THE BOOKS OF BEGINNING

“That’s the whole point of life. To love someone. Don’t you think?” "Yes. I do." a TBOB centered blog run by the president of the cult of Kate Wibberly.

during the battle of the dead city:

that poor teenage boy was really just getting tortured by two preteen girls and wondering what he had ever done wrong for gabriel to put him on babysitting duty

If it weren’t for the Wibberlys emphasizing the need to be subtle and talking her out of it, Wilamena would wear her fancy ballgowns to the most random places. You go to the grocery store and see some teenage girl dressed in this:

Richard, passing the phone to baby Kate: It's for you.

A few Kate and Gabriel headcanons because I love them and they deserved to spend more bonding time together:

90% of the time when they’re on a family trip with Kate’s siblings and their friends, Gabriel drives and Kate sits shotgun to help with navigation and they take turns side-eyeing the kids over one shoulder when they get too rowdy.

Since they both have long hair they’re always loaning one another hair-ties.

When Gabriel realizes just how bad Kate’s insomnia is, he goes and gets her one of Granny Peet’s potions that will help her sleep.

They go on relaxing nature hikes together when they need a break from the endless chaos of their family.

They also have tea together at least once a week and talk. Common discussion topics include the latest shenanigans of the chaos children and also griping about the magical world’s incompetent leaders.

They judge the council of Loris so hard together. Kate “literally yelled at these grown ass adults the first time they all gathered” Wibberly and Gabriel “canonically will ignore the people in charge if they’re making stupid choices” are so done with the nonsensical arguing of the magical world’s leaders and they bond over it.

Gabriel teaches Kate (and all his kids tbh) the different recipes he’s learned through the years. A lot of them were passed down to him by Granny Peet fwiw.

this reminds me so much of our beloved princess

Emma definitely has the funniest opinions on her siblings’ partners and she never hesitates to voice them. She constantly reminds Rafe that Kate is out of his league. This doesn’t even have anything to do with the whole Dire Magnus thing: Emma simply adores and admires her big sister and believes she’s so great that no one is good enough for her. (That said she does respect her sister’s choice in spouses and all that, she just likes to mess with Rafe and remind him how lucky he is.)

Meanwhile, it’s the exact opposite with Wilamena. Emma regularly asks Wil if she’s sure Michael is the one she wants. “He’s an absolute know-it-all and he once got stuck in a tree,” she says. “You know you can do better, right? Like, a so much better.” Oh, don’t get her wrong, Emma’s glad Wilamena has her heart set on Michael (mostly because she gets to tease them both about it) she just can’t believe anyone - let alone an elf princess slash dragon - would have a crush on her loser brother.

How can she tease Rafe though? He would probably immediatly agree with Emma's assessment and solemnly nod along lol

[katewibberlystan]

you're so right. that's the real reason emma's always grumpy with rafe, because he's so much harder to tease than michael.
