idk, upon rereading truthwitch, i wonder if safi and merik actually aren't going to be endgame like i'd originally assumed. like, when iseult is thinking about the heart-threads, it's always in a potentiality -- like they are forming, but not formed. they could be heart-threads. but they were parted, and life goes on. there was a possibility there, but it fizzled out with time and distance.

idk if safi is going to end up with anyone at all, tbh, and at this point, i don't think i really want her to. maybe it ends with her and merik re-introducing themselves to each other, to see if there could be something there, after the events of the story? or maybe it ends with her and caden reaching out to each other now that the hell-bards are free? (i do believe that caden is either in love with safi or on his way to it, and i'm on the fence as to whether or not he'll survive the finale.) or just with safi finally free to choose her own fate, no longer someone else's pawn or ace up their sleeve.

i'm not of the opinion that safi and/or iseult will die -- i don't feel like this is the kind of story where one of them die, and i don't feel like aeduan will, either. i definitely think aeduan and iseult have suffered enough and it would be a betrayal of the narrative to kill either of them when they're finally starting to come to peace and find love. if one of the main four is going to die, i think it will be merik, in killing the fury -- he and kullen, thread-brothers to the end.

idk, truthwitch set up safi/merik but the rest of the series kinda dropped it, and i'm not sure that wasn't intentional. like, it's one of those almosts, you know? the guy you met over the summer, felt a connection to, had a few deep conversations with over a case of beer in front of a fire pit, imagined that he might be the one for you... but then the semester started up and you went back to college and lost contact with him, and... that was that.

i just don't see it actually happening anymore, at least before the end of the story. it's an almost. a could-have-been. at best, the ending may give them a chance to start again, but i just don't think they're the same people anymore. what they had was ended by circumstance and they've spent three books (well. two, for merik) changing and growing totally apart from one another. i don't think they're incompatible now, i still think they could connect with each other, but the connection that they had formed was between two people that they aren't anymore. they'd have to start over.

idk, i just really like safi/merik as a whirlwind could-have-been romance that got torn apart before it could become something that would have survived the distance.

Found out today Robbie Daymond (Fennorian’s voice actor) voiced for at least a few other characters in the game. An Imperial called Dirge Truptor on Zaji’s ship in Southern Elsweyr and two Khajiit in Southern Elsweyr: Safik in South guard Ruins and Korabi; who is in the Thieves guild in Senchal.

And I didn’t know this right? Which is really funny because every time I interacted with Dirge in game I would think about how I wanted to replay Greymoor for Fenn’s character. I just heard Robbie do a slightly different voice for another character and was like “It’s like I can still hear his voice...”

The witchlands ships and who they could not fool in a fake dating au/who would be like oh fucking finally

Safik: They can’t fool Iseult because she can literally see the pining and it drives her nuts. Kullen calls bs too because he knows Merik too well. They can get around everyone else.

Baesult: Everyone is firmly in the oh fucking finally camp. The pining is obvious and Safi is very happy she won the bet.

Vix: Fucking finally. I refuse to believe that no one knows how Vivia feels about Stix. The palace staff were very excited to see their princess finally have her woman.

Rylen: Merik refuses to believe Kullen actually pulled it together to ask Ryber out. He is happy to be proven wrong when Kullen confesses for real.

V^2: They’re too awkward to make anyone think they worked it out on their own. No one is fooled.

Laden: Fucking finally. Lev and Zander throw a party in celebration.

I think that’s all of the ships. Let me know if I forgot any!

All the Witchlands couples hit different when you remember Susan Dennard ships Zutara, too 😍😍

Oh it absolutely does--that was honestly one of the selling points of the series by the friend who got me into these books. "The author ships zutara and it shows!!!" and also "Enemies to lovers where they actually try to kill each other!!!" and I was like oh I have to get my hand on these lmfao

What I really love about the main relationships (I am not perceiving any possibility that my ships are not endgame here cough cough) is that there's this duality between them--Safi and Iseult are foils and in that same vein I think Merik and Aeduan are also foils, and their relationships also mirror each other. There's this duality that is a recurring thread (hah, thread) throughout these books, because there have at least been hints that Safi and Iseult are the Cahr Awen, and even if all is not as it seems -stares hard at susan dennard ma'am plEASE- they are still very much two halves of one whole, but they also fit with Merik and Aeduan respectively in very different ways. But what gets me is that I see elements of zutara's essence in both of their relationships.

Safi and Merik have their fire and their passion--they have this fantastic banter and instant connection (which may have been rather grudging at first, but Truthwitch only spanned a few weeks at most, their kiss stole my breath away and I've been aching for them to reunite through TWO BOOKS AND THEIR BRIEF MOMENT IN BLOODWITCH DETROYED ME PLEASE LET THEM MEET BACK UP AGAIN IN WITCHSHADOW I AM BEGGING) and an energy that just draws you in. On the other hand, Iseult and Aeduan have the full enemies to lovers dynamic and I think they are more on the deep intensity side. They get what is so delicious about zutara's potential for a slow burn, feelings buried deep down and growing against all odds when they are trapped together by circumstance and wind up seeing each other in an entirely new (and decidedly inconvenient) light, and Iseult being like from the moment I stabbed this man in the heart, his heart belonged to me and I'll be damned if it stops beating without my fucking permission when she saved his life and saw their heart-thread form like....

Between Safik and Iseduan I have been well fucking fed, now if only they could all be together and nOT SEPARATED FOR ANOTHER ENTIRE BOOK PLEASE LORDT I AM SUFFERING

'Cause I don't know how it gets better than this

You take my hand and drag me head first

Fearless

And I don't know why

But with you I'd dance in a storm

In my best dress

Fearless

The witchlands ships and moments you want to happen with them

Safik - a reunion

Baeseult - a sweet scene that doesn't come with really high stakes

Vix - a proper conversation about their feelings

Rylen - getting to see each other again and know they're safe

Saden - a moment for them to be honest with each other and sort out whatever confusion they may have

V² (I'm stealing that ship name from D) - a sweet sscene that doesn't come with really high stakes (I'm stealing that answer from Baeseult)

What are the most chaotic headcanons you have for the existing ships?

Safik: For their dates they terrorize the population. In a modern au they just hangout and throw rocks at cars. Merik didn't like it at first but then he watched Safi break Corlant's window and it awakened something in him.

Baesult: They got into a fight with a librarian and have been banned from their local library. They refuse to tell anyone what happened.

Rylen (is this their ship name? I don't know): Kullen takes up knitting and becomes obsessed. He knits Ryber the ugliest sweaters imaginable. The Rook gets one too because Kullen is convinced he is their angry bird son. Ryber tries to get revenge by making him a pair of knitted pants that clash horribly by he wears them everywhere.

What happens to "enemies next to lovers"?!? I don't want to criticize but in today's YA books the "enemies" part is cut off entirely. She thinks he is the most handsome man since the.first.time.she.saw.him. And he wants her from the moment he lays eyes on her?!? And I ask what's going on? I don't see at what point in the book they are enemies. And the fact that I read the same male main character in every YA book, I don't think to comment on it at all.

But, look, Susan Dennard is the Queen of ,,enemies to lovers". Safiand Merick had a fight the first time they met and continued to fight for quite a long time before they decided they liked each other. Aeduan and Iseult....well Aeduan tried to kill her and Iseult's first words to Aeduan are something like beheading him. In both couples, sympathy emerges with difficulty slowly, and during that time at least there is chemistry.

This is how enemies become lovers.

Without stereotypes and clichés.

Safi: I will fight the world for you

Merik: But you keep fighting me?

Safi, smiling sweetly: Because you're my world

[eilonwiiy]

Each leap backward of her body — a movement like the tidal tug of the sea against the river — led to a violent slam as Merik snatched her back against him. For each leap and slam, the girl added in an extra flourishing beat with her heels. Another challenge that Merik had never seen, yet rose to, rose above. Wind crashed around them like a growing hurricane, and he and this girl were at its eye.

Hiiii oh my god you've read it!!! The conversation surrounding Witchshadow is honestly so exhausting emotionally for me because I feel as if I need to justify both liking the series despite it and liking some elements of the book to myself. I'm definitely of those holding out for the last book (and shamelessly seeing nuance that isn't there in the threadsisters thing—totally could just be a way to say best friend (it isn't)) but it's interesting to see your thoughts and I'm glad you're back!

-@un-empressed

heyyy!! yes, finally after like seven years, i read (reread) the whole series including witchshadow. i completely understand where you're coming from, bc ive avoided reading the book for so long because of the same thing. and even now, i feel like this emotional ping ponging between loving so many elements of this series and feeling let down by witchshadow? the witchlands was such a special series for me, with it starting off this tumblr account itself and encouraging me to start my ao3, and making so many mutuals and friends on here, and idk witchshadow really kinda soured it for me.

i'm still going to support susan though, bc from what i understand there were a lot of publisher/editor/industry issues, and i still love the series for what it was. i hope that the book was just a dip, and that the rest of the series wraps up well!! maybe i can start writing for safik/baesult again (and fix up my old fics bc jesus christ)

#its so good to see you tho!! #i see you occasionally across my dash but it really has been a while #the witchlands #user: sxfik #witchshadow #susan dennard

The Witchhlands and what's in their Spotify playlist (my own opinion) PART 1

Iseult : The Civil War, Cigarettes After Sex, sød ven, Lana Del Rey, Arctic Monkeys and Hamilton

Safiya: The Killers, 5sos, The 1975, Taylor Swift, Trevor Daniel

Aeduan: probably cinematic soundtracks, Arctic Monkeys, Tommee Profitt and NF

Merik: melancholic orchestral music (and Shawn Mendes but that's a secret playlist, don't tell anyone)

Cam: Blanco Brown, Kehlani, Cardi B, Halsey and Fall Out Boy

Vivia: Evanescence, The Killers, My Chemical Romance, Black Veil Brides

Leopold: Classical music, Light orchestral, Jonas Brothers and Drake

Vaness: doesn't really listen to music but Cigarettes After Sex.

This is only my own personal thoughts. So feel free to add or disagree. Lol.
