#reckless series

The Jade Goyl from the first book of my all-time favourite series — ‘The Petrified Flesh’ by Cornelia Funke

Close-ups and spoilers under the break:

I have some deep green jade from a friend’s trip to Aotearoa New Zealand and a few other random chunks from museums around Australia so mixed them together to come up with a possible texture.

I was thinking about the characteristics of jade and the places where it’s an important stone culturally as I’ve been rereading the whole Mirrorworld series, and I’m thinking the final book could be set in Aotearoa at least partially. It was mentioned at the start of ‘The Silver Tracks’ just like Nihon was mentioned in ‘Living Shadows’ and ‘The Golden Yarn’. The dreamlike beautiful quality with which Cornelia described Nihon and Toshirō and Hideo is so captivating; I’m very excited for the final book to be announced.

Guuuuuuuys, I wrote a song about Reckless and I mailed it to Cornelia Funke!

This was the mail I sent

This was send back, then I sent the song...

And then Cornelia replied ^v^

I'm really happy right now!!! 😁😁😁

(Ps: should I post the song on here?)

Can we just talk about the fact that the fandom is so small? Seriously, books are absolutely awesome, Cornelia offers us a whole universe, and there are twenty people who talk about it? The fourth book was not even translated into French (I am French, but luckily I know enough about English to be able to read the book in that language anyway.) Why are there so many people talking about these books?

Do you ship...

Jacob Reckless & Fox (Mirrorworld/Reckless series)

Yes, I ship them

I'm neutral about them

No, I don't ship them

In a fucked up way because it compels me

Not before but now I'm intrigued

Platonically

They're divorced

I don't know them

I wrote a little something. Nerron x Will Reckless.

What do you mean this wasn't exactly what happened in book 4?

John: William?

Will: Yes, it's me. Your son. And it's "Will", Dad.

John: No. "William". I named you.

Will: You ruined my life!

John: How could I ruin your life?! I wasn't even there!

SPOILERS BOOK 4

I have a list of headcanons about Fox and Jacob’s family:

Joie is the eldest, then come James and Eddie

Joie is her father’s daughter in everything BUT dancing. She’s the worst dancer that ever existed, unless somebody guides her right…

Jaime (but they’ll have to stop calling him that when he’ll get older, he’a bound to be taller than Jacob) is the second-born and he is just a little bit less reckless than Joie, more emphatetic and the best dancer in the family (even better than Fox). He’ll grow to be a heartbreaker as his father was when he was young (but who knows when the right girl will come…). He’s a year and a half younger than Joie.

Eddie is the youngest, he, as James, resembles his father physically, but has his mother’s character and is the calmest and most rational in the family. He’a the little one, seven years younger than Joie, and he hates how everyone feels like he is to protect all the time. Let’s say he’s desperately trying to be not as harmless as he seems.

All three of them grew up to their parents stories (there’s only one story they’ll never get told spontaneously, and it involves some immortals, a crossbow and a reward in Lothraine for their uncle’s head) and learnt to fight (not really because Fox and Jacob wanted to but… Joie seems born to play with daggers, swords are Jamie’s second arms and little Eddie has an aim that everybody should fear)

In addition, their favourite uncle (but don’t tell the others) is the first regal guard for Kami’en and the trainer of the Goyl’s guard. He’s difficult to win over, but only because sometimes he becames made of jade.

Nerron and Will will have Joie as their ring-bearer for their marriage (Will wanted an human and a goyl’s ceremony, so who was Nerron to interfere).

For all three of them the day in which they’ll defeat Nerron in combat will be the day of their aldulthood beginning.

They’ll be very very much loved by Aunt Alma, Granpa (or Grumpypa) Albert and Uncle Sylvain. They’ll meet their mother side of the family, but it will be a little more complicated than that. And they’ll only discover the story of a certain Isambard Brunel in a moment of rage and distraction of their father. Afterwards which everybody will cry a lot.

Everybody will be jealous of Joie first boyfriend and when they’ll break up he’ll risk his life from three stupidly possessive Reckless (but in reality nobody will hurt him. Because Joie would be at their throats.

All three of them will be shapeshifters. The first and easiest to transform will be Joie, and Jaime will be the one who finds it more difficult.

One day they will visit Vena, because of some important issue with some glass (?), they only know what they overheard their parents saying. There Joie will meet a prince made of stone who is the only one able to win over her in duel and Jaime will meet for the first time the daughter of a spy his parents seem to know really well. Eddie would be too little for this kind of drama, but he too will discover new things and finally make friend who aren’t already awed by his parents or his siblings. But most importantly, all three of them will cause mayhem with the royal guards and embrass all the trainees.
