I have never been wise

She/her. Multifandom, mostly ttrpg shows, assorted podcasts, and whatever else my brain decides to latch onto. I tag spoilers for a week after episodes of shows air.

I just want to make a quick note about this before people get too silly about the situation. It's very important to remember that Robbie is Native American, and is putting a lot of work into making sure that Kattigan has indigenous cultural touchstones as part of his characterization. And that is the appropriate lens through which we should view his missing and murdered wife and daughter, I think.

I would be reluctant to use fridging in this exact context, because this isn't some imaginary scenario to generate manpain for a white hero, this is a much more common experience of Native American and First Nation people, having their wives and daughters and sisters (in particular, but not exclusively) go missing. And never getting answers, never learning what happened, and not being believed that there's a problem in the first place.

This is like how being rescued from a tower by a prince is not particularly empowering or affirming to cis physically able straight thin perisex white women and girls, but can be for basically anybody else. Particularly black girls and women, who do not get a lot of cultural messages that treat them as people who are so valuable and precious, who may not have the strength to save themselves, or may wish that they didn't fucking have to save themselves (and everyone else) all the time.

White men have this story so often happen that we have a trope name specific to one specific and particularly egregious version of this, but you don't often see men who look like Robbie dealing with this type of story in fictional settings, even though it happens for men like Robbie in real life with horrifying frequency.

Sometimes stories that are old can be new again in different hands, from different point of views, so just... mind how you step here.

I very much know that this isn't how the "it would announce you are here" situation works, but I like imagining that what's happening is basically Primus, Petra and Ryah, and Ethrand are all getting notifications that the security system at home was tripped but aren't seeing them because everyone was asked to minimize disruptions at this meeting by turning their phones off

I love how some fics are called shit like "They Only Shoot The Birds Who Cannot Sing" and it's like the most insane porn you're ever read and then some fics are called Spit On Me and it's 18,000 words of the most achingly id-scratching prose you've ever read and they're both. They're both so fucking good. thank God for fanfiction.

This is why Pride is not just a party. It's a joyful celebration, but it's also a pointed and colourful two-finger salute to a world that stood back whilst so many of us died. And we'll never go quietly, never again.

i wish there were more ways to communicate to people under ~30 the scale of what the aids epidemic was like before antiretrovirals, the numbers (both absolute and relative) of people who died, and kept dying, every day for years and years and years, because it's very hard to truly understand looking back from today if you aren't actively seeking out understanding. the photo above of the choir is one thing that works well, as is this piece from 1987 by fran lebowitz.

"I'm sorry you feel I did something very bad. But actually, what if it was only that I wanted to rule over you? What's so wrong about that? I did it FOR you. Walking in the same streets as the POORS? Now, THAT'S the REAL crime here."

Or, alternatively,

FUCK! THIS! GUY!

i am so emotional over this family being able to do exactly what they were made to do

hal who's worked so hard for decades to find the perfect way to tell a story that will save their people, who's turned a place of terror into a place of pure freedom and joy, who in his own way shaped every member of this performance but never to command them, only to support them

shadia who's carrying such a huge legacy in her blood, fighting like both of her parents to build a better world with the blades her ancestors built to secure her future, a performance that can speak to her calling this place home

both of them in ways they didn't know were possible, pulling worlds together in this moment to create a new path for those long lost to walk

for thaisha who's spent thirty years studying the history of this world so she can save it but knowing that despite what her order tells her it's not history that will save us all, it's forging new ground, to say okay. i know what to do.

[your-turn-to-role]

and of course thjazi believing in all three of them to do exactly that

[loveandlegacy]

as a rule it's always more interesting when two people who know each other outlive a third person that they both loved and then their relationship becomes So Much Weirder and more emotionally fraught, entangled, and charged when that third person dies
