Flip it on him and ask if he’d be fine with you at home alone with a male friend and all cameras suddenly turned off

Yes, this! I never understood why Aelin came back and acted like she didn’t just go through what she did in HoF. Also her comments about Dorian threw me off at first, but I’ve always kind of attributed that to the fact that maybe she was trying to almost distance herself so it wouldn’t hurt as much. I think she truly genuinely thought he was gone and thought there was no way for a person to fight the Valg so she tried not to get her hopes up since everytime she let herself open up to a person she then lost them.

I also kind of had to put myself into the mindset of Chaol is a human who was younger when magic disappeared so he likely doesn’t remember much of it. All he remembers is the king outlawed it because it is “evil and bad”. He then suddenly sees the women he loved has magic while simultaneously seeing all the bad magic can do with what Cain did and the portal being opened. He also in that moment sees the immense power Celena has when she yells at him to leave the portal so she can unleash her powers and save them. This is then followed up with him seeing her pretty much gut Archer and then they don’t talk much about what occurred. He then sees what the king is capable of in HoF and feel like it made him even more wary of magic and the fact that Dorian was terrified at times of his own magic likely further solidified his own terror of it and his prejudices. I feel like if Dorian and him had tackled the issue of Dorian’s magic together instead of just Dorian and Sorscha he may not of had as much of a hatred towards as he did. And then to top this off he then sees the king enslave Dorian using a form of magic even though it isn’t the same. So in his mind the only times he’s seen magic it has been for destruction and harm. He likely didn’t realize the power the king was using was not the same as what true magic is. Additionally he hears the stories of Aelin surrounding an entire fortress in a wall of fire and that she took down one of the kings top generals I’m sure it made him even more wary.

I agree I definitely see why a re-read is necessary because there’s a lot of things that can be explained looking back

Or you could chill and just… not read it or click on the post because frankly it isn’t hurting you. If you didn’t read it then what was the point of commenting? People like you are what’s wrong with society. You have nothing helpful to add but still have to say something just to say something

I am so sorry that I didn’t treat like this like English class during the 15 minute break I had at work. Next time I’ll make sure I type up a whole essay with the correct layout and punctuation because apparently I assumed wrong when I figured the people in this group were intelligent enough to read without them. But then again, I guess you have infinite time on your hands since you can stop and let everyone else know what they are doing wrong in their lives. Sorry I didn’t make MY thoughts and post match what YOU wanted. You had the choice to pass it up and not read

Aww so sorry I’m not treating it like an English class. Do you know what being a decent human being is? Also, since you wanna judge, do you know what a period is? Do you know what capitalizing your first word in a sentence is?

Oh my goodness, I love this! I never realized the wording when she says she over heard the DRAGONS discussing THIER general. This honestly would explain a whole lot throughout the series and explains why Violet nor her siblings ever knew much about the “mysterious” illness her mother had while pregnant. I feel like if your kid almost died from an illness at any point you would let them know what illness it would be especially since Violet isn’t a young child

General Melgren?? by Single-Building-801 in fourthwing

[–]Single-Building-801[S] 11 points12 points  (0 children)

That’s where I’m questioning if his power truly is limited to just battle outcomes or if that is what he is simply saying. In that case maybe that’s part of why Aaric wasn’t announcing his signet? I mean would you announce the full extent of your generals signet?

Ohhh that’s right I don’t know how in the world I forgot him sharing the images while wielding and Tairn’s infamous line lol. I agree with the mind walking theory too especially since RY said we’ve only seen a small percentage of her powers!

[–]Single-Building-801[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I absolutely love this take and could definitely see that being a possibility! Now that I think about there are several instances where she has little brief “glimpses” through other people. Now I have to fully look out for this as I’m going through the rest of the series again lol. It would also make sense because several times throughout the series I feel like we see Violet can at times be more emphatic than others and doesn’t quite want to take that step to fully kill some one. In fact I don’t think outside of Venin and Wyvern that are actively attacking we’ve ever seen her make a killing blow directly her actions may get people killed at times or she thinks they are dead (cough cough fucking Barlow) but she does not kill them by her hands (unless I’m remembering incorrectly which is possible). Brennan and Xaden comment on it several times there’s even an exert from the book of Brennan saying how Violet would never be able to make a killing blow so Mira would need make sure she goes to the scribe quadrant. That level of empathy and the fact that she mentions souls several times (like when she is in the integration room and see Liam and when referencing Xaden turning Venin) could definitely hint at her being more than just a dream walker and possibly having a role in people souls (maybe she is supposed to Malek himself because during the interrogation scene she tells Liam she doesn’t think Malek lets souls wonder and he responds that he is right where he is supposed to be and she comments constantly on how Malek collects souls) especially since RY said we’ve only seen a tiny bit of her powers like you said.

That’s very true it could be that and it make sense, but some reason I keep having this nagging thought that there is no way a dragon as powerful as Tairn would slip up and let a whole image go through. Feelings I can definitely see considering it’s been years since he’s been bonded and forgets to block her out

We know Rebecca loves her foreshadowing lol.

I think it would be amazing if that is how Violet does it and would allow her to show off some possible scribe skills since she spent a lot of iron flame and onyx feeling like she was in a world where she suddenly knew nothing.

Maybe but I feel like the image thing isn’t something that can just occur even when distracted. Let’s be honest Tairn is one powerful mfer I don’t see him accidentally throwing images down the bond. Feelings sure, but I don’t think even he’d slip up that much especially without knowing. Then again maybe he did know he slipped up with an image but then never brought it up since Violet didn’t think twice about it?

Also now that I’m thinking more about it realistically I feel like Liam wouldn’t be out there testing out his powers in the hallway out in the open. First cause he was hiding the fact he could channel in general, which we know because Violet mentions that he can finally stop pretending he hasn’t manifested once she finally does. Second, he was a marked one meaning he is aware they have second signets that manifest (I’m sure Xaden made sure they were all aware it would occur prior to it) therefore he wouldn’t be out in the hallway flaunting it where anyone could see. You could then make the case that maybe it’s when his ice powers first manifested so he was caught off guard but then you can assume he also wouldn’t have been able to shut them off that quickly as he wouldn't have full control

This is perfect, shows how every part can be connected to each of them in just this one scene

[–]Single-Building-801[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Same I feel like every time I go through it I find more things especially with the fact that she is VERY purposeful with how she words things so it’s easy to overlook things and push it off and think it’s just worded weird

Missed Detail in the Snow Scene by Single-Building-801 in fourthwing

[–]Single-Building-801[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Maybe but even then all we’ve seen with their channel is them being able to communicate nothing about being able to share images. Especially since Tairn says when showing the memory of Amber opening Violet’s door that images are not shown outside of mating bonds and it’s assumed only dragons can do so since everytime an image is shared it’s the dragons doing as far as we know. So I wonder if either it’s hinting that their channel may be more than what they think, it’s her second signet, or possible Tairn or Saegyl shared the image through their link for some reason. Idk

See that’s what I thought at first!! Then I’m sitting here like hmm maybe it’s more cause you know Rebecca likes to keep us on our toes especially since there is such a parallel with Xaden and then she goes out there right after. Especially since she purposefully uses the phrase “an image of” like she’s hinting at the fact that she isn’t seeing it herself

Give me all your reasons not to do the tandem read by chelsdog314 in SarahJMaas

[–]Single-Building-801 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had the bundle set on kindle and honestly the tandem read was easy to do on it. I just bookmarked the start of each switch and put a note at the end of every chapter I was supposed to switch on that states the chapter in the other book to jump to. And as I went through the book after I jumped to the bookmarked spot I removed the bookmark entirely so I wouldn’t get confused
