Laura's face seeing marisha's notes is taking me OUT

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.

#this is INCREDIBLY well said #kattigan’s alcoholism and his missing and murdered wife and daughter are parts of him deeply rooted in native american experience #robbie is a guy who LOVES his wife and daughters #he wouldn’t just give his character a dead wife and daughter for fun to generate angst #there’s more going on there#< previous tags#yes exactly this #the context of robbie being indigenous and kattigan being indigenous-coded #changes the nature and messaging behind kattigan's backstory and the loss of his wife and daughter #especially with their kidnapper/murderer being a member of an untouchable privileged class (tags via @navpike and @cassafrasscr)

vaelus saying “we’re going to write out our plan on a board? great idea.” and murray protesting “we can erase it! are you aware of how chalk works?” and vaelus deadpanning “I’ve never heard of it.” (bonus: thaisha saying “vaelus, you’re right. you are funny.”) 😂

i dont know what is going on with hannan and vaelus, but whatever it is i support it

We said 'flower-doll' not because that's how we saw you, but because it's what we knew she saw you as. An eternity, to have all of your complexity, all of your possibility, all of your dreams folded into an idyllic paradise where you would be punished for the most minor infraction?

I'm kind of obsessed with Hal being a D-list celebrity in Dol Makjar like that man cannot go anywhere without being clocked. Strangers at the club ask him to sing karaoke for them. The literal king of a foreign country knows who he is. Even the fucking mobsters he's fighting in the sewers are like "wait a minute, is that-"

Politically, Ingrid is an excellent match for Julien not only because of her position in Helvar and her vast fortunes or even her sorcerous might. It is also because she has a spine of fucking steel to stubbornly defy the likes of her father, flee his command, betray his motives, and agree to continue doing so for the sake of finding an out from a Tachonis marraige and her own attraction to Julien, and thus might be one of the few individuals in Araman who can weather having Maya Davinos as a mother in law.
