[violentdelightshavevioletends]

Violet: No snide remarks, I'm proud of you.

Ridoc: I kept the inside thoughts inside.

[shayennelovesbooks]

*Everyone is playing a board game together*

Ridoc: I will put 'A' down to make 'A'.

Xaden: I will add onto your 'A' to make 'AT'.

Rhiannon: I will add onto your 'AT' to make 'RAT'.

Violet: I will add onto your 'RAT' to make 'BIOSTRATAGRAPHIC'.

Ridoc: *flips the board*

Summary:

[Onyx Storm spoilers.] [Canon-divergent, takes place during OS.] With Xaden starting to disturbingly embrace the darkness overtaking him, Violet begins to reckon with her confusing and growing feelings for one of her best friends. Why can't she get Ridoc Gamlyn out of her head?

[iwillwalkthroughthefire]

Violet: Okay, I have to tell you the truth. The monsters from the fairytales are real. They're coming to kill us all, and our government is corrupt and trying to hide it from us.

Rhiannon, Ridoc, and Sawyer: Holy shit! Oh, this is such a relief! We thought that you were, like, mad at us or something. YES!!! Let's go do some TREASON!

ridoc screaming with his whole chest: did you all know my good friend violet she's so talented, brilliant, incredible, amazing, show stopping, spectacular, never the same, totally unique, completely not ever been done before-

[mattyalwayssmokesweed]

The fact that Violet got fucked (literally), betrayed by her boyfriend, heartbroken over losing her friend, betrayed by her dragons, hurt AND poisoned all in the same day is wild. You guys complain she’s “annoying” but I think she’s not half as annoying as she could have been. Matter of fact she should’ve set Riorson House on fire as soon as she woke up and saw HER BROTHER was fucking alive. She took it too well all things considered

Xaden: Yes, the table is broken. Now, what do you need? Ridoc: You two totally broke it, didn't you? Like that armoire no one was supposed to notice getting hauled out of her room during first year? Mira: The what?

[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??”

Xaden in Fourth Wing and Iron Flame: We should not trust Aetos he is bad news

Garrick: Okay

Xaden in Onyx Storm: I think we don’t put enough trust in Aetos

Garrick: Bitch you are the one who started it

[likethewillowfic]

i love ridoc for all the same reasons as everyone else. i love his humor, his quick wittedness, how effortlessly he flirts, how powerful he is, how smart he is.

mostly though, i love how he loves violet. he’s on quest squad with protecting and being there for his friend at the forefront of his mind because he doesn’t trust the others intentions when it comes to protecting her over xaden.

he was right to be pissed about xaden’s venin status because she had been in double danger (in his mind) all this time without someone on only her side.

i think ridoc likes xaden and considers him a friend, but he would dagger him in a heartbeat if it meant protecting violet.

ridoc is the brother violet deserves.

She shoots a sideways glance my way. “But he’s right, you and Riorson bicker like you’ve been married fifty years and neither of you wants to do the dishes.” “That is not true,” I protest as Sawyer nods. “Agreed,” Ridoc says. “And it’s always the same fight.” He lifts his hand to his chest. “I’ll trust you if you stop keeping secrets!” He drops the hand and scowls. “It’s my secretive nature that attracted you, and why can’t you just stay out of harm’s way for five fucking minutes?”

They called her out lmaoo

[shayennelovesbooks]

Violet: Hey Ridoc, are you wearing your running bottoms...and your hoodie?

Ridoc: *nods*

Garrick: have fun

Ridoc: *leaves*

Violet: Oh my god, what is wrong with Ridoc?

Violet: What happened?

Imogen: Ridoc is going for a run. If anything, we should ask what is right with him

Violet: He only goes running if he's upset and he's wearing his sad hoodie and by the looks of it it's been washed, which is bone-chilling

Xaden: He's fine, everything is okay

Rhiannon: *storming in*

Rhiannon: I just passed Ridoc!

Rhiannon: On the street!

Rhiannon: Running!

Rhiannon: ON Purpose! Oh my god!

Xaden: Maybe I was wrong

Rhiannon: *runs to the window* RIDOC! ARE YOU OK?

Violet: WE SEE YOU! AND WE LOVE YOU!

Xaden: in my defense, no one here emotes in a normal way

Garrick: That's fair

[aprill-99]

Xaden: “Okay everyone, safety briefing for this weekend.”

Xaden *to Ridoc and Bodhi*: “Do not add to the population.”

Xaden *to Imogen*: “Do not subtract from the population.”

Xaden *to Rhiannon, Sawyer, and Garrick in order*: “Do not end up in the newspaper, the hospital, or in jail.”

Xaden *to Violet*: “If you do end up in jail, establish dominance quickly.”

[azrielsshadows42]

Ridoc: Never have I ever been handcuffed

Violet: *drinks*

Second squad: You've been arrested?!

Violet: That wasn't the question

It’s a shame violet didn’t get a bachelorette party because ridoc would have loved to strip and give her a lap dance
