Remember that Chaghan had very little tolerance for opium, judging by how strongly he reacts to it in The Dragon Republic...considering that he and Altan spent so much time together, I find that detail so beautiful

Chaghan knew Altan used drugs, yet he never seemed accustomed to their effects himself. It leads me to wonder whether Altan simply didn't smoke much, or didn't feel the need to, when he was with Chaghan

Maybe Chaghan's presence gave Altan a sense of peace that opium never could

This is Rinvenka propaganda.

Forget about mid Rinezha.

Join the bright side.

Chaltan makes me sick ew ew ew these gays make me sick why can't I stop crying over them

[ammapola]

HI

DID YOU MISSED ME?

[andthemoonsingswisely]

homosexual situationships where their love is painful and scrapes their insides like sandpaper but it's also the most honest thing they've ever known, that rare reprieve of luminosity that gives their barbed-wire sawdust lives a bit of life

“We asked Finn to carry a lot of emotional weight this season”

DID HE REFUSE?

[ammapola]

Altan practically chooses Chaghan even when Chaghan despised him, and that point is central to understanding Chaltan

Their relationship is based on mutuality and a development of more than a year together,Altan cared about Chaghan as much as Chaghan cared about him

And if you don't see it like that, I'm afraid you just weren't paying enough attention to Altan

Altan is the one who seeks physical contact and closeness, whose determination after facing his greatest fears draws him back the moment he hears Chaghan’s name. Even after a fight that was deeply hurtful, he keeps laughing at the things Chaghan once said to Rin.It is Altan who shares his most painful memories, who trusts blindly, who makes the first move

(Honestly, I truly believe that if Chaghan were a woman, no one would call them one-sided AT ALL)

[ammapola]

When people say “Rin is Speerly first, a woman second”

They reveal a way of thinking that only works if you’ve never experienced discrimination where gender and ethnicity overlap. Identity is not something you can rank(‽) You are not ethnic first and woman second you are a woman of that people, and violence is enacted through both at once

The text itself contradicts the fandom take. At the beginning of the book, Rin doesn’t know she is Speerly. The conflict that defines her life is gendered violence she is about to be forced into marriage. Her body and future are controlled because she is a woman, long before her ancestry is revealed

Genocide does not erase gender,it weaponizes it. Marriage, reproduction, and ownership of women’s bodies are central tools of post genocide oppression. Saying “Speerly first” ignores that Rin’s womanhood is exactly why she is vulnerable, why the violence against her takes the form it does, and why she is treated differently from Altan

Framing Rin as “Speerly first, woman second” doesn’t elevate her it flattens her

Last thing Mugenian soldiers saw before getting their minds obliterated

[ammapola]

Altan died without ever knowing that the only person who truly knew him,the only one who saw him as a human being, and whom he trusted blindly,was spying on him and had been tasked with killing him if he ever went mad

[surenseer]

every day my love for chaghan grows more and more. i love that twink with no pupils.

[titikookiewitchy]

Altan was the sun. And everyone loved watching him burn. Even his own self. Except Chaghan.

[ammapola]

I wanted them to have one of these typical fanarts

[ammapola]

Was she a goddess or a monster?

[helenestark]

I will always wonder how Chaghan got the scars on his neck, like it was mentioned once or twice, but never elaborated on. Were they innate? Or were they done to him on purpose? Then why doesn't Qara have matching ones? Is it because it was done to him during a period of time they were separated? (I assume the thing about distance applies to them as well) Then, when was it, before they joined the Cike or after? But why, in the first place?

"A drag path, etched in the surface as evidence"

Except its all the names etched on the entrance of the chuluu korikh, jiang's being the last bc after he immured himself no one alive heald enough knowledge to do it except when rin was trapped there for an hour not even a name to mark her

Except its chaghan, the last of the cike, trying to reunite the people who were nothing but cruel to him knowing hesperians are coming sooner or later

Except its lianhua carrying the secret of shamanism but not the true gravity of it, having never had the chance to be taught properly but forced into the mould of a weapon alongside pipaji and dulin

Except its altan being the last to experience speer's warmth and rin the last to carry the weight of its people

Except its kesegi, the frayed string from tins past finally snapping "You're not my sister"

Except its nezha, standing vigil for eternity as the last relic of the empire, the last person to remember kitay and rin as themselves, not the phoenix general and her strategist
