MARRISA MEYER WHAT WAS THE POINT OF THIS HELLO?? IF NOT ENDGAME WHY SM CHEMISTRY??? WHY BEING VULNERABLE???

“His lips tilted to one side, but there was an unusual sadness as he peered back at her. “I want us to understand each other. I understand why you lied to me. Just as I understand you are more than your lies.”

At these words, the strangest warmth flooded through Serilda, spreading out until it reached her fingers and toes.

You are more than your lies.

The Erlking tipped his chair toward hers. “In the same way that you are not your god-gift … In the same way that you are not your mother or your father … We are not the vices that created us.”

She held his gaze a long time, debating whether or not to say the words that rose to the surface. In the end, she couldn’t help it. “So,” she said slowly, “you haven’t stabbed your arrows into the flesh of helpless mortals? And … you haven’t murdered children simply because they became inconvenient to you?” She shook her head. “Are you truly trying to convince me that you are not evil?”

She had not noticed that a wall between them had been opening up until it came crashing down once more. The Erlking slumped back in his chair and trailed his fingertip along the stem of his glass. “Forgive me for thinking you might understand.”

Really, really hoping Marissa Meyer eventually gives us an LGBTQ+ book bc of some of the background characters in the Gilded duology are giving me hope. Like, I’ve been a fan of her since I was 11 and to see her, someone who’s shaped my love of reading and characters and sci fi and media in general write a story that makes me feel represented...it would be ground breaking. Also, I love the way she writes (most) of her romances and to see that done with a wlw relationship for example would make me fucking sob. Marissa if you’re reading this...please.

Serilda: Gaslight Gatekeep Girlboss

Erlking: Manipulate Manwhore Manslaughter

Perchta: Bully Butcher Bisexual

Gild: Simp Spin Sadboy

Theory that involves all of MM books

Ok, so hear me out. If you have read all of Marissa´s books this might interest you, Be careful this contains SPOILERS of most of her books, so don't read if you haven't read them first.

After that warning, lest start. So after the ending of Cursed, we learned that Serilda was telling the story, right? And if you have read that one ending in Cinder's get me to the wedding adventure, you will know Serilda was the one telling the story to the children, considering this, what if all of Marissa's books were stories that once Serilda said to the people without knowing they, one day in the future, will become true. Think about it. It does make sense, doesn't it? Like, Gilded is a book that is told hundreds of years ago, after that there will come Heartless, Instant Karma, The Renegades Trilogy, and finally TLC.

This would be a way to connect all of her books, maybe the only way.

What do you think? Am I going mad or it makes sense? We should try to make it a headcanon at least for the fandom?

Okay so I got Cursed (the second book in Marissa Meyer’s Gilded Duology) literally the day it came out, but I haven’t had much time to read it (we’re moving lol, so ✨packing panic ✨) until yesterday and BOY OH BOY. I won’t post spoilers yet cause 1) that’s mean and 2) I’m only like 80 pages in as of rn so I haven’t even hit the deep part yet but jESUS CHRIST.

Anyway, have this incorrect quote I thought up cause it’s low key true (even though we already know the “or what” cause of the first book lmao):

Erlking: Poltergeist! Show yourself, do not ignore me!

Gild: Or WHAT? WHAT will you do? I’m already in hell!

[scarredpineapple]

Serilda: Are you done yet?

Erkling: With what, darling?

Serilda: Being a fucking bitch boy

Gild: *pokes head through random door* Yeah cause we’ve been ready to leave for a while now

[trolliworms]

Me, starting Gilded duology: oh this looks like a fun little twisted fairytale type thing, I’ve read so many before lol, I’ll try it

Me, finishing Cursed: AVSHSJNDBDNS WHAT THE ABSOLUTE SHIT DID I JUST READ IM DEAD DYING SCREAMING SOBBING MARISSA MEYER HOW COULD YOU

[4tarosho]

as rushed as the ending is, serilda's pain is portrayed so perfectly. in the time between gild + the baby dying and them coming back to life, serilda has lost everything. not even her own mother is willing to help her. the first time she gets to hold her baby, it's dead. the love of her life dies right in front of her after only a month of freedom, and she never got to tell him she loves him. serilda screaming and crying until she cant anymore perfectly fits imo

Serilda: Gild, darling, you need to stop your inflating the economy.

Gild, frantically spinning everything into gold: but Serildaaa I have to have a hobby.
