throne of glass edition are you a fae or witch person…..are you a mistward or red desert keep person…..are you an abraxos or fleetfoot person…..are you a wind-cleaver or goldryn person……are you a lemon tart or chocolate cake person…..are you a yulemas or beltane person……

Her grandmother bared her rusted teeth. “She’s mine.” She jerked her chin at Manon. “We do this the ancient way.” Manon’s stomach roiled, but she sheathed her sword. A flick of her wrists had her nails out, and a snap of her jaw had her teeth descending. “Let’s see how good you are, Wing Leader,” her grandmother hissed, and attacked. - Empire of Storms.
Ok but I actually imagined "yellow legs" as having weird chicken legs or something for the longest time.
triple goddess: maiden, goddess, and crone
desert fey aesthetic
only spotted in the early hours after a rare rainfall, with skin the colour of the dust they lay in and eyes the gold of sunlight. elusive creatures who watch lonesome travellers and decide if they shall make safe passage across the desert, or if they will join the dust they walk on.
Sorscha was a Witch - I know we already think that.
But I found some Scent stuff that might be interesting....
Manon of the Blueblood heir = “Manon was watching the tunnel entrance when she smelled the myrrh and rosemary scent of the blueblood heir beside her.” HOFp178
Dorian on Sorscha = “Looking at her, breathing in her rosemary and mint scent” HOFp419
Now it could just be because she is a healer and she uses these herbs but its still an interesting link to Sorscha having some sort of witch descent.
she is N1 badass female for me, love this character so much lol

We will probably see one of our beloved Blackbeaks Yield in the final ToG novel.

GO SIT IN A CORNER AND THINK ABOUT YOUR WORDS
You should be punished for doing that!
Would be best if it was that bitch Iskra Yellowlegs. That way there would at least be some use of her worthless life. And sacrifice is an honorable death

So I've been thinking on the Cochran witch thing. And her family hails from fenharrow. In so many fantasy books I have read witches live in "the fens" or swampy areas. Is this a reference to these books or is there some link back to this in fokelore that I'm just unaware of? Thought I'd throw this your way because your good at sorting through this stuff. Also have you finished tod? Don't want to spoil you if your just on tumblr as well as reading it. :)
HI! Sorry. My inbox is a literal maze. You sent this forever ago and I just kept forgetting to respond! And I’m honestly not familiar with “the fens.” But I’ll tag @sarahviehmann because she would know. I haven’t read a lot of witch centered or related stories recently. Tho I do feel like this is ringing a bell in my brain from an old British story about a knight (which does NOT narrow it down 😂). I’m blanking on the name and the author. Lol. And it this is actually a thing then I think it’s just one more piece of evidence we could add to the growing list of “Where in the world are the Crochan witches hiding?”
Haha it's all good - I forgot I sent that. 😂😂😂
