Plot twist after plot twist. Honestly I don’t know WHAT IS GOING ON BUT THE LORE TO RIVENS PAST IS INSANE AND THE ENTIRE LORE OF THE PLAYERS, SIL, AND RIVENS SUPPOSED “FATHER” LIKE BRO WHAT ALSO WHEN WILL RIVEN EVER MAKE UP HER MIND?? LIKE DO YOU WANT TO SAVE JUDE OR NOT? DOES JUDE STILL LIKE RIVEN AFTER EVERYTHING? BECAUSE WHAT THE HECK GUYS! Honestly either way I know it’s gonna end bad and I’m scared.

Oh. My. Gosh. MY PREDICTIONS WERE SO WRONG! Instead of acting like they kiss we get an angry argument between Jude and Riven and omg they KISS literally JUDE! OMG HIS WORDS UGH! ALSO Is he okay? What’s happening to him?? I’m scared. Anyway the way he came to rescue Riven, cut off Dorians ear, turn into him, then tell Eneli to kneel toward Riven, ugh. THE STITCH SCENE! THE VILLAIN ARC! RIVEN IS A BADDIE. PERIOD

PREDICTIONS:
1. Riven will take Jude to the North/her brother and then they will try to torture Jude like they did last time to other three Players, BUT Riven will see this and be like don’t hurt him or like don’t touch him OR STAND IN FRONT OF HIM AND SHIELD HIM!!
2. Jude will learn Rivens real name
3. Idk hopefully a kiss scene or atleast a really like intense tension between the two characters

Also I forgot to mention that Jude my lovely Jude IS THE ONE WHO “POISONED” RIVEN BUT HE CLAIMS HE DIDNT I DONT THINK HE DID BUT RIVEN DOES AND IM GOING BALLISTIC! ALSO RIVEN CUT JUDE THE SCAR ON HIS RIGHT PALM IS FROM RIVEN! LIKE WHAT? Also mind you Jude is shirtless in this scene and it makes me giggle because it flusters Riven. ANYWAYS BACK TO DISCOVERY, WHAT THE HECK DUDE! Lowkey I’m not loving Galen.

Can we just let it sink in that first of all Jude is amazing and his so like ugh idk just baddie and gonna say it, hot. Lit he WANTS like y’all we know he wants Riven like bro us NOT hiding it, I mean maybe a little cuz he got to be nonchalant but otherwise he is like I was forced to tell her that we are to be married, and LIT TOUCHES HER AND SHE LOW-KEY LIKES IT AND FORGETS SHE HATES BEING TOUCHED! LOVE LOVE LOVE

WHAT THE HECK?!! FIRST OF ALL HUH? SECOND OF ALL YESSS!!! I’ve been DYING FOR RIVEN TO AT LEAST QUESTION HERSELF OF WANTING/LIKING JUDE!! BUT THEN FREAKING GENE HUNT HAS TO COME ALONG AND WANT TO KILL JUDE! FOR BETRAYING HER? I THINK? Idk. Anyways the jealousy from Riven omg I was giggling. And the FINGER TOUCH IN THE GREENHOUSE SCENE UGH! ALSO A ROUND OF APPLAUSE FOR THE INTERMISSION AND STRUCTURE OF THIS BOOK!!

Ok! So uhm a lot has happened..mark is removed from Riven and Jude is low-key being a flirt like omggg the way he practically pinned Riven to the bookshelf like ugh bro let that happen to me..
PREDICTIONS: Riven and Jude will kiss most likely from doing a performance on stage or something like that you know like a tragedy or forbidden romance stuff
