listen. we all love fitzloved but listen.
amber/paragon is SO compelling to me.
it's literally the greek myth of pygmalion and galatea. the carver creating their ideal soulmate, that comes to life.
paragon soaks in the life and misery and blood and emotions of everyone he comes into contact with, and is torn apart by everyone's expectations and disappointments in him. but amber is able to hold herself apart from him, and she remains totally mysterious to him. she does change him, but not in the one-sided way everyone else had. and she gives him his vision back.
amber is the carver who is obsessed with their muse, their ideal soulmate. and paragon is literally named paragon, the representation of all that is virtuous and beautiful. but the etymology of paragon goes back further. it referred to a touchstone, that would test the purity of gold. back further, it meant "to sharpen"
amber is associated with gold, and also carving knives. really what this reveals is an aspect of fitz/fool's relationship. the catalyst will be the chisel chipped and dulled for the sake of the world, for the broken tool is that which will pry open the future. fitz is her tool that must be broken. but paragon parallels fitz in many ways, and his name means 'to sharpen'.
the difference between amber and pygmalion is that pygmalion carved his ivory woman because he was disgusted with the women he saw. amber carved the man she loved. the difference between paragon and galatea is that she was perfect. both were made against their own will and paragon's story reflects the darker side of that.
but galatea isn't really a human woman, though aphrodite breaths life into her. she is too perfect. paragon will never be human either, nor amber, but they are much closer, they are human by proxy of their loved ones. that's why it's so important that amber carves paragon with all his scars and his crooked nose.
its like an anti-fairy tale. it doesn't end in happily ever after, paragon isn't fixed by love, he never becomes a real man. they are both flawed and real. the end.
i like to think he wondered
He lifted my hand and tenderly kissed the sword-calloused palm of it, and then held it in both of his. It was a farewell, and I knew it, and knew I could do nothing to stop it. I sat still, feeling as if I grew hollow and cold, as if Nighteyes were dying all over again. I was losing him. He was withdrawing from my life and I felt as though I were bleeding to death, my life trickling out of me. (Fool's Fate Ch. 34)
a very long time ago @weirwoodsugar made this post about modern au amber and I drew it and then switched tablets and thought it was GONE forever but I just found it!!!! so here u go.. art market amber rote. ask her about her prophetic dreams
my perfectly straight friend fitzchivalry's reaction about his dearest friend potentially having sired a son that's in grave danger:
Grief
Left to right: Chade, Patience, Burrich, Molly, the Fool
Fitz is so done with them
I’ve been trying to paint portraits with more paintary brushes and obviously the Fool is my go-to character when it comes to drawing/painting so there he is again
we were talking on discord the other day and then this happened
I've been meaning to finish this one for weeks - it's Fitz and Amber and they're very happily in love
doodled Amber today
I'm playing stalker and I will draw a gay au for it
