Isn’t it crazy that patience, aka the person with the most legit reason to be personally upset by Fitz’s birth, was the ONLY one to truly lock the fuck in to loving him as a person who is a child

#always thinking about Fitz continuing to use the name SHE gave him throughout his entire life #literally any time he has to distance himself from the Fitzchivalry Farseer name he chooses to be the person that Patience saw him as #rote #patience farseer

The thing about Fitz that really tears me apart is how many things he is good at. Throughout the series you see all these jobs that come naturally to him: being a scribe, a stable master, a diplomat, even a soldier.

The only thing that he doesn't excel at is being an assassin. The only thing he's allowed to be.

#and he knows it! he knows that he's a failure of an assassin #rote #fitzchivalry farseer

Patience, clever, curious, artistic, whom no one takes seriously. Full of a cornucopia of fleeting interests that render her ridiculous to many. Flighty and frivolous. Unsuitable. Betrayed by by the golden prince who would have been king, exposed to ridicule because of his indiscretion. She had so much love in her heart for the bastard he left behind. Adopted the abandoned young boy as her own, for the child she never bore herself. Lost said son to torture, and endured his loss for fifteen years. In the crisis that followed, watched over the land she might have been queen of in another life, sacrificing her own valuables for the sake of her people. Stepped aside to make way for the queen regent, bearing the heir to the Farseer throne. Retiring to Tradeford in honour, but what is honour to all she has endured? Patience. Patience. Patience. SHE IS PATIENCE.

I can forgive all of Robin Hobb's many crimes because she gave us Kettricken and Patience.

Like, Patience is the step-mum who Fitz makes a terrible first impression on. She's demanding and short-tempered and treats Fitz like he's feral.

Kettricken is the pretty girl who poisons Fitz shortly after meeting him. She's calculating and, after her marriage, ruling over a culture she doesn't fully understand, making Fitz's life more difficult with her decisions.

It would be so easy to write both of them to one-note stock characters. Two more minor antagonists in Fitz's life. But Robin Hobb doesn't. They're good. They're complex and sympathetic. They love Fitz and he loves them. They talk about him after his death. They make sure that his son knows him, even in Fitz's absence.

Fitz is, of course, incapable of understanding how much he's loved. But I think Kettricken and Patience come closest to breaking through the lies Fitz tells himself.

The Germans really cooked making "Hobbyless behaviour" an insult. It is both devastating, applicable to a wide range of people and behaviours, and doesn't resort to swearing.

Man ranting on the internet about the Superbowl halftime show or complaining that something is "woke"? Hobbyless Behaviour. Girls mocking another girl for not looking right? Hobbyless Behaviour. Mindless vandalism? Hobbyless Behaviour.

It is more powerful than "get a life" or the English "You're Sad" because it gets to the central point of the matter, and that is wonderful. Danke, Deutsch.

made this for a twitter moot, please enjoy this very silly post

Honestly so fucked of one of my professors to teach me a topic I do not like and that is currently giving me so much stress while also being a really lovely guy who has been really understanding and proactive about any accomodations I might need

#can't even get proper angry about this assignment that's kicking my arse #because then i read his feedback on my other stuff and it's really nice and helpful and constructive #and yet i would rather die than study this ever again

The writers of M*A*S*H owe me financial compensation for creating a character I want to talk at my friends about for hours and giving him the name BJ.

#and it doesn't even stand for anything???#evil of them tbh #m*a*s*h #bj hunnicutt
