Why do the "let dudes be friends" ppl only ever say that about the gayest motherfuckers who have ever walked the earth??? So many good examples and good representation of dudes being pals, but you have to say this shit about the two men who stare at each other's lips for a living and clearly dream about each other at night???

Perhaps it was for the best that Altan and Chaghan didn't become anchors; because the scene of Rin asking Chaghan in "The Dragon Republic" whether or not Altan had an anchor and Chaghan replying with: "He had. Me." would be truly diabolical

R. F. Kuang had to kill Altan off, because his relationship with Chaghan would have definitely put rinezha in the backseat for the next two books. Just imagine 1200 more pages of tragic gay love story. True paradise (which none of them will ever get into, though)

I know that the only reason why Altan rejected Chaghan's offer about becoming anchors was because he knew he wouldn't live long and didn't want to doom twins to death in the phoenix's flames alongside with himself, but I cannot prove it

every chaltan girl needs her rinezha girl to spend cozy winter evenings debating on which ship is better
