the kindom trilogy // this brutal moon spoilers

love how that one chapter in this brutal moon implies that six has been walking around with a hickey in front of the rebels and first families like “yes your future pope gave me this”

Felt so insane about finishing this brutal moon and thus the kindom trilogy that I opened and started re-reading these brutal stars without even thinking about it

There's always something fun about engaging with a series that has basically no established fandom. Like, the series doesn't even have a tag on Ao3, the only way to find the two (2) fics about the entire series is to search for character names. It's weirdly freeing: I get to rotate these characters in my head with my own interpretation of the ending, and there's no general consensus of what happens or what the plot means.

Anyway, Six and Chono don't kiss enough in the text.

they should have kissed more

re-reading harrow the ninth and understanding what is actually happening is so funny cuz harrow will be fighting for her life and gideon is just like "yeah so that part of the sword is called the pommel by the way. in case you were curious. you keep getting that wrong"

my interpretation of six. bc i think we should all be more unhinged about hot non binary butches

the toxic yurism of six and chono is the way everyone in the series either uses or wants to use chono for their own agenda including six themself because six saw chono as the tool of their enemy so now they want her to be a tool for change and justice. but chono wants so much to be her own person and no one ever asks her what she wants and now she is stuck between the person that she was and the person that she has to be and they both come at the expense of her own wants and needs.

six wants to be their own person too but they’ve always wanted more than that, mainly revenge. and because so much of their own person, so much of who they are, is entangled with chono, and chono was entangled with esek, so six doesn’t seek their wants or needs beyond that. and there is of course the whole incomprehensible way six ruined themself and their body for revenge. six is arrogant and single-minded about their plans but still they don’t really see themself as a person with wants and needs. i’d say six sees themself as a tool too, for the jeveni’s justice, and for chono’s protection.

and still six and chono want each other, they want each other’s friendship and safety and closeness since they were kids and stripped of their names and gender and practically their humanity. in a story that centers so much around identity and choice, six and chono still chose each other first before they were allowed to choose anything and before they had to live with the whims of esek's choices. which still haunt them both and keep them from truly being who they want to be.

do you ever think about chono whose identity and purpose is devotion to the six gods to righteousness to justice and then six walks in and becomes the object of that same devotion just redirected because chono is using the same mechanism of worship but pointed to a new altar and how even separated by light years they’ll still find each other: but to go. and to come back…. because i think about it all the time

I consider it divine retribution that I made @curiouswisp check out the locked tomb and nows she's dragging me back into it (and I wouldn't want it any other way). This Camilla is for you
