Sooooooo proud of these girls!!!! Absolutely love their journey! From the moment I found them on TikTok I have been impressed, educated, and opened to soooo many more theories and understandings ❤❤❤❤
Honestly...hearing the opening song and nicole's silent "wow" made me tear up and I don't even know why!
I'm so proud of you guys, I love you and you really feel like my close friends by now🩵🩵
Same🥹
Why am I tearing up at Lexi's "Wow!"? I'm so happy for the both of you!
Why am I emotional?!? I am so happy for you guys 😭 I’ve been listening since the beginning and you both always brighten my day ❤️ so excited for onyx storm!
Wish I could have been there, I hope everyone who went had a good time
In my mind when I first read these two books violet to me is a first aid kit.(Symbolism wise for the Sorrengails).
When you think of first aid kits, they are full of things you need to fix wounds, which is exactly what the Sorrengails are. Wounds no one knows how to fix. The first aid kit will obviously (wanting to help) will bandage up those wounds and all will be well, at first. Then more wounds will start to appear and of course the first aid kit will fix those wounds, but what happens when the first aid kit runs out of things to fix those wounds. At that point wanting is like a need, now it’s not I want to help. It’s a I NEED to help. It will replenish its bag at the cost of its self, but no one will realise since hey the first aid kit is still here, and it doesn’t get noticed when things aren’t in need of fixing. And the pattern continues, over, and over again until the first aid kit breaks.
When I’m basically saying what I’ve seen is that Violet is this to her family, sure they love her and understand her on a physical level. But they don’t understand her on an emotional level, often ignoring her (which we saw in iron flame) until she makes her self known, and from Brennans reaction this isn’t often or even at all. I think that in Onyx Storm we will see the Sorrengails have a fight, as they have just lost their mother and they have no idea how to deal with their grief and that will be the ignition for this much deeper sibling fight which will lead to Violet exploding about just how alone she felt before becoming a rider. How her own siblings ignored her and made her feel like she didn’t fit in with the family. (Ik that was a stretch but when you think about it it’s all there I just read it a bit deeper, but that doesn’t mean they don’t love her. They just don’t understand her).
That theory of Markem (sp) unaliving dad... and him having the research... MAKES SO MUCH SENSE!
Well done ladies!! 🎉❤ awesome live show ❤
You girls did such an amazing job!! Congratulations on the first live show!! I’m sure with many more to come!! & hopefully I’ll be able to get to one of them! 🙊 Thank you for always giving it your all! It shows & we appreciate it & you!! So much!!! 💖
My favorite second signet prediction is the chameleon signet, but in my head it has the copy-paste component integrated into it! 😂
Ok on Nicole’s second signet theory for violet further supporting evidence- we assume in the torture chamber when violet shows dain the memory of athbyne, what if that’s actually HER power and not his allowing her to show him her memories?
I love this
This was incredible! Wish I could have been there, CONGRADULATIONS LADIEs, it's been amazing watching you guys grow as creators!
For the intrinsic theory - in Xadens POV - he is being held up in the air and thinking that his worst nightmare has come true - HIS NIGHTMARE - also the General tells Xaden “you will turn for love” while TARIN and Sagal fight to get to him. Now in Violet’s POV when she dreams about being caught in the air (and can’t get to TARIN) and is told the same thing - what if she’s unconsciously in Xaden’s mind seeing his dream and thinking it was her own, she only has this said dream while sleeping next to Xaden.
Fully convinced she’s an intinsic. Saying she’s someone ‘who needs information to center’ herself is a big indicator. She’s a scribe at heart so another nod to her need for information. She’s heard Xaden’s thought and seen his dreams. The question is what kind of intinsic is she. And I think she may have communicated with dragons or the riders during the war when she was jumping from dragon to dragon.
Rachel for the win! I love that theory !
Aahhhhh, thank you!!!
@@Rachel556611 I literally gasped! I'm living for your theory! 🥰
@@jessicahinds3675 💜💜💜
I think we need to think about what the opposite of lightening/pure power is for her second signet because Andarna keeps saying “nature likes everything in balance”.
Best way to end my work week! Thank you, our two favorite and wonderful women 🎉
oh my, i finally got time to go through this. im making a booklet on dragon kind from the emyrean. i love the idea of the seventh dens hatching grounds to be in the barrens. through my research i find that hatching grounds make sense for the dragon den. so say they were in the barrens it would make sense that their fire roasts venin and that they know the weapon to it as they lived so close to them.
Violet's 2nd Signet Theory: My number 1 is Truth-Sayer. I would think truth-sayer is a varient of being inntinnsic. So it would be a signet that manifests from needing to know information. But more than that, Violet also needs to know what information is factual. She recites FACTS when calming/centering herself, not just random knowledge. And with finding out that a lot of the stuff she knows is either an outright lie or partial truth, I think it will aid in discovering vital information as well as satisfy her scribe mind.
I also think her signet has something to do with light or the Sun will play a role. This is because her first signet isn't just lightning welding. It's "pure power" and that pure power takes the form of lightning when she weilds it. What is another word for power? Energy. What is light? Energy. Aka Light is Pure Power. I think she might find a way to alter the form of said pure power and make it more of a light energy form and then she can find a way to use said light energy to restore the drained lands and purge the venin corruption.
This is a long comment. 😅 I just want to say, I read the books right after they released. I've reread them. And now I am listening to the dramatized audio books. I am a stay-at-home mother of 3, and I found your podcast last week. I have already listened to EVERYTHING Empyrean in your content with my headphones while doing day to day chores and stuff. I am now a member of your patreon, and I am about to start reading ACOTAR so I can enjoy that content as well. I highly recommend the Zodiac Academy series, if you haven't read it. It has Fae, Twin Princesses, fated mates, enemies to lovers, gay couples, and even a thruple. It literally has a bit of everything.
I’m smiling so big rn. So incredibly proud of you guys!
Just watching and a thought came to me about the chapter 22 profile pic. The epigraph could be talking about the first time you feel your dragons power or when you first turn venin.
If you already said this, ignore me! I just feel like a lot of the epigraphs are cryptic and we assume they are related to the coming chapter but I'm convinced more and more that they are Easter eggs for future story and I read them all through that lens now.
Love this podcast series!!
I had this thought too! It could very easily be referring to channeling from the source versus a person's dragon bond because the epigraph itself does not specify. I suppose it's implied to be the latter because of the source, but we really don't know for sure.
I think the cure for Xaden will come from Andarna somehow. Since her fire can kill them, she has some deeper connection. That could be the “second honor” connection, giving venin a second chance at life.
I’m on board with the slowing of time/ super speed theory.
I do think it’s significant that Tairn will “not discuss the one who came before!” He is so upset about Noalin similarly to how Sgaeyl is upset about Xaden going Venin.
The one who came before, not the one who died before. Very intentional wording there!
I love amazing theories about the signets ❤.
I’m convinced second signet is something around information and scribes, because Violet thinks in IF: “Xaden, and the scent of thunderstorms, and books. That’s all I let in as I force my way through the passage.” And in FW in the dream papa Sorrengail says: “Your mother has never understood that while riders may be the weapons of our kingdom, it’s the scribes who have all the real power in this world.”
It’s also worth noting that Violet doesn’t remember names of first years in IF, but she suddenly remembers all of them when she runs to the wardstone in the final battle (after we know Andarna can breathe fire): ““Move!” I shout at Lynx and Baylor. Because I remember their names. Avalynn. Sloane. Aaric. Kai, the flier. I know all the first-years’ names.”
Another idea in this area is: I wonder if her power is like being a super computer - she can recall any information and use it and “compute” the truth at speed (like there is seventh den, while even Tairn doesn’t know) or Xaden’s second signet.
Another random though I had is: What if there is a dragon sickness going around (that’s why Cath breath) and venin is somehow connected to it. And that’s why leadership is trying to mend venin to learn how to protect dragons. This means that Dain is not venin (yet), but maybe if your dragon is infected or you are infected, it’s likely you become venin. And maybe that’s why Aetos worked closely with Varish. Varish is infected and probably venin, influencing Solas and became Dani’s mentor, while Nolon was trying to fix Jack.
I really enjoy your podcasts! 🥰 I think she has a Chameleon signet, where she can use any power that she needs. I wish Rebecca just told us 😂
The thing about the throne scene is that Xaden knows she’s in his head. That doesn’t seem to be the case for other inntinnsic, right?
What if at one point while Lilith was pregnant with Violet she was in a battle and she almost burned out and drew from the source to become venin but couldn’t turn because Violet is immune and she acted like a vaccine for Lilith but it caused her to get ill and then obviously violet’s condition and hair. 😮
On the theory that dragons can break the bond. I think I remember in fourth wing talking about retirement for the dragon riders. I don’t think that the dragons would just stop fighting so I think they have to break to bond for retirement.
Point of clarification, just incase it wasn’t already said, Andarna’s fire cannot kill a venin. She used her fire to distract the venin and then bit their head off.
I commented the daemati theory last week on your vid. 😍
I went back and reviewed all the times Something wrapped around violet's mind. It's xaden and it's described as a shadowy bond that wraps around..
In the throne room scene, There is the 1st mention of Something new-- "Shimmering onyx Wraps around my mind and everything (in italics) Intensifies
This is the only time when shimmering onyx Wraps around Her mind. This intensification supports the Notion that she is pulling from the sun In a way. Maybe she intensive the signets of those around her.
Intensifier
Why do we think Andarna needed a rider with the mind of a scribe? Yes, it makes Violet really cunning but there must've been many cunning riders in those hundreds of years. Why a scribe specifically?
It could be a point towards the theory of her having a relationship with Papa Sorrengail, because they could've had a partnership where they each get something out of their time together. Perhaps Papa Sorrengail got to study feathertails while Andarna got him to try to figure out what happened to her den?
Just thought of this while listening - but did JFB ever manifest his signet before he "died"? I've read both books twice and I don't remember anything being said about Jack's signet.
Support for inntinnsic second signet. Violet is the best in her class at shielding and once she was able to keep them in place all the time she only left a spot open for her connection with Xaden. It would make sense that her signet manifested with the only mind she left herself open to and explains why she didn't hear other people's thoughts because she always kept her shields up. The two bonus Xaden POVs were given because he had his shield up and we wouldn't see his inntinnsic signet at work.
Sooo I am rereading FW and something just jumped out at me at a possible 2nd signet for violet. I don’t know if there is any back up in IR yet but in FW chapter 10 violet mentioned leaning into xaden like she could siphon his strength. And Naolans signet was a siphon as well as a powerful signet. I am still leaning towards inntinsic for violet but knowing Rebecca yarros writing this might be an early hint. And I just needed it throw it out there. Cuz it’s such a small 1 liner I missed it on me 4 other rereads
Okay theory about andarna's dragon clan. If you go to page 40 it talks about two more black dragons were born. But what if those are actually more members of her clan and they've all been waiting for the right time to be born?
I would need to reread because I’m not sure on when/how often it happens- when Violet dreams of the Venin, is she near Xaden? Is she intinsicly dreamwalking? Because we know xaden is having those intense dreams as well from the last chapter, even using the same language- you’ll turn for love.
But I’d need to reread to see if she is around him when she dreams like that.
5 min in and I should wait to comment, but my guess on her second signet still has something to do with time. Or, what if it has to do with healing; then there could be the flashback of the scene where someone she cared about died. Also, she has health issues but preservers. However, now that I hear what they said about needing information, and the scenes of what could happen to some…. Interesting. 🤔 😂💕
Thoughts/theory...and a spoiler......
Is there a connection to the fact that Jack Barlow is a venon and was so hell bent in killing Andarna at Threshing? Seems a little sus.....🤔 I know he hadn't turned at that point but .......
I think she can just run fast. There were a few times when people where catching their breath running behind her. She's been doing a lot of running...and she did say she needs to get faster.
Violet has to be a ward or ward traveler? now and maybe wards don’t just protect but know what’s going on within. Idk. 1. Xaden is always says Violet is his home so now Violet is now his protector from drawing from the source(relationship dynamic switch) 2. The 3 brothers, could be the 3 children now. Healer of ward, ward extender, ward something? 3. If freezing time was a baby power and endarna is purple, the purple chakra is physically thought to be the pineal gland which controls so so so much so what if instead violence can connect mentally to anyone within her ward. 4. I have to relisten, but in the ward scene it didn’t fully feel like other types of almost burning out, what if it was her gaining her signant 5. Violet can feel the powers of the wards so much more than others, why? 6. In violets coming to age story and her obsession with the wards, what if it is foreshadowing of her knowing everything about herself as a ward. Okay have to go reread everything again now, bye.
If papa sorengail had a relationship with Andarna would that mean that Violet bonding her would give her 2 signets from Andarna (since you get a second signet if you are bonded to a family member). Her name means second honor which could mean Andarna will give her 2 signets, in addition to the one she already has from Tairn. Thoughts?
This is one of my little theories. So we know that Violet has these nightmares about the Sage. And we know that Xaden's been having them as well. What if Violet's dreams are actually Xaden's but appearing in her mind through Xaden's pov? This could be a hint at her second signet...
Does that mean that xaden is going to destroy the wards? I swear the sage says in one of violet/xaden’s dreams that she will destroy the wards
I def think Violet or Mira went to grab stuff from their home as Basgiath after Lilith died . Hopefully to get the research! Or something else important
If Tairn dies, does Violet lose her signet from him?
He pulled a spy master and just swapped the covers of the books and so its in the Archives all along!. lol
49:18 based off this question what is violet is a siphon? What if her 2nd signet is a siphon, but that means she can siphon the venin out of xaden?
Who did Andarna hear talking about Violet before she hatched?
Rebecca has not answered yes or no to the question “can a dragon willingly break a bond with their dragon if they are alive?” I believe she said “that’s an interesting question, isn’t it?” So if Tairn willingly broke his bond with naolan because he went venin then they would not all be bonded.
Do you have the source for this?? I would love to read/watch the whole thing!
@@seahmad93 I believe it’s in this interview. ua-cam.com/video/8FrFupBTVgY/v-deo.htmlsi=_jNzqkz5GWA8GiLK
What if papa sorengails research is warded in general sorengails office. And its only accessible to lillith and her childrwn. Hence why mira disappeared at the end of iron flame. She knew about it, knew she needed to get it before leadership burned everything of liliths
Wait, but violet won’t be able to hide her 2nd signet because she has 2 dragons, so she can’t be inntinsic, right?
if Sygale unbonds Xaden then he will lose his signet powers as he no longer is connected to his dragon
"No human has ever been to the vale" but....history can be changed within one generation....so is that true?
I don't believe Tairn will die. I think Xaden will die as a venin and will need his bond with Sgaeyl to remain so he can be resurrected as human. That's how he is cured.
I think Papa Sorengail's research is in Violet's "fairytale" book because THATS not supposed to exist either
I’m not ready to lose xyaden sooo… 🥹🐉😅
I think the cure for Xaden will come from Andarna somehow. Since her fire can kill them, she has some deeper connection. That could be the “second honor” connection, giving venin a second chance at life.
