Find Your Fourth Wing Soulmate: It's Not Always Easy, But Totally Worth It!

Okay, so you've read Fourth Wing, right? Obsessed? Yeah, me too. I mean, obsessed. I'm talking rereading chapters, quoting Violet Sorrengail, the whole shebang. And after finishing it for the third time (don't judge!), I started thinking... where's my Xaden Riorson? My own hot, brooding, dragon-riding, emotionally unavailable (but secretly a softie) soulmate?

Spoiler alert: Finding your Fourth Wing soulmate isn't quite as straightforward as finding a rare, enchanted grimoire. It takes some serious work, lemme tell you.

My Epic Fail (and What I Learned)

I dove headfirst into the "finding my Xaden" project with the enthusiasm of a Navarre cadet facing their first dragon. My first attempt? Joining a bunch of online book clubs, thinking I'd find my perfect match amongst fellow Fourth Wing fanatics.

Total bust. Most of the conversations were about plot points or character analyses. While interesting, it wasn't exactly finding a kindred spirit who gets my intense need to ride a dragon. Ugh.

It was a painful experience, but it taught me a valuable lesson: finding your soulmate (Fourth Wing style or otherwise) is rarely found through a checklist.

So, How Do You Find Your Fourth Wing Soulmate?

Forget the fantasy, okay? It's about finding someone who shares your passions, challenges you, and understands that sometimes, you just need to scream into a pillow after a particularly intense chapter. I'm serious! Here's the breakdown:

1. Embrace Your Inner Violet (But Realistically): Violet's strength and determination are awesome, but don't let that intimidate you. Being brave enough to pursue what you love is key. Whether it's joining a book club (if you want a different outcome than my attempt, which ended up improving my character analysis skills!), picking up a new hobby (like aerial silks. Why not?!), or even just putting yourself out there, it's about actively seeking opportunities to meet people who share similar interests. You gotta be brave like Violet.

2. Focus on Shared Values, Not Just Shared Fandoms: Sure, sharing a love for Fourth Wing is a great start, but real connection goes deeper. What are your core values? What are your non-negotiables in a relationship? Someone who respects your passions, shares your sense of humor, and understands your need for a healthy dose of caffeine? Bingo. That's a winner.

3. Nurture Potential Connections: If you encounter someone who sparks that potential connection, actively nurture it. This means initiating conversations beyond the surface level, engaging with their thoughts and opinions, and making yourself available to build a relationship. It's not enough to just "vibe" with someone. Put in the work! It's a bit like forging a bond with a dragon, you have to earn it.

4. Be Patient (Because True Love Takes Time): The romantic ideal is that we'll meet our soulmate and it'll be immediate fireworks and instant connection. In reality, finding a meaningful connection with someone often takes time. Go slowly, allow the relationship to develop organically, and enjoy the journey.

5. Remember: It's Not About Finding a Perfect Copy of Xaden: Let's be honest, finding someone exactly like Xaden is a tall order. Focus on the qualities you admire in fictional characters, like their loyalty, kindness, and strength, and look for those attributes in real people. You might even find they're packaged in a much more surprising and delightful way.

Finding a Fourth Wing soulmate isn't just about finding someone who loves the same books; it's about finding someone who ignites your passion, challenges you to grow, and makes you laugh until your sides hurt. Good luck, and remember, even if your journey isn't exactly like Violet's, it can be just as epic!
