ACTFL QUOTES!MINOR SPOILERS!
I asked some of my Goodreads friends,who read ACTFL,to share some quotes from the book.One quote is a little bit spoilery,but i will put it at the end of the post,if you do not want to read it.Here are the quotes:
"You are not in danger.I'm here because a friend of ours needs help- your help.He's about to make a horrible decision and you need to change his mind before it's too late to save him."
"-I would have thought you like bad ideas.
-Only when they're mine."
"But soon there was more light than dark.A world of bright as if the sky and the ground has switched places and now Earth was covered in shimmering stars."
"It's my fault.It's too late now."
”But just because he was all she had didn't mean that she needed to give him all the power. "
”Evangeline spun to the side and slapped him hard across the face. The sound of her hand hitting his cheek echoed through the inn, loud, cracking, and satistying."
“"Please, Little Fox, remember."
"Her hope might have been powerful, but it wasn't magic. It wasn't enough.“
"I just forgot to breathe."
"We can go wherever you want, little fox."
" "I know I seem naive," Evangeline pressed on. "I know my faith in love might appear foolish. I also know it might not be enough. But I'm not doing this because I believe I'll win. I'm actually a little afraid I'm going to lose. I no longer think love is a guarantee of victory or of happily ever after. But I think it's a reason to fight for those things." "
"It was only a flash—but her cheeks felt flushed.Apollo smiled, clearly thinking he was the reason."
MINOR SPOILERS!
"She was safe in her bed. She'd be even safer when he left her. But he was too selfish to leave just yet."
"She was better off not knowing him. But he was enough of a bastard to hate that she’d forgotten."
"He wanted her to look at him, just once, and know him the way she had before."
"I lied," he said. "I do wish that we could have had a different ending."
"And she wanted nothing more than for him to stay."
"He'd said he wished their story could have had a different ending, as if they'd already reached the final page.But Evangeline wanted more pages"
"Bastard. Murderer. Monster.I hate you, Evangeline wanted to say."
SPOILERS!
"She was choosing Jacks.She was choosing wrong."
"But maybe the reason for the warning about falling in love with Fates wasn't because loving a Fate could never work, but because it was so much harder. Nearly impossible."
Yes ,i am a monster.I enjoy hurting people.I like blood.I like pain.I am a monster,but wether you remember it or not,i'm your monster."

“Now I need some of your blood.” His voice was so gentle, made of gentle, the same way his blood had been made of everything he was feeling. Scarlett had never felt so close to another person. She knew she would give him what he asked for-whatever he asked for-that she would eagerly let him drink a part of her the way she had him.
“Julian,” she said in a whisper, as if anything louder would destroy the delicacy of the moment, “why are you doing this?” His amber-flecked eyes met hers, and something in them made her breathing hitch.
“I’d think the answer was obvious.”

i hate it when people talk about tella (or tella and legend) like it's something that still bothers jacks.
for those who haven't read caraval, jacks didn't care. he started to treat tella with a minimum of dignity after thinking that she was his true love, not because he got attached to her. it wasn't him having fallen in love with the person donatella dragna, fighting for her in a dignified and fair way, it was him trying to achieve something imposed on him by a curse. imposed on him.
in these books jacks manipulates tella more than once. he uses the tella's grief to trick her into marrying him, and also tricks her into taking full control of her emotions. in fact, he had developed a mad obsession with her for everything she meant to him, and fulfilled his role as an antagonist, as a villain, in legendary and finale. and this is clearly not genuine love. it is not love.
was he sad about being rejected? yes, after all, he lost something he spent his life looking for because of his own actions. he was taught to want to seek the end of his suffering, the true love, his whole life. how could he not feel bad about that?
but the key words are: he was taught to want to find a person, this person was imposed on him and as it is the only thing that can be his salvation, he wants it back. he doesnt want the person donatella dragna. he has only been conditioned to want what has been imposed on him because he thinks he has no other choice. stop including tella as something that shakes him emotionally beyond his curse.
contrary to his whole journey with eva, to all the feeling he created for her even though he knew he couldn't, that he would never have her. for all the genuine care he has for her, the will to keep her safe and unharmed, to save her even at the cost of his happiness. this is love, this is love for the person evangeline fox. there is nothing else that motivates his actions than love

Just thinking about how every time Jacks’ heartbeat was mentioned in Caraval with Tella, it was always “slower than a normal heartbeat” or “sluggish”, but whenever it’s mentioned in Ballad with Evangeline (which is CONSTANTLY), it’s always racing or pounding.

This moment is making me cry. I can't help but think of how Jacks must be feeling. For the second time in his long life Jacks thinks he has found happiness and love. The first time was the morning after he married Donatella. Who sneaked out on him, which he did not expect. We know that that is the morning he met Evangeline. We know he was a mess (probably) because she left. And now he convinced Evangeline to stay the night, but when he woke up she was gone. Only that she wasn't. She was downstairs having breakfast. THE RELIEF! THE PROMISE THAT HE WOULDN'T LET HER DO IT SO EASILY TOMORROW!!! it breaks my heart. We all wish they stayed at The Hollow.

The theory that Jacks eats apples when he feels like kissing someone is actually such a good theory and it puts into perspective a lot of his actions throughout both Finale and OUABH.
One that stands out is in Finale when Jacks enters Tella’s dream and tempts her to bite his apple. Apart from the very intriguing allusion to eve and the snake, this moment finally starts to make sense to me with the knowledge that apples in the north supposedly taste like true love.
When Jacks tries to get Tella to bite the apple, it’s him trying to convince her that they’re made for each other (or that she belongs to him). If she had bitten into the apple and tasted Jacks, we’d know for sure that they were each others true love. But she didn’t, and we’ll never find out what true love tastes like for her (probably Legend).
BUT, we know that when Eva bit the apple in OUABH, she definitely tasted Jacks!!!!!!! 🍎💘🏹 Further proof that they’re endgame.

Made some big changes to Dragna's design. A LOT closer to the vibe I want her to give off. She specializes in swashbuckling and brawling

will always defend my girls who are powerful and strong not despite their femininity but because of it.

warning tbona spoilers incoming !!!!
💗💕💞💖💕 appreciation post to stephanie garber for writing fmcs that can truly embrace their femininity without ever feeling ashamed, that her girls can wear the prettiest dresses in the world and have the most courageous kind souls but would fight to the death for those they loved.
appreciation for her fmcs that aren’t perfect, that are absolutely flawed in unique ways but grow over the course of the books, that openly LOVE love! that love isn’t frowned upon, that it plays such a vital part at the core of her stories. the fmcs fight for love and for the people they care about. they make messy messy choices but they learn.
they have different dreams, different hea endings!! and i love how thats narratively absolutely okay !!!! how each girl’s happily ever after is unique to them and appreciated and validated !!! scarlett always wanted her kingdom and she found her perfect flirty prince in the end like she wanted !!! tella wanted the adventures, to always see the world and have her right hand man right there to experience that with her and she got it !!! eva wanted her true love, she wanted to be someone’s everything, to have a love powerful enough to break curses and she deserves that, she has it she found someone who reversed time FOR her !!!
but what i’m saying is: every girl’s dreams and hopes and happily ever afters are different but that doesn’t make one superior to the others. their femininity isn’t seen as a bad thing, their kindness or selflessness or feeling such a wide range of emotions from rage to fear to heartbreak/sadness isn’t seen as weak. its so refreshing to see books like this. i’m a hopelessly romantic girl so to see that makes me so feel understood, so represented and inspired !! it makes me feel hopeful personally. anyways, stan stephanie !!! stan her fmcs !!! 💘💕💞💗💕
#i just needed to get this out#eva scarlett and tella were such beloveds girlies idc#i adore her books sm they’re so beloved and precious to me !!!#caraval#legendary#finale#ouabh#tbona#acftl#stephanie garber#evangeline fox#scarlett dragna#tella dragna
