The knights love and hate Merlin coming to training. They love it because Merlin is their little cheerleader and they seem to perform better when Merlin is there to cheer them on. They hate it because he never cheers Arthur on and Arthur gets jealous and shows off to catch Merlin’s attention which means that Arthur performs better when Merlin is there which makes him a demon on the field. Which means the knights have to visit Gaius after training to get new bruise salves and that one time when Percival had to get his broken nose set because he ducked too late when Arthur was swinging the hilt of his sword down because he was exhausted from how hard Arthur was pushing them

The original percy jackson series is about cycles of abuse and neglect, right. Were introduced to percy as a kid who has clearly been left behind by a school system that has given up on him, restless and unengaged and self-defetist because hes been given nothing that works for him and no one even tries to meet him where he is. Then hes told no, listen, your neurodivergence is amazing and you just need to be given something that actually utilizes your unique palatte. And thats obviously the uplifting idea rick wanted for his kids, right. But once we get to know chb the same cycles are happening there too. There are kids "left behind" there too for one reason or another, because their parents dont want to claim them, because their parents werent important enough to get a cabin. Do you get it, all the kids who dont fit the most common neurotypes get shoved into the same closet. Kids are being left in a cruel world to fend for themselves without the tools they need. Theyre dying because no one bothered to accommodate them. Its such an obvious parallel that the first chapter introduces a teacher whos written to be especially hard on percys disability and she turns out to literally be one of these monsters trying to kill him. Meanwhile sally jackson tells him she named him after Perseus because she wanted a redemption for a hero whos story ended in tragedy. Meanwhile every book in the series replicates a greek myth step for step until the moment they break the cycle. Annabeth, playing Odysseus, is talked down from her hubris and grounded by her friends. Percy, playing Heracles, meets someone wronged by the original Heracles and rights his wrongs by refusing to go down the same selfish path as him. Monsters are reborn because they are--as the books explicitly call them--achetypes. These kids are stuck inside the cyclical nature of mythology because thats what happens to mythology, it gets retold over and over again. But these are the kids who have to live it. The series ends with percy being offered immortality and he rejects it because he wants to use his godly favor to force them to break their cycle of neglecting their kids. The series ends with a declaration that we cant keep letting this happen. The very first book offees the same choice. It ends with percy refusing to keep the head of medusa as a spoil of war, refusing his heroic reward. He lets his mother have the head and use it to kill gabe. Isnt that fucking crazy for a kids book? Gabe wasnt a Monster. He wasnt going to Turn to Dust and Disappear in a narratively convenient way. He was a living breathing mortal dude and percy and his mom killed him without remorse. Break the cycle of abuse!!!! Dont let this happen again!!! Anyway thats why the original percy jackson series is Hey where are you going with our breadsticks

[fandomtrash4]

do you like the grump sunshine trope for the giggles and laughs or do you like the idea of pestering someone being your most annoying self to someone and having them still stick around instead of thinking you're too much and do you also like the idea of being special enough to someone to be one of the few people someone who doesn't normally smile, chooses to smile at. do you wish the rays of your affection weren't received with shunned squinted eyes, and instead actually warmed someone and made their life better, added something to it. do you wish you were needed and unable to be replaced because someone needed your 'too much' because it was just enough for them, for once you're enough.

[fandomtrash4]

OH SHIT RQ IT HAS BEEN TOO LONG

Brennan Sorrengail 🤝 Shade Barrow

Faking their death and letting their whole family mourn them, just to actually be fighting a revolution their very electrically inclined little sister ends up joining

[fandomtrash4]

I love how much he loves her hair, and even tells her it’s his weakness

“I was going to use the word ‘explosive,’ but I think ‘great’ covers it.” His fingers tangle in my hair. “I fucking love your hair. If you ever want to bring me to my knees or win an argument, just let it down. I’ll get the point.”

Goddamn, I love them so much. I have got a lot of incredible plans for these two because they have lived with me since I finished Fourth Wing😌

I cannot thank the sweetest soul ever, @anxara.art more for all the hard work she put in bringing this to life! I hope you all adore it as much as I, and send her all the love and support✨

[fandomtrash4]

Up until this moment, I’d always thought “a rider without their dragon is dead” was just a warning to not be caught on the front lines without your dragon 😭 not that you’d literally die if your dragon did 😭

“Thank you for being my friend”

“It’s been my honor..”

“..I’ll take care of Sloan”

Me:

[fandomtrash4]

She’s the first fmc I actually relate to, having a disability myself, my knees are always a problem. They’re destroying themselves, so reading a book about someone with problems similar to mine, and to see what she does in spite of her health issues, it’s really moving, and makes me wonder how much more I can do

Violet is teeny and frail the way that so many ya female protaginists are. But the difference is that the story recognizes her weaknesses and addresses them. Everyone can see she is breakable but what makes her scary is that she's fully willing to break herself to get what she wants. She isn't just anger in a cute tiny package she is rage shoved into a glass bottle with a crack running up the side. She doesn't just fight through pain, she functions in pain constantly. She's brutal and resilient and so willing to throw herself on a knife just to give others a better chance at survival.

[fandomtrash4]

Okay but when Xaden was like "She should have killed you in the field but she's merciful, that's not a flaw I possess" he channeled his inner Jude Duarte

[fandomtrash4]

No no, Tairn shouldn’t eat him… we need Vi to exact her justice and revenge first. Then Tairn can do as he pleases

Just finished Fourth Wing. How am I suppose to carry on living for like 5 months until book 2 is out? Like how?!

Also Dain is the absolute worst. If Tairn doesn’t eat him in the next book, I’ll be disappointed. The absolute worst.

[fandomtrash4]

Fourth Wing Spoilers!!

Just thinking about the fact that Brennan’s met Tairn before and probably told him all about his little sister Violet. So Tairn very much does know exactly who and what she is.

[fandomtrash4]

We don’t deserve Rhi, and I’m so scared of this next book

Fourth Wing Spoilers!!

We all need a friend like Rhiannon who not only is supportive but who will also cover the three stars, wingleader tag, fourth wing emblem on the shoulder of a jacket belonging to your ‘enemy’ in front of your ‘childhood best friend’.

[fandomtrash4]

We need Dain being absolutely WRECKED by all parties

I NEED some fourth wing fanfics like now

I need Brennan and xaden talking about violet

I need Brennan finding out about xaden and violet

I need so many fics

[fandomtrash4]

PLEASE I BEG! The absolute realism here!

Not enough people talking about how laugh out loud funny Fourth Wing can be.

Also... 📣 📣 let all our FMCs be this openly horny 📣 📣

[fandomtrash4]

The book is just Violet doing her damnedest to die, and Xaden trying his utmost to save her from herself.

[fandomtrash4]

He probably wouldn’t even fully give up if she told him too. He’d probably still think of ways to win her back, but stay respectful obvis

This man is absolutely smitten,only Xaden Riorson is capable of simping, giving himself a pep talk all the while schooling himself about boundaries 😭

[fandomtrash4]

Xaden: So you sister was casually poisioning everyone

Brennan: *being extremly proud of her*
