hey do u guys remember when all of Fitz’s scars were healed in Golden Fool 😀 how the scars were helping to conceal his resemblance to his father but without them it would have been too obvious at a glance. Fitz seeing himself “as [he] might’ve been”, a version of himself where he wasn’t so traumatized and injured by his being a Farseer bastard. a version of himself that wasn’t used and abused for his family. and then he had to put the scars back for his safety and to continue devoting himself to the Farseer line. ouch

sharing more bits of my fic about Fitz’s mom :) draft one of part one is finished at around 11k words

here’s a motif that occurs during pivotal moments in her relationship with Chivalry:

^^ first meeting

^^ point of no return

^^ final parting

read this first quote in Fool’s Quest and it reminded me of the ending of Frankenstein

there are heavy themes of shame present in both texts, the desire for deep companionship and characters’ inability to believe they can be loved

I would actually love to dive deeper into parallels between Fitz, Victor and the Creature but I would need a minute to figure it all out lol

mere!

Fitz would look back for Fool in an Orpheus/Eurydice situation btw

[silverlemonad3]

my current list of character dynamics in literature that I find similar to Fitz & the Fool

- Achilles and Patroclus (the Iliad)

- David and Jonathan (the Bible)

- Victor and Henry (Frankenstein)

[silverlemonad3]

am I projecting Fitz & the Fool onto everything or are they actually just haunting every narrative

scene from Clockwork Prince btw. adding Will Herondale and James Carstairs to my aforementioned list

SPINNING SILVER ❆ NAOMI NOVIK

❝ THERE ARE MEN WHO ARE WOLVES INSIDE, and want to eat up other people to fill their bellies. That is what was in your house with you, all your life. But here you are with your brothers, and you are not eaten up, and there is not a wolf inside you. You have fed each other, and you kept the wolf away. That is all we can do for each other in the world, to keep the wolf away. ❞

yeah every prophecy sounds fake until an old woman grabs your wrist with impossible strength and starts speaking in riddles
