di Abigail ChandosFourth Wing Chapter 17 - Part 2
We jump back into Chapter 17 with Violet's very first flight lesson! Can she stay on her dragon? Stay tuned to find out! (Spoiler alert......... no). Join us as we discuss Ridoc giving the quadrant their morning announcements, headcannon the existence of gender fluid dragons, and have a conversation about theology (are the gods real? Are they dragons?!). As an added bonus, Jon gets to go into deep conspiracy mode with his theory connecting gods, dragon breeds, and signets! Side note: editing Abby here to apologize for the voice overs in this episode - I am so sick and barely have any voice!

Fourth Wing Chapter 17 - Part 1
After quite the hiatus from your favorite Fourth Wing podcast, we are back with a renewed attempt at consistent episode posting! We jump back in the morning after Threshing with our cast of fresh riders (some of whom have also been freshly ridden). At breakfast, Violet will be faced with hostile little incel bitch-boys and some new allies. Join us as we discuss the tamperability of oranges, hear Cassie's Emma-esque retelling of a Violet and Rhiannon conversation, and get waaaaaaaaay off track talking about checks notes Draco and Apple fanfiction?

We're back, baby, and WE'VE MISSED YOU!! Maybe one day we can be fancy podcast professionals and get paid to do this, but in the meantime it is a labor of love and sometimes life has to come first <3 We meet back up with Violet as she holds her breath to see if her double bond will be allowed, has several life-altering realizations, and locks lips with the boy she thought she wanted immediately after being told she's stuck with the one she absolutely does not want. Join us as we discuss the totally shocking revelation that Xaden actually doesn't want Violet dead, breakdown the disappointment that is Dain, and dance to the Dragon Customer Service hold music - trust me, it's a bop.

Fourth Wing Chapter 12 - Part 1
Uh-oh! We chatted for too long again and recorded way too much for Chapter 12, so y'all are getting another two-parter! It's time for Presentation! Join us as we discuss the similarities between dragons and cats, whether shoulder spikes are the Navarrian equivalent to shoulder pads, and just barely get started on the squad's casual stroll down Dragon Lane.

It is time.... for The Final Gauntlet! Will Violet be able to pass the final two obstacles, or will she - as Imogen puts it - fall short? Join us as we discuss whether the gods are real or not, preemptively cry over Liam, and speculate the fate of those who are disqualified from TFG (hint: they don't survive).

It's chapter 10, and that means it's time for NAVARRIAN NINJA WARRIOR!! Wait, sorry, my notes actually say The Gauntlet. Huh. Must be a typo. Join us as we try to make sense of this obstacle course from hell, and give Tynan tips on how to be a better bully before ripping the little incel bitch boy to shreds. Plus, our favorite shadow daddy makes an appearance at the end of the chapter to get our girl Vi all riled up - we love to see it.
