Realm of the Elderlings can't be adapted to tv now because people who haven't read the books will watch Civil Bresinga say "I know what you are" (about the nature of the relationship between two characters that are (as far as he knows) both men) and say that the producers are using memes to try to be modern, and that it feels completely out of place in an older fantasy story. They don't know that that actually happens word for word in a book published in 2003
The thing about Fitz that really tears me apart is how many things he is good at. Throughout the series you see all these jobs that come naturally to him: being a scribe, a stable master, a diplomat, even a soldier.
The only thing that he doesn't excel at is being an assassin. The only thing he's allowed to be.
part of what makes scholomance such a good example of the ya high school story is the way it takes the tropes of the high school experience to an extreme, allowing them to be played for their full potential. Other kids won't sit with you at lunch? Typical ya protagonist dilemma but in scholomance it is a matter of life and death. Kids feel isolated from their parents? you literally can't talk to them. High school social dynamics aren't petty at all here and people devoting their time to social standing is because your social standing is very literally determining your survival. It allows politics to be played in miniature for real stakes, not petty bullshit. This can go in a positive direction too: high school friendships WILL last forever because you live and die for them.
Interviewer: So there seems to be some tension between you, and El's paramour, the young Orion Lake
Precious the Mouse: I have. ONE JOB. To keep El safe from mals. WHICH WOULD BE MUCH EASIER IF THE DAFT BINT WOULD STOP TRYING TO SNOG THE FOOKIN' MAWMOUTH
Getting them out of my system. Bonus short hair El under the cut:
El Higgins, The Scholomance trilogy
very funny when people describe naomi novik's scholomance as dark academia because yes of course it's a critique and subversion of dark academia as a trend in fiction & as an aesthetic about desiring certain forms of power and prestige. so yeah i guess it's dark academia in that it's participating in the genre, except for the fact that the novels consist of the protagonist hitting the genre with a steel chair until the genre gives up and admits that colonialism is bad maybe.
but also like yeah it is dark academia in the sense that the light conditions in the scholomance are fucking terrible. broken lights constantly. also everything is grimy. no one is showering properly and nobody has brushed their teeth with toothpaste in 4 years. dark academia in the sense that the characters are barely visible under a layer of dirt. just try turning THAT into a pinterest board
"I think I will always miss him."
Farseer trilogy doodle page that got out of hand... Assassin's quest was so??!
the average ROTE meta post on tumblr: where do the fictional constraints of female oppression end and the real-world implications of RH's innately ingrained view on gender roles begin? How does the intersectionality of the Fool's gender expression and his need to manipulation circumstances to his/fate's advantage negatively and positively impact both the broader story and the overall message being projected throughout the work regarding gender non-conformity and the increasingly nebulous concept of "the one true self"? Is there such a thing as self determination or merely self-deception within varying layers of societal privilege? What does the positing of the inherently invasive Skill as a noble, desirable magic versus the far more mutually consensual Wit as a base and reprobate magic imply when examined through the lens of Wit as queerness and Skill as intimacy? Does authorial intent truly merit the final word in regard to widely recognized, consistent patterns of behavior and strong suggestions of undisguised desire between two apparently "platonic" friends? How does Hobb's attempt at commentary regarding societal oppression and cultures of violence fall short and what aspects of political upheaval and organized rebellion does she actually portray successfully?
the average ROTE meta post on Reddit: lol did anyone else fucking hate the Fool's guts? Did anyone else think Beloved was a conniving, evil, manipulative waste of space piece of shit who doesn't deserve to breathe the same air as Fitz, the perfect person, who has literally never done anything wrong as evidenced by his blameless First Person POV—
LIFE IS WORTH LIVING!!!!!!!
incredible that will's curse dictated that those who loved him would die, and yet those who loved him the most never did. not in his lifetime at least, and not for a long time after. jem was always meant to die, and yet still he lives a century and a half later. and tessa, while she was always going to be immortal, should never have been able to carry that life farther into a next generation, and yet she was able to spark new life with will. it's all continuity and perpetuity and new beginnings and, in everything filled with love that surrounds will, the very oppostite of death.
free my girl she did all that and that’s what makes her such a compellingly complex character. that’s her essence
A couple rough paints of some scenes from the Farseer Trilogy! I've been going through those books like crazy and having a great time.

Fanart by addiej01 Do not repost or use Image Description: Fanart of Eren Jäger as a child holding the knife-on-a-stick he build when stabbing the kidnappers. He is standing in a puddle of vibrant red that emmitts a soft light illuminateing him from below. The puddle is only limited by the Wall in the background. Above it the sky is filled with the glowing coils of the "source of all living matter" centipede that blends over in a picture of adult Eren grabbing it. While his hand is half faded, his head with the long hair and piercing green eyes is clearly visible.
kinda love the ominous ass cinematography they're using for qifrey bro really looks lowkey evil as fuck sometimes
