Letting the days go by

sometimes u comment under a mutual's post and it's like god, this is it they're gonna kill me now

[fractalradio]

prefacing this by again admitting i shouldn’t be looking at spoilers, it’s bad, i know. but based on the relative little i’ve seen of tawny man i have to say i’m already feeling quite negative about the setup of fitz being subservient to the fool, as the ‘man’ of a celebrated lord. only because… well… for one, am i wrong in thinking there is a distinctly verity sheen to the whole scenario here…

the ambiguity of uncles....

[gothhabiba]

there's an economy of attention & of emotion where you're supposed to find the perspectives and experiences of certain people endlessly fascinating, edifying, and worth caring about, to where it's taken as actively aggressive to simply be neutral, indifferent, or uninterested

while idly scrolling instagram reels i saw someone recommending the farseer trilogy & the top reply was ‘IS THERE SPICE?’ … deepest apologies to the commenter but frankly i struggle to think of a less sexy set of books

I glanced back to Verity. For the first time in my life, I saw full anger on his face. Not expressed in a sneer or a frown, but simply as two hot sparks deep in his dark eyes. The line of his lips was flat. But he spoke evenly. ‘Look again, Burrich. That’s no child sitting there. And think again. I did not send him alone. I went with him, into a situation that we expected to be a stalk and a hunt, not a direct confrontation. It didn’t turn out that way. But he survived it. As he has survived similar things before. And likely will again.’ Verity stood suddenly. The whole air of the room was abruptly charged to my senses, boiling with emotion. Even Burrich seemed to feel it, for he gave me a glance, then forced himself to stand still, like a soldier at attention while Verity stalked about the room. ‘No. This isn’t what I would choose for him. This isn’t what I would choose for myself. Would that he had been born in better times! Would that he had been born in a marriage bed, and my brother still upon the throne! But I was not given that situation, nor was he. Nor you! And so he serves, as I do. Damn me, but Kettricken has had it right all along. The King is the sacrifice of the people. And so is his nephew. That was carnage up there today. I know of what you speak: I saw Blade go aside to puke after he saw that body, I saw him walk well clear of Fitz. I know not how the boy… this man survived it. By doing whatever he had to, I suppose. So what can I do, man? What can I do? I need him. I need him for this ugly, secret battling, for he is the only one equipped and trained to do it. Just as my father sets me in that tower, and bids me burn my mind out with sneaking, filthy killing. Whatever Fitz must do, whatever skills he must call upon–’ (My heart stood still, my breath was ice in my lungs.) ‘–then let him use. Because that is what we are about now. Survival. Because…’ ‘They are my people.’ I did not realize I had spoken until they both swung to stare at me.

People on Tumblr love sharing information about themselves no matter how asinine it is. And I'm the same way. Everybody tell me what the last thing you drank was.

FACT: everything in the farseer trilogy is a gender thing

[velvetun]

what it feels like asking anyone 1+ years younger than me if they wanna hang out

[canidykes]

the big man is the masculine dom and the dom is the top and the little man is effeminate and transgender but fully passes as a cis man and has top surgery but since he doesnt have bottom surgery he literally has to be a bottom theres no way for someone with a vagina to top and the bottom is the sub and they are both uncomplicatedly homosexual with zero positive emotions for women and they both have adhd and autism but only the kind of autism that doesnt actually disable you and they also crossdress but in a specifically humiliating way (why would a MAN wear a DRESS??? 🤪🤪 etc.) and they live together in a big house that they can both effortlessly afford and they're married and have 2 kids a dog and a cat (because Big man is dog coded and Little man is cat coded) and neither of them have jobs or lasting damage from canon events they've been through or physical disabilities or PTSD that I cant turn into Angsty Ship Content and the sun has a big smiley face and birds are just V shapes on the paper it doesnt have to be more complicated than that you dont have to flesh them out. you dont have to. and if you think about it wouldn't it just be soooo much effort to draw a whole bird?? youre just having fun its mean to ask you for detail. and my teacher lives at the school and the bus driver lives in the bus and everything is exactly the same :)

one thing about me is that i am a whore for MSG that’s right a WHORE for MONOSODIUM GLUTAMATE!!!

[meanbuddhist]

the mind is uncomfortable and the body she is also uncomfortable

[fractalradio]

personal underrated contender for favorite & most illuminating verity line like ever with regards to his marriage to kettricken is probably when he says it makes him feel like ‘an outislander whore’

[fractalradio]

so much of burrich’s ex-vs-current king’s man antagonisms towards fitz can be summed up as: ‘well, when i was raped, i sucked it up cause i knew it was my duty & i was glad to do it, too.’

[fractalradio]

the worst thing about it, too, is that burrich is the only person, ever, in the whole trilogy, to state out loud that the way verity treats fitz is wrong. (royal assassin, ch. 13) & even then he still capitulates, & ultimately enforces it too

A girl can be a handsome fella. This is obvious
