#cr4 #azune nayar #thjazi fang #oof man when you put together that thjazi was azune's current age when the falconer's rebellion started #and around azune's age in the rebellion when he fought in the war of axe and vine oof #i think i did the math right on that #brennan calls thjazi the 19yo hero of the war of axe and vine #plus 8 years later to get to the falconer's rebellion .........#i Know brennan and luis have a long email thread regarding thjazi and azune's dynamic and i'd do anything to get my hands on it #sol are you okay ? no i'm not #this begun as rewatching scenes for my fic and evolved into this #Also ALSO i don't think azune's move with occtis was pre calculated or that he altered his behavior before to achieve that #but he has learned to be opportunistic and if there was a chance for the issue to be resolved he was going to take it #also x4 points to azune's and thjazi's tags and the discourse in them that #idk guys do you think them being child soldiers irreparably fucked up their sense of self??

the "m/m is an escape from misogyny" discourse has mostly revealed to me that the average tumblr user, regardless of where they stand on this particular issue, and I have a very different relationship to approaching sexism in fictional romance. like obviously I do think there's a good reason not to uncritically perpetuate egregiously misogynistic tropes and I don't blame women for not wanting to see female characters end up in romantic relationships with men who they the viewer consider misogynists (that being said, it is crucial to this conversation to understand what is unforgivable misogyny to one woman is often normalized and therefore understandable behaviors to another), but in my experience, a lot of attempts to create Certified Non-Misogynist Characters or Certified Non-Misogynist Worlds just ends up accidentally revealing the creator's own unconscious sexist biases so it's just better to, like, let the casual sexism that permeates relationships between men and women be an intentional part of the text and then examine it from there. if the audience is uncomfortable with that then they should reflect on it and come to their own conclusions as to how they feel about those sorts of behaviors, but by acknowledging that reality, the creator will have told a truer and more interesting story.

or to put it more plainly, I have yet to meet a person who is not sexist in some way or another, and so, I do not really expect that from fiction. furthermore, I do not think you can "escape" misogyny without first confronting its existence and any attempt to do so is ultimately futile.

let’s play a game of how many excerpts from assassin’s apprentice i can vaguely apply to azune in the first *checks notes* 2 and a half chapters

if Mumford & Sons existed in Aramán I think 17-year-old Azune would have listened to Little Lion Man on repeat every night in his tent and cried. And I think Teor would eventually go up to him and say "you are not little lion man" and it would just make Azune cry harder because now he thinks he accidentally offended Teor. And Teor would panic and say "no no I meant you are not metaphorical little lion man, I didn't think you thought you were an actual lion man." Which, of course, would just make Azune even more upset because he feels guilty that he thought Teor would not understand the metaphor. And eventually he'd just be lying on the ground ugly sobbing while Teor is patting his back and saying "I wish to kill Mumford and all of his Sons"

not that anyone asked for further analysis but I think Kattigan would introduce Azune to Bruce Springsteen but instantly regret it because Azune would just listen to Nebraska on loop. he tells Teor "If I have to listen to Atlantic City one more time we'll find out whether everything that dies someday comes back." And Teor says "is still better than listening to the eh eh oh Bastille song every day, no?"

Thjazi keeps trying to get him into Green Day but Azune will only listen to Wake Me Up When September Ends and Boulevard of Broken Dreams

An Archive of Our Own, a project of the Organization for Transformative Works

He had to remember the exact wording, the muscles that moved as it spoke. The way magic swirled and how it affected the surroundings. The ache of loss and the exact shape it left behind. The warmth of joy, and how it colored everything around it. The depth of the wound, and the shape of a weapon that formed a scar.

It had to be done regularly, religiously to that degree, or they would be altered; each time growing more distant until they would disappear.

A series of memories from Azune’s life.

#azune nayar #mine : fics #cr4 #mine : art.#yet another azune study #it all started by some quick snippets #from a prompt list #i didn’t think them too much or edit them extensively they’re quick and short and painful #also fuelled by the fact that i started reading the assassins apprentice

What Table Would You Be At?

In the long dark winter of our soul (aka the summer break) something needs to take the effects of my hyper fixation

Are you a Soldier? On a quest for justice or revenge? Ready to fight and flee and raise your weapons?

Are you a Seeker, searching for something lost? Something that needs to be found before it is too late.

Or are you a Schemer? Do you have a day job that needs work and night shifts that keep you up until dawn doing the hard work it takes to change fates?

Show me your results! I wanna seeeeeeee

I did my best to keep spoilers out of it, so you should be able to take the quiz even if you're not caught up on Arc 1 yet.

Azune Nayar is not someone who was failed in his youth by the adults around him.

Azune Nayar is someone whose childhood and youth were marked by adults who, faced with bad choices, made the less-worse one because they cared about him.

His parents starved themselves to give him and his sister the chance of being recruited as child soldiers by a mercenary group, because that was the only way to protect him from starvation.

Thjazi Fang saw a child abandoned by the roadside, desperately, determinedly, and implausibly claiming he could fight. Thazi Fang was in the middle of waging a rebellion against the powers of Araman. That rebellion wasn’t the best place for a child of twelve. But it was a better place than abandoned by the roadside or picked up by another mercenary group, and Thjazi cared, so Thjazi took him in and assigned him to noncombat work away from the front lines.

By 15 Azune was fighting on the front lines. (In an earlier war, the same was true of Thazi at that age.)

Thjazi’s rebellion failed. He asked his brother Hal to look out for the teenage Azune. Hal did so, treating Azune as part of his family. Hal did the same for other people who needed it. Being like family wasn’t the same as being Hal’s kid.

The tragedy of Azune isn’t that he was failed or abandoned or uncared for or used. The tragedy of Azune is that the best that people who cared about him could give him still wasn’t the same as what he needed, because being an adult doesn’t make you all-powerful. Azune’s problems weren’t created by those who loved him. They were created by the world he lives in.

Azune lived his adult life for the Torn Banner because it was the life he knew; or out of loyalty; or because they were the ones trying to change that world into something different.

He offers understanding and empathy to enemies (Julien) and strangers (Vaelus). He learned that somewhere.

He will self-immolate for a cause. He likely learned that from his parents, who did it for him, and from Thjazi, who did it for the same cause.
