Things are heating up - in Fourth Wing and in our thirsts. This week we're reading chapters 17 - 20 and we're desperately thirsty for boundary play... that is, when is someone pushing against your boundaries hot and when is it REALLY not. We talk about Xaden and Violet's banter, Tairn and Violet's banter, Dain and Violet's lack of banter, and - of course - how hot it is when Xaden laces Violet's boots.

Good lord. This might be our favorite episode yet.

Let's ride :)

It's THRESHING babies (Chapters 13-16), and today we're thirsty for bravado. A little bit of daring, a little bit of confidence, and a lot of dragon bonding...

This week we're talking about:

• How hot Violet's daggers are;
• Whether or not Violet calling Andarna "Goldie" is fun or annoying;
• The way restraint and discipline make or break bravado;
• And... once again... Dain :')

Excited to dig in. Let's ride...

IT'S EPISODE FOUR! In today's episode we're reading chapters 10-12 of Fourth Wing and we're thirsty for agency 🥵. We discuss our thoughts on some very important questions like:

1. Is the gauntlet sexy or embarrassing?
2. Do we need rivals to push us to own our agency?
3. How deep do Violet's mommy issues run? Is Xaden justified in giving her flack about them?
4. Do agency and belonging work together or in contrast? How do we reconcile them?

Let's ride 🐉.

It's time for episode THREE of SDD and today we're thirsty for secret weapons 🗡️😏 . We're focusing on chapters 7-9 and we get into:

1. the mechanics of Xaden being "between Violet's hips" on the sparring mat 👀
2. why it's so hot when Xaden says "you're a violent little thing aren't you."
3. why Violet's dagger throwing is... just yes
4. and ... once again ... Dain being a true buzzkill in the thirst department

Let's RIDE y'all ;)

In the 2nd episode of SDD we talk about Chapters 4-6 of Rebecca Yarros' Fourth Wing and find ourselves THIRSTING after attention. We discuss:

1. whether pens, shoulders popping out of sockets, and shirtless dudes sparring are or are not sexy
2. if attention is universally hot (spoiler alert: it isn't)
3. the risks of suppressing our desire for attention (ahem, Dain and Jack Barlow anyone?)

Settle in y'all - let's ride ;)

Welcome to the FIRST episode of Sex, Death, and Dragons. In today's episode we talk about Chapters 1-3 of Rebecca Yarros' Fourth Wing. We're getting right to business; and by business we mean:

1. discussing our not-so-sexy meet cutes with Fourth Wing (hint: they involve moms and illness)
2. comparing our sexy-o-meter on how hot these chapters are
3. digging into why we're both so thirsty for an underdog story (and why we're surprised by this)
4. glancing at the shadow (daddy) of repressing our thirst for the underdog
5. you'll have to find out the rest...

Settle in y'all - let's ride ;)
