🦋Analyzing the Elements present on the cover of The Prisoner's Throne, sequel to The Stolen Heir from Holly Black.

“The cover of The Prisoner’s Throne is this winter landscape with berries frozen in ice, a mysterious ring, and an alighting moth.”

Interview from Holly Black given to Cosmopolitan.

🦋Starting with Butterfly on the white version of The Prisoner's Throne cover.

🦋Diaethria anna or Anna's eighty-eight symbolizes "Abundance" and "Prosperity."

🦋On his wings, angel number 88 (angel numbers are messages from Spiritual Realm, providing guidance and information about our lives), the number of Karma (our actions and decisions directly impact our lives and the Universal Spiritual Laws of CAUSE and EFFECT).

🦋The dark cover of The Prisoner's Throne features a Southern Black White Butterfly (Melanargia ines), which means the opposite of "Anna 88."

🦋It means balance between two sides (Light and Darkness), new beginnings, transformation, duality etc.

🦋Winter means: sadness, heartbreak and loneliness, but it also symbolizes the end of many things. It could be the end of a relationship or the end of a character's struggles when looking to the future.

(The Court of Tooth, under the veil of eternal winter, is ruled by the Queen Wren).

🦋Anyway, the Tanzanite Ring.

🦋It's a stone for new beginnings. It symbolizes prosperity, good luck and optimism for a future full of happiness. An ENGAGEMENT RING (theory) to carry love through the ages.

Observations, surprises, and learnings

Mostly canon pairings: Almost everyone depicted canon romantic and platonic pairings. Only 7 romantic ships were non-canon pairings, and they each had only 1 work. Not a single one was gay! 😢 (Which is motivating me to finally write that Wentworth/Brandon fic for next year!)

Mostly core Austen fandoms: I expected a lot more works from non-Austen fandoms, given how often I see people draw and write Regency AUs for every fandom under the sun, as well as original works, and given how many people from non-Austen fandoms I notified about the event! Also, not a single work was submitted related to a modern Austen adaptation, like Bride and Prejudice, Clueless, or Lizzie Bennet Diaries. I’m not disappointed by any of this, just surprised.

Very few gifs: While I love the 4 new gifsets made for the event, I was disappointed there were only 4, considering how many Austen gifsets I see made for Period Drama Appreciation Week, for instance, and how popular Austen gifsets are on Tumblr. Next year, I will make a concerted effort to contact more gif-makers. (And if you have any you’d love to see join, tell them about this blog! I only just found out about @regencysource yesterday, curses!)

Creativity boost: Several people told me that this event inspired them to start writing again after a block, or post a fic for the first time, or finish a fic they were stuck on. This was so wonderful to hear that the event boosted creators in this way! It made me so very happy. ❤️

Prompt interpretation: My goal with the prompts was that they be somewhat Austen/Regency-specific but not the standard, obvious choices like balls, dancing, proposals, etc., because those wouldn’t be very inspiring since they’re so common already. It was a joy to see the different ways that people used the prompts. For instance, Bath the place vs bath the activity, or literally hunting animals vs figuratively hunting men. And even the folks who used modern AUs found ways to make the very dated prompts like cravat and calling cards work! Bravo on everyone’s creativity!

👉  If you have any suggestions for prompts for next year, or other feedback, I’d love it if you shared it with me via this very short and easy survey!

I had a blast hosting this, so Janeuary will definitely be back for 2026! Keep your eyes peeled for the prompts in September!
