( Warning, It's Been A Hot Minute Since I've Read The Books So Correct Me If I'm Misremembering Anything)

Im glad LOL confrimed Freak4Freak in Timebomb. Jinx really did rip that man pants and wear them as leg warmer. Like damn girl- we get it he is your man.

An fuckin Ekko everyone looking at him yet the only eyes he has for is Jinx INSANE EKKO INSANE!!

Couldnt date either of them- I would crash out.

Stealing your boyfriend’s sweater but you have an intense passion for multicolored pyrotechnics…

If they don't end up together or at least make up, I am gonna turn into the next Silco (I'm just gonna cry like a goofball)

ekko and jinx's first season 2 interaction leaked

break time!

For the timebomb nation I have timebomb birds :)

I kept saying war paint. But it is, of course to begin, the paint from when they played together.

So, her putting her stripes back on does not only mean accepting Powder, it means accepting the person involved in the memories.

Ekko: *reading a book*

Ekko: "Ehh, I hate the enemies to lovers trope. It's annoying fr"

Jinx: "..."

Jinx: *sweating* "You sure?"

lots of ppl have mixed opinions on cardan in the first book, which is fair, but me personally, just LOOK at how subtle he is at protecting her. and i don’t just mean when he stuck his foot in the water to scare the nixies away from jude when his buds threw her and Taryn in the river, i mean these:

This one, when he thinks that dains spies are about to beat Jude’s ass over who gets the pretty prince, so he cautions her away from picking a fight w them. And that’s AFTER she’s kidnapped him LOOLLL

And this. really cute and subtle way of saying “be careful babe!” but he makes it seem sorta like an insult. like she would be wasting his time if she went and died. he keeps himself so well guarded so as to not get himself hurt again PLS. guys i am normal about him.

him reaching for her after he learned that valerian tried to kill her AGAIN. 😐 i need him.

And then this one. imagine how he felt seeing her leave the tower covered in blood knowing that valerian was in there w her. and Hollys annotation here. yeah ok im so normal- this proves that he didn’t expect his cruelty to encourage valerians murdery lust for jude. to encourage Locke to take her as his prize, to encourage nicasia to humiliate the twins to get cardans and lockes favor.

AND DONT GET ME STARTED, on when he’s drunk and his families been murdered and he’s officially elfhames #1 most wanted and he’s telling Jude to be careful, that she shouldn’t be at balekins evil little revel 😭😭 he worried more for her than he did himself.

and i could just GO ON. and i shall:

when he sends her a dress made for royalty opposed to one that made her look more like servant/ would allow Taryn to outshine her (she could never tho)

When he told Locke to piss off and began dancing w her when Locke was abt to tell her that he’s been fuxking her sis the whole time.

When he saw her (canon according to Hollys annotations) after she stole Sophie (the human servant at hollow hall) and didn’t do or say anything AND PROBABLY EVEN TOOK THE FUCKING BLAMMMEEE IM SO SICK.

anyway I’m sure there’s more so feel free to add on 😭

But i just LOVE how cardan knows how jude is, the way that Taryn describes jude in her novella- as someone who doesn’t back down from a dare, who picks fights with anyone and everyone, who brings those that pick on her down to her level. he knows his wife so well, even in the first book, he knew her so much better than even her father. than ANYONE even Taryn. bc Taryn was all like “promise you’ll stop bothering them!” Like do you KNOW who you’re talking to lmao

anyway I LOVE TYEMEMEMMEMEHSIAPS someone sedate me fr

She's just marking her territory at this point tbh😭

I love this editing

Ekko and his “sailors” about to be wrecked by Jinx’s whirlpool, represented by her spinning gun.
