[Text ID: Excerpt from Ursula K. Le Guin’s, The Left Hand of Darkness

“My helplessness is intolerable. I was one who set this machine running, and now cannot control its running. I slink in the streets with my hood pulled forward, to catch a glimpse of the Envoy. For this useless sneaking life I threw away my power, my money, and my friends. What a fool you are, Therem.

Why can I never set my heart on a possible thing?”

I finished reading The Left Hand Of Darkness earlier this month, and it has me in such a chokehold I’m already listening to the audiobook. From the first chapter it’s clear Estraven cares for Genly and is concerned for his well-being, and Genly is just so clueless ugh

“I can’t tell who this guy is loyal to” THEY’RE LOYAL TO YOU BRO.

"We were both silent for a little, and then he looked at me with a direct, gentle gaze. His face in the reddish light was as soft, as vulnerable, as remote as the face of a woman who looks at you out of her thoughts and does not speak.

And I saw then again, and for good, what I had always been afraid to see, and had pretended not to see in him: that he was a woman as well as a man. Any need to explain the sources of that fear vanished with the fear; what I was left with was, at last, acceptance of him as he was.
