Sex, Death, and Dragons

Thirsty 4 disDAIN (Special Episode!!!)

How many times did we shit on Dain this season? A lot. In this episode we take a dose of our own medicine and ask: what is going on here? What parts of ourselves are we disavowing that are coming out in our STRONG disavowal of Dain? Join us as we look at why it's so hard for us to take Dain seriously, what he has to teach us, and attempt to reclaim our inner Dain. Let's ride :)

Thirsty 4 DRAMA (Episode 12)

It’s time to look back on the ENTIRE book of Fourth Wing and tap into our collective thirst. This week we are thirsty for that thing that threads through Xaden and Violet’s relationship, the vibes with the dragons, the dynamic with Dain, Liam’s death, the way that Mira looks in her leathers - it’s DRAMA.  Today’s episode is a little different because we’re looking back on the entire book (and even a TINY bit of book 2 - so spoiler warning) and getting a little caught in the drama ourselves. Join us as we: * Do a 30 second recap of the book through the lenses of Sex, Death, AND Dragons (let us know which one is best) * Once again shit on Dain (who somehow is both anti-drama and a drama-architect) * Debate whether Xaden and Violet’s messiness is hot or not * Talk about why drama is especially alluring in a time of attention overwhelm  LAST EP OF SEASON ONE (though we DO have a few little special episodes coming your way…). And please rate, review, and subscribe as we continue to build our little community! LET'S RIDE!

Thirsty 4 Burnout (Episode 11)

Y'ALL WE MADE IT TO THE END OF THE BOOK (but NOT the end of the season… stay tuned!!!) This episode covers chapters 37 to the end :’) and my GOD do we wrap Fourth Wing on a cliffhanger. There are so many daggers, so much lightning, lots of lusting and Violet almost dies...so this week we are thirsting for BURNOUT.  We discuss:  * Whether being inside of Xaden’s head is hot or not to us (hint… it’s not) * Notes for Brennan on his big reveal  * The ingredients that make Violet’s burnout particularly alluring (as opposed to JUST the ick) Welcome to the rebellion. Let’s ride :)

Thirsty 4 Loyalty (Episode 10)

It's a tragic week in Fourth-Wing land... We read chapters 33-36 and are thirsty for loyalty amidst the wild backdrop of Violet learning about the rebellion, Liam dying, and...a calf massage? In this week's episode we discuss: * Whether Xaden's calf massage is well timed * What Violet and Xaden are loyal to * Why loyalty feels especially tricky to talk through - and if there's anything for us to look at there (there always is) * How to make sense of competing loyalties amidst the chaos of these chapters It's murky, it's messy, it's full of death. Let's ride ;)

Thirsty 4 Release (Episode 9)

Well y'all, we made it to the spiciest set of chapters in the book. This week, we're reading chapters 29-32 and we are thirsty for RELEASE! In today's episode we: * Quote Mary Oliver (didn't know that would happen when talking about Xaden and Violet absolutely wrecking Violet's room) * Propose an alternate title of the book: wet and confused * Talk about "walls" of all kinds ;) It's a fun one. Can't wait for you to listen. Let's RIDE!
