      @@momomomo__​​⁠REAL. If the book were from her pov I think she’d have less haters. She’s just as afraid as Jude is, Jude turns her fear into anger, but Taryn’s fear is disguised as acceptance. Jude acts as though Taryn is bowing down to the fae willingly, but there just isn’t any other path for her. They both have their flaws.

    Vivi is an underrated character as far as I’m concerned. Gotta give her credit for sticking to her word, and I find the unconditional love for her siblings very endearing. It exists between Jude and Taryn also, and it always comes back around, which I appreciate, but not the same. Vivi would never do the things that Taryn does.

    • @idkpaigely
      @idkpaigely  6 місяців тому +83

      totally agree that there's not enough Vivi love out there, and I definitely love her as much as the twins and Oak, but I do think they all have their faults. Like Vivi wouldn't have done what Taryn did, but I think the way she treats Heather in the Wicked King is pretty infuriating. Nobody's perfect but they are all awesome ❤️❤️❤️

      @milenamatvejeva9846 3 місяці тому +1

      Yeah its very sibling coded! This video and maybe even book doesnt set the stage for what their treatment as twins looks like - they couldve been treated as if one person, like they had no indiciduality, or on the opposite end one got favourited over the other. That definitely could end up in resentment, and acting out like this. Also, theyre 17. On the higher end of appropriate behaviour but tbh theyre still teenagers

  • @Elizabeth-hc3mi
    @Elizabeth-hc3mi 2 місяці тому +49

    Got to love how toxic almost everyone of Jude's relationships are. Her foster father killed her real family. Her sister has betrayed her several times. Her husband harassed her all of her childhood, then she kidnapped him, then forced him to be king, then he got exiled by him. Her step-mom doesn't like her. She's separates her brother from his mother and pressures him into being king.
    I swear, Vivi might be her only unproblematic relationship.

    My thoughts on Taryn, the stealing of the fabric was foreshadowing showing that Taryn would be comfortable with taking something from Jude, like perhaps a boyfriend. While it may not have been malicious, it showed that Taryn didn't value Judes feelings more than her own, or even the same amount as her own.

    Darn... every time I see these videos I go "Oh something new! Great, I'll just watch this so I don't have to buy anything." Then before I get 10 minutes in, I have to watch/read and divulge into an unhinged obsession with every medium this universe is shown in and then move on to the next...an unhinged loop.

    Wow okay, its the way my ADHD doesn’t even allow me to sit through 3 min TikTok video’s without 2x speed and I watched this video on normal speed and wanted more when it was over. It’s like when I’m on ft with my bestie at 2am when shes explaining the lore of her day, I was giggling and kicking my feet along with you. Thank you for putting in the work you did for this video, I hope you will make similar videos for the rest of the books in the series🫶🏼

    About Taryn stealing Jude's fabric - in that moment, i thought of it more like her calling dibs. Jude was just looking at the fabric, no? She didn't say anything yet out loud. I feel like this is real sibling moment. Not something i would be mad about.
