I love that it shows in-canon that Kallus gets to co-pilot the Ghost with Hera a couple times. He even argues about whether he or Rex should pilot as though he was excited to do so.
But the first few times he was in the ship post-Atollon must have been....an experience.
He's so used to seeing the Ghost from the other side, through the viewport of a star destroyer and through the front of the tiny ship as it swooshes by.
He's studied the layout and engineering manual of this one ship that has caused him so many headaches so often that he should be able to rebuild it from memory.
But there were always things that didnt make sense like, why does it make that sound, why does it seem to jolt slightly when it turns to starboard, and what is that thing he keeps seeing in the cockpit viewport?
And then, oh and then..
He finally gets to inspect the ship from the inside, without threat of being knocked out by a suspiciously quiet lasat. (Hi Zeb)
And wishes he hadn't.
He realizes, to his growing horror, that the ship jolts because half the parts are second, third, even fourth hand, made for models of ships that no longer exist and welded in at odd angles.
The odd THING he always saw through the transparisteel was a chunk of a plastoid armor piece wedged into the stolen acceleration control in order to keep it from falling right out of the console.
And the sound, he sees upon opening an access panel, is one of the engines held in place by a well-packed layer of MILK CARTONS.

Hera: You okay Kal? You've been really quiet.
Kallus: *sheet white and holding co-pilot steering in a death grip*

There was a movie called Nala set in a post-apocalyptic world that was animated similarly to The Ghost and Molly McGee, and it was about toxic positivity, but if I'm remembering correctly was soulless and bad. Also, there was a magic mansion whose rooms and walls were constantly changing for some reason.

thinking about how Jude was betrayed not once, not twice, but thrice in the same book... no wonder she's unhinged.

This one’s my favourite. For obvious reasons 😌
P.S. Just noticed the tiny translucent fairies 🥰

I sort of hate that all the posts about 'The Prisoner's Throne' is about Jurdan. I mean I love them and all, but it's Oak's and Wren's book and they aren't appreciated enough. And Hyacinthe and Tiernan are criminally underrated.

My favourite thing about Cardan going to Vivi's house in the mortal world to find Jude when Madoc takes her OR about his sent letters is that the man knew where to find her all those months of exile. I know this is a given but I keep forgetting because if he knew why didn't he just go get her instead of sending her letters. He was respecting her space, he truly thought she wanted nothing to do with him. It absolutely kills me how hurt he was and still managed to respect what he thought were her wishes. I love him.
