GUYS OH MY GOD
Xaden fills the doorway like some kind of dark, avenging angel, the messenger of the queen of the gods. He’s fully dressed, his face a mask of veritable rage as shadows curl from the walls on either side of him, hanging in midair.
when xaden comes to save violet from the unbonded, he's described as "the messenger of the queen of the gods".
(...) a woman with a full pack, whose high cheekbones and oval face remind me of renderings of Amari, the queen of the gods.
in rhiannon's description, we learn that the queen of the gods is called amari.
Her eyes widen as her gaze sweeps over the town, each structure with its identical green roofs, then pauses on the Temple of Amari, which was the most noted landmark besides our library.
in xaden's pov, when violet wakes up after brennan mends her, she instantly guesses she's in aretia because she sees amari's temple.
xaden is from aretia.
which is known for the temple of amari, the queen of the gods.
and he's been going to aretia to deliver news from basgiath for the rebellion, as well as help rebuild it.
he's quite literally the messenger of the queen of the gods.
wow.

Jason:
Jason: oh my god i forgot about that
I’m crying, this is so... just... dios mio i don’t have the words.
We’ve all seen that Gothel makes Rapunzel come to her for hugs, but today I realized it goes deeper than that. Gothel doesn’t want Rapunzel showing physical affection unless she has been given specific permission. Opening her arms is that unspoken permission.
For example, towards the beginning, when she’s reminding Gothel that it’s her birthday tomorrow, she grabs her arm in exuberance. Gothel is put out and then pries Rapunzel’s hands off her arm, all the while pretending she doesn’t remember (or care) that her birthday - something Rapunzel is extremely excited about - is fast approaching.
She also uses Rapunzel’s need for physical affection, deliberately taunting and “teaching” her with it by pretending to offer it, then taking it away immediately.
The first bazzilionty times I saw this movie, I always assumed Rapunzel was relieved to see Gothel towards the end of Mother Knows Best just because she was scared.
But now I realize it’s not only because she’s scared, but because Gothel is now giving Rapunzel permission to seek the creature comfort of physical contact that she so desperately needs after the gamut of fear she’s run.
Eugene, on the other hand, starts showing physical affection as soon as he starts feeling any affection for Rapunzel at all. He uses it as a comfort. Yet Rapunzel keeps her hands to herself.
It continues when he gives her the little flag, touching the small of her back in an affectionate way. But her hands (and attention) are full at this moment.
In fact, the first time she realizes she’s touching him, and he’s touching her, and there’s affection and enjoyment buzzing between them, she’s the first to pull away.
She’s alarmed at first, then apologetic and sheepish. Sorry I was touching you, Eugene. And he politely takes a step back, tuned in to her discomfort and giving her a little more space.
But that is why the moment on the boat is so important, and why Rapunzel has the reaction she does.
In taking Rapunzel’s hand, out of the blue (as far as she can tell), it’s sending her a clear message that he feels the same about her that she does about him, and that physical affection is both alright and wanted. That he will seek out her attention in a way Gothel never has. And from this moment on, she touches him often, holding hands for the rest of the song, brushing his hair from his face as he lay dying, and never letting go of his head, even after he’d died in her arms. Not to mention kissing him when he lives again, holding hands on the balcony while they wait for her parents and end-of-movie smooching.
Dude I had a train of thought while I was at work that was cracking me up. FYI iron flame spoilers.
So Tyrrendor had its own king before the unification right and now it has a duke ruling over the province. And technically that duke is Xaden, or at least he's next in line. So when the third kingdom/country/whatever shows up and they play a critical part in defeating the venin at the end of the series, this third party sees the shit Navarre has put Tyrrendor through and announces that should Tyrrendor choose to secede they will formally recognize the new tyrrish king. And Xaden not wanting to be king starts to protest but before he can Garrick cuts in with something like "your majesty" because unflappable, unmoveable, unyielding Xaden Riorson is for once distinctly out of his league. Not to mention Garrick knows his friend would be a great king. And Xaden looks at his friend with just the utmost betrayal because how could he. And it's like
Unnamed foreign dignitary: we will recognize the new tyrrish king
Xaden: no thats not....
Garrick (grinning while lowering into a over exaggerated bow): your majesty
Xaden: stop
Bohdi (also bowing) your highness
Xaden: why are you doing this to me
Garrick: well you've already been filling the role just figured you should get the perks that come with the title.
Xaden: what perks? Bickering with council members?
Garrick: who are you bickering with we're in a time of peace?
Violet: me were gonna argue about what color drapes to hang in the throne room.
Xaden: black end of discussion
Garrick: so you accept?
Xaden (grinning his own wicked grin): i will make you my right hand and drag you into every council meeting for the rest of our lives
Garrick (grimacing): shouldn't that be Bodhi's job?
Bodhi: nope all you
Garrick: what about violet?
Violet: what about me?
Xaden: oh yes, you're coming too.... my queen *pauses* ok maybe I can get used to that
Then it would get more serious about how yes he would be an excellent king and all that he's given of himself for his people. Which of course ends with bowing/kneeling before him
And even though I think that if Tyrrendor seceded they would become a democracy, this was cracking me up for hours
Reblog if you would take a bullet for Christopher Lightwood, Jesse Blackthorn, Lucie Herondale, Kamala Joshi, Alastair Carstairs and Church the Cat even tho he’s supposedly not in TLH
Jason: *walks into living room and pauses, looking at tim* uh Tim: *frowns as he looks up from a book* what? Jason: um. Tim: dude. Spit it out. Jason: *still staring* you like that book? Tim: yeah I’m really loving it! It’s a new bestseller, Steph recommended it. It’s a fun fantasy. ‘S got dragons and the romance is nice and Jane Austen-esque. You should read it, it’s right up your alley. Jason: uh. Okay. I’ll, uh, look into it. And, uh, what about the author? Know anything about them? Tim: *frowns* aside from the fact that there’s like, no information about them, no Jason: *chuckles nervously* ah, yeah. Haha.
Jason, later to his editor: hey can we change my pseudonym? I wanna use “Todd Peter” and see how long it takes for my brother to yell at me editor: Jason that’s not how pseudonyms work

Yes just yes
alright, this one is for sweet, sweet anoni!! I tried to draw them with actual human heads, but it looked way too cursed ajskdhjaksh
Also, I tried to do a kinda-rhyme with ‘chicken little’ and ‘chicken gwilym’ but it’s dawning on me now that they might just sound similar from my messed up non-native perspective. Oh well.
I hope you liked it!!
love the empyrean series, ACOTAR, TSC, Mauraders ect.
