#Imogen Cardulo and Quinn Hollis

[violentdelightshavevioletends]

The balance goes like this:

A father responsible for her brother’s death. A rule-following general’s child. A marked one who’s the embodiment of a living-breathing rebellion. A first-year and their third-year wing-leader. Should-be enemies, turned into something more… Xaden & Violet or Sloane & Dain

A dragon-rider and a scribe… Lilith & Asher or Sawyer & Jesinia

The best of friends from day one, a literal ride or die in the Fourth Wing quadrant, just trying to make it… or at least make it a good one… Imogen & Quinn or Violet and Rhiannon

The Shadow Wielders… Xaden or Lynx

[fryingpan1234567]

“would you slap your best friend for a million dollars?”

Sawyer: “I would slap Ridoc for free”

Ridoc: *tearing up* “I’m your best friend?”

Violet: “if you slap me and then I slap you we each get a million”

Rhiannon: “great thinking, fuck the system”

Garrick: “fucking FINALLY”

Xaden: “bold of you to assume you can even get close enough to my face to… what are you— Garrick— Garrick NO STOP TRYING TO HIT ME THAT WASN’T A CHALLENGE—”

Quinn: “no.”

Imogen: “for a MILLION? girl I’ll slap YOU if you don’t start acting right”

Liam: “I would never hit Violet.”

Vi: “what if it was during sparring?”

Liam: “well—”

Vi: “what if Xaden said you could?”

Liam: “he can’t give me permission to hit you??”

Vi: “what if you were being held at sword point”

Liam: “do I still get the million dollars?”

Vi: “yes.”

Liam: “still no!”

Vi: “WHY NOT?”

Liam: “DO YOU WANT ME TO HIT YOU??”

Vi: “IT’S A MILLION DOLLARS I JUST CAN’T FIGURE OUT WHY YOU WOULDN’T TAKE THAT OPPORTUNITY!”

bonus:

interviewer: “would you slap—”

Cat: “yes.”

interviewer: “I didn’t finish the—??”

Cat: “the answer is yes, I will slap anybody you put in front of me.”

interviewer: “…even Maren?”

Cat and Maren, at the same time: “yes”

Maren: “I’m still mad at you for that”

Cat: “you shouldn’t have tried to take my fucking strawberries??”

How physically strong Garrick Tavis actually is?

I was just re-reading Imogen’s chapter in Onix Storm and Garrick lifts Imogen while she is holding Quinn. He actually lifts the weight of two people and walk. We know Violet is petite and probably easy to lift, but Imogen is not. It’s clear on her chapter that she has muscles enough to keep her seat when Glane is upside down and strong enough to fight using swords. Even if we assumed Quinn is not so muscled, she is still strong enough to hold her seat.

Just a random thought about how riders basically super heroes.

Quinn: Wow, they really hate us.

Imogen: Yes, maybe they're homophobic.

Quinn: But we're not gay, Imogen.

Imogen:

Quinn:

Imogen: We're not?

“don't be scared. my mom will take care of you. and katrina, too. she's a little bossy, but she’ll be thrilled to have another little sister. i talk about you all the time. they'll know who you are. don't be scared.”

[krispypajamalady]

Just gonna drop this as a reminder and run away 🏃‍♀️🏃‍♀️

“You’re mine, and I love you, too.” Her smile slips and another tear falls. “I’m scared. I don’t want to be scared.”

My face twists, but I mask it. “Don’t be scared.” I shake my head and force a smile. “My mom will take care of you. And Katrina, too.” My mouth quivers. “She’s a little bossy, but she’ll be thrilled to have another little sister. I talk about you all the time. They’ll know who you are. Don’t be scared.”

[silverflameataraxia]

Imogen: We're not talking about my love life. I have Quinn - my actual friend - for that.

Quinn: You should tell him, Gen. Tell him, and you find some happy.

Imogen's in love with Garrick, your honor 🥰

[that2000skid]

About to throw a huge brick at the Empyrean fandom, so… Onyx Storm spoilers under the cut.

I wonder if after Onyx Storm, Imogen wished her signet worked on herself so that she could forget the feeling of holding her best friend while she died. 🧱

"I talk about you all the time. They'll know who you are. Don't be scared."

[violentdelightshavevioletends]

Rhiannon: Anyone d-

Sawyer: Depressed?

Sloane: Drained?

Dain: Dain? It’s always followed with Disdain…

Halden: Dumb?

Imogen: Dumber??

Ridoc: Dumbo!

Sawyer: Did you just say the flying elephant?

Ridoc: Definetly.

Jax, hiding a laugh: Dumbest?!

Garrick: Doomed?

Jesinia: Dating… if we’re allowed to ask questions… Sawyer what are you doing Friday night?

Quinn, looking at Jax & batting eyelashes: Darling?

Cat, holding out hand: Della-Cordella Catriona Cordella, nice for you to meet me.

Bodhi, muttering: Dropping out? — Cause, I wish!

Aaric, wistfully: DRAGONS!!

Xaden: Disliked?

Liam’s ghost: Dead?

Violet, deadpan: Dissociated & Dedicated to Dunne?

Rhiannon: -done with their work… what is wrong with you people…

[juliaboudewijn]

I have a bit of a prompt for everyone: how would all the Empyrean characters react to watching a horror movie? I know Xaden would just sit there with his arms crossed and a deadpan face, looking slightly bored, but what about the rest?

Fourth Wing spam

Cat: I was born for politics. I have great hair and I love lying.

Violet: What’s wrong? You look 10 seconds away from ripping someone’s throat out. Garrick: Fucking Imogen and Bodhi were trying to invoke one of the minor gods again last night. I didn't get an ounce of sleep, thanks to their bloody chanting.

While the Squad is in a battle Imogen, trying to warn about the location of an enemy: To the left! Garrick: Take it back now y'all!

Cat: I hate you! Violet: Wow! So much in common already!

Ridoc: Everybody shut up, I'm thinking. Imogen, patting him on the back: Well, don’t think too hard. I wouldn’t want you to hurt yourself.

Cat: Am I a good person? No. But do I try to be better every single day? Also no.

Dain: Get on my level! Imogen: Unfortunately, to "get on your level" I'd need a boat trip to the Mariana Trench and a pair of cinderblock shoes.

Sloane: I have yet to encounter a problem where a sword didn't factor into the solution at least in some way.
