"Before I knew it, he'd become the center of my life. Then they took him from me..."

Fitz and Burrich are so special to me 😭🙏🏻

The quote I used is not exactly the one that appears in the book bc it was too long, I had to rephrase it

[2129888]

imagine having your own personal hater who's been assigned to you by fate and he is a tiny little clown who won't stop following you around and yammering about your imminent demise and worst of all you love him dearly

Fitz(Chivalry)

You probably can't tell but I tried using a different brush for the rendering and I think I like it!! It gives a very nice painterly texture :D

Beloveds

[vehuhia-rp]

You know what, there’s something that PISSES me off in Tawny Man. When Nighteyes die, after Fitz goes to Kettricken and he grieves with her, he goes back to Beloved and Beloved says something along the line: “I’m glad she could give you what I couldn’t. I loved Nighteyes, but I only knew him through you, as an extension of you” (or something like that)

And it PISSES ME OFF. Like, Beloved spent days and days with Nighteyes in Jhaampe, feeding him, both of them freaking out over Fitz’s condition. When Nighteyes all but broke through his window to snarl at everyone while Chade, Kettricken and Starling were upsetting Fitz, Beloved was the only one who wasn’t afraid, and he pushed them all out and remained alone with Fitz and Nighteyes.

During their quest to find Verity, he slept nearly every night between Nighteyes and Fitz. He hunted with them, played with them, fought alongside them.

When he laid his fingers on Fitz’s wrist to unlock Kettle’s Skill, he downright bonded with Nighteyes as Fitz had bonded with him, all three of their souls merging and becoming one. He saw him, knew him like only Fitz did.

Later, in Tawny Man, when he came back to Fitz and spent weeks in his cabine, he could almost hear Nighteyes, could feel him. His bond with him was as strong as his bond with Fitz, for someone both unskilled and unWitted.

When Fitz lost himself in Nighteyes’s body to save him, Beloved knew both of them enough that he could find Fitz there and bring him back.

When Fitz fled through the Skillpillar with Dutiful, Beloved remained behind with Nighteyes, and fought and risked his own life to protect him.

And yet, AND YET, Hobb wants us to believe that he didn’t know him, that he was just a random wolf that Beloved saw as a part of Fitz??? It PISSES ME OFF

Ive said this before and I’ll probably say it a million more times, its absolutely Insane that the most honest Fitz ever got to be about what Beloved means to him was in FF when Beloved was dead. This was the most open we have ever seen him, when it was just him and Beloveds body, no Nighteyes sharing his mind, nobody around him (yknow, apart from Ilistore for a brief period of time but still) and we get to know soso much about their relationship from what Fitz admits to himself when he thinks nobody else is listening.

My dream was dead in my arms obviously but also, might I argue more importantly, calling Beloved by his name, Knowing what it means. Bestowing them with his name, essentially claiming they’re bound, they’re each others’, they belong together as much as two people can belong together (even more than that). Him acknowledging this part of himself and resigning himself to it, only to later go back into his shell as soon as Beloved comes back to life :((( Beloved never knowing Fitz did this bc he never told him…. God just shoot me instead actually

I do think Fool’s reaction to the affinity charm in TM is the funniest thing ever

Fitz is so casually like ‘yeah it’s supposed to make people like me more but idk if it really works’ and Fool is borderline breaking out in a sweat at the sight of it

Like imagine loving someone ‘with no limits’ and then they show up with the Affection Booster 3000 on their neck 😭 that’s crazy

civil bresinga talks a lot of shit for someone who is visibly also in a weird situationship with a farseer who will never like him back. i’m kind of obsessed with him though he’s funny as hell

[klamv-art]

I'm in tears, I miss Nighteyes so much 😭😭

[cloverboyblue]

thank u robin hobb for making fitzchivalry farseer canonically bad at sex and then making his dearest friend call him out on it during their big fight. and not having him defend himself at all because it is true. really excellent stuff

[boitterfly]

oh sorry was it gay when i hunted through a half collapsed frozen city carved into the depths of an iceberg to find and burn your body because i knew how you hated the cold? was it gay when i carried you through that icy labyrinth half mad with grief and fatigue speaking aloud to your unhearing ears asking the gods to let you laugh at me one more time? or when i lovingly prepared you for your funeral pyre and bid you farewell with my own name because you are as dear to me as my own life? how about when i defied the gods and through the force of my will for you to live, reordered the path of reality itself, giving myself over to your death in the hope of bringing your body back to life from within? was it gay when my soul was within your body, and yours in mine, and i finally understood what you said to me when you told me you loved me?

I have just finished Tawny man trilogy this morning and I am awfully disappointed in Fitz and how he let Fool let him go away to try and have a peaceful life without him-- Fitz JUST saved him and was ready to give away the possible future he dreamt of all his life - to try and marry Molly and raise her kids and fulfill the promise to Burrich!!! he offered to leave all of that behind to be with Fool. He calls Beloved his "dream" dude just kill me

“I will give you all your dreams, if only you come back!”

My dream was dead in my arms. I continued to walk.

I cannot believe Fitz just agreed with Fool not letting him to go with him!!!! Reminded me of what Lacey said in Royal Assassin:

“I was thinking that you are very like your father,” Lacey observed tartly. “Except not quite as stubborn. He did not give up as easily as you have.” She shut the door firmly behind me.

i am simultaneously the biggest fan and hater of Fitz. What are we doing man.

If there's one hill I will die on it's this one: Fitz made the right decision for Nettle. Her childhood away from politics, intrigue and danger was the best thing that could have happened to her. She grew up a normal child, with no concerns beyond her childhood. She had siblings and loving parents. Should she have been told about her parentage before everything came crumbling down? Likely. But I do not think Fitz was wrong in wishing for his child a safe and normal childhood like he never had. I believe Chade, Kettricken, Dutiful and even Nettle herself underestimate the value of her "common" upbringing. At the same time, Fitz has been burned too badly to realise Nettle might have benefitted from an earlier education in court manners and the Skill. And still. He provided his child with the best start in life that he could imagine, with all the comforts he was denied. Nettle can be angry at him (and Molly and Burrich) all she wants for hiding her true parentage and for how he acted trying to continue that deception. But nobody else has the right to rebuke him for it. Especially not Chade or Kettricken, who have witnessed how he has been treated at the Farseer court, and who must understand that he might want to protect his child from likewise harm.
