and it's a question of "is it worth it" because in the world they lived in, it did cost them everything. but they just have to hope that it is a better world for those who come after them, and they are compelled to impart "i can't say if it was worth it, but i clung to it anyway"

[covey-o-quail]

seraphina is a story built on the tragedy of linn. it has already happened. she is dead and unchangeable. but

[Orma] shrugged hopelessly. “Linn was not just my sister; she was my teacher.” Orma had often told me that among dragons there was no higher word of esteem than teacher; teachers were more revered than parents, spouses, even the Ardmagar himself.

and

"You are my teacher. I will listen, and I will try to learn." (Comonot) "I will try to be worthy of your reverence," I said, my mother's words coming to me from the depths of the memory box.

so

I scan the text recorded on my note block. To it I add: Love is not a disease.

“Your mother once told me something, and I need to tell you … because you need … to understand it [...] Love is not a disease." (Orma)

and far, far too late. you realize you are watching the second, inevitable tragedy play out. and all you can do is wonder if it was worth it.

AND IT WAS ALWAYS GOING TO HAPPEN WASNT IT!!!!!!! ORMA WAS ALWAYS GOING TO FOLLOW HIS SISTER !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

ORMA WARRIORS LOSE SO UNFATHOMABLY HARD

[covey-o-quail]

"please no one gets to come out of shadow scale unscathed 🙄" well kiggs enjoyers have it pretty good i think . orma enjoyers have been struggling longer than anyone. and when you think it's over. there's a second plane. the first half of seraphina and the second half of seraphina are very different literally after orma goes bare ass on speculus and then is bare faced for the rest of the book. literally i had to pause my seraphina reread in may bc i hit that point. insert linn quote about diving from the sea cliff and laughing at the danger. like yah except there's a fucking iceberg up ahead. so i just walked away from the cliff but then i came back and junped and now the question is how long will i ride the waves and will i accept the the consequences of hanging in too long re: The Fucking Iceberg

it is heartbreaking that linn died w All That weighing on her, thinking she is monstrous to both claude and orma + asking forgiveness from unborn phina who is going to feel Everything that linn is feeling. and not knowing how much she was Loved and Understood, or rather how much she would have been had she taken the chance to be in life, or how much she is postmortem once claude and orma and phina learn to live with the fucked up life hearthurt she left them.

[covey-o-quail]

she was dead and unchangeable.

then & now ♡

speaking of fuckass fathers there is no true claude dombegh fatherhood redemption. he's alive and he will remain in phina's life at the very least bc he's her friend's lawyer, and it would be nice if they had the best relationship they could, but bro ended it five years ago. there's no take-backsies on that.
