over and after I've reread the Vampire Academy, because I'm sure I'm forgetting a lot of stuff.
