“I Know Places” by Taylor Swift is so evajacks coded

[bookloverturnedfangirl]

the only way to cope with ACFTL is 1989 (Taylor’s version)

✨theory time✨

i ramble a lot and get sidetracked because I'm just one of those people but I'm trying my best!!

okay, so my theory is that aurora cursed jacks 😳 might be a bit of a stretch but here's what I think:

so, she obviously has the ability to curse things (because of her diary if I'm correct) so it's likely that she could've cursed jacks (with the deadly kiss)

why would she curse jacks?? well, think about it, there was the carving of "aurora + jacks" that jacks did not seem to recognize so I believe that she could've been jealous of the first fox...and cursed jacks so that his kiss would kill her.

and, it's never explained HOW he became the archer either so she could've cursed him with the archer's curse so he would have to kill the fox but then cursed him AGAIN with the deadly kiss.

or, she could've not cursed him with the archer's curse (because I haven't re-read it or re-read the parts that explain his past in a while so he might've already been cursed before meeting the fox???) and cursed him with the kiss when he didn't kill the fox because of being the archer. i think these are pretty probable just because the carving on the wall seemed important and also aurora's ability to curse things.

anyway, here are some screenshots from when I actually came up with the theory. sorry if this was a little messy or didn't make sense, I wrote this in a rush. have a good day/night, and thank you for reading!

also @mynameisnotkaira also came up with a lot of this so <3

Jacks: Okay, what if the reason you want to murder someone is to make your life easier?

Evangeline:

Jacks: That’s okay, right?

Making every song Evajacks day 2

Okay so imma go with one of the obvious one bc I have to…

I Know Places by Taylor Swift

First of all the general vibe of the song like the growing tension but also somehow wondrous feel to the song is very very evajacks

also the general theme of being chased/chasing and how gossip can ruin lives

They are the hunters we are the foxes

Hunters. Foxes. Obviously evajacks

You stand with your hand on my waistline/it’s a scene and we’re out here in plain sight/ I can here them whisper as we walk by/it’s a bad sign, bad sign/something happens when everybody finds out/ see the vultures circling dark clouds

This reminds me so so much of that scene when jacks is walking with his HAND AROUND EVAS WAIST into Lalas engagement party and everyone’s gossiping about them

loves a fragile little flame it could burn out

this could go so many ways. Jacks original fox and every other girl he’s kissed. Luc and Apollo. Or even, “I’d rather go up in flames with him these watch while he burns”

also just

I know places we can hide

I.e. the Hollow

and

I know for me it’s always you

Eva would defffff say that(jacks too but this ain’t about him, I love him tho)

Bonus: they got the cages, they got the boxes

chaos??? Apollo??

[evajacks13]

evajacks tension is sooo insane. wdym jacks saw blood on evangelines lips and decided to clean it off with his tongue of all things. he couldve easily handed her a tissue - or really anything to wipe the blood off, but no, this man full on leaned into her face and dragged his tongue up across the center of her lips. not to mention softly and slowly like how evangeline described it. and holding evangelines head in place so she wouldnt lean in as much as he knew how much she wanted to??? INSANITY. oh that evajacks kiss in acftl is gonna destroy us all

[moobell55]

Just putting it out there but I refuse to believe Lala should be considered Evangeline’s best friend 🥱

Her BESTIE is 100% Luc and will always be Luc.

He’s like that one guy you dated in Elementary school just to have a “boyfriend” but turns out you’re just meant to be friends.

Like he got cursed by Marisol and turned into a Vampire and wasn’t even mad about it, and never once did he blame Eva.

While on the other hand Lala placed a deadly curse on Evangeline for not opening the Arch, and didn’t really care about Eva getting hurt or the consequences.

Luc is Eva’s best friend and I refuse any other choice.

I did to imagine 10 years after the Acftl that Evajacks are married with a couple of kids and their favorite relative is “Uncle Luc.”

Like he’s cannonly a goofball and funny and always getting on Jacks last nerve so I just know the kids would love him.

Some head cannon interactions

“I once dated your mother and your wicked witch of an Aunt”

“When I was friends with your Uncle Castor your father once got mad because I bit him and “tried” to break my neck”

“Your father once chased me out of the house because I brought up that I was your Mothers first kiss 😼”

THOUGHTS ON WHY JACKS IS THE WAY HE IS…

(WARNING: SPOILERS AHEAD) So I’ve been thinking a lot about Jacks and how well-written he is as a character. I mean on the surface, his backstory looks simple, but when you really think about it, it is actually so tragic and really puts his attitudes and behaviors into context. The man has truly been going THROUGH IT for CENTURIES and it’s so sad. ALSO, this is just MY interpretation😆😆, I could be 100% wrong LMAO. I apologize, doing this is just my coping mechanism for the Evajacks drought we are currently experiencing. Here are a few things I considered;

The curse is supposed to be IMPOSSIBLE to break.

So we know that his curse is that his kiss is lethal and there is only one girl in the whole world that is immune to it, his one true love. Essentially, Jacks is robbed of ever kissing anyone without consequences. He can do anything he wants, but kissing, which is one of the most intimate and sentimental acts between lovers, is basically corrupted because it inevitably leads to the undoing of the objects of his affection. I mean, sure he can do it, but as long as he actually loves that person (Eva), he holds himself back. The curse is the way it is FOR A REASON. There is only ONE person who he can have a happily ever after with. It is meant to take away CHOICE. It condemns and punishes him with an eternity of loneliness. It is meant to tempt him with attraction and the idea of love, but never allows him to fully embrace it because of its consequences. The curse restrains him. He is meant to get close to love and pleasure, but never too close. In other words, there is only ONE person in the world immune to his kiss because he is NOT supposed to ever find that one person. I mean, what are the odds that you find your one true love in such a vast universe? At the right place and at the right time? And that she loves you back?

The curse irrevocably affects his notions and ideals of love.

I think that after a few lifetimes of being so close enough to touch but never hold, he basically convinces himself that his curse is his destiny. That there really is only one pathway to happily ever after. The lines become blurred and he forgets that his curse is a curse, and instead, simply perceives it as something that is set in stone, and established and completely unwavering. He genuinely believes that he has to make the best out of his situation instead of changing it. So he closes himself off, he refuses to be tempted with love ever again, or hope for something to break his curse. To him, those things are not only unrealistic but a waste of time. Jacks does NOT hope. He hates hope. Because where has that ever gotten him? Absolutely nowhere. He is still cursed. In fact, he is always laughing at Evangeline for being so hopeful about love and happily ever afters and infinite endings (I think by the end of TBONA, he admires her for it, but he does not see the value in her philosophy immediately). In his eyes, there are no infinite endings. If there were, there would be one feasible way to make it work, to find a happily ever after. But no, to him, there is one simple ending for him and he sees it so clearly and vividly and fixed that he cannot ignore it. And so he turns his pain and resentment and hurt into drive. He decides to play into the game of destiny and laugh in its face. He is determined to do the impossible; find his one true love. As we know, Fates are obsessive. So he becomes obsessed with the idea of fulfilling what he now sees as his destiny and not a curse; finding his one true love. In fact, he becomes so obsessive that he starts not giving a fuck about the consequences and will do whatever it takes; kiss as many girls as it takes, play with as many humans as it takes, hurt people, scheme, etc. He does not see himself being capable of having a happily ever after beyond what he thinks is his destiny, which is why he is so determined to go back to Donatella. Even if she doesn't love him. He does not care about that, all he knows is that she is the only person that he will ever be able to have a happily ever after with.

The constant failure in his efforts to break the curse convinces him he is unworthy/incapable of love.

He also starts seeing himself as incapable of love. Not only because he is a Fate or because he is cursed, but he does not believe it’s in his control, he has concluded that his destiny has already been decided. But it’s not only that. The events in the Caraval series are extremely significant. He finally finds his one true love. The ONE person that he can have a happily ever after with and not only does she NOT love him back but also not even a curse/magic can make her love him. This further feeds into his perception of being incapable of love. If not even a curse can make the ONE person that he is supposed to be with, love him, then who will ever love him WILLINGLY and NATURALLY? (Music break: Who could ever leave me darling? But who could stay?🎵🎵🕺)

Which is why he is deeply hurt when Evangeline tells him in The Hollow that they are only feeling that way because of the Mirth stone. He says something along the lines of, so you think you would only ever feel that way about me because of the stone? This brings back his fear of being incapable of experiencing love, not because of the curse, not because of being a fate, but because no one ever will do it out of their own initiative. So he closes off again and that’s why he goes cold again after the incident with the mirth stone. He allowed himself to get lost and entertain the idea of experiencing love with Evangeline for a few days. He allowed himself to imagine and hope that there was another ending, to “pretend” as he said. And it felt so real, it was terrifying to him. Terrifying because it was love but also terrifying because he got a taste of it knowing in his heart he was doomed to never have it or experience it again.

He sabotages himself.

Jacks once said that he was a villain even in his own story, and he really is because he consistently sabotages himself. We know that there is a loophole to every curse and yet he never even entertains the idea of finding it (When Evangeline suggests there might be something for him in the Valory Arch, he says “That’s not how it works.”). He never tries to break his curse, only fulfill it. He never dreams, hopes. He yields to the curse. Every. Single. Time. He refuses to see that he has a degree of free will, no matter how limited. That he does not have to settle for what he thinks destiny has already planned for him. I am NOT saying that he has given up or anything, because WE know the passion and desperation and DRIVE that he has. And he DOES fight against FATE in a way, but I just think all that energy is being channeled in the wrong direction. I think he knows that he COULD dream and hope, but he KNOWS that it takes courage and vulnerability. He KNOWS that to hope and dream is to drop your guard and shield being fully aware that it could end badly, that you could still bleed. He KNOWS that allowing himself to believe in infinite endings HURTS. Because another failure would END him. So he refuses to put himself in a position where he will get hurt. (Music break: I see right through me, I see right through me🎵🎵✨✨✨)

Final Thoughts

In conclusion, he is so babygirl AHAHHA, I love him sm. Anyways, I have an unhealthy attachment to this character and I hope he gets to love and kiss and just be happy with Eva. I really just want him to find peace.

[archerandthefoxx]

So I was up from 12am to 5am reading ACFTL and I honestly can't believe that it's over now. Like my brain can genuinely not wrap my head around it. The book I have been waiting for months. The series I've been reading since it was only ouabh. I honestly can't believe it's done now.

So these are just my thoughts on acftl: (SPOILERS BTW)

So I want to start with things I didn't like because I like to end things on a more positive note:

● There was a lot of potential for other things that Stephanie has hinted to in the past (just basically a lot of unanswered questions) that I can't simply believe isn't anything bigger:

> "too familiar nickname" when Jacks called her Little Fox for the first time. This had the potential to be something really big, but the fact that Eva has no connection to the fox is just leaving me confused (as in being the first fox or a reincarnation). Like how. Especially when it was heavily hinted to in the past.

> "heavier than an apple should've been" when Jacks threw an apple at Eva in ouabh. I don't understand what this was supposed to mean if it just ended up being nothing. Like why did it have to be mentioned

> An Evajacks wedding was heavily hinted to in ouabh (even the reverse dust jacket for bn acftl). I just would have liked to see that.

● For me, some of the plot points just felt very disconnected and not linked, to the point where it felt like just random things being stringed together. Like it felt like things were just happening, as if I was reading different books at the same time.

● Acftl kinda feels like after tbona, Stephanie went online and saw everyone's theories and aimed to do the exact opposite. Sometimes I felt so confused because it felt like random facts and points were just thrown at me. Or this felt like this was the original version that Stephanie wrote.

●Why was time personified constantly?

●Where was my boy, Luc? I love him and I missed him so much. I was waiting for him to pop up on the page or make a creepy/funny appearance ("Hello, Eva" - I always laughed when he pulled stuff like this).

●Even though she's not relevant, where was Marisol? You can't tell me she just disappeared. I would have just liked to know what happened to her.

●Aurora's role felt so random.

●The whole thing about Jacks's curse felt to simple and barely touched on.

●I would have liked a better answer on Jacks’s obsession with apples. Like I understand it was left like that on purpose but it would have been nice.

*

●I would have liked the return of Scarlet and Tella. They were the ones who sent Evangeline to the Magnificent North. It would have been nice to see them after all of that and Jacks and Tella could have gotten some sort of closure.

●I love how everyone was hell-bent on the fact that apollo is lysander. The fact that everyone believed Apollo was Lysander started to make me doubt it. When Lysander appeared on the page, I was surprised tbh.

● Tbona established their clear feelings for each other and acftl was them just accepting it.

●Anyways I need domestic evajacks. Like 20 chapters. The bonus epilogues healed me.

My theories that were actually right: ●Tiberius slashing Apollo’s back

●Aurora having some type of magic and being the true villain. I was so sure that she was obsessed with Jacks and placed the Archer's curse.

~"My turn" if you know, you know. Something I never knew I needed. And I need more. There is never such thing as too much Evajacks.

Me having mixed feelings about acftl hurts so much because I've been waiting for this book for so long (I've been reading this series since it was only ouabh). I haven't been able to wrap my head around the fact that this is the official book. Ouabh and Tbona were soo amazing. They were so magical and fairytale like and I cried after I finished acftl, not just because the series was over (because I did) but because it didn't live up to the expectations I had and the high standards that ouabh and tbona set.

This series will always and forever be the series I go back to when I'm sad. Regardless of how it ended, I loved it because Stephanie created a new definition of magic and fairytale for me.

✿ acftl review! ✿ (spoilers!)

🚨 i'm seriously warning you, it's a review and therefore there will be spoilers. read at your own risk! 🚨

✿

✿

✿

✿

✿

things i really liked:

❥ the rhythm of the book was perfect for me. i was able to dive into the story very easily and it's something constant for me in sg's books. the way she develops the plot is perfect. i thought everything was well placed and the pages were used wisely.

❥ the evolution of jacks and evangeline for me is something totally palpable; evangeline continues to have the same essence as always and i love that about her. she is a romantic girl, she is a soft girl and she is sweet. but she is also intelligent, she is strong and she doesn't let herself get carried away by situations. she makes her decisions and she is in control of her life. most of all, i loved that evangeline loves jacks and believes in her love more than anything. all she wanted was him and after three books, seeing them both embrace their desires so openly was extremely satisfying.

the same goes for jacks, who also had two other books to develop as a character. his essence is the same, he remains the sociopath we all love. but he is in love. he is desperately in love. and in this book there was no room for anything other than the two of them fighting for each other. it was everything evajacks needed, and sg delivered it to us perfectly.

i would like to add that i found jacks' povs completely necessary. i saw someone saying they weren't, while i thought they helped us understand his evolution, more of his character and the way he feels about evangeline. i particularly loved it and i don't know how Stephanie thought about not including it!

btw i think it's very important to read this book remembering that it's the third in a trilogy and stephanie is not underestimating our intelligence. she will act as if this is the third book and waste no time drawing so that we understand. she has already established that evangeline and jacks love each other, here they are just on the journey to actually be together.

❥ i loved the way jacks' curse unfolded. it was better than i could have expected and i also love the way eva managed to kiss him. there is no doubt that evangeline, throughout this time, was the only girl on jacks' mind. and she is literally the only one he has ever truly loved.

❥ apollo was disgusting from the beginning to the end. i think that, for what the character proposes, he was developed very well and to some degree i think his participation was quite interesting. aurora is a pest, but i like how stephanie decided to build her.

❥ chaos and lala! i really want the two of them to have a solo book (mainly to read more about evajacks), and i really liked their occasional appearances.

❥ i honestly thought it was an amazing closing for evajacks. there was absolutely nothing missing for me (mainly because of one of the epilogues), and i'm very grateful to stephanie!

some of my analyzes that were accurate: (im so happy about it)

❥ jacks says that since the day at his church he couldn't take his eyes off her. since that day he had to convince himself that she was just a tool. since that day, he started to care. i always said that since ouabh he cared, but i didn't even imagine that it would be from the literal beginning and i loved that.

❥ eva says that the first time jacks betrayed her trust, she felt her heart break. she says that she had been in love with him ever since, so, again, i was right when i said that the two of them fell in love right from the start.

points that I found strange:

❥ where is luc? didn't he even think about visiting eva? i understand that there wasn't time for him in the book, but i would have liked to have seen him.

❥ where is marisol? (do i really care? no)

❥ kisses! i would have liked a more descriptive kiss, but what we had was incredible and cute and really suited the context and i wouldn't trade it for anything. i just wanted others.

i give the book 5 stars and i'm very happy because my favorite couple had a worthy, brilliant and wonderful closure! i don't know what i'm going to do with my life now and what i'm going to think about.

Once Upon a Happily Ever After

Pairing: Evajacks ofc :3

Genre: fluff

Word Count: 1.2k

Warnings: nada

Summary: Evangline wakes up alone in the library, so she goes on a hunt for Jacks and a particular Baby Fox.

Evangeline could hear the distant ticking of the clock as she shifted in her chair, causing it to sway a bit.  The last thing she remembered was sitting down to read, but she’d apparently fallen asleep, and she wasn’t sure how much time had passed now.  Her book was no longer in her hand or even in her lap, and a soft blanket had been draped over her.  Jacks’s doing, no doubt.

She pushed herself up slowly, causing the chair to swing even more.  Jacks had revealed himself to be a bit of a carpenter three winters before when he’d built it, attaching it to the ceiling of their library in such a way that it was almost a swing.  The chair more resembled the shape of a bowl than it did that of a swing, though, so Evangeline had never been quite sure what to call it.

Their daughter had started referring to it as the swingy seat, and Jacks had been quick to follow, agreeing that yes, the swingy seat was a perfect name.

Evangeline wondered where the two of them were now.

Once she’d managed to climb out of the chair, she tossed the blanket over it and padded down the steps.  The tavern was empty save for a few hungry guests, and Jacks was not in their room.  The only other place they could be was the garden.

Evangeline snagged her robe from the bedroom before finding her way back downstairs.  While spring had recently arrived, the cold air had still been biting occasionally, and today was one of those days.  She stepped out into the garden, her bare feet sinking into the cold dirt.  It took her a moment of scanning the garden to spot the two of them, but they were indeed out here.

Jacks was knelt in the dirt with Liana on his lap, his nimble fingers weaving flowers through her pink-streaked blond hair.  She was grinning and kicking her legs as she babbled to him, the dimple in her left cheek making its appearance every so often.

Evangline simply stood there and watched them for a second, enjoying the sight of her two favorite people.  Liana was most resemblant of Jacks, though her eye color was beginning to more resemble Evangeline’s gray than Jacks’s blue, and there was the occasional strand of pink that ran through her hair.  She’d only gotten one of Jacks’s dimples, but it was good enough for Evangeline.  Either way, their tiny girl was adorable.

“Mama!” Liana squeaked as she finally noticed Evangeline.  Her legs paused her swinging and she shifted to climb off Jacks’s lap, but his voice made her pause.

“Just a moment, Baby Fox, I’m almost done.”

Her lips jutted into a pout momentarily, reminding Evangeline of every time Jacks had pouted at her.  Liana resembled Jacks so much sometimes that it was almost uncanny.

Jacks’s fingers dropped from her hair a moment later after securing her braid.  He wrapped his hands around her waist and lifted her off his lap, setting her on her feet.

“Ok, there you go, Baby Fox.”

The tiny girl patted her hands over the flowers on her head, effectively smashing a few of them just a smidge, and then she leaned forward and pressed a kiss to Jacks’s cheek.

“T’ank you, Daddy!” she squeaked before turning back around and tripping across the dirt to Evangeline.

Evangeline scooped up the tiny girl as soon as she was close enough, settling her on her hip.

“Missed you, Mama,” she frowned.

Evangeline laughed. “Were you not having fun with Daddy?”

A brilliant grin appeared on Liana’s face then. “Was having fun with Daddy!”

Jacks strode across the garden towards them, hands in his pockets.  He tugged on the sash that was keeping her robe together, pulling her closer to him and wrapping his arm around her waist.

“How was your nap?”

She smiled up at him. “It was very good.  The blanket was your doing, I assume?”

He quirked an eyebrow. “I have no idea what you’re talking about.”

“Daddyyy,” Liana drew out. “Lying is bad!”

Evangeline smiled, nudging her husband in the ribs. “You heard your daughter.  What kind of role model are you being?”

“Not a very good one, apparently,” he replied, leaning down close to Liana. “I thought we agreed the blanket was a secret,” he muttered, poking her armpit.

She giggled and wiggled away from him. “Daddy, no pokes!”

“No poking, huh?” he asked before leaning down and nibbling softly on her shoulder, eliciting even more giggles from her.

“I thought I was the only person you were allowed to bite,” Evangline commented teasingly.

“I never said that,” Jacks intoned dryly. “I said I was the only person who could bite you.”

His fingers toyed with her sash almost absent-mindedly as he waited for her response, but it never came.  She simply smiled at him.  It took him a moment, but he smiled back, his dimples making their appearance.  She stood on her toes and planted a kiss to one of them.

“You’re cute.”

He made a noise somewhat similar to a grumble, and Liana giggled again.

“Let’s head inside, Little Fox.”

That evening was as lively as most evenings in The Hollow were.  Dinner in the tavern usually contained multiple guests, and many of them had traveled to meet the Prince of Hearts and his princess.  The Knightlingers had made Jacks and Evangeline into a fairytale that crossed borders, though the way the tale had been spun was far more outrageous than even the truth of it had been.

Evangline had become accustomed to picking bits of their story to tell, though she often left out the majority of it, leaving the rest of the holes to be filled by the gossip sheets.

After dinner, the tavern cleared out and Liana was drooping, very quickly beginning to fall asleep.  Jacks scooped her up easily and rested her against his chest.

“Is it bedtime?” he asked.

She shook her head. “Time for stories.”

He smiled and tilted his head towards Evangeline. “Story time?”

That had always been code for heading up to the library, and Jacks carried Liana easily up to the top floor, Evangeline following with a candle in hand.

“What should we read tonight?” Jacks asked once they were in the library, though he already knew the answer to that question.

“Read about Archer and Fox,” Liana responded with a giggle.

He let out a dramatic sigh. “I suppose we can do that.”

He pulled the well-read ballad off the bookshelf and handed Liana to Evangeline, trading her for the candle which he set on the table beside the reading chair.  He lowered himself into the chair next, anchoring it by putting his foot on the ground.

Evangline joined him in the chair a moment later, settling herself across his lap and letting Liana get comfortable snuggled between them.  Jacks took his foot off the ground and let them sway slightly as he leaned back and opened the book.  He cleared his throat.

“Once upon a time….”

A/N: This is my first time posting book fic so please don't bite me 😖 I might switch up the formatting later but this is how I used to do fics on my main so…

Perhaps I will make a master list soon

Daily evajacks quotes part 60

"Her eyes closed, and her breath went shallow. She shouldn’t think about Jacks’s lips on hers. And yet she couldn’t help but wonder if maybe she could kiss Jacks here, in the Hollow, in the one place curses couldn’t touch them. The idea was painfully tempting. But even if Jacks’s kiss couldn’t kill her here, that didn’t mean it wouldn’t ruin her in other ways."
