thinking about how jest was unable to stay put because he knew cath would be in danger despite knowing that following her would lead to his tragic fate and how orpheus turns back to look at eurydice in every retelling because he loved her

How little stuff there is about Marissa Meyer books saddens me, I have no one to geek to about them. Then there's the other part of me that wants to gatekeep them.

-jest
[pt: -jest /end pt]
The -jest suffix is a suffix that can be used for any part of identity as long as the intention is "because/when it's funny", "as a joke", etc. It can be used as a modifier for already existing labels or on its own as long as its for the sillies
Ex.
Chronojest(link), when one's age changes based on whatever is funniest. Girljest, when you only identify as a girl when it would be funny.
Flag stuff, symbol and disclaimer under the cut
[id: the first flag is a grayscale flag with 7 horizontal zig-zagging stripes. the outside stripes are the darkest, with them getting lighter towards the center. in the middle is a grey and white jester symbol with a two-toned hat ended in bells along with a frilly collar with bells at the end as well. there is white confetti in the background. /end id]
[id: the second flag is the same as first but without confetti /end id]
[id: the third flag is the same as second but with wavy stripes instead of zigzag /end id]
[id: the fourth flag is the same as third but with confetti /end id]
Flag base

“A heart, once stolen, can never be taken back”
Jest and Catherine inspired by Marissa Meyer’s Heartless🖤
this book man this book 🙇🏻‍♀️
Never thought I’d ever be sympathising for the Queen of Hearts and yet here we are… painting an extra squishy happy scene hoping to fill up the void this book left.

Impossibilities
Heartless, Cath and Alice, post-book by however long until Alice is in Wonderland. She's acting as a maid for some reason... Idk either. It's Cath reminiscing about Jest.
"It is impossible." Alice whispered, the delicate flower crumpled in her palm and she reeled back as the heavy stench of blood hit her... Right into the Queen's skirt.
"Your-" Alice tried for a curtsy. "Your Majesty, I'm afraid-"
The Queen waved her hand impatiently. "I am in no mood to hear your pitiful try of an excuse just..." She trailed off, deflating. The Queen gazed at the flowers with an expression Alice may have mistaken for mourning if she hadn't known the woman in question. "Just... Bring the tea, dear." She said at last.
Alice nodded and hurried off, far too quick to be proper but the thought scarcely crossed the young girl's mind. "And-" The Queen's voice hasn't regained it's regal quality just yet. "I once knew a man who spoke of impossibility as a challenge to be conquered." She laughed, a brittle sound. Such was unknown to Alice. Something in the Queen's voice changed when she spoke again. There was, if Alice wasn't mistaken, hope laced in with the stubborn bitterness years on the throne had left her with. "Impossibility was his speciality."
Alice froze in the doorway. "He sounds spectacular."
The Queen briefly touched her fingers to her lips, smiling fondly. Alice caught the moment in the vanity's reflection, but suspected it was not for her eyes to witness.
"He was." The Queen whispered. "Dear Hearts, he was."

I was thinking about Heartless yesterday, and about the “get Cath to Chess so she can lead the white queendom to victory” plot line that’s later in the book. Obviously this never happened and the sister’s prophecy of the monarch, the martyr, the murderer, and the mad came to pass. However I was wondering what would’ve happened if they had been successful in getting to Chess.
The audience knows that the land of Chess is locked in an eternal game of chess (or at least, they should, after consideration), but the citizens don’t. They don’t understand why after any sort of checkmate, the game resets, cause they don’t understand that they’re just pieces on a chess board. Jest himself even says that he and Raven are rooks—chess pieces.
Now, knowing that, why would bringing Cath into this change anything? Even if she were able to achieve the rank of queen, there’s no guarantee that the game wouldn’t reset upon a checkmate. Even her being from Hearts doesn’t save her from that fate; we know Hatta was originally from Hearts and he became a pawn (literally) in the White Queendom.
It seems like Cath was doomed no matter which kingdom she stayed in. Staying in Hearts leads to the sisters’ prophecy, and going to Chess means a never-ending fight until they die.

Jest and Catherine King and Queen of Hearts
Ending in which the King of Hearts dies at the claws of the Jabberwock shortly after marrying Catherine leaving her to rule Hearts and defeat the Jabberwock alongside Jest.
As for Jest he gets married to Catherine a while after she defeats the Jabberwock, making him the King of Hearts.
He doesn't die or go back to Chess. (It's complicated if I explain)

“The easiest way to steal something, is for it to be given willingly.”
This book left me in tears. Currently thinking of my own alternative ending 👀
Marissa Meyer, Heartless.
