#Taryn not so much

[thejudeduarte]

Do you think Jude told her sisters about the whole knife to throat/other cardan situations? Like I can imagine Jude having some girl talk about it and everything but it might just be me

[sweetvillainjude]

It’s so interesting to me in tfota that the characters with 'bad' reputations, Jude and Cardan, who are known for being antagonistic/defiant/hostile and cruel/wicked respectively, are the ones who have morals for the things that matter – i.e. their loyalty, the way they freed the human slaves, how angry they got seeing taryn/nicasia cry and how ready they were to fight because of it. Whereas the characters with outwardly 'better' reputations, Taryn and Locke, who are known for being sweet/nonaggressive/compliant and charming/the 'nicer one' respectively, are ironically the ones who prove to have poor morals when it matters, i.e. by betraying those who trust them, and showing little regard for things like loyalty and honour.

It's so interesting and for me at least seriously riled me up to read, because for taryn/locke it's like, you act like you're good but you're actually awful, whereas for jude/cardan it's, you act like you're awful but you're actually good.

WILD.

Jude's bangs became to me what bob cuts used to be

Atlas: So your boss had you work through your break? Bee… 

Taryn: It’s fiiine, I ate my granola bar in between sorting books.

Atlas: You know that isn’t a healthy place to be at, right?

Taryn: Yeah, but it pays decently.

Atlas: Are you like the sole provider of your house…?

Taryn: Oh no! I’m not sure if Kai mentioned it, but our parents are in Selvadorada taking care of my grandma. She’s really sick and well, we made this arrangement. They take care of a majority of rent and Kai and I take care of utilities and the rest. 

Atlas: Ah, I see. I’m sorry to hear about your grandma.

Taryn: I appreciate it. She’s a kind woman, she used to make me champurrado on Christmas and it was the best.

Atlas: That’s really sweet. I’ve always wondered what that tastes like. Growing up, Toni was adamant on us not meeting our grandparents, so we never got to experience anything. Is it just fancy hot chocolate?

Taryn: I mean it has chocolate, but the consistency and flavor is a bit different.

Atlas: Huh… Want to make some later on tonight?

Taryn: Sure! I was actually wondering, you seemed a bit eager to skip out on that party.

Atlas: Do you still feel bad? Don’t! Besides Dan couldn’t even type out a proper response which tells me they’re having a great time… Without me.

Taryn: So you did want to go.

Atlas: No! No. 

Atlas: I didn’t want to see Frances. That’s the honest answer. 

Taryn: OH, I’m so sorry, I didn’t realize things were bad.

Atlas: Nah, I’m sorry, I didn’t want to sour the evening. 

Taryn: Atlas, you don’t have to pretend around me. What’s on your mind?

Atlas: Frances and I… We have our differences. Sometimes it feels like the things that matter to me aren’t important to her and that’s fine, I guess.

Taryn: And this is in regards to?

 Atlas: Toni. She feels like I have something to prove. 

Taryn: But you do. 

Atlas: Taryn-

Taryn: And you know you shouldn’t. 

Atlas: But-

Taryn: So the question is, why? 

Atlas: I think it’s the satisfaction of beating an impossible challenge. God, I sound like I’m into being humiliated or something.

Taryn: He isn’t worth it but you already know that. My job also isn’t worth it, I’m aware but people often do things that we know aren’t good for us. As for Frances, she isn’t your enemy, but I think maybe the two of you need to find common ground in how you both communicate. 

Atlas: [ begins to attempt to speak before falling silent again ]

Taryn: What?

Atlas: Nothing, I’m just glad to be here with you. Thank you. [ bewp ] Your glasses keep slipping down your face.

Taryn: I know, I need to get them fixed- Wait, don’t change the subject. You have something to say. 

Atlas: I dunno what you’re talking about. 

Taryn: Atlas the bike-

Atlas: Wha- Fuck! 

Taryn: I- We should head back.

Atlas: Yeah, of course.

throwback thursday: tfota edition

throwback to when this was literally jude:

[ineedtoventaboutbooks]

Eva Duarte really is that bitch and all her daughters are too.

Jude: mortal girl who is constantly underestimated uses her oceans of inner resources to stage a coup and take the entire crown of elfhame TWICE. Is literally my favorite female character ever written. Stands up to high ranking fae and beats fucking Madoc AND Grima Mog in one on one combat!!!

Taryn: Amazingly adapts to life in faerie and knows what she wants and gets it. Does she want stupid things and is awful? Yes. But she’s still kind of that bitch.

Vivi: stands up to the fae general she witnessed kill her parents for her whole childhood and is determined to live and love in the mortal way she grew up with. She has pitfalls but she does well.

Eva (the og blueprint): Goes to elfhame and MARRIES Madoc the big bad fae general. She isn’t his mistress which is so notable bc they were bound to each other. When she realizes he’s dangerous she runs away with the best mortal blacksmith around. And strategically burns a mother and baby alive (?) in his house so he won’t hurt her family. Literally burns it to the ground while he isn’t home. She had ambition and she was cutthroat and she was that bitch.

[lanterns-and-daydreams]

Good morning to everyone in Elfhame except Locke, Dain and Balekin

[viivdle]

i am NOT a taryn defender, i don't even TOLERATE HER

"she had problems!" do i care!

she betrayed her SISTER. her TWIN SISTER THAT DID EVERYTHING FOR HER.

multiple times, by the way.

SHE NEVER APOLOGISED and then she had the audacity to ask jude that favor in QoN

the only reason i can live with her surviving is that it would hurt jude if she died

me when taryn:

i roll my eyes when she shows up sorry guys! not sorry though!!

Kakashi’s Story- Chapter One

Nanara acting like his first impression of Kakashi is that he’s a ‘sloppy man’ when he JUST called him handsome. Boy you’re just mad you have to study lol

Even worse he thinks Kakashi will be ‘too easy too care off’. Kid’s in for one heck of a surprise and i can’t wait

Kakashi acting like he knows nothing about himself😂😂😂

‘What a waste of a life’ Nanara shhhh it’s ok you’ll take those words back soon enough.

Kakashi doesn’t even waste time calling out the Prime ministers lack of care for Nanara. I love it, destroy that pos.

Prime minister was already a dirt bag but he also locked away the library? Triple dirt bag. Supreme dirt bag!

I love that Kakashi just opens the library without hesitation. Don’t get between him and books, it won’t end well for you lol

Using fire to melt the inside of the keyhole! Especially funny because i remember @wind-becomes-lightning telling me Sasuke thought Kakashi would kick a door in in Sasuke retsudon XD

Rules and regulations are important but they go in the trash if they prevent you from reading. Love this. This is the best boy right here.

Nanara has an opportunity to explore the library and get whatever he wants, and of course he searches for a book about the sixth hokage lol

Kakashi using Nanara’s favorite book to get him excited for learning how to read and write. This man knows how to teach.

Somehow ‘reading would be better than playing outside’ is the perfect Kakashi line.

‘If he’s not going to play with me he’s useless’ LIES

The village aunties are gushing about kakashi and honestly, who can blame them? He is a handsome man.

Nanara stop acting like you didn’t call him handsome yourself XD

Naming a foul Pakkun. Kakashi’s hounds would be so proud but i wonder how Pakkun would feel having a horse named after him lol.

Pakkun shoots beams out of his mouth now? And is huge? These stories are really something lol

Kakashi using wind style to save Nanara from the horse! He has now used 3/5 of the elements and NONE of them are his nature type or the first style he used (lighting and earth). I love the representation of his ability to use all of the elements. It’s perfect!

Kakashi the horse whisperer Ahhhhh

Kakashi always finds trouble when he goes for a walk XD no wonder Shikamaru seemed so stressed in Konohan Shinden when Kakashi was talking about taking walks 😂😂😂

All the women sneaking peaks at Kakashi while cooking. This man just cannot escape people wanting to sneak a peak at him.

Kakashi is so weak for animals and the falcon rubbing its head against him for treats is such a cool mental image!!!

Kakashi getting distracted and forgetting to watch the stuff he’s cooking is such a mood.

Kakashi calling it brave to build a village far away from the rest of the world to avoid war. Does part of him wish Konoha has done that? Does he wonder if maybe he’d never would have had to lose all the people he did if the higher ups in Konoha decided to put their people’s safety first?

Telling Nanara all about shinobi was so cute and showing how a Hokage who wants the best for their people thinks. I love seeing him discuss trading and working together with other villages for mutual benefit. You can see just how he was thinking when he was running Konoha and the ideals he fell back on to do better for his village.

‘During the time of the sixth hokage, the land of fire saw unprecedented economic development and grew rapidly’ this line needs to be stamped everywhere for fandom. I love that Kakashi got to be the peace time Hokage because he was the absolute best option for that. No one else could have grown Konoha in the same way Kakashi did.

I love that we get to see Kakashi in teacher mode. Like the manga skipped over him actually teaching his students a lot and only gave us small glimpses, but seeing how he made learning fun for Nanara is so cute and wholesome and displays just how good of a teacher he really is.

Kakashi telling Nanara about his favorite book and offering to lend it to him when he’s older 😭😭😭😂😂

Aww Nabara is so proud of his big sister 💜💜💜
