Fourth Wing bonus content: Sgaeyl teasing Xaden, ch14 & 27

“…What you should be asking is if Sgaeyl saw it, too."

"You did not just bring me into this nonsense."

"You sure as hell dragged me into it. Since when do you get all mushy over smaller dragons?"

"Since when do you get emotional over human women?" Sgaeyl challenges.

"I'm pissed, not emotional," I correct her.

Fourth Wing, page 512

"This is cruel, even for you," Sgaeyl notes with a hint of amusement.

"It's unfortunate that it hurts her, but she's going to have to toughen up to survive our partnership, and Aetos can't be anywhere around us."

"Oh, so we're not discussing that you were already moving when Tairn landed?" she fires back. "That had he not arrived, you'd be guilty of the very thing the colonel's offspring accuses you of doing?"

"I moved on instinct to protect—"

"Let's not embarrass each other by letting you finish that sentence."

I fucking hate when she does that. She's the only being on the Continent with a sharper tongue than mine. Well. Violence might give her a run for her money.

Fourth Wing, page 513

…anger highlighting the blue in [Violet’s] eyes as she rips her gaze from mine, focusing on the movement of the riot as they land.

What in Dunne's name is wrong with me that I'm noticing shit like that?

"Now who's getting mushy?" Sgaeyl asks.

"Attracted and mushy aren't the same thing."

Fourth Wing, page 515

“…Tairn thinks you'll play bodyguard.” [Violet] snorts. “Little does he know just how much you dislike me.”

"He knows exactly how much you dislike her and how often you stare—”

“I will volunteer for every cold-weather mission in existence if you—”

"Rude. As if your inability to control your own hormones should result in my discomfort." She mentally shudders. Ruthless and vicious as my girl might be, she draws the line at the cold unless we're flying for Aretia.

Fourth Wing, page 516

"She's two years vour junior and in your chain of command." Sgaeyl feigns outrage.

"And you're fifty years younger than Tairn. Your point?"

Fourth Wing, page 516

I pin my feet to the field with shadows to keep from marching over there and feeding Aetos my fist. How fucking dare he kiss the mouth he wouldn't bend a rule to protect, when I would—

"Yes, what would you do?" Sgaeyl asks

Fuck me. What wouldn't I do?

Fourth Wing, page 518

I need to stay as far away from her as possible.

"But you won't," Sgaeyl predicts, and I'd be tempted to raise my middle finger if I didn't think she'd bite the damned thing off as a reminder that she can.

Fourth Wing, page 518

new addition! from xaden’s pov of chapter 27:

“‘Where's Violet now?’” she mocks. “‘What is she doing? Is she thinking of me? Is she missing me? is she getting closer to Aetos? Does she dream ahout that kiss? How many days until Violet’s—’”

“Point fucking taken.” She’s going to be unbearable on the fight home.

Fourth Wing, page 506(?)

I'll always be very normal about this shot

[theotherpacman]

not all ships are For wanting them to be in a happy healthy relationship together. sometimes shipping two characters means you want them to be erotically obsessed with each other and become entwined in a mutually toxic love affair for a few months and then horrifically break each other's hearts and never speak again. sometimes you want them to be codependent best friends with enough repression to explode a submarine who only make out/have sex when they're at their worst. sometimes you want them to pine after each other for years, never say anything, and then die. sometimes you want them to kill each other. this, too, is shipping

[cubezart]

ship dynamic i really like

[habken]

People don’t understand the concept of liking two characters’ relationship in multiple contexts. They can be lovers in one setting and just friends in another, their dynamic doesn’t have to be consistent in every piece of art I make.

[aromanticduck]

There's wholesome ships and there's toxic ships, but I'd like to coin 'sodium chloride ships', where the individuals involved are both horrible and dangerous people, but somehow being together renders them surprisingly well-adjusted (if a little salty).

[tiredandoptimistic]

Nothing hits like "romantic couple and a third guy who's not dating either of them but is definitely a part of this dynamic"

[lorddoom01]

Saw someone mention the new Boston Dynamics' robot was introduced like a Souls boss. Was not expecting it to come out so creepy.

[nosongunsung11]

collection of posts for a very specific dynamic

[esmeraldablazingsky]

honestly i have to kinda disagree with that post thats like “being knightcore doesnt mean pro monarchy just swear ur undying loyalty to ur bff or ur crush or smth”

no. thats not what makes it sexy. either grapple with your beloved master’s role as a symbol of the state or choose to ignore it entirely and remain their loyal hound to whatever end, uncaring of the structures of power which you serve. become naught but a blade, the burden of your choices left to settle in the hand that wields you. it’s not about being besties forever it’s about OWNERSHIP and DUBIOUS MORALITY and FRANKLY QUESTIONABLE POWER DIFFERENTIALS

he’s asking for more cuddles

[whywontvulcanseatreplicatormeat]

Just made myself so so sad thinking about Aang's marble trick because from a physics perspective, keeping dense spherical objects afloat on an airstream is not trivial, and he's doing it in a tiny little space without moving his hands. Bending is usually very gestural. So. Everyone in the era of the show is, at best, impressed THAT it is airbending. But Aang's an incredibly young master airbender. He wouldn't be acting like this was the bestest trick ever if it didn't take at least some skill; he's a goofy kid but he's also a prodigy. I bet other airbenders were absolutely blown away (pun fully intended) at the level of precision and force and minimalism of movement on display and now there's no one who understands at all why he expects accolades.
