things i liked in Fyre (will probably contain Spoilers)
okay so i’ve seen Fyre get a lot of hate and i understand why, there were a lot of things about it that didn’t add up or were inconsistent or just made me cringe. at the same time though, there were a lot of things i actually really liked about it, so here’s my masterpost? masterlist? what do you call it?
the mythology stuff behind the 2-faced ring. i feel like this builds off very nicely from the melodrama in Darke?
SIMON AND LUCY GETTING MARRIED im !!!
Beetle and Marcia being a Team ™ i mean… honestly… the mutual respect as well as how well they can deal with stuff together,,,, i’m Shook
Marcia and Marcellus being Marcia and Marcellus (esp. with regards to Septimus)
Jenna being Queenly as hell… more will be said soon
Marwick being so kind and helpful to Aunt Zelda (who is Olde now remember)
Mandy “I wield a mean duster” Marwick,,,, also his cooking,,, I mean.. I would Die for this boy
Septimus and Jenna telling Marwick about his family (i had to reread that chapter because it made me Emo)
Marcellus being a Good Uncle to Jenna
Spit Fyre and the Dragon Boat, the family vibes
Septimus going from awkward 3rd wheel wrt Jenna and Beetle to their matchmaker :’)
Simon becoming the Alchemie Apprentice… finally! he deserves all the good things!
Forest Heaps living in the Palace and generally helping out,,,, cute
Marcia telling Septimus to have “fun” and Septimus being like “who are you and where’s the real Marcia Overstrand”
Marissa “I flirt with every boy in the Castle” Lane kinda understandable though I mean the boys in the SH universe are all cute
Milo and Jenna becoming a little closer because even tho Milo’s not the best, he really does care
Lucy the architect!! that’s my girl
Septimus and Simon bonding and being able to do stuff well together
Marcellus suggesting that they use Simon for marketing purposes and Lucy being like “huh.” (i can post photographical evidence if you don’t believe me)
more World Saving from the 2 Darkest Wizards in the Universe by our Fave Squad, this time including Simon
Simon! actually! figuring out what was happening! when nobody else could!!! I love it when he uses his Darke knowledge to save the day
Marcia suggesting Merrin for bait makes me laugh so much somehow it’s so very Slytherin of her
Merrin and his mother,,,, they’re sweet. I don’t like either of them personally but their relationship is Good and i hope they’re Happy
Jim Knee,,, I mean,,,, where was this sleepy banana boi during the Darke Domaine when we needed him but here he is now
Jenna’s Port Palace……… Jenna Knowing Queen Things............ Jenna being badass and yet regal
Marwick becoming the Keeper! yes fuckn finally that’s my boyyyyyy
Julius Pike and Marcellus Pye and some age-old Drama
Jenna, Sep and Nicko actually flying off to the house of Foryx to get Hotep-Ra’s help
the Saving the Day bit ft. Jenna doing a standalone spell with Marcia protecting her
Jenna being crowned and becoming the Queen
Marwick giving her Petroc’s family… I mean, for the benefit of me and all the other kids who wondered what had become of Petroc
OH ALSO obviously, Alther and Marcia!!! i mean, that holds for every book
SIMILARLY Marcia and Septimus!!! there are so many good moments that show you how much those two care about each other and it makes me so emotional
(edit: yikes, can’t believe i forgot) Septimus thinking Marcia and Marcellus are a couple when Marcia announces their “new partnership” lmao i can’t deal
welcome to west ham RAMI KHADEM ( aria shahghasemi ) ! please be sure to check in with your faction leader within twenty four hours.
( aria shahghasemi + age + muse 22 ) isn’t that rami khadem over there? i heard he joined faction three after they got back to west ham. it’s funny, ‘cause they were only on the service trip because the hills in the mountains are good for skating. hopefully they fit in there – they’re steadfast, but also irascible. oh, i’m sure they’ll be fine. ( paige, she/her, 23, est )
