I’m still not over the fact that Xaden abandoned all his intentions of just repressing the crap out of his feelings, flew to Montserrat, and immediately started flirting with Violet just because he didn’t see her for a couple of days and was worried she was getting close to another man, who she’d been nothing but distant towards for weeks.

He is SO dramatic I can’t even 😭

So I keep thinking about this, and today it suddenly dawned on me: of course he doesn’t know how to be chill about this. Violet is the first new person he’s loved since he met his closest friends in childhood. She’s the first person he’s started caring about since he lost every adult who mattered in his world as a teenager. She’s his first love, and how many of us are chill about our first loves *without* such a background of loss? Of course he’s not rational about losing her. He knows what loss is and he can’t bear going through it again.

…wait until he’s a new dad, he’s going to be fucking terrifying.

I think something that makes Violet and Xaden such a good couple is how completely deranged they are for each other. They have reached a level of down bad I just have not seen from another book couple in a while.

“He fell harder” is fun, but what about “he fell first, she threw herself over the edge after him”?

The extremes Violet and Xaden have shown they are willing to go for one another is what I love so much about them and their dynamic:

Xaden burst into her room and killed everyone threatening her without a second thought. Violet walked the Parapet in a dress just to talk to him. Xaden risked the secret about the rebellion and Aretia in order to save Violet’s life. Twice. Violet allowed herself to be tortured for five days to protect his secret. Both of them left their assigned posts to fly across the kingdom to get to the other. Violet was willing to die if it gave Xaden a chance to live. Xaden turned venin so Violet would survive.

they’re so insane for each other I just adore them

#the empyrean#ok but the significance of Violet walking the parapet to be with him isn’t talked about enough#i mean she almost DIED the first time and now to do it WILLINGLY??#for no reason other that to speak to Xaden??#insane behaviour from her and I love it#but also to conquer her fears in that way is so important#seriously if you don’t think Violet deserves Xaden you can FUCK RIGHT OFF#xaden riorson#fourth wing#iron flame#violet sorrengail#my posts

Violet Sorrengail and her failed dreams to be a Scribe

We should acknowledge the fact that the goddess mentioned above made numerous sacrifices even before she got to know about everything.

It is no joke when you work hard every single day of your life, hoping to achieve your dreams, and when they are this 🤏 close to you, they're taken away.

Even worse: that was the dream of that one parent who cared for you (atleast from Violet's perspective). That is what that parent spent the last fews years of his life to do. To make sure you excelled in whatever you did.

That requires a whole lot of strength and maturity. That is something we need to focus on more.

It's no wonder why Violet is insecure.

Yes, she is a lightning weilder. But could she control her own powers? No.

Yes, she is hella smart. But 99% of the knowledge she possessed, was it accurate? No.

Yes, she is the kindest person you can find in the Rider's Quadrant. But did that make people think twice before betraying her? No.

People who call her whiny need to wear her shoes before judging her.

Violet Sorrengail's will and integrity > anyone else in FW (and a heck of a lot better than most people irl tbh)

I think people underestimate how hard it must have been for Violet to leave the path as a scribe. Just imagine—you’d trained most of your life for something, something you naturally excelled at, something people around you knew you’d succeed at, all for it to be taken away from you. Violet had no control over being put in the rider’s quadrant—a path she saw as a death sentence.

I also do not understand how it is “whiny” to have insecurities, or to want your SO to tell the truth, or to withhold your trust from someone who (in light of the circumstances at the time) had not earned it.

#it’s giving double standards tbh#what do you mean you instantly forgave Xaden but call Violet whiny?????#he wanted her to trust him again even though he did fuck all to earn her trust back#violet sorrengail#the empyrean#iron flame#fourth wing#violet sorrengail defender for life

I felt so seen when I first started reading about Violet but I was also afraid that once she got her powers or her dragon that her disability would be magically "fixed" like it so often is in media. But no, she trains and she gets stronger and she gets accommodations!! And she doesn't get shamed for any of it.

I was so happy to see her disability translated to a fantasy world and just left to exist. She's disabled and chronically ill and she's strong and badass and she's kind and smart.

Of course people had to go and ruin it, like they always do. So here's a little PSA:

Receiving reasonable accommodations because your body is built differently does not mean you're getting everything handed to you, it does not mean you're at an advantage, it does not mean you didn't earn it. If a person is already at a disadvantage due to disability then accommodations are not advantages, they're an attempt at leveling the playing field. And they usually still don't even put you at quite the same level as everyone else, even with accommodations disabled people still struggle and we see that with Violet.

Anyway, Violet is not weak. She is not undeserving. She did not deserve to die. She is not useless.

I’ve been watching loads of those “ballroom hair” videos recently where they slick everything back with like a shit ton of hairspray, and I just like the idea that in Navarre doing your hair like this is known as “parapet hair” and it’s like an actual hairstyle that people do.

Ironically, riders are the only ones you would never catch doing their hair like this, because between all the flight manoeuvres and narrowly avoiding death by Ninja Warrior Course, they do not have the time for all that shit.

“Violet is a truth-sayer because Xaden can’t lie to her”

Yeah, whatever. Xaden has lied to her. When he told her he had no intention of falling for her over and over again. When he said she was the last person he’d want bonded to him. When he said he was perfectly in control of his emotions around her. Call them exaggerations if you like, but technically they are lies.

“Well the signet hadn’t manifested yet” Ok, well tell me why Xaden saying “I can’t lie to her” in the Fourth Wing bonus chapter is apparently foreshadowing, then? Why can the evidence suit your theory, but not my counterargument?

Don’t even get me started on the constant lying by omission. Not telling her about the venin or his second signet or the deal with her mother. He didn’t lie, but he also did not tell her the truth. The signet is called ‘truth-sayer’, not ‘lie-preventer’.

If you couldn’t tell, I am not a fan of the truth-sayer theory.

#*insert clip of me lip syncing to Please Please Please here*#“I beg you don’t embarrass me motherfucker” after I’ve made all these posts about how there’s no way Violet’s a truth sayer#I am one step away from writing a 3 page essay about why I think this theory is wrong#the empyrean#fourth wing#xaden riorson#violet sorrengail#onyx storm theory#onyx storm#my posts

I’m sorry, there are people who think there’s going to be a LOVE TRIANGLE with Xaden and Violet in Onyx Storm???

After: “I love you. I’m in love with you. I have been since the night the snow fell in your hair and you kissed me for the first time. I’m grateful my life is tied to yours because it means I won’t have to face a day without you in it.”

And after: “How dare she come after what’s mine. He isn’t a crown. He isn’t a tool to elevate her standing. He’s everything.”

And after: “All I want is you! If she dies, then I’ll take the consequences. If they can’t channel, I’ll take those consequences, too. But not you. Never you.”

You actually think someone is coming in between that?? lol, okay.

Sometimes I think I’m being over-dramatic, but then I remember when Xaden flew halfway across the kingdom because he didn’t see his crush for a few days and was worried she was getting close to another guy.

Xaden is hilariously dramatic sometimes, I mean have you seen the way he enters rooms? In Fourth Wing, bursting into Violet’s bedroom with shadows whipping around for literally no other reason than dramatic effect. Iconic behaviour imo
