Back From The Dead

Don’t be a creep

[ashykneesy]

“rin had no character development” just because she didn’t get better doesn’t mean she was a static character 😭

poppy war rin would NEVER would have dreamed of the things she did by burning god

[ladydeath-vanserra]

Rin and Chaghans relationship is so hostile but it's so funny 😭 they're like siblings. they're fighting over a BOY. a DEAD boy

[thestars-inheaven]

Tpw didn’t get booktok famous cause they were not ready for the complexity of Altan and Rin

[galateasdreaming]

i dunno if ive said this before, (heads up obvious spoiler!) but i have a headcanon that nezha never cleaned the knife. he keeps it stored away rusting with her blood

[solemn-druid]

my favourite thing about poppy war tumblr is watching new readers lose their shit with every book in the trilogy

[dracure]

kitay saying “i’m so hungry i could eat yin nezha” to rin

[surenseer]

chaghan so much stronger than me bcz if baji asked the new recruit if she was gonna have babies w my bf to bring back the speerlies i would’ve crashed out BAAAAAD.

[hauntmemaybe]

I’m on chapter 20 of the dragon republic and this quote is haunting me 😭😭

What if this is foreshadowing for their relationship??it would be so poetic and so sad 😭

Also I just found out abt the water god thing with nezha??EVERYTHING MAKES SENSE BUT ITS MAKING IT MORE TRAGIC UGHHHGGG😭

one thing about me is im a rinkitay stan first human second. i love those little platonic soulmates more than life itself. i think about them 24/7. i will defend them with my life. they can do no wrong

THIS scene killed me twice when i read it, and killed me another couple of times when i draw it

[devotionconsumed]

my favorite dynamic is girl who is a murderer and unhinged with her twink pretty boy bf

[twobitzz]

i love when authors write women who engage in self destructive behavior to claw their way to esteem in an elitist environment when they already have twice the character and skill than those around them

[nartml]

Don't you love it when they're so ruthlessly doomed by the narrative it's actually a bit impressive how you ever even had hope

[cikebabbler]

as someone who is absolutely disgusted by the "he's bullying her because he likes her" trope, the only reason why I'm fine with rinezha is they are not that trope. nezha bullied rin because he just hated her and thought she was beneath him. he then started to begrudgingly respect her as his rival when she wiped the floor with his ass during the tournament. then he saw her as his ally when they fought together during the invasion of sinegard. as probably one of the only familiar faces in khurdalain, nezha's respect for rin started to turn into friendship. that friendship turned into affection and a budding love when they started working together in arlong. then whatever twisted thing it turned into after he betrayed her. rinezha isn't your generic enemies to lovers, bully-bullied love story. they are more than just a trope.

“Fight well. Keep us safe. I love you.” 😭😭😭

These platonic soulmates have my whole heart omg

I don’t see enough people talk about how rin and nezha’s ideologies essentially switch from tdr to tbg. like nezha was originally the idealistic one who really believed in a republic, meanwhile rin thinks he’s terribly naive. rin is pragmatic for the most part, plus she has her own goals and doesn’t really concern herself with this grand vision for the future of nikan. but this changes in tbg. reality has crushed nezha and he’s just trying to appease the hesperians so half of nikan won’t starve. rin on the other hand is attempting to start a revolution, in regards to her army gaining territory it’s working, but they don’t have the resources (aka food) to sustain the population. yet she pushes forward. she’s clinging to her ideals despite the destruction she’s causing. ofc, sacrificing yourself for your country is also a terribly idealistic thing to do, one she looked down on tearza for doing in the past. and then the once idealistic nezha is left to pick up the pieces.

When you bestie so hard there’s no world where Rin died and Kitay remained alive.
