series finale is crazy. we never understand why charlie had that prophetic dream in the prologue, why she was having dreams of aurelia/divine beast and the first emperor, AND CONFIRMING THAT HER AND DERMOT HAVE MUTUAL FEELINGS. chat i’m so heated right now, this is time i’m never getting back. i knew I should have stopped reading when she kept bringing up the former FL and how she was going to step aside for dermot’s happiness, when dermot is so clearly in love with charlie
i caught up and im just thinking about the rabbit scene again where michel missed shooting the rabbit in the head and ain(who we all know is fuckass ian) goes on about how michel could just raise it back to health, nurture it, and how he would have a pet. whereas michel finds this pitiful to have put the rabbit in the position in the first place, and kills it.
all this to say, ain/ian (in my opinion at this point in the story) sees michel as the rabbit; injured (a fallen noble with nowhere to run) prey, and wants to keep him as his pet (guess that’s why its called the taming lmao), like he didn’t even want michel to go outside during the month he was in villa. i wonder how the story is going to play out from this point
i just started reading this and they keep bringing up how she’s a child bride the plot will get really good and i’ll forget about it but then it always go back to how she was a “young girl” and he was an “old man”; idk if i can get past it like they literally showed their wedding day and she looks like she’s 8 and he looks 20
biting my nails cause there is so much tension between maxi and riftan. is he distancing himself because he’s scared of losing her for real? is he regretting marrying her because he feels like he’s putting her in danger?
also, the way everyone is acting around maxi too is stressing me out, what happened to her on that mountain top? (lowkey, i feel like she misscarried or something cause of everyone’s reaction to her) everyone is happy she helped save them all, but what they’re thinking in their heads is like, “wow good luck girl” (ex: ulyseon and idsilla as the told her bye) WHAT DOES IT MEAN Y’ALL











thalia ate gareth’s ass up saying how he wants her mom, it was too good. the dynamics between thalia, gareth, and ayla are chef’s kiss.
ayla lives in thalia’s head rent free because of the relationship she thinks ayla and varcas/barkas whatever the fuck his name is have, gareth being easily provoked by thalia by her just being there, and ayla who kind of treats thalia as not even there and tries to ‘act’ like a “good” sister to thalia, oooo it is too good
