The fact that people who support the fox reincarnating as Evangeline theory are panicking about how The Ballad of the Archer and the Fox might be too romantic is frying my brainâŚ
Like isnât this what you wanted? Isnât this why that theory was crafted in the first place? Because how can anyone compete with a dead girl right?
My theory is that it will be written the way itâs told in the Magnificent North, like a fairytale, with the ambiguous ending. So donât worry, we wonât be getting a âthereâs nothing of equal value to meâ fox girl edition. And I think it will be told from the perspective of the fox, and she might not have even loved Jacks. I mean he was trying to kill her for a while, and we have yet to see her pov.
But also, Evangeline knows the story, itâs her favourite fairytale. She knows the Archer is Jacks and it hasnât bothered her once, which is really all that matters. Itâs not like itâs being released as its own separate book. Itâs not a spinoff, itâs just part of a special edition OUABH release.
I know that these books are primarily YA love stories but Iâm incapable of just enjoying a cute story with a happy ending so hereâs a short essay about social politics in the Magnificent NorthâŚ
Wolfric Valor seems to think retaking his throne will be a walk in the park, but even if the Valors put themselves in the Valory Arch someone still lopped the heads off their statues. So I think itâs safe to say some people were unhappy with their reign.
It also seems like Wolfric is a bit of a warmongering misogynist, which I canât imagine being a popular mind frame during times of peace and prosperity. However, we do see some xenophobic rhetoric from many unnamed Northern characters that interacted with Evangeline. If Wolfric were to make another grab for power, he might capitalise on the fear and encourage anti-immigrant sentiments while positioning himself as the solution to all the Northern peopleâs problems (sound familiar? đ§).
But politics have changed significantly during the 1000 years he was in the arch, reputations are defined no longer by great deeds accomplished in war, but by what the scandal sheets write about you. And the Knightlingers, having family in both the North and South, and possibly worldwide, would not support this kind of propaganda. So if one were to oppose the Valors retaking the North, their best bet would be to convince the Knightlingers to dismantle Wolfricâs reputation by using their scandal sheets to launch a smear campaign.
Ngl, I think Aurora would be the perfect person to do this takedown. She could achieve both revenge and redemption by stopping a possible war and undermining her father.
Iâm so sorry if I forced you to use your brain, I wish I could just turn it off and enjoy things for what they are without analysing them so much. Also, Iâm pretty certain all of this is based on canon, unless Iâm misremembering some things, so I think itâs pretty incredible that Stephanie Garber was able to create a story that has these things all possibly playing out in the background of such a beautiful fantasy world and epic love story.
Controversial opinions but I donât want Evangeline to be a reincarnation of the first fox. I think they should both be allowed to be their own people. And I think people need to stop projecting their own retrospective jealousy onto book characters. Like even if Jacks did genuinely love the fox it doesnât mean he loves Evangeline any less.
And also, I do want Aurora to get some sort of redemption arc. Like literally all of the men were villainous until they werenât, so if the fmcs and the fans can forgive them then they better keep that same energy for the female villains.
And donât even try giving me that âbut she started itâ nonsense. Her father has very clearly been set up as a misogynist that doesnât regard his daughters as people in their own right, but as property to be married off.
Iâm not excusing her actions, she is obviously a villain, but so is everyone around her. And tbh the worst thing she did, as far as we know, was curse Jacks, while all of the men have literally murdered people.
Iâm blending up a few different theories here but what if Ribbit was Pomniâs abusive ex in real life and they pulled the same abusive tactics with Jax in the circus.
Pomni was able to end the relationship on her own terms and seek therapy and that could be why she seems so emotionally intelligent and healthy.
But before Jax could end the relationship, Ribbit abstracted. Which could explain Jaxâs unhealthy coping mechanisms.
Also the relationships donât necessarily have to be romantic in nature. They could be platonic or even familial in Pomniâs case because of her and Ribbitâs similar character designs. It could be two different kind of relationships with the same toxic person.
I donât know, I feel like most people have been headcannoning Ribbit as a good person and I just wanted to offer an alternative perspective that I havenât seen as much. I guess this is kind of pessimistic of me but until I see a character in action I usually just assume theyâre evil đ .

I havenât really thought this theory out butâŚ
I donât think theyâll all become gloinks but arenât gloinks npcs?
But alsoâŚ
Cain & Abel are biblical characters.
Bible Cain murdered his brother, Abel, out of jealousyâŚ
So imagine an au where Cain, the one who brought jealousy, murder, and hatred into this world, is God.
It looks a lot like âI Have No Mouth, And I Must Scream.â Doesnât it?
And given that thatâs what âThe Amazing Digital Circusâ is based on, and also the increasingly violent Caine adventures, I think we can expect to see Caine causing the actual death of one of the circus members.
And that circus member, might come back as an npc.
I think Caine having a hand in the characterâs death/abstraction will be an important distinction in terms of who can come back as an npc.
I don't know exactly how to articulate this but... if you repeatedly show historical fiction women rejecting traditionally female skills/duties and doing swords instead, because swords is obviously the Most Important Thing, you are kind of implying that all the work that has been traditionally done by female hands for millennia was useless all along and not, you know, keeping civilization going. Because it's usually rejected not as a personal preference but as This Is The Important Stuff (male work) and That is The Dumb Useless Stuff (women's work) and that kind of bothers me. The message was supposed to be Vital But Underpaid and Underappreciated, not women's work is insignificant so let's all go do swords.
This goes all the way back to early medieval storytelling. Basically they believed women were deformed/mutilated men but if she picked up a sword her balls would drop because swords are manly. Likewise if a man didnât fight they believed his balls would shrivel back up inside him.
Hereâs a pretty interesting parallel between Evangeline and JacksâŚ
At the start of OUABH, Evangeline makes her deal with Jacks to stop the wedding, but when she sees that led to the whole wedding party being turned to stone she takes responsibility for her actions and drinks the potion to take their place.
At the end of TBONA, Jacks takes responsibility for his actions that ultimately led Evangeline to her death and uses the stones to go back in time and save her.
Neither one of them are fully responsible for these consequences but they both took responsibility anyway. I think it really demonstrates how Evangeline changed Jacks for the better.
Okay, so I think I might have figured it out but I didnât reread the books to do so, so please correct me if Iâm wrong.
I think weâre supposed to doubt that Tellaâs grandmother ever met Legend because if they met at Caraval then it might not have been the actual Legend she met, but one of his actors pretending to be him.
I canât remember his name but my moneyâs on the guy that pretended to be Scarletâs fiancĂŠ. I donât know he just gave âI dated your grandmotherâ vibes whenever he spoke to Scarlet and Tella. Like he was kind of smug about it you know?
Has anyone else noticed that with Tella he just took one bite then threw the whole apple away but Evangeline is seeing piles of apple cores?

I saw a writer on TikTok explaining that her book was not picked up by publishers because her FMC wasnât âstabbyâ enough and it reminded me of something I learned in Medieval Literature in university.
So apparently gender during these times was somewhat defined by military prowess. And women for quite some time, until more recently than you would think, were viewed as deformed / mutilated / incomplete men. So a woman taking up arms was essentially becoming a man, and maybe emasculating the men around her who would not fight.
Basically she became something better than a woman by acting like a man. So it deeply upsets me that this is the direction the publishing industry seems to be taking women in literature, at least in most High Fantasy books. I would like to believe that language has evolved enough that âstrongâ no longer means just physical strength.
And this isnât me not believing that a woman would be able to fight. And Iâm not trying to say women shouldnât fight. I just donât like that any other way of achieving victory is being swept away by publishers who are just looking to make money, and just want authors to essentially copy already successful books and never create anything new.
I wonât mention the particular âstabby fmcâ books that inspired this tangent but I think some people will be able to connect the dots. Suffice to say I donât think they deserved the popularity they got, they are objectively poorly written.
In a nutshellâŚ
STOP DEMONISING AND ERASING FEMININITY!!! And stop upholding masculine traits as something a female character is worthless without.
(In the medieval literature class I mentioned we were studying âBeowulfâ and âJudithâ is anyone is interested)
I have a theory. Or maybe itâs so obvious that no one thought to mention it and Iâm just catching up now.
I think Jacks made a deal with the Fallen Star to break the Archerâs curse. And the unseen cost was that he would become a Fate, that he would become the Prince of Hearts. So he kissed the original Fox not knowing it would kill her.
Perhaps Castor and LaLa made similar deals with unforeseen consequences. The Fallen Star was the big villain of the Caraval series so it makes sense that his villainy would trickle into this new series and have lasting effects upon the characters of Once Upon A Broken Heart. In particular the Fates - The Prince of Hearts, The Unwed Bride and Chaos.
It draws an interesting parallel with the beginning of Evangelineâs story - making a deal with Jacks and it not working out as she had hoped.
And it leaves room to expand on all the Fates stories, The Assassin, The Maiden Death, The Lady Prisoner, Poison, etc. Why did they make a deal with Gavriel? What price did they pay beyond becoming a Fate? What are they doing now?
Again maybe this is common knowledge but thatâs just my two cents on the issue. This is my first post so I really donât know what Iâm doing.
This would have been so much better. I still don't get how people become Fates, exactly. Especially since, like, Jacks had his power before he became a Fate because of Aurora. So other than immortality, is that it? And can anyone become a Fate? Like, what?
I caught a glimpse of a new bonus chapter on TikTok (I donât live in America or the U.K so Iâve no chance of getting it myself) and it looks like Honora Valor helped the Fallen Star after he fell from the sky. So I guess was still sort of right about the two series being connected in that way, like the OUABH characters had access to the Fallen Star to be turned into Fates.
I think Jacks had his curse (the ability to kill with his kiss) because of Aurora but his powers (how he controlled peopleâs emotions) is a result of the Fallen Star making him a Fate and therefore immortal.
But maybe Aurora sought some help with cursing Jacks, maybe from the Fallen Star??? I donât know. I guess the whole âunforeseen consequencesâ plot line regarding the Fallen Star could be given to Honora, if it happens at all, since she is the one that healed him, enabling him to do all the terrible things he did.
Maybe all of this will be expanded on in the Chaos/LaLa book if itâs ever written, đ¤.
But I do wonder if the Valors had anything to do with putting the Fates in the cards. Iâll have to double check the books. This is a theme in Stephanie Garberâs work I really enjoy though, the idea of holding people that might have abused their power accountable and putting them away, be it in cards or an arch.
Sorry this is so long đ
Just wanted to say that when Aang was struck by lightning he was letting go of his attachment to Katara and when Zuko was struck by lightning he was literally saving Kataraâs life.
I suppose the argument could be made that by unblocking that last chakra and gaining control over the avatar state, Aang was trying to save Katara from everyone that was attacking them but Aang was in that room too. He was saving himself just as much as he was saving Katara, he didnât know Azula was going to hit him with lightning. Also, the world needs its avatar.
Zuko, on the other hand, knowingly risked his life solely for Katara. He made the decision to be struck by lightning to save her. He knew that Katara had used up all her spirit water to heal Aang after he was hit by lightning and he still jumped in front of Katara. He knew that he could have died.
Like wtf happened? How does a show fuck up the romance this badly? Everything else played out so beautifully.
I enjoyed the ACOTAR books when I read them and love a lot of the characters but I definitely see where people are coming from with their criticisms.
I would say TOG is better though it comes with its own set of problems. And I was kind of enjoying the CC series until the ACOTAR crossover.
I think the main difference, for me anyway, is that TOG and CC felt like they had a lot more meaningful sacrifices. SJM wasnât afraid of killing off characters.
But who died in ACOTAR? Feyreâs unnamed mother, Clare Beddor, and two unnamed fae. And in ACOMAF? A few unnamed citizens in Velaris, and a mortal queen.
And ACOWAR is perhaps the worst offender with thousands of unnamed civilians and soldiers of Prythian, the bone carver and the weaver who were literally introduced as antagonists, Brennan and Dagda who were also antagonists, three unnamed children of the blessed, Feyreâs unnamed father, the King of Hybern (is he unnamed or is his name literally Hybern?), and the Suriel (the only death that elicited any sort of emotional response from me).
[Iâm on a train and donât have my books to refer back to so forgive me if I got any names wrong, mixed up the books, or missed a death or two.]
Compare this to losing characters like Sam, Nehemia, Gavriel, the thirteen, even Ren (especially Ren) the impact just isnât the same. And of course a lot of unnamed soldiers and civilians died too, so it just makes sense that with all the battles and bloodshed in all of SJMâs series that we would lose a main character or two, but in ACOTAR we didnât. Also thereâs characters that were already dead before the events of the prequel took place, specifically Aelinâs parents, that we still kind of feel a sense of loss over just because it affects some of the main characters so much and the events of the series as a whole so much.
And in CC thereâs Danika, Connor and the rest of their pack, Lehabah, even Huntâs friends Justinian and Victoria. I donât recall any deaths in the second one except Cormac and Sophie but thatâs where I lost hope for the series anyway, with the ACOTAR crossover.
But I would say my least favourite thing SJM does is try to convince me that her characters âsacrificedâ their mortality. Aelin, Feyre, Nesta, Elain, Bryce. I understand that they didnât necessarily want to be fae but I donât think becoming one is much of a sacrifice because they were written as so ridiculously superior to humans in every way.
And Amrenâs sacrifice could have been a beautifully heartbreaking moment in ACOWAR but was ruined by immediately bringing her back to life. And it also kind of ruined how Feysand came full circle, from Rhys convincing the High Lords to revive Feyre in book one to Feyre doing the same for Rhys in book three, to have another character also come back to life, it just felt overdone. (And of course Feyre died again in ACOSF and so did Nyx but Iâm not going anywhere near that god awful book, it was so disappointing). I donât think SJM even knows what to do with Amrenâs character anymore, like oh god youâre slightly less immortal youâve sacrificed so much for us đ.
So yeah, ultimately for me it comes down to how much a book can make me feel something, and TOG achieved this far better than ACOTAR ever could. But even with all that said I still like ACOTAR, I just think TOG is better in terms of what I want from a book.
I think the Princess that gave Wolfric the Tree of Souls had a thing for Honora, not Wolfric.
Because if youâre willing to sacrifice someone you love to gain immortality do you really love them?
I think the Princess knew this and was hoping the tree would get rid of Wolfric so she could swoop in and get with Honora.
And Wolfric thinks she liked him because heâs just so full of himself. Evangeline kind of noticed this after he âapologisedâ to her. He wasnât really sorry because he believed he was right. Heâs got an inflated ego.
This might be my most ridiculous theory yet but I love it!

This might be wrong but I interpreted ânot-quite-humanâ as Jacks being not-quite human in the same way Legend is no longer quite human.
Like how they both look way younger than they are and maybe still have a bit of magic left just not quite to the level they had before giving up their immortality for love.
And Evangeline didnât die after Jacks kissed her because of true love which also made Jacks mortal. So maybe his kiss being deadly was somehow connected to his immortality? And sacrificing his immortality for love made his kiss not deadly?
Maybe thatâs the loophole to Jacksâ curse? I believe it was Chaos that said âevery curse has a back doorâ or something along those lines.
Not to be mean or anything but a lot of the stuff people are complaining about not being properly explained are easily figured out once you use your own brain. Not necessarily what I discussed above but itâs annoying to see people complaining for no reason. Iâm not saying ACFTL was flawless but try to think things through.
Just because the OUABH series is over doesnât mean we have to stop theorising about it. Stephanie Garber is most likely going to expand on this universe, she just probably canât outright say what sheâs working on for legal reasons or something.
Sorry if this offended anyone, itâs not an attack on anyone in particular or even an attack at all. Everyone is entitled to their opinions and this is just mine. Feel free to disagree.
I think that Stephanie Garber might be sort of merging her different series now. It would be very very difficult not to if her next books are set in the same universe as Caraval and OUABH. At the moment, her series can be read separately. You donât have to read one to understand the other.
It seems that ACFTL might be setting up a possible future story about Castor, LaLa and the Valors. And it will be hard to write a story involving the Valors that doesnât mention the fact that they were trapped in the Valory Arch for years. Which would be a huge spoiler for OUABH and most of TBONA.
So if this is indeed the case, and the next series by Stephanie Garber will require the previous ones to be read first, then ACFTL is not the end of our evajacks moments. They could appear together in future series! Similarly so could Scarlett and Julian and Tella and Legend.
But really more than anything I just want to see my baby boy Luc again. I just love him so much. He deserves the world and should be reinstated as King of the North.
