Once Upon a Red Flag is an AITA-style book podcast where we put fictional characters on trial.
In this episode, we’re judging Colonel Aetos from Fourth Wing, the first book in Rebecca Yarros’ Empyrean series.
The question: Is Colonel Aetos the asshole for sending a squad of traitors to die?
We might all know the answer to this question, but we think it is worth digging into. Navarre refers to the Marked Ones as the 107 innocents, but Colonel Aetos doesn’t think they are so innocent. So what they are arming Poromiel? Killing Xaden risks killing Violet, his son’s best friend, but this man doesn’t seem to care.
But Xaden and Violet are also the strongest riders of their generation, or they will be. Surely they are needed as a weapon against the venin? Are we just burying our heads in the sand, or is that the whole point?

Do the Marked Ones ACTUALLY want Violet dead? | Fourth Wing | AITA Book Review Podcast #6

Once Upon a Red Flag is an AITA-style book podcast where we put fictional characters on trial.
In this episode we’re judging Imogen Cardulo and Liam Mairi from Fourth Wing, the first book in Rebecca Yarros’ Empyrean Series.
The questions: is Imogen the asshole for trying to get revenge for her family’s murder at the first opportunity? And is Liam the asshole for being Violet’s bodyguard against her will?
If it wasn’t for Violet’s dragon scale armour, she wouldn’t have survived assessment. So at least one marked one wants her dead, and the Liam is tasked with being her shadow when Violet doesn’t want a bodyguard.
None of this is comfortable for anyone, but this is two people with the same prejudices taking two very different routes.

Is Amber Mavis…Innocent? | Fourth Wing | AITA Book Review Podcast #5

Once Upon a Red Flag is an AITA-style book podcast where we put fictional characters on trial.
In this episode, we’re judging Amber Mavis from Fourth Wing, the first book in Rebecca Yarros’ Empyrean series.
The question: is Amber Mavis the asshole for aiding the unbonded cadets in an attempted murder?
Amber rapidly descends from codex-lover to codex-breaker, but what’s the reason? Is she jealous over her fling with Dain the previous year? Does she not like the fact the Violet knows the loopholes better than her? Or is there something more sinister going on?
We think there is something weird going on here, and we want to get to the bottom of it.

Show notes
Once Upon a Red Flag is an AITA-style book podcast where we put fictional characters on trial.
In this bonus episode, we have a lot of Threshing Day questions and theories. This book has changed the way we view the entire Empyrean series.
The question: what on earth can we even trust anymore?
So the dragons are lying about their names, their ages, their very identities. And that leaves us with a lot of thoughts, some of them completely mind blowing.
This episode is pure speculation and we aren’t sorry about it. But come listen to use chat about whether Asher Sorrengail had a dragon, who we think that dragon is, and whether there are Irids hiding in the Vale.

Show notes
Once Upon a Red Flag is an AITA-style book podcast where we put fictional characters on trial.
In this episode, we’re judging Dain Aetos from Fourth Wing, the first book in Rebecca Yarros’ Empyrean series.
The question: is Dain Aetos the asshole for making his best friend feel weak and unsupported, when he just wants to protect her and keep her alive?
Dain says he only wants Violet to survive, but that is only if she will let him smuggle her into the Scribe Quadrant. He doesn’t want her to succeed as a rider, or he would have actually given her help.
We’re comparing Dain’s tactics with Mira and Xaden’s, and ask where Dain’s so-called protective nature is really coming from.

Is Jack Barlowe just a bully? | Fourth Wing | AITA Book Review Podcast #3

Show notes
Once Upon a Red Flag is an AITA-style book podcast where we put fictional characters on trial.
In this episode, we’re judging Jack Barlowe from Fourth Wing, the first book in Rebecca Yarros’ Empyrean series.
The question: is Jack Barlowe the asshole for being a “violent bully” to everyone and everything he deems beneath him?
Jack argues that is just “thinning the herd”, doing what is expected of him in the Riders Quadrant, simply getting rid of the weak links. He doesn’t just target Violet, but she does get the majority of his focus, and for seemingly no good reason.
We are trying to figure out Jack’s true reasons for his horrible personality, and whether Basgiath breeds this attitude.

Should we TRUST General Sorrengail? | Fourth Wing | AITA Book Review Podcast #2
Once Upon a Red Flag is an AITA-style book podcast where we put fictional characters on trial.In this episode, we’re judging General Sorrengail from Fourth Wing, the first book in Rebecca Yarros’ Empyrean …
Show notes
Once Upon a Red Flag is an AITA-style book podcast where we put fictional characters on trial.
In this episode, we’re judging General Sorrengail from Fourth Wing, the first book in Rebecca Yarros’ Empyrean series.
The question: is General Lilith Sorrengail the asshole for making her unprepared daughter enter the Riders Quadrant when she is already physically disadvantaged?
The General sends her youngest daughter into the most dangerous army training program with only six months of training, despite everyone warning her that Violet will just be chewed up and spit out. Violet does indeed survive, but does this really justify the risk?
We are weighing up whether this was an unnecessary gamble, if General Sorrengail could have prepared Violet better, or if this entire thing went exactly to plan.

Does Violet Sorrengail really trust Xaden? | Fourth Wing | AITA Book Review Podcast #1

Show notes
Once Upon a Red Flag is an AITA-style book podcast where we put fictional characters on trial.
In this episode, we’re judging Violet Sorrengail from Fourth Wing, the first book in Rebecca Yarros’ Empyrean series.
The question: Is Violet Sorrengail the asshole for immediately thinking the worst of the man she claims to love?
Violet has spent months falling for Xaden Riorson, even though she started the year under the assumption he is just waiting to destroy her. And then she finds out his biggest secret and immediately ends the relationship. Is this justified and understandable, or does Violet go too far?
We go through Parapet, the challenge fights, and their dragon-forged connection to work out whether Violet ever really trusted Xaden in the first place, and was it fair for her to say she loves him, and then take it all back a day later?

Once Upon a Red Flag is an AITA-style book podcast where we put fictional characters on trial.
In this bonus episode, we’re theorising about Threshing Day, the short story collecting from Rebecca Yarros’ Empyrean series, before it releases next week.
The question: Whose Threshing Day story do we want to read the most?
Xaden Riorson is confirmed, but we have a lot of thoughts about who else should be included. We want to know how Sgaeyl chose Xaden, more about Naolin’s bond with Tairn, and what game Andarna was playing at Violet’s Threshing (we can dream!)

Show notes
Once Upon a Red Flag is an AITA-style book podcast where we put fictional characters on trial.
In this episode, we're judging President Snow from Sunrise on the Reaping, Suzanne Collins' newest Hunger Games prequel.
The question: AITA for targeting a tribute over my beef with one family 40 years later?
Forty years after Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes, Snow is still punishing the Covey family through Haymitch — torturing his mentors, replacing a dead tribute with a hijacked lookalike, and destroying everyone Haymitch loves. Is this just Snow being Snow, or is this an old grudge that's turned an entire Quarter Quell personal?

In this episode, we're judging Wyatt Callow from Sunrise on the Reaping, Suzanne Collins' newest Hunger Games prequel.
The question: AITA for telling people their exact mathematical odds of dying in a literal death match?
Wyatt's family runs a gambling ring that takes bets on which kids will die in the Hunger Games, and Wyatt is the one calculating the odds — even, eventually, his own. Is profiting off other tributes' deaths unforgivable, or is Wyatt just a kid born into a family business he never got to choose?

In this episode, we're judging Maysilee Donner from Sunrise on the Reaping, Suzanne Collins' newest Hunger Games prequel.
The question: AITA for refusing to lower my standards, even when stuck in a literal death match where everything should purely be about survival?
Maysilee eats sandwiches with a knife and fork, collects gold jewellery, and has a reputation in District 12 for being a snob — but she also takes down three Careers with homemade poison darts and refuses to compromise who she is, even in the arena. Is Maysilee genuinely insufferable, or is District 12 just punishing her for being wealthy in the wrong ways?

In this episode, we're judging Plutarch Heavensbee from Sunrise on the Reaping, Suzanne Collins' newest Hunger Games prequel.
The question: AITA for exploiting trauma for television views, while secretly planning to overthrow the very thing I work for?
Plutarch films Haymitch's grieving family for reaction shots, forces a birthday cake on a boy about to die, and builds his entire career on the Hunger Games — all while quietly feeding information to rebels. Is Plutarch playing a long, careful game for the right side, or just excusing his own cruelty with a rebellion he barely commits to?

In this episode, we're judging Beetee Latier from Sunrise on the Reaping, Suzanne Collins' newest Hunger Games prequel.
The question: AITA for recruiting a minor into my rebel plan?
Beetee is a former victor forced to mentor his own son into the arena to die — and somewhere along the way, he pulls 16-year-old Haymitch into a plot to destroy the arena itself. Was Beetee exploiting a desperate, grieving teenager, or did Haymitch really come to him first? And how much of what followed was really Beetee's fault at all?

The question: AITA for trying to sabotage the arena and putting my family at risk by doing so?
Haymitch survives the arena, but the Capitol makes sure he pays for it — his mother, his brother, and Lenore Dove all dead within weeks of his victory. Should Haymitch have seen this coming, or was there truly nothing he could have done differently to save the people he loved?

The question: AITA for trying to sabotage the arena and putting my family at risk by doing so?
Haymitch teams up with Beetee's son Ampert to try and blow up the arena from the inside — a plan that gives Ampert a brutal death and doesn't even work. Was this rebellion worth the price, or did Haymitch's obsession with making a statement get other people killed for nothing?

Haymitch promised to protect Louella. Then a chariot crash and a mob of drunk Capitol citizens take her from him anyway — and Haymitch responds by laying her body at President Snow's feet. Was this Haymitch's first true act of rebellion, or a reckless move that draws exactly the kind of attention he can't afford?

The question: AITA for getting my boyfriend shipped off to the Hunger Games?
We all knew Haymitch’s girlfriend isn’t around in the original trilogy, but we didn’t know she was a rebel with zero self-preservation skills. And picking a fight with Peacekeepers on a Reaping Day, with the Capitol watching may be the stupidest thing she has ever done. Haymitch chose to intervene, sure, but without Lenore Dove’s actions, wouldn’t he have been safe from the arena? Is it all her fault?

The question: AITA for treating my tributes like the ‘district scum’ they are?
Drusilla is such a big (and toxic) personality, with questionable fashion sense and, honestly, who lets the woman out of the house with a whip? With a distinct lack of empathy and willingness to threaten the lives of multiple people, is she one of the worst Capitol citizens we have ever come across?

Our final A-Hole of Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes is Dr. Gaul. She is asking: AITA for proving that humans are naturally monsters? We say this a lot, but this woman may be the most twisted character in the entirety of the Hunger Games franchise, even beating Future President Snow.

So Sejanus Plinth finds himself in an active Hunger Games arena. No one can honestly think this is a good idea, but from the second he was given an tribute, was this always going to happen?
